New YORK, Dec. 23.-The New England
society celebrated tonight the anniversary
of the landing of the Pilgrim fathers.
Many notables were present, including
General Sherman, General Howard,
Chauncey NJ. Depew, Clinton B. Fiske, c.
p. Huntington, DR.. Guiseman, of Nicura-
qua, and others. In speaking to the toast
''Unsolved problems" Mr.. Depew referred
to the death of Henry w. Grady. He said:
Thirty years ago Robert Toombs, Of
Georgia, one of the ablest and most brilliant
defenders of slavery said in his place in the
United States Senate that ne would yet
call the roll of his bondmen at the feot of
Bunker Hill monument To-day his slaves
are citizens and voters. Cheers. With
in few days a young Georgian, possessed
of equal genius, but imbued with senti-
ments so liberal that the great Senator
would have held him an enemy to the state,
was the guest of Boston. VITA powers of
presentation and fervor of defamation
worthy of the best days and noblest
efforts of eloquence, he stood beneath
the shadow of Bunker Hill and ut
tered opinions justifying the suppression
of the negro vote which were hostile to the
views of every man in his audience, and
yet they give to his argument an eager and
candid hearing and to his oratory unstinted
W
Of Puritan principles and Puritan pluck.
CHEERS They knew, or we knew, that no
system of suffrage can survive the intimi-
dation of the voter or the falsidcatian of
the count. [Cheersl. The public conscience
scared by the approval of fraud upon the
ballot by the virtue and intelligence of
of the community, will soon be Indifferent
to the extension of these methods by the
present Office holders to continue in power,
and arbitrary reversals of the wills of the
majority will end in anarchy and despotism.
This is the burning question not only in
Georgia but in New York. 1t is that gov
eminent for the people should be by the
people. Cheers. No matter how grave
the questions which absorb the Puri
tans' attention or engross their time,
the permanence of their solution
rests upon pure ballot. We forget all
differences of opinion and remember only
his chivalry, patriotism and genius. He
was the leader of the new south and died in
the great work of impressing its marvel
GUS growth and national aspirations upon
the willing ears of the north. His death at
this time at the critical period of the re-
moval forever of all misunderstanding and
differences between all sections of the re-
public, is national calamity"

PARIS, Dec. 23.- by G.. , 80 the New
York World. IA special d. patch from
Madrid reports that the efforts of the au-
thorities to keep down agitatoa N the pro
vince of Oviedo have caused a riot in the
town of Gigon on the north coast. Liber-
ais and Republicans assembled in large
numbers and refused to dispense. The
police were unable to restore order. The
governor general of Oviedo was sent for
and appeared on the scene with two regi-
ments of infantry, when the streets were
cleared and quiet restored. During the
rioting one man was killed and two badly
wounded. A number of arrests were made.
The agitation in Spain in favor of re-
public continues. 1t is not so openly con-
Quoted in Madrid as fortnight ago. The
Republican leaders are as active and busy
as ever, but have turned their attention to
the provinces, where the movement is
gaining strength. The Spanish Republi-
cans are in constant communication with
their political friends in Portugal. CASTELAR,
has all in hand, acting with remarkable
moderation and reserve. He approves of
political agitation within legal bounds and
deprecates violent measures on the part of
the Republicans or government.

ANNALS OF INFLUENZA.
DR.. John B. Hamilton on tit has been
Epidemic Several times Since 1910.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
New YORK. Dec 23-The Herdld's Wash
ington correspondent sends an interview
with DR.. John B. Hamilton, surgeon
general of the marine hospital service, in
regard to influenza, which threatens to be-
come epidemic in New York. d.. Hamil
ton said the disease has made periodical
visitations during the last few hundred
years; it spared no part of the world in its
pilgrimageS
The earliest recorded epidemic of infu-
enza is that of 1910. There were twenty
Visitatiorfs of the same disease, which is
also known as the epidemic catarrh, be-
tween 1910 and 1882 The disease does not
contine itself to men, but frequently affects
the lower animals. In 1852 the SydeGham
society, of London, directed DR.. Theophilus
Thompson to prepare complete chrome
logical history of its visitation, which had
never been published before This work
was published in 1852, under the title of
ANNALS of Influenza, or Epidemics of Ca
tarrhal Fever in Great Britain from 1910
to 1884,"
Among the special articles in this work
is one by DR.. John Warren, of Boston,
written IN 1890, from which it appears that
influenza, then well known III Europe, in
vaded the whole of the United States in
vailed here in November and December, in
Georgia, the most southern state in the
union, in September, and in the British
government of Nova Scotia in December.
ssAt New York" said DR.. Warren, $50 far
as can learn, its appearance was some
what later than here and our beloved
President Washington is but now on the
road to recovery from very severe and
dangerous attack of it in this city"
TDr Hamilton cauS thara iS M d0uht 0f
the disease being one of the germ nature;
that the records show it not to have been
fatal except in rare instances, and it has
rarely remained in any country more than
six weeks.
Dr. Hamilton then gave what might be
called an itinerary of the disease, showing
its appearance in a mild form at different
dates in the past. However, nothing
half so severe as the present epidemic ap-
pears. DIR. Hamilton identifies la grippe
with the epizootic and says the disease is
common both to animals and man.

