BOOTH AND MCCULLOUGH.
Ingratitude of 3 Sometime Beneficiary

Ingratitude of q Sometime Beneficiary
of the Latter.
PHILADELPHIA, PA, March 13.-Wm.
F. Johnson, one of the Mccullough monu-
ment committee, a resident of this city,
made number Of ineffective endeaVors
to see Edwin Booth at the beginning of
the latter's present engagement in this
city TO ask for contribution to the monu-
ment fund.
81 could not see Mr.. Booth" said Mr..
johnson last night. Ale lodged me every
time. l then saw his agent, who told me
that Mr.. Booth had seen Capt. Conner and
in conversation with him had expressed
his determination to give nothing to the
monument fund. If Mr.. McCullough's
family needs money | would aid them,
Mr.. Booth said, according to his agents
report, but i will not contribute TO the
monument fund, because there were other
men, greater actors than he, who have
had no monument erected to their
memory, notably, Edwin Forrest and my
father. To erect a monument now to Nc
Cullough would be an inVidiOus distnc-
tion.'
"Mr. Booths agent was surprised that
Capt. Conner did not write me about the
interview. Capt. Conner in letter did
speak of having seen Booth, but only men
TONED 1t incidentally, and apparently as
a matter of no consequence.
"What makes Booths refusal to contri-
butte to the monument fund come with bad
grace, is the kindness that Mccullough
showed to Booth. w hen Booth got into H.
nancial distress, Mccullough played two
weeks at his house in New York for moth
ing and afterwards so doomed Booths en-
gagement at his own theatre IN San Fran
cisco that Booth carried away SAC, 900, and
John besides treated him like prince all
the time he was there"

BOGUS MORMON MISSIONARIES.

Young Women in Pennsylvania De-

sLATINGToN, PA, March 14.-MOses
Wagonhorst, a respectable citizen of near
Whitehall, Lehigh county, called upon
Alderman Bernhard, Of Reading, and other
public officials of that city to-day, and
sald that several weeks ago two patrl-
arcnal looking elderly men, wearing long
white boards, called upon the farmers OF
his section. and those residing in the
lower section OF the adjoining counties,
and announced that they had been sent by
the Mormon church in Utah to make con-
Yerts They tried TO persuade number
OF farmers TO sell cut and ally their for
tunes with the Western MOrmons. They
met with very little encouragement, how
ever, from the staid, substantial people
among the Pennsylvania Germans. Then
they devoted themselves TO the young
women Of the neighb0rbood and showed
how by moving Weet they could marry
rich MOrmOns instead OF remaining mere
drudgers at home, with no prospect Of
obtaining husbands in the OvercrO wded
East. They persuaded seven young
women OF Lehigh and adjoining counties
TO embrace the Mormon faith. They
agreed TO pay their fares West, and held
out golden opportunities 10 them. The
two men started with the seven young
girls by way of New York ten days ago.
Nothing was heard OF them until Friday,
when four Of the young women returned
and related a sad tale of how they had
been deceived and taken to disreputable
places in that city. The alleged Mormon
missionaries merely proved to be agents
Of these places. Three of the young
women refused to 90 back. The four
others escaped, glad to get back 10 their
parents.
The matter has caused the greatest ex-
cftement IN that quiet neighborhOod and
will be inquired into by the officials of

years ago he went into the old bottle bus

The policeman who said this took the
writer down Mulberry street, and a few
blocks below Blocker stopped before a
rickety old building, in front of which
stood several barrels filled with bottles of
all sizes. There were bottles emptied OF
Vino Yarmouth, Piper Sec and Rhine
wine, Of Bass ale, claret and stomach
bitters. Inside the shop were seen the
necks OF a thousand bottles, pointed to-
ward the door like little hOwitzers. They
were piled up and boxed up and were in
rows on the floor. From tho roof hung
dingy demijOhns, covered with eobwebs,
and in the centre of the room was bar

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, March 14.-Cel.
Alexander X. Mcclure, OF the Philadel-
phia Tunes, is making a tour of the South,
and is cow in Florida. He was asked
what the effect had been OF the appoint
ment of colored men on the police force of
Philadelphia some time ago by a Demo-
cratic administration. 1.-THE cOlored
VOTE" said the Colonel, sis the balance
of power in my city, and the move men
toned was good one. While there was
no appreciable effect at first, there has
been since, and the more intelligent men
of that race are beginning TO see that the
Democratic party Is not its enemy"
"Then you think the recent appoint
ment by Mr.. Cleveland of a colOred man
to Ill Mr.. Douglass place as Recorder of
Deeds at Washington is good oneY'
ventured.
Undoubtedly so,o he replied. 81 re-
greet that some good man of that color OF
the District of Columbia had not received
the appointment, but l suppose that the
President could not for some good reason
see his way clear 10 selecting any one
there. The man be has appointed is, how
ever, an able one, and one we'll calculated
to ill the position. He is leader of bis
people,"
"What do you think Of Mr.. Cleveland ?v
"Mr. Cleveland has disappointed his
friends and those who know him best in
that he has shown himself a politician
not one I'm the ordinary acceptance Of the
term, but one in its highest and broadcast
meaning. Heis truly polite man, while
he is at the same time statesman. He
also seems TO aim at carrying out policy
that be promised would be his, and while
he may have made some few mistakes,
yet his course has been on the whole n
wise and judicious one, and one which
will bring tranquility to the business
