A Great Year for Little Immigrants.

A medical man who knows what he is
talking about said recently:
"Thisis a baby year. lido not know how
to account for it, but the statistics will
bear out my assertion that some years
are noted for the great number of births
that C This year of our Lord 1891
is one of these seasons. If you will take
pains to look the matter up you will find
that 1884 was a very prolific year, and SO
was 1886 and 1888. Now we have 1891
with more than the usual number of
births. There will be a great number Of
happy families before 1899 comes to
greet us. 1t is fortunate, too, that there
has been comparatively little sickness
among the children so far, which was
not true of either 1886 or 1888. "-Chicago

Col. HINTON. the long haired fraud at
the head Of the government irrigation
bureau, has just returned to Washington
with a claim that he has Just completed a
1900 mile our investigating the arid
land subject. Col. Hinton has two glar,
ing recommendations to public attention.
One is his ~afiuent hair and the other Is
his ~pertlnacity as an Office holder. The
colonel likes his job, and the suggestion
that the government donate the arid lands
to the state is enough to u~nsettlc his men

A very unnecessary question to ask a
man whose skin and eye-balls are saffron
tinted. OF cOurse his tongue, too, is
iurred, bowels constipated, head bothered
with aches, right RIB region plagued with
constant uneasy sensations. These you
may take for granted, although he may
not particularize them, because they are
among the invariable accomplishments OF
liver troubles. Are they chronic2 Ii so,
you may be sure he does not, as he ought
to do, take Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
the leading regulator Of livers that are
out of order. Commend it to him as
highly as you please, you CAN'T say a
word too much IN its favor. Sick head

The bulletin gives a brief history of the
church compiled BY Henry X. Carroll, l..
L. ID. He says:
THE Roman Catholic was the frat Chris
tian worship established in the territory
now constituting the United States. As
early as 1912, only twenty years after the
discovery of America by Columbus, Span
ish priests began a mission tour in Flor
ida and the Mississippi valley. In the
same century the native tribes of the Rio
Grande, 10 the territory now known as
New Mexico. were converted by Spanish
priests from Mexico. The Catholic mop
ulation in the archdiocese of Santa Fe is,
therefore, said to be the oldest body OF
Catholics in the United States. French
priests established a mission on Mount
Desert island. off the coast Of Maine, in
1912, and there were other beginnings in
different parts ofthe country.
The first Catholic see erected was that
of Baltimore, which dates from 1889. In
1908 it was constituted 40 archdiocese.
There are now thirteen provinces, the
METROPOLITAN sees beng those OF Balti-
more. Oregon, st. Louis, Cincinnati, New
York, San Francisco, Santa Fe, Philadel-
phis, Milwaukee, Boston, Chicago and
st. Paul, which were created in the order
named. Connected with these provinces
are &c dioeeses, 5 vicariates apostolic and

storks That Ely Long Distances.

For a number of years a pair of storks
built their nest annually in the park of
the Castle Ruheleben, in Berlin. A few
years ago n of the servants placed a
ring with the name of the place and date
on the leg of the male bird, in order to
be certain that the same bird returned
each year. Last spring the stork came
back to its customary place, the bearer
of two rings. The second one bore the

1t was just at the beginning of the
busy hour in the evening and the car
was crowded. People were packed like
behring's inside and on the platform there
was the usual crush and struggle for
four square inches of space. It was just
at the beginning Of a rain and the grip
man had no waterproof along. 1t
seemed that at every second door some
M had to get on The car was con-
stantly stopping. 1t was filed to the
last limit long ago, but still people were
waving their arms from the pavement
and clambering up and in some way.
Nobody knows how many persons can
get into a Chicago street car. At one
corner three women with babies in their
arms stopped the car and got in.
The gripman swore a little at them.
At the next a man looked at the
clouds, signaled the gripman and got in
out of the wet. The rain began to come
down a little more decisiyely. The grip
man started up and threw the lever far
forward. he wanted to shoot straight
to the stables without stopping. There
was another man. The car had not run
forty feet.
The gripman swore very roundly rs
he loosed the lever and pulled back on
the brake.
Then he started, bent the talons of the
grip about the cable and plunged ahead
again. There was another woman. The
car had run just half a block. The pas
sengers looked up as they saw the way
ing arms of the waiter. They expected
TO hear a very volley of oaths at this
second stop. The gripman's face was a
study. First it was black as night. Then
he looked closely at the woman. He
hated her and wanted to blast her with
a frown. Then his brow softened. A
twinkle came into his eyes. His lips
parted and his great wooden face broke
into a kindly laugh.
What had she done? Who was she2
Did he know her? Nothing-nothing at
all. He knew nothing about her. She
was only a handsome girl, and she
laughed a caress right into his lips as
he frowned at her. Smiles are better
than scepters any day.-Chicago Herald.

