Cards in Warrington.

One Of the modest cards among those
Of public men IL that Of Gen. Beale, who
was, 1t will be remembered, such an init
mate friend Of Gen. Grant, and who Is
one Of the most cultured gentlemen in
Washington. The family cards In which
father, mother and daughter call with
one presentation, are well represented in
that Of MI. and Mrs. Marshal Wilson,
whose day is Friday, and who live ON G
street. Washington Mclean, the veteran
editor Of The Cincinnati Enquirer, though
an old man, still goes out in society, and
his card is as fashionable as that Of q
dude. Mrs. Stanley Matthews has .
neatly engraved piece Of pasteboard, and
Mrs. Senator Stockbridge's lightly lettered
card looks very simple beside the heavy
black letters on that of Mrs. Mahone.-

It is now many years since MI. ~.
Pearson, the historian, after a long
tour in the United States, predicted
in ON columns that the Americans
would sooner or later restrict immi-
grafton. A direct Bill for this pur-
pose has now been introduced into
the Senate, and has been referred to
the Foreign Affairs Committee. Sc
nator Morrill,, its author, declares
that five mill on immigrants have
entered the Union in ten years. that
in New York so per cent, of the peo-
pie, in Chicago 81 per cent. and in
Boston 20 per cent, are foreign born,
and that l9,430,OO0 of the whole
people, nearly one ia three, were
born outside the Union. He there
fore PROF oSes that lao Immigrant
should be allowed to leave Europe
for America without a certificate OF
character and s0Ivency from an
American Consul. Some Of Mr.. Nor
rill's figures are OBVIOUS eXaggera-
tions, and his Bill has no chance Of
passing; but its Introduction shows
that Americans are waking up to
the dangers produced by the foreign
immigration. immigration will not
be forbidden, ont, in the end, the
suffrage and public office will be
restricted, like the Presidential chair,
to men born "n the territory of the
Union. That was the first article in
the old "Knownothing" creed

SPLENDID OPPORTUNITIES.

g. Co.

The country reached by the lines of
the great Chicago and Northwestern
Railway system offers exceptional in
ducements to persons of moderate
means seeking new homes and to the
capitalists, desirons of making a safe
and productive investment.
At frequent intervals, during the
months of March, April, May and June
the Northwestern Company will sell
land excursion tickets to points in Da-
kota, Nebraska, Minnesota and North
ern Iowa at the low rate of one fare for
the round trip.
This liberal arrangement offers an
excellent opportunity for personal
visit to the rich territory, reached by
that line.
Rates and full particulars can be OBJ
tanned on application to the nearest
ticket agent or by addressing the Gen
eral Passenger agent at Chicago, Ill.

THE illness of Hon. Roscoe Conkling
as reported last week has continued a
source of solicitude to the entire country
for the past ten days. He has been very
near to death several times during this
period, and nothing but his strong will
power and excellent physical constitu-
ton has prevented dissolution. He is
even now making a brave fight for life,
with the chances about equally divided.
The latest reports from his bedside are
that he has improved somewhat, although
he is still a very sick man, and the ply
sicians will not make any positive state
ments in regard to the case.
LATER.-Mr. Conkling died at l 80 AM.
on the 18th inst.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1888-04-21

