NEW YORK, May 25.-Ernest Jarrold,
the author of the Mickey Finn sketches,
which have delighted lovers of Irish char

low the medium size, with dark, expressive
eyes, hair slightly tinged with gray, and a
sympathetic voice that adds to the most
simple description an indescribable grace
and charm. Jarrold is Bohemian by nat

Mr.. Jarrold was born in the village of
Brentwood, suburb of London, England,
forty years ago. He crossed the ocean
when two years old, and was taken by his
father, who was a carpenter, to the village
Of Rondout, Ulster county, n. Y. When
eighteen years old he was apprenticed to
the proprietor Of the Rondout Courier to
learn the printers trade At the age of
twenty he married and settled down to the
uneventful life of compositor, and work
ed for ten years in that capacity, earning
ten dollars week. His family increased
until there were four children to provide
for. Then Jarrold got uneasy. He began
in desultory way to contribute to the
Rondout Freeman.
The articles were always printed, but the
fever of writing was on him and he wasn't

VERNON. THE EVANGELIST.

81 THE regular Sunday afternoon meeting
of tbe Y. NJ c. A, which was addressed
by the evangelist, Rev. Leigh r. Vernon
was in some respects the most remarAaole
meeting ever held under the auspices OF
that association. The regular SUNDAY
h afternoon meetings of this association are
designed for men only, boys OF course
n heinp admitted, but it was distinctly I'M
d ,lerstood that boys under twelve years OF
s soe would not be admitted TO this meet
inp. This announcement simply brought
ont the men in larger numbers than usual,
and even few boys under the prescribed
age. whose daring was only equaled by
their curiosity, found their way into the
hall. until that vast auditorium was hIled
+ TO its utmost capacity.
Il After the usual devotional exercises, con
Quoted by Revs. Nusbaum, Marsh and
Watson, the latter leading the music,
Mr.. Vernon introduced his discourse
/ by reading a suitable portion Of Scripture
and took for his theme Galatians 6:7-'Be
not deceived; God is not Knocked; for what
a man soweth, that shall he also reap"
The speaker at once entered upon radi-
: cal discussion of the temperance question,
whisky business as it is carried on IN
Wichita and other similar places, especial
/ Nv in his own native City, San francisco,
Cal. He related some very touching incl
dents that came within his own expert
ence in connection with the rum habit and
its natural concomitants, gambling, IL
Righteousness, etc. He dealt very plainly
with all these common evils. The only
mistake of the speaker, perhaps, was IN
supposing that his California style OF put
/ ting things-a la Sam Jones-was appllca-
bic or fitting to the fine audience before
him, which included many of our very
best citizens, and very few, if any. of the
element he was supposed to be addressing.
However, he closed with powerful appeal
to all in the house to lead nobler, purer
life, and when the proposition was made
for all who would, God helping them, en-
|deavor to lead such life, there was wit
messed a scene that is seldom witnessed in
a life time, and that brought tears Of joy
TO many stout hearts present-the entire
audience OF nearly thousand men, young
and old, with only four or five exceptions,
rising TO their feet.
At the close nearly the entire audience,
Especially the young men, went forward
and took Mr.. Vernon by the hand and
|solemnly pledged themselves to the fulfill
ment of their VOWS An after-meeting
was held, at which several conversions
took place Could Mr.. Vernon have access
to our young men in this way few times
he would bring about a complete moral
Reformation among them.
The Union tabernacle meeting on South
|Emporia avenue on Sunday evening, con-
Quoted by Mr. Vernon, assisted by Rev.
Nusbaum, Marsh, Hamilton, Smith and
IothePs, was marked with the usual inter
lest, and number of genitents expressed
desire to seek the better way. Several
found that peace for which they sought

WASHINGTON, April S.-Major William
Mckinley, Jr., on his return here from
his tour through New England and New
York, was met by the gratifying news OF
Republican victory in Ohio. When The
Press correspondent met him to-day his
face was wrcathed with smiles. He had
lust finished perGsal of dispatches from
various cities showing tremendous Re
publican gains as compared with the con-
tests of 1889 and 1899. In discussing
them he said;
at seems to me that the result of our
elections yesterday may be regarded, not
only significant, but encouraging to the
Republican party. So, also, is the good
news Of the Republican victory in Michi-
gan. Yesterdays elections demonstrate
that the Republicans of the West are
getting into fighting trim for 1872, AMI
that they mean to win"
"What has induced the increased Re-
puldican vote y
"Well. tie people seem to be finding ont
that what the false prophets told them
last wear about the tariff was lie. They
have learned that the talk of increased
prices upon llfc's necessities as a result
of the tariff act of 1890 was pure fiction
sa W signs OF a tremendous Republican
revival when was in New York. This
was made partly evident by the victories
achieved in the recent local elections. OF
course it is impossible to argue with
absolute accuracy from any local cleo
tions, but they Indicate in great measure
the public pulse, and think those recent
liz held exhibit q remarkable amount of
energy and a get together feeling on the
part of Republicans throughout the
country"

Europe's Wheat Crop Failure.

Europe w 06dI OTOp a T etllCAl y.
A dispatch from London, dated April
9th, says:
"The Standard today publishes a long
and careful review of the agricultural
outlook, in the course of which it says
that the steady rise in wheat reviyes the
hopes of the English farmer, adding that
wheat will probably reach the highest
price in many years, the principal cause
of the rise being the failure Of foreign
crops The wheat crops of France and
Russia, according to the Standard, are
much below the average, and, the same
paper says, the deficiency will be at least
500, 900, 900 quarters, adding: at is ex-
pected that cold winds and frost have al
most destroyed the French crops. Ger
many, Holland and Belgium all furnish
pessimI,t reports. In Romania there IS a
decreased wheat area, and in India there
has been bad wheat season.
The only exception is Hungary, where
there are better prospects. out it is al
most certain that the worlds wheat con-
sumption will exceed the production
computed. Whatever the magnitude of
the American crop may be il will not be
sufficient to cover the European deficit,
thus compelling an extensive draft upon
the reserves for the third year in ucces-
si0n."
The Standard. in conclusion, says:
"The increased home consumption, the
decreased wheat area, owing to spread Of
population and recourse to scientific
tiliage in order to repair the waste OF
first settlers, thus increasing the cost OF
production, must inevitably remove the
American farmers formidable competi-
tion in European markets and allow the
English farmer to look forward to q rros'
porous future"
