NEW YORK, Feb. flames d. Fish has
just returned to Auburn state prison after
mis- five days of vacation. He has had a
high old time while here, quite after the
manner of his life when prosperous through
the ruinatiOn of Gen. Grant and others. He
was a heavy banker at day and light
Toysterer at night He was brought TO
town ostensibly to testify in a civil suit
growing out Of the Grant-Ward swindles,
but as the case was not ready for trial and
he goes back 10 prison without having been
put on the stand. the suspicion is that the
occasion was indulgently made to give him
an outing. Once before he was in the city,
and for nine DAYS, while testifying daily in
court, was fully privileged to enjoy himself
the rest of the time. The rumors then were
that he gathered some of his former gay
companions and
RESUMED THE JoLLITY
that had been his characteristic in pros
perity. But his dOings were carefully
guarded against exposure. The second
visit has been more careless. No secret was
made of his absences from the Murray Hill
hotel, in which he and his two guardian
officers had their quarters. One of his ex-
ploits. that Of dining sumptuOusly at an
inn overlooking the tomb of Grant, the vic
tim of his and Wards crimes, was an
entirely unbidden carOusal, during which
he drank full quart of champagne. Other
acts of his strange outing have required
trouble and some investigation to get the
facts. He spent one outing in Mystic flats,
which belonged 10 him, and in which,
handily across the street from the Casino,
where he was privileged stOckholder, he
maintained a headquarters of dissipation
and orgy. -Four actresses notorious in con-
nection with burlesque, were driven TO this
house in carriages after the stage duties
were done for that evening, and then the
coming and going of

proved that bountlful repast was being
served from a restaurant of the neighbOr-
hood. Another evening was spent in the
entertainment of party of male friends at
his hotel. where he spent money in reckless
disregard of the claim that he was impov-
erished. He went to some theater nearly
every evening, always sitting behind the
drapery of private box, while only his
companions were visible. His taste theat-
rically was not changed from the old times,
| for his choices were comic opera and bur
lesque. although legitimate theatricalS

convict was accompanied by keeper from
Auburn, and two detectives were employed
to make sure against an escape, but his
movements were in no wise restricted, and
the cost of his journey must have been very
heavy. He is to come again in two weeks,
and larger rooms at the hotel have already
been bespoken.

TuE CARNIvAL GOES on.

The temperature iof the weather has no
effect on the carnival proceedings. 1t
makes no difference whether the thermome-
ter is thirty degrees above zero or thirty
degrees below, the carnival program is
going to be carried out to the letter and
made splendid success. The few croak-
ers here and there who predict that the
rising mercury is going to abate the carni-
val enthusiasm know nothing of the stuff
of which our people are made. These
same croakers predicted that when on the
first day the thermometer jumped
down to thirty below that the
carnival would fzzle out. and yet
in spite of their croaking it went on and
grew in proportions as it went. And the
same results will follow their croaking at
the beginning of this week, only they will
be better The parade this afternoon, typi-
flying the primitive modes of travel, will be
one of the most entertaining features of
the carnival that has yet been given, while
the display of fireworks tonight at the
palace grounds will be unusually fine. And
as the week progresses the attractions OF
each day will be better than the day before
until eliminating in the most magnificent
display of the entire carnival program on
Friday and Friday evening.

a SECOND REPIrISE


Ever since his repulse in an effort to take
the ice palace last Thursday night the Fire
King has been nursing his wrath with the
determination to wipe out the stain of de-
feat. Conscious of the prowess of the Ice
King, the fiery monarch is wise enough not
to repeat an open assault on the castle, and
is consequently compelled to resort 10 other
methods to accomplish his revenge. 1t is
evident that he has returned 10 his own
country and has set i'm motion all the influ-
ences which could be brought TO bear TO Sc
cure the accomplishment of his purpose.
He has propitiated Sol, the god of
heat and has enlisted his serv-
ices. For two days the concentrated
armies of Sol have been making vigorous
assault on the castle of BoREALIS. The sun
rays have poured down in legions, their
darts and javelins heated with uncommon
wrath, and have furiOusly assailed the
stronghold of the Ice King. A continuous
bombardment has been kept up. But the
brave old monarch of the North winds has
made grand resistance. He shows no
signs of surrender. His castle walls are
still intact One and another of his garri-
son and defenders have fallen, but still he
holds his post and is as defiant as
ever The only losses that the Ice King
has suffered so far have been confined
to the outposts and the picket lines The
squadron placed on guard at the Wabasha
bridge, to prevent an enemy from crossing
at that point, by an unfortunate confusion
arising from a sudden attack of the Fire
Kings hirelings, met with a severe loss.
The Buffalo brigade mistook the Gladiator
corps for legion of the enemy's forces and
made dash at them, and the Gladiator's 5
right was completely annihilated before the
error was discovered. The Chicago girl,
who had been stationed on Wabasha near
Fourth street. with the view of using her
foot to blockade the street in case the
enemy advanced in that direction, fell
while making gallant defense against
an assault of the Fire Kings minions.
She died with her boots ON, and a
monument TO her memory will be
erected in Lincoln park next summer
The Maid of Saragossa, who had established
field hospital in front of the American
house, unfortunately lost her head by the
last shot which the enemy fired yesterday
The Greek Slave, who has been the gallant
defender of the castles outer entrance, re-
ceived a slight wound, but fortunately not
serious enough 10 disable this courageous
defender of the Ice Kings palace. Other
wise the Ice Kings ranks are unbroken and
undismayed. The garrison is inspired with
the courage of its dauntless old monarch,
and are determined to repulse the Fire
King and his allies in their second assault,
if it takes all winter to do it.

