AN ADDRESS ON JAPAN.
A Returned Missionary Talks About the
Women of That Country.

Returned Missionary Talks About the
Women of That Country.
1.-THE Women of Japan" was the subject
of an interesting address delivered last
evening in Grace Reformed Church by Mrs.
Rev. J. P. Moore, who has labored as a
missionary in the Orient for the past eight
years. Rev. John H. Prugh, pastor of the
church, introduced her, briefly referring to
the good work accomplished by Christian
people in heather lands
Mrs. Moore appeared in royal robe pre-
sented to her by the wife of q Japanese
nobleman. She spoke very entertainingly
of the condition of women in Japan as COM
pared from an American standpoint, giving
an epitomized description of the Japanese
female from infancy to old age. Particular
attention was directed to the exaggerated
statements made BY many writer's in regard
to the beauty of the Japanese girls.
The marriage customs, in their many
ramifeations from betrothsl to nuptial ac-
ceptation or rejectment, the plurality of
wives, the bitter serfdom of the mother
all were intelligently commented upon BY
the speaker and commanded the eager at
tention of the audience. But the Christian
missionaries were accomplishing wonderful
work in that country, educational influences
were slowly emancipating the women from
their apparent inferiority and elevating
them to the standard of equality, to the
eminence heretofore held only by the JAP
apese man.

MAINE Is ALL RIGHT.
The Entire Republican State Ticket
Elected as Usual, but With
REDUCED MAJoRITIES.

HILL AT LAST PROMISES TO SPEAK

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.1
BANGOR, Me, Sept. 1.-THE Australian
voting system was used for the first time in
Maine at the State election to-day, and
while the new method met with
general approval while the bal
loting was going on, it comes
in for much adverse criticism tonight, on
account of the great delay in counting the
vote, and for the further reason that,
simple as the method appears, great many
ballots must be thrown out as defective.
As compared with 1888, the vote is light,
and it appears from the returns thus far
received that the falling off in the Re
publican vote is much greater than that
in the Democratic. The first 27 towns
and cities reported give Cleaves, Republic
can, for Governor, 5,770, and johnson, Dem
ocrat, 4,081 The same places in 1890 gave
Burleigh, Republican, 6,979, and ThomP-
son, Democrat, 5,022, showing net Repub-
lican loss this year of 1,26S and decrease
in plurality of Is per cent.
A Great Failing on in the Vote.
The vote of the principal cities is likely
to still further reduce the Republican plur-
ality. In 1890, Burleigh, Republican, had
u VI 1O,oOJ OHo huAuiSu ohN
sixty towns give Cleaves 1,617; johnson,
%, 7S0; Hussey, 61S; scattering, 675. Plur-
ality ., $685. rgainst 8, ,491 in 1890.
The indications point to the election OF
all four Republican Congressman, by some
what reduced majorities, and the usual Re-
publican majority of the Legislature. The
Republicans generally hold their own on the
county tickets, although in some instances,
notably in the election of sheriff in Cumber-
land county, there are close contests. The
Democrats may elect candidates here and
there for minor Offices, where the Republi-
cans have usually succeeded, but as rule
it is the old story of Republican success,
with slightly reduced majorities
Tom Reeds Plurality About 1000.
Scattering returns from the several coun-
ties of the Second Congressional district
show the reelection of Dingley, Re
publican, by between 5000 and 1000
plurality over Magillicuddy, Democrat
Dingley runs ahead of his ticket and
Mag gillicuddy behind. Indications are that
Reed will have 1000 plurality in the First
Congressional district. The following dis
patch explains itself:
AUGUSTA, Me, Sept. Il, 1892.
Ron Thomas H. Carter. Chairman National
Republican Committee. 6lS Filth avenue,
New York:
The total vote will be 1900 less than in
1888. We elect all four Congressman, carry
"A OF the l6 counties, have two-thirds OF the
members OF the Legislature, and elect our
Governor by 1LO00 majority over the Demo
cratic candidate. j. Ii. MANLEY.

