New Years Dinner to the Faculty and
Friends OF Alma College.

The dinner given ut the Wright
House on Tuesday afternoon by Mr. ana
Mrs. n. w. Wright. and DR.. and Mrs.
Lancashire, was one of the pleasantest
gatherings ever held in Alma. The
dinner itself was in Smiths best style,
and that is good enough for anybody.
1t was simply elegant. This fresh tok-
Ell of interest in the College on the part
of its patrons and friends cannot be 9TH
er than gratifying to all who wish well
for Alma and the growing institution
of learning which is so rapidly becom-
ing an essential part of our prosperity.
Mr.. Wright'S continued interest in this
enterprise, of which he is one OF the
founders, argues well for the future and
we look forward to great things i'll con-
nection with Alma College. We trust
our people will more and more appre-
clate the fact that the College is very
important item in the make up of Alma
1t brings into our village not less than
$50 900, year, in money nearly al Of
which is distributed among our citizens
| in various branches of trade. The in
| terestS of our citizens are rapidly be-
coming identical with the interests Of
the College. And we are glad to see
that this fact is being recognized by all
our business men. The College in
sures demand for various kinds of
produce in large quantities, and Tins
demand makes Alma Il better market
| for our farmers than it was two years
ago. and this demand will increase
as the College grows. Our citizens
do well to prize the College, and to
make its interests a prominent con-
sideration in every movement to pro-
mote the growth Of our village in all
right directions, and in the suppression
of all that is wrong. Whatever injuries
the College, Injuries the town, and to
the same extent whatever benefits the
college, benefits the town. This is a
fact which our people are beginning to
understand more clearly with every
month, and the resnlt is sure to be a
greatly increased prosperity. What the
College at Olyet is to that village, nay
more, what Oberlin College is to the
town which surrounds it, such may our
College be. and such we believe it will
be to our town, if we as citizens are
only awake TO our interests. Fellow
Citizens let us be alive to the possibil.
tiles before us. The following is the
bill of fare, judge for yourself:

THE CHINESE CURSE.
New York is Getting a Taste of the Little
Yellow Boys"

New York is Getting Taste of the Little
Yellow Boys"
NEW YORK, October 9Th. = One New
Yorker had genuine taste of Chinese ways
yesterday. This was Charles Angrew, a
very respectable mechanic, who, single
handed and in spite of many obstacles,
rescued his daughter Mamie, who had been
abducted to q disreputable Chinese house
on Pell street
The girl was missed at home several days
ago, and after dreary search the father
traced her to this house. At o'clock this
morning he broke past the guard, rushed
up the stairs, cried out for his daughter and
he recognized her voice in reply. He broke
down the door and took the frightened girl
home.
The house was full of white girls and
Cinnamon, who rushed from little room
TO see the cause of the disturbance.
As the girl saw her father she rushed to
him crying, "Oh, papa, papa Thank God
you came here and saved mew
A few men in the crowd tried to question
the father, but he strongly bade them mind
their own business and elbowing his way
through them he went with his daughter
to Chatham Square where he boarded a
Third avenue horse-c car. Mamie mean

ohe was very neatly dressed and unusu-
ally good looking. She did not seem to be
more than IA though she was really two
years older. Angrew was asked if be in
tended to take legal proceedings against the
proprietors of the house, and he replied
that he had no time to waste in that man
ner.
The law is too slow he continued,
"and could not give NE the satisfaction l
want. I'll punish the devils in my own
fashion, and God help any of them who
get in reach of me.''

ST. LOUIS SENSATION.
Captain d. P. slattery Almost Pounded
to Death.


