THE CASE OF MINISTERS JOINER.
Methodist minister T. N. Joiner, who has
been preaching in North Carolina for many
years and lately at place called Holly
Springs, has found that Jordan is hard
road to travel. The other day masked
mob appeared in front Of his dwelling with
firearms and discharged volley into it.
wounding him in the arm and his wife in the
hip. The mob then entered the house,
knocked Mrs. Joiner down and behaved in q
rufienly manner toward all in the house.
Mr.. Joiner said that this was done to punish
him and his wife for giving religious and
other instruction to the negroes, and that
the local authorities refused him any redress
whatever. Consequently he. has been in
Washington to lay his complaint before Sir
Julian Pauncefote, the British minister, with
view of obtaining the assistance Of the
British government in bringing the offenders
to justice. He asks this of the British gov
ernment because he has . right to, being
still British subject. .
The British government has the reputation
OF looking after the interests of it's subjects
pretty well, but in this case it is doubtful if
much can be done. The Chicago Kcrald
names some of the difficulties in the way
when it says: The British government, at
the best, could not help him without an in
vestigation, and when the Holly Springs
witnesses had all testified Mr.. Joiner would
not know himself. It would be proved that
he was daturalixed In North Carolina ffte en-
years ago; that he often confessed completely
in the Phoenix Park assassination: that he
was Mormon, in faith and in practice; that
he secretly practised cannibalism; that he was
endeavoring to incite among the negroes an
insurrection against the United States, and
that when his neighbors called on him in q
courteous manner to demonstrate against his
practices he fred at them muskst loaded
with buckshot, which, however, burst,
wounding himself and wife. This would not
be true, Of course, but . lot of men who were
mean enough to mob him, and lot of local
officials who were mean enough to refuse
him redress, would be mean enough to swear
that 1t was true; and anybody but minister
would see it.

storm and saves q ship.
From the Alta California;
At Bourbon, the most neglected port in the
French Indies, number Of vessels rode at
anchor. Suddenly tidalwave was signaled
and a eannonshot conveyed the order for all
ships to leave the port. The crews hastily
regained their vessels and In less than half an
hour all ships but one had left the port. The
one which remained despite the order was a
large brig In ballast, on whose deck not q
living soul could be seen. A second shot was
fred and the brig slowly pivoted and with
tapping sails made for the open sea. An
hour later il was Uncovered that the entire
crew Of the brig had been detained on shore
and the only living creatures on board were a
lad 10 years old and the captains dog
In order to obey the order twice given the
lad must have let the anchor chain alp and

After seeing no one come, the boy, know
ing that to stay was destruction, had let the

the helm, ret her head to sea. Slipping q

THE DISTRIBUTED TRUSTS.

When the trusts first made their appear
ance they excited good deal of apprehen-
sion, and some timid ones were really afraid
that they would soon own the earth and the
fullness thereof. But it has been found that
they are not the terrible things they were
thought to be. Some of them have defeated
themselves by being too greedy, and the law
is showing its capacity to deal with others.
The Sugar trust is now very much in the
grip of the law, and the Distillers and Cattle
Feeders' trust is also on the ragged edge. A
complaint against this trust by the attorney
general Of Nebraska sets up that In July,
1888, the defendant company did unlawfully
and willfully combine, confederate and agree
with the Willow Springs Distilling company
Of Omaha and other distilling companies in
the United States that all of said distilleries
that were not then incorporated should be-
come corporate companies; that thsreupon
the capital stock Of said companies so incor-
porated should be assigned to board of
trustees; that in return said board should
issue to said companies certificates of stock
divided into shares the same a. other cor-
porate stock; that IN pursuance to said agree
ment the defendant company did transfer Its
stock to said board and receive In return
therefor certificates in the trust greatly in
excess Of the nominal value of the stock as
signed, and that said agreement created q
monopoly which is injurious to the laws of
trade and in violation of the laws of Nsbras-
ka. The petition prays for dissolution Of
the company's charter, the appointment Of .
receiver to wind up its affairs, the sale of the
corporate property, and that the proceeds
may be covered into the school fund of the
State.
This means business, as the defendants
will probably soon discover. The trusts are
being driven from one refuge to another, and
1t Is not probable that under any name they
will be allowed to oppress the people.

