Story of an American Captain
 About a Cannon Ball.
 The American schooner Carrie A. Bucknam, which arrived at the port of New York from San Domingo City with a full cargo of sugar, reports having been chased by Dominican man-of-war off tho coast of San Domingo Her captain, A. T. Stubbs, said that the gun boat came upon the schooner unex pectedly and fired without the least provocation. The shot would have struck the schooner had the latter been few yards closer. The Buck nam reached San Domingo harbor on March 13, being in ballast and haing from Cura- coa After taking in T full cargo of sugar she sailed at midnight on March l9 for New York, making for the Mona lnssaSe between the islands of Porto Rico and San Domingo. The crew, including the captains wife who accompanies him on his voyages, numbered eight.
 On March 21, while the Captain was below at dinner he was summoned by Mate Cobb. who called his attention to q long yacht-likc craft which was sieamng towards them. They were then of Saouo Island, and the steamer was coming from the direction of Cutuano Straits, which separate SaOnQ Island and the Island of San Domingo. Capt: Stuhbs found that Inc was being chased by an armed vessel. He then ordered the Am erican flag run up to the peak, after which he took the wheel and the course of the vessel was changed more to the eastward. She then ran for Mona Island, about fifteen miles dis tant. When near the Island the war vessel fired one shot which fell into the sea about fifty yards astern. She then put about aud shortly afterward disappeared. Capt. Stnbbs thinks the vessel is the Dominican man-of- war Ell Presidente, but is at a loss to know why he should be chased and fired at upon the high seas. He will lay his complaint before l the authorities at Washington

HARVARD MEN MUST WORK.
New Rules to Secure Better Dfscip-

New Rules to Secure Better Discip-
 line Go Into Effect.
 The new rules for the government of the undergraduates at Harvard University have gone into effect, excepting the first one, which places future freshmen classes under the Spe- rial Committee of the Faculty, each member of which is to act as an adviser to a certain number of students. One of the new rules provides that returns of absence from college exercises are to be made daily. rather startling rule is this: "A student who has been put on probation cannot compete for any prizes or honors, nor take part Tn any public theatrical or musical performance or athletic contest nor will he be recommended Tor a degree. He may be required to put him. self under the direction of private tutor or to report daily to the college officer, or to do both." In regard to scholarship the new rode provides that every student is required to satisfy the instructor in each of his courses of study, in such 0 way as the instructor may determine, that he is performing the work of the course in a systematic manner. 1nstruc- tors will provide suit able tests (either for all or part of their stndents) with sufficient frequency to give effect to this regulation, and will report at once to the dean the names of any students who have not satisfied them that they are doing their work systematical- ly. Admonition for neglect of duty may be | administered by the dean at his discretion without vote of the faculty, and the names of students so admonished shall be reported to the faculty at its next meeting.

FIVE WHITE CAPS SHOT.
Supervisor LansfOrd's Son Wound.

 cd in the Fight.
 A despatch from Evansville, Ind, says: The White Caps, unterriied by recent prose cutions and rather emboldened by the releasc and acquittal of 0 number of the band, have commenced fresh depredations in Warrick and DuBoise counties. John Lansford is q road supervisor in Madison township, Du- Boise county, and one of his duties is to i'm pound stray hogs He received a notice from the White Caps in regulation style to pounded were the property of poor people unable to pay fines, and if the hogs were not promptly released he would be visited and compelled to surrender them.
 Shortly afterwards Lnnsford was awakened by body of twenty masked men who dc manded the hogs. He refused to give them np, and the men proceeded to go through his premises He warned them to desist, and when they disregarded him he opened fire with a double-barreled shot gun, wounding two at the first shot. The White Caps imme- diately returned the fire through the windows of the house wounding young son of Laus- ford. The old man took down q brace of seven- shooters after discharging his gun, and contin ued to pour lead into the ranks of his assail- ants. The latter, after discharging their weapons, retreated, bearing three of their wounded comrades out of the yard. One of the wounded men has been identified, and through him it is learned that the White Caps were wounded. Lansford's son re- ceived flesh wound that is not serious. Lansford thinks he knows several of the White Caps.
 White Caps also appeared near Newburgh, Warwick county. band of ten visited the house of w. T. Masterson, who, it is alleged, does not provide for his family.

HONESTY AND mTELLIdEHoE
It pays to be honest, you say.

