of the new order of things that it can
restrain the hand of the most auto
cratic power in Europe. How near we
are to the time when the battle of the
council board will entirely supersede
the sanSuinary cOntensio of mighty
armies must be apparent, when SO emil
nent soldier as General Sheridan is
moved to give expression to such words
as those which came from his lips not
long since at Philadelphia.
The same broad-minded, conciliatorv
spirit which now makes it's presence
felt in the direction of the policy of ma
tons, is likewise present in the councils
that determine the relations between
man and man. Particularly is it's in
fuence apparent in the methods
adopted for the settlement of industrial
disturbances, and in smoothing the diff
ferences between employers and en-
ployed. There is a less apparent dis
position on the part of the former to
hold themselves aloof from the consid-
Grafton of the just claims of those upon
whose skill and fidelity the success of
their enterprises are dependent. And
on the part of the latter there is re-
cognition of the necessity of so regu-
lating their demands within reasonable
bounds as to make their justice appar-
ent, and on the part of both employers
and employed to submit their differ
ences to an impartial tribunal, and to
make the mutual concessions requested
by the arbitrators. Thus the same
generous spirit for the peaceful settle
ment of disputed points is beginning
to dominate the councils of nations
and of men.
The visit and the purposes of the
English peace deputarion to this coun-
try calls forcible attention to the happy
influences which are at work in behalf
of humanity; influences which appeal
to the highest and noblest impulses. and
are destined to achieve the greatest
good to the world. The closing years
of the present century herald the dawn
of that which the next century may see
in it's full and glorious refulgence, clos
ing forever the bloody book of war,
and opening to the light of heaven and
the pen of the happy chronicler the
pure and -be-sullied pages of
beauteoui peace. BLESSED be the
peacemakers, says the beatitude; and
well may we add: Blessed be arbitra-
ton. whose mandate is the oracle of
peace--B0stom Buddet.

cts id heavy" answered the other,
as be pushed the body over to his com
panion. Good subject" said No. in a
whisper, and then Charles began to real
ize that be had been stolen out of the cof-
fin for a medical college, The thought
was by no means cheerful, but try as be
would Charles could not get out of bis
semi-unconscious state. Rather the news
unsettled him and be again lost all con-
sciousness. When he knew anything
again he was standing bolt upright in
low, square, dimly-Ggbted room. He
could feel something on every side of BIN
holding him up. He thought that he was
in dissecting room, ank realized that
whatever was done must be done then or
never. Necessity is creator, and the
gravity of his position seemed to infuse
new blood into his veins. suddenly be
felt the throbbing of his heart and then
the sense of touch seemed to come back
to him. He could feel the warmth from
the stove, while sharp pains darted through
his whole body. The sense of smell came
next, and he almost tainted as the odors
from dozen medical compounds passed
into his nostrils. And, lastly, sight came
to him, and slowly his eyes opened and
he was able to di cern things about him.
Ard what sight! He was not in dis
secting room, but in a doctors Office;
shelves filled with bottles solved the origin
of the Doors. A bookcase well stocked
stood in one corner, while in another was
a combination chair in which patient
ho nj int nj
skeleton strung on wires, with the
CHASTITY skull and pieces of dried flesh
still hanging to the bones, was an
unpleasant reminder of his own situa-
ton. He knew now how he came there.
The men were two medical students who
had robbed his grave and who proposed
to cut him up after having little fun
with one OF the professors. The pangs OF
hunger made him faint, and he searched
the Office for a morsel. He found it be-
hind the curtain, where it had evidently
been placed by the doctors wife, who in
tended it for her husband when he should
return home from midnight call He
never got ii that night, for the corpse did
not leave as much as a crumb behind.
The meal dispatched, Charles felt less
like dead man. Young Martindale had
more nerve than the ordinary young
man, but even he shuddered as he
thought OF what he had passed through.
The Gext thing was to get away. Now
that he was himself again, he bad no idea
of being soused into pickling-tub nor of
ornamentiDg dissecting table. He be-
lieved that he had another destiny, and
then the thought of his past follies came
to him, and he almost wished that be had
not returned to this world, " whch at best
has its unpleasant side Unmindful of
his fathers warnings, he had borrowed
money until he could borrow no more,
and be was ashamed to 60 back home.
He went West and found employment,
and has been there until his sudden reap
pearance to his astonished parents last
night.

Saved from Dissection.

