of Secretary Window was thus referred to
by the Chaplain of the Senate, the Rev. j.
G. Butler:
To whom can we come but to Thee, o God,
under the dark cloudf We rejoice that death
does not end all. We pray Thee for the life
immortal, through Jesus Christ, Our Lord.
Teach us SO to live before God obediehtly,
hunbly prayerfully and trustingly-so to live
before men, charitably, kindly ana faithfully
that death may be to us but sleep. We thank
Thee for that life so true. SO pure SO useful. SO
long preserved, so good. nodded and fashioned
by faith in Christ Oh. Lord, hide not thy lace
from us in the day of trouble. Look merci-
fully upon and deal tenderly with Thy hand
maiden and with that family now in great sor-
row. Sustain and strengthen ana comfort
them, and cause faith to triumph in the hour
OF greatest darkness. Teach us so to live, day
by day before God, in the discharge of every
duty, that when we shall be called we may be
ready to die and to live where they die no
more.
The journal of yesterday was then read,
and, as soon as the reading was ended, Mr..
Morrill,, in a voice tremulous with emotion,
said: ''In consequence of the recent calam-
! ity which has visited us in the sudden de-
cease of a former eminent member of this
body, and a distinguished officer of the Gov
ernment, the Secretary of the Treasury, I
move that the Senate do now adjourn"

JULES vERNEs PATRIOTISM.
He Refuses to Write a Book to Make

He Refuses to Write a Book to Make
France and Germany Friends.
A French physician, while in Berlin,
lately had conversation with a Teutonic
colleague relative to the prospects of rec
onciliation between France and Germany.
The Gaul expressed his belief that the prn-
cIpal cause of the animosity between the
two nations was attributable to the ignor.
ance of Frenchmen as regards Germany, and
opined that this might be obviated if popu-
lar works, dealing with German life and
scenery, were published in France.
The Berlin doctor at once conceived the
idea of writing to N Jules Verne, and ask.
ing him to bring out book TO be called "a
Thirty Days Trip Through Germany" The
author, in replying, thanked the medical
gentleman for the confidence which he
placed in him, but he doubted whether he
was cut out for re-establishing friendly re-
lations between the two countries.
"If they are foes" added the novelist, cit
is not because they do not know one an
other; and the book which you suggest
would have no success. Nothing short of
an act of reparation will modify the sentl-
ments entertained by Frenchmen Tor Ger
mans. 1t is not necessary for me to tell you
in what that act may consist; but anything
else would be vain, delusive and impossible
to accomplish"
NJ. Verne thus closed the correspondents
by this characteristic reference to Alsace.

Member Tewkesbury Has His Bill on the
Subject Recommitted.
rFRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENCE
e HHARRIsBURG, Jan. 30.-There has been
a good bit of amusement over the bill intro
duced here by Member Tewkesbury, Of
Columbia county, to legalize liens on tomb
stones and other graveyard property. The
committee to which it went negatived it, and
so much fun was made over the bill that it
brought Mr.. Tewkesbury into prominence Of
a mirthful type. He created a sensation in
the House to-day by moving the recommit-
ment of the bill. At the same time he filed
his written reasons for making the re-
quest.
They are that the committee had squelched
the bill without calling any of its friends
before them; that comment on the bill had
placed him in an unfavorable position in the
House, and. finally, that the bill is in the
interest oflabor, as marble cutters demanded
such a law. Thel law is in force il Ohio and
other States. Mr.. Tewkesbury said. The
bill was recommitted.

meant that the aid of the Government was

OF the campaign, and which never implied
ieebier or less efficacious attempt to settle
the great question than that made by Mr..
Gladstone in 1851. Certainly Mr.. Shaw
Leievre could not have consulted Mr.. Par

worse for the cause in which they were en-

English public the seamy side of one Of the

WAS HE A JAILBIRD?
Taubeneck's Photograph Identified as
That of a Criminal by
THE WARDEN AND MANY OTHERS.
The Illinois Alliance Statesman Win Facs
His Accusers.
THE MATTER IS TO BE INVESTIGATED
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,

ESPECIAL TELEGRAx TO THE DIsPArcH.i
COLUMBUS, Jan. 30.-W. E. Dvyer, Of
Indianapolis, was at the State prison to-
day, having with him a photograph of
Herman z Taubeneck, the Alliance men-
Der of the Illinois Legislature whose
identity has been confounded with
that of w. H. Rogers, who served
term in the Ohio prison.
Dwyer came late last night. He called the
warden out at 2 o'clock this morning and
explained his business, but refused to give
his name. and said he would answer no ques-
tions. Dwyer produced the photograph,
and asked that it be shown to the prisoners
who remembered Rogers.
George Nye. an expert on Identification,
when shown the picture, at once stated it
was that of Rogers. He was confident as to
the identity. Dvyer said Rogers right
name was Taubeneck, and the parents of
the Alliance member live few miles from
Marshall, ILL.,, and are respectable people,,
He also said the brothers and sisters are the
identical persons whom Rogers said uere'
his brothers and sisters.
Dwyer said that in 1874 1aubeneck pur-I
chased q cow from widow, and the money
he paid her was all counterfeit but 81, and,
when this was discovered, he left, coming to
Ohio, where he assumed the name Rogers. .
BE also gave some history of the marriage
and business relations of Taubeneck in this
State. He deserted his wife, and after being
paroled in 1886 under the name Rogers, Tau
beneck appeared at his home and was
recognized by his uncle, who has been the
cause of the recent trouble. The father OF
young Taubeneck made an effort to keep
the matter quiet, saying the son was of
mentally. .-- e.
When Dwyer left this morning he took
with him the photograph of Taubeneck, and
also the letters which had been received
from p. P. Laughlin and Fred Wood, which
played an important part in securing the
parole OF Rogers.
P. P. Donahue, grocer. who was foreman
In the shop where Rogers worked, was
shown the picture of Tauoeneck by Dwyer,
and said it was that of Rogers, and il not it
ought 10 be. Dwyer offered to pay the ex-
penses OF Donahue to Marshall, ILL.,,
it he would 90 to-day, but as he
| could not do so it was arranged for
him to 20 Tuesday. He says he
| could recognize Rogers the moment be saw
him, and if Taubeneck was not the man he
would say SO very quickly. Dwyer says
Taubeneck bears every mark and answers
| every description given of Rogers.
On examination of the statistics Warden
Dyer has decided, in case Taubeneck should
turn out to be Rogers, he will have the
authority to reincarcerate him, as the time
intervening between the violation of the pa.
role and the return to prison does not count
on the sentence.
