The Tonand County ". Q. IT. U.

The Holland County w. Cs Ts Us
 Nearly all, if not quite all, towns in Tol and County were represented at the annual meet ing of the county association of temperance workers, under the above name, in this village yesterday. Mrs. l. A. Fuller, of Holland, president, presided and Mrs. s. B. Forbes of Rockville, state president, was also present
 Mrs. Sprague gave an address of welcome in behalf of Stafford, and Mrs. H. M Adams. secretary and treasurer, responded. After usual devotional and preliminary exercises were over the different towns were reported from, and these with reports from officers showed, if not a marked progress, at least an intense interest that must result in good results In most of the towns earnest women are enlisted for temperance and helping to impart their enthusiasm to others. Miss Landfear, state organizer, explained several methods for doing good, as by organizing and interesting the children and disseminat- ing good periodicals. Mrs. H. M. Willis, state superintendent of German work, gave enc of the most encouraging addresses of the meeting. Mrs. w. is herself alderman, and believes that her countrymen only need to be instructed to change them from obstacles in the way of temperance to earnest workers therefor. She plead for aid in circu ating good German periodicals. Mrs. Willis is evidently earnest enthusiastic and iudicious, and valuable auxiliary to the work of the state union. Miss S.. l.. Kimball of Ellington gave fine recitations at both morning and af- ternoon sessions. Mrs. J. H. James of Rock vile spoke several times briefly, to the point, always with an accomplished purpose. Mrs.
 J. R. Barney of R. I. gave the best address of the day, with Bible readings and suggested thoughts. Mrs. E. Giles of Rockville read an essay on young womeDs' influences in the work. Questions were collected from the audience and answered. Mrs. H M. Adams of Rockville was reelected secretary and Mrs. E. $. Agard of Holland treasurer, Mrs. Fuller continuing to be president by virtue of being county vice-president of the state union. In closing the afternoon session brief remarks were made by Rev. Mr. Hawley Mf. Adams of Rockville and others. At 4 15 the Loyal Legion was addressed by Miss Land fear, and in the evening address was de- ivered by Miss Barney. The spirit of the gathering and the earnestness of the women in the work all indicated the surely rising public sentiment against traffic that is al- ready outlawed by public opinion, and only exists because class of men desire to follow 8 profitable and easy occupation that has fewer risks attending it than other known modes of Vampirism and robbery.

EAoH year sees memorial day get observ- ance in better keeping than ever before with the intent of the founders of this occasion of honor to the dead, and to the cause for which they died. Each year the veteran more high ly prizes his right to march in the ranks of the veterans, and feels that his fellow coun- trymen are growing to higher appreciation of what the soldiers dared and braved for them. They are growing older as the years roll by ; the ranks are thinning wounds of battle are telling in the halting step and bones that ache more than they did once; but yet the veteran feels repaid as he sees that the grow ing appreciation of all manifested by the na- tion on the great soldiers holiday, when earth's choicest flowers are laid upon the graves. of his dead comrades, and busy toil stops for time in honor of their memory. The day is growing to be what it should be. Let every one help to hasten the time when it shall be fully so. Let all good people unite to eliminate from this day all horse trotting, base ball playing, or other unseemly junket- inp sports gstfl

FrancO-Madagascar Treaty Submitted
to the French Chamber of
Deputies-A Mutiny.