81. LOUIS, October 6lh.-Captain D. P.
Slattery, President of the Merchants Ele-
yator Company and most prominent and
wealthy citizen of st. Louis, lies at his
home unconscious from the effects of
brutal beating received early this morning
near the corner OF JetterSon and Cass ay-
enueS.
Those implicated in the affair tell most
peculiar story Edward Kiosterman keeps
a grocery store ana saloon at the corner
named, and claimed that at 1 o'clock this
morning his wife wa5awakened by noise
and saw man walking toward her bed
without shoes, hat or coat. She screamed.
and Klosterman and his bartender come
up stairs.
They found a strangeman on the land
ing. Alexander Hunt, Who was also in the
saloon, came up after thsm and told Klos-
terman TO turn the man over TO him. This
was done and Hunt beat the stranger who
proves TO have been Captain Slattery, most
brutally, winding up by throwing him down
stairs. They then followed him ont on the
street and beat him in terrible manner
When they bad pounded him sufficiently
they took him to the police station where
the Sergeant Immediately recognized him
and sent for physician, who pronounced
his injuries very dangerous.
All the parties concerned have been
placed under arrest. The assailants claim
that Slattery never spoke even before
Hunt began to beat him Slattery's
missing clothes were brought home this
morning, klosterman claiming to have
found them in the street. A diamond ring
and pin, valued at $500, are missing. The
affair mas created an intense sensation.

1t Is Said He Has Been Slowing Away
Large Sums of Money.
PARIS, October 6th.-The second ballots
which took place in 1S6 constituencies in
France to-day excited the least possible in.
terest in England, and it appears to be re-
garded throughout France and Paris itself
with nothing approaching the usual cleo
ton excitement
The feeling seems to become general that
the Republic is now firmly established for
many years, and whatever may be the re-
suit CT to days ballot, France will maintain
her existing form of government intact
Boulanger is no longer factor in any
French political problem Those who
heretofore have been his warmest political
friends are to-day ready to except the ex-
PLANTATION of the Generals, disastrous
overthrow at the polls, which is anything
but creditable to their former chief. They
are utterly unable to comprehend that the
French people should have deliberately re-
pudiated themselves and their revolution
ary schemes.
They now insist that tneir defeat is due
entirely to the failure of General Boulanger
to use the large sums of money which had
been given him to aid in carrying the
elections, for the purposes for which they
were intended.
1t is openly charged thattke brave Cen
eral has been quietly slowing away mill
ions OF francs which his wealthy dupes
poured into his, Golfers while he let the
elections take care of themselves.
Boulanger takes pains to create the i'm
preston that he is impoverished, but his
dlsgusted allies make no secret of their
belief he has carefully nursed his bank aC-
count at the expense of their own and their
political prospects.

What the London Times Thinks of the
Pan-American Congress.
LONDON, October 6th-Tbe Times says
editorially concerning the Pan American
Congress at Washington: 1t is not clear
what the delegates are to do. Business
will not begin before November, by which
time Blaine will probably know what he
expects the congress to agree to and
what political questions shall be
avoided. We shall hear much of
the Panama and Nicaragua canal
routes, harmless talk on common silver
coin and extradition of criminals. Indeed,
the only clearly expressed hope about the
congress is that it will promote good will
between these countries. If the delegates
go home pleased with their hosts and i'm
pressed with the magnitude of the country
the congress will have done as much as
can be expected

SAMOAN QUESTION.
1t May Yet Give Rise 10 Trouble with.
Bismarck and GERMANY

1t May Yet Give Rise TO Trouble with.
Bismarck and Germany.
LONDON, October CHA special to the
Liverpool Courier, a Government organ,
says: The Samoan difficulty, which it
was supposed had been settled, may yet give
rise to serious trouble between Germany
and the United States. Throughout the
Berlin Conference the Washington Govern
ment had its own way on almost every
point. Bismarck, determined to be concil-
latory, went to the full length in submit
ting to American demands, but Blaine, since
the text of the treaty has been scrutinized
by him, has expressed dissatisfaction with
some clauses.
Although he won't directly withdraw
from the treaty which he authorized the
American delegates to sign, he may indi-
rectly influence the Senate TO refuse It's rati-
fcation. The Berlin Foreign Office has
further cause for irritation with the Wash
ington Government The new American
Minister to Germany, Phelps, is delayed in
assuming his functions till January max
ing gap of nine months in the ministerial
representation of the United States in Ger
many.
Blaine meanwhile sent a Consul General
to Berlin who is ignorant of the German
language and Consular business. His rows
with German officials and others, combined
with the general dissatisfaction prevailing
in official quarters with what is called
American bumptiousness, may lead to Sc
rious trouble. Bismarck is believed to
have gone as far as he will go toward culti-
waiting friendship with Washington"

