Mrs. Harrison Is the only Presidents
wife. saws a Washington correspondent,
who has made an inventory of the FUR
niture of the white house. She believes
that all of its fine old articles have an
historic value and that they should be
preserved. Since the white house was
opened by Mrs. John Adams more than
500. 600 has been spent for furniture,
but the amount of personal property
now in the white house would not bring
$50. 600 at auction
4 great deal of the table silver has
disappeared, but there is still some
which finds place of honor at the state
dinners.
One of the most beautiful parts OF the
whole collection Is the solid silver SER
vice which was bought Ivy President
Monroe. The shapes Of these articles
are curious. There are two soup
tureens with covers. and these turcens
are affixed 10 large. oyal-shapcd' Hat
bot.omed stands, which spread out be-
meath them like trays. There are silver
, cake baskets, silver gravy boats. solid
silver coffee anil TIA urnS and fine cut
glass claret jugs with silver tops.
One of the most curious pieces of the
white house silver service is the silver
| Uiavatha. boat. which was bought
at the centennial eNpcsi ion OF 1876.
This is used at most of the state dim
ners. and is always filled with flowers
| There are also the crld spoons and
forks which were bouc,t by President

LABOR CONGRESS.
The Trade UnioniStS Favor Paying Men,
bsrS Of Legislative Bodies.

NEWCASTLE Eng.), Sept 1O.-Among
the subjects brought before the Trades
Union Congress this morning was that of
the age at which children should be allowed
to work in factories. A greet majority of
the delegates were in favor of raising the
limit of age, minority opposed it. Finally
motion to raise the age limit to thirteen
years was passed by vote of 265 10 l63.
To-day one of the political features of the
work before the Congress was developed.
1t arose when the question of paying mem-
bers of PariiaIsicciiss.. came up for discussion.
As is well known member of the BRUSH
Parliament receives no pay, and, cOnse-
Quently, II is a difficult matter for a poor
man to get into Parliament, and still more
difficult to stay there. 1t was announced in
the Congress to-day that this question, as
well as the kindred questionS-thoSe of the
payment of the memDe rs Of County Councils
and School B0ardS-wOuld come up prOmi-
nently at the next session of Parliament,
and the willingness of candidate for Par
lament at the coming general election to
vote for these payments would be made one
of the tests upon which the trades uniOnistS
would decide whether or not to support such
Candidate. 1t will thus be seen that the
labor party seems inclined TO ignore old
political parties on the whole, and support
those who will support the measures advo-
Gated by the Trades Union Congress.

affair. 1t was apparently selected as an 0c-

upon the peace prospects of Europe. De
Freycinet, during the course of his speech,
made special reference to the pac ific ten

and give exercise in the duties of Command

of the foreign military attaches in Paris,
proposed toast to De Freyclnet and Gen.

She has been stopping at the residence oil
Rev. DIR. Bolton. Last evening Miss Ava
and Mrs. Bolton drove to the Jesuit Church
on the West Side. Miss Ava entered the
church building, telling her companion that
she only intended having few minutes
conversation with the priest. Mrs. Bolton
waited half an hour, and finally became
alarmed when Miss Ava did not return.
She remembered the missionary had spoken
of receiving letters in which her life was
threatened, and feared she had come TO
harm. Mrs. Bolton at once notified the pO-
lice. The detectives who were sent OUT
learned from the priest at the church that
Miss Ava had called, and after fifteen min
utes' conversation about religious matters
had gone away. All attempts to gain any
clew to her whereabouts alter that time
thus far have been fruitless.
Miss Ava is said to be very wealthy and

Mrs. DR.. Bolton In an interview said Miss

said that she had accompanied Miss Ava to
the Jesuit College a number OF times. but
there was nothing in the young lady's LIE 10
show she was in any way partial to the "a TIL

Bolton the Object of her visit to the college,
and the latter had never asked. Mrs. Bolton
said that the day Miss Ava disappeared she
waited at The college door fully two hours

made inquiry, which was fruitless.

THE LIMA STRIKE.
The Company Discharges All the Railroad
Strikers.


LIMA Ohio, Sept 10-The Lake Erie
and Western Railroad is again tied up, and
ali of the freight trains are stopped. The
switchmen went out Tuesday night, de-
manding an increase of wages, and the
trainmen refused to work until the switch
men are satisfied. Superintendent Hill Is
here aud said that he was tired of being
dictated to, and thought it was about time
the company should run its own business.
Superintendent Hill aud Trainmast er
Cook, of the Lake Erie and Western, went
into the yards to-day and made up the trains
in place of the striking switchmen. A west
bound train got out four miles when strikers
boarded it and pulled out all the coupling
pins, which they hld in the grass. They
compelled the engineer and fireman to let
the water out of the engine and leave the
train. The east-bound passenger was de-
layed four hours until the freight train
could be removed. At o'clock this alter
noon the first freight in two DAYS was gotten
under successful headway. 1t was followed
by an engine to Buttlani, distance of ten
miles, armed officers being on the engine.
The strikers made no attempt to stop it
Since then several other trains have been
sent out, and it is believed the company has
won. This morning the switchmen spiked
the switches and did everything possible to
cause trouble. When Superintendent Hill

desisted.
To-day the striking yardmen held con-
ference with General Superintendent Hill,
and on their refusal to return to work at
the cOmDany'S terms they were discharged.

A MISSING WILL.
Claims Of Relatives Of Mrs.

Liberal BequeStS Said to Have Been Made

New YORK. Sept. 10.-It is stated that
Mrs. Mark Hopkins Searles informed two
persons four years ago that she had made q
will in favor of several of her near relatives
whom she had befriended during her life.
This missing will, it is now claimed. was
made about the time she married Mr..
Searles. 1t specifically described, II
is understood, the relative esteem
Mrs. Hopkins had for certain persons
prominent among a;hanm were her now dis
inherited son, Timothy Hopkins. and lis
wife, to whom was left one-half of her
estate. Nothing has heretofore been said
by those interested in contesting the will.
which makes Mr.. Searles the sole benef-
ciary of the existence of this impor-
tant document. 1t is evident, how
ever, from the circumstances just
brought TO light, that this document
is the fundamental basis of the claims now
being made upon the estate. The liberal
bequests to near relatives there named are
cited TO prove the real intent that Mrs.
Hopkins had before she married the second
time. Meanwhile the executors intimate
that affairs will be amicably settled.
Mrs. Searles' cousin, Mrs. Smith of Daven-
port Center, was questioned To-day about
the coming contest.
'Do you think Mrs. Searles was unduly
influenced in making ner last WHIP"
''Yes, l do" firmly replied Mrs. Smith.
81 could think nothing else, as her assur-
ances were all to the contrary, and had
been given without my solicitation. A
change took place in the last few years.
1t seemed to begin, as near as | can
learn, when she met Mr.. Searles. The in
fluence gradually weaned her away from all
her old associations. She seemed wrapped
up in some pursuit that Ineyer could under
stand"
Mrs. Smith did not know positively of
Mrs. Searles' alleged spiritualistic delu-
sions," but said she had SHOWN very liberal
religious upiniOns.
