Vast sums of Money Moved without Loss.

CINCINNATI, May 24--Colonei L. Markbreit,
the assistant United States treasurer at this
place, to-day removed successfully the coin
an currency in his care, from the old postoffice
building at Fourth and Vine to the new quarters
on the second floor of the new governmen.
building at Fifth and Walnut streets. There
was some apprehension that the removal might
be attended with danger from daring robbers,
but the utmost care was taken to prevent loss.
The contract for removal was given to the
Adams Express Company, and was executed
with the strictest fidelity under the personal
superintendency of the assistant treasurer and
his officers. The work began at s A. NJ and was
completed at 4 p. NJ. One million dollars in
silver required ten wagon-loads The gold was
less troublesome, and the paper money. although
greater in volume than all the rest, was carried
in large trunk or box, in one wagon. Astrong
ing and unloading points, and armed men rode
on all the wagons. 1t is said the express com
pany was paid about 5000 for the work.

He Favors the Public with His Views Con-
corning Offensive Partisans.
PITTsBURG, May 24.-In an interview with the
Washington correspondent of the Pittsburg Post,
tonight, First Assistant Postmaster genera.
Hay said that in his Judgment the postmasters
and others subject to removal should be
divided into two classes, the first,
offensive partisans, and the second, negecting to
give attention to their duties. He gave his
definition of offensive partisan, 1t was ex-
pected that every postmaster should keep his
Office In a convenient place for the public,
in good condition, clean, and in all
respects place where people of all
kinds could go without being subjected to an
noyance If, on the contrary. a postmaster
should make his postoffice headquarters for loaf
ers to congregate, and in other ways offend the
people who called there for their mail, such a
man could properly be described as an offensive
partisan, and fit subject for removal The
next class embraced the postmasters who left
their Offices to attend political meetings, and
participate in campaigns to the neglect of their
duties. They could not, properly speaking, be
called offensive partisans but they Gerited dis
missal just the same.

Facts Which the Commissioners of Agri-
culture Desires to Secure.
WASHINGTON, May 24-Commissioner Col
man, being anxious to obtain all facts pertaining
to the dairy industry of the country, and par
ticularly respecting the manufacture of articles
designed as substitutes for pure butter, such as
oleomargarines bltterine, suine,. ps:roa and like
compounds, has prepared circular to manu-
facturers of dairy products, soliciting their aid
1t is his wish to place before Congress and the
country complete statement of the factory
product of cheese and butter, as well
as of their aduterated limitations, and
he suggests the propriety Of making monthly
records of the work of each manufactory, in or
der that returns may be obtained more readily
for such time as may be deemed best to aggre
gate the results. October" he says, being the
month when cheese making declines, it may be
decided to have all the returns of butter and
cheese production terminate then, allowing six
months for the dairy season. This would better
determine the comparative production of one
State with another, in the summer months
the conditions of food will be more uniform, the
cows consuming alike the natural grasses

THE BUFFALO DEMOCRATS.

The Saloon-Keepers Who Came to See
Cleveland, and How They Were Received.
Special to the Indianapolis Journa
WAsHINGToN, May 24-From time to time
we have heard of stories of discomfort among
the Buffalo Democracy, growing out of the fact
that the President has thus far ignored his old
associates. A couple of weeks ago two Buffalo
saloon keepers with whom the President was
quite familiar in the days gone by, came to
Washington. They were very cordially received,
and were even taken out behind the Presidents
seal brown team The reason for the visit and
the extended courtesies have never been
understood until now. 1t is learned that one of
the gentlemen had an idea that he would like
to be an Indian agent in western New York. He
wrote the President, received no reply, and got
mad. Then he came to Washington. He called
upon the President at once and was so aston
ished at the reception which he received
that he. forgot all about the Indian
agency and made no further application for it.
He went home and told the "boys," and now he
swears by the President.
John NJ Wiley of Buffalo. who has always
been good friend to Grover Cleveland, is here
He was asked to-day how the Democrats in
Buffalo like being snubbed. Wiley replied, with
a lofty air: Buffalo has the President That
is all she wants. We ask for nothing else, and
expect to get nothing. There is the most per-
feet harmony in the party"-then he winked-
sand / do not think Buffalo man would take a
place if it offered to him." BY this it will be
seen that the talk of dssension in the Demo
cratic party in New York State is as absurd as
similar stories which have preceded it.