steam In an instant. By this means the
engine was stopped at one of the mills
recently in . few seconds, and a young girl,
whose clothes had become entangled in an
upright shaft, was released uninjured.
Is It possible that the Yankee as he is
pictured does not exista A New England
woman thus writes in the Boston Transcript:
81 am Yankee, born and bred. I have
lived much in the country, and never heard
a New Highlander say 'haow' or 'caow.' On
the other hand have never met Philadel-
phian OF q southerner who did not say
'haow,' 'haonse,' caow.' Lay the blame on
the shoulders Of the culprits. Don't malign
us poor Yankees. We guess that we are
faulty in many ways, but we know that we
do not commit the crime with which You
charge u.s."
The Rome correspondent of the Pail Mall
Gazette sends to his paper an interview with
Mgr. satolli, who is quoted as making this
extraordinary remark about the United
States: All our bishops in the United States
are treated as sovereign princes, and the
archbishop Of Ireland Is the personal friend
Of Harrison. As Democrat, he belongs to
his party. He told Harrison that unless he
would pledge himself to make concessions
to the Catholic schools all the Catholics
would withdraw their votes from him, SO
he was obliged to do SO. The public cor
porations, too, are only too ready to fulfill
the wishes of our bishops even before they
are Expressed,
The complete statement of the value of
property destroyed by fire during the month
Of December is favorable one, showing q
total loss of only 81, ,304, ,s00 against So, $780,
800 in 1883 and SO, ,30S, 900 in 1887. The
total loss for the year 1889, of course, is
larger than that of the preceding year, the
particularly destructive fires of Lynn and
Boston swelling the total to a large amount.
The loss for the year was $131 ,949, $50,
which was, however, only small percent
age greater than that Of 1882 and 1888.
When the increase in burnable property me-
cessary in q growing country is considered,
the increase in destruction cannot be regard
ed as very alarming.
Governor Hill seems to be more of bal
lot reformer than.h has had credit for. In
his message he repels the accusation that he
ia not ballot reformer. On the contrary
he thinks reform important and necessary.
He approves some features of the Australian
system. He thinks that all voters should
be registered, and that booths should be
provided in which each voter may prepare
his ballot in strict privacy. He has no
objection to official ballots, but will never
consent that they should be required to the
exclusion of ballots prepared by party COM
mittees. His scheme of ballot reform there
fore comprises registration Of ell voters,
secret voting and the use of an official or
unofficial ballot at each voters discretion.

HOW WOMEN ACT IN JAIL.
queer Devices by Which They Seek to
Crafty Native Vanity.


Crafty Native Vanity.
From the San Francisco ArgonautJ
Compulsion is the woman convict's drop
of that harmless sort of vanity which fills
so much of woman's life makes her du-
rance doubly vile. All her fine feathers are
sacrificed ruthlessly. Her hair, which she
has apostolic authority for regarding as an
ornament, is shorn of its last lock as soon as
her cell has been allotted to her; and the
face which has gazed with perfect passive
ness, almost to rouse country's admiration,
and the tongue that has been mute under the
finding of jury and sentence of judge, are
raised to plead pathetically with the holder
of the scissors, while the corridors some-
time ring again to the piercing cries for
sparing pity as the inexorable shears gather
their harvest of curls. But spring returns
and the hair renews itself, and the girls
grumble that ,thoughtless administration
provides them with no hairpins.
One woman, whose hair continued to be
suspiciously resplendent, as of macassar,
after weeks of incarceration, was an object
of some wonderment, even to the chaplain,
until she explained to him in confidence that
she allowed her broth to grow cool, and then
skinned off the fat to glitter in her crown
of glory. Another girl certainly rouged,
and rouge tells effectually on the pallor of
prison confinement. Great was the envious
indignation of her sisters in servitude against
q frivolity so unattainable, but greater still,
perhaps, was the curiosity to discover how
The accomplishment of such frivolity could
be attained. At length it was discovered
that the red threads woven among the blue
shirts which she had to sew would, when
drawn out and chewed, yield the bloom
yearned after by the cheek of beauty.
The manner in which nearly every woman
finds 1t possible to disarrange and double
one of her underskirts and present tho fas-
cinations of a crinolette is so comic that it
has been known to wiring smile from the
gravest among men-a prison chaplain.
And woman without a looking glass! Only
the austerest and severest orders of nuns re-
nounce that. And perhaps it is the female
prisoners most oppressive penance, for the
relief of which che is even willing to risk
the imposition of extra punishment-a task
the more, meal the less. By an accident,
which she declares she will regret for q life
time, she has broken window. The hole is
there, sure enough; but where is the de-
tached glass? Days after this 1t is found
concealed in corner of her cell, and behind
strip Of black cloth, her substitute for
quicksilver. And ali for whata There are
no male hearts to break, and few male eyes
to see-only those of Governor, chaplain and
doctor.

