A New Ranking House.

Speaking of the new banking firm about
TO open business in Washington, the Chat
tanooga (Tenn.) Times of the 11th instant
says:
Mr.. Watkins has been remarkably successful
In bringing large blocks OF money to Chatta-
nOogn, and many of our leading enterprises are
due to his personal efforts. It's estimated that
he has for himself and others invested over
$4,000, 900 in Chattanooga. Conspicuous among
his ventures are the Electric Street Railroad,
the Lookout Mountain Railroad and this Look
out Inn, the Richardson block, the Chattanooga
National Bank, the East End Land Company,
the Southern Bank and score or more of the
lesser monuments of Chattanooga. Mr.. Wat
kins has been most useful friend OF Chatta-
nooga, a firm believer In its future. His resi-
dence, just completed ut q cost OF $4,000, is one
OF the gems Of the city.
Chattanooga can congratulate ttaelf that Mr..
Watkins IL going to go to work Systematically
to interest men OF capital here by Identifying
himself with q Arm whose business II will be
to handle Southern investments and securities.
Captain s. II. Buck, who IL member OF the
firm, IL well known throughout the South; lie
was one of the leading spirits OF the New Orleans
Exposition, ana was one or the promoters oi
the kimball Town Company. and the Rom'

The Presbytery Has Vision of She
Elders and She Preachers.

Elders and She Preachers.
From he NeO York sun, t2M
"shall the Presbyterian Church have
deaconesses2" is question referred by the
General Assembly to the Presbyteries.
The New York Presbytcry referred II to a
committee, and yesterday IL discussed
two reports--a majority report, which
said NO" and u minority report, which
said Eyes"
The majority report says that there is
no Scriptural authority for deaconesses.
The Rev. DIR. Lampe declared that there
was precisely as much authority for elect
ing Bishops as deaconesscs. The order of
deaconesses in the early Church owed its
origin to the converts from heathenism,
who had been used to she gods and
priestesses. If women could be deacon
esses they could, logically, be elders and
ministers. Celibacy, with its attendant
evils, became the rule of the sisterhoods
into which the deaconesses of the early
Church were merged, and such sister
hoods were likely TO follow their revival.
"a sisterhood of the grand old Presby-
terian Chuch, which in times past has
borne testimony against the nonsense and
wickedness of Romanism and in favor of
the sanctity of marriage" exclaimed DR..
Lampe at this point.
The minority report agreed with the
majority that there was no Scriptural
authority for the institution of deacon
csses, but wanted the order instituted all
the same as a recognition of the religious
work now done by women.
The Rev. DIR. Hall laid stress on the
abandonment Of the order of dcaconesscs
because Of the abuses which resulted from
il in both the Greek and Roman Church.
The Rev. DIR. Ramsay spoke in favor of
the minority report, and the Rev. DIR.
McGevain said that Congregational
each of his deaconesses was equal to nine
dcacons. The debate will be continued at
the next meeting

Thrifty Father Ignatius.
From he Meto York Sun.


There is no reason for wonder at the
failure of Father Ignatius to stir up re-
ligious flame in this city. To many who
have read the reports of his sermons, and
who have seen that every reporter has
testified to his eloouence and fervor, it
might seem incomprehensible that he
should not have made at least such an i'm
preston upon the public as Mr.. Moody
succeeded in making few years ago.
A contributor to the Press explains the
failure. He says that gentleman who
bad been to the meetings complained that
he was shocked by the bartering and beg
ging that attended the service. ~ was
asked to buy a seat, hymn book, an au-
tograph and other things. Then was
asked to contributeto pay for the hall and
for Llanthony Abbey" lie wondered
"if he would be allowed to get out with
the shirt on his back"
This indicates that the cash side of the
mission has been made apparent above
the religious side; and il has failed in con
se0llenCe.

Imported Costumes.

Jennings 4 Co., the well-known dress
makers of New York, are now holding
their annual exhibition of imported cos
TUNES and wraps in parlor Il, Arlington
Hotel. This firm is well known as the
leading costumers of America, and their
importations are always of the highest
order. Their visit is looked forward to
with pleasure by the leading ladies OF onr
city and their present showing consists of
costumes, wraps, ball and dinner gowns
of most bewildering beauty and good
taste.
The attention of our reporter was called
particularly to white tulle and satin ball
dress with rainbow scarf over front, a
creation of Worth's, and also to q tea
dress of white cloth, embroidered in baige
velvet and gold However, to enumerate
the many beautiful effects would require
to much space and we can only advise
those seeking the most beautiful in ladies
costumes to visit this exhibition.

