Special Reception.
WASHINGTON, October 25th.-Members of
the Iron and Steel Institute, who have
been on a tour through the South, began TO
arrive ct Washington last night, and came
in large numbers this morning.
They were taken in charge by commit
tee and first taken to the hotels, and after
short rest were escorted to the Patent Office,
where they evinced much interest in the
details of the American patent system.
They then visited the Postofhce Depart
ment and called on the Postmaster General.
The programme for the day includes Wis
its to the Executive Departments. recep-
ton at the White House at 3 o'clock, and
promenade concert at the Arlington Hotel
tonight.
All of the visitors were enthusiastic over
the success of their tour. They were unan-
imous in praise of the country and the
people.
President Harrison gave the visitors a
special reception at the White House in the
afternoon at o'clock. The lower portion
of the house, with the exception OF the blue
parlor, now under repair, was thrown open
for their inspection, and the beautiful east
room, where the reception proper took
place, was tastefully decorated with potted
plants. As special compliment. the ma
rine band was present and played selec.
tons of English, German and American
airs.
The receiving party consisted of Presi-
dent and Mrs Harrison, Secretary and Mrs.
Noble, Attorney General and Mrs. Miller,
Secretary and Mrs. Window, Secretary and
Mrs. Rusk, Secretary Proctor and Mrs.
Dimmick. They were accompanied by
Assistant Secretary Adee of the State De.
psrtment and Colonel Ernest of the army,
who assisted in making the presentations
Owing to the fact that the executive
mansion is still in the hands of the decora-
tors and refurnishers, thus rendering many
Of the rooms unavailable, the reception
was necessarily informal and consisted
solely of the personal presentation to Presi'
! dent and Mrs. Harrison of each visitor.

The Civilized West.

In the old days of the West, before New
York and New England had made them
selves felt in the development of pioneer
settlements, the possession of a fine house,
and especially the decoration of its inte-
rior, were looked upon more as an evil
dence of weakmindedness than as proof of
the westward march of the higher civili-
cation. With the steady growth of an
Eastern-bred population, the ruder ideas
of Western life were driven into the mac
cessible parts of the country, and the East
ern traveller found little difference between
the towns and cities of the West and North
west and those of the East. In most West
ern communities the dominating ideas of
societies and home life have so far changed
that a coachman in livery is no longer an
object of derision, nor is man with silk
hat an object for pistol practice. 1t is not
long time ago that silk hats and coach
men were unknown in the West, if not ac-
tually prohibited. Few persons who have
not seen the West since the boisterous pio-
neer days would recognize it now, because
all that made it famous then has disap-
peared to return no more, and in its place
there have grown up towns and cities as
far advanced in the arts and usages of CIV
ilization as any other places in the United
States. Where the rough living pioneer
disputed possession with the Indians ten
years ago, there now stands a city of 10000
industrious and cultured people, who have
built for themselves homes as comfortable
and as refined as the homes of their broth
ers of the older East. Three hundred years
ago the advance-guard of an ancient civili-
cation overran the western and southwest
ern part of America and subdued its half
savage inhabitants; in this generation the
rank and file of newer civilization have
completed and made permanent the con-
quest. There is nothing left for the pio-
neer to do. The waste places and the saw
age inhabitants have been subdued, and in
the Pacific Northwest, at least, there is
nothing left for the pioneer but complete
assimilation with the thrifty farmers of
the Palou.e country or the fortunate mi
ners of the Ceur Alene.- Harper's Weekly.

Weeping Widows,

Mourning is happy opportunity for a
woman, and the reason shall never marry
is the fear lest my wife should get rid of
me in order to go into mourning for me-
There are, however, some women who can
not turn their sorrow to account, and who
weep in such a way that they make their
noses red, and distort their features like
the faces we see on fountains This is
serious danger. There Is need of many
charms and much art to weep agreeably
otherwise there is risk of not being COM
forted for a long time. Yet, notwithstand-
ing the pleasure of making some Artemista
faithless to the shade of her Mausolus,
canno. really choose from among this
swarm of lamenting ones her whose heart
l shall ask in exchange for my own.-IHe-

years Imprisonment, was taken to the
penitentiary at Walla Walla to-day. the

White obtained about $4,000 from the
banks of this city on fraudulent checks

saloon-keeper. Last summer John Hanson,
while intoxicated, went to Beliefs saloon
and took seventeen morphine pills in

times committed suicide in the same sa-
loon, and Belief not wishing repetition
of the tragedy, dragged Hanson out of the
saloon, and hid him under tie sidewalk,
where ne lay several hours before discov-
cred. Hanson died shortly after being
found. Mrs. Hanson then brought suit
for damages against Belief for causing the
death of her husband.

THE NEW YORK CENSUS.
Superintendent Porter Does Not Think a
Recount Necessary.


