with Mr.. Howells, in which there waA
much good advice to young writers. l
felt a strong impulse to attack the sub
ject and, incidentally, Mr.. Howells.
This did not strike me as presumptuous.
If l wished to learn how it feels to be
run over by a moving machine, would
rather have few earnest words from a
man who is being chopped up than the
sober afterthought of much better
man who escaped with only the loss of
his overalls. Though the cares incident
to being a young writer have made me
older than my own father, while Mr..
Howells (who raised mustache before
I was born) is still in the vigor of youth,
am qualified, at least by the records
in the family Bible, to speak for the
boys.
But at this point comes the thought
already mentioned which I intend to
stick to because may not have another
in all summer. This is it: Who cares
for the young writer, anyhow? Or the
old one, either? Isn't the writer pretty
nearly the most embarrassing object on
the face of the earth? He cannot ap-
pear in his own work without violence
to his art, and, in my opinion, this same
judicious principle should apply to him
generally. His tolls and disappoint-
ments are not understood by the public,
and there is no need that they should
be. One of the cleverest young writers
I know has tried in vain to make his
landlady understand them; but she
would rather discuss the value of his
baggage as collateral security. Hence,
by the principle which enunciated in
the beginning, I should never have
written this letter, but shall finish it,
| just the same, for l need the money.
And this brings me naturally to my ad-
vice to young writers.
Training should begin at an early age.
One of the most successful young liter
airy men Of my acquaintance began at
the early age of six years to play mar
bles ''for keeps" At seven he pitched
! pennies, and though the other fellows
coin was often nearer the mark, ouI
young friend nearly always won be
cause he had a way of representing q
case which left nobody in it but him
self. His business ability attracted the
; attention of his father, who made al
honorable competency by trading
horses. The son soon surpassed the
father to such an extent that he spent
the last five years Of his minority in ;
reformatory institution, where he wa:
associated with several youths who haC
even better business heads than hi
own. In short, when he came to New

Great NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of Foreign
Missionaries.
SAN Francisco, July 19.-The steamer
City of Pekin has just arrived, bringing
China advices to June % and Japanese to
July 2 Accounts of terrible foundations
come from Fukushima Prefecture. In
cessant rain from the 25th to the 2Sth of
June has resulted in the flooding Of ten
districts, eighty-four people being killed
and many wounded; over 1000 houses
were inundated, forty-three houses de-
stroyed and many damaged. Nearly seven
hundred dredges were swept away. Eight
hundred acres of rice fields inundated and
1000 acres are under water.
From Marking the news comes that re-
ports of the capture of Chinese by foreign
missionaries, the gouging out of eyes, ETC.
are prevalent and are really believed by
all classes.
There is no open opposition to the
foreign missionaries, but the officials
place every obstruction in their way, and
it is suspected, secretly aid in the spread
ing of vile anti Christian literature, which
is mainly responsible for all the trouble.
The editor of the Japan Gazette" who
has examined some of these pamphlets
| says of them:
| their circulation these Human tracts will
be blot upon the Celestial Empire, which
ages will not efface."
At Shrinking and Ighang some myster
ious plague is carrying off thousands Of
people. General Lo Lo, who has charge
of the district, is out daily with his troops
firing volleys of blank cartridges to drive
off the demons of the air who are sup
posed to bring pestilence.
A few months ago the schooner Undine
| lowed by Crawford & Company, of Sal
| Francisco, sailed for the South Sea Island
in command of Captain Castelle. Tn
! vessels crew consisted of the captain ant
8 men. At Honolulu man who said h
was the mates brother joined the vessel
crew and when out three days from Homo
lulu, one of the brothers shot the captain
and supercargo. The crew were thel
poisoned with liquor, and made away with
except the steward, who was given a brib
of 81 900.
At one of the islands new crew O
natives was shipped and the schooner pre-
ceeded to Ascension Island. There tn
steward revealed the crime to the authori
ties, who arrested the murderers and sen
them to Manila.

