CHAMBERLAIN-ENDiCOTT,
Wedding of the Fair at Washington-The
President Attends.

HedeihS OF tho Fair at Washington-Iht
President Attends.
WASHINGTON, Nov. Is. - Hon. JOSEPH
Chamberlain and Miss Mary Endicott
daughter cf the Secretary Of War wers
married at two O'Clock this afternoon in
st. Johns Episcopal Church. The Presi.
dent and Mrs. Cleveland entered the
church just before two o'clock and were
escorted to seats in one of the pews in the
first row. Members Of the Endicott fami-
ly and relatives were seated Immediately
IN the rear, while as many of the public
as could find room in the lit le church
filled the gallery and Railways.
MIR. Chamberlain entered the church at
two O'Clock and waited at the chancel.
His appearance was the signal to the or
ganist, who Immediately began to play the
wedding march from ''Lohengrn, ?" and the
bride, leaning ON her fathers arm, attired in
a pearl gray travelling dress, and wearing
dark bonnet, passed up the right aisle,
and joining the bridegroom knelt before
the altar. Rev. DR.. Leonard, assisted by
Rev. MIR. Franks, of Salem, Mass, per-
formed the Episcopal wedding service.
Both bride and groom gave back the re-
sponses in a firm and audible voice.
Prayer was pronounced and Joseph
Chamberlain and Mary Endicott were
man and wife.
The groom is fifty-two years of age and
had been twice welded before this, his
previous partners having died. He is well
known politically, and was concerned in
the fishery negotiations at Washington
last winter, where he first met Miss Endi-
cOtt.

HOW BERLIN GROWS.
Its Libraries, Museums, Palaces and Its
Great University.

Its Libraries, Museums, Palaces and Its
Great University.
Under the heading of ''New Berlin
many interesting particulars of the pro-
! gress Of the Prussian capital since 1871
have been gathered together by Prof
Paloezy. There arc now, it seems.
twenty-five public libraries in Berlin,
with more than one hundred thousand
volumes. Vienna's twenty-nine public
squares are compared with fifty-eight
possessed by Berlin. Though Vienna
has it's Prater and Paris it's Bois de
Gruenwald with its immense extent, it's
| hills and wales, its woods and lakes,
| villas and hunting lodges. The north
ern limit now lies close to the houses OF
Charlottenburg, the largest suburb.
Berlin expends yearly more than TO-
600, 900 marks on the poor, and medf-
cants on the streets are unknown.
The citizens take pride in serving their
city without reward. More than
twelve thousand of them are now thus
working for the town, while the num-
Der OF paid officers is comparatively
Insignificant. More than half of the
thirty-one magistrates who carry ON
the direction of affairs in the Red
House" have no salary, though their
office is no sinecure. This unselfisl
devotion to the general wel1-being is
the sure guarantee for the further de-
velopment of the city. 1t is only four
years ago that the Prussian Landtag
voted 4,000,0 900 marks for the increase
OF the royal museums of Berlin. Sew
eral millions of marks have been re-
Gently voted for deepening the bed of
the Spree and for the improvements of
the Upper Spree canal, which will
greatly facilitate the trade. of the city.
The city railway costs enormous sums.
The Ministerial palaces, though simple
in style. have luxurious and commodi-
GUS interiors. Four monumental post
offices and the magnificent Polytechnic
at the west end of the Thiergarden are
the boast of the city. The new palace
of the Reichstag in the Konigsplats is
rising from its foundations, and in less
than three years it will probably be the
greatest ornament of the city. A strik-
ing illustration of the progress of Berlin
is the almost unexampled increase of
the students in the University, who
numbered in 1887 no less than 6, S88.
At this moment the University of Berlin
is the most frequented in the. world;
that of Vienna comes next. The num-
Der OF professors is about three hum
dred. The pupils in the new Poly-
technic number more than 1900, and
all other schools are in fourishins
condition. n.-Londo7s NeaCs.

