The First Gentleman of Europe

Lima Bauer's descriptions of the sort Of
moral pig-stye in which the reigning fam
lilies of Germany and England lived in the
first years of the century are just if unsav-
ory. There is certainly no want of frank
ness in her "reminiscences of the petty Ger
man courts with their sordid poverty, their
stiff etiquette and the unspeakable dirt that
lay behind it, nor in her comments on the
beastly person whom pious England COM
placently called ''the first gentleman in
Europe"
This is the noble guise in which that first
gentleman appeared in the last year of his
life: ''For years the king, unnerved by
the excesses of all kinds. suffered from va
rious maladies-gOut, drOpsy, asthma, ossi-
fication of the heart, general debility and
frequent swooning fits. He could no longer
walk alone. A special machine was devised
to enable him to mount horse. 4 rolling
chair brought his majesty up a gently ris-
ing incline to a platform. From it the
enormously swollen colossus, with the thin,
emaciated legs-which, so it was said, on
festive occasions were bolstered up and
stiffened by six pairs of stockings and high
lacing bootS-was lifted up by a crane,
softly lowered into the saddle, and now
the ride down the front could begin. The
nervous system of the king had become so
weakened that he drank brandy or rum
without ceasing. often eleven large glasses
day, besides strong whisky punch, just to
keep himself alive. In January, 1880,
Christian Stockmar brought US the news
that the king had lost the sight of both
eges, and was furthermore perpetually
drunk, so as to be invisible for everybody.
On the oath of May, formal communication
was made to parliament that the kings
weakness was so extreme that he could no
longer sign his name"

Our Relations with Cuba.

special 10 tne GloDe-
WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-The attention of
the administration is now occupied with
consideration of means for improving our
commercial relations with Spain and Cuba.
Gen. Foster negotiated no new treaty, and
1t IS understood nothing in the form Of an
ordinary reciprocity treaty is contemplated,
but Gen. Foster found the Spanish govern
ment willing to negotiate for an improve
ment in commercial relations, and it is un-
derstOod some Of the inconvenience and
injustices most complained OF by American
shippers in their dealings with Cuban ports
are likely to be remedied. The Gus
toms authorities in Cuban ports have
always been very arbitrary and
unjust in dealing with American shippers
and shipmasters. Heavy fines have been
imposed frequently, and some times for
FIXTURES have been declared for the most
tritIng, unintentional and inconsequential
faults in bill OF lading, or a manifest OF a
clearance. American merchants and cap
talnS have again and again complained, and
the state department has at various times
tried to do something for them, but Spanish
beaurOcracy has always come out ahead.
Gen. Foster had a long interview with the
secretary OF state yesterday, explaining
what the Spanish government was will
ing to do, and to-day the matter was
considered by the cabinet. 1t is hoped that
the Spanish government will not only con-
sent to mind the manners of its Cuban
customs officers. but it will make some re-
duction in eXtortionate duties collected III
Cuban ports on American flour and other
staple exports 1t is hoped to have treaty
to submit to the senate during the winter.
There is reason to believe that minister to
Spain has been selected and that he is not
Gov. Reynolds of Missouri, but the state
department is keeping the gentlemans
name a dead secret

Our Mary Safely Returns.

New YORK, Oct 6.-Mary Anderson,
who arrived here to-day, said: "You can't
think how pleased am to be back again in
America. have been away for two years,
and have been longing to get back again.
The voyage over was long and tiresome. 1t
was so cold and rough during the whole of
the passage that am really tired out, and
you must excuse me if l do not talk much -
''What OF your experiences ON the other
side"
II love England and English people.
They were very kind to me. L was well
received everywhere l went, and have made
some very dear friends over there. My
mother and two sisters are over there now
I expect to go back again next summer
sometime"
Miss Anderson is somewhat stouter than
when she sailed away two years ago, and,
if it is possible, handsomer than ever.

Washington Waits.

