A TEAPOT TEMPEST.

Nobody appears to know whether
President Cleveland meditates matrimony
or not, but if he should thrust his neck
into the matrimonial collar what social
CONFUSION there would be at Washington.
At present Mrs. Whitney, the wealthy
wife of the secretary of the navy, out
shines all the social stars of her sex in
Washington. She is the queen of the
republican court at the capital. Miss
Cleveland has attractive manners; re-
spectacle literary reputation and excellent
taste in dress, but she was too sensible a
woman to thy to posture as what is term
ed the "dictator of society and the lead
er Of fashion" But if the president
should marry young wife then there
would be struggle for what is known
at Washington as social supremacy, that
would be as bitter as the feud between
the Montagues and the Capulets. In
England social distinctions are observed
even by the servants. The butler, the
housekeeper, the Wallets and the ladies'
maids are upper classes who take their meals
in the housekeeper's room, the others eat
in the servants hall. At dinner they all
sit together, the butler presiding, until
the meats have been served, but when
the sweets come the upper servants, ac-
cording to degree, march off to the house.
keepers room. The servants of duke
precedes the servant of an earl; the valet
of an ambassador goes before mere
{hvoy's gentleman. Adam Badeau re-
ports that Lady Torrington's maid on one
occasion thrust back the maid of Lady
Wordsworth and exclaimed: "You are
only the servant of a baronet's wife, and
my mistress is the wife of the Right
Hon. Viscount Torrington, lord in wait
ing to her majesty"
Washington, more than any city in
America, seems disposed to ape the in
firmities Of the English aristocracy.
This enforcement Of nice social distinct
ions seems ridiculous even in foreign
country where the tyranical rule of caste
and class has been recognized and re-
spected for centuries, and is part of the
hereditary habits and conduct of the peo-
! pie, whose very laws are passed to protect
the privileges and honors of the few
against the many; but how ineffably in.
sane it appears in America when We all,
in theory at least, pretend to dislike such
distinctions AZ cordially, and denouuce
them as eloquently as ever did Elijah

BONES OF INDIANS MAssACRuD
TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY
THREE YEARS AGO,

The New York Tribune OF tie 23rd
Of April has the following: "On the
night of February 25, 1913, Governor
Kieft, of New Amsterdam, sent com
pany of Dutch soldiers across the river
to what was then known as jain de
Dachers Hocck," with orders to exter-
inmate village Of Indians encanped
there. The soldiers, so the story goes,
surprised the Indians and massacred
nearly every one in the village. A few
escaped and made their way back into
the country toward the present site of
Newark. Trenches were dug and the
bodies thrown into them Unfortunately
The scene of the butchery is now known
as Lafayette, and after nearly two and
one-half centuries one Of the trenches
has been opened. Crowds gathered
around the place yesterday while the ex-
cavating was going on and looked at the
skulls and bones. The number of bodies
can only be determined by means of the
skulls, as the bones are all mixed togeth-
er and many Of them crumble at the
touch into dust. The best preserved
portions Of the bodies are the teeth"

Sunday morning, April 20, Mr.. Mel.
son Skeels passed from this life. Mr.
Skeels was well known man in this
community, having lived here nine years,
respected and estimated by everybody.
Coming to this place from Montana in an
early day, he built tho Uniontown hotel
which he operated for a time, then re.
moved to his farm adjoining the town
and resided there until bis death. The
deceased was man Of untiring energy,
strong will power, honesty of purpose
combined with deep affection for his
family. His last illness wan very pro.
tracted and painful, yet his courage and
patience endured until the close of life.
His lite was pure, peaceful and good, so
good that at its close, when he reviewed
the 10 years lived among his fellow men,
his conscience condemned no act of his
life. BY his death kind loving hus-
band and father is lost to his family,
aud an honored, useful citizen to his
friends. The funeral sermon was deliv.
cred by Mr.. j. H. Vandever to a large
audience who deeply sympathize with the
family in their afiliction.

OFFICE OF THE EXECUTIVE BOARD,
St. Louis May 3.
To the Members Of the District As
semblies 10, SO, 101 and Of the Gen.
eral Assembly, and on-members or
persons affected By the present strike
upon the Gould Southeast System
Of Railways:
GENTLEMEN On April 20 the
citizens Of st. Louis requested this board
that in tie interests Ct the business com.
munity of St. Louis and the United
States in general, the strike upon the
Gould Southwest System of railways be
declared at an end. While this request
was under consideration May 2, by the
joint boards of district assemblies 10, SO
and 1O1, the committee appointed by
congress to investigate the cause of the
trouble between the railway company
and its employees made similar requests,
in which they say the testimony taken
to-day by the congressional investis Eating
committee shows conclusively that very
serious losses to the commercial indus
tries Of the entire country have resulted
from this trouble, and that large num-
bers Of persons not connected Herewith
have been thrown out of employment.
Therefore, we do respectfully but ear
nestly ask you discontinue this strike
and leave the justice of your case to..the
decision that public opinion may form
when We make our report" The docu-
ment was fully considered and the fol.
lowing conclusion arrived at: That the
matter be left in the hands of the gen.
reNl executive board. They set the time
and declared the strike at an end. We
have therefore, settled Tuesday evening,
May 4, 1886, as the time when this
strike shall end You will make appli.
cation to your former employers for re-
employment on the above date May 4.
BY order of the general executive board.

G. Spaulding, OF Chicago; John B. Day OF New
York, and A. Reach, of Philadelphia, as a special
committee OF the National Base Ball League, to-
day sat in this city to determine what two clubs
to add to the League in place OF the disbanded
clubs of Buffalo Providence, or to determine
whether only six clubs, as at present, shall con-
stitute the membership of the League. The COM
mittee resolved to add Washington to the roll and
the choice otlthe eighth. club, from indianapolis.
Kansas City or Milwaukee, should be leiet to the
clubs OF the League IN Chicago, Detroit and ST..
Louis. This conclusion was based upon the as
sumption that the Western clubs in the League
are best fitted to nudge which of the three cities
The committee was in favor OF Kansas City. If
not decided by the committee before March 4.
another session will be held and the place filled.
The following resolution, offered by A. G.. Spauld-
ing was adopted without debate:
Resolved, That this committee recommend
to the League to SO remodel the constitution
to require each club to deposit with the Presi-
dent OF the League 5000 in yearly installments
of 81 600 each, payable during the month OF
March in each year, said fund to constitute a
guarantee fund for the fulfllment of the cOnsti.
tutional requirements of the League and that
they shall deposit bonds OF $500 each"
This fund will in time bear interest and build
up large sum to be used for the benefit of the
men of the League disabled in the field. The re-
suit of the Western election will not be known
before the expiration OF a fortnight.
