How the Southern States Provide For Their
Veterans.
Georgia's confederate pension system,

from So to s2j per month, according TO
the disability, is highly creditable TO
to our state; but il should accept and

ton in other Southern states. Virgin

What the Millionaire Eats.

It is rather an accepted idea with a
great many persons that New York's
wealthy citizens feast daily and per-
ennially on costly viands and rare
delicacies. Such notion is erroneous.
There are a great many talented cooks
employed by the rich residents of the
city and great many choice and ex-
Guisite dinners are served in the course
of the year, but these alternate with
very simple ones. Here is an actual
dinner eaten last week in the house of
a three-times millionaire Of birth rs
well us fortune. There was cream
soup. PURGE to begin with. steak
with two vegetables, salad Of lettuce
with dressing. aud dessert of stewed
rhubarb. with coffee and bit of cheese
and waters to finish. What farmers
wife would not consider beefsteak and
stewed rhubarb a sufficiently homely
repast?
But this meal as it was eaten lacked
nothing Of relish or elegance. 1t was
served by n butler in n beautiful din
ing-room. soft with wax lights and
rich with tapestries and handsome fur
nishings. The diners. consisting
simply of the family. were in conven-
tiOnal dinner dress; every article OF
food was deliciously cooked; the steak
was four inches thick and broiled to II
turn; single wine of choice vintage
gave n zest to the reDast; and if ever
art lurked in stewed rhubarb 1t did in
that particular dish of the compound
clear square pieces of the fruit float
ing in a transparent strip of absinihe
green. 1t is the manner. not the mat
ter, of New York's private dinuers
which gives them their reputation.

BENAREs, April 1S.-The excitement in
this city, originating from the demolition
OF temple in order to provide for a new
water works, increases every hour All
the shops in Benares are closed, and all
the natives in the city and district have
sullenly stopped work and are gathering
N large crowds in and about the princi.
pal thoroughfares of the holy city. The
Jesuit is that serious riots have already
secured between the disturbed natives
and the local authorities of Benares, who
are supported by the British troops quar-
tered in that vicinity.
The British troops are guarding all the
banks, public buildings, and also occupy
IN sorce many points of vantage through
out the district and city. 1t is conse-
quently presumed that the troops will be
able to suppress promptly any serious
outbreak on the part of the natives, but
the eventual effect of the spirit of resent
ment and Indignation among the Hin
docs, already felt far and wide in India,
cannot for the present be correctly esti-
mated.
Benares, the most populous city in the
northwestern provinces of British India,
numbering 1919, 700 souls in 1881, is one of
the most ancient cities on the globe.

GRIP RELEASING ITS HOLD.
1t IL Still as Fatal. But There Are Fewer
CnSeS.

Cases.
New YORK, April 1S.-The fine weather
is at last showing it's influence on the
public health. Only 1873 deaths were re-
ported during the day, decrease of 90
per cent. from the preceding days list.
This is entirely due to the fact that the
majority of diseases, which vary slightly
from day to day, proved less fatal than
usual. Grip has in no way lost it's effect,
except that slight decrease in the num-
Der of new cases is noticeable.
Though only % of those dying yester-
day were afflicted with the epidemic, tw o
less than on Thursday, five of these cases
were uncomplicated with any other dis
decreased in vigor, as the average is con-
siderably lower
AS usual it attacked both young and
old. One of yesterdays victims was less
than months old, but those of extreme
age suffered the more severely. One old
man had reached 90 years, and two
women were aged respectively 20 and Sc
years.
The hospitals are still overcrowded and
must continue so for some time to come,
as recoveries are slow, and the death rate
Is lowering. Other contagious diseases
show no increase. Incoming steamships
have brought in n few more cases of
smallpox, one of the patients dying while
undergoing removal to the pest house.
The typhus patients on North Brother
Island are favorably reported, and no
signs of infection have appeared in either
Bellevue Hospital or the houses in which
the persons sickened.

