MAX U'Iseu on Americans.

Max O'Rell, the stern critic of England.
English women and English customs, whose
books occasioned such angry feelings in the
breasts of numbers of the inhabitants of
Great Britain, has been giving us the benefit
of his opinion on america and Americans.
He delivered lecture with this title ON
Wednesday last at the Birbeok institution,
and though his criticisms on our cousins
across the Atlantic are not altogether favor
able, he Is certainly kinder to them than he
Is to US He told US on Wednesday that,
with all their openness and cordiality there
exists in some American cities certain circles
more reserved and select than any in Mayfair
or the Faubourg ST. German"
On the journey out from Liverpool Mr..
O'Rell travelled with party Of American
nlen, who played poker necessarily, with an
entirely fresh oath for every card they threw
down" son the Sunday morning a young
lady was playing sacred airs on the piano,
and the poker party, coming into the saloon,
stood around and for two hours sang hymns
and psalms with the greatest energy and
cheerfulness." Dir. O'Rell seems surprised at
this, and remarked that he had, he was sorry
to say, met men in other countries who swore,
he was also glad to say that he had met men
who sang hymns, but he AIDA: II believe that
America is the only place which produces
men who do both with equal facility" Even
this hard critic of the feminine faults has not
entirely escaped the destinations Of the
beautiful women, for he confesses TO US that
the American girl is quite charming, while
the only thing he can find to say against her
IS that she overdresses. He says that the
word simplicity issnot included in the vocab-
ulary Of New York dressmaker. Mr.
O'Rell's ideas on dress may be different to
that Of most people or else the American girls
We see over here must be exceptions to tho
rule, for they are generally dressed quietly
and always IN good taste.-London Letter TO

PREVENTING ALYNCHlNG.

SHAwNEETowN, H., Dec. 25.-There IS
considerable feeling against the negro John
Price. who assaulted Clinton Garrett.
Jarrett died of his injuries last night. and
a large procession followed the remains to
Bucks graveyard this afternoon. Every
thing is quiet, but it is not considered as
any indication that the feeling has subsid-
ed. 1t was understood that the iail last
aight would be guarded by large
double barreled shot guns. hut
in fact only few men were on
duty, only as blind. The truth is. at an
early hour last night Price was manacled
hand and foot, and given over to three
trusty deputies. who hurried him cut of
the county, riding all night. His where
Rbouts are unknown, though he will be
held in the Jail of some neighboring county
Until brought here for trial before the cir
cuit court in February. Outside of few
officers it is still supposed by all that Price
is yet in the city Jail.

THE STORMS HAVOC.

but are in fairly good shape this evening
The heaviest loser by far is the telephone
company, which estimates its loss at $50. 000
All their wires on Grand Avenue from
Sixth to Sixteenth streets are down, and
nearly all the poles on the same street are
broken, Tonight it is growing colder.
The snow fall has ceased.

Consumption of Oranges.

There is no fruit grown more valuable TO
both consumer and grower than the orange.
Think Of the good times If every person in
the land really had lis twenty oranges Cpres-
ent average). By the end Of the century the
average TO each person viii Be not less than
100, for most Of the best groves are just com
ing into bearing. This is true Of California
as gel as Of Florida. The enormous con-
sumption of oranges Is Tailed by the equally
increased consumption Of grapes and b4rTses

CHICAGO ANARCHISTS.
Mrs. Lucy Parsons Proposed Lecture Pre-
vented by the Authorities.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Dec 26-Handbills were
widely distributed today announcing that
Mrs. Lucy Parsons, wife of the executed
anarchist, would lecture in Waverly hall
tonight. One of the bills was handed to
Chief of Police Hubbard, who sent Lieut..
Laughlin to Mr.. Lewis, the proprietor of
the hall, with instructions to order him
not to open the place. Mr.. Lewis was not
satisfied with the message and called i'm
mediately upon the chief.
Il shall send an officer to you tonight"
said the chief to Mr.. Lewis, who will de-
mand the key of the hall from you. He
will station a policeman at the door who
will forbid admission to the hall. You
are perfectly helpless in the matter, and
any responsibility there is will be upon the
police" Is.
The wording of the subject of the lecture
was trife ambiguous in that it might in
clude any or all phases of anarchy and So
cialisnl. There was no doubt in the minds
of the police that Mrs. Parsons intended to
say something to cause. her arrest. Said
Chief Hubbard. s.eat isfs%
Mrs. Parsons can advertise herself all
she pleases, but we will not help her to do
it, We have private information that she
intended to make a violent sanarchistic
harangue. Then we would have been COM
PEELED to arrest her, and you can be sure
that it would have been magnified in every
way by the anarchists in the argument of
their in functions tomorrow. The attempt
ed lecture was simply for effect. 1t is we'll
known that Mrs. Parsons cannot refrain
from talking Of anarchy if she gets a
chance, and we will not experiment with
her farther. She simply cannot speak in
