Certain causes produce poverty,

The man having no property, trade
or practical education, who murrics
IN early life u woman in the same con-
dltlon as himself, and raises IL dozen
children, should naturally expect to
remain poor all his life, and to make
a liberal contribution to the number
OF destitute and miserable. Ii he
meets with IN accident, falls sick or
becomes dissipated, he and his family
must necessarily be supported 10y pri-
yate charity or by the means ut tho

gentleman who visited most OF tho
houses in one OF the poorest streets in
London found that the families aver
aged seven in number, that the heads
OF these families hnd no means when
they were married, and that few OF
them had any regular occupation.
Most OF them We're addicted to the use
OF grog and tobacco when they could

Tho NIaratlas Style Of Whist
Playing.

The correspondent of Bombay
paper says that the Marathas play o
game very similar to whist, nnd this
game, with notifications, is played in
many parts OF native India. The
game is called kote pisene, and is
played by four players. A Marathas
whist player deals the wrong way
round, and in this order the cards arc
afterward played. He first gives four
cards at once to each player. Tho
one on his right looks ut his cards,
and then names the trump. The deal
er again gives four cards to each, and
then, looking at his own cards, de.
termnes whether to turn up or not
turn up single round. Whether he
does this or not, he deals the round,
and again deal: four cards to each.
Each playernow has his thirteen cards.
The game is played us in whist; the
call for trumps is not used, but the
writer believes that u player may ask
his partner which is his strong suit.
The object OF each player is so to man.
age his trlmps as to bring in his long
suit. Whether the game is purely
native one, or whether it is a moditf-
cation OF whist, the writer appears un.
able to decide.

There's a plot OF ground in Wethersfield,
Where the grass grows rank and tall;
place OF dread to childish hearts
When evening seadowss fall;
The voice is hushed-the laugh is mute:
!fe passed with quickened tread
This little plot Of Gods green earth,
Where sleep the convict dead.
How many sons that promised fair
In boyhood's earthly time,
Lie stranded here-poor battered hulks-
On the wreck strewn shores OF crime!
But the little mounds that dot the field,
And the grass that DER them grows,
Nay cover hearts more sinned against
Than shining. ah! who knows?
God help the many anxious ones,
In near and far. off homes,
Who wait with eager wistfulness
For him who never comes!
. m&y they in their stormy lives
Have done some deed OF love,
That has balanced all their errors

Death Of an American Outcast.

Fanny Lear died the other day in
Europe, an outcast. The N. Y. Her.
aid tells this story OF whatit calls her
romance: ~.
"Fanny Lear was the daughter of
Dr. Ety.. protestant clergyman of
Connecticut. man of some distinc.
tion i'll science and letters. Ii she had
gone wrong early in life it was because
she had been left too much to a hot.
tempered, blgoted aud narrow-miuded
mother, who had been taught the doc
trines ofpassive obedience with a thick
stick. Her daughter, however, had
been we'll schooled and had learned
French, Latin and music.
"I1er romance in life was in connec-
ton with tho Grand Duke Nicholas
Constantinovich, nephew OF the emper-
or OF all the Russians, whom she met
ut st. Petersburg. Her appearance
then must have been very fascinating,
from the following description:
Zone night in. the winter of 1871
there was n masked ball ut the Opera
house OF st. Petersburg. Among the
company present was an American
girl OF extraordinary beauty. She had
dark hair in great plofusion, and an
imperial sort OF forehead, broad, open
and white as ivory. Her dark eyes
flashed under her loug lashes, like dia-
monds, and were all aglow with wit
and kindness. The nose was firm, vet
OF that delicate aquilinc which denotes
resolution and courage. The mouth
was wondrously full and soft, the up
per lip small and formed liked q bow.
Her teeth were as living pearls, and
her complexion dazzingly ia,r. Little
feet, small hands, and taper fingers, q
figure such as IL furry III. .ht cnvy-such
is the description of the American
beauty who OH that night stole the
heart OF the Granu Duke Nicholas of
Russia.
"A sod story of his arrest on a
charge OF stealing jewelry, and subse-
quent banishment to the Caucasus,
also caused the expulsion OF Fanny
Lear from Russia. For some time
after Fanny Lear resided in France,
where she again got into troublcin the
followingmanner: About eleven years
ago book was published in Paris
which caused a decided sensation. 1t
was called 'Rc DOMAIN dune Ameri-
caine Ell Russic,' and was written by
Miss Hattie Blackford, better known
as Fanny Lear Init the authoress,
aided by some hack writer on the
boulevards, related her amoro,ls adj
ventures with n person whom she de-
lighted to call the 'G. d. and whom
the Almanach de Gotha called the
Grand Duke Nicholas Constantine
vicl,, nethew of the then rcigning Car,
and for this the author,ss was expell-
ed from Paris, and her low vict ori;.
with Russian horses were seell no moro

