An indianapolis dispatch says: Eli
Perkins passed through this city last night
en- route to Texas. When asked how the
protective tariff was working in the East he
sa d. "The wicked protectionists are do
ing great damage. Why, they are break
ing up all the manufacturers of Europe
and running our free trade importers in
New York. We used to be able to send
S35 900, 900 year to England for plush and
velvet, but these wicked protectionists put
duty on plush and made Sir Titus Salt
move his million dollar plush plant, with a
thousand employees, to Bridgeport Conn.
Another plush factory has gone up at
Clark's Mills, south Of Utica, another at
Oatasauqua, Pa, until we now have nine
big plush factories in the United States,
and the poor English plush factories are
working on half time,
"The Christian free traders used to send
$40 100000 to Saxony for knit goods, stock
ings, Jerseys, etc., and now the wicked
protectonists are doubling their mills all
over this country. Terrible l should
say so.
why, for the last forty years we have
been sending S4O,OO0OOO annually to Wales
for tin. Wicked Mckinley doubled the
tin tariff and on Saturday fix tons Of
block tin came into New York from Cali
fornia The fact is the wicked protection
lists are selfshly looking after the prosperity
Of America, They are protecting the
farmers sheep and letting South American
sheep farmers starve.
by and by these wicked protectionists
will make this the richest country on
earth, while the Christian New York inn
porters will be starving and half the
factories of Europe will be closed. 1t is

The Williamsport Gazette Bulletin
speaks in the following terms of the latest
mess in which the handful of ragged-edged
Philadelphia Republicans have dabbled {:
"There is nothing new or startling in the
latest onslaught of few scattering Repub-
licans against Quay's leadership in this
state. 1t is well-known that most of the
signers of the so-called address represent a
class ever ready, willing and too anxious

behalf of the opposition will have little in
luence on the rank and file of the party.
1t is even intimated, and there is very
strongsuspicion of correctness Of the ASSERT
ion, that some of the shrewd Democratic
leaders we're not unaware of the move that

to WHY he was in such a hurry to get
the sos, 900 certificate in the bank where
it would draw no interest, when it was
drawing per cent. according to witnesses
own story.
The doctor replied that he did not
know why he did so.
He was closely examined as to what
liquors he allowed the sick man and re-
piled he had about six pint bottles OF
champagne and about the same quantity
of porter. He probably drank bottle
per day. He only had the champagne a
couple of weeks.
Witness was asked if he had not told
number of parties that he was admin
istrator to the estate. He replied that
he had not made such statement. He
said he expected to be administrator.
He was asked if he had not given
Harris's horse away. He replied that
he gave it to man to take care of.
When questioned as to what he did
after Harris died and before the nurse
returned or anyone came into the house,
witness said he took off Harris's ring,
got his watch and $45 from his pockets

WOMAN IN MEDICINE.
An Interesting Meeting of the Friday
Morning Club.

At the Friday Morning club, which
met in their rooms II Potomac block
yesterday morning, Miss pr. Follansbee
read very interesting paper, entitled
Women in Medicine. She referred to
the prejudice which women entering the
profession had to confront few years
ago. That prejudice had not entirely
worn away, but there was much less OF
it discernible now than few years ago.
As women doctors demonstrate their
capacity and fitness to treat patients,
they win the respect first of their sub
iects and next of all who appreciate
ability regardless of sex. The paper was
very we'll received, and Mrs. DR.. Lummis
agreed with Miss DR.. Follansbee, and
said that brains is the thing that will
tell in medicine as in other professions,
and that those who show the largest
capacity, whether they be men or
women, will be the aristocracy OF the
medical art. There was an appropriate
reading by Miss Finney, and then the
regular routine business of the club was
transacted. The initiation fee was
raised to So, and the dues "a year.

He Calls on Friend in San Fran

Mrs. Maskell yesterday morning re-
ceived dispatch from San Francisco,
from Mrs. James McDevitt. 1t read
''Mr. Maskell called this evening at the
house." John Osborne then telegraphed
Mrs. McDevitt for more information in
regard to Maskell, as his wife and
children were frantic with grief.
Strange to say, no reply was received
up till late hour yesterday afternoon.
The friends of Maskell are at loss to
account for his going to San Francisco
without telling any one in this city.
1t is feared that he is wandering
around the country in an aimless man
ner, otherwise he would certainly have
communicated with his family, espe-
cially as all the papers contained ac-
counts of his mysterious disappearance.
Information is expected today which
will have tendency to clear up the
mystery.

