rough. My wife is quite sick. She has not got

number, not because l am indebted TO you but
because since you have been here have met

you were. They tell me you made America I'd

Ha ha! ha Old fellow, heard lots of things
which am afraid to commit even to the pho

The exhibition in Paris was not altogether q
credit to America, but there are many reasons
why this should have been so. OF course you
must know that | made a special effort, and
must say feel fully repaid for the expense and

in most kindly sort of manner. Mrs. Edison

1t Is an Unpleasant Proceeding if Your

Sup in my country" said Congress
man to Washington Post reporter, there
is an old chap who lives on a farm three
miles out. 1t is fine farm and old Hoxey
has tidy penny put by. But he has an
overwhelming ambition to be politician
Last fall he was nominated for County
Surveyor. As soon as the nomination was
made he proceeded to fill up himself and
the crowd About 10 o'clock in the even
ing he announced his departure.
"'Mush go home" said he. Hic-'por-

"He unhitched his span, and after sew
eraI futile efforts climbed into the Jackson
wagon and started home. The docile
horses knew the way, and when he pulled
them into the ditch in his weary efforts to
increase their speed would patiently clint
back inss the road and go on. Finally they
wheeled into his yard and stopped by the
kitchen door. Hoxey promptly tumbled
out and crawled into the house, where he
called his wife She had retired, but came
out, candle in hand.

THE FERRY SCANDAL.
They Have Returned from Paris and Now
Reside Under the Same Roof.

Reside Under the Same Roof.
TACOMA, October 20th.-Mrs. c. P Ferry
arrived in Tacoma few days ago with her
little daughter and took apartments at the
Tacoma Hotel. Since that time her coun-
sci has been in daily consultation with Mr..
Ferry and his counsel, looking to definite
understanding between the parties TO the
famous divorce suits, one of which is pend
ing here and the other in San Francisco.
Counsel for Mrs. Perry stated to your
correspondent tonight that the desired
understanding had been arrived at and that
the divorce proceedings would be continued
by Mr.. Ferry and not contested by the
wife. Under Heterogeneous effected Mrs.
Ferry will take one OF the children and he
the other. He will pay Mrs. Ferry $60,-
900. There will be no trial in Court or no
obnoxious allegations the grounds for a
divorce being simply incompatibility of
temper.
Mr. and Mrs. Ferry are living at the same
hotel and have been since her arrival here.
Both she and her child have been i'll and
little has been seen of her.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ferry have not come face
to face since their arrival here, or indeed
since they left Paris. Mr.. Ferry has been
seen out driving several times with the
child, which led TO rumors that recon-
ciliation was on foot, but developments
show this to be untrue.

ARCHBISHOP coRR1GAN.
1t is Said He Has Number of Enemies
in Rome.

in Rome.
ROME, October 20th.-A correspondent
talked yesterday with Monsignor Morceni,
the Papal Under Secretary of State, who
thinks it is mistake about Archbishop
Corrigan, of New York, being summoned
to Rome. The Archbishop of New York
has powerful enemies in Rome, as be
knows. His alleged financial spies spoken
of among prelates here have repeatedly
urged the Pope to interfere.
This week the Cronacduerd, of Rome,
openly declared that the Catholic arch
diocese of New York was dissatisfied with
Corrigan's conduct, but no official COM
plant has reached the Vatican. The Under
Secretary implied that his Holiness is well
satisfied with Corrigan.
what about the Bishop of Cleveland ?''
THAT l know nothing about" replied
the Under Secretary. The affairs of the
Catholic Church in the United States are
regulated by the Propaganda, which may
have appointed an investigation comm sion
for some purpose of their own. Certainly
the Pope has not appointed such commits
sion, though his approval must have been
asked"
Thus the matters remain, but from pri.
vate sources of information from American
prelates here it was learned that things are
not going smoothly in Bishop Gilmore's
diocese

A Sovereign Who is in Constant Dread
of Being Murdered.
BERLIN, October 20th.-The safe arrival
of the Imperial party at Gatschina has re-
lieved the official mind. No precautions
seemed to satisfy the Russian officers.
Count Schouyalof fortified the Russian
Embassy. Six Russian artisans, especially
attached to the Cars retinue, examined
the walls, flooring and furniture of the
Embassy and inserted CRATE bars in the
tops and bottoms of the chimneys. Sem
tries were also stationed upon the roof, ap-
parently to prevent explosives being thrown
down the fues. The Berlin secret police
assisted the Russian detectives as far as the
frontier.
In accordance with the Cars desire, the
railway bridges at Neustadt, Drschau,
Marienburg, and all the streets of Danzig,
were guarded by troops. Until the Gar left
Dantzig even the officials were not allowed
to know whether he would board his yacht
or make the journey by rail. When the
train started, orders were telegraphed to
put 90, 900 Russian troops in motion to pro-
tect his life

Bill Goodies Plucky Fight-Slavin, the
Australian Hard-Hitter.

LONDON, October 10th. = The boxing
match between Slavin, the Australian, and
Bill Goode, the middle-weight English
champion, for f4G0, was the best thing of
the kind seen in London for long time.
Goode gave away five inches in hight, a
good deal in reach and thirty pounos in
weight, but despite this made one of the
pluckiest fights on record. In the first
round he landed on Slavin three times for
every blow received, and though the Aus
tralian fought with confidence from the
start he was evidently puzzled by the stand
the little fellow made In the third round
Goode was twice knocked down, and when
he came up for the fourth round he was
beaten. Slavin, who is a slogger of no
mean order, delivers a tremendous blow.
He is fairly active, but in science is only
second-rate. Sullivan, or even Kilrain,
could beat him easily.
JAcKsoNs ENGAGEMENT.
Peter jackson, the pugilist, is training
for his match with Smith. There is little
betting at even money, Jackson being
slightly the favorite. Slavin accepts Jack
sons challenge to fight any style, ten
rounds, or to finish with gloves or bare
knuckles, London rules. Tom Lees also
puts up ESQ as a guarantee to fight jack
son. The English fighters do not draw the
color line, and laugh at the action of
American sloggers. They promise to give
Peter all the fight he wants.

ROME, October 20th.-The Pope to-day
gave an audience to part of the French
pilgrims, and delivered an address to them.
He appeared feeble and his voice was al
most inaudible. He reiterated the pro-
tests against the attitude of the Italian
Government against the Papacy.
The Pope advised the formation of an
association which would be devoted to Sc
curing the material welfare of the work
ipgmeD, by purchasing increased facilities
for labor, and intoxicating the principles of
economy and defending the rights and
legitimate claims of workmen
He expressed the hopes that the Govern
ments everywhere would treat the working
classes with kindness, and endeavor to
restrain the tendencies toward luxury and
ar undue desire for wealth.
