WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. 20-The ballot
box Investigation was the leading attraction
Saturday, as it was expected that Wood him

not a mistaken one. Ex-Governor Foraker

most interesting part of it was where he ex-
planned why he was willing to use the paper

doubt the genuineness of the signatures. He
admitted that he was astonished, and said
that when he saw Sherman's signature he
was almost willing to believe anything of
anybody. He had not communicated with
any of the gentlemen, because Sherman and
butterworth were abroad at the time, and
it was delicate matter to write Mckinley.

LONDON, Jan. 20.-The peaceful and con-
tented portion Of London's population had
its nerves shocked again yesterday by a
demonstration on the part of that portion
which is not contented and not always SO
peaceful The persons who thus rudely in
terrupted the quiet observance of the day
were the gas workers-or rather the ex-gas-
workers-for they are no longer workers,
nor even strikers. Their places at the gas
works have been filed, and they are literally
locked out. To be locked out in London is
almost equivalent to a sentence of slow death
by starvation.
A CHASTITY Sort of Parade
1t has been thought that <aese men had
lost their identity as gas workers, or strikers,
or anything but simple units of the great
mass of unemployed; for the strike was over
and forgotten weeks ago Thus the appear:
ance of this organized body of unfortunates
had a somewhat uncanny effect; something
like the appearance of the ghost of that
which had been buried out of sight. When
the ex-gas workers entered Hyde Park in
grim procession people wondered whether

The PROCESSION, with bands playing mourn

west end, and was given the right of way as
unanimously as If it been composed of es.
capped smallpox patients. The marchers
scowled angrily at the swells, who gazed on
them from the windows of private mansions
and clubs, and many were the harsh cpl
thets flung out by the sullen, hopeless, al
most desperate men. At some
points movements were made as
II to stone the windows of the clubs
and it was only by the energetic efforts of
the leaders, among whom We're some of the
coolest heads and shrewdest of the labor agi-
tators of London, that outbreaks were pre-
vented. So that on the whole, the demon
stration was an orderly one, and London

drawn up in Ben Butterworths Office, which
the governor wanted to use against Butter

evening, in place of the regular pastor, l.
p. Mercer. Mr.. Frost's subject last evening

He spoke of the felicity of happy marriages
and Of the misery resulting from mismating

Mr.. Frost spoke at some length on the
origin Of oonjugal love, and passed on TO the
preparation for marriage. On this point be
said; @As marriages are from the Lord,
when youth and maiden begin to think
about marriage, it should be made by them
subtsct Of frequent and devout prayer to
the Lord that He would guide them each to a
suitable husband and wife Those contem-
plating marriage should consider well the
desirability Of similar age, rank, tastes,
disposition, and aims in life. 1t is especially,
important that they hold the same religious
views"
Duties of the Sexes.
Here the speaker touched the employments
proper for man and woman. He said: ain
the marriage relation there are duties prop
or to the husband and other duties proper to
the wife, and the wife cannot assume the du-
ties Of the husband, nor the husband those of
the wife, so as to perform them Alright. This
Is taught by these words: The woman shall
not wear that which pertaineth unto the
man; neither shall a man put on a woman's
garments, for all that do so are abomination
