A CHEsTNUT's HISTORY.

HOw . Story In Born Over and Over
Again with New Parents.
In It's obituary notice OF Mr.. Spurgeon
The Washington Post said that when
entering his church one Sunday he heard
young man say: ats q id hot day."
and that he made 1t the text Of power
fdl sermon against blasphemy. Where
upon correspondent of The Post shows
what an ancient and peripatetic old
rounder this story is. "In 1S4S," he says,
"the year before Mr.. Spurgeon entered
the pulpit as boy preacher / was the
Youngest apprentice in printing Office, the
foreman of which used to repeat a story
exactly identical with the above, except
that he laid 1t TO the charge OF a minister
who had labored and died in Erie, Penn,
years before, when the foreman was boy.
Twenty years later the story was revived,
with Henry Ward Beecher's name i'm It,.
AZ er IL had gone the rounds several years
in the face of explicit denials, mentioned
TO Mr.. Beecher my first acquaint-
ance with the story, under circum-
stances which carried it back to
a period before his birth. He smilingly
replied that he was tired of denying the
truth OF the story as applied to himself,
and felt compelled TO let il run. And
now that same cid lie comes to the sur
face again, with Mr.. Spurgeon as the
principal actor; II will never die. In the
dim future, when some dusky scholar
from Central Africa sits upon the crumb-
ling arches OF the Congressional Library
and views the ruins Of the Capitol, it will
still be in circulation, modified only by
inserting the name OF the latest renowned
preacher -

Lothrop's Providence Museum.

Two large audiences witnessed the
opening performances OF the emotional
drama East Lynne" at the Providence
Museum yesterday afternoon and even
ing, and wept and laughed by turns. As
regards the mounting of the play and its
performance, the presentation calls for
most favorable mention. The story of
East Lynne" is familiar one TO all
AT times realism is carried out to pain
full conclusion, and the feelings OF the
audience finds vent in expressions OF emo
tiop, but for all that the mate grandeur
of the idea conveyed by the plot obliter-
ates all feelings in the end save those OF
intense pleasure Miss Kate Glassford
had difficult task before her in playing
two such dissimilar parts as those OF the
unfortunate Lady Isabel aud Madame
Vine, but she went through the ordeal
triumphantly and once more proved her
claim to a high place in her pro-
fession. Her reception in the first
act was most cordial, and from
then until the dying scene, the audience
was always with her. AS the curtain
lowered on the affecting parting, so true
to nature did Miss Glassford picture it
that many in the large audience were
moved to tears. Mr.. Charles Barringer
appeared as the manly Archibald Carlyle
and enacted the part with his usual sue
cess and good taste. William Cattelle's
Sir Francis Levison was a powerful per
formance and remarkable for it's ease and
finish. Miss Estelle Keene's Barbara
Hare was portrayed in a natural and con
scientious manner, while Miss Evelyn
Knapp as Miss Corney was all that could
be desired. Lord Mount Severn, In the
hands of Joseph 4. Fannin, was presented
in a thoroughly artistic manner, and was
frequently applauded, while the Mr.. Dill
of Jere Grady received hearty recognition.
Little Lucille Barringer as the child
Willie, presented a remarkable piece of
acting for one of her years. The remain
ing parts were taken in a satisfactory
manner. EAST Lynne" will be given
afternoon and evening during the re-
mainder of the week.

ART IN NORWAY AND SWEDEN.
Miss Cecilia waern Tells OF 1t mt the Art
Club Rooms.

Miss Cecilia Waern of Sweden, gave an
interesting address in the Providence Art
Club rooms yesterday afternoon on The
National Arts of Norway and Sweden"
In substance Miss Waern spoke as fol-
lows: "In the selection of my subject |
thought that many would be interested
to hear something concerning topic on
which comparatively little Is known in
America.
"It is a curious fact that Norway is richer
IN art than Sweden. There has always
been great putting forth of energy.
From the very earliest times Norway has
showed decided love for art. This coun-
try has such beautiful scenery that an ar
tistic taste is more easily developed than
in some countries where Nature possesses
less grandeur. Dashing streams: beauii.
full valleys, meandering rivers and rugged
mountains furnish a landscape equal to
that of Switzerland. One would natural
ly expect that land so rich in beauty
would produce great artists. and this we
find to be the case. In some of the up
land valleys Of Norway there are many
curious little buildings piled up roof up
ON roof and gable upon gable without any
regularity whatever. These are the State
churches of Norway. Inside they are
strangely mysterious and gloomy. These
structures in wood are designed after the
stone edihces of England, and are consid
cred the height of artistic skill in wood
work.
Sweden also possesses wonderful land
scape. The scenery of Sweden has con-
-Beeted with it Il certain element which is
more conducive TO the development Of a
poetic taste than Of painting and sculp-
ture Sweden Is an old country and has
occupied a very important position among
the great Powers Of Europe. The land is
full of kings castles and noblemen's
dwellings. There are not as in Norway
the characteristic cottages of the peasant.
Many of the castles date from the 10th
century"
During the lecture Miss Waern dis
played a number of photographs showing
scenes in Norway and Sweden.