THEY MADE MONEY,

The solti rs Orphans Legislation Investi-
Profits We're Made Out of the Schools
Charges of Cruelty Denied-A vindication
Worked For.
HARRISBURG, Sept 12-[Speeial ]-At
the meeting of the Soldiers Orphans
Investigating Committee of the Legislature,
this afternoon, ex-senator George W.
Wright, connected with the syndicate for
many years, admitted the correctness of
figures published showing large profits,
but denied the truth of charges of cruel
treatment of children in the schools con-
trolled by the syndicate. The agreements
printed, he declared, must have been given
out by ex-Congressman S. II. Miller, of
Mercer, his former attorney, and with
whom he now has lawsuit Mr.. Miller,
he added, sent messenger to him after the
original publication, alleging gross mis-
management in the schools, and promising
Mr.. Wright there would be no further
trouble if he were paid $4,000 for his
services
Witness said he declined this proposition
and intimated that Miller retaliated by ex-
posing the business of the syndicate.
Senator Goblin, who represents Mr..
Wright, offered to call a number of ex-
pupils and teachers of the schools who were
willing to testify that the schools controlled
by the syndicate were properly managed
and that the scholars were we'll cared for.
Senator Grady said the committee had no
right to investigate the management of the
schools. 1t was to investigate the accounts
between the syndicate and the schools.
The purpose of his proposition, General
Goblin declared, was more to vindicate the
pupils, teachers and managers of the syndi-
cate schools than his client, and insisted
that the charges made from time to time
were groundless. The matter was then
postponed until tomorrow.

DEMANDS OF coL0RED MEN.

Jerseys Electoral Ticket.
TRENTON, N. J. Sept. 1.-THE colored
Republican voters of New Jersey held a
convention here to-day for the purpose Of
taking decisive steps in the coming cam
paign. The call was for noon, but
owing to fights among rival delegations it
was 1:4O o'clock before the convention was
called to order. Colonel William Murrell,
of Jersey City, who wields the power
in the convention, endeavored to
secure the position of Chairman,
but the State Central Committee
secured the Temporary Chairman, and he
ruled that one delegate from each county
should vote for Chairman.
A wild time ensued and tie police had to
be called. Robinson was finally elected
Chairman. Nothing of Importance ex-
cepting the permanent organization
was done until after 6 o'clock,
when a committee was appointed to
draw set of resolutions demanding recog-
milton at the hands of the Republican party.
They ask that colored man be placed on
the State Committee or electoral ticket.

4 Parrot That Was Fond OF Speaking In
Rhyme a. n &c.,.
Prof. c. l. Morgan, in his recent
work, "Animal Life and Intelligence"
says chat the talking of parrots gives
MS evidence Of remarkable powers of
memory, an almost unique power of
articulation, great faculty OF imita-
ton, and some intelligence in the asso-
citation of certain linked sounds which
we call phrases with certain objects or
actions.'' - II - =.
As showing that parrots do not always
talk at random, the author quotes an
interesting account of an African bird
belonging to an English lady. -
At dinner, when he saw the vegetable
dishes, he generally said: ''Polly wants
potnto;" at tea he would say: ''Polly
wants cake or "Polly's sop" or "Pol-
ly's toast" sa... a -r .. .
He was sometimes at the house of hi
owners grandmother, which was near
the railway station. At such times he
wonldnnnounce, almost before the fhmi-
1y could hear anything: "Grandmamma,
the train il coming" and presently the
train would go by. " =,
Polly had learned mach poetry, and
sometimes made new poems, Us it were,
by putting together lines taken from
different authorsi and it was remark
nblc that he always got the true rhyme.
One of his favorite mixtures was: "Sing

GAINESVILLE TOBACCO MARKET.
Monthly Report of e. M. Flack, Leaf To-
bacco Broker.

The market during the month OF
May was very active and sales large,
footing up $685. hogsheads for the
month, against 1921 for the month
of April. Receipts were also very
heavy, showing gain over the pre-
ceding month which was not expec-
ted. The crop of 1891 begins to look
larger than the crop of 1890.
Prices during the month ruled
firm for all desirable grades of leaf
and Jugs, Bremen styles of leaf and
heavy Tugs suitable for snuff showing
greater strength. The mania for
"Nubbins" noted in my last report
continues undated, and to-day we
see this grade higher than for many
days past. II it should continue dur
ing the season, no shorts will be
found in the corners OF the next crop.
There has been no time during the
past month that plants could not be
set out, and farmers availed them
selves of the opportunity and have
planted about three-iourths of the in
tended crop. The preparation was
the poorest ever known. Not one
half the land ever had a hill made.
The result can not be foretold, but
those who were educated to believe
it required careful preparation and
close cultivation with the hoe will be
slow to accept such methods. The
effort seems to be for quantity and
not quality, and il 1t will grow and
yield pounds, it is all the average

I'm its convention at Chicago the
Democratic party must take def

Any attempt at double-dealing in the
platform as it treats of the currency
would be a fatal error" This is very

views expressed by the LEAF

two years.
