There is a tree which is native in
Central and South America called
Theobroma Cacao. The seeds of

the fruit OF this tree furnish Messrs. & C. Blocker
of Amsterdam, Holland, the sole material for the
manufacture of their delicious cocoa
Theobroma means food for the gods, and the Amer.
lean people fast realizing that what is good enough
for the gods is quite good enough for citizens of this
republic. But the gods surely did not aduterate their
cocoa: No more does Blocker. So it costs 81 per
pound and goes farther than the adulterated article
because it is concentrated and purer One pound
makes $50 cups. Sold by leading grocers.

New YORK, Oct 3.-The house of depu-
ties of the general Episcopal convention
met this morning and standing committees
appointed. A petition was presented ask
ing that Oregon be admitted as diocese.
The deputies from Oregon admitted TO
sittings read a report on their admission
Rev. Davis, of Pennsylvania. presented
a report on the "Liturgical revision" from
the committee on that subject appointed by
the general committee. 1t was made the
special order for next Thursday.
a deputatiOn from the synod of Canada
was received and courteous speeches ex-
changed.
Notice was given of minority report on
''Liturgical revision The consideration
of the report suggesting alterations and
additions to the book of common prayer
was then taken up. Those relating TO the
reading of the Psaimsand Aoly Scriptures
and change in the order of the daily
morning prayer in opening sentences are
the same and in the rubric following the
''Venite' adopted. In all seven churches
approved it, but the eighth changing the
rubric pretixed to the lltany was rejected.
Several resolutions were adopted and
message received from the house OF bish-
ops announcing that it had adopted, condi-
tionalson the concurrence of the house of
deputies, the entire eighteen resolutions
upon which the deputies had been voting
all day.
The twelfth resolution then came up for
consideration, and DR.. Eager, Of New
York, spoke in support of it. 1t was in
order for the administration of the Lords
supper for the rubrc, Then shall be read
the Apostles or Nicene creed to substi-
tut9 the following RIB ic, placing it after
the creed: "Then shall be said the
creed, commonly called the Nicene or
else the Apostles creed, but the creed
may be omitted if it hath been said imme-
diately before in the morning prayer; pro-
vided that the Nicene creed shall be said
on Christmas day, Easter day, Ascension
day, Whitsunday and Trinity Sunday"
DR.. Eager said the Nicene creed formed
part of the doctrine of the church and
since many priests never read it, it should
be made obligatory.
S Coaning Judd, one of the Chicago lay
delegates, Rev. Arthur Lawrence of Mas
sachusetts, and the Rev. Dr. Goodwin
spoke in opposition to the resolution. The
house adjourned with the question still
pending.

All of this time the mails were very
irregular, and by order of the Russian
authorities, letters hardly ever reached
their destination. The young wife received
no letters from him and he received none
from her until one day letter came to him
with the sad tidings of her death.
Years passed and time healed his sorrow
During all this time the young and beauti-
full wife could get'Qo news of her husband.
Thinking him lost she concluded to visit
this country and learn, if possible, what
had become of him, bringing with her their
son, who had grown to manhood. She
landed in Baltimore, and the son came to
St. Louis and engaged in business. Meet
ing some friends one day, they asked him
where his father was and he told them the
story of his fathers life. They said the son
looked like a man they knew and he sent to
his mother for picture of his father, which
was shown his friends. who took him at
once to that gentleman. But in the mean
time, in July, 1877, the father had married
again, and was living in fine style on one of
the avenues of this city. His first wife
came to see him and the meeting between
them was one of joy and happiness. Both
wives, it is declared, loved the husband,
but the good judgment of the last wife did
not forsake her, and she said she would re-
lease him to again 1--we and love his bride
of the years long gone by. Acting on this
resolution, she has, as stated, employed
Bentley q Peabody to release her and him
from the ties that bind them together,

A MemorabIe Scene at West Point.

WEST POINT, N. Y, Oct. 3.-West Point
TODAY was, the scene of imposing cere-
monies which are destined to become
memorable in the annals. The visit of the
International American congress and the
unwilling of its portraits of Grant, Sheri-
dan and Sherman, presented by George w.
Childs, were the principal features.
The special train containing delegates to
the International American congress
arrived about o'clock Carriages
awaited the delegates and they were
driven to the residence of Superintendent
Wilson, where a distinguished company
had assembled to welcome them. The
booming of cannon announced the arrival
at the post of the distinguished guests.
Secretary of War Proctor was the first
to alight from the carriage and step
upon the veranda of the superintendent
quarters. He was warmly greeted by
General Sherman, General Horace Porter,
General Won Vleet, George w. Childs,
Wayne MacVeigh and the academy.
There was an immense crowd of specta-
tors congregated under the trees on the
edge of the plain. The battalion of cadets
marched in review before the visitors with
machine-like procession of movement, and
the soldierly appearance Of the cadets
elected from the foreigners many compli-
mentary remarks. The battalion marched
to Grant hall, the crowd quickly following,
and t, in a twinkling the hall was iammed
with people.
A platform has been erected at the north
end of the room, where the portraits of the
three great generals-Grant, Sherman and
Sheridan-hung on the wall, each yelled in
a United States flag. The ceremonies were
opened with prayer by the chaplain of the
post, Rev. DR.. PostleJhwaite.
The superintendent then raised his hand,
the tap of drum followed, the flags fell
from the pictures, and they stood revealed
in all their beauty The battalion presented
arms and played Hail Columbia" and the
audience sprang to their feet and cheered.
General Horace Porter was then intro
duced and made the presentation address, in
which he eulogized the three generals and
the donor of the pictures.
Superintendent Wilson in short address
accepted the portraits and Secretary of
War Proctor made few remarks. Cen
eral Sherman, who, during all these cere-
monies, had sat on the platform with
folded hands and teardimmed and down
cost eyes, in response TO many calls, was
next introduced. AS the general arose the
assemblage broke forth into wild cheering.
The old warrier's remarks were few but
every word uttered was eagerly caught by
his hearers
He sail it was one of those strange ap-
pointed accidents of life that he was per-
mitted to be the sole survivor of what
General Porter had termed the great trio
of Generals of the late war" II was
older than Grant or Sheridan, but no three
men ever lived on this earth so different from
each other as the three mems portraits you
are looking at The were different in all
respects save one, and that was in their
devotion to their country. OF whatever
talents they possessed, they were joined
together in the true hearted service of
their country"
This evening reception was held at the

