GEN. BOOTHS SCHEME.
His Novel Plan to Help the Poor the
 Chief Subject in England.

His Novel Plan to Help the Poor the
 Chief Subject in England.
 LONDON, Nov. 0-Archdeacon Farrar delivered an earnest address at Vest minister Abbey in support of the scheme of General Booth for the redemption of England's poverty-stricken masses.
 The announcement that the archdeacon would speak on this topic had attracted such a throng of people that after the Abbey had been crowded to its utmost capacity thousands were turned away, unable to gain admission.
 General Booths novel and alluring plan is now one of the chief subjects of public interest. Twenty leading clergymen of Great Britain have signed an appeal to the people to raise the $5,000,000 which General Booth thinks would be required to successfully carry out the enterprise. Cardinal Manning and most of the Protes- tant bishops have endorsed the plan. The Prince of Wales has written General Booth heartily approving the scheme, which he describes as an intelligent and promising effort ''to aid the people whose welfare is near my heart"

HUNTING A MOLE.

How One of the Velvet-Coated Diggers
 Was Caught Alive.
 A live mole being ''much desired'' to illustrate natural-history lesson, specimen of the velvet-coated digger which was ravaging a conservatory was caught in the following exciting man. ner:
 The gardener and I resolved to catch it." He was anxious to prevent further mischief to his plants, and I was wish ing to help the lecturer by sending a lively specimen to illustrate his subject. The exciting part of the business was the necessity of making the capture be- fore eleven o'clock, when the carrier would pass by, and, taking charge of the animal, would deliver it in time for the lecture next day. We watched for the upheaving of the mole's run, which came at last The gardener made quick plunge with his hand into the soft earth, but, alas! the mole escaped. He kept quiet for ten minutes, then another at tempt was made and failed. The car rier's bell sounded and he passed by. l still kept watch and again saw the earth move-the third time was successful. had gone to find a tin box and on my re- turn was greeted with: ''Here's the mole, ma'amp' Poor fellow! he was be- ing ignominiously held up by the scrufl of his neck and kicking furiously at the indignity. He was soon packed up in soft grass, with a plentiful supply o1 worms to feast upon by the way. A special messenger overlook the carrier and telegram was sent to announce the dispatch of the precious animal
 He first reached a London office, where fear he tended to hinder business, as it was needful to transfer him to a cage and no one seemed particularly anxious for the honor of catching him, as his teeth were known to be both sharp anc numerous and his disposition not of the meelzest. However, he was placed il his cage and gave wonderful pleasure when exhibited to the children.-Mrs Brighten's Stories of Pet Animals.

SOME FAMOUS BULLS.
A Collection of Laughnble Remarks
 Made by Sir Boyle Roche.

A Collection of Laughnble Remarks
 Made by Sir Boyle Roche.
 The story iy well known of S.r Boyle Roche asking in the Irish Parliament: "Why we should put ourselves out of the way to do any thing for posterity, for what has posterity done for us?" But the sequel is not equally we'll known. Supposing, from the roar of laughter which greeted this question, that the House had misunderstood him, he ex- plained ''that by posterity he did not at all mean our ancestors, but those who were to come immediately after them" Upon hearing this explanation 'it was impossible" Burlington assures us, ito do any serious business for half an hour. " Sir Boyle was an ardent supporter of the union, and excited one day gem eral litter by his forid picture of the happiness which was to ensue from that event.
 "Gentlemen," retorted Sir Boyle, who had lisp, ''may titther and titther and titther, and may think it bad measure, but their heads at present are hot and will so remain till they grow cool again, and so they can't decide right now; but when the day of judgment comes, then honorable gentlemen will be satisfied at
 
 no Levitical degrees between nations, and on this occasion can see no sin nor shame in marrying our own sister," Arguing on another occasion in favor of suspending the habeas corpus act in Ire- land, would be better, MT. Speaker" said he, ''to give up not only part, but, if necessary, even the whole of our con- stitution, to preserve the remainder Rn1 11c13 fn ho nd ous to the soil of Ireland. But the most typical ''bull" makers, like Sir Boyle Roche, do not belong to the Irish race. We once heard a witty Irish prelate de- clare that "bulls'' were more common in England than in Ireland, and he added that he had that very day received an application from an English clergyman fur subscription toward the purchase of burial ground for his parish, which has grown to the dimensions of small town with 80, GOO inhabitants. Ut is de- plorable to think" said this clergyman, ''of parish where there arc 30, 900 peo- l pie living without Christian burial"
 No exhaustive analysis has ever been given of the origin and genesis of ''bulls," but we believe they very often come from extreme quickness of appre- 1 hension, the mind leaping to it's conc1u- sion without passing through the inter mediate stages of the process, like the judge who, in passing sentence on a burglar, said: ''You ought to be ashamed of yourself, sir; you, a strong, sturdy fellow, instead of which you go and break into peoples houses" Sir Jonat Burlington himself was no mean hand in the manufacture of 'bulls," and o sayings which, all unconsciously fol him, had double meaning. Wishing to be civil to gentleman whom he me for the first time, he said to him o1 parting: My dear sir, if ever you should find yourself within ten miles of m. house, mind you stay there. ."-Spectator

