ing is suggested as the chief object of
the trip. The departure was arranged
with the utmo:t secrecy, and officials at
the White House even as late as noon
denied any knowledge of the Presi-
dents absence from the city. Sec
retaries Gresham and Carlisle and Cap
tain Evans met the President at the
White House about ten o'clock, and at
halfpast ten they started for the Sew
enth street wharf, the place of en-
barkation. The two cabinet officers

A so-CALLED independent newspaper
says it doesn't see why the appoint
ment by this government of negro to
represent it at the capital of a foreign
white nation, should be Objectionable to
that nation. Independents are usually
blind in one eye and rarely see well out
of the other. What would this gov
ernment think of England, or France,
or of any other white foreign nation, if
it were to appoint negro as its repre-
sentative at Washington? "Put your
self in his place." is a very good rule
for nations, rs well as for individuals.

Mr.. and Mrs. Lundt, of Brooklyn,
think their daughter made mistake
when she married DR.. Mckinley Mac
Arthur. He is not 81 years old J ct and
she is just IS. They met five months
ago, and after courtship oftwo months
were married. Mr.. Macarthur is a
teacher of languages and is also a plan
list. He is short and slim and wears
his hair long. After the marriage he
took his wife 10 live al 30 Hull street.
He made certain rules and regulations
for his wife to follow, and she having
violated one of these on the night after
their marriage he is alleged to have
spanked her.
Mrs. Jones, who was the landlady,
did her best to smooth over their trou-
bles. She explained that Mr.. MacAr-
thur was subject to moods which were
induced by astronomical conditions.
When the moon was full he was ex-
ceedingly moody. He forbade his wife
to 90 out without his consent. and to
make sure that she did not he pasted
strips of paper across the door so that
he could detect her. He ruled supreme
in his room and also cooked the meals.
If his wife was slow to catch his mean
ing when he talked to her he punished
her by pinching her on the arms and
body. He even forbade her to speak to
Mrs. Jones, but the young wife had
nobody else around when the PROBES.
sor was away, and she made conf
dante Of the landlady. She said she
did not care so much what her husband
said, so long as he did not insist on pun
ishing her for imaginary faults.
One of her friends presented her with
handsome dress. Her husband in
sisted that she should have it dyed
black, as he intended to go into mourn
ing over the death of his mother, which
occurred about twenty years ago. She
did not do this, and he became angry,
and it is said he beat her. Not satisfied
with this, he turned her out of doors, it
is alleged, and she spent night at her
mothers house, 22S7 Pacific st rect. She
returned to him the next day and q re-
Cancellation was effected. Mrs. Jones
talked with him and told him of his
wife's great love for him. He replied
that he thought there was an affinity at
one time, but later had discovered his
mistake. On Monday last he is said to
have spanked his wife again and once
more turned her into the street. This
time, by advice of her mother, she got
warrant from Justice Connolly at the
Gates-Avenue Police Court. MacAr-
thur learned of this, and he could not
be found. 1t is said he il in New Jersey.
Mrs. Lundt said her daughter had been
outrageously treated, but she would not
be surprised to hear of her returning to
him. She said she wanted her daughter
to get separation, but she would not
do so.-New York Sun.

TUESDAY EVENING. DEC 26, 1893.

THE southern and democratic mem
Der of the civil service commission, as
has Just been proved by the official cor
respondence of that commission, was re-
moved for expressing the same, and cor
rect, opinion of an official matter that
had previously been expressed by a
northern republican colleague, but
which opinion the latter had reversed
when he learned that it was objection
able to the powers that be. OF course
nothing should be allowed to delay the
passage of the new tariff bill, for, unsat-
isfactory as that bill may be, on ac-
count of the slight reduction, it makes
in the tax on manufactures, it IS at
least in the line Of reduction and tends
to lessen the cost of living; but as soon
as it is out of the way, the democrats
in Congress, if they be wise, should at
once set about repeating the act that
created the civil service commission.
The repeal of that act would strength
en- the democratic party even more
than the repeal of the Mckinley bill.
