A MINISTER IN DISGRACE:
Queer Financial Transactions which
Need Explanation.

There was great astonishment i'm the
community at Ann Harbor, Mich, few
days ago when the Rev. DIR. Samucls Earp,
rector of the Episcopal church there, re-
signed 10 take effect Nov. 10. The only
reason given was need Of rest AFTER
twenty years of continuous work. ON
Sunday when he did not appear In his
pulpit and announcement was made tnat
he had been taken TO the Battle Creek SAM
tariun, the real facts, fully known TO u lew,
came out Mr.. Earp has been struggling
with financial difficulties that could no
longer l,o concealed. He went to Ann
Arbor four years ago, chosen because of
his poculiar ADAPTATION to win the atten-
tcntion and confidence OF young men,
his influence being desired in connection
with the large number OF students attend
ing the university. His success I'm that di-
rertion was all that was anticipated, but
now II turns out that he has used his posi-
tion to borrow money right and left among
his parisbioners and of any one else who
could he induced to trust him, :.
The stories that are told arc cxtraordi-
nary. He secured 81 600 on his own note
from AN official I'm one of the local banks.
The paper was not paid at maturity, and
good deal of persistent pressure had To be
used. Finally he went into the bank one
day and asked for the note aud large
amount in cash, rendering IN payment for
tho whole a check on tho Npsilanti bank,
which was accepted.
When the check was presented for pay
ment nj the Ypsilanti bank II was not hon
ored. Tho result was the embarrassment
of The local bank. which threatened crimi-
nal prosecution. The matter was only
hushei up by his friends quietly making
the banks deficiency good.
Several rich widows are indorsers Of his
paper for several thousand dollars each,
and various business men for smaller
sums. The belief among his
most intimate acquaintances is that
he is tho victim of monomania, and that
his remarkable transactions are not in
telligently fraudulent. What he has done
with the money secured no one knows. II
is said he aided his brother, of Danville,
Pa, in business enterprises. The matter
causes much astonisbmcnt in the univer-
sill 4 tnMn.

The New York SIMS correspondent at
Monte Carlo wrote a while ago of the
splendid revenues derived by the Prince
of Monaco from the famous gambling es-
Establishments of his little country. This
same Prince is an ardent devotec of
science, and we hear of him now and then
figuring in some gathering of savants or
promoting some scientific project. Three
years ago the Prince cruised around in the
Atlantic on his yacht, dropping hundreds
of bottles overheard in various parts of
the Gulf Stream for the purpose Of de-
termining the course of its various
branches, and particularly to ascertain if
possible where the great African current
branches off from the main stream. We
have not yet learned that science has
benefited largely by this wholesale sacri-
fee of glassware, but it can be affirmed
with certainty that the vessels Of all ma
tions are still engaged in picking up the
Princes bottles.

An examination of the throats and
hoses of 1000 New York children was
made by DR.. W. Franklin Chappell, of
the Presbyterian Hospital, last year, and
the results have lately been published.
DR.. Ohappell found, to quote his own
words, "that 1881 of the 2000 were suf-.
fering from some anatomical abnormality,
and usually with its accompanying symp-
toms of respiratory obstruction and ca
tarrh." Most of the abnormal conditions
appear after the age of six years, and
children of different social surroundings
appear to be equally liable to them. cit
would seem," says DR.. Chappell, in con-
clusion, ''that persons having the over
sight of children should have them ex-
amined between the age of six and four
teen years, to ascertain the condition of
the throat and nose. 1t is not the throat
and nose alone which suffer from these
abnormal conditions, but many other all
ments, especially of the pulmonary, di-
gestive and nervous systems, can be traced
to prolonged nasal obstruction and irrita-

Everything is being done in Paris to
induce people to have their dead bodies
burned. A new crematory has just been
constructed, according to the plans of NJ
Geuilard, municipal counselor. This
furnace is entirely of brick, and its parti-
ton walls have in their entire length a
series of holes which give passage to
large metallic tubes through which gas is
let IN by force, having been pumped into
the furnace by means of compressed air.
The temperature under such conditions is
as high as 1900 degrees to 14OO degrees.
The results obtained have been satisfac-
torily convincing. In thirty minutes
an entire sheep weighing fifty llilos and
placed in a wooden box, was reduced to
ashes, without the slightest smoke OF

MCPHERSON THE FIRST.
The Doughty Potentate of the AIeu~
tian Islands.

GIdn lSlanuS.
A special agent of the treasury reports an
extraordinary condition of affairs at Ona-
looska, one of the Aleutian Islands belong
ing to the United States. The island is
thirty-four miles long by twelve miles wide,
and is inhabited by about 400 natives About
three years ago a man named Mcpherson
can from San Francisco and landed there.
His outfit consisted OF a suit of clothes an
American flag unbounded cheek and paper
purporting to be signed by Attorney General
Garland appointing him TTnitod s aton conl
missioner He first compelled natives to
build him house upon which he raised the
flag, and then organ zed little despotism all
by himself, compelling natives to address
him as "King Mcpherson" Every one of
the inhabitants is forced to pay
tribute to him and he gets a certain
share Of everything that is caught or pro
duced on the island, the amount being fixed
by his own sweet will Mcpherson would
probably be enjoying this sort of life for
SONS time to come were it not that the treas
ury department learned that he had recently
hung three natives whose actions did not
suit him. The authorities will send YES
sci to Onalooska and capture "King
Mcpherson" after which he will be tried
for murder. Nobody here knows anything
about the adventurer, but steps are being
taken in San Francisco TO l. ok up his rec
ord. Altogether it is the most remarkable
case which has come before the treasury
department for a long time.

MURDER ON SHIPBOARD.
Grave Charges Against officers c
the Shin Solitaire.

Grave Charges Against Officers of
the Ship Solitaire.
United States deputy marshals are looking
for Captain E. R. Sewell, First Mate Ryan
and Second Mate j. W. Robbins of the ship
Solitaire which arrived at Philadelphia, last
week. The warrants for the arrest Of all
three officers charge them with cruelty such
as has seldom been reported on shipboard in
from bath, and Robbins the second mate,
from Yarmouth, N. S. She bad a crew of
fifteen men. Their was one American sail
or, Charles Coombs, Of Port Richmond;
Patrick ONeill an Irishman, and
the others are for the most rart
Danes and Norwegians. On March
II, Coombs the American, William
K. Holm, Dane, and two Germans were
ordered aloft to take in sail. Roaring with
oaths at the top of his voice, Robbins, the
second mate, mounted the rigging after
them, Coombs stood next to the mast as the
mate came up, and Holm was standing next
to him. The mate struck Coom5s in the
neck. Losing his balance, the American fell
eight feet, when he caught the buntlinel and
saved himself. The mate then struck Holm,
who according to Coombs, fell like log TO
the deck and was instantly killed. The
crew continued to be beaten and over
worked until off the Capes. Com
ing up the river, when near League Island,
the captain sent the first and second mates
ashore because he did not dare to bring them
into the city for fear they would be arrested.
He brought the Solitaire to the city an then
he himself disappeared. He did not even go
to the United States shipping commissioners
office with the articles so that the crew could
be settled with. The ship was taken charge
of by brother Of the captain, who attended
TO the settling with the crew
