EVA'S BABY.
She Admits That 1t Is Not the
Child of Hamilton.

she AuunitS IndC III ~ NOI lHO
Child of Hamilton.
NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-'rhe Surrogate's
court. where Eva Hamilton is contest
ing for widows dover, was to-day
filed with the same familiar faces, tho
women outnumbering the men three TO
one. The interest in "that baby" is
the explanation for this, and they heard
considerable to satisfy their interest.
Counsel for Eva stated that his client
had received telegram that her mother
was dead, and that in order to reach
home she must leave the court at noon.
They were, therefore, prepared to make
concessions if the surrogate would con-
sent to her departure. Eva was then
called to the stand aud the following
read to her:
1T is admitted by the contestant that the
child which the contestant Jestities was born
in Pennsylvania on November 10 1883, was
not the child of Robert Ray Hamilton. 1t Is
admitted by the contestant that the child
known as Beatrice Ray and christened such
at Atlantic City, N. j., and a respondent i'll
this proceeding, is not the child of Robert
Ray Hamilton"
did you hear that?'' asked the surrogate
of Eva, land is il soy
Yes" she replied very family, and
the court room was disturbed by con-
siderable sensation which lasted sew
eral minutes. Thus the baby question
was settled for good and all, and after
questioning she admitted that her rela-
tions to Mann were that of mistress.
She also admitted telling the bank Of
ficialS that she was the wife of Mann.
She was overwhelmed with questions
by the surrogate, opposing counsel aud
her own counsel, contradicting herself
on material points, and in some inst
ances changing the nature of testimony
previously given, Other witnesses
were examined and the case adjourned
until tomorrow.

Love Match in Royal Circles.

The engagement of Princess Louise
of Sehleswig- HolStein to Prince Aribert
of Anholt, has given her family great
pleasure. The marriage is one of affection
and the only other drawback is that the
young couple will not De very plenti-
fully endowed with riches according to
royal standards. But $4,000 a year
goes good deal further In Germany
than in America. The queen of Eng
land is much pleased to give her grand
daughter an allowance, and the en-
peror of Germany has shown his APP
proval i'll a substantial manner. The
marriage takes place in the spring. prob
ably at Windsor in the private chapel, land
the young people will live i'll Germany.
The bridegroom father and his family
are very old friends of the brides peo-
pie, and in Germany much Importance
is attached to these traditions. Princess
Louise is evidently an attractive person,
for. though only nineteen, she has found
favor in other royal eyes. 1t is said in
Berlin that the he'll. to the throne OF

WOMEN IN VARIOUS LIGHTS.

Mrs. Herbert Saylor-Leyland. form
eriy Miss Jennie Chamberlain and
daughter of W. s. Chamberlain, of
Cleveland. O., will probably inherit
some of the fortune of her uncle. Selah
Chamberlain. one of the great railroad
builders of the country, who died last
Saturday night. The latter had no
children of his own. and always treated
his pretty niece as though she were his
daughter. She was for many seasons
the fayorite among the American beau
ties in London, and the Prince of Wales,
who is reputed to be the best
Judge in England, said she
was the handsomeSt woman of
her age. Flattery and admiration did
not seem to turn her head, and she pre-
served the charm of manner which was
her chief characteristic. Her husband
is the heir to great wealth. and she Will
one day be mistress OF one of the finest
private mansions in London.
American women who marry English
men generally become more English
than the English themselves. They
dabble in politics good deal, taking
the sides oh which they find their huS-
bands to be, and show great zeal. Most
of them are married to Tories. Lady
Randolph Churchill. who is daughter
OF Leonard Jerome. of New York, is one
of the leaders of the Primrose DANES.
Mrs. Nayior-Leyland is an exception to
this rule. She ever troubles herself
about politics.

BUYING REINDEER,


Among the minor items asked Tor Dy
the interior department in the appro-
priationS is one for procuring reindeer
for Alaska. This would be taken for
one of Uncle JERRY RUsK's agricult-
ural freaks, did it come in his depart
ment. Yet this may be one of the most
meritOriouS points in the bill. The
mind has hardly become familiar with
the idea that Alaska extends up to the
Arctic waters and that there is popu-
lation Of some thousands in the north
ern half Of the vast territory, although
it is not remembered that Mr.. PORTER
has said much about them in his census.
They are EsquimauX, and have sub
sisted mainly upon the flesh OF whales,
seals, walruSes and deer. All these
sources of food supply have been greatly
reduced or rendered very precarious
of late by the agency of par
tics in the main not natives.
These Esquimaux do not perhaps add
much to the value of the purchase
made by Secretary SEWARD, but they
were there first. and never get up ghost
dances and make trouble like some
other aborigines. They seem to have
a right to live, although they 10 not
perhaps display much sense in their
choice of a location. In bad years of
late their eommissary stores give out
so that they have to full back upon
dogs, old boots and other stuff that
people put into the soup only in hard
times. One of these seasons five years
ago was severe that it was found neces-
sary to reduce the eaters, and conse-
quently they put out, to gently freeze
to death, all the old and helpless, the
superfuou5 wives, scolding women and
puuy children. Still. a great number
died of starvation and disease. The
object of the reindeer is to obvlate
this danger. They are adapted to the
country, and it is proposed to bring
them over from the coast of Siberia,
where there are vast herds of them.
These reindeer furnish milk, meat,
clothing. houses. furniture, implements,
and everything, in fact, needed for life
and the state of civilization in that
quarter. Every part of the animal has
mission, even the bones being soaked
in seal oil and used for fuel. As tray
eler, 100 miles day is common thing.
A small appropriation for giving these
people the reindeer would seem reason
able, as there is a good deal of room
there that other people do not care for.

the Republican senators really believe
in the policy OF the measure, or that 1t
would be judicious in a party sense to
enact it. Could they not pass any bill
that their strong majority was earnestly
for, they should go home and let the
minority run the body. A legislative
body in which the majority does not
control would be an anomaly. A vote
can be had in the senate whenever the
Republicans unitedly determine to have
it. AS the directing element of the
party is now allowed to manipulate the
matter, it is not surprising that it ex-
cites disgust in the minds OF the
sensible members. who want to make
better record than the past year. Inc
Democrats may observe and smile.

