Nn,u Years Calling.

Next Monday, which will be observ-
ed as New Years Day, will tell the tale
AS to whether the time-honorcd usages
of the first day of the year are or are
not to be observed in Baltimore as IN
the past. The News of that city says:
For several years the day in this city
has gradually come TO be looked upon
as n back number instead ola new and
fresh edition, and the transition from
receiving callers to hanging the ribbon
bcdccked card basket on the front door
knob has been rapid and marked.
Last year even the traditional basket
was dropped, so few and far between
were the callers, and this year it is prob
able that beyond recognition OF the
day as legal holiday, the good, old
fashioned custom Of house-to-house
calling will be conspicuous By its alb
sence.
The habit of celebrating the first day
of the year is a very ancient one and
appears to have prevailed among the
Jews, Egyptians, Chinese, Romans and
Mohammedans.
These nations and sects all varied as
to their manner OF observing New ears
Day. the differences in their respective
calendars regulating the form OF OBJ
servance somewhat But with all it
was q day of leasting and of prayer.
Presents were also exchanged for many
centuries, though this custom has now
become obsolete.
In some cities the church bells ring in
the New Year, while some religious de-
nominations pray the New Year i'll.
The day is holiday of strict obligation
in the Roman Catholic Church.
The custom of calling, which, when
Baltimore was justly called the Social
Athens of America" prevailed her.
universally on New Years Day, go.e
rise to considerable dcbauchery among
the young men who were glad to take
advantage Of the free intoNicants which
were always forthcoming at the
home of any lady who received visitors
on the first day Of the year.
After the bibulous callers had visited
few houses, and had been pressed to
drink at each one, they became noisy
or quarrelsomc or too hilarious for Ia
dies society.
Hence, their imprudencc gave rise to
more than one disagreeablc scene In
private parlors where ladies were as
semblcd, and the result is that the call
ing custom has become Questionable, "
and is now being rapidly dropped both
here and elsewhere.

Foreign News.

PARIS, Dec. 3o.-The explosion yes
terdav in the prefecture of police is still
being discussed. There is some doubt
as to whether the outrage was the work
of an anarchist. Some people claim
that the anarchists had nothing to do
with the affair, declaring that the out
rage was due to personal spite on the
part of discharged employee. What
ever the truth of the matter, the anar-
chists have taken advantage of the oc-
casion to issue manifesto couched IN
the blatant and ferocious style OF those
usual documents.
BERLIN, Dec. 3O.-In obedience to q
socialistic-clerical proclamation 5000
Sarlouis coal mines have struck and it is
expected that the strike will spread.
The police are Selling all the proclama-
tons they can find. The miners have
10 chance Of winning.
LONDON, Dec. 30.-Lord Mayor knill
is about to pay visit in full state to
Lord Mayor Meade, of Dublin. On
Sunday both of the officials will go in
procession to the Roman Catholic Ca
thedral, where they will attend mass.
Lord Mayor Knil's religious belief is
still thorn in the side of certain pro-
testant bigots, and this state visit to the
Lord Mayor of Dublin will afford them
fresh opportunity to attack the Church
of Rome, which they regard as being
engaged in the work of undermining
British institutions.
ODESSA, Dec. 30.-Letters from fash
kend report that Gen. Baranok, who
recently died in that town is gen.
orally believed to have been poisoned
by persons having cause to apprehend
the results ofthe administrative reforms
which he was about to introduce in
Turkestan. He had been deputed to
investigate and report upon the strange
and cruel conduct of the Grand Duke
Nicholas Constantinovitch, the Cars
cousin, who has lived in exile in Cen
trail Asia Since the painful drama which
twenty years ago brought about the
disgrace of his imperial highness.

NEWS OFF THE DAY.