A QUEER FREAK.
The Wonderful Mesmeric Powers developed in
a Georgia Negro Girl.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
New York, Dec 23-A World special
from Columbia, South Carolina, says:
Daisy Robinson. an ordinary looking
colored girl, twelve years old, is exciting
wonder in the town of Bumter, South
Carolina, by inexplicable manifestations of
some hidden force which seems to follow
her every act The first demonstration
was the falling over of a sideboard upon
the floor and a short while after a water
bucket was thrown from shelf striking
the girl upon the shoulder. Her mother,
thinking that the room was haunted moved
into another, when the same agency moved
tables over the floor, and dishes, pitchers,
smoothing irons and other household
articles could not be kept in their places.
This morning an investigation of the
strange power was made. In the girls
room were a bed, bureau, cupboard and a
small chair. The household crockeryWare,
or rather, all that was left of it, for it had
nearly all been broken, was packed away
in a bucket under the bed. For few min
utes the party was silent, awaiting devel-
opments, but gradually general CONVEX
sation was INDUCED in upon the subject,
each member of the party keeping an eye
on Daisy. Suddenly large, heavy teacup
was thro wn upon the floor 1t spun round
few times and rolled into the fireplace.
Cups, plates, saucers, vases, shovel, tongs,
candlesticks, kerosene lamps and fire dogs
leaped into the centre of the room,
sometimes being broken into atoms,
and then at other times not being
injured at all. The whole room was after
wards examined and was found to be
closely sealed above and all around. The
floor is tight, and a careful examination
from the outside failed to reveal crack
that even ten cent piece could have been
thrown through.
Daisy was removed to another room.
The same singular occurrences manifested
themselves in the new locality. While
Daisy was eating the bedstead in the room
was actually wrenched to pieces by an I'M
seen power. Doctors of medicine and di-
vinity were present at this strange sight
and throughout the day the crowds that
gathered around the house have been so
large that policemen had to be detailed to
keep out the throug. AS yet not the faint
est hint at solution of the matter has
been given

ment of $1,000 fine, was the verdict re-
turned tonight in Judge .Grinnelps court
against James ]. West, ex-editor of the
Chicago Times There was little delay in
reaching verdict, only two ballots being
taken. The crime of which West was con-
victed was that of fraudulent overissue of
stock of the Times company to the extent of
1880 shares, an equivalent of over one hun
dred and twenty-five thousand dollars in
money. When the verdict was announced
the defendant betrayed no great emotion.
His attorney, on the contrary, seemed pain
fully affected and could scarcely be heard
when entering the usual motion for another
trial Judge Grinnell stated he would dis
pose of the motion January 3. West was
released on his original bond of $4,000
until to- morrow morning, when the ques-
tinn of a new bond will be discussed

Disgust with Smith in London.

LONDON, Dec 23.-The ruffianly conduct
of Smiths friends at the ringside has dis
gusted every lover of fair play in the king
dom, and the unjust and cowardly decision
of the referee declaring the fight draw
instead of giving the stakes to Slavin, who
had his man whipped from the start, has
added to the evaporation of sporting men.
One good result has come from the fight,
however, which affords a good deal of con
ISOLATION. The status of Smith as fighter
is as definitely settled as though he had
won the battle easily and fairly, or had
been fairly knocked out, and he certainly
would have been had the fight been per
mitted to go on. AL accounts of the mill
agree that Smith was not in it, and this
fact, together with the action of the thugs
who went to the ringside in his behalf,
will render it impossible for him to ever
again obtain reputable backing, while
every pugilist of reputation will be abun-
dainty justified in treating his attempts to
arrange fight with contempt. When the
news was received at the Pelican club not
a man had good word 10 say for Smith,
while every one praised Slavin. 1t was
proposed to raise testimonial fund of
e5O0 for Slavin, and $500 of the sum was
Immediately subscribed by those present.