PARIS, April 1S.-While a number of
workingmen were gathered for the pur-
pose of making arrangements for partici-
pating in the May Day labor demonstra-
ton, the proceedings were interrupted by
an incursion of Anarchists, who, after eff
fecting an entrance, stormed the platform
and otherwise made things unpleasant
for the audience. The orators of the oc-

which they declared would inevitably end
in disaster to the cause of the wage earn
ers at large.

THE FUNERAL STOPPED,

Murder Suspected and an Autopsy Reveals
Bruises Which Probably Caused Death.
New YORK, April 1S.-The funeral pro-
cession of Mrs. Catherine c. Deringer, %
years old, was stopped while en- route to
Calvary Cemetery by q deputy coroner.
The remains were taken to the morgue,
where an autopsy revealed bruises about
the woman's head which probably caused
death.
The woman died suddenly, but the first
examination of the coroner did not reveal
what was brought out at the second au-
topsy.
The woman's relatives suspected there
was something wrong about the death
and questioned the 5-year old daughter
of the deceased, who told them that her
father had struck her mother and thrown
her to the floor. These facts were re-
ported to the coroner, and he had the
funeral stopped with the above result.
The husband will be arrested.

CHICAGo'S CONTEST.

Plurality.
CHICAGO, April 1S.--The official canvass
of the city election has been completed,
and Hampstead Washburne, Republican,
for mayor has a plurality of 800 over Gre
ger.
The canvassing board adjourned until
Monday for the purpose of taking up the
large number of precinct returns which
have been held over for revision, and at
that time Judge Prendergast will present
proof of alleged Republican frauds If
these proofs are of such a nature as to
iuvalidate the election of mayor, then
the board may act, otherwise the certifi-
cate of election will go to Hampstead
Washbnrne. If the certificate of election
is issued, the only redress Mayor Cregier
has is to go into the courts, but it is not
likely that he will go into protracted and
expensive litigation.
The vote for mayor is as follows:
Hampstead Wasburne, Republican, 46, 9o7;
De Witt c. Cregier, Democrat, 46,5SS;
G. H. Harrison. Ind. Democrat, 1881;
E. Washburn, Ind. Republican, 24O47;

ST. PAUL, Mimi, April 1S.-Frederick
Schwatka, the writer and explorer, left
here during the night for the Pacific
coast on his way to Alaska, where he ex-
poets to explore large section of the
country from the Yukon River west. In
speaking of his trip he said:
eve will begin our explorations at the
Yukon River and go as far west as posi-
BILE. 1t may be to the Behring Sea, if we
are not stopped by the Indians-and do
not anticipate any such trouble. The
distance to be covered in a straight line
would be some 400 miles, but our mileage
will be governed by the distance we devi-
ate from this course We expect to cover
1000 miles. No white man, SO far as is
known, has ever entered this country,
SO no one can make any predictions as to
what it will be like. This is my third
exploring trip to Alaska, and can truth
fully say it is a wonderful country"

the prospects of going to the Reichstag.
Hamburg Socialists are disappointed be-
cause they did not elect their candidate
as they had expected and as Bismarck's
friends apprehended, for the latter were
already preparing another seat for him.

PARNELL'S APPEAL,


tiOnal League.
LONDON, April 1S.-Parnell has isued a
manifesto to the members of the English
National League. He says that his policy
has been to make English parties sub
serve Irish interests. This was success
in the Land Arrears and Home Rule bills.
when we had the support of both the
English parties We are now weak be-
cause of the desertion of raw recruits and
terrified captains. 1t is sought to make
our organization subserve English inter-
ests. This would be ruinous.
MIR. Parnell dwells briefly upon the plan
of the seceders, under the spell of Eng
lish dictation, to drive him from public
life, and he turns from the Anglo-Irish,
and appeals to the national instincts of
the Irish race to show that Irishmen
alone shall regulate Irish affairs, from Sc
Letting leader in the English Parlia-
ment to the fullest control of national af-
fairs In an Irish Parliament.