"Toledo special: The details of a re-
markable Instance of supposed death ac-
tual burial and resuscitation, after being
dug up to serve the ends of science on the
dissectlng table, were made known here
to-day. Charles Martindale died sudden
ly in this city five or six years ago as a
result Of a stroke Of apoplexy which came
upon him during wrestling match with
a companion. He was buried with the
usual forms. Last night be appeared in
the flesh at the home of his parents, in
the First ward, and bad the following
story to tell of his experience. He re-
memDered distinctly that he was wrest-
ling with his companions, and then it
seemed to grow dark. He felt that he
was being lifted up and carried away, but
he bad no power to demonstrate. His
nerves refused to act. He knew that his
parents were weeping over him, and after
ward be was conscious that he was being
laid out. Still he was unable to let any
one know that he was alive. The most
horrible sensation came over him when
the coffin was lowered in the grave, and
as a the clods fell upon the lid he lost
even what little mind he had, and every
thing was blank. When next conscious
ness came to him, be was seated between
two men, who were riding a light wagon.
Although his eyes felt so heavy and
swollen that he could not see, he heard
enough to convince him that he Was 10

was what attracted his attention especial

BALTIMORE, Md, Nov. 30.-The cir
cular of John B. Hambleton & Co. to-
morrow will say: We learn from re-

syndicate has released its control of
the Garrett stock. and that these hold
ingS, some $4,000 to 10000 shares are
now controlled by Messrs. Frick and
Mayer. 1t was this stock which carried
the election and elected the new ticket
last week, so there can be no doubt of
the source from which the change in
the directory sprung. RumOr has
it that the Baltimore & Ohio
company is drifting into the hands of
politicians and that there is apt to be a
jarring between the representative of
the state and city in the new board
OF the change in the board Of directors
mittee would criticise the last manage
ment and indulge in personalities
unpleasant to the friends of the
president of the company. The Balti-
more Il Ohio company now owe the
DreXel-Morgan syndicate less than
$4,000 600. for which the syndicate holds
as collateral S3,0OO,0o0 Western Union
stock. The balance of the floating debt
is in the nature of obligations held by
other parties. 1t is also stated that,
barring the S3.oOO,00o Western Union
stock held by the syndicate, the Secur-
tiles of the company are intact.

Washington Post.
Richard Francis, who for so many
years was the presiding genius behind
the bar at Hancock famous restaurant.
and who shared with the house the fame
which it had won through repeated
changes of administration, is dead. He
died yesterday morning at his residence,
No. Ills Thirteenth street, from the eff
feet of para]ytic stroke. The de-
ceased was sixty-two years of age, and
during his life had probably known
more of the men famous in American
history and had better opportunity OF
observing them than any cOlored man,at
least in America. Hancoek's place was
first opened in 1910. and in 1S4S Richard
Francis took charge of the bar and soon
made that place famous for it's mixed
drinks, as it is now. 1t had then not the
attractions of past associations. but not
withStanding this it was soon one of the
prominent places of the city, the resort
of statesmen and fashion alike. With
them all. Francis was Oh terms of
friendly intimacy, and distinguished
statesmen bowed humbly before his SUI
perior intelligence in the matter of adj
justing to a nicely the various ingredi-
ents that went to make up whisky
punch or mi t julep. 1t was not for
ordinary customers that Francis eX-
erted his skill. but for such
men as Clay, Calhoun, Webster,
Benton and the others who made men,
orable that period of American history
just preceding the war. With all of
them Francis was person of conse-
auence. Good-natured and unusually
Intelligent for man of his condition,
Francis took and gave jokes with the
best Of them. He heard Clay discuss
his compromise bill with his senatorial
colleagues while they waited for their
drinks; knew Webster'S peculiarities:
was familiar with Calhoun and could
Judge accurately just what amount of
each particular kind of liquor each
wanted the moment he entered the
door. 1t was this faculty that made his
drinks so popular, and in succeeding
years, when the generation OF states
men to whom he had first catered had
been succeeded by others, Francis as
the dispenser of mixed drinks at Han
cocks was still an important parsonage.
For thirty-siX years he remained at
Hancock's, and he finally severed his
connection with the house ABOUT three
years ago to take charge of the bar in
the Senate restaurant, being appointed
thereto by Senator Edmunds. He re-
manned there until the close OF the last
session, and would have resumed his
position had he recovered from his sud-

LONDON, Nov. 30.--Lord Salisbury,
in a speech at Edinburgh to-day, re-
ferring To the treatment of Irish po-
litical prisoners, held that such treat
ment ought TO deter others from follow
ing their example, and that so long as
such offenders we're dangerous to the
community they must be treated like
other offenders. He warned the Union
lists to watch Mr.. Gladstone, who, he
said, was showing an increasing ten
dency to accept the EXTREMIST views of
the separatists. There was growing in
Mr.. Gladstone's mind a distinct idea of
The entire separation of Ireland. He
sincerely trusted that Scotch Liberals
would cease to attach Importance to
mere party names. The great question
of unfolding the empire and providing
employment for its teeming millions
ought to be considered supreme from
patriotic point of view,