The Pope's Columbus Encyclical.

ROME, July 19.-The Pope says, in an
encyclical regarding the 40Oth anniversary
of the discovery Of America, that few men
were comparable to Columbus in genius
and magnanimity of soul. The Pope Or
dams that mass shall be offered up to the
Holy Trinity in the churches of Spain,
Italy and America on the 18th of October
next, thus initiating the example of the
Supreme Pontiff when he learned of the
discovery of America. The bishops of
other countries than those mentioned are
invited to celebrate mass on the same

A writer who desires to win or to hold
the favor of the public and to pay his
board with reasonable regularity should
conflne himself to such themes as all
the people understand. Some OF my
great predecessors neglected this prin-
ciple and are now unable to afford any
thing better than plain granite monu-
ments, whereas l live in thirteen
story fat house with a front that looks
like Parian marble except where the

fHE MINORITY REPORT
Submitted in the Pension Office
Investigation.
MR.. RAuMs METHODS COMMENDED.

The Report Asserts That the Majority
Seemed Determined to Fasten Crime and
Corruption Upon the Comm issioner, and
Finally Sought to Do SO by Inference.
WASHINGTON, July 9.-Representative
Lind of Minnesota has submitted to the
House the views of the minority of the
Special Pension Office Inves tigating Com
mittee, which had in charge the investi-
cation of the Pension Bureau under the
management of Commissioner Raum.
The report asserts that the majority of
the committee seemed determined to fas-
ten crime and corruption upon the Com
missioner, but having utterly failed to do
so by evidence they as last resort sought
to do it by inference.
The report, after paying a glowing trib-
ute to the efficiency of the management
and business methods and reforms per-
fected in the Pension Office under Com
missioner Raum, states that while the
minority concur in some Of the recommen-
dations of the majority, others they might
have consented to in a modified form if
the minority had had an opportunity for a
comparison of views with the majority be-
fore the report found it's way into the
public press.
The report of the minority recommends
in lieu of the resolution adopted by the
majority of substitute to the effect that
the record in this case, as reported by the
committee, shows an efficient and econom-
ical administration of the business of the
Pension Office by the present Commits
sioner, and asks that the committee be
discharged from further investigation of
| the subject under the existing resolution.

And this is what l wish to impress
upon the mind of any youth who would

waste your time with KerPs common

agree with their subjects, if necessary.
The printer will afterward make them
disagree again, anyhow; that is, unless
you throw your work away upon the
irst-class publications. Don't wrestle
with the sequence of lenses. The proof
reader knows all about that, or, if he
doesn't, he will fix it to suit himself in
spite of you. Look for the markets,
my boy, for that's business, and let the
queens English take its chances be-
tween the case and the proofroom.

tell, young man that he should enter
the career of letters with no thought OF
money. He will never succeed in that

Day Exercises, May L.
Z CHICAGO, Oct. 31-Emilio CASTELAR,,
Spain's eloquent and distinguished Prime
Minister, will, in all probability, be the
orator on Ceremonial Day, May 1, next,
when the Worlds Columbian Exposition
opens it's gates to the world. This in
formation was given at the Worlds Fair
headquarters.
A formal invitation to deliver this
ceremonial grafton will be sent as soon
as the proper committee can meet and
take action. Strong hopes are enter
tanned that the distinguished Spaaiard
can be induced to come.
Senior Castelar, is an excellent English
scholar, SO that his Grafton will not be
hampered by limitation to his native
tongue.
Secretary Culp, of the committee on
ceremonies, is already planning out the
exercises to take place on May l. The
programme, as already outlined, contem-
plates only one Grafton and poem. No
one has yet been mentioned as the poet
laureate for that day.
AS to who will start the machinery in
operation nothing has yet been decided.
There is sentimental opinion prevailing
that some direct descendant of Columb bus
should touch the button.