II is stated that Senator Carlisle may
not feel justified in giving up his seat IN
the Senate to enter the cabinet.
Tammany primaries were held We'd
nesday night in New York and large
number OF former republicans were re-
ceived into the society.
Immediately after the reassembling
OF congress the republican senator's will
hold caucus to determine upon the Or
der of business that is to be pursued.
The largest seizure of Struggled opium
in wears has been made in San Fran
cisco. The contraband drug, consisting
of ] 200 halfpound cans, valued at
$4,000, was discovered inside OF the
sheathin@ in the hold of the steamer
Oceanic. from Hong Kong. The duty
on the opium amounted to $1,000.
1t is believed that Mr.. Richard
Croker will use every effort to elect ;IS
Edward Murphy to the Senate. The
two are now at Richfcld Springs, \. Y.
The newspaper which is supposed to
speak for Dir. Hugh Mclaughlin de
ciares that The election of Mr. Murphy
will be the opening gun in the battle
between the friends and enemies OF the
Cleveland administration.
James Dunlap. who was one OF the
gang of burglars who stole over 81 800
0G0 from the Northampton (Mass)
Bank, in 1876, was released from
Charlestown State prison yesterday.
Mrs. Scott Rowland, widow of Dun
laps preceptor in the crime, carried
out the Instructions contained in her
husbands will by placing on Dunlap's
finger ring when he was set free.
Ex-Secretary Whitney, before Mr.
Cleveland made his public protest
agaist the election of Mr.. Murphy to
the Senate, strenuously advised against
such course. Els is still in favor Of
Mr.. Murphy and believes him entitled
to the office, and that it would be I'M
generous to oppose him. Friends OF
Mr.. Cleveland speak of Bourke Cochran
as n candidate for the Senatorship
against Murphy but Mr. Cochran re-
mains loyal to Mr.. Murphy.
Miss Nary Elizabeth Garrett, of Bal
timore, has made possible the opening
of the proposed medical school OF the
Johns Hopkins University, in which
women shall receive the same opportu-
nifty for study rs men. The school, by
vote of the university trustees, will
open in October, 1898. Miss Garrett
has placed at the disposal of the trIls-
tees S306,977, which, with the amount
already in hand, will make up s50o,oOo,
the sum which was required by the
trustees to be made available for the
medical school before the establishment
was to become fact. The gift is to be
called "The Mary Elizabeth Garrett
Fund" 1t does not represent all thai
Miss Garrett has given, for she contri-
buted SIT, 1880 to the fund raised by
the committee of Baltimore women to-
ward the fund of 100000 required by
the trustees before women could bc adj
mitted to the medical school. Miss
Garrett contributed 1851, 76l.50.

James Kerr, went to the Ohio river or
Monday, ostensbly for supplies. They
returned home late on Tuesday night
very drunk, aad nothing moro was
seen of them until neighbor called
yesterday evening and found Mrs.
Barnes lying across the bed, dead, with
her head crushed, while Barnes and
Kerr were lying in a corner of the
room, also dead, frightfully slashed

him for coming home drunk, and that
her brother then attacked Barnes.

Mr.. Cleveland's Callers.

A dispatch from New York says: Senator
Roger @. Mills, of Texas, and Senator Cor
man, of Maryland, were among the callers on
Mr.. Cleveland yesterday. Mr.. Mills found it
a convenient stopping-place in the trip to and
from Albany. He could see Mr.. Cleveland
without inferring with his tour. By a
singular coincidence, he, as well as Speaker
Crisp, was comforting with Mr.. Cleveland
on the speakership and reorganization OF
the House. There were hosts of poll;i-
clans in town including Congressman
Scott, of Illinois, who arrived on We'd
nesday; ex-Speaker Reed and Senator'S
Chandler and Harris. The two topics OF
conversation were the New York senatorshlp
and the proposed extra session of Congress.
The general impression prevailed, notwith-
standing Mr. Cleycland's ayowed hostility To
Mr.. Murphy. that the latter would be the
candidate of the organized democracy when
the legislature meets to elect successor to
Mr. Hiscock. Regarding the extra session OF
Congress, it was current at the hotels fire.

likelihood Mr.. Cleveland would call one for

The Disabled ITmhr;n.

