The late Cardinal Manning was a
tall, gaunt man, with vigorous frame
and large head that was almost COM
pletely bald. He had face that bore
the impress of old Roman firnness, and
he looked like the picture of great
churchman of old. He was a teetotaler,,
unlike many of his predecessors, and
ate only enough to keep body and mind
in a healthy condition. There was abb
solutely no ostentation about him.
When he was made cardinal an infuen-.
tial member of his flock said to him: ''I
would like to see your eminence riding
in something better than that shabby
old brougham." "Ah!' replied the pre-
late, with twinkle in his eye, when
cardinals went about in fine carriages
they generally went to the devil!''

THE ROYAL NAVY.
Not Much Chance for Training in tho
Modern Ships.

NOT Much Cnance 1Or framing In the
Modern Ships.
The anonymous author of Life in
the Royal Navy" which has just been
printed in London, points out that "the
keen competition between ship and
ship in our squadron did much to re-
lieve sea life of it's ennui. During the
day we were busy making preparations
for any evolution that the admiral
might signal to be carried out in the
evening, so that when it came the work
was performed with much zest by all
hands. The tremendous desire to be
first was such as to lead to hazardous
running in and out and climbing on the
mast and yards. This splendid training
to keep men fit is now lost to us with
the large abolition of masts and yards,
and nothing of equal Importance has
been established to compensate for it.
Something has been done in the way of
physical drill and gymnastics, but there
is much room for improvement in the
same direction. The men should, in
my opinion, be granted greater facili-
ties for taking part in those exercises
on shore that are at present doing SO
much for the youth of the country"

A HOosier Hero.

FIT. WAYNE, Ind. March 14.-John
Miller, farmer residing few miles
south of this city, performed brave
act that is exciting much comment.
His spacious country residence was
discovered to be in flames Know
ing the imminent peril of his aged
mother and invalid daughter, who were
on the second floor of the burning
house, he dashed through the flames
and rescued them from immediate
death. But his heroism resulted in
serious, if not fatal, injury to his
daughter, who was burned. He was
badly burned himself, but the aged lady
fortunately escaped unharmed.

PRESERVES THE DEAD.
Missouri Earth II Better Than Any EN-

Missouri Earth Ia Better Than Any EN-
balming Fluid.
A most singular fact in relation to
the remarkable preservation of human
bodies inferred at Glenwood Springs,
Mo-, presumably by the chemical proper
ties OF the everything lime strata, has
just come to light. The old cemetery
In Glenwood Springs, says the Globe
Democrat, was abandoned some years
ago, when the town grew and enlarged
its limits 30 that the burying ground
became included therein, and q beauti-
full and romantic spot overlooking the
valley was chosen for the homes Of the
dead ON a mesa not far from the old
burial site. When, a comparatively
short time afterward, on account of the
rapid growth of the town, it was de-
cided to remove the remains of the pio-
neers from the old to the new cemetery,
but little attention was given the mat
ter beyond that shown by the local au-
thorities in seeing that the work of dis
interment was properly carried out,
which was left in charge of the sexton.
There were about thirty bodies to re-
move, and they were all in time inferred
in the new cemetery. The work was
done slowly, and scarcely anybody but
the sexton and his assistants were
present when grave was opened, and
when the remains were taken out they
were not disturbed but left inclosed in
the coffins, which were found in re-
markable state of preservation, consid-
ering the fact that they had been buried,
in many cases, from five to seven years.
This finally led to an inspection by the
sexton, out of mere curiosity, of one of
the bodies, and great was his surprise
to find the remains in the condition of
those that had only been inferred but
short time-that is before decompo-
sition had set in. The body was not
shrunken nor in any way changed, ap-
parently, from what it was when first
buried, but, on the contrary, the flesh
was soft, the limbs pliable, and the
features as natural as life. Many OF
the other bodies in fact all of those
that were exhumed after the condi-
ton of the one mentioned was discov-
cred, were found to be in the same ex-
traordinary state of preservation.

The late Tewfik Pasha, the Egyptian
khedive, lived in typical Oriental luxury,.
but even then he did not spend onet
hundredth part of the money which,
his father, Ismail Pasha, lavished
about him. Tewfils had four palaces,
all of them very be; utiful and ornates
and in each of them he was attended
in true royal state. Personally he was
pleasant and agreeable man. He all
ways wore the European dress, black
Prince Albert coat, with striped trous-
ers, but added the Turkish fez. On oci
casions of ceremony he wore the full
uniform of a general of the Egyptian
army, with his breast covered with gar
decorations.

Kissing Away a Church Debr.