iBertha Phipps Identified the Prisoner
 Who Assaulted Her-AH Sorts of Threats
 Made Against the Jailers if they Allow
 Rioters Arrested.
 ANNAPOLIS, Md, Nov. 10.-Another att tempt was made last night to rescue the negro Ernest Forbes, who was arrested on Friday, charged with assault upon Miss Bertha Phipps, a young girl living with her widowed mother and uncle in the country. Sheriff Armiger had heard that an attack would be made upon the jail during the night, and attempted to take him to place of safety. He had got only a short distance from the jail when he was espied by some colored men. They immediately gave the alarm and a rush was made for the deputy and his prisoner. A general fight between whites and blacks followed. The deputy, how ever, succeeded in getting his prisoner into a store nearby and locking the door.
 In the meantime the mob increased to several hundred persons, mostly colored, who clamored for the prisoner and at tempted to break open the place. The sheriff soon summoned a posse of men, who with the aid of the police drove the mob back. A number or shots were fired. One officer was slightly wounded in the face and another in the arm. Threats to Burn the Jail.
 Several negroes were wounded in the melee and the greatest excitement pre- vailed. Threats were made to burn the 1 jail down, and strong guard was kept | on the premises all night. The Cover nor's Guards, about 40 muskets, were ordered out. These had the effect to dis l perse the crowd, but it was hot until 3 o'clock this morning that quiet was re- stored. In the meantime the sheriff took the prisoner back to jail, where he is securely guarded.
 About 20 negroes were arrested and put in jail for melting riot and assaulting the deputy and police. One of the rioters was severely wounded in the head by z pistol shot. The Sheriff expects an at tack upon the jail at any time.
 It was reported to-day that the girl hat died. She was only 15 years of age, and was going to the field to milk the cow
 last Thursday when she was attacked b! Forbes. He crept stealthily up behint
 her, threw her down and stuffed he
 apron in her mouth. She was foun'
 some time afterward lying unconsciou
 in the field. When she recovered sh
 identified Forbes as her assailant.

American Silk Plushes.

Pushes are manufactured in England, France and Germany. The silk plushes used in this market are the product of American labor. Pennsylvania is the center of this silk plush industry. Within the last four or five years all the silk plush used in the United States was imported from England. About four years ago the first American silk-plush plants were established. At first the same price was charged for them as for English tapestry, but the manufacturers here and abroad began to cut prices and when this warfare was well under way it was not great while before the American maker was on top. We fur nish the market frst-class article in silk plush at much lower price than is asked for the imported plush, There is in fact very little difference between the grade of silk plush goods made in England and those produced in this country. The Saunterer was informed that there is one firm in Philadelphia whose silk plushes are equal in every way to the English. Chicago Post.

THE publication of the so called Birch all autobiography in several of the lead ing newspapers of the country is not a creditable piece of journalistic enter prise. The story as written by the young murderer now awaiting sentence of death in Canadian jail is a miser- able mess of stuff, senseless when it is is not vulgar, and without interest of any character whatsoever. No one would read a dozen lines of it were it not exploited as the work of red-hand- ed scoundrel who is soon to die on the gallows. Such a publication would naturally be looked for in the columns of the flash weeklies that deal with criminals.

DISPATCHES from Massilon, Ohio, re- port that Russell & Co of that place, have made a reduction of 32 per cent in the wages of those, and only those, of their men who voted against Mckinley, and that MT Russell, when questioned on the subject, avowed the wrong with brutal frankness saying Hereafter in our shops free traders will receive free trade wages" If the report is true, these men have been guilty of an at- tempt to deny to American citizens the rights which constitute citizenship, and | to make themselves "masters" of their workmen in the degrading sense in which that word was used in slavery times. If there is no law in Ohio to punish such attempts upon the liberty of the workingman, the workingmen of the state should see to it that the sta tutes are amended, even if they have to break a houseful of political crockery tc compel the legislation for the protection of their manhood.

THE question of bonding the city in the sum of $s50.000 for the purpose of obtaining another water supply was suL- mitted to the people nearly two years ago and was buried under the prepon- derance of votes cast against it. Why Because the board of water commis. sioneIs were determined to sink the money in an experiment that would surely fail. If the court of common council accepts the last report of the commissioners and adopts their recon mendation in regard to Hop brook, any attempt to issue the necessary bonds will be defeated at the polls by a major ity that will show once for all that thC taxpayers are in no mood to be trifled with.
