LONDON, Sept. 20.-Cardinal Manning
gives out today for publication, a letter
received by him a few days ago from
Monsigneur Mocenni, archbishop Of
Heliopolis, and under secretary of state
to the papal see, in reference to the re-
cent death of Cardinal Newman. 1t
read as follows: THE holy father has
laid upon me the honorable duty Of
making known to your eminence that
he has received your letter informing
him Of the death of Cardinal Newman.
His holiness understands full well the
special sorrow which your eminsnce
must have felt in the loss of a colleague
with whom you had many events of life
in common, and to whom you were
bound for SO many years by the closest
ties OF friendship. | need hardly tell
you That his holiness also was deeply
grieved by the announcement of the de-
parture of a man who by mis- learning,
his writings and his singular piety gave
great ~splendor TO the sacred college.
His holiness does not doubt that the
departed has already received the re-
ward of his virtues; nevertheless, he
has not failed, and he will continue to
pray for the repose of his blessed soul.
1t is by the express command OF the
holy father that make this communi-
cation to your eminence, aud have to
add that he offers his most earnest
prayers to God fuI the preservation or
your eminence, and gives you his affec-
tionate blessing"

As TO DomesttC "HeIp,~

Women are still at a premium in some
parts OF the country. This is the con-
dition Of affairs at Helena. Mont,
writes q correspondent of a New York
paper. Our cook has SO much company
in her part of the house that we in the
we are saying to n another at times.
She joins in the laugh around the table,
as she plies backward and forward with
the dishes, and puts in her oar in the
conversation When one lively young
lady presided in our kitchen we had te
remember honest Diggory's" warning
against telling stories too amusing to
be heard. by the n whom We did not
wish to hear laugh louder than the
company at the table. One day moth
ing came from the kitchen, and when
my wife went TO see what had happened
the cook was In tears because she had
been requested to bring in the dinner.
One left in disgust because 1.-THE boys"
as she was pleased to call my
55-year-old brother and a friend Of
his, did not greet her when she returned
TO work after an absence of a week or
two. Our cooks, both white and colored,
are married off so fast that We have to
look out for q successor very often.
We quite envied a neighbor who had
found a cook SO old and hopelessly i'll.
favored that we thought no one in his
senses could think of matrimony in con
ncction with her. But one day this
grayest of gray geese came out of her
kitchen all of a lutter. "A man had
brought a letter of introduction tho
old soul simpered, ''and he wants to
marry me-" ''You won't be such a
~blockhead as to marry him?" the young
mistress asked. "Why, ma'am,'' was
the reply, almost pathetic in its a~rtless-
ness, sit may be the last chance" But
the old girls brother got wind OF it the
next day and broke up this little scheme
on the heart and wages of the lo%velorn
relative. 1t must indeed have been
the last chance, as her prophetic soul
had told her, for she is still a spinster.

Senator Farwen Very Sick.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2o.-Despite the on
Trajectory and conflicting reports which
have been given currency regarding the
health of Senator Charles b. Farwell, it
is nevertheless . fact that the senator
is a very sick man. His intimate friends
admit in confidential conversation that
his career ss a public nan and a legis-
lator Is about ended, and say that it
is very doubtful IL he is ever able Il re-
sumo his seat in the senate chamber at
Washington. Since his return from
Waukesha he has kept closely to his
beautiful country home at Lake Forest,
taking about one short walk weekly. A
physician Is q guest in the mansion, and
is constantly within call for fear his
services should be needed in an emery
ency. The breakdown in the senator's
health is said to be largely attributable
to his unhealthy surroundings at Wash
ington.

