might haye taken that as an excuse for his
action. 1t will not be fully decided until
the president returns what action the gov
ernmen, will take, but it is said that two
members of the cabinet now In the city
are in favor of Withdrawing our minister
and closing the American legation in
Rome until such time as the Italian gov
ernment shall recover its senses, and 1
think it probable that that is just about
what will be done.
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Net
tleton went 10 New York yesterday, and
he will remain several days, paying spec
ial attention to the workings Of the new
immigration law, in which he is greatly
interested The administration Of this
law is a part of Gen. Nettleton's duties,
and he is confident that under its provis-
ions he will be able to greatly improve the
character of the immigrants landed at our
ports. 1t is generally admitted that there
is ample room for improvement of that
sort.
Secretary Noble has informed delega-
tion OF Choctaw Indians that called on
him with reference to obtaining the
money that congress appropriated 10 pay
for certain lands belongingto the Choctaw
nation that nothing could be done until
the president returned. This is the ap-
that Secretary Noble has been
said to be opposed TO paying, because of
his belief that too great a portion OF IL
was going into the pockets OF Washing
ION attorney,
II seems now TO be generally ac-
,eptcd by Democrats that the south will
get the speakership, because 1t cannot
lope TO be represented upon the national
ticket next year, and the fight seems to be |
between Mills, of Texas, Crisp, of Geor-
,ia, and McMillin, of Tennessee, with the |
hances of election at present about in the
rider named; but il Crisp continues 10
,ain as he has done lately he will go into
he caucus in the lead. He has, however
newly developed and powerful opposi'
ion In the liquor interests 10 overcome,
md 1t is very doubtful whether he can
ucceed in doing 1t.

The Great Petition.

John Milton once said, "Reformer
look very small In the eye of the world
but very large in the eye of God, they ar
are 60 much nearer him." So we be
lieve every effort OF Gods people for th'
amelioration of the sins and sufferings o
his creatures, though small in the esli
mate OF the world, are great in the mn(
of him who alone can render them vic
toriOus. .1
The great petition of the Worlds V. G
T. U. is the plea of suffering, sobbing
womanhood for the protection of her
home and the salvation Of sons and daugh
ters one heart crowding upon another IN
their outreach toward God, until as one
soul, leaving their all with him, they
catch tho sound of his voice, saying, 80,
woman, great is thy faith; be it unto
thee even as thou wilt"
This petition is In circulation the wide
world over, but we fear some woman may
have failed to add her name, and will not
be counted among the pleading host,
therefore, the National w. C. T. U. at It's
late meeting at Atlanta promised renewed
effort that none may be omitted. Great
Britain Is alive to to the work, and
Europe, Asia and Africa are pressing It's
claims.
While we desire the name of every won
an, we also want the Endorsement of men.
Two copies OF the petition can be cltcu-
lated simultaneously; one can be signed
by women as petitioners, the other by men
as indorsers, always leaving the back OF
the petitions free for pastlng upon thin
cloth, in preparation for its journey
round the world. Miss Willard writes,
awe hope tins will be II year when the
work for this petition will be SO largely
increased, that when we meet at fremont
Temple, Boston, in November, 1891, there
will be towers and bastions of petitions
heap-d up as testimony that the great
document is about ready 10 start on It's
We want the heart Of Lady
Henry Somerset to be encouraged by the

haps she will bling over the immense roll

ion OF Canada will not be in arrears, for

W. G. coup's Great Show on Wheels.
A Magnificent Museum Starts for
Trip through the South.

This enterprise has been in course of
preparation for more than year and is
certainly the most novel aud ingenious
affair ever gotten up. 1t was built for
Mr.. Coup by New York and Chicago
capitalists. It is complete museum and
in addition TO innumerable groups of
the finest historically arranged wax
figures, the Show contains interesting ami
NAL and aquarium exhibits. The Sea
Horse, Octopus or devil fish, Temple
Stone from King Salomon's Temple,
Vcsuvius, Mount Blame, Cliff Dwellers,
Az,ecs, G. D. Hicks, the ossiied man; this
wonderful creature, who is fast turning
tobone, has good appetite and is cheerful
aud contented. One cage contains the bird
OF paradise, the priests, nuns, archangels,
and Chinese owls, and hundreds Of
birds Of the most beautiful plumage.
Another cage contains the Chimpanzee,
the "Nigger Baby" the only monkey of
its species in America. Then there Is the
Automaton that speaks and harangues the
audience, the figure Of dying Custer,
the child that cries "Ma.Ma," the old lady
knitting as natural as alive and the magi-
clan. Thel there is the living talking dog,
who says yes and no as plainly as n human
being. There is a colony Of japanese
as they appear in their own native village,
illustrating their national industries. There
is an Electric orchestrlon, 90 feet long,
made by Prof. Jukes; 1t is in @ sections,
plays separately or together. Taken all
together, It is a wonderful exhibition and
Is unlike anything ever seen. The whole
Is lighted by 600 colored electric lights,

Washington Letter.
From our Regular Correspondent. i


WASHINGTON, D. c., May 8, 1891.
The federal council Of Venezuela has
approved the reciprocity proposition sub
mitted TO that government by Secretary
Blaine, without dotting an "i" or crossing
at" and all that is necessary to make II a
law is the proclamation Of the president
which will probably be issued soon after
Mr., Han rison gets back To Washington,
and another market will be opened wider to
American farm products and manufact-
ures, and still the reciprocity idea goes
marching proudly along constantly adding
TO American prosperity.
The report Of the New Orleans grand
jury declining to indlct anybody for the
lynching Of the Italians excited very little
comment here, as II was exactly what
everybody expected. Rudini was several
days ahead Of time in notifying the Mar
quis lmperiali, who was LETT In charge
ofthe Italian legation by Baron Faya, the
minister, OF the severance Of all diplomat
ic relations with the United States. He
should have waited until the report Of the
grand jury was made public, and then he