NEW YORK, Dec. 50.-Capt. Duck, OF
the steamer Manhansett, which arrived
from Bristol this morning, reports Dec.
Goth at 1:3O p. NJ, i'll lat. ~ 80, long. 81
45, spoke Cunard steamer Umbria, lay
ing to, repairing shaft. She expected
to finish repairs the next day and wish
9 l to be reported all well. According
20 Captain Duck, the Umbria is almost
directly south of Newfoundland, and
but a few hours steaming from
Halifax, Nova Scotia. Captain
Duck had his weather eye out for
salvage, but he says the Umbria de-
clined his assistance. 1t was twenty
hours from the time the Calico spoke
the Umbria until the Manhansett sight
ed her. During that time the steam
ship must have drifted backward more
than sixty miles, which shows that she
was unable to hold her own against the
rale.

VOYAGES OF ANCIENT WAR-SHIPs.
The voyages of the ancient ships were
often long,-for example, that of the
Cloths from Sicily in the Mediterrane-
an around to the coast of Holland; and,
if the writers of the middle ages con-
sidered the statements of such deeds TO
be fabulous, they must have formed
their Judgment more from lack of SINH
lar ability in their own vessel than any
thing else. Compare the length and
speedy lines of one of the old gallcys,
and their beautiful proportions, with
the tower-lille, Chinese-pagoda style
of naval architecture Of the. middle
ages. A mere glance at the picture OF
the Great Harry" or some of the ia
nous ships of the Spanish Armada.
will show the difference ; but when
comparison is made of the seas for
which the two styles OF ships were
constructed, VIC may not smile at the
builders ofthose towering, melon-sided
old warriors any more than at the
seemingly improbable voyages of the
ancients. The blue Mediterranean
was not the rough Bay OF BIscay, OF
the turbulent North Sea, or the Cham
ne! at Dover; and while the Great
Harry or "Santissima Trinidad" built
for the high choppy seas of the North
might easily have been outstrlpped
in voyage on the inland sea by Pto-
lcmy's ship with its thousand oarsmen.
yet we can hardly doubt that the gal,
ley. with its great length and small
width, would soon have been racked
or twisted to peices in the rougher
Northern waters. Both styles OF craft
were designed for the waters they were
to know, and the ancients, with their
many seaports, where they could shell
ter at nj ght or in stormy weather,
might work their way along the coasts
and amid shoals and currents where
even modern steam-frigate would be
at disadvantage The Duke Of
Northumberland made a voyage to
India by way of theCape Of Good Hope,
in 1894, in a "galuzabra,' which was
but modernized form of galley.-Jan-
uary 81. Nicholas.

A FATAL FAMILY QUARREL.-Gary

A FATAL FAMILY QUARREL.-Garys-
burg, station on the Petersburg and
Weldon Railroad, was thrown into
state of excitement yesterday morning,
about eleven o'clock, by murder.
John f. Lifsey some years ago married
sister of Charles X. Keys, and for
some time past feud has existed be-
tween the two men, growing out of the
division of a piece of land which had
belonged to Keys,s mother. Several
days ago Keys reached Garysburg from
Roanoke, where he is employed in the
machine shops ofthe Norfolk and Yves
tern Railroad Company, to attend the
funeral of his wife's mother. He left
his baggage in the railroad Office and
applied for it yesterday morning. Lifscy
is the railroad agent at Garysburg, and
when Keys went for his baggage he
told him he owed storage on it. Keys
paid the storage, remarking that it was
piece ofroguish business and that he
proposed to see where the money went.
He then left the room, and as he pass
through the door Lifsey took his gun,
which was lying on n table at his back,
and shot Keys through the head, kill
ing him. Liisey claims that as Keys
started to 60 out of The door, he placed
his hand on his hip:pocket as if to draw
a pistol. When Keys was searched no
weapon of any kind was found on him.
He is widely known in Petersburg.
Keys's father is the proprietor of the
hotel at Garysburg.