There Will Bs Nine of Them-Admiral
 Gherardi Will Command.

A Concentration That Will Amount to Q
 Naval mOnstration-The Selection oi
 Gherardi Regarded as signihcant-H He
 is the Principal Diplomat Among
 Officers of the Navy.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 13-It is quite evident that the President and Secretary Blaine do not propose to let Chilli long remain in ignorance of the fact that the United States has made subs tantial pro gress in the building of a navy. The news leaked out yesterday that there is to be a change in the assignments of a number of vessels, which will result in the concentration of such a fleet of war ships in the harbor of Valparaiso as to amount to a naval demonstration.
 Orders have been sent to Rear Admiral Gherardi, now on board his flagship, the Philadelphia, at St. Thomas, to pro- ceed at once to Valparaiso and assume command of the South Pacific station. Rear-Admiral Brown, now in command of that station, will be detached and placed on waiting orders. Acting Rear Admiral John G. Walker will retain his flagship, the Chicago, and relieve Admiral Gherardi in command of the North At lantic station.
 This fleet, however, will be cut down from the imposing proportions of the White Squadron to the Chicago and the old Kearsarge. Rear-Admiral A. E. K Benham will be sent on board the New ark to take command of the South Att lantic station, with headquarters at Rio de Janeiro. The Atlanta, Concord and Bennington are all to sail on Sunday or Monday for Chilian waters. The Charleston has already been ordered tc return from the Asiatic station to the South Pacific.
 The order will result in placing under the command of Admiral Gherardi al Valparaiso 8 feet composed of the Phila. delphia (1agship), San Francisco, Char. les1on, Boston, Baltimore (now already at Nalparaiso), Atlanta, Yorktown Concord and Bennington, while the Newark will be within comparatively easy call at R&o. This concentration ot warships will bring together a formid- able array of men.
 The Philadelphia carries twelve gun. in her main battery, the Baltimore ten, the San Francisco twelve, the Charleston eight, the Boston eight, the Atlant' eight, the Y Yorktown six, the Concord six the Bennington six These guns are al new six and eight inch rified steel breecl loaders, and each ship carries a power full second battery of rapid firing ant machine guns. Each ships compan, will average 300 or more men.
 Officials of both State and Navy de | partments deprecate placing any war | like meaning upon this demonstration and insist that there is no special sig | nificance in the concentration of a pow erful fleet in South American waters The selection of Admiral Gherardi t, command the South Pacific squadron is sure to be regarded as significant l Gherardi isa known as the principa diplomat among the officers of the navy and it will be remembered that he, in
 sense, superseded Minister Douglass il the futile negotiations with Hayti fol the possession of Mole St. Nicholas as
 coaling station.

ILLeGITIMATE THOMAS WINS.
A Decision Rendered in the Famous
 Monaghan Will Case.

NEW YORK, Nov. 13. - The contest over the estate of old Thos. Monaghan, was settled yesterday afternoon by Sur rogate Ranso m, who decided in favor of the illegitimate son. The Surrogate said it was evident to him that the name of William was the one intended for the legitimate son.
 Thomas Monaghan. the testator, left quite considerable property. In the will which was recently offered for pro bate almost the entire amount was left to 'his beloved son Thomas"
 Monaghan had a son by his first wife, who was generally known as William, and who went West a great many years ago, where he settled in business. Mo h. aghan, after the death of his first wife, lived with a woman of the n anne of Ann Murphy, by whom he had a son who was christened Thomas.
 When the will was submitted for pro- bate the Western son came East and en- tered claim, alleging that he had bee n christened Thomas, but had su bsequent- ly changed his name to William. He declared that it was the testater's ob. ject to make him his heir. Suit was accordingly brought before Surrogate Ransom.

SOUGHT DEATH FOUR TIMES.
Viola Grey1Ock's Identity Revealed
 Mania for Suicide.