JonN q SuEFFIELD, Of Bellevue, Huron

shaking hands with friends Mr.. Shelf
field Is looking up his chances for the
nomination Of state treasurer. He has
filed the Office Of treasurer in his own
county TO the entire satisfaction Of the
people and now asks for higher place,
which we are satisfied will be awarded
him at the coming convention. The
southern part of the state has been favored
with The position for the past two terms
and it is but justice TO this part Of the
state that Mr.. Sheffield should be nomina-
ted on the first ballot.

Those white men watched me very
closely and after few moments went out

and found them trying their pistols and
they remarked to one another that they
were all right.
Several of those who came with me
stood between them and the window near
which sat, to protect me from any ball
that might be sent in that direction. The

As predicted, the grand jury in New
Orleans failed 70 find a bill against anyone
for numbering the delenceless Italians
confined in jOil in that city March IA.
Now those twelve men settle the matter
so far as this country is concerned, unless
the matter should have rehearing. The
king Of Italy is about 10 submit their
grievances against this country TO other
nations and the probabilities are that they
will soon request their treaties with us 10
be reyoked. The government should be
clothed with authority to take exclusive
control Of such matters as occurred at
New Orleans, then the responsibility
would rest where II belonged. The king
Of Italy has a just right to feel grieved
over the matter and the sooner we make
change in our constitution TO give the
general government additional powers,
the better II will be for US.

comes to some of us after we have put into
words the thoughts that torment Us. She
was free now and she wrote the other story
her tale for the magazine, but she knew
that it was miserable affair.
Lorna was worse that morning. Her
mother took her into her arms and looked
into her suffering face. IF l keep her

herself. 81 shall have nothing LETT"
She wrapped up her manuscript and took
il herself to the editor. She wanted to
bring his answer back. He was willing to
him as he did so. with veryalittle hope in
her face. He read it carefully at first,
then ho turned over the pages rapidly. and
finally put the manuscript down.

He looked at her III surprise, for she was

He took the paper and began to read casu-
ally, then he became interested. He read
Co the end without speaking. When he had
finished he rang the bell and gave the manu-
script to tile young man who answered his
summons. This can go to press at once"

down again. She did not utter word.

pitied herself and fancied herself victim.
while she accepted her husbands racrifice
and spoiled his life. Size had been cruel to
him with the cruelty which demands every
thing and gives less than nothing in re-
turn.
And yet" said Ralph, when he told the
Story-he had never repeated it to any one
beiore-"l never ceased TO love her while
sine lived, and when she died the world
seemed empty TO me. suppose it was only
this, That never could take back what L

There was not much in the story itself,
but it held Eleanor's thoughts fast and
would not let them go, because the love that
had been SO scorBed and wasted would have
made the happiness of her life. She must
write her tale, but how She could not
cast into its foolish Incidents the burning
thoughts that possessed her; these were all
woven about another thread. And while
she still thought her child cried, and she
had to leave her work TO sootbe it. She lay
down on the bed beside it and fell asleep.
She awoke in the dead Of the night. The
anxious thought which watches ever beside
the pillow of the unhappy leaped at once to
its place in her mind, giving her no respite.

There was no difficulty now. The facts
in her mind ranged themselves instantly

and regret and longing, shaped themselves
into eager thought.

GORGEOUS GOWNS,

Three New Dresses Which Nine. Sarah
Bernhardt Has Accepted"
Sarah Bernhardt has, according to New
York special to the st. Louis Post Dispatch,
three gorgeous new gowns to wear in her
production of La Dame Challant" The
first is yellow sixteenth century bro
catelle, the waist and train Of which are
bordered with real marten fur in squares,
with gold soutache. Each corner of every
square is caught with topaz. The train
has three rows of topazes, with six-inch
border of marten fur The skirt, which is
of heavy silk satin, supports an over gar
ment arranged with squares of gold held by
topazes. A girdie five yards long of gold
studded with topaZes is wound about the
dress. An enormous hat of brocatelle with
eleven plumeS completes the costume.
The second dress is of Nile green, gold
embroidered antique velOurs. The waist and
train are embroidered additionally with
real gold lace The train of the skirt ia
lined with satin fesh-colored and the skirt
itself is completely covered with handmade
gold lace. The overgown is trimmed with
pearls, and velours hat, covered with the
same jewels and crowned with ostrich tips,
crowns the creation. With this costume
Nine. Bernhard will wear, in addition, a
turquoise head dress and her famous string
of TWO hundred pearls.
The third costume, and perhaps the most
elegant, is OF ivory satin, on the corsage
on which are to be affixed quantities of
diamonds and rubies. A standing collar of
gold after the FlOrentine fashion encircles
the neck. The train of this gown is very
long and is bordered with deep ermine
Over two hundred skins have been used.
The underskirt is edged with 1900 small
turquoises, the value of the latter alone
being $4,000, the stones used in decorating
the dress being furnished by Nine. Bern
hardt. The value of the three dresses is
something extraordinarily large on account
of the precious stones used upon them.
