They Object to Cold Mutton.

What, I wonder, is the reason Of the
intense aversion to cold mutton cher
ished by certain classes of the commr.-
nifty?
Is it possible that Dickens, with his
grim picture Of the squalid rations dealt
out to the poor little marchioness by
Miss Sally Brass, has had anything to do
with the unpopularity of this particular
article of food?
Whatever be the cause, there can be
no doubt about the fact, and most house
keepers will recognize in the protest of
the sweeps man who objected in Lon
don court to the action Of his master in
Offering him cold mutton for dinner an
echo of staple and recognized COM
plant from the servants hall.
The odd thing is that no one, servant
or otherwise, ever thinks Of Directing to
cold beef. 1t is only mutton in its frigid
state that is held to be. in some mystic
rious way, derogatory to the dignity of its
consumer.
The comic papers, in days of yore
used to connect cold mutton and "wash
ing day" together, and it is perhaps t,
this fact that the survival of this curl
GUS prejudice may be raced.-Lady'

Several large speculative operations in
which he was closely identified with
Marcus DAILY, the Montana copper king,
are said to hi % netted him a fortune
aggregating 100000 and may incidcn-
tally have led to his securing the senator
ship, for his appointment is almost uni
versally ascribed to Days influence,
though that gentleman is very promi-
nent in Democratic councils.
Mr.. Mantle has been prominent Re-
publican politician for some years and
has been elected to several offices on the
nomination Of that party. He served
one term as alderman in Butte and q
term in the Montana territorial legisla-
ture, during which he was speaker Of
the lower house. He was elected mayor
of Butte by the Republicans in the spring
of 1892, and his success in securing that
Office is also ascribed to Mr. DAILY, Butte
being claimed as Democratic city.
In 1884 Mr.. Mantle was delegate to
the Republican national convention, and
in the same year he was a prominent
candidate for appointment to the gov
ernorship of the territory, which Office
was bestowed by President Arthur on B.
Platt Carpenter. Mr.. Mantle is unmar-
ried and Of prepossessing personal ap-
pearance.
Mr.. Mantle was appointed to the sena-
torship by Governor Richards because of
the failure of the legislature of Montana
to elect a successor to Senator Sanders,
whose term expired on March 8.

"pLAlN BILLYn M'ADOO.

The Ex-Congressman From New Jersey to
Assist the Naval Secretary.
William McAdoo, who has been ap-
pointed assistant secretary of the navy
by President Cleveland, has very inter-
esting history. He is a native of Ireland
and was educated in Jersey City, where
his parents located on their arrival in
this country while he was very young.
He studied law with ex-Congressman
Scudder and was admitted to the New
Jersey bar in 1874. He was counsel to
the Hudson county board of health for
many years and served one term in the
New Jersey legislature. He was elected
to the Forty eighth congress in 1882,
when he was only 20 years old, and re-
elected to the Forty-ninth, Fiftieth and
Fifty-frst congresses, but was defeated
for another denomination by Congress
man Mcdonald.

London,s Underrround water.

The chalk under London can no long.
be looked upon as source of great ado
tional supplies of water. This is alreat
utilized by upward of 200 wells, al
while at the commencement Of the &C
fury the water when tapped rose
many places to the surface it stands nc
at level of about 40 feet below Trim
high water mark. 1t is considered tt
the rate of depression now varies fir;
one to two feet per annum. The eff
of the continuous pumping of water frt
the chalk has thus been to lower I
plane of saturation, whereby the flow
distant springs and streams has be
more Or less seriously affected. Prac
cally, the amount Of water pumped fro
the chalk under London is SO much talk
from the streams that are fed by tt
natural overflow from that formation

FROM MAYOR TO SENATOR.