Joseph E. Hayden, a Sl,400 clerk in the
pension Office, was dismissed to-day ''for
using gross language toward the executive
of the United States" The offense is al
legged to have been committed while he was
riding in carriage OF Pennsylvania avenue,
when, it is said, he even went so far as to
wish for the death of the president. Hayden
was appointed by President Arthur, but
claims to be a Democrat.
The president yesterday made the follow
ing appointments: To be receivers of public
moneys: Samuel L. Gilbert at Wichita Kan.
William C. Jordan at Montgomery, Ala !;
Oliver Sherman at North Platte, Neb.; Sam
uel 6. Glover at Valentine, Neb. To be reg
listers of land Offices: William Neville at
North Platte; S. T. Batelle at Valentine,
Neb.

The National Republican says the appoint
ment Of 8 pension agent at Indianapolis will
be made either tomorrow or next day and
that Col. Zoelnger Of Fort Wayne, Ind, will
be the man.
1t is officially denied at the postoffice de-
partment that the postmaster at Buffalo has
been either removed or suspended as re-
ported.
The next session of the senate will have
over one thousand postmasters to con-
firm.

Aroused the Patriarehal Circles.


MILWAUKEE, Oct. 6.-The original
trouble between the Patriarchal circle and
the Odd Fellows has developed into wider
breach than ever since the recent meeting
of the Sovereign Grand lodge in Baltimore.
The circle was organized in Milwaukee
several years ago and now has member
ship of over 400, being especially strong in
Illinois and Ohio. The circle was never
looked upon with favor by the Sovereign
Grand lodge, although every effort was
made to placate that body. The Grand
lodge. at its recent session, refused to
recognize the circle. A special meeting of
the supreme temple of the circle will be
called to meet in Chicago Nov. 10, when
steps will be taken to establish the order
as an independent organization. a prom
inent member of the circle said to-day: las
the sovereign grand lodge refuses to recog-
nize US we will hereafter be an independ-
ent order. This will affect us but little;
we have as fine ritual as any order in eX-
istence, a splendid insurance system, and
pay liberal weekly benefits. The circle,
however, has been from the first a benefit
to Odd Fellowship, as members have first
to become Odd Fellows. The members
almost to man are enthusiastic in main
tanning the order on an independent basis
in the future"

Exercising the Wen.

PHIL1PPoPoLIs. Oct 6.-Ten thousand
volunteers for service in Macedonia have
been concentrated in south Bulgaria under
government contract. The proposal to
make Prince Alexander merely governor of
Roumelia causes dissatisfaction here 1t is
considered an impracticable proposition
and is likely to prevent pacific settlement
of the trouble.
VIENNA, Oct. 6.-The war Office is max
ing preparations for partial mobilization
of the army. On all the Hungarian state rail-
ways preparations are being made for trans
portation of the troops to Semlin and forti-
fed frontier towns in Slavonia. The Aus
trian navy will also be modified.

Durbin Wards Appeal.


COLUMBUS, o., Oct. 6.-Gen. Durbin
Ward, president of the Ohio Democratic
league, has issued card in which he sets
forth the principles of the Democratic
party in the campaign. he further saws:
Victory in Ohio by the election of the
whole state ticket and a majority in the
legislature would be a blow to the Repub-
lican party from which it could not recover
This their leaders well know. and hence
they are haranguing the whole state and. as
their last hope, seeking to arouse the old
anmositieS of the war. They are eyasper-
ated sthat the colOred voter whom they en-
franchiSed that they might vote them and
perpetuate their own power is learning to
think and vote for himself, and not at their
dictatlon. They are trying to convince
him and the people of the state that in the
South, as Sherman says, The negro is de-
prived substantially of all his political
rights by open violence or by frauds as
mean as any that have been committed by
penitentiary convicts, and as openly and
boldly done as any highway robbery. And
they threaten 10 deny equal voice in con-
gress TO the people of the South" This
wicked appeal to sectional spirit is made in
the face of the fact that the vote of the
whole South, though the country is thinly
populated, lacks but ? per cent of
being as great in proportion to population
as in the densely populated states of the
northern seaboard and in the face of the
fact, too that in the seeded states the pre-
tended bulldozed solid South" with As per
cent. of the voters colored, the vote for
president last year was fuller by So per
cent. than in New England. The great
object of our association is the success of
the Democratic principles and policy. Garry

Wore Lands Than Grants.

