How He Mused on the Monongahela When
Things Looked Blue.
In speaking of the opening game prelimi-
naries Wednesdays World said:
Manager James Mutrie will be the most
prominent figure in the ceremonies preliminary
to the game He will be arrayed in a brand
new suit and scrupuiously waxed mustache.
Last season was a blue one for Jim. Deserted
by his old players he rambled about with his
new team like ship without ballast. When
ever he met any OF the former champions
of the World" there would be wordy warfare
in which Mutrie no matter how blue he may
have felt would easily hold his own. One
moonlight night when both teams were play
ing in Pittsburg, Jim wandered down to the
Monongahela Hotel where his old players were
stopping. Instantly there was loud salvo of
welcome and Jim took a seat with the gang
outside the door. There were handshakings
and Jokes and laughter, and then somebody
said:
"Jim, why don't you bring your team down
here where they can watch the river flow and
see what water looks like?"
what river is it?' said Mutrie "the Monon-
Rahela2 1t looks like soup. thought 1t was

bathing every night, don't your You'll all be
In it next year"
Then Ed Crane sang:

the United States of immigrants from Euro
pean countries via the Dominion of Canaoa.
The Collector says that SO far he can learn,
no such immigrants have as yet arrived in his
district. but that there is reason to apprehend
that evasions of the immigration law may be
attempted later in the season when navigation
opens on the st. Lawrence river.
The collector encloses in his letter report
from Immigrant Inspector Henry, from which
he says it will be seen that there had arrived az
the Canadian Pacific station at Montreal dur
ing the ten DAYS prior to April II, thirty-three
car loads of European immigrants on steamers
from Halifax. OF these the collector says, in
the opinion of the customs inspector about
one-third were destined for Western points In
British Columbia. Many Of the latter, as In
years past, will sooner or later, find their way
across the border into the United states.

PHILIP M0EN'S DEATH
Recalls the Great Mystery Of His Re
lations With Doc Wilson,
ON WHOM he LAVISHED MONEY.
1t Is Doubtful Now il the Secret Ever
Becomes Known.
THE THEORIES THAT WERE ADVANCED
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,

BfEcTAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcHi
WORCESTER. MASS, April 23.-Philip
Louis Moen, President of the Washburn &
Moen Manufacturing Company, which con-
trolls the valuable barbed wire patents and
is the biggest wire-making establishment in
this country, died here to-day. He received
his early training ina hardware store in
New York, entered the employ of his father
in-law, Deacon Washburn, in 1847. and in
1850 be became partner in what has grown
to be one Of the biggest and most successful
business enterprises in the world. Deacon
Washburn died in 1870, and then Mr.. Moen
became the head of the concern.
The business has increased enormously
since the death of Deacon Washburn. The
big mills now employ about $500 men. OF
late the company has purchased a large
tract of land near Chicago, and is there
erecting great plant for the manufacture of
wire Tor the Western market.
Mr.. Moen's private life was apparently
perfectly blameless, yet there hangs over it
the shadow of great mystery, which, per-
haps. may never be dspelled. This mystery
concerned his relations with the notorious
DOC" Levi Wilson, which were. several years
ago, the topic Of discussion in all the news
papers of the country. The curiosity as to the
intimate relations which clearly existed be-
tween these Two men is as great now as it was
nine years ago. when it first became public.
There can hardly be imagined two men dlf.
fering more widely in their personal habits and
tastes. Mr.. Moen was polished gentleman in
appearance, aristocratic in his tastes, courtly
in his manner, noted for his philanthropy,
protesting and apparently consistent Christian
and business man of great wealth and in.
fuence. Wilson was illiterate, profans, licen-
tious in his habits and vulgar in his associa-
tions. Yet it is a fact that for no known cause
Mr.. Moen paid over to this man between $780,.
600 and S400 200 in the space of five six years
without any consideration SO far as the public
could ever find out.
Wilson used to make frequent trips to Wor-
cester. and Mr.. Moen always obeyed his sum-
mons At tiMes he showed bank books with
sums to his credit ranging from s40,000 to s60-
000 He spent money like prince. In 1885
Wilson entered suit against Mr.. Moen for $780,
900 in an action of contract. The result was
disagreement.
After the trial Wilson declared that he was
Mr.. Moen's illegtimate son. and that the latter
had paid him to keep the secret. This story
was accepted by many as the explanation Of
the mysterious hold he exercised over Mr.
Moen, but others, who pretended to know the
story of Wilson's birth, said there was no truth
TO the statement. 1t is doubtful if the truth
is ever known.

THE OVERTUREs NEGATIvED.
Reply of the St Louis Presbytery to the As
sembly Propositions.

sembly Propositions.
ST. LOUIS, April 23.-The st. Louis Presby-
terry to-day voted unanimously in favor of a
negative reply to the overtures from the Cen
, eral Assembly providing that one-third of the
presbyteries could compel the General Assem-
bly, to consider any question which they may
force upon it. The Presbytery also disapproved
the overtures concerning the method Of
amending the Confession of Faith.
AS to the overture to amend the form of gov
ernment, book of discipline and directory of
worship, the following objections are made:
First-1t makes an unjustihable discrimination
against the form of government, in that it re-
quires only majority vote Of the presbyteries
to amend or change il, while vote of two
thirds Of all the presbyteries is required to
amend the Confession of Faith. SecOnd-The
provision of section of the proposed amend
ment is, in our judgment, unwise and calculat-
ed to promote disturbance and unrest rather
than peace. Third-The overture is defective
in that section u, cnapter Is, which contains
the terms of subscription TO the Confession of
Faith may be amended or changed by a vote
of a majority of the presbyI cries. Fourth
We decidedly object to the taking out of Sec
tion u, chapter II of form of government,
which section limits the powers of the Assem-
bly, and secures the rights OF the presbyteries.

Sorry He Didn't Succeed.

Chief Brown was feeling badly last night
over the Governors veto to the policemen's
disability fund. He said he was anxious to se-
cure some legal method of pensioning men who
put IN the greater part of their lifetime IN such
dangerous service and to secure a method of
partially recompensing those who through
their zeal and bravery in preserving the peace
were disabled from earning living or support
ing their families.
