dress asking all labor and trade organiza-

ment of women. In conclusion they say:
We ask you to do all in your power for the
cause of prohibition, which is pre-eminent-
ly your cause. With the dram shop and its
tendisb temptations overthrown, what might
you not attain of that self-mastery which is
the first condition OF success, and what might
you nDt achieve of protection and happiness
ID these homes which are the hearts sure
resting places. Your ballots hold the bal
ance of power in this land Of the worlds
hope. WO ask those of you who are voters to
cast your votes only for such measures and
such men as are solemnly committed to the
the prohibition of every brewery, distillery
and dram shop in the nation, and that wo-
men may come to the rescue in this great
emergency, and also, as an a3t of
Justice toward those who have the
most sacred claim on your protection, we
hope that you may see your way clear to cast
your ballots only for such measures and
for such meh as are pledged to the fran
chisement of women. In all this, We speak
to you as those who firmly believe that the
coming Christ's kingdom on earth means
brotherhood. We urge you with sisterly
earnestness and affection to make the New
Testament your text book of political econ
omy, and to join Us in the daily study of His
blessed words, "whO spoke as man never
spoke" His pierced hand is lifting up this
sorrowful, benighted world into the light of
God. In earnest sympathy let US go fol-
ward to work out his golden precepts into
the worlds life and law by making first of
all his law and life our own. Yours for God
and home In every land"

to-day tried for the murder of Louis
Parker at the Keg saloon on Oct. l of
last year and acquitted. One ofthe prin-
cipal witnesses for the defense was Viii
liam Penfeld, who is now under indict-

of English law and the merits of the
queen. Riley raised a cane to strike
Parker, which the latter took away from
him, and then proceeded to administer a
severe beating to Riley. Both parties
left the saloon and returned shortly after
wards, Parker to apologize to Riley and
Riley with a pistol in his hand to kill

not know of Parker's good intentions,
and furthermore, that the pistol was dis
charged accidentally.

w. Parker, of whom mention was made

and strengthen the belief entertained by
that the headless body was none
other than that Of Parker. 1t is probable
that an attempt will be made to ascertain
something further in regard to this mat

beyond a doubt that the body was hat

A specnlator Fleeoad.

BUFFALO, Jan. Ca sensational cpl
sode disturbed the dullness of speculation
in the bucket-shops to-day. w. G.
Brown, it was rumored, had opened his
mail this morning, taken out drafts and
checks amounting to $4,000 belonging to
J. G. Allen, cashed them at the Third
National bank, and skipped. Brown is a
broker, and he is a partner of AL Fred
ericks, they being correspondents of a
Chicago house. Together they have
been in the grain and oil brokerage bust
ness for five weeks. One of their GUS
TONERS was j. G. Allen, who sent them
orders whenever he felt like specializing
on his own account. Said Mr.. Allen: Il
gave them orders to sell 300 shares of
stock and $4,000 bushels of grain last
week in Chicago. They did so, closing
out the deal at a profit of $1,000 to me.
The drafts came in this morning. In
stead of coming to me with the drafts,
they got the money and skipped. They
have also closed out a deal of mine with
out orders-a matter of 5000 barrels of
oil and $50 shares of stock. l hope they
haven't received money on that" Fred
ericks was arrested at $3.50 this afternoon.
He says he is innocent; that he gave the
money to Brown to be taken to Allen,
and that Brown fed to Canada.

that he had just met a gentleman
with a small bill against him which
he wished to pay, but hat he lacked
a dollar of the required mount and
would like to get it and that he would
''call around before night and hand it
back" In each instance he would re-
mark to the lady he addressed: ut is all
right your husband knows me- In this

Opposed to CONVICT Labor.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-On the open
ing of the senate to-day Mr.. Hale offered
the following resolution;
Resolved, That the. secretary of the
treasury be directed to forward to the
senate all papers in relation to the con
tract let to Brainard & Co, or to other
parties for work, or any part of the same,
of putting an additional story on the
Peoria, Ills, post office in 1885; also all
protests filed by labor leagues in relation
thereto; also n copy of the protest filed
by Messrs. Stnub & Co, of Buffalo, N.
Y, giving information that the work of
said contract would be performed by con-
vict labor, and hat consequently a CON
tractor who employed free labor could
not afford to compete for the work. In
offering the resolution, Mr.. Hale said
he was not prepared to believe,
without further information, that the
secretary of the treasury would let any
contract for work to be done on public
buildings in such a way that the work
would be performed by convict labor. He
(Hale) had received information of such a
character as made it desirable to asccr-
tain the facts in the case set forth in his
resolution. lie did not believe the con-
tracts for public work should be let to
employers Of convict labor, when there
was no lack of ordinary labor of the
country. He did not believe FREQ labor
should be put in competition with convict
labor. The resolution was agreed to.
A resolution was offered by Mr.. Mitch.
ell, of Oregon for reference to the commit
tee on foreign relations, and was so re-
ferrcd, calling on the secretary of state
for copies Of all correspondence between
the United States and Chinese govern
ment since the PRONUNCIATION OF our treaty
with China, having reference to the en-
forcement of treaty provisions.

Coinag

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-The house
committee on coinage to-day postponed
until the next meeting the consideration
Of all bills relating to the coinage of silver
dollars, The committee will then begin
the discussion of the different phases of
the question and dispose of them as rap
idly as the importance of the question
will allow. 1t was the general understand
ing Of the committee that the bill intro
duced by Chairman Bland to repeal that
portion of the act of June o, 1879, pro-
yiding for the exchange and redemption
of subsidiary coins for lawful money,
should be reported hvonbly. Final ac.
ton on the bill, however, was o taken,
as the committee thought it might lead
to the premature opening up of the silver
question in the house. All bills relating
to the trade dollar were referred to a sub
committee consisting of Representatives
IAnhan, McCrary and James, after which
adjournment was had.