SAYS GRAvITATIoN DOES 1T.
A Remarkable Clock That is Said TO
Go without winding. nE5 y

Go without winding. aG5 -
from the Fresno Republican, SOS
T. g. Farrer, watch maker, has invented
one of the most peculiar clocks of the nine-
teenth century. 1t consists of plate glass
parts of it that are visible are the two hands,
the pivot upon which they swing and the
dial. It is marked "Gravltation Clock" and
not one person in one Thousand vino passes
1t has the faintest idea that it is the most in
genious device of the century. Many clocks
with glass dials have the works of watch
as their motive power, butsthis clock has no
motive power that is visible.
Mr.. Farrer worked on the invention for
six years before he succeeded in perfectinQ
it. He alleges that the only motive power is
the gravitation of the earth, and that the
clock will run on forever without winding.
The only imperfection is that it loses from
four to five minutes day by the friction OF
the hands on the pivot. and, therefore, the
hands require to be regulated once in 'twen-
ty-four hours.
He showed reporter yesterday something
hards pointed to quarter past one Mr.. Far.
rer caught hold Of them, brought them to-
gether and sent them twirling around the
dial, like the winder of a wheel of fortune.
After oscillating until the momentum had
been overcome, the hour hand and the min
ute hand resumed their respective and pro.
per positions, still marking the correct time.
At 1:20 he did something still more remark
able. He slipped the minute hand off the
pivot and laid 1t on the counter. At the end
of elk minutes he replaced it and sent it
twirling around the dial. When it came to
rest it settled at the right place. twenty-six
minutes past one o'clock.
The hands are of tin and are hollow, and
are perfectly balanced on the pivot. Mr..
Farrer says they are moved by the grsvita-
tion of the earth, but it puzzles the speota-
tor to account for the power that raises them
after they reach $50.
All kinds of theories are ahoat to account
for this. Some people say that the hollow
hands are filled with fluids of different dem
stiles that oversome the gravitation of the
earth when the hands reach that point. But
Mr.. Farrer keeps his secret and rejoices over
the mysti6cation of the beholdsr. He in
sists that electricity is not the motive power.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

There is At least one practical prohibitionist
in Bangor, Maine. He recently went around
to every saloon and drug store in the city,
with the exception Of one drug store, and
bought liquor, which has been labeled with
the name of the seller, the place from which
1t came, etc. These will be presented to the
grand jury at the next term Of court.
It is related that ono woman has made the
silk gowns of the justices of the United
States Supreme court for the past forty
years, and she gets 500 for each one of
them. They are oil made alike, the only
difference being in the material, the chief
justice wearing black Chinese satin, while
associates are robed in black silk. The chief
justice always wears a new gown when he
swears in president. The new gown is al
ways subject to good deal of criticism by
the older Justices and it's ft ia closely scan
ned.
What il regarded ~ pretty good reason
why there must be peace in Europe is the
calculation that the mobilization of the
French, German and Russian armies would
cost 500, ,000, 900, and their maintainanos in
the field would cost $200, ,000, 600 = month.
A war Of six months duration would there
fore use up, for these three countries alone,
the sum Of u, SOC, 600, 900. Besides that every
nation in Europe, including England, would
have to arm and hold itself ready, which
would cost millions more. These bills are
considered too high to be assumed.

General Forrest,s Laat and Lucky
Ten Dollars.

From the Florida Times Union.l-
Speaking of General Forrest, the cavalry
hero of the war, vino killed more men with
his sabre than any other one soldier on eith-
er side, he returned to Memphis after the
surrender with his wife, and with only ten
dollar bill in his pocket. Mrs. Forrest was
lady Of the most quiet, amiable Christian
virtues, and the only person, by the way,
who had any control of the "wizard OF the
addle" while in passion. One touch Of
..er gentle hand, one soft, tender word,
would calm his most tempestuous moods.
Sitting alone together the night of their
return to Memphis, General Forrest said:
ssMary, I know you are strict church mem-
Der and have always opposed cards. Bu

tween us and the poor house. Won't you

found the party he wanted and began the
game. The cards ran his way from the first,
and his winnings grew SO large that he set
his beaver on the floor beside him and used
IL as depository. About two O'Clock in the
morning he lifted his tile, bent his head
