FISH In PRISON GARB.
His Beard Shaved and His Hair Cropped

AUBURN, n. Y, July lit is doubtful if the

room Of the Marine Bank, would recognize in
the shaven and shorn convict who now is known
as No. 1864 the same man. The prison clothier
and barber have entirely changed his appear
ance. His beard is shaved and the circle of hair
around his head is cut short. A suit of cloth
ing, ill-fitting, patched and evidently having
seen previous service, but perfectly clean, was
given him. He made no complaint. His only
remark while going through 1.-The mill." as the
bathroom and barber shop are called, was that
he supposed all new corners passed through the
same ordeal A new suit of clothing will be
given him soon.
Fish spent Sunday reading and thinking. He
held talk with Jim Brady, the New York bank
burglar, who is waiter i'll the prison. Today
Fish was assigned to a cell on the north side of
the south wing. 1t is known rs No. on the
fourth gallery. and from its door can be seen the
handsome lawn in the center of the prison in
closure. Fish appeared refreshed this morning,
and still maintains his composure. He registered

is written ''misappropriating funds of national

the Marine Nationa. Bank" His age is sixty

religious advantages Re weighs 1864 pounds
and is five feet six and a-half inches in height
No work has been given him, although an effort
will be made to find him some light labor to
occupy his time. To-day number of convicts
obtained permission to speak to him. but he did
not seem inclined to talk. He took breakfast
and dinner in the mess hall to-day and ate
moderately.

entered in the Superior Court against the Board
of Trade firm of John Il. Lester & Co., by Sam

THE Western Christian Advocate of this
week has this to say, which we commend to
those ultra temperance men who immod-
erately denounce all who differ from them az
! to methods and measures:
eve recognize the fact, however, that there
are persons who hate the liquor business as
much as we do and pray and toll as earnestly
for the destruction of it, who think that at
this time prohibition is impracticable, and
are, therefore willing for the present, to &C
cept something less hoping that by and by
prohibition can be secured and enforced. We
meet such people every day, and we cannot
question either their intelligence or their thor
ough temperance principles. They would hail
with rapture the suppression of every saloon
in the world. We do not take their view of
the case, but it justifes itself to themselves,
and they are not to be condemned as lacking
either conscience or good sense. We do not
propose to assail them. 1t is easier to fling
epithets than to frame arguments, but calling
hard names is not the best way to win men to
our way Of thinking Epithets have less
power to remove doubts and produce convic
ton than to provoke anger and arouse resent
ment We must not assail our brethren be-
cause they do not agree with us as to the best
method by which to secure the end which we
all agree is desirable"

In the course of criticism upon ox-Minis-
ter Lowell, an eastern exchange remarks with
crushing severity that the literary man is nat
urally vain and amenable to fattery, and that
''no matter how strong his Republican princi-
pies, the perfumed breath of duchess on his
cheek has the effect Of modifying his fierce
democratic feelings" This is grave charge,
but as against literary men exclusively, does
not appear to be well sustained. Atall events,
what reason has the world for believing that
the perfumed breath of duchess will not

POLITICAL history reveals nothing moro

ers in the back in the dark. Neither is there
any parallel to the complete collapse Of this

its theme and inspiration. The rec
ords will be searched in vain
for another thing that William F.
Villas ever did or said above mediocre. His
speech at the Chicago convention was as
insipii as stale beer, and his address of mott
fcation to the candidates as stilted, unnatural
and tawdry as the commonest bit of COM
mencement rhetoric. Except Secretary Bay

THE New York Times says, editorially:


''The reception which Mr.. Clevelands Gus
tom-house appointments have met in this city
confirms what we said Of them yesterday.
The principal feeling expressed is one of sur
prise, except among the politicians who are
closely attached to the fortunes of Hubert O..
Thompson. or whose fortunes may be said to
be attached to that gentleman. The surprise
was the greater because it was generally
thought that if the President had any inten-
ton of yielding to the influence of Mr..
Thompson he would do so frankly, place
him in the collectors Office and take
the consequences. Mr.. Thompson and his
immediate followers are naturally elated, and
they profess themselves as entirely satisfied
with what they have secured. They profess,
also. to be very we'll suited with the selection
Of Mr.. Beattie as surveyor, but this is cred
tied, doubtless, with justice, to the direct per-
sonal account of Secretary Whitney. It is
not a change of which the Secretary of the
Navy has any reason to be proud. 1t is not
one for which it will be easy to ASST On any
satisfactory reasons. Mr. Benedict, whom
Beattie replaces, has been third of a century
in the customs service; he is an upright ex-
perienced and capable officer, and is in no
sense PARTISAN offensive or otherwise. The
Senate is not likely to acquiesce very grace
fully in his removal"

HEIR TO $35,0O0,000
A Boston Man Who Goes to England to Es-
tablish His Claim to the Fortune.

BosroN, July Thomas j. Mulby, of this
city, has resigned his position of superintendent
of the North end Industrial School, and will go
to Newfoundland, and thence to England, to
look after the Churchill estate, as he is one of
the nearest living heirs. The estate is supposed
TO be valued at $50, 600, 900, and is in money and
real estate
Over one hundred years ago Nicholas Churchill
came to Newfoundland, and engaged in the seal
andTcod fisheries. He was very prosperous, and
invested his surplus earnings in real estate in
England, and also in Newfoundland. At his
DEATH which occurred about thirty years ago,
he left all of his property, amounting to some
$lO 0OO 900 or $l2 900 OOO to his daughter, Eliza
beth Churchill, a whimsical lady living in Eng
land Although she had many suitors for her
hand, Elizabeth would accept none of them, and
lived and died without marrying Many curious
stories of eccentric habits are told. She was a
good business woman, and added much to the
property left by her father During the latter
years or her life she was an invalid but retained
her mental faculties to the last She Gied in
1876, at the age lO4 years. AS she left no will
and as she was supposed to be without living
relatives, it was thought that the vast property
would revert to the crown.
After several years an advertisement came to
Mr.. Mulby, and ne at once began to make inves
tigation. 1t took some time to establish tho
proofs but he thinks he has made out a clear
case. Mrs Mulby, the mother of the claimant
was niece to Nicholas Churchill, and cousin to
Elizabeth, who lately died. Church records
have been searched, and dates and names copied
and arranged, so the American family have little
doubt of success. In this belief they are sup
ported by several lawyers in this city. Mr..
Mulby goes to Newfoundland to-day, and after
making brief call for family history, will depart
for England, from whence he expects to return,
bearing the $35, 900 which are waiting for
him He speaks of the task as a gigantic one,
but thinks the money worth the effort
There are eight relatives of the ancient fisher
man living in this country, and they have dele
gated Mr.. Muby to look after their joint inter
ests The heir apparent and representative of
the claimants is q tall, dark man, with even
features, black hair and very heavy black
mustache He was born in this country and is
thirty six years Of age.

DIR. T. D. CRoTHERs does not believe that
ebriety, but that it is physical disease, and
must be reached by both physical and psych-
ical treatment; that all methods must be along
the line of natural law, and include all means,
both physical and spiritual that can build up
and strengthen the entire man. He cites nu-
merous instances to prove his point that spir-
itual means are only valuable as they are used
with other means. DR.. Crothers has discov-
cred nothing new as to the appetites or the
spiritual nature of man. Inebriety is mat
ter of heredity; it is also matter of habit.
There is no use in citing instances to show
that consistent Christian life of faith and
prayer will not be mighty force in any indi-
vidual in overcoming inebriety, or any other
kind of intemperance. 1T is contrary to com
mon sense and observation. Spiritual means
have a value in themselves, or they could have
mono when used in connection with restraint,
with good feeding, with pleasant occupation
of mind and body. Spiritual means have
saved the young from the temptations of inc
briefly. They do not lose their force with the
occasional tippler Or the chronic drunkard.
Prayer, even by its reflex influence, and faith
in the power that ordained man for the proper
use and enjoyment of his body and its appe-
titles, can never cease to be a power unto
righteousness; and any doctrine by any doc
tor, Of either divinity or medicine, that teaches