New York, October 25th-Robert P.
Porter, Superintendent of the Federal Gen.
sus, arrived from Europe yesterday. The
police count at New York, be said, was no
evidence that recount of the entire city
was necessary. "If," said he, 1.-The books
used in making that count are forwarded
to Washington they can be used if deemed
essential, after a comparison with the Fed
ersl returns, in verifying the count. That
is. if we find missing on our returns many
names. we can send special enumerators
here to ascertain if such names are those of
persons who were actually residents of the
CITY on June LIST. 1t might be necessary TO
verify the names in every ward, but 1t
would not in any event be necessary to re-
count the city,"
Mr.. Porter said it was an easy matter for
the police to add 100000 names to the Fed
eral census by q system OF duplication.
Anv number of names of business men
might be given at their office addresses as
well as at their homes. This would swell
the enumeration enormously. This sys-
tenn he said, "had been followed in ST.
Paul and Minneapolis by the Federal
some of whom had been in
dicted while others had fled to Canada"
He would not be able to say what action
the Federal authorities would take until
he had conferred with the Secretary OF the
Interior

Unexpeoted Generositv

A woman entered a drug store not far
from Beacon street the other evening, and
said that she wished to purchase a tooth
brush. The proprietor laid out number
of these articles upon the counter for her
inspection, and turned away to attend to
the wants Of another customer In short
time the female approached him and said
in the sweetest of tones:
g have tried them all, and think that
like this one the best, so | will take it."
The astonished proprietor took one look
at her, gave one moment to silent reiec-
ton and meditation, then said;
Madam, you may have them all for the
price of this one. | will make you pres
ent of themD
The woman no doubt is yet wondering
at the cause of his unexpected generosity.

RUINED REPUTATION.
A stockbroker Confesses to Forging Sig
natures TO Bank Checks

hatoAcs u OutCks.
BRocKToS (Mass.), October 25sh.-Charles
w. Robinson, a well.known stock broker,
who has been doing business through John
Stetson's banking house in Boston, is a
self-confessed forger. The amount will
not fall short of Ss5 900.
A short time since he took Sewall P.
Howard and Emerson Goldwait as special
partners in the brokerage business. Last
Monday, hearing that the firms account
with Stetson was closed, they informed
Robinson and insisted upon an explana.
ton. He confessed TO the forging of sigma
lures to a number of notes, and has since
disappeared.
The Home National Bank of this city
holds $50, 900 of forged paper against Gold
wait and Howard, and a large amount is
held by the Brockton National Bank and
Plymouth banks.
Robinson's customers losses will sggre-
gate thousands. 1t is feared some will be
ruined by the defalcations. The cause of
his downfall is that he has been speculat.
ing heavily unknown to his partners,

THE LONDON MURDER.
A Woman Arrested Charged with Com
hitting the Crime.

LONDON, October 25th.-The body of the
woman found in South Hamstead locality
last night shows the crime bears no resem-
blance to those committed by Jack, the
Ripper" A medical examination roves
that the woman did not belong to the
Whitechapel class. The body was that of
a woman about 30 years of age and well
clad. Her throat was cut and her skull
fractured All her pockets were empty. A
perambulator containing blood stained
fur rug was found near by, and it is sup
posed was used to convey the body from
the spot where the crime was committed
to where it was found.
The body of the murdered woman is that
of Mrs. Hobbs, wife of porter.
An investigation shows that Mrs. Hobbs
started yesterday to visit Mrs. Piercey.
The house was visited to day, and showed
marks OF q terrible struggle. A bloody
carving knife and bent poker, smeared
with blood, and to which adhered locks of
woman's hair, were found. Mrs. Percey
was arrested to-day, charged with murder
ing Mrs Hobbs and her child.

edges together with the dark side of
leather inside) and sew them, and it is
ready for use. Take the egg to be tested,
hold it up to bright light, place the eye
at the other end, and you see exactly what
condition the egg is in. The leather ad-
justs itself to the egg so as to exclude all
the light. Another good point in its favor
is that there is no danger of breaking the
egg by accidentally letting the tester fall
or by striking the egg against it.

GLADsroNE,s VIEWS.
He Believes in the Unition of the Three
Presbyterian Churches.

LTcsDytcf ShuFChcss
LONDON, October 25th.-In an address at
Dalkeith tonight, referring TO the Scottish
home rule movement, Gladstone said he
believed that whatever Scotland deliber-
ately asked would be found to be consist
ent with the unity of the empire, and
would obtain the assent of Parliament
Touching the matters of the Scottish
crofters, Gladstone deprecated the idea of
emigration as remedy for the distress.
With reference to the disestabishment of
the Scottish Church, Gladstone said it
would be an enormous advantage to Scot
land, and to the cause of religion, if the
three Presbyterian Churches were united.
This step, however, he did not deem ad-
vissble at present, for in the approaching
general elections the disestablishment of
the Church would be made test question
to the exclusion of all others demanding
an adjustment by Parliament.
