SUNDAY IN BOSTON.
q General Stagnation of Business Caused by
Enforcing an Ancient Blue Law.

BosToN, Mass, Nov 22.-Churches and relig-
ious institutions were about the only public
places that could be opened with safety in this
city Sunday. The revival of the ancient blue
law concerning Sunday observance has lent a
serulean hue to to the affairs of those people
whose Sunday trade hitherto has been a strong
feature Of their business. Barber shops. drug
stores, photograph galleries, cigar stores, and
aven the places where Hebrew merchants carry
on their trade were generally closed Restau-
rants and bake shops were the only places of
business that appeared to be exempt from the
bffects CT the Supreme Courts recent decision
During an hours walk in the forenoon n re-
porter found but one drugstore that was closed
before noon. The signs which the druggists dis
played at their windows were unique in their
variety. One read: "Open in case of emergen-
cy or necessity. Ring The door of n very
popular druggist was locked, and in the window
big. leather-bound volume of the public
statutes was displayed, heavily draped in mourn
ing. The BARRIERS, having been raaed before
Ind having won what they supposed was VIC
tory, had signs already prepared. which read:
This shop will be open Sundays until further
notice. They took these old signs and pasted
she word closed over the word "open," and
Anng them IN closely -curtaiaed windows
Some of the photographers had framed and
displayed in the windows the chapter of the pub
nc statutes passnd in 1882, which says that peo-
Die VINO keep Saturday as day of rest may
work Sunday without hindrance Sunday is a
time Of harvest for them Though all LIQUOR sa-
looms and drug-storss were closed, the drought
was not at all severe. All person had TO do
was to ring the bell to get access to most of the
drug stores, where he could quench his thirst
IL was almost impossible TO get a cigar or to-
bacco, however. Several of the clereymen con-
demned the revival of the blue law, and the peo-
pie, as n rule, are thoroughly disgusted with the
days experience with an obsolete law.

ry of the Fort Wayne district. who was defeated
by such overwhelming majority on the ground
that he was opposed to civil-service reform and
tried to influence his ofceholders in the exercise
Of their political rights promises to institute an
interesting contest of his opponents seat. The
Democratic majority in that district. with
popular man in the race, on that ticket, would
have been over 5000. Captain White, the
straight Republican, with no fusion alliances,
was elected by vote reaching between 9 900 and
5000 above Lowry. The regular majority was
simply reversed
One Of Lowry's workers has just arrived here
from Fort Wayne, and says preparations are
being made to conduct one of the most deter
mined and interesting contests that was ever
made of congressional seat The grounds of
contest are in the fact that White did not receive
his naturalization papers till few days before
the election, whereas the Constitution requires
that before he fill the position to which he
is elected he shall have been citizen of the
United States for seven years.
But White will show that he has been citi-
zen, in fact of the United States more than q
score of years. that he was Union soldier, and
entered his declaratory for becoming a citizen
twenty yeary ago. although he did not ask for
his papers till few days before the election,
when they were issued. The question arises is
the certificate of citizenship n necessary adjunct
to proof of citizenship The best lawyers here
say not. any moro than the certificate of mar
rage is prerequisite to proof of marriage The
fact that man and woman have passed as hus-
band and wife through long period OF years.
without question is said to be the same proof of
marriage as the declaration of White to become
citizen his service for the government in the
war ard his exercise Of franchise at the polls
will be to his citizenship. These they say, not
the certificate, prove citizenship, just like the
credit the bank ledger proves the deposit. in
stead of the little creditbook which is issued.
The case will be an interesting one.

THE RITE OF JoHUR.
An Awful Sacrifice Made by Fanatical Wom.
en- in Old India.


A Hindoo, in Pail Mall Gazette.
In Reuters telegram on the 21st of October
/ read: "A repetition of the Johur ordeal has
occurred in Brahmin village near Neemuch, in
Bengal, the object being to avoid the Tonk
Durbar assessment The two victims calmly
ascended the funeral pyre aud bravely met
death. The villagers afterwards took their
charred heads to Odeypore" Neemuch is a
town and British cantonment in the territory of
Gwallor, and is situated at short distance
from the boundary separating that tract of
country from the State of Odeypore in Rajpoo-
tana. 1t is just where one would expect the
Johur to take place, if anywhere for it is essen
TALLY Rajpoot rite, like the sacrifice Of widows
and infants. The present case is remarkable
one, for Johur, in past history, was never used
to avoid assessment and the telegram does not
say whether the victims are male or female
Johur is an awful rite whole tribe may
become extinct by il, as is seen by several in
stances recorded in the history of the Raipoot
States What it signifies is the buraing of wom

querers then to be dealt with as was often the
case in the wars with the Mahometans ne has
recourse to the Johur-that is to say, the immo-
lation of every female Of the family And the
Rajpoot woman gladly embraces such refuge

being forced away as a captive, she would pre-
fer 1t to living on as widow.

WASHINGTON, Now 22.-Ex- Senator Joseph
E. Mcdonald, of Indiana, has never attracted Sc
much attention in Washington as upon his pres
ent trip. His Office has been thronged all day
by admirng friends inquiring about the situa-
tion in his State aud asking for his 'real honest
Joes" opinion as to who will be elected United
States Senator to succeed General Harrison.
Patiently, but with precise repetition, the ex-
Senator has GWEN his opinion to all, which is
recorded in half column interview in the Even

Mcdonald Talks About the Situation in Indiana

sler State Muddle-The Democrats May Break
Up the Legislature-The Presidents Order

After claiming a nominal majority of two on
joint ballot of the Legislature and reciting the
contests of seats which have been fled, Mr..
Mcdonald says there is no way to prevent the
Republicans from obtaining majority by turn
ing Democrats out except by breaking up the
Legislature, and this only be done by ress-
nations. This, he says, Democrats may do is
Republicans unseat Democrats unjustly merely
because they have the power to do So 1t re-
quires two thirds of both houses to make quo
rum to elect Senator, and if the Democrats
retire there would be no Legislature, is the
way no looks at it. IT. however, the Republic
ans get control there will be no opposition TO
General Harrison, in his opinion although he
observed passant, that Governor Porter
would not object to being candidate
Mr. Mcdonald very frankly admits that the re-
suit in Indiana was not satisfactory to him. He
thinks the Democrats should have held their
usual majority: that the result was,due to a de-
sire among Democrats to settle old scores with
each other; that the Presidents order for federal
officials to have nothing to do with politics hurt
the party. He says it may have been good
enough thing but that it hurt pretty had. He pre-
diets the denomination of Cleveland, and proba-
be denomination of Blaine by the Republicans,
but says if George should come into the combi
nation he will draw more largely from the Re
publicans than from the Democrats. ''If the
Republicans should nominate Blaine, says Mr.
Mcdonald, in closing, Cleveland will carry
Massachusetts, and probably New Hampshire
and Michigan"

A Rich Temple Discovered.

Cable Special.
For some time past rumors have been current
in Constantinople of the discovery of fabulous
treasure in the district of Sivas, in Asia Minor,
and the attention of the government having been
called to the matter, the report has been proved
to have some foundation. 1t seems that an Ar
menian of the name of Kupelyan noticed that
several inhabitants of Sivas displayed curious
gold coins, which. being questioned as to their
origin, they said had been found in region In
habited by poor shepherds. Inquiries and
finally excavations, are said to have revealed a
buried temple, whose interior is described as
containing jewels of all kinds, as we'll as many
gold coins.

walk outside the park of Schloss Furstenreid,

painful struggle and resort to force to get him
safely back in the schloss. He is now absolutely