From Me CincinndN Gazette.

from We cincinnati GdzeUe.
The Republicans in Congress are not
working as IL they appreciated the fact
that only forty-four working days remain
before they go out of power in Congress.
Yet this Is their lease on life; and the
period when they will return to full
power is yelled in dim future.
1t is true that after the 4th of March
they will retain the Senate, but, with the
the House, they will be utterly unable to
accomplish any legislation which is dis
tinctly Republican for some years to
come. The class of measures here re-
ferred to as Republican are not wholly
partisan, but include all of the broad
National legislation to which the Republi-
can party has always turned its efforts,
and which the Democracy has either
treated with indifference or opposed.
1t is the boast of those about coming
into partial power, and who are uniting
for desperate struggle for full possession
of the Government, that their mission will
be to overthrow much that Republicans
have accomplished.
Thercremains great mass of unfinished
business before the present Congress. 1t
would be most becoming in the party in
power If 1t would devote the few days of
its lease on legislative power to energetic
and persistent work. The daily sessions
should begin earlier. There should soon
be night sessions. And most of the really
mcritorious measures on the calendars
should be forced through. There is no
further hope for partisan legislation of any
consequence.
The treachery of few Republicans has
made it impossible for the party to re-
deem its pledges, and TO give the country. a
law that would enable every citizen to
vote and have his ballot counted. The
failure must rest on the heads of those
Senators who Joined hands with the DEM
ocrats and made it possible for these to
prevent this important legislation. As
matters look from the outside it will be
useless to make further attempts to pass
the election bill. The effort must fail,
and the attempt will only result in defeat
ing much important unfinished work.
This latter should be in large part COM
pleted. It will not be to the credit of the
party if the closing hour of the session
finds hundreds upon hundreds of per-
fected measures vet on the calendar

Clergymen In Politics.


The extreme partisan organs of either
of the great political parties have found
nothing to commend and much TO con-
denim in the public meeting held the other
night in New York by 125 olergymen, who
represented all denominations, and who
met to consider suggestions for the better
government Of that very badly governed
city. As a rule the partisan journals have
denounced the appearance of clergymen
in politics as improper, because out of
keeping with the dignity and sacredness
of their Office. This is an exceedingly old
form of arraignment, but its antiquity
scarcely warrants its continued use.
There is no other class of citizens that
should be so influential in moulding pub
lie sentiment Alright as that of the clergy,
and the impropriety of its members using
their influence in support of good mu-
nicipal government is not clearly estab-
lished by sneering illusions to Parsons
in Politics" If there is one thing which
the politics Of to-day needs much more
than another it is that citizens of the
highest position, the greatest influence and
the most unquestionable integrity of pur-
pose shall take not only passive interest,
but an active part in IL.
There is nothing unseemly, much less
| improper, in u large and truly representa-
| tive body of clergymen meeting together
WIN lItlI ltllOW-'ltlIthS w
for wrestling the government of the city in
which they live and labor from the mis-
rule of corrupt and incompetent men.
Bad government in a populous municipal
ity carries after ii a long train OF practical
evils, and not only physical, but moral
ones, which latter II would seem to be the
especial duty Of clergymen to look AFTER
and If possible, abate.
The clergymen Of greatest usefulness,
of whom Cardinal Manning and Canon
Iiddon We're noble modern examples,
have been those who have lived and
wrought closest TO the people; who have,
when occasion made IL iii for them to do
50, come out OF the pulpit and talked to
and held counsel with the people face to
face Good government in great city
means not only the physical safety and
care Of the people, but the abatement of
those moral pest places which most de-
grade human life. The clergymen who
met in New York the other night were of
all parties, but they represented none in
their appeals for improved government.
Such AN appeal they had right omake,
not only as leaders of the people, but as
citizens. The bad government which in
lures them personally as members Of the
community they have an unquestonablC
right to protest against; and, as n genera
principle, until politics is much changed
from its present state, the appearance oi
cleTgymen at public meetings appealing
| 90 their fellow-oitiZcnS to unite In support
of good and competent men for public
Office is to be commended rather thar

