INCOME AND EXPENSES.

Talmage's income is large, and he has
probably turned his reputation into
larger substantial gain than any public
man of the day. His salary as pastor
of the Tabernacle is $l2 900 per year,
while his le3turing receipts are fully
twice that amount. As he is the most
popular lecturer in the country, his SER
vices are everywhere sought, and he
can afford to ask high prices. For the
exclusive control of his sermons, in ad-
vance of the regular publication as re-
ported upon their delivery, he receives
from a New York firm yearly amount
nearly as large as his salary. As editor
of a popular monthly he receives $4,000,
while his marriage fees run as high as
$3.50 for single ceremony. His Friday
evening lectures are also syndicated to
a large number of papers, and for this
he gets regular stipend. Then he has
a royalty on his published books, and
receives very large Sums fer doing odd
literary work whenever he has the time,
Offers of this kind come to him by every
mail. Only recently, he declined an
offer of $3.50 per week for a regular
newspaper letter on current topics.
Talmages expenses are, of course,
large. His family live and dress well;
he has son at college, and daughter

GEN. PORTER's WAR PAINT ON.
Going In n Vigorous style for Gen. De
Pevster's scalp.

Gen. Fitz John Porter was in q particularly
good humor this morning when he reached
his rooms in Police Headquarters, and
laughed heartily at some of the stories pub
lished in the morning papers concerning the
cause of the quarrel between himself and
Gen. John Watts De Peyster.
He adhered to his declaration of yesterday,
that the removal of Policeman John O.. Clark
from Twenty first street to Eighth street on
Broadway was a mighty small matter
to make such II big fuss about. rs
in the life of a policeman which are accepted
as matters of curse. Such removals were
scarcely ever brought to the official notice OF
the Board, he said.
" did what | considered to be my duty in
the case OF Clark" he went on, - and i had
no idea that it required or would receive
public notoriety."
ut is stated, General, this morning, that

she was n friend Of mine-but that

to any feeling concerning Mrs. kearny Is

Police Commissioner, but because l am q

and dearest friend, and that he always felt
that If you had not acted as you did ut the

cial spleen and said many rude things,

GIBLIN'S COMPANION NOT CAUGHT.
Federal and State Ohicers Watching for the
Friend OF the CounterfeitinE Murderer.

Valentine Goetz, the Houston street
grocer, whose wife was killed by Counter
feiter Charles Lawrence Giblin, on Wednes-
day night, and who lies in st.
Francis's Hospital, in Fifth street, suf-
fering from wounds inflicted by the muir
derer, slept well last night. No fever has
shown itself, and his recovery is confidently
predicted by the Sisters of the hospital.
= Secret Service Detective McManus says
that he did not represent that he had arrested
the counterfeiting accomplice of Giblin,
who snatched and ran away with the revolver
with which Goetz and his wife were shot.
He hopes to get the man. however, although
the fellow has eluded the Government officers
for nearly four years. He is an accomplished
counterfeiter, and Giblin was only one of his
many whilom tools.
The police authorities are also fully in
formed regarding the man and are watching
every known resort of the fellow. He is, OF
course, amenable both to the laws of New
York and those of the United States.
Giblin, pale and heayy-eyed, but siolld and
Indifferent, was committed TO the Tombs by
Coroner Levy yesterday afternoon, and an in
quest in the case of Mrs. Goetz will be held
on Tuesday. Her funeral will take place
from the house tomorrow.

If those ladies and gentlemen who are
working to preserve the Saturday half holiday
would lend a little mutual assistance to the
overworked butchers of this great city by
buying their meat on Saturday in place Of
going away and enjoying themselves and
waiting to make purchases until Sunday, we
would be very thankful to them. Also, if
the doctors and ministers of the gospel who
have advocated the half holiday for laboring
people, saying that by giving them the half
holiday it would make better Christians of
10 give us our Sunday and a chance to attend
to our Christian duties like other working
people, we would be very thankful to them,
/ can assure you.
If those agitators and Senators would make
an appeal to the Legislature to have all meat
markets closed on Sundays, they, too, would
convey a blessing and happiness on the over
worked iourneymen shop butchers.
BY inserting this little note in your valuable
paper you will confer an act of kindness on
the journeymen shop butchers of this city
which they will not soon forget.