Special to the GLOBE.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-The season of
annual reports is at hand. The secretary
has received all the estimates from his
bureau officers, but he has not got beyond
the financial part of his report. He cannot
write much until he gets the annual reports
of his bureau officers and none Of them have
yet got their reports finished. The report
from Commissioner Sparks Of the general
land Office promises to be quite out of the
usual run of routine public documents
The commissioner has had large force of
clerks at work adjusting the railroad grants,
and the discovery has been made that no
road has been found to have less land than
its grant called for. All have more, and
many of them far more than they are en-
titled to. The Atchison, Topeka q Santa
Fe road has more than half q million acres
in excess of its grant. The Winona 6 St.
Peter road in Minnesota has four hundred
thousand acres over and above its grant
and the st. Paul & Sioux City road has
also large excess. Maps have been made
showing how false lines have been run. 1t
is understood that the report will recon-
mend the institution of suits against these
roads on the part of the government.

Crafty John Sherman.

WASHINGTON, Oct. Ga pretty active
Democrat here, who is just back from Ohio,
writes for one of the local papers that the
real fight in Ohio is being made for Sher-
man. THE shrewdnesS of Sherman" he
says, sis just beginning to dawn upon the
Democratic leaders. He opened the cam
paign with great flourish of trumpets on
the bloody-shirt issue. He carried the idea
that this was the whole fight. In spite of
the absurdity of the issue, he put the Dem
ocratS to a considerable extent on the
defensive. First Gov. Hoadly answered
him, then Durbin Ward answered him, and
so on until the bloody shirt was about all
that was heard from the stump or in the
newspapers. This was all done while the
ironworkers were out in Cleveland and
Youngstown. Now the strike is ended. the
chimneys are smoking again, and Senator
Sherman suddenly plays that old winning
''joker," the tariff issue. Sherman is now
much more than ever before the Republican
leader in Ohio. He is as powerful as any
dictator. In fact there is no 9th er Republ-
can of importance in the state. Keifer has
gone West to go upon q ranch. He may
come back to congress some day in cow
boys suit. Charley Foster, who a few
years ago was much more powerful
than Sherman, is in quiet retirement at
Fostoria. He is no longer an element. He
lost his grip entirely by his position on the
temperance question. Garfield is dead and
Hayes is devoting his attention exclusively
to his Fremont hennery. Little Breeches"
Foraker, the candidate for governor, is OF
no consequence whatever. Sherman is
making the preliminary skirmish for the
presidential nomination in 1883. Nothing
will stand in his way of being the favorite
son of Ohio, if he wins the present cam
paign. He fully grasps the situation. and
therefore is conducting the campaign Oh
national issues"

Disque, saloonkeeper, surrendered him.
self to the police this afternoon, saying that
he had killed his wife. An investigation
proved the truth of his statement. His
story is that he went home this afternoon
and found his wife drunk, with strange
man in the house, who hastily left; that a
quarrel ensued; that his wife tried to kill
him with knife, and that in the struggle
over its possession the weapon accidentally
entered her throat. The wound is eight
inches long, running from ear to ear.
When the police went to the place they
found the woman dead on the floor and her
seven-months-old babe dabbling in her
blood, which stood in pools on the floor.
The dead woman leaves two other children,
aged and years. Insane jealousy is be-
lieyed to have caused the act.

Bold Train Robbery.

ALTOONA, Pa, Oct. 6.-As the regular
train from Hollidaysburg was nearing
Allegheny Furnace this morning four men
took possession of one of the cars, and,
while three of them intimidated the passen-
gers with reyolvers. the fourth went through
the car and deliberately robbed such of the
occupants as he chose to select. One of the
passengers made show of resistance, but
he was attacked with knife and cut
through the hand. The conductor next
grappled with one of the robbers and was
dragged out to the platform of the car and
beaten with revolver handle. The robbers
then pulled the bell rope and jumped off,
escaping to the woods. The Pennsylvania
Railroad company has sent out officers in
all directions.

