Secretary Walker, of the Board of Trade,
has a unique method of determining how
late a man stays out at night and whether
he has attended a banquet or been out with
the boys. He calls it Walkers Moral Thor
mometer. 1t is a very simple arrangement,
but two and n half feet high, circular in
form, with a conical top. 1t is the only
instrument of its kind in the Power block.
When a man comes in about 10 O'Clock in
the morning, tests il twice without a wink,
goes out and does not return, the major
concludes he went home about one a. IN.
but could find the keyhole. When another
comes III an hour later, tests il thrice and
returns a number of times before noon
the record is that he WAS out till four n. m.
and went home in a hack. Secretary Wal
ker has not yet perfected his prognostica-
ton, but anyone who desires the benefit oil
his observations are requested to call.

There is a new bug in town. 1t is black
in color, about half an inch long, and built
in proportion. Numbers may be seen day
and night crawling on the sidewalks. But
they do not confne themselves to crawling.
They fly, and that is what makes them SO
disagreeable. A nan walking along the

Continued at st. Louis-school Children's
Concert-An the Choirs ofst. Louis Sing
Together.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, December 1.-The
Jubilee Celebration of Archbishop Ken
rick was continued this morning by q
'Children's Concert at Music Hall,
Exposition Building, in which the chill
dren of the parochlal schools of the city
to..the number OF 1000 participated.
At Q o'clock Populations of the chill
dren could be seen marching along the
streets from the different parishes on
their way to the hail.
At the conclusion of the programme
arranged at the hall, Most Reverand
Archbishop Ryan, of Philadelphia, adj
dressed the children, and he was fol-
lowed by Archbishop Kenrick, who also
addressed and blessed them.
The closing ceremonies OF the third
days celebration was a grand sacred
concert in Music Hall, exposition build
ing. The concert was rendered by the
choirs of all the Catholic Churches OF
the city, 500 voices constituting the
chorus.
At $50 p. m. Most Rev. Archbishop
Kenrick, Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop
Ryan and other visiting prelates and
clergymen entered the hall and were re-
ceived with tumultuous applause by the
thousands present. immediately after
the Archbishop and party were seated,
Gov. d. Z. Francis, OF Missouri, was
led to the stage by R. c. Kerins and in
PRODUCED. He then delivered an ad-
dress of congratulation.
The Governor eulogized the Arch
bishop, pointing out the noble work he
had done during his fifty years epfsco-
pate both for the church and humanity,
and concluded as follows:
''That you may be long spared to wit
ness the beneficial results OF your labor
and to enjoy the grateful mpanionship
of those who delight to do you honor is
the earnest wish of all who appreciate
nobility of character and love their fell
bowman"
The Governors address was frequent
ly punctuated with applause. Hon. K.
A. Noonan, Mayor of st. Louis, then
made an address Of congratulations, and
this was followed by Mozart's "Gloria,"
from Twelfth Mass, by the chorus and
orchestra.
A number of congratulatory and enlo-
CYSTIC addresses were then made. Car
dinal Gibbons then arose In one OF the
proscenium boxes, where he and Arch
bishop Kenrick had been listened to,
music and eulogistic addresses, and on
behalf of the Archbishop, who was not
equal to the occasion, thanked the
Governor, Mayor and citizens generally,
without regard to religion or race, for
the well-merited honor that had been
shown the Archbishop.
He concluded by saying: "Let us all
pray tonight that when his labors are
completed he may receive the crown OF
everlasting life." The audience then
dispersed. This virtually closes the
Jubilee ceremonies, the remainder of
the programme being taken up by re-
ceptions to visiting prelates.

from a distance he could not tell wen
how the land lay. Judging from suCn

the speakership contest so far as the
newspapers have reported, and would
make a good compromise candidate:
The West Virginia delegation will all, l
think, do whatever they can to secure
the place for him if they see that 1t IS
practicable"
As TO his preference next to Mr.. VIII
son, Mr.. Anderson cared not to talk.
He was not committed to anyone and
could not tell how he would vote till he
got on the ground and saw the lay of the
land. This much you may depend
upon, though" he said, 81 am going to
vote for what I think will be the best
interests OF the Democratic party.
This is a most important contest, and
Democrats must act wisely. Upon their
action in the present Congress may de-
pend the election of a President next
year, and great caution must be used
not to make any blunders."