DISHONEST EXECUTOR.
He Robs an Estate os a Large Amour
and Sl<ips- Out.


and Skips- Out.
New YORK, October 6th.-George B.
Lawson, once of Los Angeles, Cal, is now
under arrest in Essex county, N. J., for
embezzllng from the estate of Jane Mall, of
which he was executor. In default of S4O,-
600 bail Lawson went to Jail. The arrest
was made on capaiS issued on the COM
plant of Jennie Null Allaine for Si7,-
OS3 81, the amount said to be due from her
mothers estate.
At the time of her death MIS-. Null had
eight children and her property was left in
equal shares to then. Lawson, who was a
prosperous business man in this CITY, was
made executor, but failed to pay over any
OF the bequests, and for years could not be
found, and it was only recently that it was
learned that he was resident of East
Orange, where he was arrested.
The affdavits show story of dishonesty
that has few equals of late years. The will
of Mrs. Null was made some years before
her death. She maintained an elegant
establishment in this city, while the chill
dren were leaders in society. In March,
1887, final execution was issued against
Lawson's property in New York, which
was supposed to be worth $3.50, 600. Then
it was found that be had transferred this to
his son, George B. Lawson, Jr, and that he
had left the city.
II was not until short time ago that he
was located in East Orange. A copy of the
decree of the New York Courts was served
on him, but as he paid no attention to it a
copy was issued by the Essex Circuit Court.
Lawson is about 90 years old. He took his
arrest very coolly.

CHICAGO, October 6Ih.-Five thousand
people were present at meeting in Central
Music Hall this afternoon. the feature of
which was an address by General Master
Workman Powderiy of the Knights of
Labor.
The Sunday closing of saloons was the
topic announced for discussion Mr.
Powderly was greeted with a tempest of
applause. His remarks on Sunday closing
were emphatic and pointed enough to elicit
repeated outbreaks of applause from even
the most radical of his hearers.
He afterwards spoke of the charges to
which he made SO effective reply at St.
Louis. He added that if any of the Chicago
people were not satisfied he was perfectly
willing to have them appoint a committee
OF three honest men to investigate his af-
fairs.
On the 14th instant Mr. Powderly will
go to Philadelphia, where he will have
conference with the chiefs of the Fedora
ton OF Labor in regard to the manner of
presenting the eight. hour question to the
next general assembly. Mr.. Powderly
says he thinks, as he always has, that
there should be a shorter working day
than now, but it will never be brought
about by strikes. To his mind. arbitration
is the only way. He thinks federation is
reoeding from its radical position on this
question

A Higher Order of Ability and InteIIi-
gence Demanded.
CHICAGO, October 6th-rhe Coroner's
jury inquiring into the cause of the death
of Michael O'Connor, the last victim of the
Rock Island disaster, at Englewood to-
night, returned verdict charging the re-
sponsibility of the accident upon Thomas
B. Twombley, master mechanic, and Con-
ductor Charles L. Buford, all of the Rock
Island Railroad, and recommending that
they be held to await the action of the
Grand Jury.
All have been arrested and committed to
Jail. Master Mechanic Twombley is the
father of Engineer Twombley, and three
times secured the reinstatement of his son
after his discharge for drunkenness. The
jury also censured the officials of the road
for their failure to require a higher order
of ability and intelligence among their en-
ployes.
