Rapid Progress Made by That Party In
the Past Few Years.
BERLIN, Nov. 16.-At the Socialist con-
gress yesterday Herr Singer, who was
elected president of the party, made a
speech in which he referred to the rapid
progress of the party. AT its first meet
ing, held % years ago, the contributions
reached the total OF $40 thalers. The re-
ceipts now amounted to 250, 900 thalers.
Herr Singer welcomed the foreign del
egates and concluded his speech by calling
for three cheers for international social
ism, which were given with a
will. Herr Fischer, the secretary, in his
report, stated that the work done since
the last meeting had enlarged the active
propaganda of the party.
Herr Bebet, in accounting for the man
agement OF the Vorwarts, was compelled
to defend himself from the charge OF pay
ing excessive salaries to the editors of
that paper. He declared that as employees
of the Socialist party, these editors had
the same right as other workers TO obtain
the best possible conditions OF living.
Herr Bebet opposed the foundation OF
new Socialist journals or associations.
He urged, on financial grounds, that the
kinds OF advertisements received by the
socialist organs should not be greatly re-
stricted

A Portion Purchased by n Haverhill Man,
and VIII be Presented to that City.
HAvERHrLL, Mass, Nov. 16.-Yesterday
afternoon James II. Carleton, one OF Ha-
verhill's wealthy citizens, purchased a
portion of the Whittier homestead in East
Parish. The purchase includes the house
and land around 1t, also the barr.
and other buildings on the opposite side
OF the road and several acres Of land be-
side, from the owner, George Elliott.
The farm is large and the larger portion
Is still retained by Mr.. Elliott. The farm
was sold to the late James Chase by the
Whittier family about 1887, and later was
purchased by the late Samuel G. Elliott,
and by him sold TO his brother George.
IL Is understood that Mr.. Carleton will
present the homestead to the city Of Ha-
verhill with such conditions as will cause
II to remain memorial OF John Greenleaf
Whittier forever.
About one year ago, an unsuccessful at
tempt was made to purchase the place In
the interest OF the Whittier Club, with a
view Of its being held az memorial. Mr..
whittier was pleased with the idea and
remarked that IL must be done soon II at
all In his day. The wish OF the friends of
the poet will now be gratified in the
establishment of perpetual memorial of
him.

ARTISTS QUARREL.
The Berlin Society OF Artists Broken M

The Berlin Society Of Artists Broken up
by a Dispute over u Swedish Painter.
BERLIN, Nov. 16.-A divergence of opin-
ion regarding the exhibition of the work
OF the Swedish painter Munich has caused
the disruption of the Berlin Society OF
Artists. A number of members OF the So
ciety had announced Munch's paintings
as worthless as works of art, declared that
the exhibition should never have been
opened, and insisted upon its being closed
forthwith. Other members were equally
persistent in upholding the merits OF the
Swedish painters productions, and would
not listen to any proposal to close the ex-
hibition before the date originally named.
Matters became serious, and a special
meeting was called yesterday to decide
whether the show should continue, or 20.
At the meeting 1t was decided TO close the
exhibition, by a vote OF 20 to 105. A scene
of excitement followed, and the action of
the majority was vehemently denounced
by the admirers OF the Swede's work. As
result OF the trouble over Munchs ex-
hibition 1t has been resolved to found q
new society.

Three More Fires Set and Two Suspects
Under Arrest.
NEwBuRYPoRT, Mass, Nov. 16.-After a
week or tmore, Newburyport's incendi-
ary started in again last evening and
made three attempts to set fires in ward
8, on the premises OF Mrs. Ellen Lyons, j..
ID. Duggan and Mrs. Mary Harrington.
Fortunately, all the blazes were discover
ed in season to be extinguished without
an alarm. A liberal supply Of kerosene
had been used at all the places.
Most of the incendiary fires have been
within radius OF half q mile, and the
suspicious OF the police have been direct
ed toward gang Of hoodlums residing
in the locality, who have been familiarly
known as the "Russian band"
After the fires last night City Marshal
Emerson, with posse OF officers and
Chief Engineer Reed, made thorough in
vestigation, and, coupling wnat they then
learned with information which they had
previously obtained, arrested, at an early
hour this morning, Matthew Haley and
champagne" or Daniel Kelleher, on sus-
picion of having set the fires. Both men
were sound asleep,and were quickly taken
TO the station. The police authorities are
confident that the guilty parties are now
in custody.

A DARING FORGER.

Mason y. HelmboId Sentenced TO Ono
Years imprisonment In London.
PHHADELPHIA, Nov. 16.-The real name
OF Frederick Evans, alias "The Duke OF
Trent" sentenced in London TO one year s
imprisonment for intent to defraud, is
Mason p. Helmbold. He is the second son
of DIR. ii. Il. Helmbold, OF "Buchu" fame,
who achieved world reputation by
his daring advertising met hods.
Young Helmbold has served time in a
New York state prison for forgery and
has also been incarcerated at Vienna for a
like offence. He was formerly literally
supplied with money by bis father, but
when reverses came, he took to swindling
a. means of obtaining funds.
His usual method was To make the ac-
quaintance OF a business man, and to OBJ
tain one OF the latter's blank checks upon
the pretext that he admired it's form. The
check would in time come back to the
amount the swindler thought his victims
bank account would stand and signed
with remarkable -simile Of the latter's
handwriting.
Helmbold must have swindled many
people in this way, but very few OF his
victims made public complaint. He is be-
tween thirty and thirty-five years old and
quite deaf. He is finely educated and of
good address. He has written poems and
books OF travel, his three volumes of poet
ry showing merit of high order. lie has
always been odd in his manner, but there
is little reason to believe that he is not OF
sound mind.
His father, once millionaire, is now in
an insane asylum at Trenton, poor and al
most forgotten. His mother resides at
Long Branch, and his two brothers are
respectable and prosperous business men.