"You may kiss me for twenty-five
cents" was the legend borne on six
cards suspended by six strings tied
around the necks of six pretty girls at
a church fair at Burns, Mich, one night
lately. When the curtain was drawn
displaying the aggregation of tempting
sweetness within the reach of all who
possessed the necessary quarter, there
was temporary, painful, blushing
pause, broken soon by resounding
smacks, giggling and the jingle of coin.
The show lasted only few minutes,
owing to the objections of some Of the
matrons present, but the church debt
was wiped out.

Build It Up. Says the Committee on Naval
AfIairs-A Bill Appropriating Over Three
Millions Dollars Recommended.
WASHINGTON, March lathe report
OF representative Herbert of Alabama,
chairman of the house committee on
naval affairs, accompanying the naval
appropriation bill, has been reported
to the house. The bill carries an ap-
preparation of S3, 46s. s16 less than the
estimates and 1854, S31 less than the
appropriation for the current fiscal
year.
Since July 1, 1891. nine of these old
vessels have been stricken from the
register, and still others will be retired,
but this not lctweep then and July,
1893 For some years past there have
been provisions in appropriation bills
that no money should be expended on
the hulls or on the boilers and mnchin-
cry of wooden ships. unless such re-
pairs could be made with less than 90
per cent of the original value of such
vessels or of such boilers and machin-
cry
The committee recommended that
this limitary amount be 10 per cent. :,
anu IldU IL Oe luTLuer prOVlueu JDaC no
new boilers shall be made for any
wooden vessels. The committee has
excepted from the operation Of these
| limitations, however, the Kearsage and
the Hartford, believing that as the old
Constitution has been kept alive as a
receiving ship and otherwise for now
nearly century since she was built
SO, in view of their historic services
the Hartford and Kcarsage should be
kept as patriotic memorials of the past.
| The committee believe that it should
be the settled policy of congress to au-
thorize the construction of one or more
new vessels at each regular session
until we shall have provided consid.
erably larger number of fighting ships
than we now have, or will have when
those authorized are completed. The
recent Chilian EN- broglio, during which,
a naval war seemed for time to be
quite a proba bility. developed the fact
that our people at large quite approve
of the policy in which we are engaged
of rehabilitating the navy.

THE KHEpIvIA.
A Woman Who Was the Sole wife OF the
Lata TeMak.


The foremost wife Of the late khedive
Of Egypt, formally known as the
khedivia, is worthy of considerable
notice. as being in advance both of her
race and her period, says the Cincin-
natl Enquirer. Her royal husband did
not by any means neglect his harem,
but more than any sovereign of his class
he elevated her above the common
throng Up to 1887 she had never seen
a man save the khedive, and the first
that she did see, save him, was pho
tographer. She was pretty, and she
wanted the world to know it. A little
later-in 1SS9-an American lady, who
had some considerable reputation as an
artist, was employed to paint her por-
trait. 1t is from this picture that current
representations of her face mostly come.
She made and insisted upon some start
ling departures from the habits of her
race, and yet they did not go so very
far She never received" with her
royal husband. When he gave ball
she could only look through the lat
tice. But she gave audience constantly
to women, talking French only and
exhibiting both charming manners and
bright mind. In 1889 she was de-
scribed by one who saw her as thirty
one years old and complaining that she
was 'getting fat and very old'-''a
pomegranatc face, still lovely enough
in a slightly heavy way, with liquid
brown eyes, u pretty, pouting mouth
and dimple in the chin-unmis-
takably, however, double chin"
zone sometimes met her with the whole
harem driving in close carriages out to
the desert. To contemplate the monu-
mental pyramids and to guess at the
riddle Of the sphinx? Dear, no! To
sit and eat bonbons, each out of her
embroidered bag" The portrait can be
seen in Cairo-"a rich, warm color
scheme of golden browns in the fur
edged velvet robe, with yellow lace in
side; pearls in the dark, braided hair;
a face that not infrequently suggests
the houri Of the Koran, and hand
which, though delicately formed, seems
more that Of a baby than an empress"

subcommittee on Judiciary today ee-
sumed hearing on the anti-option bill.
John B. Parsons of New York opposed
the bill. terming it unnecessary inter
ference by congress with the mercantile
interests of the country. Regarding the
so-called evil effects OF boards of taade
and exchanges, he asserted that al
though thousands of persons were proba-
bly, ruined every year by speculation,
that was no reason why these channels
of business should be interfered with by,
congress. Farmers today would be in a
miserable condition but for the exist
enee of boards of trade and exchanges.

in favor of the bill. He opposed both

THE RAUM INQUIRY.
Secretary Noble Narrates the Facts
About the Removal of Young Raum.

