A yviIIInantic Pastor Resigns.

WnLIMANT1c, Ct., Feb. 5.-Rev. s. R. Free, of the First Congregational church, surprised his congregation this morning by giving notice of his intention to close his labors here. According to the terms of his engagement his pastorate was to terminate upon three months notice by pastor or peo- pie, although he said this morning it would be perfectly satisfactory to him if he could get release by April 1. Mir. Free has strong hold upon the community at large. but has for some time been persistent ly opposed by the "orthodox" portion of the church, and he therefore thinks it best tha, he should go. He stated to-day that he had no plans for the future, but simply desired to release the Willimantic Congregational church from all embarrassment.

Tho Evil of Chewing Gloves.


 When I smell cloves on 8 mans breath my first thought is, "That man is q fool He thinks he is concealing the smell of whis key or some other vile smell and he is only advertising it. There is another reason also why he is fool. The oil of cloves, which is expressed from them by chewing them, is an active solvent of the enamel of the teeth Anyone who chews cloves will soon notice that it makes the teeth tender That means that their enamel is disappearing, and the next step is a mouthful of decayed teeth, which all the odors of Araby the blest car never sweeten. When will people learn that the sweetest and rarest smell of all is no smel at a1l2

 EVANSVILLE, Ind, Feb. 5.--A White Cap outrage is reported to have been committed Friday night near Marengo, Thomas county.

To avenge Courtney the second visit to Williams was made. Williams fired three times at the nen when they broke into his house late Friday night, but is not known to have hit anybody. Mrs. Williams was tied to the bedside and her husband was led into the yard and bound to a tree. He refused to purchase immunity from judgment by sign- ing statement exonerating Courtney. He was then stripped and logged into uncon- sciousness. The White Caps fled and at last accounts Williams was in a dying condition.

A JAPANESE CLUBHOUSE.
Romantic Origin of ssThe Maple
 Heuse,,-A Revy Of BeautIes.

Romantic Origin of ssThe Maple Heuse''-A Revy Of Beauties.
 [Tokio Cor. San Francisco Examiner.1
 The Maple House is one of the select clubs of Japan, to which only the higher classes
 are admitted. My influential friend came
 into play again, and had the pleasure of enjoying it's entertainment. The history of
 the club is founded upon the fact that some
 years ago somebody carved piece of wood
 in some fantastic shape, and placed it in
 beautiful lake near by. Shortly afterwards
 it was noticed that this carving had sprouted,
 and they planted it on hill adjoining
 where it 1ourished and formed a beautiful
 grove. The autumn foliage of these maple
 trees is 8 most beautiful sight, and quite
 different from anything have ever before
 seen. In fact, this impresses you about
 every tree you see in Japan that you have
 seen in ether places. It improves in appear3 ance and seems of prsttier foliage. Amid
 this grove stands the Maple House, built and
 furnished in Japanese style, and of large size. The doctor had heard me admire some of the pretty girls in the tea-houses, and said he would show the 'EAmericano" some
 beauties, and one who could talk English.
 He then took me to his club, and as we approached it asked if we should sit on the
 DOTcu or go luslu6. haV1uS uOly of going barefooted and having cold feet, I selected the porch, but changed my mind and went inside. In Japan, when you wish
 to call for servant you do so by clapping hands three times, which brings them from all sides. It was very evident that soms- time during his life the doctor had been an old stager, as he was most heartily welcomed by all. They finally brought cushions for us to sit on-fnely embroidered with maple leaves. The tea service, walters, glasses, all were decorated with maple leaves. The cakes and candies were all in the shape of and represented autumn leaves in all tints
 Very pretty and charming young ladies were in attendance, with complexions as clear as alabaster-not laid on by the bottle either their beauty being only marred by red- painted lips. They waited on us very cutely, but yet the doctor was not satisfied and kept sending for "Conny," who finally came. She spoke English in the sweetest tones. We were served by the young ladies on their knees, and looking so sweetly that I not only mashed "Conny," but also the other three. All Japanese girls very modest and bashful, and my American style of mashing nearly paral. zed the young danes. Passing around to the front began to realize the swell crowd was in by seeing the car- riages and hacks, with all sorts of coats of arms and liveried servants literally covered with solid gold braid

Steps Being Taken to Move The
 Structure From Richmond.
 CHICAGO, Feb. 5.-Steps are being taken for the formation of a company with $400,- 600 capital to move Libby prison from Rich mend to this city. The prison is now owned by the Southern Fertilizing company and can be purchased for $23, 900. It is of brick, three stories high, with an old fashioned gable roof and is fifty years old. It contains six hundred thousand bricks, stone caps and sills and is surrounded on three sides by & steel sidewalk A member of the proposed company, not Eugene Field, says the struc. ture is to be taken down, removed to this city and rebuilt just as it now stands. "We propose" he says, Ito number every brick, stone and shingle. The building will be taken down in sections. The material will be boxed up and transported by rail to Chi cago. We will carefully keep every nail that has not rusted away and bring on the mortar and use it as much as possible in the rebuild ing. Every beam and window will be set in place. The enterprise will cost $200, 900. We will surround it with another building 200x100 with glass roof and on the wall opposite the rear of the prison we will have 8 panoramic view of the James river and the country beyond. The enterprise is a business speculation"

Congressmen Fight Shy of Investie eat-
 ing.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Speaker Carlisle has met many discouragements in his efforts te arrange committee to investigate the Reading strikes. The chairmanship has been offered to a dezen prominent men, each. of whom has declined the responsibility. Even the men who were instrumental in securing the passage of the Investigating resolution are disinclined to undertake the work. MT. Raynor of Baltimore, the man who made quite reputation during the discussion of the question in the House, was the first asked to be chairman of the committee. He promptly declined, and other gentlemen to whom MT. Carlisle appealed did the same. Several members would be willing to accept the chairmanship of the committee, or even g membership upon it, but Speaker Carlisle is not so anxious that they should serve. He wants to get strong committee, one that will make thorough investigation and re- port the facts exactly as they are. It is not easy to select politicians to do this. It is said that three members of the committee have been positively decided upon. These are Buckalew of Pennsylvania, Anderson of Kansas, and Chapman of Michigan. The latter is new man in Congress, but is re- garded as able and fearless. He said to-day that he had not been asked by the Speaker to serve, but that many members had urged that he be appointed. The committee will probably be appointed on Monday.

DIR. NEsGLYNN SENDS A WARNING. The Church Authorities Must Let
 Him Alone.

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-Dr. McGlynn spoke before the Anti-Peverty society in the Acad smy tonight on Strikes and the Labor Move ment." He said strikes are violent symp- tom of adeadly disease. They are not cure. The cure is the ballot. The Christian church has taught men to build hospitals and asy- lums, but it should net stop there, it should assist them to their rights. Speaking of the desire of some of his former parishioners to see him again pastor of St. Stephens he said: q shall never without 8 great moral revolution which is improbable return to the church nor minister again in the church. I could not go back without apologizing for what I have said at these meetings. I shall never accept such conditions. If they follow me with the arts of which they are masters I shall expose them. I shall do it in a defense of a cause that is more to rne than my honor or life. I shall not permit the cause to suffer and give them warning that I am in posses sion of knowledge that will make the coun- try too hot to hold some of them, and it will be the part of prudence to let me alone"
