GOULD Is WANTED.
An Application to Be Made For
His Return to This Country.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE Tribune
publishes the text of a letter from
Lawyer w. I'll. Delaney, who represents
the holders OF the consolidated mortgage
bonds of the Kansas Pacific railway,
to President Cleveland. Mr.. Delaney
says he thinks the recommendations of
the Pacific Railroad commission, as to
the terms which the government should
require from the Kansas Pacific road
for the settlement of its claims against
that organization, are too Sc
we're. He says that the trus-
tees. Jay Gould and Russell
Sage. converted $1,000. 900 of its securi-
ties to their own use, thereby making
the property less able to meet its obliga-
tions. both to the government and the
holders of the bonds, and he thinks the
government should abate its claims some
what for a time, so that the bondhOld-
ers may receive their interest pending
the outcome of proceedings against
Messrs. Gould and Sage. These pro-
ceedings, he says, are delayed by the
fact that Mr.. Gould is beyond the
jurisdiction of the courts, and that,
in the absence of eXtradition treaties.
he can only be brought back for trial by
executive request through diplomatic
channels, and he informs the president
that formal application for Gould's ren-
ditiOn will be made to the department
of state.

A LEAP YEAR OFFER.

"ScOttie" Asks the Girls to Make

mercial Traveller Editor of the
Globe.
| had the pleasure of seven days

cept the millions of flying particles of

of mud was the chief attraction to be
seen in the SANITY City Oh the shores
of the Mississippi. On my return | got
your issue of Dec. 81, in which OBJ
serve "YnOt'' has issued his valedic-
tory. and must express my regret that
he has arrived at this decision. as his
letters have always been source of
profound enjoyment to the evangeliStS
in this part of the country, and join
ANTE Lucem" in asking him to recon-
slider the matter, and continue with us
for Il little while longer. And. to be
emphatic, / believe that when moral
suasion is failure physical force is a
never-failing remedy. Look to it, my
lord, and give it thy attention.
Can the editor inform me what "Ante
Lucem had for dinner the day he wrote
his visionary Screed for the Christmas
number? Were he "ScOttie,' | could
assume an extra heavy attack on plum
pudding would cause such a terrible
result and if | mistake not, this was
what caused Scotland's greatest bard
and genius to write his famous Tam o.
Shanter." Without plum pudding and
the accompanying adjunct eau-de-v-ie,
without which plum pudding is ''stale,
fiat, and Improbable" we should have
never had the pleasure of reading the
best visionary production of modern
times. excepting first, "Ante Lucem'S"
vision and next, Dante'S Inferno, all
firSt-rate in their own peculiar style.
The majority of the boys are out
rustling with spring goods. Already
many old familiar faces are to be seen
and several new ohes. This might be a
good opportunity, at the beginning of
the year, for some of the old time boys
to take more interest in the Commercial
Travellers column, and send in an Oc-
caSiOnal contribution. Tom, why don't
you get after some of those pioneers and
make them toe the mark? Some of them
plead lack of time, mOdesty, and have a
hundred other excuses. but | guess
laZiness is the proper diagnosis of the
complaint.
A good story is told about James
NculleS, superintendent 10 IerlllS "
Gentles, of st. Louis. When on the
road he was seldom at home except on
Sunday, and on one particular visit he
had occasion to chastise his eldest hope
full. AS soon as the single seance was
over, the child ran crying into the house.
why, Johnnie, what's the matteI?"
asked the mother in alarm.
That big fellows been licking me-"
whispered the boy.
"W hat big fellow do you mean, John
nie?"
"Why that big tough-looking man
what boards here on Sunday" replied
the urchin, with gulp.

/ find the time, have few suggestions
to give you next week on this subject to

A KING THROWS PLATES.
The Funny Freaks Of the Youth
full Ruler of Greece---He Sends a
ShiplOad Of Violets to His
Amt

