NOTED DIVINE DEAD.

Death of DR.. Crosby, the Celebrated Pres
byterian Divine-His Last Words and
Distinguished Career.
NEW YORK, March 8O.-Rev. DR.,
Howard Crosby, the renowned Presby-
terrain divine, died at $3.50 p. m. yester-
day at his residence. His end was
peaceful. As the bells were ringing
for service of the Easter day, he asked
by sign for paper and wrote a few lines
to his loved ones, to his absent son and
daughter in Egypt and the three mem
bers Of his family at home. The first
words of this, his last writing, were: II
know have to co.

advocating temperance as distinguished
from total abstinence In 1877 he took
the principal part in founding the so
ciety Tor the prevention OF crime, whose
chief object is the reduction of the
number OF saloons and the restric-
ton Of the liquor traffic. Through
this society, OF which he was presi-
dent from its foundation and
apart from It he did much in this great

OKLAHOMA LANDS.

The -Four Reservations to BE Opened
simultaneously in the Fail,
WASHINGTON, March Silt is prOba-
bic that the lands recently purcl ased
from the Indians in Oklahoma will not
be thrown open to settlement until next
fall. AIOting agents have been recent
ly appointed and are now at work in
the Sac and Fox reservation The land
in the Iowa reservation VIII require but
little time, having already been prac-
tically taken in severalty.
Under the provisions of the law, how
ever, the Indians are allowed four
months in which to make their final Sc
lectiOns and they will probably not all
avail themselves of their privilege until
the last minute. This would make the
date of opening some time in July, but
the department has practically deter
mined not to open these lands until some
time in the fall. The POttaw atomies and
absentee Shawnee and the Cheyenne,
and ArapahOe reservations will also be
allotted this summer and the agents for
this purpose Will be appointed in a few
days. The last reservation named is
the largest and it is calculated it will
take nearly all spring and summer to
allot the lands in severalty to the three
or four thousand Indians.
1t is the present purpose Of the depart
ment to open the four reservations as
nearly as possible at the same time.
Since the last allotment cannot be con
cluded until about the first of Septem-
Der, the surplus lands are not likely to
be thrown open until early in the fall.
1t is believed that about the middle Of
Septembe viii be the date, and by that
time the lands viii be in readiness and
the settlers who enter them can put in
their fall crops and be ready for early
farming in the spring.

SIGNS or WAR.

A VFGr ClOud Hanging over the German
EmPlFs-Tbs Alliance Between France
and Rusaia-Ths Young Kaiser Not So
Popular as the IRON Chancellor.
LONDON, March 8O.-Advices from
Berlin state that unusual activity has
prevailed for the past few days in the
war Office and that an unusual number
of employees were busy at the Office to-
day. The emperor had a long audience
with Chancellor CaPriyi, and the high
officials generally look as if something
important was on the taPis-
There is no doubt that the movements
OF Russian troops near the German
frontier and the evidence of cordial in
tiInacy between Russia and France have
caused much anxiety in Berlin, and 1T
is possible that the alarm caused by the
apprehension of war may lead to i'm
pOrtant military changes
Besides the thought that Russia and
France may be preparing for war, the
German government is said to be very
much stirred up over startling facts
that have been disclosed in regard to
the sOcialistic propaganda in the army.
The military authorities have come in
possession, through recent arrest, of
evidence going to show that social de-
mOcracy has been spreading its doc
trines through the ranks of both the
army and navy and has made numerous
prOselytes, and that the propagation
of socialism among the troops IS not
confined to Germany, but is systematic
ally carried on throughout Europe with
the exception of Russia The kaiser,
it is stated, has given directions that the
evil should be dealt with most radically
and any officer or soldier detected in
Propagating the prohibited opinions
shall be punished with the utmost Sc
verify. The information ascertained
has also been sent to Austria and Bel
gium for the war offices in that country
to be on their guard.
Prince Bismarck is filing up in an
elaborate manner the two houses he
has purchased in the KOnigratzer
Strasse and thirty of the rooms are be
ing furnished in style betting a
wealthy am bassadOr of some leading
power. The prince, his friends say,
will maintain a sort of personal court
in Berlin to which his followers and
admirers, German and foreign, can re-
sort and from appearances it will be a
center of considerable influence and au-
thOrity.
The war talk which usually makes a
sovereign popular has a contrary effect
in the case of the kaiser and there is
hardly concealed apprehension of his
ability to direct Germany in a crisis,
while there is also a feeling that his
Overtures to France have had something
to do toward bringing a crisis on. Bis
marck grows in popularity, as faith in
the kaiser cOOls, and confidence in the
kaiser now is at a very low ebb.
It is stated that Prince Henry, of
Prussia, visited Bismarck last Thurs
day, an incident which gives currency
again to the rumOrs that the kaiser
shortly proposes to call on the ex-chan-
celIOr.

