tious was to leave the great majority of the

first sales were made generally at
concessions from last evenings figures Of

losses were sustained in the early trading
Thus was succeeded by reaction in which
Western Union and st. Paul was the
features in the general list, and Hooking
Valley among the specialties, the latter
being favorabIy affected by the probability
of a settlement of the suit against Judge
Burke. The heavy tone was resumed
after this squirt, however, aud Missouri

showed a marked falling off from the cessa-

Tho Sultan and His Musicians.

IL is told that ono day the sultan, in an
hour Of idleness, called for soft music, and
bade his court pianist play polka. Tho
latter, thinking to please bis sovereign more,
sat down ut the instrument and thumped out
the Imperial march with all due energy and
fervor Not n word escaped the lips of the
sovereign, and the pianist never gave the
matter thought until that evening, when n
messenger from Yildiz informed him that the
sultan had no further need Of his services
In other words he was caShered- deprived
of his appointment, his house and u salary of
$1,000 year
Another time, during pantomme at the
Court theatre Mt Yildiz Dussap Pacha played
the Imperial march while jibbering iackass
brayed and pranced about the stage. The
sultan was furious ut hearing his own sacred
and particular march played rs an accom-
panlment to tho dancing of common
donkey, and he dismissed poor Dussap on the
spot. The penitent Pacha was, however,
afterwar1 restored to imperial favor, as the
whole affair proved To be nothing more than
a court intrigue TO work his disgrace New

The Meat Mems Meeting.

The third annual convention of the Ma
tional Butchers Protective association
brought together more than 100 delegates,
representing 5000 slayers of fat cattle, and its
three days session in st. Georges hall, Phila-
delphia resulted in some extremely practical
work Almost all the discussions concerned
the securing of the best meat and the purest
lard and talow from sound cattle at reason
able prices. A curious feature of the con-
vention was the very general denunciation of
Mr.. Phil Armour, and the president of the
association, Thomas Armour, took great pains
to let every ono know that he had no business
connection with his brother Phil.

that his talents were being misdirected, and
he gave up his practice to'b become preacher
During his ministerial career of over twenty
six years he steadily progressed in power and
10y reason Of his superior pulpit qualifications
has always commanded the attention of the
bishops His appointments have always been
to first class charges. He was at one time
presiding elder of the Newark district, and
some years ago was elected recording secre-
tary of the missionary board and society.
The Importance of this position is hardly ex-
pressed in the title OF the Office, as the duties
imposed cover the whole world. Bishop
Fitzgerald was also for a number of years
secretary of the Newark conference, and the
ability he displayed doubtless led to his APP
pointment MS assistant secretary of the gen
eral conferences Of 1876, 1880 and 1884. He
is n trustee of the Drew seminary and vice
president of the board Scarcely past the
meridian of life, no is in the full tide of his
usefulness to tho church Conservative,
learned in parliamentary proceedings, earnest
and upright i'll his methods, his business tact
will exert an influence in the board of bishops
which cannot fail to be productive Of bene
fetal results
Bishop Isaac w. Joyce was delegate
from the Cincinnati conference. He has a
broad, high forehead, and his hair is Of an
iron gray color and worn long His ancestry
can be traced back to the shores Of Ireland,
although his native place is Hamilton, o.
During his early childhood his father moved
TO Indiana, and for many years young Joyce
was engaged in farming. He was converted
TO Methodism when IL years old. Succeed
ing years were devoted to studying in col
lege and active labor as II teacher. In 1859
he was admitted on trial to the Northwest

| lie engaged in that remarkable discussion at
Salt Lake City, with Orson Pratt, the Nor
| rnon apostle DR.. Newman delivered n sermon
in Washington which was generally taken as
an official utterance OF the purposes of the
administration towards the Mormons, and
their church paper, The Deseret News, de-
nounced him for attacking that people at n
distance, suggesting that he come out and
meet one of their champions in debate, DR..
Newman promptly accepted the challenge,
and after much "sparrlng for position"
Brigham Young put forward Orson Pratt
the only man Of any learning in that com
mun!ty, and the debate came OFF in the sum.
mer Of 1870, in the great tabernacle of the
Mormon capital. The question broadly stated
was, Does the Bible sanction polygamyf The
debate continued through three days, each
champion taking an hour of each day. Some
of DR.. Newmau's admissions gave Apostle
Pratt rather free course, The Mormon judg
ment of the debate may be seen from the
fact that they published it in full as cam
paign document"
In 1874 DR., Newman was appointed inspec-
tor of United States consulships in Asia and
made tour around the world. On his re-
turn he was again appointed to the Metro
politan church in Washington and was after
wards transferred to the Central church in
that city. In the winter of 1882 he accepted
a unanimous invitation to become pastor of
Madison Avenue Congregational church in
New York, where he served for two years
and then resigned. Bishop Newman is best
known as the pastor who ministered to Gen.
Grant in his last illness He has been thrice
elected TO the general conference of the
church and has a considerable reputation rs
an author. His principal works are From
Dan to Beersheba, "Blbylon and Nineveh"
and America for Americans" While his
election was in doubt he sat in n conspicuous
position in box in the lower tier of the
opera house, and as each ballot showed a de-
cided gain in his favor be was cheered en-
Enthusiastically.

1859 and proved himself to be an admirable
man in pastoral work While he was editor
of Zion Herald he posted himself on parlia-

appointments.
Bishop Goodsell was born in 1910 in New
burg, N. Y, and has been practically a mem
Der Of East New York conference for twenty
nine years, having entered the ministry at
10 by regular family succession. His
father, Rev. Buel Goodsell was quite popu-
lar preacher in his day, and ministered in
almost the same region as his son since has,
namely, New York city and vicinity. He is
a strictly orthodox Methodist, earnest and
in his faith, at the same time
gracious in manner and very popular.

and felt like boy among giants. In short,
each one completely filed the popular ideal
OF the brawny butcher. Among the most
prominent at the meeting were President Ar
mour, of course, who is very much averse to
having his picture appear in the newspapers;
John II. Hight, president Of the Philadelphia
w. w. kinball, of Boston; Vice
President Charles James, OF St Louis; Rob-
ert b. Noony. of New York; Secretary John
A. Burtis; Recording Secretary Christian
Brokate of St Louis, and Second Vice Pres
ident John II. Schaeffer, of Baltimore.
Every body had a first class time, although
President Cleveland could not be present,
and the meeting wound up with big parade
and subsequent barbecue. They paraded to
get up first class appetites for the barbecue,
and held the barbecue to satisfy the hunger
produced by the big parade.