Dr. Mcdonald, the chief of the money order di-

system, and he has cause. The fact re-
mains. however. that the people who
have patronized the money order depart
ment have been robbed - there is
money. Mr. Conger, the city postmaster here,
referring to this subject said to-day: There
is no doubt whatever that 95 per cent of this
money could be returned to its rightful owners
if proper effort to find them should be made,
but as it is we have absolutely no discretion in
the matter, and if the payee cannot be found we
are compelled to turn the money over to the

CLOTHING STORE,
MOTHER JOSEPHINE CHARLES.
The Life and Career of Distinguished
Colored Woman in New Orleans.

New ORLEANS, May 90 Yesterday witnessed
the in.erment in the tomb of the order. at the
old St Louis Cemetery, of distinguished
.coloyed woman - Mother Josephine Charles,
founder of the Roman Catholic order of the
Sisters of the Holy Family. Josephine was the
daughter of German father and and free
mulatto woman, born in this city in 1916.
She grew up beautiful woman, eager
to learn and evincing strong traits of
character, with an earnest religious in
clinaticn, and she received the best education
allowed to the people of her race and caste
Early in life she found delight in doing good,
feeding the poor and teaching the catechism to
the neglected colored children. She was won't
to attend the religious ceremonies at the Car
melite Convent. She found two free colored
girls mbued with the same spirit and the three
determined TO begin carrying out their aims,
mammoth undertaking for three weak women.
Josephine Charles Harriet DeLisle and Juliet
Gande vowed to devote all they had of earthly
means to establish an order for the education
OF young ladies of color. and the succor
and relief of poor helpless, old coored
people and orphans. Those were slavery days.
The first work undertaken by the little
religious community was the teaching of poor
slave children, and, encouraged by the Catholic
clergy, although breakers of the statute law, the
famous black code making their labors crime,
they accomplished great deal. convent was
established on Chartres street. Many sisters
were enrolled who assumed the habit of the Sis
ters of Charity Since the the order,
through Josephine Charles's management and
excellent discipline, has been established on
substs4ltial basis The sisters, in 1880, estab-
lished mother house in New
Orleans, between Royal and Bourbon
streets near the Cathedral, and on the historic
site of the old Orleans 1heater. Here postulants
for the ssterhood are received and here a Chris
tian education is given to the poor colored girls
Josephine did not confne her work to the house
over which she presided. Three years after
opening the house Chartres street, she
founded branch at Opelousas. In 1875 she
opened home for aged and infrm colored
people on st. Bernard, between Villere
and Marais streets. On January o.
1879 she instituted an orphan asylum for colored
girls at the corner of Tonti and Hospital
streets She increased the order constantly by
her teaching and her example, and accomplished
a great work of benefit for the colored people
Her labors are all the more wonderful and cred
liable when it is known that for number Of
years her eyesight had been failing, and that for
the last six years she was stone blind From her
couch of pain she continued the direction of the
affairs of the order. She died at 10 o'clock
Wednesday, and yesterday was buried with all
the honors of saint, in the presence of thou
sands of earnest mourners.

possibility, and also for cowardice and deception
in refusing to call the disease by its right name
after its true nature had been established. The
article is noteworthy as being the first in which
any paper of influence has acknowledged the
existence of true cholera in Spain. A dscour-
aging feature of the epidemic is reported in the
finding by the sanitary authorities OF several
towns where as many as 100 cases OF cholera
exist, but which have been concealed
by the town authorities to avoid loss
of business and the expense of disinfection
and proper medical care. The latest
report from Alcira shows that during the first
half of May there were seventy one suspicious
cases in population of 900, and that of these
thirty died. fifteen recovered and twenty six
remain ILL Five thousand four hundred persons
have been inoculated, and of these but seven
have had choleraic attacks. These seven per-
sons were moreover taken i'll within thirteen
had full time to act its part, and deaths of
lnoculated patients have yet occurred.
The report shows one cholera case for each
165 uninoculated persons, and but one case to
each 71O inoculated persons Moreover, a death
rate of one in 1853 among the former, as against
no deaths among the latter. This showing is,
however, more than fair to DIR. Ferran,
as 1t supposes all the inoculations
made on May /, which is not the
case, and leaves out of account the fact that the
most cautious and well to do are most apt to
avail themselves of such precautions, while. the
death rate is largest amcng the opposite class.
The Minister of the Interior has announced that
commission of eminent physicians would soon
be appointed by the government to investigate
DR.. Ferran's discoveries and the preventive
value of his system of incubation. Till this
report can be prepared granting state money to
DR.. Ferran seemed inadvisable. The govern
ment would however, gladly defray DR.. Fer
rams expenses in India if he chose to study the
the true cholera there Many Spanish physi-
clans express dstrust of DIR. Ferran's discovery.
They call him an unbalanced enthusiast, but the
weight of public opinion, shown by the news
papers, inclines to faith in his inoculcations