A VERY SENSIBLE LAND DECISION.

"A Great Peat Fire-The Rotterdam
Strike Ended-Queen Natalie.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-The delegates to
the International American congress were
astir early to prepare for the long trip ar
ranged for them by the department Of
state. They partook of an early breakfast,
then made their way to the Pennsylvania
railway station, and were received by Will
liam Curtis, special agent of the state de-
partment, IN charge of the excursion. At
Sis the train started on the journey. The
first stop will be made at Jersey City at
AS p m. The Hon. John B. Henderson,
president pro tenn, missed the train, but
will join the delegation at West Point this
evening.
The Pan-American excursion train
reached Jersey City at 3:15 this after
noon, having been delayed by hot boxes !;
the run was otherwise unev9ntful.
Mr.. Henderson, chairman of the United
States delegation, managed to catch his
colleagues at Baltimore Secretary Proc
tor occupied seat in the car Columbus,
having decided at the last moment to &C
company the party as far as West Point,
where he will view the military parade.
There have been some changes in the list
of excursionists. The delegates from the
Argentine Republic were absent; Messrs.
Estee and Hanson, of the American delega-
ton, who had intended to join the party
later on, concluded to embark at Washing
ton. Delegates Pereira, of Brazil; Novano
and La Montour, of Mexico; Guzman, of
Nicaragua, and Andrade, of Venezuela, who
were set down as of the party, declined to
go at the last minute. 1t appears that
many of the delegates to the congress are
presumably unacquainted with the luxur-
ious surroundings and conveniences of an
American palace car, and were fearful of
the fatigue in store for them during a tour
lasting forty days.

Deep HARDER Convention.

TOPEKA, Kans., Ocs. 3.-When the Deep
Harbor convention met to-day the commit
tee on resolutions submitted two reports, a
majority and minority. The former favored
the establishment by Congress OF deep
water harbor on the northwest coast of the
Gulf of Mexico The minority report
asked for the construction OF three deep
harbors-one in Texas, one on the Loulsi-
ana coast and another at some place to be
determined upon hereafter. The majority
report was finally adopted.
The majority report states it is the sense
of the convention that it is the duty OF Con
gress to appropriate permanently and for
immediate use whatever amount is neces-
sery to secure deep water harbor on the
northwest coast of the Gulf of Mexico west
of the ODD degree, west longitude, capable
of admitting the largest vessels and at
which the best and most accessible harbor
can be secured and maintained on the
shortest possible time and at the least cost.
The convention a ijourned sine die.

A Sensible Land Decision.

WASHINGTON, Oct.3 .-Commissioner Graf
of the general ladd Office, rendered his first
decision to-day. 1t was the the case of
Johannes Frederick, versus Fred Honse-
lin, on appeal from the decision of the local
land Office at Benson, Minnesota.
The decision appealed on holds that Hon
selin failed to comply with the letter of
the homestead law in that he did not estab-
lish actual residence upon the land within
six months after entry, only digging Gel
Ter and building foundation. The entry
was accordingly cancelled.
Commissioner Croft overrules this deci-
sion and in review of the case finds that
Hanselin, who was poor man, was getting
along as rapidly with the Improvement of
the land and construction of his house as
possible.
The commissioner adds that the six
months rule is not to be insisted upon
where the entryman's good faith toward
the government is sufficiently shown or
where his acts are not inconsistent with an
honest purpose to comply with the law.
He sees no bad faith in this case.
The decision is regarded as important as
indicating the policy of the general land
Office with respect to this class of claims.

A BUNDLE OF LOVE LETTERS.

A Mexican Bellies Attempt to Burn Them Gives
Rise to Story of Three Suicides.
Especial to THE HERALD Examiner Dispatch.l
CITY OF MEXICO, Oct. 3. - Inquiry in
Marcia develops the fact that nothing is
known there about the reported suicide Of
three girls there who had lost money at
! gaming Your correspondent saw the gov
'ernor of the state and other officials, none
of whom knew anything of the affair.
The story may have arisen from an &C
cident which occurred to young lady in
that city recently under very peculiar cir
cumst;lnces. She had gone to the roof Of
the Osegnera hotel to burn bundle of love
letters unobserved, and during the opera
ton her dress caught fire. Several parties
in the court yard of the hotel were at
tracted by her shrieks and seeing the
flames and smoke on the roof rushed to her
assistance They found the young lady
PROSTATE on the roof and enveloped in fire.
Immediate assistance was given her and
the fire was not extenguished until she had
completely lost consciousness and gave no
signs of life but stifed means. She was
transported to a bed in the hotel and re-
AAived the best of medical care. She is
Horribly burned all over her body and her
