HIS MOTHER

Tells the Jury About the Insanity That
Has Been the Heritage of Prendergast.
CHICAGO, Dec. 1S.-When the Prem
dergast trial was resumed Saturday
morning, Mrs. Prendergast, mother
of the prisoner, was recalled by the
defense and asked in regard to the
sanity of her husbands father.
She testified that the boys grand
father was insane in 1889, and that
he was confined in an asylum at that
time and W as irrational at times after
ward. He was a soldier in the English
army and his arm was shot off in a
battle in the south of Spain. The wit
ness was very much confused during
cross-examination, but made her story
straight when interrogated in a kindly
manner by Judge Brentano.

CLEVELAND
Will Not Favor His Opponents, Says
a Democratic Congressman.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S. Stories re-
garding the determination of President
Cleveland to subordinate everybody in
all issues, unless they agree with his
ideas, MULTIPLY. The latest has for its
author a prominent democratic con-
gresham, who went to the white house
to look into certain post Office appoint
ments
"After patiently waiting for num-
ber OF congressman, who preceded me
to make their wants known, 1t did not
take long for me to discover" said he
Sunday, while relating his experience,
'that the president was in a mood to
descend to the pettiest tricks which
one might expect to find in the make
up of the poorest politician. After ques-
tioning me pretty closely as to the avail
ability and capacity of my candidate,
he wandered off on dissertation on the
tariff and Hawaiian questions. Then he
sounded his views on both subjects and
gave me to understand pretty clearly
that II / expected any favor at his
hands, l must prove myself to be friend
ly toward the administration in my
voting. This was a revelation to me,
for 1 expected better treatment and
hoped that stories circulated concern
ing the presidents methods were ex-
aggerated. My experience taught me
a lesson, and it will be long time be-
fore subject myself to a repetition of
the treatment accorded me at the white
house"
Another story in which Senator
Palmer appears as the luckless man
appears here. The senator from Illi-
nois went to the white house and in
formed the president that he wanted
John Donnelly appointed marshal not
later than Wednesday, so that he could
depart for Chicago to help elect Hop
kins, the democratic candidate for
mayor. Wednesday came, but no nom
| ination.
Senator Palmer receives little SYM
pathy from his colleagues in the SEN
ate, who say he ought to have followed
Voorhees, example and got his patron
| age before he became an administra-
ton senator. The answer which the
president is said to have made not long
ago, when asked how he came to ap-
point young Eckels controller of the
currency, "Oh, heard Senator Palmer
wasn't going to let me do it, so
| thought I'd see," is recalled by those
| who heard of his late rebuff

PITTSBURGH'S POOR.
Andrew Carnegie Has a Scheme for Rails
ing 100000 for Them.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Dec. 1S.-When the
police and fremen of Pittsburgh start
ed out Tuesday to take a complete CEN
sus of the unemployed and destitute, it
was confidently expected that they
would finish in two days. They have
been at it constantly since, yet the
work has not been finished. The
names of 1900 families have been
turned in to Director Brown, of the de-
partment of public safety, who has
charge of the census Mr. Brown said
thai the complete returns will show
5000 families who are actually in want
Il. nine out of ten cases the families are
fge, and a fair average to each would
DE six persons. This would make 21,-
600 people to be assisted by the relief
committee.
These figures may seem little high,
but Director Brown says they are
right. The officers were provided with
blanks in which they entered the
name, residence, number of people in
each family, how long the wage-earn-
ers have been out of work and whether
any of the family is ill., Over half the
blanks turned in tell pathetic stories of
sickness. In but a few cases were ply
sicians in attendance, the great major
ity suffering for medicine and nourish-
ment. There are also a number of
cases of births in which there were no
physicians in attendance, the people
being too poor to call one.
Andrew Carnegie has intimated that
he will raise 100000 for the benefit of
the poor. He has scheme for the
city to furnish employment for all the
able-bodied men, and pledges himself
to raise this sum to pay them. The
work will be on public improvement,
such as grading the Schenly park, in
which Mr.. Carnegie is building ST.
900, 900 library, and street labor AS
the city appropriations have been ex-
hausted and no work can be done until
next years appropriations are made
the money will be lent to the city. Mr..
Carnegie has in ntimated that he does
not care whether the loan is repaid or
not SO long as work is furnished to
those who want it.

SENSATIONAL PREACHER.
Advocates Religious Instruction in the
Public Schools.

