A Full Meeting OF the Inmates of the
Riverslde Penitentiary Held.
PrrTsBURG, Pa, October 1.-The
delegates to the National Prison Con-
gress attended services at the First
Presbyterian Church this morning and
in the evening were addressed by Rev.
DR.. II. Beecher, Of Elmira, at the Du-
ouesne Theatre. In the course OF his
remarks DR.. Beecher said the inmates
of penal institutions were proper OBJ
iects of charity and should not be con-
demned because they were caught.
They were not necessarily bad. He
made a plea to the prison keepers to as
sist the chaplains and work In har-
mony. 1t was not right to say to the
chaplain: "We will do the hogging
and you do the preaching"
In the afternoon Ex-President Hayes
and a number of other delegates visited
Riverside penitentiary. For the first
time in the history of the history Of
the Institution all the prisoners number
ing about 500 were permitted to attend
services together in the prison chapel.
The wisdom OF this was questioned by
some few, but every thing passed OF
quietly.
Gen. Hayes spoke few words OF en-
couragement to the convicts and compli-
menteed them on their behavior.
The services were conducted by Rev.
DR.. Milligan, the prison chaplin.

SOCIALISTS IN GERMANY.
They Formulate Series of Advanced De-
mands on the Government.

BERLIN. October 1.-THE Bundles
rath, or legislative body representing
the individual States of Germany, reas-
sembled on Wednesday. The House
considered the projected law to repress

Deror. That fact failed to commend
the bill to the Bundesrath.
A majority declared that their
governments could not accept
the project in its present form. Inc
member from Bavaria lntimated that
that State desired no such liquor legiS-
lation. The Prussian member was the
only plenipotentiary who defended the
measure and the bill was finally referred
TO a commission. The liquor dealers
are ar angling for the holding OF con-
qress at Stuttgart to defend themselves.
The Bundesrath next approved the
edict opening the country TO American
IMPORTS of pork, but will delay deci-
sion on the proposal OF Chancellor Won
Caprivi to relax the veXatlous IormalltleS
restricting the entry of Austrian, ltailan
ana Russian pork into Germeny. Austria

Ysars-He Gives His Holiness
Some AdVics-Malicous
Lsyity.

New YoRk, October 11.-Rev. DR..
McGlynn opened his winter series OF
Sunday night lectures at Cooper's Union
tonight by talk on the Pope. He
said that the time might come when "we
will have democratic Pope and will
walk down Broadway with stove pipe
hat on his head"
Personally, he said, he had been
emancipated from diplomatic relations
with the Pope and was consequently
competent to give him unpreju-
diced advice He advised him not
to listen to the hattery Of
such men as Archbishop Corrigan who
while assuring him that he was the
greatest Pope who ever lived, was get
ing ready to assure the next one that
he is greater than all predecessors.
In the language OF New Workers
such fatterY was "Taffy." He com
miserated the Pope on approaching
senility and wound up by saying "Holy
Father l am ashamed of you"

THE MANIFESTO
OF the National Land League OF England
Stand Firm. 'HOld on; Fight On.''

OF the National Land League OF England
Stand Firm, "HOld on; Fight on"
LONDON, October 1.-THE National
League Of Great Britain has issued the
following manifesto:
"Six months ago the members Of this
executive were appointed by Mr., Par
nell 10 advance the cause Of Irish inde-
peudence In Great Britain. Fighting
under many difficulties we held our
ground and rallied every Irishman who
remained true TO the principle for
which our leader lived and died; the
principle Of an independent Irish Party
and an Independent Irish Parliment.
Ireland has received a blow by his death
from which she will not recover for a
generation. When O'Conneil died all
was chaos.
Then Charles Stewart Parnell came,
and all was changed. RaIlying the
forces of Irish nationality everywhere
and combining revolutionary action
with constitutional agitation, he fixed
the attention OF the civilized world on
the wrongs and miseries of Ireland.
English parties and English leaders
bowed before him. In ten years he did
more for Ireland than had been done
ia generations. Measure after measure
bearing his mark took It's place on tue
statute book. His work was crowned
when the English Premier brought In a
bill TO establish an Irish Parliamen.
''He is gone. Ireland mOurns at his
grave to-day. What is the duty Of those
left behind? What is the duty Of the
men who followed him? To the last to
struggle for Irish freedom. 1t is said
we fought for the man and not the prin-
ciple. II is untrue we fought for the
principle which the man embodied.
The man was indeed q principle, princi-
pie OF self-reliance and independence
which nothing could sap, and in that
principle we are staunch.
Now it is necessary shat the men,
berS OF this organization should elect
new president aud q new executive and
we invite branches in Great Britain to
take steps 70 this end. We urge our
fellow cOuntrymen not TO despair. II
victory seems distant we ask them to
take for their motto the last words ad-
dressed by Mr.. Psrnell to the execu-
tive: Hold on, fight on"