The Funny Freaks Of the Youth
full Ruler of Greece---He Sends a
ShiplOad OF Violets to His
Aunt.
An amusing story is going the rounds
OF the foreign papers about the king OF
Greece, who is, as is we'll known, the
Princess of Wales younger brother
When Prince George was chosen king
of the Hellenes he was lad of seven
teen or eighteen, and in a state of tute-
lage at the Royal Naval School
of Denmark. His father had not
attained to kingly honOrs until some
which am writing, says Kath-
leen, in the Leeds Mercury. The
story goes that the young prince one
day when luncheon time arrived flung
down his books gayly, and rushed out to
the pastry cooks in schoolbOy fashion
to buy some tarts, and sat on bench
eating them and swinging his feet,
without any thought, suppose, beyond
the present moment.
The tarts had been wrapped up in a
piece OF newspaper, and Prince George
was just in the act of shying paper at
the head of school-fellOw when he
saw his own name in big letters at the
top of column. George careleSSly read
it, and it is not difficult to conceive the
lads amaZement when a few lines in a
scrap of paper acquainted him with the
destiny before him, and that he had
been chosen by the great powers as the
king of Greece.
But his gracious majesty was evil
IDENTIFY, still but SchOOlbOy, for we are
further told that on his way through
France to MarSeilles, where the young
king was to embark for mis- new dOmin-
ions, the emperor of the French had
placed very sumptuOus saloon car
riage. with dining compartment, at his
majesty's disposal. King George was
charmed with the novelty of the affair.
and presently took the idea into his head
that he would test the speed of the
train by throwing a plate out of the
tory mode of passing the time that he
kept his attendants busy in supplying
him with crockery. Keeping up this
novel entertainment, the natural result
was that when the train reached Mar
settles not piece of crOckery remained.
In the possession of a very bOyiSh
sense of humOr, fancy Prince George
of Wales must take after his uncle, for
the story goes that when his royal high
ness is at home he keeps Marlborough
house, or Sandringham, in state of the
liveliest cOmmOtiOn with a series of
wild practical Jokes; and the other day,
when in the Mediterranean; being re-
QueSted by the Duchess of Edinburgh
to send her "a few viOlets,' he sent her
small shipload, and the violets liter
ally arrived in carloads at Clarence
house, to the mingled amaZement and
amusement OF his august aunt

TWO BRISK FIRES.
indianapolis and Detroit Stirred
Up by Serious BlaZeS.

IuuiunapOiiS anu DetfOit StifftO
Upby Serious Blazes.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. ia
fierce fire has been raging in the whole
sale district, on South Meridian street,
for an hour, and is not yet under con-
troll. Two large concerns have been
burned out, and several others are in
danger.
1:30 a. m.-The fire is now apparently
under control. The new union passen-
believed the flames will be checked
before reaching it. 1t is impoS-
Sible to give losses tonight, but
all the firms carried heavy stocks and
rough estimates vary from S750,000 to
Sl,0O0,000. The loss on both buildings
and stocks seem at this hour almost total
and the salvage will be small. The in
surance is supposed to be heavy, but no
figures can be obtained tonight.
DETROIT, Jan. 13.-The Arcade build
ing, three-story brick structure on
Larned street, adjoining the Free Press
and occupied by a number of weekly
publications and job printing estab-
liShmentS, was completely Quilted
by fire about 1:30 tonight.
The smoke from the burning
building penetrated the Free Press
building, compelling the cOmpOsitorS
and editors to leave with short cere-
mony. At 1880 a. IN. the fire is still
burning fiercely, but it is now believed
that it will be confined to the
Arcade building. No estimate
of the loss can be given
but it will be quite heavy. The total
loss will aggregate $4,000, of which
$4,000 is on the building and the re-
mainder distributed among several
firms. Insurance unknown.

eulogistic of the great singer. Next
to Jenny Lind's room, corrected by a
door covered with portiers, was the room
of her husband. In it stood grand
piano, and often Mr.. Goldschmidt
played on this instrument at night until
his wife, who was nervous at times,
was, by his performance, lulled to sleep.
The FAMILY sat down to lunch at
o'clock. Jenny Lind was a moderate
eater and fond of simple cuisine. In
the afternoon she took walk when the
weather was fine, and, purse in hand,
distributed aims to the poor whom she
met. When she came home she taught
her select circle of pupils, and at Z
O'Clock she sat down to dinner. She
never went to theaters, balls or operas.
She went to hear Patti sing once, but
she left the hall before the performance
was over, saying that Patti could act,
but she couldn't sing. She was rather
sensitive on the subject of her rivals.
She attended, not long since, garden
party given by Lady Burdett-Coutts.
In the course OF conversation gentle
man speaking of Christine Nillson,
called her the Swedish Nightingale"
Instantly there sprang up from seat
close by, an aged, thin woman, who
pointed her finger at the speaker and

rage, "Iou are wrong, sir, you are
grossly wrong: L am the Swedish
Nightingale L am Jenny Lindr'
She liked to read aloud in the evening
or she chatted about her triumphs to
her favOrite pupils. Though she pos
seSsed magnificent jewels, she never
wore them. She was exceedingly fond
of her husband, though they had dis
agreements at times, and she always
said that 1t was owing to Mr.. Gold
schmidt's management that she was i'm
such easy financial circumstances. She
brought up her children well. Her son,
Walter, is lawyer; her son, Ernest, is
an officer in the army; her daughter,
Jennie. was married to j. III. Maude.
She spent her summers partly at Wies-
baden and partly at KainZenbad. At
Wiesbaden, whittier she went to take
the baths for her rhe umatism, she lived
at her own villa,
