before that hour the. crowd began
to assemble on the portico and
soon extended to the Western gate.
The stream of callers was contin-
uous for two hours and without
incident. 1t was strictly people s
reception. Neither Diplomats, Con-
gressmen, nor society people were
there. They prefer attending card
receptions, which are never so
crowded. There were few evening
toilets among the visitors, almost
all Of them being in street costume.
As usual, the President was cordial

The story about Joaquin Miller's
daughter begging in Chicago,
printed in the n. y. World, created
quite a sensation among literary
and theatrical people. Mrs Frank
Leslie was very much disturbed.
and after reading the story, said
This is a malicious piece of bus
mess. For fifteen years my hus-
band was a clesc personal friend of
Mr.. Miller. He and his wife and
daughter visited us, and | know
that,a father could not have done
more for his child than Mr.. Miller
did for Maud. She was educated
at a Canadian convent at a heavy
expense to him, and, after gradu-
ating, made tour of Europe. She
had the very best opportunities, but
being a little erratic, she failed to
avail herself of them. While in
the Convent in Canada, the Mar
quis of Lorne and Princess Louise
paid her n visit. Over the border
this was considered marked hon
or. She was very pretty and very
intelligent, and should have been a
bright ornament in society She
is now but twenty years of age.
She is but an amateur in the stage
business, and has been on the boards
but a few months. She appeared
in duel character in the Dan
ties " with some success, but it is
not true that she had been playing
important roles for two years. She
applied under her maiden name,
Maud Miller. You may not be
aware that she is married woman
and that her husband, not her
father, is the person to whom she
should look for support. Her hus-
band is son of Steele Mackayc.
theatrical manager. If the report
be true, he has never been able to
support his wife. They were mar
riel against the fathers express
wishes, yet he generously contri-
butcd to her support afterwards. ]
know this, because he instructed
me TO transmit TO her checks in
pay for what he had done for u,
and myself saw that these checks
were forwarded. You see there are
two sides of the story, AMI | think

Regarding the twcnty-four hour
clock scheme now being exten-
sivcly agitated throughout the East,
the Pioneer Press remarks as fol-
lows:
"Thc neglect of the public to
accept the twcnty-four o'clock sys-
tenn of timckceping, SO maniiestly
superior TO the present method, Is
good illustration of the force of
custom. There is nothing abstrusc
whatever about ii. and it does not
require, as many suppose, any cal
culation beyond the simple addition
and subtraction of numbers up to
twcnty-four. 1t is proposed to call
each of the twcnty-four hours of
the day, beginning at one in the
morning by its number. y
moments thought will convince
anyone of its convenience. By the
present plan, ten o'clock may mean
a morning or an evening hour.
Under the new order the confusion
disappears, and ten O'Clock is the
morning hour, while twenty-five
O'Clock indicates that it lacks two
hours of midnight Like all inno-
vations, the plan will meet with
opposition, but once thoroughly
established nothing would induce
us to change to the stupid old
system we once SO much admired.
The decimal system of our cur
rcncy was bitterly opposed at the
time of its adoption, but who would
now go back to the pounds, shill-
ing and pence method

The following from the San

incident which actually occurred
in Elllo, Nevada, about fifteen years
ago. The burglar" is now serv-

gone to meet his reward in the

Powderly's Visit to Canada.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. PAT V. Powderly,
grand master workman of the Knights of Labor,
this evening in reply to question, said the
object of his recent visit to Canada was to con-
fer with the Archbishop of Quebec in reference
to the position of the church towards the
Knights of Labor; s'but." he added, ''the matter
is delicate one and do not feel at liberty to
say anything the subject just now One
word might lead to great deal of trouble, and I
propose to avoid this, if possible. In this
part of the country the church is on the best
terms with the order One Of the principal
reasons for this is that the people in this country
are nearer the priests than they are there
This is a mutual understanding. They
are very particular there, and they
have reason to be. There are so many
Anarchists there that they have just reason to
be suspicious We have some Anarchists in
America. too. but they are not Of the dangerous
class. About all they consist in is wind. They
amuse themselves, and do no harm to anyone
else,n

ployed in the Philadelphia & Reading railroad
freight department were arrested to-day,
charged with stealing merchandise Large guam
titles of goods have been missed, and detectives

move a portion of the contents and replace
the lids The goods were thus not missed until
they arrived at their destination when claim
would be made against the company Two
not made known until to-day when the others
were apreAended. The company can make no
estimate of their loss. A small quantity of the
stolen goods were found to-day at the homo of
one of the clerks.

Demands of the Kanawha Miners.

CHARLESTON, w. Va. Feb 24.-At meeting
of coalminers of the Kanawha and New river
district, held at Coalburg, the association re.
solved to ask the West Virginia Legislature to
enact a law to pay wages of workers every two
weeks in good and lawful money, and make a
days work eight hours, and that the miners
convention, which meets at Columbus O.. in
struct all dealers that they will be boycotted if
they handle coal from operators who pay miners
q cents per bushel, or less, for mining. Local
organizers are to be put in the field to perfect
an organization. The action of operators at
meeting held in this city recently WAS de-
nounced because they refused to send delegates
to Columbus. The association expressed admira-
ton for the Raymond City miners, who have
been on strike for eight months In converse
tion with several operators relative to the action
of the miners, it was stated that they would run
their business regardless of the action of the
miners at Columbus or elsewhere. Many fear
that great trouble will arise from this as soon as
trade opens with the coal operators of this val
ley There are about six thousand miners in
this district and should trouble come it will be
worse than that Of four years ago.

THE POSTAL TELEGRAPH.
Probability that Contract for Reduced
Rates May BE Made.

Rates May Be Made.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb A.-'It is my impression
that the House will pass bill from the commit
tee on postofices and post-roads to contract with
a telegraph company for uniform system of
cheap rates. and that there will be no agitation
of consequence on the subject proper Of postal
telegraphy," said a member of the H ouse com
mittee named, addressing your correspondent
this morning "The committee" he continued.
''has decided against postal telegraphy for the
present There can be no such real thing as
postal telegraph. except in name, till the govern
ment either buys or builds lines There is some
talk Of leasing but that is not practicable"
''What does a contract amount to?' I asked.
"Well, not great deal, but something. It
gives uniform rate, and one that will be lower
than at present. The Western Union is willing,
for the sake, suppose, of staving off the con-
struction of lines By the government to give a
rate, say of twenty cents for twenty words for
500 miles or less; forty cents between 500 and
1000 miles. etc. OF course, that does not ex-
clude competition, and it will not be of great
benefit to the people in the East, and is not what
we want in postal telegraphy. and it will cost
the government something; but am in favor of
it, because if for no other reason it is step to-
wards postal telegraphy."