NT8nCcO.
 Yet how many are dishonest through | ignorance expectancy, or intentionally. One can be dishonest and yet say nothing. | A clerk who let's customer buy damaged piece of goods, a witness who holds back the | truth which would clear Q prisoner, a medical practitioner who takes his patients money when he knows he is doing him no good,-all are culpably dishonest.
 Speaking of the dishonesty of medical men reminds us that only the past week there has | come under our personal observation form of dishonesty which is almost too mean for | narration.
 It is generally known that doctors bind themselves by codes, resolutions and oaths | not to use any advertised medicines. Now, there is q medicine on the market which, for tho past ten years, has accomplished mar velous amount of good in the cure of Kidney and Liver diseases, and diseases arising from the Arrangement of these great organe.-we refer to Warmers Safe Cure. So widespread arc the merits of this medicine that the majority of the doctors of this country know from actual evidence that it will cure Ad- vanced Kidney Disease, which is but another name for Brights Disease.
 Tho medical profession have put themselves on record as admitting that there is no cure for this terrible malady, yet there are physicians base enough and dishonest enough to procure | Warmers Safe Cure in a surreptitious manner, | put the same into plain, four-ounce vials, and charge their patients $2. % per vial, when Q sixteen ounce bottle of the remedy in it's original package, can be bought at any drug store in the world for $1. .25.
 Perhaps the doctor argues that the cure of the patient jhstfcs his dishonesty, yet he will boldly stand up at the next county medi- cal meeting and denounce Warmers Safe Cure as patent medicine, and one which he can not and will not use.
 The fact is that the people are waking up l to the truth that the medical profession is far | from honest, and that it does not possess & monopoly of wisdom in the curing of disease, doctoring the many symptoms of kidney dis ease, instead of striking at the seat of disease the kidneys ves,-alowing patients to die rather than use remedy known to be 8 specific simply because it has been adver- tised. and wher4 patients are dead from Advanced Kidney Disease, still practicing de- ception by giving the cause of death in their certificate as pneum onia, dropsy, heart dis ease, or some other accompanying effect of Bright's Disease.
 All this is "prima facie' evidence of incom- potency, bigotry and dishonesty.
 We speak but the truth when we say that Messrs. H. H. Warner X Co. have done O most philanthropic work for the past ten years in educating the people up to the knowledge they now enjoy, especially of maladies growing out of diseases of the Kid neys and Liver, and are deserving of all praise for their honesty and straightforwardness in exposing shams and dishonesty of all kinds.

Washington or Adams, Which |?

A curious complication has arisen at Bos- ton over the question as to the original of the bust on the east side of Doric Hall. in the State House-whether it is the counter feit presentment of Samuel Adams, as the label alleges, or George Washington, as some believe, or of neither of these patriots.as oth- ITS contend. The question is one which bids fair to stand alongside the letters of Junius, the gentleman who assaulted Mir. Vim Pat terson, or any other of the unsolvable prob
 cms which have frctted humanity. Early in the session the veracity of the bust's legend was called in question by Mir. Sohier, of Bev- erly. The Soions finally decides to photo graph it so as to compare it with genuine bust of Washington in Christ Church. The sculptress, Annie Whitney declared that the State House bust is that of Washington, and she further declares that the Washington hust, in Christ Church for eighty nine years, h | vils impostusv. heated controversy is .n4ss e fpJ5op-

McCIaughrcy Still Holds Up His
 Head.

A despatch from Chicago says; Old Farmer MeCiaughrey, who was sentenced to the peni- tentiary for two years for swindling Cook county while acting as Q County Commis sioner, was released recently, having been pardoned by Gov. Fifer one month before the expiration of his sentence. When all the booders were sentenced old McClaughrey was the only one to take his gruel without appeal ing to the Supreme Court. He'went to Joliet on the first train, and thus goes free almost 8 year before the expiration of the sentence of bis colleagues. A convict asked the old man if he was going to go home in the evening, as is the custom of prisoners when released. McClaughrsy strnightened himself up, and replied in his homely way: Not much, I ain't. I kem here in the broad light of day. and now that ean go away. I'm not goin' to sneak of in the dark like criminal I'm going out in the morning in the bright sun light, and don't care a copper who's around to see me go, either"

RUssELL's STIRRING PLEA.
He Sets Forth Eloquently the Inno'
 cencc of Parnell.

COuCC oA
 Sir Charles Russell has closed his speech on behalf of Parnell and his associates. Con- mencing with these siugularly appropriate lines,
 Call him the blackest names, spread calum. nies,
 All art can think and pregnant spirit de. wise;
 Strike home, gash decp no lies nor islander A wound, though cured, yet leaves behind scar,
 he concluded as follows: "My lords, have come to an end. 1 have spoken not merely as an advocate, have spoken of the land of my birth; but l feel, profoundly feel, that have been speaking in the best interests of England of the country where my labOrious life have been passed, and where have re- ceived kindness and consideration and regard which shall be glad to make an attempt to repay. My lords, my colleagues and myself have had responsible duty. We have had to defend not merely the leaders of Il nation but nation iself-to defend the leaders of a nation whom it was sought to crush, to de lend q nation whose hopes it was sough to dash to the ground This inquiry, intended as n curse, has proved a blessing Designed prominently designed, to ruin one man, it has been his vindcation. In opening this case l said We represented the accused. l POW claim leave To say the positions arc re- NcrSeu. we are the GccuSerS.. l uc uCCuScO are thcrc. [Pointing scornfllly at Mir. Wal ter and Mir. Macdonald of tho "Times. But l hope this inquiry, in it's present stage and future development, will serve even more than the vindication of ipdividuals; that it will remove painful misconceptions as to the character, actions, motives, and nims of the Irish people and of the leaders of the Irish people; that it will set earnest minds-and, thank God, there are many earnest and hon. est minds in this country-thinkingf for them selves upon this question: thatit will remove grievous misconceptions and hasten the day of true union and of real reconciliation between the people of Ireland and the people Of Great Britain; and that with the advent of true union and rcconciliat!un there will be dis pelled, and dispelled forever, the cloud, the weighty cloud, that has rested on the history of a noble man and dimmcd the glory of mighty empire"
 Toward the close Russelrs voice began to falter. More than once he had to brush tears from his eyes, and when at length he sank into his seat the nervous strain of six days of almost continuous speaking, and the pcnt-up excitement and emotion of months, found vent, and the strong man sobbcd like child. There were many others, men we'll as women, who shed tears, and were not ashamed oft. Even President Harhen lost his judicial balance, aud, being too much moved to speak, tremblingly wrote on slip of paper warm expression of congratula- ton and admiration, and passed it down to Russell.
