The PrOllibitionists in New York.

n Tuesdays dispatch from New York
Says: For nearly three hours last night
the county prohibition convention sat in
Lyric Hall and listened to speeches and
glees, adopted Il platform and then went
home without putting Il man in nomina-
ton ior office.
Joseph ]. Bogardus became temporary
chairman On taking the chair Bogardus
made speech which reused the conven.
tion to high pitch OF enthusiasm. lie
said the convention had been called to dc.
wise means to purify the politics Of the city.
This city, he said, is governed by men who
are Inscriptions and DESTROYS only OF per-
sonal gain. 1t is time men OF integrity, re-
responsibility and men opposed to the
dominant power should be chosen to office.
Its nominating conventions have their
work cut out in the liquor saloons. 1t
follows that the influence Of the saloons
must follow the nominees into Office 1t is
time this was stopped. The front men OF
ool" pat t'Cs tAIlN 81 NCA. ItIc Olu piAl
are afraid to overthrow the liquor traffic.
Editor Funk, of the I'oirr, said he re-
turned from California, Sunday, and there
was more enthusiasm there than here.
The temperance question was surely fore
ing itself into politics. He read dispatch
from Texas that prohibition ticket would
be put in the field there. The truth was
that the prohibitionists in the South were
tired OF Democratic tricks, Just as the
Prohibitionists OF the North were tired o
the Republican tricks The demand now
was for a new party that would win the
best men OF both the old parties. rhi.
sentiment was loudly cheered.

The Chiefs Prayer.

4 gentleman who recently visited the
Piegan agency and witnessed the Sun
dance, impaired to a Tribune reporter a
few Of the many pcculiarities Of the tribe,
which will bear repetition in these columns.
Their God is supposed to be a big lat man,
and their prayers and supplications are that
the: may grow fat also. 10 oar inform
ant, the war.chief, Big Nose, father OF
Prince Dirty Shirt, offered up prayer
that he might become big, heap fat, that
his wife, children, horses and COWS might
also share in the blessing, and also that
everybody might get fat.
1t is Il known fact that a Pieyan Indian
IS supremely happy when his stomach is
full, and it is probably that their God was
suggested to them by their desire to always
have that part OF their anatomy Stuffed

land, oday filed his answer to the bill re.
Gently filed by j. Harris Rogers against
Attorney. General Garland, Senator Harris
and others for the settlement OF the Pan
Electric Telephone Company's affairs.
Garland denies in detail every material
statement in the bill, and calls attention
to the scandalous and i,npertinent matter
in the bill. lie says he must decline to
answer such portions, unless the Court d.
reefs him to do so. In the course of his
answer he says he became impressed with
the apparent usefulness OF the invention,
and on February IS, 1883, attended a meet
ing OF persons interested at the residence
OF the complainant. After relating the cir
cumstanccs Of its working and the making
Of the contract, Garland says that the com.
plainant instead OF devoting himself to the
perfection Of the invention as by contract
he was bound to do sold his interests In
the patent in violation Of said contract and
against the interests OF the company
That finding he could not persuade defend.
ants to accede to his wishes, he procured
many false and malicious statements to be
published in the public press Of the county
both as to defendants and as to the business
OF the company.

RUSSIA AND GERMANY.
p,,sian Press Making Bitter Attacks
OH the German Race.

