Democratic papers have
transferred the seat of war from
Chill to the White House, and
would make the people believe if
possible that the belligerent par
ties are President Harrison and
Secretary Blaine.
The rumor that Minister
Egan is very unpopular in Chill
has been exploded as hoax. A
dispatch from Valparaiso We'd
nesdsy ful nishes good evidence
that Pat Egsn is about the big
gest man in Chill
We have al Arnold in
Missouri. He is the fellow who
introduced resolution In the
House the other day, requesting
the recall of Minister Egan. Have
we ever heard of the name Arnold
before? Let US see. o yes; it Is
the name that has been connected
with disloyslty II treason since
the foundation of our government.
Arnold ought to go and soak his
head.

Democratic leaders do not like it
That is why the Republicans dc
like it in all that it has done in g
Legislative way, and for the main,
tensnce of the honor of the coun,

says that, if no one drafts and IN,
troduces resolutions indorsing the
administration, he will. There
can be noresolutions fsvoring any
presidential candidate for the sue
cession, or for any place, as the
rules and constitution of the
League do not permit it.

ra.hion,. Rule. on rim Avenue.

There is a chilling atmosphere about
sristocratic Fifth avenue on Sunday
afternoon hat can be felt in no other
section of the city. You may walk from
the Brunswick to Central Park and not
see half a dozen faces behind the plate
glass. An hour or two before you would
have seen the walks lined with all swell
dom and the street full of the handsome
carriages of the returning churchgoers.
In the afternoon and for the rest of the
day swefldom maintains a strict OBJ
security.
1t is the fashion not to be seen, and
fashion is as relentless on Sunday as on
other days. The curtains are not drawn
there is simply nobody there. Not
even a servant girls white capped head
is visible. Not even the sunny faces of
childhood break the monotony of rich
vacuity. For any apparent sign of its
these miles of brownstone are deserted.
You and other strangers nave the walks
all to yourselves. The public stages are
withdrawn. But for the rolling wheels
of hotel and livery hacks that cart visi-
tors to and from the park you might
shut your eyes and fancy yourself in
some silent cemetery.-New York Her

Ohrwalder established n mission at Jebel
Delen. to the south of Kordofan. All these
missionaries were captured during the
Mahdi wal and it was supposed they were
murdered, but Father Bonomi escaped in
1886, and now Father Ohrwalder and two
IN have reached civilization after horri-
su~fferings and by means which seem
less than miraculous.
Mc rigneur Sogaro, believing them still
alive, struck n bargain with a friendly
sheik, Ahmed Hassan, to attempt their
rescue, the price being R100 for each Eu-
ropean brought alive to Cairo. Ahmed
Hassan, disguised as a merchant, reached
the mahdi's capital, and after a long course
of intrigue gained access to the captives.
They had been logged and mutilated, one
of the nuns having her nose slit. All the
captives accepted Mob" "amedanism to es-
cape further tortures, ID the three nuns
were compelled to marry three Greeks, who
had also turned Mohammedans.
Thanks to the delicacy or religion of
these men the marriages were mere formal
tiles, but the two surviving nuns enjoyed
some degree of liberty, and on the night of
Nov. 90 last the party made their escape in
disguise. The priest was dressed as a der
wish; Ahmed Hassan Travelled as a slave
dealer. the two nuns and a negro girl pass
ing for his slaves. Two faithful Arabs &C
companied them. Once they were recog-
nized by a camel driver, but Ahmed Has
san bribed him to silence at a cost of 60 for
each of the party. After many adventures
and hardships they reached the dominions
of a chief friendly to Ahmed Hassan, and
by his connivance reached Murad, the most
advanced post of the Anglo Egyptian occu-
patton.
Father Ohrwalder is a Tyrolean, forty
years old. The sisters, Catherine Chin
carini and Elisa Venturini, are natives of
Verona. They report. the slave trade as
very active. Ablebodied men sell at the
mahdi's capi for e5, boys for el to 81
los. and won. suitable for domestic serv-
ice at "a on average Hansome young
women from twelve to sixteen years old
sell much h er. 1t adds not a little to
the interest earn that the mahdi was
killed by one these slave girls. Father

Teachers In Germany.

The place which the teacher has made
for himself in the educational system of
Germany is certainly most impressive.
This place of responsibility and influence
is not newly acquired. 1t is an inherit
ance from the past; a transmission of
powers won by the courage, zeal and in
tellectual strength of the teachers of
three centuries. Beginning with the
reformation-the time from which the
present school system of Germany dates
the teacher has filed a prominent
place in all educational reforms.
Witness the work of Luther, Erasmus
and Melancthon, of ~Trotzendorf, Wolf
and Sturm, of Ratich, Comenius and
Pestalozzi, and of a host of others, not
only in promulgating new PHILOSOPHERS
and methods of teaching, but in putting
into practice new courses of study, in
calling out for education the active in
terest of princes and people and, wher-
aver it was necessary, in shaping legisla-
ton relating to education both high and
low.-Educational Review.

