Balfour's Minions and Healy at Dublin
the Other Day.
LONDON, Dec. 1S.-Much amusement has
been caused in Tory circles in London by
Healy's appeal TO the Dublin police for
protection from the mob. The minions of
Balfour, who this particular Irish mem.
Der had so oftendenounced In unmeasured
terms, responded TO his call for help Just
in time, it IS said, to save him from per-
sonal harm at the hands of his own coun-
trymen. His principal assailant was
promptly arrested. while the police
dragged Healy by main force out of the
melee TO place of safety All this is in.
teresting reading for the Conservatives
and Liberal Unionists, who will doubtless
enjoy chatting Healy on his experience of
Irish MODS and the constabulary when
they next meet him in parliament
Another Case Somewhat Similar.
A case much like Healy's developed
yesterday, in which Parnell probably is
given an opportunity to contemplate the
old adage that .what Is sauce for the goose
is also sauce for the gander The contempt
for the laws passed by the Saxon which
has been q characteristic of the home rule
agitation in Ireland has had no more IRE
pressible advocate than O'Brien, and yester.
DAY his friends put this contempt to use in q
way that Parnell will probably despise.
The former management of United Ire
and announced that they would issue an
,dition of that paper from the office of The
Nation, an anti-Parnell paper. Parnell's
friends Immediately got out an Injunction
restraining the issue. They might as well
have whistled at the wind. The injunc
lion was contemptuously ignored and the
paper printed and issued
'.ParnelIistic" Violence.
The Parnellites met this move with one
equally lawless. When a wagon loaded
with ths anti-parnell United Ireland
stopped at the railway station 1t was
seized by two men, one masked who drew
revolver and forced the driver to leave
the station and drive to bridge where
the whole load was dumped into the
waters of the Liffey. Another attempt at
seizure was prevented only by the police,
who protected the driver, and the papers
were put ON the train under police protec-
ton. Both Parnell and anti Parnell
United Ireland were issued, one full of
arguments why Parnell should continue to
lead, and the other equally full of the
other view of the matter.
The Fight Transferred to Kilkenny.
KILKENNY, Dec. 13.-ParnelI arrived
yesterday and was enthusiastically re-
ceiyed. He made brief speech. At Athay,
en- route, the crowd at the station booted
and groaned, and shouted, aTo hell with
Parnell" There were cheers for the bish-
ops and priests, and cries OF s.Long live
Dillon and o Brien." The priests at Kill

HIS PET AVERSION.

Flock for Dancing.
NEW YORK, Dec l3-Episcopalians and
Methodists in Sea Cliff, L. l., are greatly
agitated over the extreme action of Rev.
ID. c. Ferris, pastor Of the Methodist
church, in publicly denouncing dancing as
worldly and immoral" What makes the
utterance extraordinary Is the fact that 1t
is directed not to members Of his own
church, but to those OF the neighboring
fold Of st. Luke's Episcopal church.
The Young Folks Danced All the Same
Mr.. Ferris has been quick on every pos
sible occasion for year past to express his
views regarding the young peoples favor
tie amusement The latest of these occa-
sions was an entertainment given by the
Glenwood Social club, at which there was
large attendance OF Methodist and Epis-
copsl young men and women who danced
In happy oblivion of divisions on ecclesias-
tical disapproval.
A Dose OF Hot Shot.
Mr. Ferris took this entertainment for
the text Of particularly bitter TRADE
against dancing. holding the congregation
Of St Luke's as especially responsible, un-
der the delusion that the party referred 70
was in celebration of the church snniver-
sary. This amusement he said among
other things, should be under the ban Of

England to Take q Census.
From the London Times.

From the London Timee.
The bills for taking the census next year have
been published For the most part the ar
rangements are much the same as they were
nine years ago. The census day is fixed for
Sunday, the 9Th Of April. The particulars to
be asked for in England and Wales are the
name, sex, age, profession or occupation, con-
dition rs to marriage, relation to head of fam
lily, and birthplace of every person who abode
in any house on tho night OF the census day,
showing also whether any SUCH person was
blind or deaf or dumb or imbecile or lunatic
The only new question to be put Is one recon-
mended by the census committee-namely,
where the occupier is in occupation of less than
five rooms. as to the number OF rooms occupied
by him. One particular that was asked for at
the last census and IL now omitted, in accord
ance with the committees recommendation, is
the frank" Of each person. In Scotland the
matters to be inquired into are the same as
those in England, except that the new one does
not relate to the number Of rooms occupied,
but is whether any person speaks Gaelic only
or both Gaelic and English. Neither in Eng
land nor in Scotland nor in Wales, 1t will be OBJ
served, is any question to be put as to religion.
In Ireland, however, the religious profession
OF each person is as before, to be asked for.
The other information to be obtained in Ire
land includes the sex, age, birthplace and occu-
patton. However, there Is provision In the
Irish bill that the constabulary are also to take
an account of all such further particulars as,
by the instructions of the lord lieutenants chief
or under secretary, they may be directed to in
quire into.

Stamps That VIII Not Stick.

red stamp will not stick on their letters long
enough to have them delivered through the
mail. Letters are received duly post marked,
showing that the stamp had been affixed,
but quite devoid Of any pay stamp on reach

heard from that come off in the hand

respondent, "a ten-cent special stamp in bit

the result Is bad; sickness goes out of them
and the chances are that they will fall of your

to act by its oiiiness, precisely as the less ee-
giant plan of rubbing the stamps as you buy
them on the hair of your head. Is there any
remedy for stickless stamps? Certainly there
Is. The mucilage bottle, if you have anv

them from uniting with each other

CHARLES CHEw's FATAL LEAP.
He Takes His Life by Jumping From a
Third Story Window.

A young colored man named Charles Chew.
who resided on East Capitol street near Lin
coin Park, committed suicide about o'clock
yesterday afternoon by jumping from the
third story of No. 110s + street northwest.
Chew had been drinking before he entered the
building and his strange conduct attracted the
attention OF a gentleman, who told the janitor
to drive the man out of the building. The
janitor went upstairs to do as ordered
Chew insisted that ne had done nothing
wrong and wanted to remain, but the janitor
told HIM that he would have to leave the build
ing. Chew then said that some of his best
friends had gone back on him and he had
become desperate. Before the janitor could
reach him he jumped headlong on the pave
ment below. Three ribs were broken by the
fall and he received fatal internal injuries.
He was picked up and removed to the Emer-
gency Hospital, where Drs. Ellyson and Mid
dleton rendered temporary relief. The
physicians saw that he could not
possibly recover and they ordered
his removal to Freedmau's Hospital, where he
could receive more attention and get better
accommodations.
The injured man died before 9 o'clock.