SAN DIEGO EDITORS.

The Merry War Taken to the
Courts.
The San Diego newspaper war be-
comes hotter as the days roll by. Yes
terday's HERALD contained an account
OF how General Manager Gardner, of
the Union, thrashed Mr.. Montieth,
who edited weekly paper of unsavory
reputation. The Union, in its editorial
mention OF the matter, printed he
following paragraph:
cit is currently reported, and very
generally believed also, that another
member of the company issuing the
mercenary. venomous, hypocritical,
libelous, blackmailing sheet (Which
decent regard for public propriety for
bids naming), and who is a regular
contributor thereto, is John r. Berry,
collector of customs for the port of San
Diego. If this be true, which it seem
ingly is. and he cannot and does not
exonerate himself from all associations
Herewith and responsibility for the
lbelous, malicious and dastardly utter
ances which have constituted its chief
stock in trade, this community should
include him under the boot-heel OF
contempt and obloquy that ought to be
brought to bear upon the heads Of these
dangerous reptiles that bite from the
BUSH"
Mr.. Berry's reply to this was in the
shape of suit for $685. 900 for damages
for libel.
The Union, right beside Mr.. Berry's
complaint, prints a communication
from Walter G. Smith, editor of the
Sun, referring to Berry. 1t is a scathing
document, and ii the editorial paragraph
above referred to damaged Mr.. Berry to
the extent of $25,000 the effect of Mr..
Smith S must be up in the hundreds of
thousands.
The fight exceeds in bitterness any
thing of the kind ever existing in this
city, and is liable to result in more
sensational events. as all the parties are
belligerent to degree.

JAPANESE XMAS TREE.

The Japanese Christians of this
city had a Christmas tree at the
Lyceum on Saturday evening, the
building being crowded in every
part. The entrance was decorated
with japanese lanterns, the effect
being quite beautiful Across the
interior of the hall hung males and
other vines in artistic disorder. Be
hind the pulpit were the notices
"Glory to God in the Highest" and
GOOD is Love-" The pulpit rail
was thickly covered with ferns
and roses. The pastor, Mr..
Hunenheo, said the prayers.
Mr.. Pamro, an attache of
the japanese Consulate, addressed
those present, and he was followed
by members of the church. The
real exercises of the evening com.
menced with three of Miss Kinney's
Sunday school class reciting verses
in English. The little fellows were
deservedly applauded. The whole
Sunday school sang three Christ
mas hymns under the efficient
leadership of Mrs. G. L. Crabbe.
This part of the programme was
followed by the distribution of
prizes.
The gifts were SO numerous that
all were supplied with them. In
fact, the generous donors had care
fully studied the words of the
Bible, at is more blessed to give
than to receive" Everyone was
contented. A japanese imperson-
ated Santa Claus so admirably that
he literally brought down the
house by storm; he kept the audi
ence in merry humor the rest of
the evening. The finale of the
evening was the serving of refresh
ments-fruits, Ice cream, cakes, etc.
in great abundance. This part of
the programme received It's due
share of praise and thanksgiving
from the audience.

VERY MYSTERIOUS.
A Strange Schooner Seen Off
Waikiki Last Thursday

"A SSA 0CAOOHC1 0CCA OA
Waikiki Last Thursday
Evening.
An eyewitness tells the following
story regarding mysterious
schooner seen last Thursday even
ing at 9 O'Clock about a half-mile off
Waikiki in line right opposite the
property of Henry Poor. Our in
formant stated that be aud friend
were out at Waikiki. and on their
way home their attention was at
tracted by seeing a light out at sea,
that immediately disappeared. After
observing closely, they saw the out
lines of a double topmast schooner
without lights Of any kind, and only
detected her presence by the white
sails. A few moments elapsed, when
the light was hauled to the mast
head, and lowered at once. The
signal was answered from shore by
three flash lights, that appeared to
be given from vacant lot near the
property above mentioned The light
on the vessel was again exhibited and
immediatly after boat put off from
the schooner. but when it reached
the breakers a second signal from
the shore caused the boat to return
to the schooner, and the latter went
to sea at once. Charley, "the look
out" informed the ADVERTISER last
evening chat he had not sighted a
double topmast schooner on Thurs
day night, and has not seen one since
the Beagle left this port"
The question is now, was it the
Beagle or one of the opium-laden
vessels that have been lowering
about Hawaii2 In the meantime the
Custom House authorities ought to
keep sharp watch off the Waikiki
shore, it might repay them.