BERLIN, August II. - The Empress
Augusta joined the Emperor at Babetsburg
m his way hi,her from Potsdam. The EN-.
,sror has already resumed his regular
.,ork on the business OF the State. Princess
Frederick Charles has returned to Potsdan,.
The .Vo,th German Gazette, welcoming
,he Emperor ON his return, says: The
sincerity OF Emperor Williams peace pol.
ry merits the thanks OF Europe
The proposed meeting between Prince
Bismarck and NJ. DE Giers, Russian Min.
lister for Foreign Affairs, has not yet been
definitely arranged. NJ. DE Giers will re.
main i'll Franzensburg for three weeks.
The Russian press persists in maintain.
ins that the recent meetings between the
German and Austrian Emperors signify
a closer approachment between Germany
and Austria, and relative estrange,nent
between those Powers and Russia. The
newspapers OF ST. Petersburg and Moscow
have been very hostile to Germany, and
devote much space To attacks ON the whole
German race. Military circles in Berlin
are indignant over the conduct Of Russian
officers in st. Petersburg in recently ban
quoting Paul de Renleder, the great French
advocate in Russia of Il war for revenge
against Germany. .At one banquet a
rrenchman delivered a speech advocating
a Franco.Russian alliance against Ger.
many. The speech was loudly cheered by
Russians. The military attache OF the
German Embassy at st. Petersburg has
not been invited to be present at the Rus.
sian military maneuvers at Warsay.

r'ns to the report that Lord Randolph
churchill is preparing an Irish measure,

Gus task. The nature of thu local govern

convention at Chicago. But is quite GER

The Afghan Frontier Question.

L">M'>, August lb.--'rhe cabinet has
decided to recall the Afghan commission
at the earliest date possible, whether the
dclibcration is finished or not. The Stand
ard, referring to this decision, says it will
cause unqualified satisfaction to both Eng
land and India. The truth is We were
weary OF attempts to arrive at Il clear un-
dcrstandiny OF the frontier BY negotiation
witt. Russia
L">nn>, August y. - The Pail Mall
Gazette says it is glad the Afghan com
mission has been recalled as it will hasten
the settlement oi the question of the own
ership Of khomhia, Which Russia claims
by direct negotiations between London and
st. Petersburg.
The St. James Gazette says the question
is as far from settlement as it was five
months ago. Russia claims khombia and
the .Afghans refuse to give it up. \ con-
t'ict is likely to occur At any moment. The
Gazette says it rests with England to say
what it will and can do to prevent its allies
from being plundered. The task of Lord
lddesleigh, foreign secretary, will be easier
when he is relieved of this useless and en-
barrassine commission.
The Irish convention met in Chicago
Thursday. The convention resolved that
the temporary organization be made per-
manent. Resolutions were passed by the
convention, expressing its approval of the
course pursued by Parnell and his a>so-
ciates, and gratitude to the English, Scotch
and Welsh democracy for support given
to Gladstone, and thanking the American
people and press for their generous sup.
port of the Irish cause.

AGAINST HER WILL.
A Sin Which Led to the Arrest OF an AL.
legged Maine Doctor.

LAWRENCE, Mass, Aug. IL.
For the past two weeks an alleged doctor,
calling himself Buckskin Saw, has been ad-
vertising extensively cures for all sorts of
diseases. Tuesday night the city marshal of
Lawrence found him occupying the same
apartment with twelve-year-old girl whom
he brought to Lawrence with him. A search
of the doctor found pair of steel knuckles
and diploma purporting to have been is
sued in the Maine Electrical Medical Infirm-
ary in 1888. The doctor claimed to be 81
years old and that he had practised in Ken

was John Bird of Gloucester, and that her
neither sent her to Lawrence with the doctor
against her will. She confessed to criminal
i .tercourse. The doctor was arraigned in

invitation was made to others to come into
the inspection.
The noon service was dedicatiop-to ded-
cate all to the Lord to make full surrender
of self to God, and to be His fully, His now, =,
His eternally. The afternoon was song
testimony, and the entire service of music
testimony was rendered in solo, followed

over 100 persons present
The work of knocking out the blocks was
begun at $50. After these were out some
thing seemed to hold the great vessel. Two
heavy battering rams and three powerful
screws were used and still she did not stir.
II looked like postponement at a cost OF
several hundred dollars to the builder. A
rigger suggested tlat the rigging be shook
out. A rope was passed around the jib-stay
and attached to the bowsprit and then the
bowsprit was set to spriDging. The rigging
of the masts was shaken. The rams and
screws combined with this new force and the
cry was raised of "there she goes" and off
she did go in fine style.