MAN OF WAR EoUNoEREp.
A Turkish Man OF Wal ship Lost at Sea
and 400 Peoplo DR. mad

and 800 People Drowned.
LONDON, Sept 20.-Advices from
Hiogo state that the Turkish man OF
war, Ertogroul, foundered at sea and
that 500 of her crew were drowned. The
Ertogroul was a wooden frigate- built
structure of 2,334 ton displacement.
She mounted 141 guns of small
caliber and was built in 1868. Osman
Pacha and Ali Aacha, ENJOYS of the sui
tan to the emperor of Japan, were pass
engers and were drowned. Osman Pa
cha, whose victory over the Prussians
at Pleyna gave him high rank as a fight
ing general, had been on an official visit
TO Japan, having been intrusted with q
special mission from the sultan TO the
mikado. The progress of the Ertogroul
since she left Constantinople for the
east many months ago has been most
ludicrous. Leaving Turkey short OF
money it was understood that supplies
would be sen her to the ports at which
she was to call, with the result that her
s~ojourn in those countries was in
definitely prolonged, as the officers at
home were not able to keep their prom
Use. In this way she lost some of her
crew and her officers, many times, were
on the verge Of rebellion, induced
by starvation, while the governors OF
the cities visited refused to remit the
harbor dues and grant other privileges
of right due her as a Turkish mah-of-
war, on the ground that she was not
sailing in that character, as there was
not powder enough on board to enable
her to fire the regulation salutes. After
many adventures, only worthy OF an
opera bouffe navy, the Ertogroul finally
arrived in Japanese waters and was on
her return when the disaster occurred.

THE CONFERENCE AT SPENCER.
The Attendance Large and Hospitality
Equal to the Occasion.

IN Attendance Large and Hospitality
Equal to the Occasion.
SPENCER, Ia, Sept. 20.-The NJ. +.
conference now in session here is one
of the most interesting and profitable
in the history Of the conference. Every
train brings new arrivals, and the hos
pitality Of Spencer's good people are
equal to the emergency. This morning
the conference recorded its vote against
equal lay and clerical representation in
the general conference. The candi-
dates for elders orders were all elected
by the conference. Rev. DR.. Spencer,
representative of the Freedman's Aid
society, was Introduced and addressed
the conference. The candidates for ad-
mission to deacons' orders and full con-
n~ection n conference were called up
and addressed by Bishop Fowler. The
bishop very impressively defined the
character and work of a perfect Meth
odist minister and urged the young men
to aim at nothing lower. He warned
them not to kill the church by poverty
of thought in their scrmons, or lack Of
devotion in their work. He emphasized
the fact hat they were called to preach,
not to talk twaddle. Rev. DR.. Spencer
then represented the claims of the
church extension society. Rev. g. w.
Southwell was announced as transferred
TO this conference from Nebraska. The
anniversary OF the church extension So
ciety was held this afternoon. DIR.
Spencer's address was appreciated, and
a well.timed allusion to Abraham Lin
coin evoked great applause.

Congressman LAWYERS Successor to
BE Named Today.

CHICAGO, Sept. 20.-A candidate to
succeed Congressman Lawler will be
placed in nomination by the democratic
convention which met at noon today.
'Our Frank" as he is Familiarity termed
in Chicago, is not a candidate before the
convention. AS a matter of fact he
would not accept the nomination we're
it rendered to him on a silver platter.
His three terms or six years of congress-
ional life has convinced him that there
is nothing in it for a man who expects
to lay up a little something for old age,
sickness or <innrmity. Hence he has
abandoned the role OF a statesman ana
is now engaged in a scramble for the
loaves and fishes, in the shape Of a
nomination TO the office of sheriff, a po-
sition which is worth a couple OF humid
red dollars per day, board, washing
and attendance included. Frank Law
Ter has made a very good congressman,
and his work in behalf of the worlds
fair has counted for more than that of
all the rest of the Chicago representa-
tives combined. The principal candi-
dates before the convention today are
Larry McGann, whose nationality is in
Dictated by his name, and Assistant Cor
poration Counsel, c. 5. Darrell. The
fight between the two will be close.

CHICAGO, Sept. 20.-At the meeting
Of the worlds fair commissioners the
report of the executive committee was
read by the secretary as follows: The
directors of the worlds Columbian ex-
position, having recommended George

Of Massachusetts.
At the request of the president these

nounced the standing committees.
The informal ballot for director-gens
eral resulted: Davis, so; Hastings. 32t

Fourteen commissioners did not vote.
On motion of Mr.. Mcclellan, Of Penn