Alexander FL. II. Stuart, when sec
rotary of the interior under President
Fillmore, was very much annoyed by a
persistent applicant for the post Of
messenger. The man came in regu-
1arly every day for several weeks, I'M
til he became an unbearable bore.
Finally, one day, after the man had
gone out, Stuart asked the messenger,
then in Office, if he knew what that
man was after. He said: "No, SIR"
''Well," said Stuart, che wants your
place, and if ever I see him again, he
shall have it." Stuart never saw the
man again.
One of the most remarkable blind
men of the century is John B. Heres

whose fast yachts have made him

senses that he carries in his mind per-
feet pictures of his graceful boats. He
is thoroughly familiar with the minute
details of building, and doubtless
better equipped mentally than he would
be could he see, such is the compensa-
ton furnished by nature for the defect
OF one sense by the strengthening of
the others.

Case--Hamburs and Cholera--Other
Late News by Cable.
BERLIN, Oct. 3l.-The speech of En-.
'eror William at the Wittenberg celebra-
zion to day is to be of a politic o-religiou>
nature. 1t will touch gingerly on the
relations of Church and State, and will
emphasize his opinion that evangelical
monarchs, notably of the House of Ro
henzollern, have always made the pro
lection of religious liberty and the tclera,
tion of heterodoxy one of the most con-
spicuous features of their domestic poll
cies.
Should the Emperor make the last
mentioned aVowal unequivocally, he will
discourage the Lutheran zea!ots who are
trying to drive Professor Harnack from
his chair of theology in the Berlin Univer-
sity, because he does not believe in the
immaculate Conception.
The city of Wittenberg has been dec
grated magnificently in honor of to-
days anniversary. Triumphal arches
have been erected at the Elster Thor and

TO-NIGHT'S FIGHT.
Choynski and Godfrey to Meet Before the
Coney Island Club.

NEW York, Oct 31.-Joe Choynski,
the big Californian, and George Godfrey,
the colored pugilist of Boston, will con-
tend for pugilistic supremacy to-
night before the Coney Island Athletic
Club.
The bout will probably be the greatest
that has yet occurred under the auspices
of the club between heavyweight fight
ers.
Both men are boxers of the hurricane
order. This is, perhaps more particular
ly characteristic of Choynski. His i'm
petuosity is something phenomenal.
Once aroused he seems to be perfectly in
Indifferent to the nature of the foe, or
his f1stic ability. He is a whirlwind Of
fensive fighter.
Godfrey figures amongst the cleverest
and quickest fighters of the day. He Is
wonderfully energetic and full of agility.
His recent tilt with Joe Lannon shows
this. Godfrey is well preserved and does
not look over 81. In action he is appar-
emily youth, so quick does he dodge a
swing, and upper cut, or a straight lead.
He has been very successful in his pugilis-
tic career, and but two defeats mark his
record.

Said the Immig grafton Laws Have Been
Evaded at Baltimore.

BALTlM Re-, Md, Oct. 31.-Rumors
have been received in shipping circles
here for some time that the immigration
laws were being evaded by bringing over
Storage" passengers in the cabins of
the ocean steamers.
The North German Llyod steamship
Stuttgart arrived i'll port Saturday from
Bremen, via New York, with Sc cabin
passengers. At New York the steamer
passed Quarantine with a clean bill of
health and 95 passengers were landed
The authorities at Cape Charles also
passed the steamer.
On arriving at Baltimore those of the
passengers who were American citizens
were allowed to land, but the fore igners,
AZ in number, were detained on an order
from Assistant Secretary Spaulding of
the Treasury Department. These pas
sengers forwarded a telegram to the au-
thorities protesting against their deten-
ton, reply to which they are anxiously
awaiting.
1t is thought that the action of the
Treasury officials is due to some informa-
tion received at the Department, and that
the passengers will be held pending an
investigation.