OHIO's INDIAN CONViCTS.
How the Apaclles Confined in the Coiun"
bus Peuitentiary Behave Themselves

bus Peuitentiary Behave Themselves
The authority of Captain Jack, the
Apache Indian prisoner at the penlten~
tiary, over the other Indian prisoners
is supreme They look to him for their
commands and whatever he says goes,
the authority of the guards notwith-
standing. Captain Jack recognizes
Warden Coffin only, and he invariably
| speaks of him as the big Chief" he
has assumed the authority over the In
dians by calling himself Indian chief,
and in talking with him he conveys the
idea that he and the warden had enter
ed into an agreement to this effect.
This is a bit of adroitness On the part
OF the cunning redskin, and he Is very
clever in the use of this assumed au-
thority in thwarting the desires Of the
guards when be wants to get out OF do
ing any thing. A sign or word from
him to one of the other Indians has
more weight than any thing else, and
as a result there is sometimes con-
fict of authority Not long ago there
was sort of a suppressed rebellion
among the Indians. 1t will be remem-
hered that they have organized in %
class to learn English. They all did
remarkably we'll, and those who could
scarcely speak q word Of English have
now a vocabulary of several hundred
words A prisoner named Syrski, who
is an educated Russian, taught them,
because he had taught in an Indian
school on the frontier. The boycott
which his pupils have lately instituted
against him IS not only ludicrous but it
also shows that the Indians are like all
other school boys. One evening Cap
tain Jack refused to go to school and
gave the following reason:
Big Chief say to Captain Jack, 1ndiaD
chief that Captain Jack work hard,
work all the time, no school. If Big
Chief say no work, then school all time"
Captain Jack doesn't like to work, and
as they have been put through pretty
steady since the rush, he and his COM
panions have discontinued their liter
ary pursuits. 1t was about as near the
warpath as they could get in their
present state.
Mr.. Syrski could fill a good sized vol
ume with their sayings and incidents of
their prison life. The following is a
letter which one of them dictated to
him last Sunday, and which was sent to
his sister in Arizona: '.To Cla Tuite-
tosch, care of Alsiecer, q. S. scout Me
to Columbus no kille all time workee
good, tainned hard. Me by and by,
pretty Quick soon come back to you.
Me want another one paper from Ari-
iona come back This last means
that he wants his sister to answer his
State Journal.

PoWDERLY EXPLAINS.
Some of the Causes Which Account r.
the Decrease of Aemharsbin


the Decrease of Membership,
INDIANAPOLIS Nov. 16-In his report
yesterday General Master Workman
IoWderly gave the following reescns frr
."e cecrease In the membership of the
knights Of Labor:
many causes combined to reduce the
number of those who swore allegiance to
the principles of the Knight of Labor:
ihelr va!uatscr OF false statements con-
~erhing the strength of the order drove
away many thousands who regarded
quantity as being superior to quail
lty IN the makeup of the member
snip OF labor organization. When the
rumor went forth from the enemy's quar-
ters that the numbers wers drtpuitiss down
these members who looked to Others for
what they should do themselves dropped
out also. When the divergence of opinion
between the general officers became her.
aided broadcast by those who always
magnliied, then the members who looked
for unity among the officers, instead OF
doing their duty by waiting until thew
could replace these officers with others,
withdrew from tho order temporarily.
The unwise strikes which were entered
upon against the laws and principles OF
the Knights of Labor swept thousan Dis Of
our members into poverty and forced them
from the order. Add to all of these causes
the campaign which has just closed in the
United States, in which members and as
semblies were pitted against each other on
a question which never was made a part
OF the declaration of principles, and on
which they could very well afford to diff
fer without differing as to any point in the
off ho nd
not that there has been a falling off, but
that we have passed through the crucial
test with the ranks unbroken as we find
them to-day"
Mr.. Powderly held that it was not one
men power, but the lack of ono-man power
that was the chief trouble of the order.
He asked the knights to tarr theit stter,
ton to questions of finance, land and
transportation as the most impor-
tant questions of the dav. He de-
nounced the alleged reform movement |
OF the Chicago 'provtsional committee |
hs born of hate, and dema,,dsd that thoaa |
who tooE part III it should be excluded |
from the order. He accused the Interna- |
tlonas Workingmen's Association of hav-
ing It's members join the knights and OBJ
tanning offices in the latter order for the |
sole purpose Of creating discord In it's
fanks and weakering its ofgantsatioii.

was discharged September and Septem-
Der 10 it is alleged he entered the Grover
house and took several papers connected
with law suits in which Mrs Patton, the
mother of Mrs. Glover, was a party.
Graham swore he did not break into the
house and the papers of which he had pos
session were held by him long before the
date he was accused of having stolen
them.
The case was submitted without argu-

if they believed Graham was entitled to
the property he should not be convicted.