Viola Grey1Ock's Identity Revealed-A
 Mania for Suicide.
 PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 13.-Miss Viola Gre ylock, who attempted suicide by taking a dose of laudanum in New York on Monday, and was kept on tramp for forty eight hours to ward off death at Bellevue Hospital, is none other than Miss Annie Miller, alias Clara Greylock, who was taken to the German Hospital on Sept. IT, suffering from like cause On that occasion she gave the name of Greylock, although subsequently ad- hitting that the Dame was assumed. She maintained rigid silence when questioned as to her antecedents, just as she has done in New York, and it was only by the most searching inquiry that her true identity came to light. Her mind is undoubtedly unbalanced.
 Beyond a doubt Viola Greylock is really Miss Anna Miller of Hobart, Orange County, N. Y. If she is Miss Miller, as her friends in Philadelphia have every reason to believe, this makes her fourth attempt at suicide. Twice has she attempted to take her life in Philadelphia and in each case laudunum has been her choice Her last attempt was in the early part of September, when she was taken to the German Hos pital, and there gave the name of Grey lock.
 She was born in New York. Her father died when quite young, and her mother, being in reduced circumstances, placed her in an asylum at Cooperstown, N. Y., and nothing has ever been heard of her since. It is not known whether she is living or dead.
 When about 10 years old Anna was adopted by farmer named Taylor, liv' ing at Hobart, N. Y. It was while liv. ing with the Taylors that she first at tempted to take her life. She was then confined in an asylum for time, but appearing to be perfectly rational she was discharged.
 She has always been an exceedingly 1 sensitive girl, and, not liking the idea of being dependent on others, she de- l termined to earn her own living. Con ! sequently she came to Philadelphia, at tempted suicide again, and was sent back to her home at Hobart. Here she l remained for some time, but returned I to Philadelphia, and sewed for Miss l Ross, a dressmaker at No. 720 North l Twentieth street.
 She made her third attempt at suicide on the 17th of September last, and il | was then that she gave the name o | Greylock. Dr. Andrews examined hel at the German Hospital, and pronounced her insane. While negotiations were being made to have her placed in Kirk brides Asylum Miss Ross visited the Hospital and took her away. She was afterward placed in the Presbyterian Hospital, where, being 8 young lady o refinement, she became quite popular with the young doctors. She made hel escape from there about 6 month ago and disappeared entirely.

WERE THE TICKETS LEGAL?
Judge Fenn Dit Not Say So in Hi
 Finding in the Quo Warranto Case.

Judge Fenn Dit Not Say So in His
 Finding in the Quo Warranto Case.
 The-tfeasons" for Judge Fenn's decls- ion in the quo warranto case are locked up in Attorney Coles safe and no one seems to be quite sure that the judge considered the citizens ticket legal. The following paragraph from his decision is interesting. and on the strength of it another quo warranto case, democrat against republican, would seem to be in order:
 Assuming it to be true, that which the | respondent in pleading and argument | urgently denies, that the citizens and | taxpayers constitute party in such a sense as to render the ballots bearing the name legal, it is nevertheless also true that it differs from the great recognized | pectlvely as republican and democratic in many particulars bearing upon the present cons;d aration. Presumptively the candidates of either of these parties or its known constituents profess its principles and they are accepted as such by its members generally whether pres ent or not at it's caucuses or nominating convention. Here was a party, if in fact such, having no history, no princi- pie except to defeat a prospective candidate of the party of which they were working members. Nomi- hating none of themselves but adopting certain candidates of each of the other parties in order, not to win themselves, but to cause those to whom they were opposed to lose. It was stated by one of the witnesses for the petitioner that the reason a motion to make Henry I. Boughton the nominee instead of Daniel F. Webster was defeated was in order that each vote against c. R. Baldwin, the demo- cratic nominee for mayor, should count two instead of one. It was not specially stated that this was the case as to the nominee for city clerk, but assuming such to be the case how can 1 assume that this motive was communicated to, or if communicated, adopted by the voters not present at said meeting by whom the ballots bearing the name of Edwin F. Platt were cast. So far as ap- pears Edwin F. Platt was at least as eligible, as we'll known, as competent, ,as likely to be in fact the candidate either of the republican or citizens and tax. payers caucuses as Edward B. PIatt