CANNOT LIVE LONG.
Cardinal McClOskey Very Low and
HIS Death Hourly Expected.

New YORK, Oct. 6.-The following bull
letin was issued from Cardinal McCloskey's
residence to-day by the clergy in charge:
'His eminence, the cardinal, has had for
over two days change in his condition which
renders him very weak and apparently in
great danger of death, so much so that it was
considered prudent to administer to him the
last sacram ent.''
Rev. Thomas G. Preston, chancellor and
vicar general of the diocese, administered
the last rites to his eminence. In CONVEX
satlon with reporter Father Preston said:
1.-The cardinal was a little bit brighter to-
day, and while low and weak, was quite
cheerful. His condition, however, leaves
us little hope. His advanced years and the
disease from which he has been suffering,
together with severe cold recently con-
tracted by him, have had tendency to hasten
his end. He has lived a long life of useful
ness, and his reputation as an ecclesiastic is
world Wide. OF course in the event of his
death, the office of cardinal will not be va
cant long, because his grace Archbishop
Corrigan is coadjutor bishop, with the right
OF succession, and he would become cardi-
nal Immediately, without the necessity of
confirmation by the authorities in Rome. A
circular has been issued by the cathedral
functionaries to all the churches in the dio-
cese,
ASKING FOR THE PRAYERS
Of the faithful for his eminence While
there is life there is hope, and we can only
await Gods will" DR.. E. S. Keys, the
cardinals physician, was seen to-day. He
said: Il have not seen his eminence this
morning, but cannot hold out any hope of
his rallying. His disease has no more
power, being the gradual failing of his
powers from extreme old age more than
anything else. He may inger for some
days yet" The following bulletin was
issued at o'clock tonight by the cardinals
secretary:
The cardinal to-day made his usual pro-
fess1ou OF faith and received the holy Yiati-
cum by the ministration of Archbishop Cor
rigan. There were present Rt. Rev. Bishop
Laughlin of Brooklyn, Monsignors Quinn and
lerese, 5. j., and the cathedral priests. a
dispatch from the pope was received, ex-
pressing his deep sorrow and giving his
apostolic blessing.
The dispatch referred to ran thus:
'Gravls moeror SUNNI pontificis benedic-
tion concessa." DR.. E. L. Hayes said that
Cardinal McCloskey was weaker at D. IN.
than at the same hour Monday evening The
patient was conscious, but not able to speak.
He was able to take liquid nourishment
without difficulty. The doctor felt positive
his patient would not die during the night.
Three of the cardinals nieces are watching
with him. Mrs. Cleary of Washington,
Mrs. John Kelly and Miss Mullen, sister
of mercy, and an aged servant are also in
attendance. The right of succession of the
coadiutor bishop extends only to the arch
blshopic and not to the cardinalate.

Must Fight or Buy.

DUBLIN, Oct. 6.-John Dillon, presiding
at meeting of the National league to-day,
warned tenants who contemplated the i'm
mediate purchase of land, not to pay more
than the amount of ten years rental of the
same. The people, he said, must either
buy OF fight for land. and the price he indi-
Gated was, in his opinion, fair compensa-
ton to the landlord. The announced par
liamentary fund amounts to $4,000. The

industries. The Irish Times says that pro-
lection is impossible without removing Ire

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-At the White
house to-day it is declared that the letter
printed by number of papers this morning
on the New York state election, purporting
to have been written by the president to a
friend in Buffalo, is forgery. The only
utterance the president has made on the
subject was an answer which he dictated
to Col. Lamont, his private secretary, to be
made to an inquiry sent him by CORES
pondent, and was as follows:
1.-THE president is a Democrat, and it is
strange that any person should ques-
ton his position. He earnestly desires the
success of his party in the pending election
in New York as well as elsewhere, and any
assertion to the contrary is utterly and ma