Secretary Noble Narrates the Facts
About the Removal of Young Raum.
WASHINGTON, Feb. &c. Secretary
Noble was examined today by special
committee appointed to investigate the
management of the pension Office. The
secretary narrated the facts, now we'll
known. in regard to the removal of
young Raum, son OF the commissioner.
He said he gave him time to find some
thing else to do before his resignation
would take effect. The secretary said
he asked for Raum's resignation upon
receiving the report of the civil service
commission upon his case.
The secretary was asked if opportun-
ity had been given young Raum to de-
fend himself from the charges made.
The secretary replied: "No, thought
the good of the service demanded that
he should go, and | sent him."
Enloe then asked the secretary about
fling charges against young Raum and
Howard and Engle, clerks in the pension
office, charging Raum with demanding
money from them. The secretary said
the commissioner declared that the
charges were circulated to injure him,
and filed counter charges for the re-
moval of these men and Special Exam
iner Taylor, who was suspected by the
commissioner of being connected with
the matter. The secretary said he
thought the charges about balanced each
other. Young Raum Yves out of the SER
vice, and he refused to remove Howard
and Engle. Taylor, he asked to resign,
because he (Noble) had previously come
to the conclusion that it would advance
the governments interests. Noble said
all removals were for cause.
The secretary was next asked about
re-rating, which occasioned much eexn-
ment. He said the responsibility orig
inally rested on Commissioner Black,
and when he found Commissioner Tan
ner proceeding to carry into effect his
predecessors rule to degree highly an
furious to the government, he promptly
stopped it. Re-ratings not for large
amounts each month, but as they Wen
back long time the aggregate was oen-
siderable.
Noble said he wished to say that so fal
as the efficiency of Commissioner Raem
was concerned, he thought he was run
ming the pension bureau with great eff
ciency.

Associated Press Dispatches
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-The free coin
age men of the house feel elated over
the action of last nights caucus in re-
fusing to consider any proposition for
the delay of free coinage legislation.
Harter and his friends contented them
selves today by simply announcing that
they will oppose the Bland bill by every
parliamentary tactic in their power
when it comes up in the house, and that
it will never pass the lower branch of
congress if the generosity of the Demo
cratic committee on rules has placed at
their disposal the parliamentary weap-
ons of obstruction necessary to tire out
and weary the friends of the measure by
weeks Of delay. The free coinage people
openly deride these pretensions, and
say the Democrats who oppose the free
coinage bill will, for the most part,
merely content themselves by recording
their votes against the bill.
Bland, Pierce and other leaders of free
coinage were today compiling and ar
ranging petitions to be presented to-
morrow to the committee on rules, ask
ing for day for the consideration of the
free coinage bill. These petitions con-
tain the signatures of all the friends of
free coinage.
Representative Pierce today said there
is no doubt that the rules committee
win report an order at an early day, and
the day will also be set when the final
vote will be taken. So far as the free
coinage men are concerned, he said they
did not want more than three or four
days. debate, certainly not more than a
week. Bland will insist, however, that
final action be taken when the bill
comes up.
I'VE will pass it through the house, I"
said Pearce, ''send it to the senate and
the responsibility will rest with that
body. The bill has clear majority of
forty votes in the house, so there is not
the slightest doubt of its passage. With
ten Republicans favorable to free cein-
age, there will be about 210 votes for
the bill. The remainder of the RepMb-
licans and thirty-fve or forty Democrats
will vote against the bill.''
Harter Of Ohio denies that he is dis
couraged with last nights cauoas,
which, he said, showed that the
strength of the craze was not as great
sae was at first supposed" and that
reason is asserting itself. 'sIf all classes
OF citizens throughout the country reach
their members Of congress here, with
protests against such measures, the ulsi-
zsaate defeat of the outrageous demands
of the silver people will be assured.
The passage of the Bland bill would dis
rupt the Democratic party as completely
as did the lavery question in 1860."

LAMARIEs6 LUCK.
All the Cases Against Him Fizgled for
Lack of Proof.

sMERcED, Call, Feb. 2O.--The grand
larceny case against Julian Lemarie
was finished in the superior court today
and much Indignation is manifested
over the result. Lamarie was accused
of stealing twenty eight, hogs from Miller
e. Lux, and the prosecution relied upon
Henry Miller to prove the ownership of
the hogs. Miller, whilea witness in a
former case, told the district attorney
not to subpoena him; that he would
appear whenever notified by telegraph
that he was wanted. He was notified
yesterday, but his only response was
that it would inconvenience his busi-
ness to come here. The prosecution
was compelled to rest, and the defense
submitted thecase without evidence or
argument. The Judge instructed the
jury to acquit the defendant.