LONDON, Feb. 1.-Mr. Gladstone left this
mand of the Queen. AT the railway station
he was greeted wish cheers by the people
gathered there, and smilingly bowed his ac-
acknowledgements. He will return to London
tonight.
Mr.. Gladstone received an ovation on his
arrival at Portsmouth. He made few re-
marks, thanking the people for their cordial
reception, and saying that his future life
was certain to be very short.
Arrived at Osborne, Mr.. Gladstone re-
ceived the personal command of the Queen
TO form a new Cabinet. 1t is officially an
nounced this afternoon that he kissed the
mand. Both houses of Parliament met to-
day and adjourned until Thursday, pending
the formation of a new Cabinet.
Mr.. Gladstone baS drafted a Cabinet. but
several of the gentlemen he has named are
not pleased with the positions ne has as
signed to them, and it is therefore probable
that notifications will be made, delaying
the publication Of the official list.
The Press Association gives the following
as the latest as the cast OF the Cabinet:
Mr.. Gladstone. First Lord of the Treasury
and Chancellor of the ExcheQuer; Sir Farrer
Herself, Lord High Chancellor; Sir William
Vernon Harcourt, Home Secretary; Earl
Granville, Lord President of the Council;
Mr.. ii. c. H. Childers Secretary for War.
The remainder are liable to alteration, but
they will probably be as follows: Mr. G.. o.
Trevelyan, President of the Board of Trade;
Mr.. a J. Mundell, President of the Local
Government Board; Earl Spencer, Secretary
for Foreign Affairs; Earl Roseberry, Secre-
tary for the Colonies; Earl Kimberly. Secre-
tary for India Mr.. Chamberlain, First Lord
of the Admiralty; Mr.. J. Morley, Chief
Secretary for Ireland.
1t is understood that the Queen objects to
Mr.. Morley because he is pledged to home
rule.
DUBLIN, Feb. 1.-The Freeman's Journal
states that it has reason to believe that Mr..
Gladstone has agreed with Mr.. Parnell to
join forces in Parliament for the passage of a
bill which shall establish native Parliament
in Dublin to deal with Irish affairs, the new
Legislature to be so constituted as to add to
the present safeguard of the integrity of the
Empire and the rights of the Crown.
BERLIN, Feb. 1.-The National Zeitung, in
politics, censures Mr.. Gladstone for gaining
control of the Government by what it styles
gross intrigue.
The Nossische Zeitung, referring to the fall
of Lord Salisbury, says it is easier for Mr..
Gladstone to goin victory in Parliament
than to establish durable Government that

The Tragedy at Rockport.

RoCKPoaT, Ind, Feb. New develop
ments have risen since Sunday night in the
murder OF Stephen Ellis. About midnight
James Cissna for the murder, but he soon
proved his innocence. fastening the crime
upon Nicholas Hudson, a farmer, living
eight miles from here on the Boonville
road. Upon receiving the information the
Sheriff and posse went at once to capture
Hudson. About o'clock yesterday morn
ing he was found at the farm of Alexander
house was surrounded. and after waking the
owner up and securing admittance Sheriff
Burkhardt went to the room of Hudson and
found him lying in bed sound asleep. On
the table at the head of his bed lay re-
volver and small ak. In the pocket of his
coat was found forty cartridges and pair
of brass Anuckles. At first Hudson strenu-
ously denied all knowledge of the
deed, but finally, under pressure, con-
fessed to the shooting The story, as told by
in saloon, Just outside of the city, drink
ing, and that Ellis aud Hudson became in
volved in a quarrel. At first it was not
supposed to be serious, as no blows were ex-
changed. AS the conversation grew warmer
Hudson drew pistol and shot at Ellis, the
ball. lodging in the right breast, the ball
passing entirely through the body. Hudson
was lodged in Jail. He is rough looking and
has an unsavory reputation. He is twenty
three years of age. The revolver was pur-
chased Saturday morning. Showing it to
several persons during the day. he remarked
that he would use it before night. Early in
the evening he drew it on saloonkeeper in
town, but was quieted down. Ellis was a
peaceaDle and quiet citizen, and has only
been married two months. The citizens
here are greatly excited over the affair, and
speculation was rife on the streets tonight
as to She advisability Of melting out sum-
mary vengeance upon him. Hudson takes
the matter coolly, and said he expected to
get about two years for il.

The President Trying to Do HIS Duty.