A Divorce of the Hour.

Mrs. Burke Roche, who obtained a
divorce in Delaware last week from a
scion of British nobility, is tall, slender,
admirably proportional and a good type
of tue athletic New York woman OF to-
day. She has the keen love for sport
which distinguishes all of the children
of Frank Work. She is one of the most
accomplished of horSew0men. The En-
glish society papers have been very
warm in their defense of Hon. Burke
Roche. the Irishman from whom Frank
Works eldest daughter has just been
divorced 1t is claimed by English pa
pers that the brides family was fully
cognizant of the fact that Mr.. Burke
Roche had no money when the mar
rage took place, and suit for non-sup-
port at this late date is not exactly fair.
it does not seem to occur to the writer's
on the subject in England that there is
any particular reason why MIR. Burke
Roche should not work for his living, as
other men do 1t has apparently never
occurred to Mr.. Burke-Roche himself.

Not a Freight Train Left on

CHICAGO, Jan. 2l.-General Manager
Tucker. of the Chicago & Erie road. adj
mitted to reporter to-day that his road
had been practically tied up by the
strike of the train dispatchers. The
only train that went out this morning
was the T:3O mail train for Columbus.
o., consisting only of an engine and
mail car. Shortly after o'clock the
New York train arrived, about thirty
minutes late. Outside of these and one
or two freight trains everything was
tied up on this division of the road, eX
tending to Salamanca, n. Y, which is
the only division affected by the strike.

moving" said General Manager Tucker,
but l cannot tell just when this diff
ficulty will be settled. have not yet
heard when the men propose to call on
me, or even whether they propose to do
so. We propose to fill the places of the
men who went out as rapidly as pos
Sible,"

''most emphatIcally that no such idea
has ever been entertained by this CON-
pany as sending Pinkerton men to any
point on our system. The report to the
contrary is entirely unfounded."

WILL 1T PASS q?

The president is being prodded by a
class of Republican organs to have in
readiness for the free coinage bill, if it
comes to him, a veto that will ring out
over the nation with the deep diapason,
as it were, of ponderous statesman
ship. He is assured that it will be the
opportunity of his life. and entitle him
to a gold medal, at least. He is re-
minded that GRANT. HAYES and
CLEVELAND did not hesitate to veto
measures looking in the direction of the
silver scheme, that were in special ia
vor in the West. But perhaps HARRI-
SON will ask if their yetOes aided in
their reelection Still. the best guess
ers promise veto If the bill is passed
In the house. Whether this take place
depends mainly upon the committee
that has it in charge and Speaker
REED. Its friends figure up majority
for it in case it comes to vote. The
chances would be in its favor. but its
opponents are quite confident that it
will be laid out at the White house if it
gets there

THE CHANGED WINTERS.

The legend noted yesterday morning
in connection with local thermometer
was, 1.-The lowest point last night was
30 deg. above zero" A night in the
latter part of January in Minnesota with
no freezing; yet it is remembered by
some residents who do not belong to the
old settlers society that there were
winters when ice palaces were quite
possible in January, or earlier. After
three mild winters and the discovery
that the old kind of winter has been
freezing out their familiar sort in Europe
and somewhat in other continents. the
question may have place whether there
is to be permanent change in this
climate. Three Of kind Is an indica-

ton that warm winter is not due
merely to slipping of a cog or casual
freak. When the machinery follows
the same groove so continuously, it may
be guessed that it has been adjusted to
that route. If there are three more such
winter seasons it may be accepted as
fact that there has been change, even
if there are no theories.

ARE RETALIATING.

If France is really disposed to modify
or remove its restrictions upon the inn
portation of American meats, it is not
probably concession to opportunities
from this country, but to enable its own
people to obtain cheaper food. The dis
position is rather to add to restrictions.
instead of removing them. One OF
these recently adopted is that of duty
of one and three-eighths cents per
pound on lard. This is not to go into
effect till Feb. 1, 1892, its operation ap-
parently being deferred with an ex-
pectation that the MCKINLEY tariff will
be repealed OF modified. The French
chamber is reported likely to raise the
duties on oils and cheese, with rebates
on raw materials for Oil factories.
These are but hints of the general drift
on the old world side. Retaliatory
measures are likely to extend over most
of the European countries. The ac-
ton of France is clearly retaliatory. and
will be followed by the others. In Can
ada, also, the disposition to return the
reciprocity of McKinleyism is likely to
find further expression at the coming
session of the parliament. The pork
packers are demanding higher duties
on American hog products, involving
very large traffic. They allege, in
fact, that the United States packers
practically control their market. There
will also be demand for further du-
ties on United States mess beef, and no
doubt ether articles that have a consid-
cradle market in Canada. Perhaps the
more palpable the effects of this sort of
reciprocity. the sooner will come the re-
moyal of ali restrictive barriers.
