printing of his testimony. when he may
be recalled upon some point suggested by

ested in the Samoan situation and is
anxious to return to his post, but is more
anxious that the people of the United
States should arouse themselves to an
intelligent appreciation of the importance
of maintaining the independence of the
islands in order to thus properly maintain
an interest there.

THE CASE ALTERED.
Strange Disclosure in the Case
of Mrs. Fairchild.
An Attempt to Extort Money
Falls Through.
Distressing Death Of a Famous
Operatic Singer.
The Secret Trent Out.

CHICAGO, Jan. l7.-There was a strange
disclosure to day in the case of Mrs.
Naomi Fairchild, who claims to be the
widow OF the wealthy supposed bachelor
lumberman, Walter s. Babcock, who was
mYsteriously murdered last year at the
house of Miss Sarah Dodge In Gardner,
Ills. Mn. Fairchild has been trying
through the probate court here TO secure
a share of Babcock' estate and had almost
concluaively shown that Babcock actually
did secretly sustain marital relations with
her and has attempted to prove that when
she was apparently in a dying condition
Babcock was married to her BY the Rev.
Nh. Barnes, a Methodist minister. The
testimony of the clergyman left no doubt
that a wedding under the circumstances
described had taken place.
To-day Mrs. Julia Brattan, a sister of
Mrs. Fairchild, was on the stand and the
fact crept out that the minister at her
marriage was the same Mr.. Burns. Cross
questioning soon developed the fact that
in every detail of time, plac9 and man
ner, the Brattan marriage was identical
with the alleged marriage of Mrs. Fair
child to Col. Babcock. The trial was at
once adjourned and the opinion is that
Mrs. Fairchild's case has fallen fat.

caused Saturday when it was learned that

vealed through an investigation by the
lodge as to the proper person to pay the
benefits due the relatives of Borst.

The Duties of Public Officials.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE presi-
dent has returned to the senate without
his approval the bill to pay SO, 500 to
William B. Wheaton and Charles II.
Chamberlain, for many years prior to
1879 register and receiver of the land of
fee at San francisco. The two officers
were required by an order issued July l,
1877, TO turn thereafter into the treasury
certain fees they had prior to. that time
retained. Feb. Is, 1879, they we're al
lowed two clerks and the presi-
dent says 1t is proposed upon the theory
that the clerks were employed to do work,
for which fees were formerly allowed, to
reimburse the officers for the amount paid
for clerk hire between the time the re-
tention of fees was stopped and the time
the clerks were authorized TO be employed
and paid out OF the public treasury.
The president says the officers had
notice that such employment and pay
ment would not be approved by the gov
eminent and adds:
81 am decidedly of the opinion that the
relations, duties and obligations of subor-
dinates in the public employment should
be clearly defined and strictly limited.
They should not be permitted to Judge of
the propriety or necessity of mourning
xponses IN behalf Of the government
without authority, much less is disregard
OF orders, and yet there are cases when in
an emergency money is paid for tho ben
eft Of the public service by officials, which
though not strictly authorized ought in
equity to be reimbursed"
IF the present case is one of equity"
Fhn rra,1Inrt sA. u.u,Eal
amount expended by the bencfciaries
from their private funds for doing this
work, and the amount found paid
allowed"
Such statement nowhere appears, and
the president thinks the bencfciaries
should be required to establish the AMOUNT
so paid out before reimbursement is
made.

Another Secret Motor.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE Triple
Thermic Motor company, a concern with
a secret, is greatly put out because two
clergymen have brought it to public notice
by quarreling over the disposition of its
stock. The company has been trcmend-
ously careful of late not to let anyone
know that it is proposed 10 revolutionizo
modern methods of transportation by an
unknown process, but Rev. Thomas NJ.
Colwell and Rev. George 4. Warren for
got all about this and got into a quarrel
which has let the cat out of the bag. Rev.
Colwells brother. who is the inventor of
the motor. proposes to dispense with the
use of steam and in its place use only a BIZ
sulphate Of carbon TO run every engine i n
the world. The plant is very expensive,
but it will run forever at next to nothing.
Rev. Colwell got his brother pastor, Rev.
Warren, to push the stock among his
flock, Mr. Warren to get half of all the
money received for sales. Brother War
rem must have sold at least $44, 900 worth
of stock, for his suit is for So, 900 com-
missions earned. Rev. Colwell is pastor
Of the Baptist church at Mount Vernon
and Rev. Warren of the Baptist church at
Newark.

The Country Seal of the souIds

The family had OF late years spent its
winters unostcntstiously at the magnif-
cent family homo on Fifth avenue, near
the Windsor hotel, and its summers at its
beautiful retreat near Irvington, on the
Hudson. Here the Goulds have a charm
ing old fashioned country house, sur
rounded by beautiful grounds, command
ing a view of the Hudson and palisades
surpassed by nonc in that famous locality
Of palstial summcr homes. The sur
roundlngs Of the house include one of the
most extensive o~onscrYatorics in New
York State, and Mr.. Gould, who is a
good deal of a foriculturist, spends much
of his spare tine among his rare and
beautiful flowers. From the front of the
house a lawn slopes at a sharp incline to-
ward the Hudson, which is several hun.
drcd feet below. and at the foot of the
lawn there is a wide stretch of thickly
wooded ground. The family consists of
two daughters-the Misses Nellie and
Annie Gould-and three sons-George,
Edwin and Howard. One of the daugh-
tiers is just grown up and the other verges
on womanhood. They arc not beautiful
girls, but they have very pleasant and
attractive iaces.
Mr.. Gould's conservatory, which is the
largest in the country, and contains per-
haps the most varied collection of valua-
able plants on this side of the water, was
burned down Saturday, Dec. II, 1850.
The loss was estimated at the time at.
5000. 600, but a far greater loss was en-.
tailed by the destruction of the rare
botanical specimens which Mr.. Gould had
collected during ten years of careful de-
votion to the subject. The conservatory
has, of course. long been rebuilt. Mr..
Gould has, to a great extent, if not fully,
restored his unique collection OF plants.
The rose house, which is perhaps the
most delightful part OF the conservatory,
is filled with the finest summer and win
ter roses to be found in the United States.
In another section are a vast variety of
pinks, agawas from Mexico and South
America, cold house palms, Indian aza-
las, and other winter blooming plants.
Altogether the conservatory contains
nearly 400 varieties of plants and tree
ferns. besides a vast collection of smaller
plants

stroyed the German missionary station al
Tuga, fifteen miles west of Dares Sa-
lem. The majority of the slaves cap.

sionary escaped, but eight were massacred.
Three bodies, one that of a woman, were

carried off the servants and slaves. The
French missionary stations near Tugs are
in imminent danger. The Arabs are nov