Boston, Feb. 1.-The Herald's Washington
correspondent quotes the President as saying:
'I have tried to be true to my own pledges
aud the pledges of my party. We both
promised TO divorce the offices of the coun-
try from used for party services. I have held
to my promise, and mean to hold it.
II did not propose TO hold party service in
the past in the Democratic ranks as against
a man. On the contrary, it gave him
strong, equitable claim to Office. He had
been excluded for twenty-four years because
he was Democrat. He should be remem-
bered for the same reason when a Democratic
administration came into power, provided
he was competent man for the
position TO be filled. What / un-
derstand by civil service reform, as
1 am carrying it out, is that officeholders
shall be divorced from politics while they
fill their positions under the Government.
That rule i have meant to stand by. My re-
movals from office, such as are made, are
made for cause. 1t would be absurd for me
TO undertake to give the country my reasons
in all cases, because il would be impractical
ble When have removed Republican
for political reasons or for any other reasons,
/ would apply the same rule to my own
party. j think Republican Senators should
be just enough to believe this of me. They
ought to appreciate that / am trying to do
my duty. Why they should continue to dis
trust me do not see. They do not come to
me, either personally or by committee, to
get An understanding Of my attitude or to
obtain explanations on points Of action 70
which they object. They stand on and quss-

that can proceed only from the House of
Representatives. which is composed Of his
friends, and from whom no hostile move
ment could be anticipated.
Should the Senate wish, in view of his
declination to transmit papers or other evil
dence, or give reasons for his action, they
could decline to confirm the appointments
of these persons who had been designated
in the place of the suspended incumbents.
The designated persons, however, would
continue to discharge the duties of their re-
speetive offices and be entitled to receive the
legal compensation therefor until the adj
iournment of the Senate, after which the
suspended persons would be reinstated.
But the power of the President to suspend is
unlimited, and all that is required to do is
to suspend again and designate the same
person for the position and report the
same at the next following session of the
Senate and so continue until the end OF his
administration. Therefore there is no posi-
bility OF any peril or danger to the public
service. The question is purely one of poll
tics, which the people will ultimately be
called upon to decide"

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-The testimony in the
Wilbur +. Story will case was concluded be-
fore Judge Rogers this afternoon. Charles
R. Bennett, formerly managing editor of the
Times, was the first witness called this MORN

the last years of his life but objection was
raised by Judge TrumbuIl and sustained by
the Court. Mr.. bennett was then passed,
and Andre Mattson, a writer on the Times
since 1854, was next called. He was inti-
mately associated with Mr.. Story during his
long period of service on the paper, but
failed to have any intercourse with him
after 1880 or 1881. To other questions by
Mr.. Goudy as to the mental condition Of Mr..
Story objection was raised by counsel for

sible to get in evidence OF Mr.. Story's mental
condition under the ruling of the Court.

by whom he expected TO prove the question,
but il this testimony was barred he would
not call them, and thereupon he announced
that he had no further evidence to offer.
Mr.. Dexter stated that Mrs. story's side of
the case was finished. The case was at an
end, except the making of the arguments.
Judge Trumbun delivered the opening ad-
dress for Mrs Story, outlining the legal
course that had been gone over, and refer
ring to the points involved IN the obliga-

A MUTINY.
The Boys Reformatory Ship Attack
the Officers and Put Them to Flight.

LIVERPOOL. Feb. IA mutiny occurred to-
day among the lads on the reformatory ship
Clarence, which is lying in the Mers ~. At
a preconcerted signal the lads in body at
tackled the officers with Delaying pins, fire
arms and other weapons, the officers drew
their revolvers and fired into the mutinous
crowd, and tried in vain to force them TO lay
down their weapons and return to their
places. The boys continued their as
sault, and at last compelled the Off
GERS to seek the shelter of their
cabins. The lads then lowered the
boats, INTO which they crowded, and the
boats drifted down the stream with the tide.
The Clarence's officers after the departure of
the boys, made signals to the authorities
ashore, and soon several boats filled with po-
hce put out from the shore and called upon
the boys to surrender. The youngsters,
deemiDg that resistance would be useless,
gave up and were taken back to the ship.
The rfngleaders were placed in irons.
Eighteen lads and two officers received
wounds in the fight on board. Two years
ago the lads confined on board the Clarence
set fire to the ship. The mutiny arose out of
a religious dispute over certain rules Of the
ship, as all the mutineers were Catholics
The outbreak had been planned for several
days. The wounded have all been removed
to hospital