WILL THE MINERS GO BACK?


wv
The settlement Of the Reading miners
strike, as announced in yesterdays EVENING
WORLD, caused great surprise among the
Knights Of Labor In this city. Some leading
members of the order would not believe that
n settlement had been made and declared
that the miners would not go back to work
on Monday under Master Workman Lewis's
order, while others said that an agreement
had undoubtedly been made and that it re-
manned to be seen what the outcome would
be after q conference with Mr.. Corbin.
George g.. Boyle, organizer of National
District Assembly No. 135, to which the
miners of the Schuylkiil region are attached,
arrangement made by Master Workman
Lewis with Mr.. Corbin is undoubtedly a fact.

sembly will return to work pending the con-
ference with the C~ompany's representatives"

1t All Depends on the Women.


10 the Editor Of The Epsnino World
The Saturday Half Holiday law, so far as ii
relates to the dry-goods stores, could be very
easily put into operation and would be too.
if the women, who have all the week IN which
to do their shopping, would keep away from
dry-goods establishments on Saturday after
moons.
True, most of New York's leading dry
goods houses close at noon on Saturdays
during the months of July and August, some
even extending through September the noon
Years ago the closing at noon on Saturdays
for two months in the year was thought to be
impracticable, because it was argued by
those who knew" hat the establishments
granting the half holiday would meet with
financial loss through their generosity. II
has, however, been fully demonstrated that
the " knowing ones" were all wrong in their
calculations.
Why, then, if the half holiday operates
successfully for two months in the year,
should it not do 30 during the other ten
months of the year
The shopping which is done after 10 o'clock
on Saturday in our leading dry-goods stores
amounts to a very little from a financial point
of view, when compared with the sales of the
other days of the week. No heavy buying is
after noon especially. Let the women, who
outnumber the men one thousand to one Co

emporiums, resolve not to enter a dry goods

With the dry-goods trade in line, all other
trades will fall into the ranks. Give the

will reap advantageously from their increased

The burglars at Mr.. SHELLS left their tools
In q mahogany box, Among the women
whom the police caught In their drag net
after the murder was Jennie Clifford, akeeper
of n Clinton street dive. She recognized the
box as one which u visitor to her house had
carried with him. She said his name was
Tascott.
The young man who had lodged at Mrs.
Wiok's had given the name Of 4. A. Scott,
which could easily, be made out Of Taseott.
The young man whom Mrs. Owsley had re-
fused to prosecute had been recognized as
Will Tascott.
The police were not very long in putting
these. clews together. They say they have
found a great deal of evidence that fastens
Tascott.
II is limited that among the evidence is q
confession. They had previously determined
to offer a reward of $500 for the capture of
the young man who roomed at Mrs; Wioks's
as the Ashland avenue burglar; They de-
scribed him us T. A. Gathright, a name
which he had sometimes assumed.
After hearing the other evidence identify
ing Tascott with this young man, the chiefs
of the Police Department held a long confer
the reward to 50, 900 and charge Tascott with
the murder.
If the theory of the police is correct 1t will
not be easy to capture young Tascott.
They think very likely he is now on his
way to Europe.
A day or two after the murder of Smell,
Mrs. .Tascott, Williams stepmother, suddenly
left the city. It is surmised that she went to
New York. Her object may have been to see
William of on q steamer.
Col. Tascott has taken refuge in the house
of his son Frank, in the suburbs of Oak Park.
1t is feared that he will not survive the
shock. He knew nothing of the charges
against his son until last night.
Tascott, who travels as suits his pleasure
under the aliases of II. A. Gathright. Moore,
Scott and Clark. is reported to nave come to
this city in company with his mother and to
have sailed alone on one of the outgoing
steamers last Saturday for Europe.

sell tickets for these steamers report that nc
one answering the description of Tascott
