An Imnaculate Gail.

The pardon issued to Albert S. Cronk,
Chicago lawyer who was convicted oi
the crime of perjury in 1883 and SEN
fenced to the Joliet prison for one year,
took effect today. Crenk has never been
confined in the penitentiary, but ever
since his conviction has been allowed to
remain in the Chicago Jail.
AS the pardon was directed to the
warden of the prison, it became neces-
sary for the prisonerto to be at least brought
to the prison before he could be legally
discharged from custody. Sheriff Matson,
of Cook county, brought Cronk to Joliet
today, having the pardon in his pocket.
The prisoner was turned over to the
warden, who gave the sheriff his receipt.
The sheriff then handed the warden the
pardon and the formality of discharging
Cronk from the prison was gone through
with, and, although Cronk had never
served minutes time, he at once asked
for his discharge money from the state,
$40 and transportation, the sum paid to
all discharged convicts. This exhibition
OF gall was a paralyzer to the prison
warden, and when the ex-prisoner finally
made demand for suit of citizens
clothing, such asis given to the discharged
convicts, it caused Sheriff Matson to re-
tire in disgust. Croak was paid the $1e
and given ticket to Chicago, but he did
not get the clothes. '..t
The fact of Cronk's having to sign the
prison vouchers for his discharge money
places him on the prison records as hav-
ing been convict, as he had to be given
a number and entered on the convict
register The oupidity of the fellow
caused this, and now No. SO, Albert s.
Cronk, is an ex-convict.-Joliet Special

smallest praft on Record.

The smallest draft ever issued by the
treasury department. will be drawn In the
course OF q few days 70 is for the mag
nifcentsum Of one cent and Is to pay for
property worth, at the lowest estimate,
$4,000 At the last session Of congress
the representative from Lowell succeeded
in having bill passed appropriating
100000 for the sfection Of a pubic build
ing here and the purchase of a site. Half
a dozen different property owners were
anxious to have the government buy
their property, as they Thought it would
be a good thing for them. The famous
bunting mill, in which Gen. B. F. Butler
is such large stsckholder, owns large
plot ofground near the mill, and offered
it to the government for very low price,
thinking that If the postoffice was built
there the company's other property would
enhance in value. ...- .'.,-.-
Considerable property was owned by
an estate at the other end Of the town,
and for the same reason they offered
land equally as desirable. The contest
between the two waged warm for a
time until at last the Butler people
executed a master move and offered the
property to the government fer 81. But
the other syndicate heard what had been
done and offered their ground for
cent, and this offer the government
finally accepted, and the draft for cent
will soon be sent to the agent of the
owners. The same routine will have to
be followed in regard to this draft as IL
it were for 100000 All the papers
will have to be carefully examined by
the accounting officers in the first in
stance, and there will be about fourteen
signatures on the warrant before the
draft is finally signed by the secretary of
the treasury.-Lowell (Mass.l Letter. !.

New Orleans Iceries.

The New Orleans ice factories are, with
one exception, very successful. They
have a capital of $662, 900. They re.
ceived last year for their product $780,
600, at the rate Of So per ton. So sue
cessful have they been that two new ice
companies are contemplated, and will
probably be in operation this year. The
present warm spell has heated the water
somewhat, and increased the cost of
manufacturing ice.
In case Of an ice famine UP north this
coming spring in consequence of the
present phenomenal winter, the New
Orleans factories express willingness
to ship ice there for consumption if they
can get good price. The artificial ice
men here express the opinion that such
a famine will occur, and say that several
northern dealers have approached them
on this subject of establishing an artifi-
cial ice factory in the north as protec-
ton against such contingencies as the
present. t.--New Orleans Special. '-

Preaching Against Fortun. rsll.r..

