relief of distress in Ireland. He explained

highly of the assistance the farmers,
priests and landlords had rendered, which
saved the government much expense.
There had been no case of starvation on
the main land, but great risk of starvation
on the islands. aud, therefore, special
steamers had been chartered to investigate
the condition OF the inhabitants and CON

KANSAS CITY. March l2.-Judge
Caldwell. in the United States circuit
court. today signed the decree of fore
closure in the case of the Rock Island
road against the Chicago. Kansas &
Nebraska, and the latter line will now be
disposed Of by public sale to satisfy the
Rock Islands mortgage OF S2S, 900, 900.
The case has been hotly contested for
over a year. The controversy arose over
the foreclosure of a mortgage on the
Chicago, Kansas & Nebraska road. The
counties Of Kansas and Nebraska,
through which the road was built, voted
1000, 900 in aid of it and they fought
the foreclosure. Judge Caldwell referred
the case to Newman Erb as referee. Erb
decided in favor of the Rock Island, and
Judge Caldwell sustained the decision.
The Kansas and Nebraska counties lose
the value of their stock, which will
become worthless upon the sale of the
road. 1t is rumored that a Gould syn
dictate will buy the road when 1t is put up
at auction and thus kill active competition
with the Union Pacific.

and Masters union, No. e, OF St. LOUIS,
asking them to boycott beer from the An
heuser Busch Brewing Association, VIM.

Louis Brewing Association. 1t is stated
tharthe Central Labor union. Knights of
Labor and American Federation Of Labor

Busch and VIM. j. Lemp's beer: that

union scale; that these two leading brew
cries had tried to weaken the boycott, and
had attempted to hire representatives of
unions to remove the boycott. Soon after
the receipt of these letters small boycott
tickets were found pasted around al the
downtown saloons. The center of the
ticket bore n skull and cross bones. These
tickets were pasted on the GROWERS
which were used during the evening.

that has caused the trouble is one by
which Thomas agrees not to employ in
his orchestra for these twenty week series

tlrelY from European musicians and those
from other states. Two weeks ago

They, with one accord, decided that they
would have nothing to do With II, for Il

COLUMBUS. Ind March I2.-Miss
Carrie May Glass. a beautiful girl of II,
was taken into court today at Shelbyvine
by the sheriff on a charge of incorrigibility,
based upon an affidavit filed by Phillip
Glass. The case is peculiar and pathetic.
Glass is a full. blooded negro and the young
woman is a Caucasian, fair, pretty and
Intelligent. Glass says that she refuses
to live at home. and he wants her sent to
the Female R-tOrmatory. He also claims
that fifteen years < he went to the
Orphans Home at indianapolis and
adopted the gtrl, when she was only ,
years old that her parents were negroes
who went by the name of McAllister, but
he says that since she has grown up she
denles that she is a negress and refuses to
associate with the cOlored people. The
girl pleads that she is of white parentage.
She recently found the record OF her birth
10 a Bible, and has positive proof OF her
lineage. She is 4 blonde, of a very fine
complexion, and has large hazel eyes, full
Of expression and intelligence. The court
continued the case until tomorrow. that
the Bible and other testimony might be
produced. Her age, however, will not
permit of her confinement in the re-
iOrmatory for inc~orriGibility, and as no
criminal charge lies against her the
court will likely release her.

McAnnae,. New scheme.

NEw York, March IA stock COM
pany is being founded by Jack McAuliffe,
lightweight champion of the world, Tor
the purpose of putting on the market a
new kind of bread. Phil Dryer, Dick
Roche, Billy Donohue, Jerry Mahoney
aud Mike Minden have been asked to fur
nIsh the capital, and they are all consider
ing the matter.
Il tell you Wat said McAuliffe to a
party OF turtles at the St. James hotel
last night, I've struck my gait at last.
I'll quit the ring and the turf forever it I
form this company. The people can live
without liquor and they can get along
without playing the horses, but they must
have bread. Here's my scheme" he con-
tinued, earnestly, after the manner of Col.
Sellers. There are nearly two millions
OF peoplsIin New York and Brooklyn who
need bread. The bread they get now Is
not easily digested, and when my bread is
put on the market every one OF these
people will want it. SupposIng a million
and a half of them eat a loaf a day, that's
100000 loaves a Gay; at nine cents a loaf
it makes exactly $l35,0OO a day. The
cost of making and delivering this quantity
of bread will be 100000 a day. leaving a
neat profit amounting in the course of a
year to over $4,000, 900. That's a good
enough profit to suit almost any body.
But how do you propose to introduce
your bread?' asked Dick Roche.
"Oh, that's easy enough" Jack an
swered.
I'm going to put currauts 10 it. Cur.
rants help to digest the bread, and my
idea will make a big hit. I'm going to
have some wagons made with big gold
signs on each side OF them. Eat McAu-
liffe's Bread. Oh. | tell you. it'll be a
great success.
"Well, I'd like to see YOU get along.
Jack" said Roche. tossing him a dime.
You may send me IN a loaf"
