ithaca, April 80 (SpeciaD.-Professor Goodwin
Smith, Of Toronto, who is lecturlng here at Cornell

lecture by pitching into Chauncey NJ Depew. Al

stood his meaning. After ailuding 10 Ma'the"
Anold's recent criticism American CIVILIZATION
and assuring his audience that the feelings OF MI
Arnold who was his intimate personal friend, toward
Americans were as grateful and kindly as possible
Professor Smith proceeded from his own experience to
vindcate American civilization In relation to the re
ception and treatment of strangers. He said that In
twenty-four years he had met with rnvarying Kind
ness and courtesy, and with the most good natured
willingness to overlook the little slips and errors Into
which stranger in society, with the special usages
of which he was unacquainted was sure to fall only
on one occasion In that period had he met with any
thing that could be called positive dscourtesy, and
even in that case thorc an excuse, nasmuch as
the offence had been committed not out OF wanton In
civty but by politician I'm the way of his business
But Mr. Smith begged that It might not be believed
from anything that had appeared In the papers that
he had ever spoken OF Americans as hostile to indl-
vidual Enellshnen He had never done tbs, nor was
II possible that he could dc It, He had only sposen OF

HELENE AT THE FIFTH AVENUE.

It is extremely unusual for play to be produced
for one night only" at irst-cass New'forR inca

of the Fifth Avenue did not expire till to-day ne hao
last night to let Miss NJ Morton avalied herseH VI
this onportunity to produce her play, Helene"
which proved to have many strong situations. In
the hands of experienced playwright the story that
she told would have made an exciting play, and
though her inexperience prevented her from lead
ing UP to or developing her situations easily and nat
uraly their Inherent strength could not be obscured
Helene IS certainly credltable first attempt, and
It's reception by large and friendly audience was
most enthusiastic. The cast, which included r. H.

classes need to be taught that punishment can
sometimes be swift as well as sure. No credit
accrues to District-Attorney Fellows from this
case, since the man pleaded guilty, and the
prosecutor did not intervene But the public
will inevitably ask how it is that burglar can
be sent to his account so rapidly, while tho
slow months drag by and nothing is done
toward bringing the indicted "boodlers" to
trial.
A curious fact in regard to the nominee fos
Chief Justice is disclosed in our Washington
dispatches 1t is stated that the President did
not consult members of his own party regard
ing Mr.. Fuller, but relied upon the Republican
Senators from Illinois, Messrs. Cullom and
Farwell, and practically obtained their assur-
ance that Mr.. Fuller's nomination would be
fsvorably regarded by the majority in the Sen
ate II also appears that ex-Premier" Morri-
son opposed Mr.. Fullers appointment and
brought forward another candidate to head
him off. These things show that Mr.. Cleve-
lands choice will not have tendency to pro
mote harmony and solidarity in the Democratic
ranks. The President, however, seems to
realize that he is his partys only hope, and so
he has given rein to the spirit Of independence
and of disregard of political consequences that
he has shown on some previous occasions. AS
far as can be judged, there is no doubt as to the
confirmation of Mr.. Fuller

probable outburst from Mr.. Gladstone on Papal

An effort will be made in the Assembly to-

the effort may succeed. Should this reform be

TELEGRAPHIC NEWS,
A Terrible Deed.

The cabin of Marie Berthune, Of
Pittsburg, Kan, widow of Louis Ber-
thune, one Of the miners killed in the
Frontean explosion, was discovered to
be on fire. Before the flames were ex-
tinguised the widow and four OF her
children were burned to death. The
eldest child, a girl of . years, who sue
ceeded III escaping, said her mother
sent each Of the children off to bed
with kiss and then sat down near the
stove. The girl could not sleep, and
lay watching her mother, who, after
singing for some time, took can of
coal oil and poured it over herself,
bed clothes and children. The grief
stricken woman then set fire to some
pieces OF paper and scattered it about
the room. and soon the whole place
was in flames. The girl jumped from
bed and bolted for the half-open door,
Her mother, whose loose dress was
burning tiercely, caught her in her
arms and tried to prevent her escape.
The girl fought for freedom, her strug-
giles being strengthened by the death
shrieks of the other children, who
were writhing in the flames that were
fast consuming the cabin. Mrs. Ber-
thune passed her arms around the
struggling child's body, and, unmind
full of the fire that was slowly burning
her, endeavored to hold her, but her
strength soon gave way before the aw-
full torture. The girl finally made one
more effort to tear herself from the
maniac. Released from the arms OF
her mother the girl staggered through
the door and fell headlong into ditch,
from which she was rescued few
minutes later by a party of miners.

George Wetherell, of Denver, Col,
induced Charles McKane, Of Pueblo,
to start with him for the mountains
TO visit a mining camp. Nothing
more was heard OF McKaue until his
mutilated remains were found in
Beaver Greek. His head had almost
been severed with an AK, while his
body was shockingly mangled. Weth,
erell had murdered his victim while
he slept. He then distracted $23S
from McKane's pocket, stole his team
and drove TO Denver. He could not
satisfactorily account for the team,
and the police arrested him on sus-
picion of being horse-thief, but when
a bloody ak was found in his wagon it
appeared certain that he committed
murder. When the news of Nc kane's
death was received the suspicion was
verified. Wetheroll was sent to The
penitentiary on life sentence eigh-
teen years ago for the murder OF a
sheep herder, but, under the law passed
two years ago, making twenty-five
years the maximum Imprisonment,
Wetherell, with his combinations for
good behavior, secured release. Tie
was taken to Canyon City and placed
in the penitentiary, as there was talk
OF lynching him.

Varigny on the money kings of the
United States, which presents curious
ly sounding statistics about the mil
ionaires not only of this country, but
OF the whole world. According to NJ.
de Varigny, who derives his infor-
nation from an English source, the
millionaire begins not with a million
dollars, but with million pounds
sterling. The statistical table he has
borrowed gives for the whole world
absut 700 millionaires. Of these 200
are assigned to Eng land, 100 to the
United States, 100 to Germany and
Austria combined, rs to France, so To
Russia, so to India and 1875 to all other
countries. Jay Gould heads the list
tor the year 1884 with d capital
reckoned at 1876, 100000 francs, and a
yearly income of 100000 900 francs. j.