TURNER TURNED LOOSE.
NO EVIDENCE TO HOLD HIM UNDER
THE CHARGE OF NUDES.
The Case a Queer one from Beginning

The Case Queer One from Beginning
to End-A Matter OF Doubt as to
Who Furnished the Information
Which Led to Turner's Arrest-A
SEQUEL to the Case in the Arrest o.
Constable KartiRan.
! g. w. Turner who was arrested day be-
fore yesterday by Constable Hsrsigan on
warrant for murder s. worn out by him, was
given a preliminary examination before
Justice Endres yesterday and was dis
| charged.
The case was a very queer one. The
warrant specified neither time, place, man
uer of occurrence nor name OF victim, but
simply charged the crime upon general IN
formation.
AT the examination the only evidence
presented against Turner was that OF Paul
Wilken, who testified that a negro whose
name be did not remember, had come to
him a few days before aud stated that
Turner had killed a man up the country
somewhere. No other evidences was intro
duced and Justice Endres promptly dis
charged Turner.
Wilken. 1t will be remembered, is one OF
the saloonkeepers who were fined SloO BY
sHS AAoJSA 4AANo9 ltAOA AanS ASeS
secured by Turner. A sequel
to the arrest OF Turner was
the arrest of Constable Hsrttgan who made
the arrest on the charge Of interfering with
a policeman on duty. Officer Bossell, who
does a good deal of detective work himself,
made the charge Bossell charges Hartigan
With oursing and abusing him on the street
Hartigan says that he was only kidding"
Bossell about the Turner affair, and claims
that he is arrested because he had the
temsritY to swear OUT warrant against the
city's paid detective. Turner appeared
last night as witness before
council in the appealed cases of Wtlken and
Sulter Henry Groot, who was announced
as the informant upon whose information
Turner was arrested, SAYS be gave no in
formation to the officers and knew nothing
about the matter until Turner was in Gus
todY. Justice Endres stated night before
last that 1t was upon Mr.. Groot's informa-
ton that the warrant was issued. This Mr..
Groot denies.
There were no habeas corpus proceedings
in the case, as Mr.. Morrison. Turner's
lawyer, was satisfied that the preliminary
explanation Of his client before Justice
Endres would be the quickest way OF So
curing the release OF his client. Some doubt
was expressed yesterday by attorneys as to
whether the county commissioners were a
competent court to hear proceedings in q
haheas corpus case. 1t was thought that in
the absence OF the judge of the superior
court the ordinary was the proper Judicial
officer before whish to bring such proceeds
ings.

TIE RICE AL RIGHT.

The Crop Very Little Hurt and the
Grain Coming in Rapidly.
Rice has been coming in rapidly from the
plantations during the last ten days, aud
the receipts now have nearly reached those
of the same date last year. The general be-
lief is that the total receipts here will
greatly exceed those Of last year
Contrary to expectation the heavy rains
OF September resulted in very little damage
to the crop The chief loss from the rains
was in delaying the crop and making the
until it had dried out
Reports from the plantations are that the
work or harvesting is going on rapidly and
the whole crop win soon be laid down at
the mills.
The prices are lower now than at any
time since the war. Tho price of domestic
| rice is now below that OF foreign rice. The
sales have been very light at Savannah re-
Gently. New Orleans has been shipping in
rice here and selling 10 half cent less
than the local brokers were willing to take,
thus preventing local sales. About l. 400
barrels OF Louisiana rice was shipped in
here last week aud sold under the Savannah
| market price -~.- o.
The reason the New Orleans rice dealers
| could afford to do this was that the Louis.
lana planters suffered last month from two
weeks very bad weather, and all the rice in
the fields was thoroughly wet. They were
| afraid to keep this rice on hand, and so
mllled and sold it as rapidly as possible for
what they could get, the buyers takiag it
| on their own risk. On this &C count the
| buyers could afford to dispose of it below
the regular market price.

A MOVE TO RETRENCH.
FURPBNTINE oPER AFoRs PLAN
MING TO BETTER THEMSELVES.

A Reduction in the Price of Labor
and Pledge Not to Cut Any New
Boxes Two of the Plans Adopted by
tho Operators Convention = Other
Matters of Interest Discussed-The
Associations New Officers.
The turpentine operators general con-
ventiou adjourned last night at 1880
o'clock, after holding three sessions. Sew
enteen subassociations were represented by
seventy-fve delegates.
The convention met at noon yesterday at
Masonic hall. AS the organization is
strictly secret, no information was given
out except the election of officers, but
enough is known to warrant the statement
that the meeting decided on measures which
will make themselves apparent in few
weeks in the naval stores marker.
Reduction of the output and cheaper labor
were the important matters considered.
Last season ~ cents per box was
paid for cutting, and dippers received
SIS and $50 month. This year Is per
cent. less will be paid for labor by the oper-
ators and the output over last year will be
reduced one-third, or even more, il the keep
also said that an agreement was entered
into with the factors to keep the naval
stores business entirely ia the bands Of the
present operators by refusing to advance
means to newcomers to enter the field.
The operators claim that these steps are
absolutely necessary to keep the naval stores
business up to fairly profitable basis. For
years they have been paying high wages TO
their hands and turning out big crop
while the market steadily declined, and the
only thing left TO them to retrieve their
losses, they say, is retrenchment
all round and the preventing OF
further competition. The operators
claim to have no fears on the
labor question on account Of the reduced
wages. They say the supply is greater than
the demand in this respect.
The association will meet again on the
first Wednesday in March at Waycross.
The old officers were reelected. They are

Cleveland has made up with Fill and Tam
