TRIED TO. MOB HIM.
Catholics Violently Object to the Re-
marks of an Ex-Priest.

AMEsBURY, Mass Oct. 30.-A for
ivered q lecture here last night on ''Ro-
manism," and although repeatedly inter-
rupted, he went through to the epo. 1n
the afternoon he spoke privately to ladies,
explaining the sins OF priests connected
with nuns in the converts Of America. A
large number Of the finest ladies in the
city were present, and highly praised the
ex-priest for his talk. -.
The Roman Catholic citizens OF the city,
however, are indignant, and last evening
at o'clock when he was to pass from the
hotel to the opera house, thousands Of cit
liens Of all nations and religions were
crowded around tho hotel, and the side
walk to the opera house, distance Of
abont 500 yards, was one surging mass OF
humanity. The entire police force under
City Marshal Goodwin were on duty. Po-
lice in citizens clothes preceded the lee
turer, and the night force in uniform
closely followed HIM.
Cries Of "turncoat," "liar," and other
obnoxious names were used as he passed
through the main street of the city,s shut
when he arrived in front Of the postofice
the most public spot in the city, showers
of rocks and other missiles were hurled at
him. One large stone hi; him over the
temple, knocking him insensible. 1t could
not be learned who threw the stone. When
he had SO far recovered as to be able to
speak he rushed into the very midst OF the
crowd and offered reward of 81, 900 TO the
person who would point to him the man
who threw a.stone or any other missile.
he was then taken to the opera house,
where an extra large crowd of citizens
had already gathered and was greeted
with round after round Of applause, as GOV
cred with blood he mounted the stage nd
delivered bitter address against the Ro'
man Catholic Church.
The Get There Club" purely Ameri-
can organization, attended the lecture in a
body to offer protection to the lecturer.
The city is greatly excited over the occur
renee, and serious trouble, II not blood
shed, is feared. The ex priests hotel was
surrounded at night by an excited crowd.

THE sEHRING SEA DISPUTE.
Sir Julian Pauncefote Viii Propose
Arbitration.

In recent interview the British
minister spoke Of the settlement OF the
Behring Sea controversy as follows:
Il shall renew to MIR. Blaine my propo-
sition for arbitration, for that is the only
sure remedy for the existing condition Of
affairs. Despite the fact that. tho articles
looking TO this were not made on las
April when presented them. itspeaks
well for Secretary Blaine and tie people
of the United States that no acts Of hostil-
ity were perpetrated during the sealing
session just closed. There has however,
been changes in the negotiations since
Lord Salisbury submitted the proposition
for arbitration to Mr. Blaine, to which, by
the way, the latter has vouchsafed no re-
ply. Still it is an important matter, and
presume the secretary of state desires TO
consider it very fully and in all its bear
ings before making any recommendations.
Prom the commencement the object of
negotiation has been the preservation Of
the fur. seal species for the benefit of man
kind, and no considerations of advantage
TO any particular nation, or of benefit TO
any private interests, should fall into the
question. Hence, there is urgent necessity
for mixed commission OF two persons,
who should be allowed at least two years
in which to make an investigation Of this
question, and submit the result OF their
finding 10 tho governments as speedily as
possible. Pending the result OF such an
inquiry it Is improbable that any apprecia-
tive diminuiion Of the seal species would
take place. But in order to quiet all ap-
-Pfeheusion on that score propose the fol-
lowing provision to the regulations:
-"FirstThat peIagic scaling be prohib-
tied in thh Behring sea, sea of Ochotsk
and adjoining waters, during the months
Of October, November and December, the
migration periods OF the fur seal.
"Second-All scaling vessels be prohibi
ted from approaching the breeding islands
within q radius of ten miles.

Germs In a Bsby's Jaw.

The development OF teeth germs,
from infancy to mature life, is one OF
the most interesting phases OF human
growth. Pass the finger along the
tiny jaw of the newcomer. Not only
is there nothing which presages fu-
ture teeth, says an exchange, but the
Jaws themselves seem too delicate and
frail to become the sockets for such
hard working portions Of the anato-
my Yet there are fiftytwo tooth
germs hidden there, waiting their
time, though not all OF them could be
detected by the most skillful detec-
tion. Twenty of these are for the
temporary teeth, with which, in due
time, the child will begin TO gnaw or
chew his way through life; the others
include the permanent set and the
molars, none of which begin to make
their presence known till the child is
about six years old, and the wisdom
teeth do not usually appear till about
eighteen.
The little pulp-germ grows and de-
velops till it approximates the shape
of the tooth it is TO become, then ii
begins to calcify, forming the dentine
part OF the crown, while the enamel
is deposited by an independent pro-
cess. The surface OF the crown attains
its full size before the process OF elon-
CATION commences. Then gradually
it pushes its way outward through
the gum, absorbing the tissue as it ad-
vances till the pure white enamel
peeps out, to the mothers great de-
light. The first sight OF the incisors
usually appears at about the age OF
five months, and the temporary set OF
twenty is completed at about three
years of age, but there is no uniform
ity or certainty in regard to the age
or which Of the four central incisors
will first appear. The process OF
"teetiiing" is almost invariably one OF
disturbance to the health Of the child;
lie is liable to fret and worry, especial
ly il the outer membrane or skin OF
the gum proves tenacious and does
not readily absorb. In this case it
should be Ianced-an operation which
is humane, in that it relieves the dis
comfort OF the child, and IL entirely
harmless, as there is seldom any hem
orrhage worth the name, and II there
should be a slight flow of blood, it
readily yields TO simple treatment.
The application Of dust OF powdered
alum is usually sufficient.