FIGHTING FOR 1T.
All the Speakership Candidates Actively
Engaged-AIl Feel secure

Engaged-AiI Feet secure.
WASHINGTON, d. c., December L.
The Speakership contest is increasing
in WITNESS and in interest each day, and
this morning there was fair accession
made to the list of members in town.
All five Of them expressed themselves
as hopeful.
One important statement to-day is a
claim made by Gen. Catchings, OF
Mississippi, one of Mr.. Crisp's chief
lieutenantS, that the Georgia candidate
has captured the entire Democratic DEL
egation from New Jersey. Mr.. Crisp's
friends also said they had assurances OF
four votes from New England.
Mr.. Mills was sanguine that forces
were working favorably to his interests
and expressed himself as entirely con-
fdent of the result. The aim OF the
two candidates who are generally con-
ceded to occupy the foremost position
in the race is to concentrate their votes
in sections where they have clear ma
iority and to induce members who are
inclined TO vote for some one else to re-
consider their inclinationS and go with
the majority in their respective State
delegations.
Thus the Mills men are endeavoring
to make New England unit, and they
say they expect all the votes from that
section except two. Mr. Mcmillan said
to-day that he saw no reason to change
his opinion that the fight would be a
long one, in which case his strength
would increase, and that he felt that
matte were going along satisfactorily.
Mr.. Springer was also in cheerful
mood, and said he was more than hold
ing his own as respects first choice"
votes, and to-day made material pro-
gress in providing for the event of a
break among the other candidates.
At Mr.. Hatch's headquarters it was
said that things" were "Quiet." A
good many persons had called to pay
their respects. Mr.. Maish. Of Pennsyl-
vania, has practically withdrawn from
the clerkship contest in the House, and
is advocating the claims of Mr.. Kerr,
while Indiana is urging Mr.. Dalton
selection, For postmaster another ex-
Congressman, Mr.. McClamick, of North
| Carolina, has become a candidate. Mr..
Jas. r. Fisher, former assistant post.
master, and chairman of the Virginia
Democratic State Central Committee, is
regarded with favor by many member:
for the position.

NOVEMBER CORN soUEEZERs.
A POssibih y That the Push May Extend
to December.

CHICAGO, December 1.-The EUening
Journal says: The closing up OF the
November corn deals has given rise to
complications which will have to be
Strengthened out in the Courts. The
clique houses assert that 100, 900 bushels
covers about all that was defaulted on
final settlement.
Many believe the squeeze will be fol-
lowed up in December. 1t can easily be
done if advertising the fact does not
prevent short interest. The new corn
receipts will furnish very little contract
stuff, unless shippers or receivers resort
to kiln drying.
The extremely new stock here and at
New York make manipulation probable
if there is half chance. 1t is thought
that the clique in the November deal
made little money because of the cash
stuff they had to care for at fancy
prices, and the question about collect
ing the manipulated prices from default
ers.

AFTER MANY YEARS
A Defaulter Is Discovered-The Amount
Made Good.


Made Good.
ST. LOUIS, December lit has Just
been discovered by the Concordia Pub
fishing Company, printers of religious
books, that Martin G. Barthel and Mar
tin Ii. r. Barthel, father and son, two
OF its most trusted employees, are short
in their accounts. Martin H. R. had
received an order for certain publica-
tions, which he filled, but neglected to
turn over the cash, which brought about
an investigation, revealing the fact that
the populations OF both were very large.
The Justification of the books has
been going on for number of years.
Martin c has been manager for twenty
five years, and while the investigation
has been progressing has been absent.
On his return he at first denied the
charges, but afterwards broke down and
admitted his guilt, turning over $4,000
in real estate to cover the shortage.
The son has disappeared, and no trace
of him can be found. The officers Of
the company say that the property
turned over more than secures the pres
ent defalcation.

PROCEEDINGS BEGUN.
BY the Minority Party of the Evangel-
icaI Association to Gust the Majority.

CLEVELAND. December 1.-The mi
nority party in the Evangelical
Association began to-day quo
warranto proceedings, which will
have the effect OF bringing
the controversy that has ragged long and
bitterly in this religious denomination
to a speedy issue.
The minority faction held their Gen.
eral Conference short time age
in Philadelphia and elected Bish.
ops and officers for the church and
the Board in charge of the great pub
fishing house this city.
The majority faction did likewise at
Indianapolis, aud as they were already
in possession of the offices, their DEGREES
have gone into effect. The rela-
tors in the case are the
new officers OF the minority
party, and the defendants are the Off
GERS of majority,
The claim made is that the Indian
apolis conference was illegal, and its
DEGREES, therefore, of no effect. The
Circuit Court is asked to GUST the ma
jority from the church offices, and in
stall the Bishops and officials elected il
Philadelphia.

lation Result in Disaster.
SAN Francisco, December 1.-The trial
of John White, late business manager OF
the San Francisco Cal, for embezzlement,
has brought out some astonishing dlsclos'
ures.
White confessed that he had stolen
$4,000, most of which was sunk IN horse
racing and speculation. He had an ar
rangement with the cashier by which both
took from the money drawer what they
wanted and then arranged the cash TO fl
the deficit. White was high roller, and
souaadered $40, 600 in few weeks on the
races. He sunk s, e00 trying to float pat,
ent machine, and lost $4,000 in a land deal
near Deaf Valley. The cash was not bal
anced in the Office for six years, and the
proprietor knew nothing Of what was going
on. IL was only through an employe that
he learned Of the wholesale robbery.

Tbs DUTY OF THE STATE ENECUTIVE
COMMITTEES.

The REGISTER would respectfully
suggest to the State Democratic Execu-
tive Committee that an early meeting
for the consideration OF plans and speci-
locations TO- che promotion of party
success az the coming election would be
IN harmony with the views Of the rank
and file Of the Democracy all over the
State. They realize that their willy
enemy is already at work m subtle
way, trying torepair the damage caused
by the great tariff reform movement,
and that further delay is dangerous.
The REGISTER has pointed out hereto
fore how valuable it is to begin system
atlc work early. A months judiciOuS
work eighteen months before the cleo
tion does treble the good that it does
three months before voting day. There
are thousands in the State at this
iine who have heretofore voted
with the Republican party, who are now
on the fence, and want light. They are
willing TO read and TO listen. This is par
rc0larly true Of the great agricul-
,ural, mining and mechanical pOpulG-
ton Of our State. The nights are long,

ment than at other seasons Of the year,