The Rev, Father Wall, rector of st.
Paul's cathedral, scored the people of his
parish yesterday, particularly the mar.
ried women, on the practice Of patroniE-
ing fortune tellers and wizards who read
the past, present and future.
when person visits fortune teller
to ascertain his fortune, he goes to find
out what God alone, and no one else,
Knows. When you give to a fortune
teller your presence, and make him or
her believe that they have a foreknowl-
edge of seeing the inside view of the
future, you adore him and make him be-
lieve he has power not given to the
devil. If you think he can peer into the
future you make him the equal Of God.
Therefore yeu have strange gods before
Him, and violate the first commandment.
1--WE find youths, young girls, and es-
pecially married women, making prac-
tice Of this sin. If you deliberately visit
fortune teller you are indulging in
mortal sin. If you go out of pure
thoughtlessness it is not so bad, but it is
a sin nevertheless. 1t is the same thing
as going to an idol and giving your heart
to it. This is idolatry of the worst kind.
lwould like to impress on your mind
that fortune tellers compose the worst
characters in the community. One class
of the business is fortune telling and the
other is the seduction and ruin of youth.
To my own personal knowledge know
of persons who have been ruined by
consulting these people. I warn all per-
sons of the congregation, and hope you
will extend this knowledge, that it is a
mortal sin against the first command
ment. Avoid them and their nefarious
business, for the designs they have on
the morality Of youth. h."-Pittsburg Dis

Poor Little Alphonso XIII,

often say that poor people must be
fonder of their children than the wealthy
are OF theirs. There is snch a poignant
interest in a child who will have to face
sea of troubles. Poor little Alphonso
XIII must be invested in his mothers
eyes with an interest of that kind, being
the posthumons son Of viveur of bad
constitution, who, having used himself
up at the age of 20, died Of agalloping
consumption. A Spanish deputy told me
last October that the poor little boy had
no chance of long life and that it would
be rather a misfortune if he grew up.
The nervous system was SO bad that the
doctors were afraid Of having him
bathed in the sea. A shock of any kind
might knock it to pieces. His mother
comes of the most epileptic branch of
the imperial family of Austria. .
Poor little Alphonso has, said the dep
uty quote, fieshless little legs, with
bones no thicker than chickens. They
bend under the weight of an abnormal
ly big head, which points to hydroce-
phalus. Altogether the conformation of
the little monarch is thing rather for an
anatomical museum than to bear the
weighty trappings Of regal state. His
mother is always in ear shot of him and
the doctor handy to her. A corkscrew
stair communicates with his and her
bedrooms, and there is speaking tube
close to his bed, so that were anything
the matter with him the nurse could at
once tellher and the doctor. The kings
two sisters promise to be winsome, and
have fairly good constitutions, though
their flesh is slow to heal Mercedes, to
whom told you SO early as November
Spaniards here were beginning to make
up as shown in "homages" of French
toys, still nurses dolls. They noticed on
the sands Of San Sebastian what weak
ling the poor brother was, and jumped
to the conclusion that the crown would
soon drop down on the head Of his eldest
sister. She and Theresa are very pretty
and CHEEKY. Mercedes is very like the
queen of the Belgians, who was never
either one or the other. Her majesty is
an aunt of Queen Christiana. Mrs.

The Two Climates of csiIrornla.


There have been forty miles of snow
sheds on the line of the Central Pacific
railroad In the high Sierra these many
years. At this altitude, or at the height
equal to the summit of Mount Washing
ton, in New Hampshire, the snow IN
such exceptionable winners as this is de-
cidedly troublesome to the railroad peo-
pie. From the vicinity of Mount Shasta
north for nearly a hundrsd miles, the
snow falls every winter. Once in twenty
years the snow at fhe highest altitude
falls on the mountains to such depth as
Is found there this winter. California has
both winter and a spring climate at the
same time. While the mountains have
been literally buried in the snow and
railway trains have had hard time in
getting through the drifts, and many
cattle have persisted in attitudes where
in ordinary winters they find open pas
lures, especially in the valleys, among
the mountains, it has actually. been
spring for 700 miles along the coast, and
inland until an altitude exceeding 1900
feet has been reached, for the last three
months, or since the early rains began.
The grass IN many places is foot high.
Famished cattle have been sent down
from the ranges in the mountains to feed
in the most luxuriant pastures. Citrus
fruits have ripened, not few specimens
here and there, but train loads are now
going forward to eastern markets. They
are hawked by the wagon load on the
streets of this city, as large and fair as
ever gladdened the eyes Of dwellers in
hyperborean regions. All this time mill
ions Of roses have been in bloom in open
gardens, and only an occasional white
frost has been seen. The citrus belt is
here, and the snow is there. There is a
perfect harmony between the two. San
