Secretary Noble Severely Criticized for
Giving One.
Secretary Noble is being severely criti-
cised for giving an elaborate Easter break
fast Sunday. The feast was the most
gorgeous of any that has been spread this
winter and was attended by senators and
justices Of the supreme court and their
ladies. The secretary is accused of not
only profaning the Sabbath, but q holy
church day, and many church people de-
clare it was sacreligious. The Washing.
ton papers have devoted q great deal Of
space to a decription Of the entertainment,
which is described as q sort Of progressive
euchre feast in which the secretary and his
family changed seats during the 1O-course
dinner. being seated at each Of the several
tables during the breakfast. Even the
high social standing of the people who at
tended does not save them from adverse
criticism.

BEREFT OF REASON
Richard Proctor Insane.

There is much excitement in st. Joseph
over the strange actions of Richard Proc
ror, the only son Of the late famous as
tronomer. Proctor, who is a young man
of 81, about two months ago began to act
strangely and took delight in wandering
abroad at night and hurting stones through
the windows of private residences. At his
own home he would frequently chop the
furniture to pieces and toss the debris into
the street. He believes that he is very
wealthy and owns all'the real estate in st.
Joseph. He contracts large debts, which
are with difficulty paid by his mother aud
sisters, who are poor. It has been decided
to have him committed to an insane asy-
lum. He has been prominent in society.

dition of the law aud with the mode of its

Memphis Daily Avalanche and representa-
tive in congress from the Tenth district of
Tennessee. Editor Fleming has refused
to accept the challenge, and exactly what

Phelan may take are not known. Editor
Fleming, instead Of sending his &C.

communication by wire. by which agency
it was transmitted to him. published 1t in
the Sentinel and it is the principal theme
Of conversation. Mr.. Phelan's challenge
came by telegraph from Washington last
Sunday. Editor Fleming in his reply
says that in times past the men who have
specially commanded his admiration were
those who had the courage to treat with
contempt the demand Of the duelist, while
recognizing and insisting on the manly
right of self-defense. The trouble be-
tween the two men, was occasioned by q
book Mr.. Phelan wrote, a school history
Of Tennessee, which was commented upon
in strong language by Editor Fleming in
the Sentinel.