! Al the general convention Of the Kniehts
Q! Labor at Cleveland, General Master
Workman Powderly in an address referred
TO the order and its remarkable growth, its
strikes and boycotts. He advised calm.
mess and judiciousness In all the actions oi
the delegates. Standing committees were
then appointed on laws, strikes, boycotts
and tho relation Of the order to all other
orders.
In his address Powdsrly said: The mul.
Nplicity Of strikes that. have occurred in
the last six months havs greatly lowered
our order in tho public estimation. OF
course n great many strikes are attribut-
ed to VI with which We should. not be cred

said:

rtioa Of our assemblies II due to poor or.
Eanization. 1t is not the fault oil either Mr..
Powderly or the executive board. Inmak-
ing appointments they must rely upon the
Recommendation Of tho district assem-.
blies. They cannot know all the men rec.
commended and appointed. A few weeks
ago in one city met an organizer who was
under the influence Of liquor. He told me
he was going to institute an assembly Of
five hundred striking Polacks and
Hungarians. This is against the rules oi

replied that he held q commission AZ or

Him he could institute tho assembly, but 1t
would never receive q charter. We need

these positions. 1t would make hard feel
ings to ask for their commissi ons, 90 It ID
proposed to make them ante up from the
chief organizer down. This can be done
by Mr.. Powderly alone, by the executive
board under instructions from the general
assembly. The best way is the latter, and

Smith Merritt, the 16-year-old son of Capt.
A. FL. Merritt of No. 2S4 Williams street.
took the gun and accidentally discharged
it, the bullet striking the fourteen ear-son
of Stephen A. Peterson, living at the corner
OF Pennsylvania avenue and De Bow street.
The ball went into the right hip aud
through the groin and lower part of the
body.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Peterson. the
boys father, went to police headquarters
and reported that his boy had been shot.
Officer Larson arrested young Merritt, who
was taken to the county Jail. A little later
Mrs. Merritt, whose husband is an assist
ant engineer on the staff OF Gen. Anderson
of the Northern Pacific road, went to d.
ID. Lambie, the druggist, and pleaded to
have something done for her boy. She
tainted as she entered the store. Mr..
Lambie put up 81, 600 bail for him, and he
was released, his case in the municipal
court being continued until to-day, when a
full investigation will be made.
DE-. Fitzsimmons is attending the wounded
boy. The bullet has been probed for, but
is not yet found. 1t is thought he will live
unless, unfortunately, blood poisoning sets
in. The bullet was used in a 22-calibre
target rifle. Last night young Peterson
rested easily.

THE GREAEaUXURY.
Ene EEOt weather Makes a Strong
pull on the ice EEOuSpS

pull on the ice Houses.
According to the statement of an ice
dealer about 400 tons of ice have been used
daily in ST. Paul during the recent hot sea-
son. ''WelI should say business was
rushing" he said when approached by a
GLOBE reporter. 1--WE are selling more than
twice as much ice daily as we did week
ago. All our customers have increased
their orders and a great many new ones
want ice delivered for the present. But
we refuse all new orders and so do the
other ice companies. | don't know where
they manage to get it I'm sure. We can't
afford to bother with any customers but
those who take it regularly during the
whole season. We have our routes all
and wouldn't pay. We don't care for Gus
for two or three months even. Nearly
every family in the city outside of the
poorer and laboring classes take ice. The
majority take twenty-five pounds day at
81 month but good many of the rich
families take from one to four hundred
pounds daily. We have lots of kicking this
weather from people who think they amt
getting enough or something else. Our
wagons start out at $3.50 in the morning
and when ice is delivered, it melts rapidly
unless taken care of. Our best customers
are the hotels, then the butcher shops, res
taurants and saloons. The supply in st.
Paul is liable to run short this year. Very
few here have private ice houses as many
do in Minneapolis. This kind of weather
brings the same rush in our business that
the Fourth Of July does in excursions" and

Capt. Brisette is reaching out for the nom-

for it. His candidacy is strong one, as
there is probably not man in
tile city better known than he. IS,
and during his residence in st. Paul
of more than thirty years, he has
been connected with the detective and po-
lice depaftment. He will undoubtedly
carry the French element unanimously and
be is considered very solid with the bust
ness men in the city, who are reported to
look with high degree of favor upon his
candidacy. Sheriff Richter announces that
he wants to retain the office another term
and then he will be willing to surrender it
to whoever can get it. That he will make
a hard fight for it, is certain, and it is re-
ported that he has already engineered
combinations that will do a great
deal towards placing the plum
i'll his hand. There is a man in his Office as
deputy. who it is claimed is making adj
vances toward capturing the nomination,
He is Charles E. Chapel, and it is claimed
that he can count OH as many friends among

Chapel has not yet publicly announced him
self as candidate, but he has his eyes
turned towards the goal and is making a
quiet effort to reach it.
ANTI-LIQUOR CONVENTION.
To-day the Prohibtionists meet in Market
hall at II O'clock to make party nominations
for state officers. 1t is expected
that between 300 and 800 dele
gates will be present from different
parts of the state and there is a degree of
confidence felt among members of the party
that their strength will enable them to
make fight next fall with a fair POSSIBLE
ity of winning point or two. Rev. A. b.
Leonard. the well-known prohibitionist of
Ohio, will be present and address the con-
vention, and Rev. w. w. Satterlee of
Minneapolis, prominent worker in the
prohibition field, will also take a hand in
the proceedings. There is dream in the
minds of the leaders of the party that they
can form an alliance with the labor organi-
cations, and by recognizing them in max
ing their nominations, can materially in
crease their power throughout the
state. They say that they will make
the hottest campaign that the party has
ever made in the state. The turn cannot
correctly be called on the nominations, but
it is well-known fact that w. w. Satter-
lee would like the gubernatorial chair, and
DIR. l.. ". Denton of Minneapolis is re-
ported as being anxious to catch the same
fly. In the evening a mass meeting in the

to make this recommendation to the coun-

that Clerk Bryant has been political