ELLIOT'S APPEAL,
The Columbus Murderer's Case Goes to
the Supreme Court.
S.,,eioL TsLeoran 10 the Register.

the Supreme Court.
Social Telegram TO the Register.
COLUMBUS, ONO, October 11.-Late
last evening the lawyers In the famous
W. j. Elliott murder case appealed TO
the Supreme Court of the State for re-
versal Of the decision Of the lower court
which put Elliott in the penitentiary
for life. 1t was the general belief that
the appeal in Elliott's case would not be
made till after public sentiment which
was very strong against him, had been
somewhat allayed by time.
Since Elliott has been in confinement,
however, he has failed very rapidly,
both physically and mentally, and he
has been continually urging his attor-
news to make the move. The lawyers,
fearing that he will lose his mind, has
tened the appeal.
The bill of exceptions upon which
the motion for a new trial Is based,
covers 5000 pages Of closely typewrit-
ten copy, and alleges error on the part
of the lower court in almost innumer-
able instances.
In case Elliott gets new trial, he
will be transferred from the peniten-
tiary to the county jail till final de-
cision is reached.
The trial of his brother, Patsy El-
lott, comes off in November.

SPARTA, ILL, October 11.-Just south
OF Sparta to-day, Mrs. Sylvester Brown,
while laboring under temporary aberra-
tion of mind. attempted to take the lives
of her two little daughters and then de-
stroy her own. She procured shotgun
and three shells, and placing her two
little daughters, aged and years, side
by side, discharged the first shot.
The charge took lodgment just above
the heart of one OF the children, but,
strange to say, did not Kill it. The
souud OF the shot alarmed Brown, who
was at work near by. Leaving his wife
and children in charge OF his hired man,
be went for medical aid.
During his absence Mrs. Brown made
q frantic effort to take her own life,
but failed after second discharge of
the gun. The family is one of the most
prominent and respected in this vi
cinity.

reached the spot. The hearse was then
taken to the upper gates. Here the
coffin was removed and placed upon a
platform especially constructed for the
purpose, ia order TO enable those in the
procession to file around and have full
view OF the bier.
At six o'clock the fast falling dusk
found the procession still fling past.
There seemed no likelihood that the
stream Of marchers would end till far
into the night, so orders were given to
remove the coffin 10 the side Of the
grave. A body Of the Clan Ma Gael
succeeded In clearing way 10 the grave
and formed a circle.
The crush around about was terrible.
Darkness had set in. The noise OF
shrieking women, the cries Of children
and the cries Of men struggling amid
the crush made inaudible the voices OF
the clergy reciting the ritual OF the
Church of England.
The first portion Of the service had
been celebrated at st. Nicholas church,
where the remains rested twenty min
utes while on the way from the city
hall. At the grave Rev. Mr.. Vincent
Of the Rotunda Chapel and the Rev.
George Fry, OF Manchester, of1iciated.
They were obliged to cut the services
short, as the crowd broke into the pro-
tecting circle and overwhelmed the in
ner group.
IT WAS COLD AND DARK.
Some time after, in the dead darkness,
when the crowd had thinned away the
more intimate friends again grouped
themselves around the grave, deposited
wreathes thereon and took the last look
of the coffin.
IL was seven o'clock when the mourn
ers started 10 return to the city. Apart
from the accidental disorders at the
cemetery, the day was without incident.
Probably never, anywhere, was a great
popular demonstration attended by so
little excitement. Most of the public
houses remained closed throughout the
day out Of respect TO the dead. The
police unfailingly ObStrusive in Irish
public gatherings, were to-day conspic-
uouSly absent. Tonight quiet prevails
ip the city.