HUNGRY HUNS.

/ Serious Troubles In she pennsylvania Coke
IRegfons-1Eaddensd Hungarian Strikers
become EltOtOus-
PIrTsBUReH, Pa, March S1.-Yester-
day was by far the most eventfuI day
/ in the coke strike. The labor leaders
| say no precOncerted attack was made,
but in view of the fact that three OF
the principal works IN the region were
raided and IN the morning the operators
had decided to resume all plants the
talk of accidental raids does not go
very far.
At 2 o'clock yesterday morning the
strains of their IavOrIte band woke all
the strikers on the road from ScOttdale
to Bradford, and in a short while 500
men followed their path which was'di-
rected to the JimtOwn plant of the II.
C. Frick company, The place was
reached at 3 o'clock, when the works
were captured without a struggle eX-
cePt the incidental disarming of Super
intendent ROsser whose revolver was
hourished IN vain. A few workers were
struck with stones, but this body of
strikers dispersed without serious dam
age.
Some time later a terrific report in
the direction of the Leisenring works
gave warning of trouble there and thou
sands gathered to witness the work of
the first bomb exploded by the strikers
The shock was felt for several miles
but its only visible effect was the tear
ing of a great hole in front of non
union workers house and throwing
considerable dirt in the vicinity. 1t is
feared that such work is not over with,
however, as the effect upon the unruly
but thoroughly organized Hungarian
strikers was OminOus. After this the
worl1men at Leisenring No and
were chased out of the yards and few
only returned when the excited crowd
had departed.
The few men at the Leith works were
also driven out in a body and several
are reported badly injured.
Trouble is also talked of at the Trot-
ter plant, but this denied by the OPer-
atOrs.
The big Norwood plant of the Friclz
company also contributed more than
its quota to the exciting events of the
day. This plant had been carefully
guarded by deputies. Some 3, 600 stril1-
ers gathered about the place, how
ever, and pushed the armed depu-
ties aside as if they had been chaff. No
blow was struck and not a shot fred as
such move would have been fatal to
both guards and workers in the face of
the 5000 determined strikers.
After the abandonment of the works
by the guard an hour of mad wrecIzing
followed. Tracks, doors and in fact
everything were torn down by the mad
dened crowd who only left after the
plant had been multi ated beyond imme-
date repair.
Probably the ugliest feature in the
several raids were the number of
women participating. The most seri-
ousIy injured man was Pit Boss Cooper,
who was struck again and again by an
iron bar in the hands of an Infatuated
workman

THE TRIAL OF DIR. BAKER.

The trial of DIR. John A. p. Baker,
chaged with the murder of his wife by
poisoning, is drawing to close.
Ten days haye been consumed in
hearing the evidence, and it is probable
that the counsel will consume all the
time allowed by the court, till Wednes-
day noon, in arguing the case before
the jury. If the argument is closed
within this time, verdict may be eX-
pected next Thursday, but not sooner.
What that verdict will be is only a
mutter OF conjecture, but the weight OF
evidence seems to be against DR.. Baker.
The technical question as to whether
the arsenic found in Mrs. Bakers body
was a part Of the fluid used in embalm-
ing is the pivot upon which the result
Of the case will turn.
If the prosecution can convince the
jury that the arsenic which DR.. Taylor
found in Mrs. Bakers liver was not a
part of the embalming fluid, verdict
of guilty seems to be inevitable.
The close Of this trial will end only
one act IN this tragedy. with several
more to follow.
IT the jury find verdict of guilty, a
second trial is practically certain.
Whether he is acquitted or found guilty
DR.. Baker will be tried with Mrs. Gill
mer for conspiracy to murder Wyndham
Gilmer.
TIE public will hear much more of
this already famous case.

DRESS REFORM.

The women Of the Chautauqua circle
have seriously taken up the subject OF
dress reform. 1t is a herculean task.
Women steadfastly remain subjected to
costumes which have minimum Of
ccmfcrt and a maximum of cost and
complication.
The reformers propose to reduce the
number of woman's garments from, it
is said, fourteen to five, all of the sim
plest description. The day would be
gladly hailed by the vast majority Of
men when their wives take so important
a step toward their own freedom. The
two great objects of clothing are protec-
ton and comfort.
The sterner sex have within fifteen
years taken radical departure in the di.
rectlon of the latter by taking up
neglige shirts, outing suits, knickcr.
bockers for bicycling and similar limo.
vations.
There is, of course, no sound reason
why woman should not adapt her cloth
ing to the lines of comfort and sound
sense; but it will be more difficult task
to bring about the change than it is to
establish o new religion.