Lee Mantle of Butte, the Appointee Of
DIontana's Governor.
Lee Mantle, Montana's new senator, is
native of England, where he was born
about 43 years ago. He came with his
parents to this country when he was
about 0 years of age, his family locating
in Salt Lake City in 1858 and joining the
Mormon church. In 1870 he went to Ida
no, where he was in the employ of the
Western Union Telegraph company, the
Wells-Fargo Express company and the
Gilman & Salisbury Stage company I'M
til 1877, when he removed to Butte,
Mon, where he was employed in similar
capacities. Two years later he became
interested in the Butte Inter Mountain,
an afternoon paper, and from that time
devoted himself to building up the bust
ness of his paper. When he had made
The Inter Mountain a successful news
paper enterprise, he began turning his
attention to operations in real estate and
mining enterprises, though he retained,
as he does still, the business manager
ship of the paper.

man Mcdonald

In congress Mr.. McAdoo achieved an
enviable reputation as an orator and q
ready debater, and the knowledge and
experience he gained as member Of the
house committee on naval affairs should
be Of especial value to himself and the
navy department in his new position.
He is asman of somewhat peculiar ideas
and once introduced in the house bill
for the abolition of diplomatic ministries
to foreign countries, claiming that our
consuls abroad could conduct the bust
ness Of our foreign intercourse quite as
effectually as ministers, and that the
latter were unnecessary and even injuri-
GUS to the republic. He has also ex-
pressed, through the mediumship Of a
magazine article, some ideas on the sub
iect of reform in the methods of proce-
dure in the house of representatives, ad-
vising, among other things, the removal
of members desks from the floor and the
compulsory recognition of members by
the speaker in the order of their rising
in debate.
Mr.. McAdoo is handsome, black eyed
man, with dark hair and mustache, slen-
Ter in build and not above the average
height. He was very popular among
the voters in his old district, and it was
said that his nickname of "Plain Billy"
became the watchword of his first cam
paign and carried him into Office by
big majority. When he first took his
seat, it was said that he was the young
est man who ever sat in the house Of
~ L IL
his defeat by Congressman Mcdonald
Mr.. McAdoo was admitted to the bar in
New York city, where he has since prac-
ticed his profession and resided. There
was considerable talk at the time Of his
removal to the metropolis about his hav-
ing desire to represent a New York
district in the house, but nothing ever
came of it.

from Japan and India. Chief among the
former will be Zitsuzen Ashitsu of Omi
who is noted for having read the COM

The Mohammedans of India have Sc
lected their two greatest scholars to rep
resent them-viz, Justice Amer Ali Of
the supreme court of Bombay and an
other whose name In English is not yet
announced Orthodox Hindooism will
be represented by Nilkanth Vithal Shas-
tri, and the SO called progressive branch,
founded by Baboo Chestnut Chunder Sen,
by the eloquent Mozoomdar. From
Bombay also will come Mr.. Jinanji
Jamshedji Modi, who took high honors
at the University of Bombay, to present
the case of the Parsees or Zoroastrians.
The old question as to whether Judaism
or Parseeism is the older of the two re-
igions will doubtless be argued anew,
but it is now conceded by the best Anglo
Indian scholars that Parseeism existed
at least in 1900 B. G.
1t was a daring conception indeed
that of calling such convention and
inviting men Of all religions-and its
success was SO doubtful that the Chris
tian ministers engaged said nothing Of it
till their doubts were removed. The
committee of arrangements at Chicago
comprises such men as Rev. John Henry
Barrow, chairman, Presbyterian; Right
Rev. w. E. McLaren, Protestant Epis-
copal; Most Rev p A. Feehan, Roman
Catholic; Rabbi E. G.. Hirsh, Jew, and
opponents of every other faith professed
in Chicago. In the advisory council and
among the consulting and corresponding
projectors are Professor F. A. Hosmer,
Oahu college, Honolulu; Bishop Arnett
Of the African Methodist Episcopal
church; Professor Conrad Won Orelli of
Basic, Switzerland; Right Rev. John j.
Keane, rector of the Catholic university
at Washington. and many others OF
equal rank.
DR.. Barrow has been at work on the
matter for two years, during which he
has sent invitations to men of every sect
in the world and has received letters of
acceptance from about / 800 persons. To
him more than any other man is due the
credit for such remarkable gathering.
Professor A. P. Peabody of Harvard uni
versity, whose elegant and pleasing
works on Christianity are widely read,
has been active in furtherance Of the
movement. In Europe the Rev. Ferdi-
nand Cisar, the great theologian Of the
reformed churches of Bohemia, has been
very active in securing representation Of
eastern Europe, and the Rev. George 7.
Candlin has been equally active for Asia.
He will bring to the conference knowl-
edge of the religious condition of China
at least equal to that of any man living.
