Some of the New York newspapers hav e
discovered that the opposition to Senator
Colquitt's reelection is very determined, and
that the senator has become alarmed. Those
who oppose his reelection say that he urged
President Cleveland to come out boldly for
tariff reform, and then refused to take part
in the campaign. In justice to the senator,
it should be said that he acted under the ad-
vice of his physician when be declined
to make campaign speeches. He is troubled
with throat disease. Perhaps however,
the opposition to him is not as serious as the
New York newspapers say it is. In fact,
it is doubtful if there is any opposition to
him worth mentioning.

A person called ex-Judge A. w. Rucker,
of Denver, has been put on record as saying
that Mr.. Cleveland told him before the cleo
ton that the democrats would be defeated.
Here is what Mr.. Cleveland is reported as
saying: Hewitt is democrat, but anxious
to defeat me- Grant is a good democrat,
but his desire for success has overshadowed
all other interests, and then Tammany
never liked me. Gov. Hill is good demo-
crat, but also too anxious to win, and Will
be traded off on his account on every oppor
tunity beyond doubt. Erhardt, the repub
lican nominee for mayor, was put up simply
to be traded off. Now, with all these con-
ditions against me, how can hope to carry
New York;" OF course Mr.. Cleveland did
not unbosom himself to an unknown person
after this fashion. In fact, he thought,
doubtless, he would be reelected. Nobody
at the white house knows anything about
Rucker, and the story sounds like an after
the-campaign yarn.

Mr.. Denny, who is now attracting atten-
ton in Corea, is an Ohioan. 1t appears that
he is another victim of letter writing.
Some time ago he wrote to friend in this
country, severely denouncing the Chinese
government, which had sent him to Corea.
The letter was published in an American
newspaper, and found its way into China.
That is one statement of the matter. An
other is that Denny was caught intriguing
with Russia, which wants to get control OF
Corea. These conflicting statements do not
alter the fact that Mr.. Denny is in trouble
and that he got into trouble by not minding
his own business

A republican newspaper, the Philadelphia
Netcs, attempts to show, by comparing the
republican majorities of 1884 and 1883 of
the New York counties bordering ON Can
ada. that the farmers Of that state brought
about Gen. Harrison's election. 1t appears
from the table presented that the republican
majority in the counties mentioned footed
up 7,2l7 more than in 1884 Isn't the Ne,cs
unfortunate in selecting those particular
countiesi Some people might be unkind
enough to suggest that Chairman Matthew
Quay imported Canadians to swell the re-
publican majorities.

1t was suggested recently that a system Of
tattoo marks be adopted in the peniten.
tiaries, so that escaped convicts might be
identified, and for other reasons. If wha'
NJ. Variot, of France, says is true, how.
ever, the plan would not work. He declares
that tattoo marks may he removed with but
little pain in the following manner: Pune
ture with a needle the skin over the mark,
introduce little tannin, then touch with a
strong solution of nitrate of silver. This,
SAYS the Frenchman, would form a scab

Between $50 and 200 American girls have
married titled foreigners. This is better
for the nobemen than for the Americans,
as history Of the married lives of the
parties would show. Italy seems to furnish
more titled husbands for our young ladies
than any other country. Is this because
the Italian counts possess Vaccinations
peculiar to themselves. or is it because there
are more titled adventures in Italy!

In Meroriam.

At meeting of the vestry of st. Stephens
parish the following action was taken in
reference to the recent death of John Far
well Anderson, member of the yestry for
twenty years past;
Almighty God having taken out of this world
the soul of our late associate in the parish and
yestry of the st. Stephens, we desire to place on
record our sense of the great loss we have sus-
tanned in his death. Our dear friend and brother
will long be affectionately remembered by us for
his uniform courtesy his fidelity to principle, his
consideration for others, his frlendliness TO- all
and his unusual affection for his friends to whom
he was always loyal and true. Sincerity was per-
haps his most marked trait, virtue not uncom-
mon and we could desire, since 1t is in sense
the common bond of all virtues. The services
which he rendered st. Stephens were numerous,
and will be held in grateful remembrance. He
showed his faith by his works.
What Mr.. Anderson was to his native city and
State is well known and widely appreciated.

will be forever identified as the engineer, of

The missionary meeting Of the Woman's
Auxiliary for Foreign Missions, held at High
street church yesterday afternoon, was one
of more than ordinary interest. Mrs. w. II.
Fem conducted the exercises. The vestry
was filed with ladies eager to hear one who
could speak from thirty years experience
in India as a missionary of the American
Board Mrs. Capron. This veteran mission
airy gave an inspiring address, the central
thought of which might be expressed as
''The power of Gods Word" Around this
thought clustered descriptions of daily work
among the women of Madura, a city of $4,000
inhabitants. The essential feature of Mrs.
Capron's work is carrying the Word Of God
into homes and there leaving it to work upon
heart and life.
Women of all castles are included in the
visitation. Bible women (natiye) carefully
trained in the Scriptures assist in the work,
these being allowed to teach no other book
in their visits. No allusion is ever made by
these visitors to the heather religion, idol
gods or temple worship. Reliance is placed
on the Word Of God as power so superior
that when read it shall drive out the inferior
and foolish. 1t is found that these Hindu
women, many of them intelligent and re-
fined, though encased in ignorance. are
quick to grasp spiritual truth when their
eyes are opened. This was illustrated from
actual experience in Mrs. Capron's work. 1t
is quite impossible to give an adequate re-
port of this rich and suggestive address, but
all who were present can but remember the
helpful words.
The annual thank-offering in behalf of the
famine and fire sufferers of Turkey amounted
to more than S120, and it is expected that it
will reach $50. This is a creditable offering
