The New York Tribune disposes pretty
effectually of the claim that the increase
of milionaires in this country is due in
the main to protection. Having com
piled list of us American milionaires,
II shows that of that number only 1866
made their fortunes in protected indus
tries. These figures appear to be con-
elusive, and are worthy of the attention

Upon Kentish pony;
He stuck feather in his hat,
And called him macaronia,"
is almost the same rs one of those still
sung to the national air.
Besides this. an old English nursery
rhyme also claims the tune. and this
was great favorite with the little ones.
There was something altogether delight
ful in the rapid jingle;
"Lucy Lockett lost her pocket,
Kitty Fisher found it;
Not n bit of money in it,
Only binding round it.
Pockets in those days were bags put
ON out side of the dress, or this accident
could NOT have happened. Let Ms hope
that Miss lochctt was more careful after
this experience. and that she finally had
~ bit of money in it, too. The tune
used to be called "ki,ty Fishers Jig"
and this Kitty was real person and II
famous beauty in the reign of Charles
II.
II is much-disputcd tune, and has

The Wretch Condemned to Die on the

stoically-scathing Remarks
of the Judge.

LONDON, Oct. 21.-The jury in the
case of DIR. Neill, charged with poison
ing number of women, returned
verdict of guilty, being out only five
minutes. Neill was at once sentenced
to be hanged.
Before pronouncing sentence, Justice
Hawkins, commenting on the case, said:
"What actuated you to kill in that
cruel way, with go much torture, a
poor creature who had not offended you,
know not; but do know your cruelty
toward her and the crime you COM
mitted are OF unparalleled atrocity."
Neill displayed no emotion whatever
while the Judge was speaking, but his
eyes necessarily shifted from one place
to another.

An Argentine Province in a Serious
State OF Revolt.
LONDON, Oct. 21.-A dispatch to the
Times from Buenos Ayres, says the re-
volt in Santiago del Estero had it's origin
in band of 25 citizens, headed by Gar
cia, the leader of the last outbreak in
that city. They made an attack on the
city hall, which was defended by troops.
The latter fought desperately for an
hour, but the attacking forces compelled
them to surrender. The loss on both
sides was five killed and nine wounded.
The governor and vice-governor were
captured by the rebels.
According to one authority, the out
break is merely q mutiny among the
soldiers in the barracks at Santiago.
The Times correspondent denies this,
however. He says the result ia we'll
matured plan to oust the provincial
government. The city is quiet, but en-
thusiasm prevails among the people at
the success OF the rebels.

RUss1A's VERSION.
Facts Concerning the Seizure Of British
Sealers.

Facts Concerning the Seizure Of British
Sealers.
Er. PETERSBURG, Oct. 2l.-The Official
Messenger published today the first au-
thoritative version of the Russian cap
ture OF sealing vessels in the Pacific
ocean. 1t says six vessels were seized at
points 18 to 20 miles from the Russian
coast, not from 80 to 40 miles, as assert
ed. The captures were nearly all made
outside the territorial water boundary.
This is explained by the fact that the
sealers, seeing Russian cruisers ap-
preaching, fed and the cruisers chased
them. Only vessels proved to have been
sealing in Russian waters were seized.
The conduct of the Russian officers is
blameless. The British flag was not in
suited the crews of the captured YES
sells were we'll treated, but when they
became quarrelsome and insulred Rus
sian officers, order had to be restored by
force of arms.

THE COMING ORPHANS FAIR
A Social Event in the Interests Of q NO
Bile Charity.

A Social Event In the Interests OF No
Bile Charity.
The first structure Of any size that
meets the eye OF the eastern visitor on
entering this city is that stately pile of
brick overlooking this beautiful valley
the Los Angeles Orphan asylum. This
institution, as its name implies, is a
home for the friendless little ones whom
death has deprived OF their natural guar
dian. The building, which is four
stories high, was completed in 1891, and
has been occupied little over year.
Owing to the increase in the number OF
applicants for admission, it was found
necessary to remove from the premises
previously occupied on Macy street to
this beautiful new home, which contains
at present between 300 and 400 inmates.
In this gigantic undertaking the good
sisters have assumed obligations which
the generous hearted people of Los An
geles and vicinity are now called upon to
assist in wiping out. The sole aim in
life of these noble women is the care and
training of their youthful wards. That
this task is well performed, is evidenced
by the innumerable institutions of like
character throughout the land. Chill
dren are received here irrespective of
creed or nationality.
One of the main sources OF revenue is
the yearly fair, about to be held at Ar
mory hall, commencing Monday next,
and continuing during the week. The
numerous charitably inclined lady
friends of this noble cause have been
working increasingly to make this fair
financial success. The books will be
filed with many beautiful articles, both
useful and ornamental, that have been
generously donated. A rare musical
treat is in store for the visitors on Mon
day evening, as many prominent artists
have kindly consented to take part on
this occasion. An elegant lunch will be
served daily from IL till g. Season tick
ct, 81; single admission, 25 cents.

A GEEAT MISTAKE.

BERLIN, Oct. 21.-The Vossische Zei-

prevails in Samoa, and says that Ger
many is convinced that the Samoan
convention was great mistake. Great
Britain, the United States and Ger
many are all agreed that the present cit

ton must be amended. Pending this,
the paper recommends the construction
