AS everybody knows, when a visitor
applies for admission to Girard College
in Philadelphia the guard in attendance
asks him if he is clergy man, and if SO
he is turned away; for. by the will OF
Stephen Girard, no clergyman shall
enter the place.
A naval officer, who visited the city
recently, went to the college, and asked
TO be admitted. He was dressed in
black clothes, wore q white tie, AMI had
his face smoothly shaven, which, alto
gether, gave him the appearance Of be-
ing a parson, and the guard politely
informed him that he could not enter.
why not?s he asked Indignantly.
because you're clergyman.
-The - am, was the sharp reply,
and without further exchange Of words
the gates were thrown open and one of
the best fellows In the navy passed in.

MORE RECIPROCITY.
Germany's Beet Sugar Export
Brings Her Into Line.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-The nogo-
tiations have been completed in regard
to the proposed commercial treaty be-
tween the United States and Germany,
but under the law they cannot go into
effect until Jan. /, 1892. The pro-
viso under which President Harrison
has been acting is contained in the tariff
of 1890, section B, schedule n. Under
this section the president, about
Jan. l, can impose the duty
On German beet sugar, which
finds an extensive market here. Ger
many has been especially anxious to
take treaty since one has been made
with Spain to allow Cuban sugars and
other products to come in.
Up to Jan. l, the United States can
do nothing in the matter, but Germany
at once saw its advantage in making
treaty now, so that it can go into effect
the first of the year. Count Won Mumm
began negotiations with the state de-
partment, and, through Secretary Rusk
and Gen. j. w. Foster, acting for the
state department, the treaty has been
brought to a successful completion. 1t
was signed last month at Saratoga, when
Gen. Foster and Count Won Mumm paid
an unexpected and hurried visit to that
place, while President Harrison was
there as the guest of Mr.. Arkeli. The
papers at that time mixed Gen. Foster
up with Secretary Foster and made the
visit appear as one to consult OIL bonds.
One proviso in the treaty, which has
prevented the publication of the treaty,
and which win perhaps delay the pro-
mul cation of the full contents is, that
Germany claims the right to first an
nounce the signing and PRONUNCIATION of
the treaty. At present German beet
sugar comes into the country free under
the new tariff law, and nothing can pre-
vent it until Jan. when the president Is
given power to shut it off.on the ground
that the German empire imposes duties
OH agricultural and other products of
the United States, which in view of the
free introduction of such sugar, etc.,
into the United States, he deems to be
reclprocally unequal and unreasonable,
and therefore he suspends by proclama-
ton the provision granting free entry
of German sugar.
Just at this time, Germany, with its
short wheat crop, finds that free entry
of cereals from the United States will
be- beneficial, and besides she must
have market for her beet sugar out
put. The majority of her exports are
to the United States and Cuba. The
new treaty prohibiting these from COM
ing into America free will lose Ger
many her best market, and so she is
obliged, in order to save herself. to
make the present agreement with the
United States,
Assistant Secretary of State Whar-
ton said, late this afternoon. that
the negotiations between the United
States and Germany to secure the free
entry of cereal products of this country
into the German empire, and the re-
ciprocal admission here OF beet sugar
from Germany free of duty. were still
pending. He declined. however, to
intimate what reduction would likely
be made III the German tariff ON
United States grain products or what
particular cereals would likely be af-
fected when an agreement is reached
by the two governments.

AN ACTIVE PRESS.
Irish Newspapers Will Keep Par
nell's Memory Green.

DUBLIN. Oct. 12.-The Parnellite press
this morning continues to eulogiZe
the personality and public services of
the dead statesman. The articles are
generally extremely fervid in their
expressions of admiration of the man,
considered as such, while adiectiveS are
exhausted in the attempt to convey an
understanding of the gratitude of his
followers for his inestimable services to
his country. In some instances, bitter
references are made to the men who
''droye beneath the soil of Ireland the
man who alone could make that soil
free"
The feeling In Ireland over yester-
days demonstration Is intense, and Par
nell was never SO popular in his life
time as he appears to be when dead.
ParnelPS friends are indignant at the
statements made by John Dillon and
others that Parnell refused to release
the Paris fund. ParnelPs friends claim
that he was perfectly willing to re-
lease the fund, provided that
his claims for money advanced
to eVicted tenants should be allowed on
the same basis as money advanced by
Dillon and others. Mr.. Dillon. ii is as
serted, is perfectly willing to have his
own claims allowed out of the fund, but
not willing that Mr.. ParnelPs claim
should be recognized.
The fund, according to MIR. Parnell's
latest statement, amounted to about
935,000. Against this there a number
of claims, bringing the total available
amount down to about 100000. The
Parnellites among the members
of parliament, it is understood
have received very encouraging
information from various parts of Ire
land, and the determination of the peo-
pie is overwhelmingly in favor of main
tanning the Parnellites party, and it is
reported that delegation will soon
visit America and Australia to solicit
funds for the Irish cause i'll memory of
the dead Parnell.

MAYNARD HELEN,
A Merry, Beautiful and Lying
FOotpad Is Miss Forstund.

HELENA, Mont, Oct. 12.-The high
way lady arrested here Friday, while
attempting to leave town in mans at
tire, proves to he neryy young woman.
She is also versatile prevaricator. Her
name has been discovered from letters
in her possession. Instead of being
BERTHE Miller she is Helen Forstund,
and her parents live not far from
Spokane Falls, Wash. Helen was the
baby and beauty of the family, but her
waywardness has been source of deep
grief to her relatives. Saturday the
city marshal secured complete outfit
OF woman's, wear and the female bandit
donned the attire of her sex, in which
she presented quite a striking appear
ance.. She soon tired of the limitations
of corset and skirt, however, and again
appeared at the cell door in cutaway
and trousers.
The fact that a trail of blood was
found along the route of the retreating
thug who shot Policeman Grogan, and
that the man Clark denied that he knew
she was woman, has given rise to
suspicion that she trapped Clark to
cover the retreat of third person, WHO
was probably her sweetheart. Grogan
was confident he had winged the fleeing
footpad who shot him, but neither the
man Clark nor the woman FOrStund
bears scratch. Some of the exploits
Helen claims credit for are already dis

MEXICAN METHODS.
A Sham Escape the Signal for Ex-
ecutiOn.

ccuClOn.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Oct. 12.-Seven
miles below Rio Grande City, Tex. and
on the opposite side of the river, hangs
the body of a nephew of Julien Flores,
a suspected revolutionist. swings to a
tree with eighteen bullet holes in it.
He was arrested some days ago, aud
left for Victoria under guard
of soldiers. The corpse is decomposing,
but no one is bold enough to cut It
down. Felipe SInas, another member
of Garcia's band, was caught on the Sth
inst, and has been removed in the
same way. The soldiers excuse the
deaths OF these men by stating they
were killed under warrant OF the state
which is called la ly fulge. 1t is a law
permitting the shooting of prisoner
who attempts to escape. By its war
rant hundreds of men have been exc
cuted in Mexico within the past few
years.
"A political prisoner is given to under
stand that he must make a break for
liberty, and that if he does not he will
be shot anyhow. The victim is allowed
to put some ten yards of space between
himself and his captorS and is then
tumbled on his face with bullets through
the back. 1t is noticeable that these
escapes" never occur in a thickly
wooded or bushy country, where the
prisoner would have some chance to
dodge. The military rule instituted by
the Mexican general along the Rio
Grande since the Garcia outbreak is an
exceedingly strict one and the people
are afraid to be seen i'll groops of two
and three.