MoREANTI-CHINEsE AGITATION


When in the struggle for existence which
wages as fiercely i'm the scantily populated
far West as it does in the more thickly
settled Eastern centers, new element is
introduced which renders the contest all but
hopeless. il is human nature for the COM
batants to do everything in their power TO
remove the disturbing factor. Thus it is
that with the introduction of Chinese labor
on the Pacific coast occurred first the pro-
tests and then the organized opposition
of the labor element against form
of competition which could not in the
nature of things be otherwise than ruinous
Here, so far from the scene of the trouble.
we can hardly form an adequate idea of
the causes upon which is founded the deep
rooted prejudice to the Chinese, but we do
understand the injurious effect upon honest
labor of the employment of convicts. The
cases, while not really parallel, are suffi-
ciently analogous TO enable the anti
Chinese agitation to be in a meas
ure understood. In the demonstration
made yesterday at Seattle there was
an indication of the desperate straits TO
which the workingmen, with ranks already
overcrowded. had been reduced by the
cheap imported labor. Wrought up to the
pitch that they were. it is matter of both
surprise and commentator that all acts of
real violence were refrained from. 1t
must be confessed, however, that resolute
ships captain with sturdy sailors directing
the nozzles of four pieces of hose against
an advancing crowd, ready at any moment
to drench the advancing rioters with
boiling water. Is a forcible incentive
to law and order. The agtators were wise
in adopting the discretion (which. under the
circumstance, stood them in better stead
than valor, and in paying, therefore, the
fare of the expelled Chinese TO San Fran
cisco. But, serious as the question is, it is
likely to become still more complicated by
the crowding into that city of Chinese, dis
carded by all other places. but still con-
stantly being smuggled into the country
Further governmental action may lessen the
evil. and if relief of any kind can be af-
fOrded it should be given before the problem
becomes still more difficult of solution.

Special to the Globe.
BOSTON, Feb. IA romantic story of
fashionable life in Boston Is disclosed by
the recent death of Isaac ID. Farnsworth.
who has left 500, 900 to Wellesley college
and $50, 900 for various philanthropic pur-
poses. The manner in which he acquired
the bulk of his fortune has never been gen.
crafty known. Twenty-Five years ago,
when Mr.. Farnsworth was a bachelor of
so, he lived in a boarding house in retired
Mt. Vernon street on the slope of
Beacon hill. The widowed lady and
her widowed daughter who kept the
house had among their dodgers Paschal p.
Page, a rich retired merchant of the old
Boston school. He was ts4Sn troubled with
physical infrmities which made him at
times eccentric and exacting, but his
natural good qualities won the good will of
all the house. Mr.. Farnsworth was
especially attentive To the comfort OF the
old gentleman, and spent good deal of
time In looking after his investments. In
consequence, when the old merchant died,
he bequeathed to Mr.. FarnswOrth over
$500, 900 flpm his large fortune. Mr..
FamswOrth made good use of his suddenly
acquired wealth, which he largely increased.
He spent thousands of dollars in philan-
thropic schemes, and particularly in the
education of
NUMBER OF YOUNG GIRLS,
and at his death he devised large part of
his estate to the higher education of young
women. By a strange chance among the
other boarders in the house was Abraham
Jackson, descendant of an old Plymouth
family, Harvard graduate and brilliant
lawyer, then nearly so years old. He trans
acted good deal of trust business. and so
highly was he esteemed that he was COM
monty spoken of as Honest Abraham
Jackson" His manner of life was ex-
tremely simple, and he had absolutely no
vices. One day the community was
startled by the news that ''HOn-
est Abraham" was a defaulter and
that he had been TObbing his
trust fund for YEARS. Widows and
orphans. his nearest relatives, and his
dearest friends, all were among his victims.
His fall made tremendous sensation in the
community. He denied all guilt in the face
of convincing proof, and many believed
that his mind was diseased. But he was
tried. convicted and served a ten-yearS'
sentence. Since his discharge at the age of
20, he has lived quietly, broken down in
mind and body. The mystery of where he
disposed of all the money will never be
known. He wept like a child when he
learned last week of the death of his former
| friend, who entered the avenue of fortune
and philanthropy while he took the down
ward road that led to felon's cell.

To the Editor of the Globe:
The magnetic needle of the compass in the
Northern hemisphere points 10 the north: if
the same compass is placed South of the equa-
tor. in what direction will the needle point.
New Richmond, Wis, Feb. 6. G.
The needle is always true to the pole in
whatever hemisphere it may be. 1t must be
remembered that the magnetic pole does
not correspond with the geographical pole
and consequently the needle does not point
10 the true north. The present position of
the magnetic pole is in the extreme north
of the North American continent, or, rather,
in the archipelago lying just north of the
main continent and is south of the North
pole.