the members of the Imperial family
were summoned to the Emperor's bed
side. The worst was feared.-The follow
ing bulletin was issued Monday after
noon: "Chsrlottenburg, $3.50 P. M.-The
Emperor did not pass good night,
bronchitis having supervened yesterday,
accompanied by high fever and shortness
of breath"
At the evening conference of the doc
tors concerning the Emperor 1t was found
that the fever and bronchitis were un-
changed. DIR. Mackenzie suggested an
abscess in the vicinity of the trachea as
the cause of the excessive fever, which
has been 30 puzzling to the doctors. 1t is
undeniable that DIR. Mackenzie this
morning believed that the Emperor's
end was approaching. The Empress ur-
gently summoned the members of the
family to hasten to the castle. Grown
Prince William gslloped from Berlin and
arrived first. He was soon followed by
Empress Augusta and others. Prince
Bismarck was at the bedside an hour
after receiving the summons. There is q
marked discharge of bloody mucus from
the Emperor's throat and the swelling is
progressing downward.-The report is
confirmed that the Emperor is suffering
from Inflammation of the lungs. Prince
Bismarck, accompanied by the Minister
of Justice, had another interview with
the Emperor last evening, when His Ma
jesty signed an order, appointing the
Grown Prince to act as his representa-
tive.
Berlin, April 16, 9 P M.-Better reports
have been received from Charlottenburg.
The Emperor left his bed and sat for a
while in an armchair, and about 4 O'Clock
showed himself at window of his room.
The Grand Duchess of Baden visited
him at o'clock. After the visit he slept
for an hour. He subsequently received
visit from the Empress, and the Dowsger
Empress, who remained at his bedside
about quarter of an hour. The Grown
Prince remains at Charlottenburg for
the present.
France.-The unparalleled victory of
Boulanger in the electoral struggle in
the department of the North, proves that
the political excitement in France is run
ming unusually high. Out of total Of
257,696 votes, Boulsnger scored fully
two thirds, leaving his antagonists in
hopeless minority. In fact, the plurality
he obtained over him was nearly $1,000
votes more than the opponent score ed all
in all. Should there be any more similar
victories of Boulanger's party, he may
soon be expected to mount the presiden-
tial chair in spite of every opposition.

The American Exchange international
financial agency) with headquarters in
New York and London-estsblishe by
Fl. F. Gillig & Co. fifteen years ago, and
subsequently transformed into a joint
stock corporation-is in an embarrassed
condition, and its affairs have been placed
in the hands of receivers. General JOS
eph r. Hswley, of Connecticut, is it's
President, and Fl. F. Gillig its manager.
Its liabilities are estimated at S4,000,000.
Mr.. Gillig was in this country at the time
of the failure and Immediately sailed for
London on hearing Of the suspension. 1t
would seem to most people as though he
should have been at home attending to
bis business. Many American tourists
will be seriously embarrassed by the
failure.

KEEP YOUR BLOOD PURE.

There can be no healthy condition of the
body unless the blood is rich in the materials
necessary to repair the waste of the system
When the blood is pure and circulation good
all the functions are equipped to do their al.
lotted duties; but when the blood is thin Oh
impure, some corresponding weakness will
surely result, and in this low state the system
becomes more susceptible to disease.
We believe Hoods Sarsaparilla is the very
best medicine to take to keep the blood pure
and to expel the germs of scrofula, salt
rheum and other poisons which cause SO
much suffering, and sooner or later under
mine the general health. By its peculiar
curative power, Hoods Sarsaparilla strength
ems and builds up the system while it ersdi-
Gates disease.
This is the best season to take good blood
purifier and tonic like Hoods Sarsaparilla,
for at this season the body is especially sus-
ceptible to benefit from medicine. Try
Hoods Sarsaparilla now.

THE appropriation bill for the salaries

The appropriation bill for the salaries
OF the legislative, executive, and judicial
branches of the government has been
complet I'd by the appropriations commit
tee and viii be reported to the house to-
morrow. 1t appropriates altogether $780,
242, 1874, which is less than the act for the
current fiscal year by S209,246; but it
provides for fifty. five more employees, all
told. The sub-treasury at Chicago gets
two additional clerks, one at S1,5OO and
one at 81, 1000. This increases the number
of employees in the assistant treasurer's
office here to eighteen, at total cost OF
1926, 900. The sum asked for was $780,
$50. Postmssters' salaries and the sala-
ries of the customs officials are not in
cluded in this bill.

No appointment has yet been made
for the Chief Justiceship. 1t is thought
that the President will not appoint new
Chief Justice until after the term of Off
cial mourning-thirty days-for Chief
Justice Waite. The papers are busy
nominating candidates for this important
Office, and among the names prominently
suggested are those of Justice Scolfeld,
of Illinois; and Senator Grey, OF Mary
land. The President keeps his own coun-
sci on the matter, and all is speculation
at the present time. The name OF OK
Senator Thurman, of Ohio, has also been
suggested. but on account of his advanced
age, it is not believed that he will receive
the appointment.