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Not even the SULLfVNN-kTLRAGN fight of
July, 1850, attracted as much and as vivid
interest as now centres about the DENY
ssY-FirzsfMMoNs match, which is am
nounced to take place tonight before the
Olympic Athletic Club of New Orleans.
Some explanation of this may be found
in the fact that few outside Of SCLLIyAN's
persistent detractors believed that Ku-
RAIN had even the ghost OF chance as
against Sullivan. The man had never
shown himself to be more than a second
rate fighter, whereas SULLIVAN was easily
the first of ALL having never failed to
achieve a victory except in his encounter
with MITCHELL, and then only because he
could not catch MITCHELL The part per-
formed by MITCHELL on that occasion
could have been performed much more
successfully by a rabbit.
In this DEMPSEY FTrzsINMoHs affair
however, there are many elements of un-
usual interest. In the first place, DENr-
sEy is acknowledged the best man of his
weight this country has ever produced.
lie is as nearly SuLLiyAN's equal in science
as seems possible to man; he is a much
E'lltlbls ibN ANAiaiNaNN ii'N'A 'N'
,nce took any pains to nurse his strength;
and lie is game and dangerous in an ex-
fraordinary degree. lie has met but one
defeat and that came from the purest
accident. II would be difficult to imagine
more formidable opponent than DENP-
sEy--of course in the middle-weight class.
But FITzsIMMoNs appears to be Won
der, too. And he Is wonder of such
novel kind; he so sets at naught all ideas
and standards in pugilism; he is so en-
iircly without precedent in every way
that one is at n loss for conjecture. To
begin with, there never was prize fighter
at all like him in any physical respect.
Being more than six feet tall he Is slen.
der, narrow-chcsted and bandy-legged.
lie has not the broad shoulders and
massive limbs which we are wont to as
sociate with bruisers. He is the grey
hound-not the bulldog. Indeed, if he
had rot already certified to his powers by
thrashing some of the biggest men in the
rid, ones first impulse on looking at
him would be to ridicule the idea Of his
being a slugger.
lie is a slugger however, and a terrific
one at that, for he has defeated SL\DF,
II Maori, whom JEM MACE brought here
to whip SULLIVAN. SLADE was ut least
fifty pounds heavier than he, and was
both strong and clever man, but FIrh-
SIMMONS knocked him out almost rs
easily as SULLIVAN did,
The man is wondcr--a caprice OF
nature No wonder the sporting fra
tcrnity Of the country is in u ferment
Tut we shall not have to ferment much
longer. The encounter takes place To
night and the morning papers will tell u'
all about It. FIVE were asked for a tip a

stage. She was the original Cedric in
Little Lord Fauntleroy,h playing that
role for four. months in Boston and ten
weeks in New York city She will be
surrounded by an excellent company, and
the presentation of the play will be on an
unusual style of magniiicence. The pro-
duction is the same as was given at the
Broadway Theatre, New York. Little
Elsie has been on the stage about five
years, and is spoken of as remarkably apt
in her work and so thoroughly imbued
with the importance of her duties upon
the stage that no outside thought or in
iluence can for moment sway her in her
attention to them. She is all business
when at work.

Sounded from tho White House, Which
Was Thought to BE Burning.
Last night, just before o'clock, nm
alarm Of fire was sent from box No. 49,
which is very generally known to be To-
Gated at the White House. The rumor
that the Presidents house was on fire
spread rapidly and attracted q large crowd.
Soon after the alarm had been sounded it
was ascertained that there was no fire.
There seems to be considerable of a
mystery as to where the alarm originated,
inasmuch as there was no fire at the
White House at all. IL was at first thought
that the alarm was caused by the electric
wires being crossed, but upon investiga-
tion this was found not to be the case.
They were just preparing for Diplomatic
reception at the Executive Mansion, and
there was consequently more excitement
than on ordinary occasions.
An electrician was on hand to assist in
the investigation, and he thought that the
alarm must have resulted from an acci-
dental crossing of the electric wire on the
roof Of the mansion. Considerable ex-
citement prevailed in the Presidential
dressing apartments until the situation
was fully explained and assurances given
that there were no indications of fire in
any part of the building. The fire de-
partment retired and preparations for the
reception were resumed. II is fortunate
the accident did not occur an hour later,
when the mansion was crowded with the
participants in the reception, otherwise q
panic might have been The result

on Sunday, MAY IL last.
The witnesses offered by the prosecuting
attorney could not recollect having pur-
chased liquor ut Ryan's place on any Sun

Hagner, who instructed him as to the
proper manner in which to question wit
nesses. The prosecutions case was 50