he recovered RAJ 'dly. He is thirty years
old, six feet high and quite an athlete.
Certainly there are few instances OF such a
face to face struggle with death and such
marvellous deliverance.
Chicago's good people nave also had their
sympathy powerfully excited on behalf OF
Katie Smith, a nine-year-old girl who was
so badly burned that both her arms had to
be amputated just above the elbows. 1t
was stated Mt the time that her father was
drunk and pushed her on the red hot stove;
but this. fortunately for the honor of hui
manity, proved to be false. Interest in hen
was heightened by her bright and winning
ways and cheerfulness under affliction. A
handsome sum was contributed for her,
she has a permanent home secured by the
Children's Home society, n it Is a pleas
ure to add that her face was not married in
any way by the burning.
Another peril Of civilization is the live
wire" and Kirk Dawson, of Louisville, is
a recent victim He was employed at the
power house OF the Electric Light com.
pany, and went into the upper part OF the
building to wire a switch. Some minutes
later another workman entered the room,
and seeing Dawson motionless on the lad

and as he walked under the latter blood
dripped on his hand Fastening up he
seized Dawson, one Of whose hands grasped
a 'live wire" while the other held to the
ladder with the grip OF death. The finger
tips Of the ham on the wire were com plete-
ly burned off.
With a desperate wrench his companion
pulled Dawson loose and tried to carry him
down, but he was too heavy. The work
man slipped and Dawson fell twelve feet
or more to the floor. The physicians re-
stored the sufferer to consciousness. and at
last ccounts he still lived. but with faint
hopes OF recovery.
From UGH affairs It is almost n relief to
turn to the perils OF barbarism, and the
Soudan furnishes its usual supply OF hor-
rors. Readers will recall some Of the Incl
dents Of horror. especially tho massacre
and destruction connected with the slave
trade and the murders OF missionaries.

Freda Ward had arranged to go to st.
Louis and be married 1t has t~ranspired
hat she wrote to learn II two women could
be legally married there. Ridicule, argu-
ment and expostulation were in vain. Her
letters to Freda contain the most passion
ate expressions. 1t is charged hat she
confided to Lille Johnson her intention to
kill Fredn Ward eff she broke their en-
gagement.
Miss johnson is also in Jail, charged
with being an accessory. She does not
deny that Alice said many wild and threat
ening things to her, but she treated them
with ridicule. Deep sympathy is expressed
for Lille, but her friends think it best that
she should have a trial and be honorably
acquitted. General Wright, attorney for
Alice Mitchell, says, ''The trial will be a
horrible affair, but the evidence of unnat
ural erotic frenzy will have to be brought
out" The murderess shows no contri-
ton, and when questioned only murmurs,
~ loved her so ! had to kill her"

Knapp then said that he had a few words
to address to the grand jury, and proceeded
to call attention to the charges often made
that bookmakers, gamblers and violators
of the Sabbath received the protection Of
the Hudson county grand jury. The sys-
tenn of grand juries, he concluded, was In
stituted to punish crime. At the close he
handed to the foreman Of the jury the
paper in the case of a theater manager &C.
cused of Sabbath breaking, and imme-
diately gasped and fell back in his chair.
He was assisted from the bench and in ten
minutes was dead.
Justice Knapp was a native of Bergen
county, N. j., and was sixty-nine years
old. He had been on the bench since 1875.

Venice is a cheap city, especially if you
dine with the people in the fish kitchens
of the Street of the Smiths. There you
get a slice of smoking polenta as broad
as a gondolier's palm and somewhat
thicker for a penny. Another penny
will, if fish be abundant, as it generally
is, buy a plateful of very palatable fry.
Add to this a third penny for half a
liter of wine, and the bill is told.
There is no doubling the nutrition in
such a meal. The faces of the clients of
the shops in the Street of the Smiths are
plump and hearty, and the clients them
selves are not famishingly inpatient to
be served when there is a crush, as there
often is of an evening, when such work
rs Venice does is mostly at an end.-All

ratirus of Metals.

Tho question as to the fatigue Of
metals under long continued stress has
been tested and, it is believed, satisfac
torily settled, in the treatment of two
similar suspension bridge links and the
results obtained. A square iron link 10
inches wide, / inch thick and about IL
feet long was taken from a bridge at
Kieff, Russia, her about forty years old,
and tested against a similar link which
had lain unused in store ever since the
building of the bridge. Under these
circumstances the means of comparison
were considered in the highest degree
favorable, and the result necessarily Of
q reliable character in determining
whether or not iron actually loses, and
10 what extent, any of its strength in pro-
longed service.
The effect of the test showed for the
old used link an ultimate tensile strength
of Ills tons per square inch, IN elastic
limit of ILL ton per square inch, an
dongation of 14.5 per cent, and a con-
traction of 17.35 per cent. at the point of
fracture. In the case of the unused link,
the tensile strength was found to be 22.2
tons per square inch, with an elastic
limit of lis tons, and an elongation and
contraction at fracture of 1912 per cent
and 1875 per cent, respectively. From
this it appears, therefore, that the two
pieces of iron were of practically identi-
cal strength-the small difference actual
ly observed being well within the ordi-
nary range of variability of similar pieces
of such metal.-New York Sun.