Unrolling an Egyptian Mummy.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examlner Dispatch
New YORK, Dec. ga Sun cable saws
they have had gala day at University COL
lege, London, this week, the occasion being
the unrolling of a mummy in the Botanical
theatre of that institution. The deceased
person belonged to the Egyptian peasantry
and had titled the soil on the banks of the
Nile nearly thousand years before Jesus
Christ vas born. Ladies predominated
in the audience, but many scientific men
were present and students were
everywhere. The mummy occupied
the place of honor on table
in the center of the amphitheater, and
when grave-looking DIR. Erickson came in
he was at once dubbed chief mourner The
operator gave many interesting particulars
as he set about unfolding the hundreds of
yards Of cloth, of the Egyptian modes of
burial and the distinction which marked
embalming in the various classes of society.
Presently the cloth showed signs of coming
to an end. The stains grew darker
and darker, until they were black and
the mummy was peeled like an orange. The
lecturer pointed out that it was poor per-
son who had been buried, for his entrails
had been laid between his legs and not
placed in jars, as would have been the case
had he been a rich man. The skin was as
oldCh aS euOHy, DuI The features were cast
in an intelligent mold. The glass eyes
which had been put in after death were
5000 years in the tomb and the color may
have changed. The ladies were intensely
interested, and Rider Haggard, thinking
possibly he might have got hold of real
Harmachis, fondled this ancient corpse,
smelt the cloth, and once, when his emo
lions were overcoming him, he seemed in
clined to wipe the corner of his eye upon
the mortuary drapery. The Egyptian made
really enjoyable afternoons holiday for
posterity 5000 years after his untimely
death.

untimely taking off of this brilliant and pa
triotic man as ever oprung from its soil. ~

Boston, Dec. 23.-The Girls Invincible
league is an organization whose escapades
have Just come to light. In Salem one
morning some time ago flag appeared
high up on the tower of Tabernacle church,
near the base of the spire. How it came
there was mystery. 1t was removed and
interest in tie matter died away when sud
denly the North Church organ, usually a
well behaved instrument, was found to &C t

refuse to work at all Somebody had been
tampering with the water motor and had
left the water turned on, thereby depriv
ing the bellows temporarily of their use
fulness. Then it was found that somebody
had been through the church evidently on
mischief bent. There was a fresh crack in
the ceiling and the plastering indicated
that some heavy pressure had been brought
to bear against it. pin the belfry there
were burnt matches dropped on the floor
Some one had been in the attic and out
over the auditorium. In the belfry and in
several of the choir books, it is said, were
found the names of four young girls writ
ten in fair hand. To the surprise of the
investigators each signature bore the name
of well known family in Salem. There
was, too, the date on which it was evident
the quartette had visited the church. The
deacons took the matter up and the fathers
of the young women were informed the
girls made full and penitent confession
and ample apology from their parents fol-
lowed.
1t was learned from the girls that they
formed the league, each member of which
bound herself to do what her leader did.
They had formed the idea of climbing
every church tower in Salem, and in pur-
suance of their design, visited not only
North, but tabernacle and South church
tower, leaving flag at the Tabernacle. At
North church entrance was made by taking
off the outside grating and passing in
through the PASTORS room and through the
church to the tower. From the belfry the
girls got into the attic and walked out on
the great beam, one of them nearly losing
her balance and narrowly escaping going
down through the plastering into the audi
toIium far below. 1t was she who cracked
the ceiling. The oldest of the participants
in this escapade is said to be sixteen
years of age and the youngest fourteen.

is by no means settled down to harmon
ious existence according to reports which
are received here from that country. The
provinces of Para and Rio Grande show
decided tendency to separate from the cen
tral government and they desire to
establish special protective tariffs.
Whether this will amount to anything or
not is simply one of the countless minor
disputes which must necessarily arise be-
fore the republic is established homogen-
eously and cannot be very well Judged
from information at hand. Since the i'll
ness of General Fonseca Barbosa has
practically ruled the country. Barbosa is
naturally more active as he is more of
man Of affairs than his colleague.
Com Pedro, conversing with Brazilian
gentleman on the subject of naturalization
as an element of power in the growth of
the country, declared himself as strongly
approving of it. He said it is a wise
measure for the provisional government to
have taken. IF Brazil is to be kept

ernments this" he said, ''then must be
done.n

he fled in order to save persons in high places
from being implicated in the scandal He
was known to be close companion of AL

believed here to be aimed directly at the

there is not shadow or shade of suspicion
that Albert Victor is implicated in the
crimes, and as Labby got personal letter
from the Prince of Wales this week, as well
as a visit from Sir Francis Knollys, the

pressure is brought to bear on Labouchere
to get him to abandon his threat of expos