Public Schools.
New YORK, Dec 1s.-Rev. DR.. VIM.
S. Rainford preached sermon in st.
Georges churcn Sunday that caused a
sensation in the congregation that lis
tened to it. The subject in general
was the "Children's Season" but
as he proceeded the clergyman
bore heavily upon the subject of
the lack of religious or moral educa-
tion given to children in the public
schools. He asserted that religious
training in the public schools is abso-
lutely necessary, and is the only form
for society. "If Protestant churches
can not do the work, let Catholics take
tup. Let him save who can," said the
minister. He has caused more than
one sensation before but his sermon
Sunday surpassed all his other sur
prises.

A Handsomely Remodeled House

The dwelling of Mrs W.T. .Cavender.
on Main street, which has been under.
going very extensive modifcations,a and
enlargements since the beginning of
the summer is at last exposed to view,
the board enclosure being removed
last week.
The old dwelling was the residence
of Mrs. Cavenders' father, the late DIR.
Fisler numbers of years before his
death, which occurred 95 years ago,
and continued to be the home of Mrs.
Fisler, until her death last March.
1t is essentially a new house except
location, the architect, f. l.. Rice, of
Wilmington, and builders Joseph
Wright & Son, of this town, not leaving
a discernible trace of the old building to
view. In size and style of architecture
it Is one of the most substantial houses
in town and will be much admired by
visitors.
The whole front is an entire change.
the exterior of the lower story being
covered with brown cement and pen.
ciled in imitation of blocks of marble.
The upper story is painted a French
gray, also penciled in marble. From
mere the roof and gables which have
assumed more slanting shape are
covered with slate. The gables, the
entire round of the house are painted a
terra Gotta, an experiment after Mr..
Cavender's plan. The front porch is
after the style of Moorish architecture.
having three distinct arches resting on
brown granite pillars. This porch is
surrounded by a rail, limitation OF
marble. On either side of the front door
are wooden pillars extending from the
frontal at the top to the marble steps
below.
The rear building which formerly
adjOined the old residence has been
moved back and enlarged with an ad-
ditiOn, leaving room on the south and
east sides for two large verandas. On
the north side is a handsomely finished
bay window running the length of two
stories.
The interior which will be equally as
handsome is under rapid progress. The
house is heated with hot water through
out generated from plant in the base

Business Enlargement, and New
HOusA

What was the residence of Mrs.
Lydia Mcdowell and children, Edwin.
Lizzie and Sallie, since she entered it
49 years ago when she became the wife
of James Mcdowell, and 35 years since
his death, was, by one Of those changes
indicating business prosperity, week
ago added to and become part of the
furniture store which this generation
knows as the store of Z. w. Mcdowell.
This enlargement of the furniture de.
partment was consequent upon an
other change-the building of a new
residence.
One ofthe "old landmarks" on the
western side of the town standing for a
number of years alone was the T'hip.
rooted" property known as the Nc
Dowell house. It was In the fashion
at the time it was erected, but had SER
we'd its day and purpose, and had to
give way to a new, more modern and
larger structure. This was begun in
the summer, and with the usual DELAYS
10 plumbing, electric light fixtures &c,
was finally finished and possession
taken q week ago. It is near the depot
three squares from the old home, but
the enlargement of comfort quite COM
pensates for the distance from busi-
ness and associations.
The new home is after plans selected
by the Misses Mcdowell, and has been
much admired by their friends. Its
noticeable feature is its amplitude in
its compactness of arrangement. En-
trance is through large porch span
ming the front into good sized hall,
from which doors open Into the par
lor, sitting room and dining room at
the extreme end. These again are
connected by sliding doors and can all
be thrown into one room when desired.
At the rear Of all is the kitchen with
the modern improvements which this
important part Of the dwelling calls
for. The second story Is reached by
front and back stairs. This has four
bed chambers and a bath room, while
the third story or attic Is divided into
three large rooms, plastered and
papered. Besides the front porch there
Is one also ut the side entrance to the
sitting room as also one at the kitchen
entrance.
The name Mcdowell, is one that
dates back to the time when the place
was called Duck Greek Cross Roads. be.
fore II received the name of SMYRNA.
and they have articles of furniture that
pave thus been 10 the family for more
than 100 years.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. Edward DeFord
also set up housekeeping week or so
ago IA their new home on Mt. Vernon
street. which is constructed somewhat
siteg the general plan OF the above,
hhVing ten rooms, water and bath. Ii
ia cozy home aud makes quite an ad-
ditlon to Mt. Vernon street.

1t is estimated that the number of
the unemployed in New York is not
less than 100000; in Chicago 100000;
in Philadelphia not less than 90,000; in
Boston 10000 and Cincinnati $4,000.
In every city in the land the number of
unemployed increases; and no industry
flourishes as do the soup houses, which
are being opened all over the land for
the hungry and the idle.
In the larger cities of the land it has
been estimated that at least one-third
of the industrial population is out of
employment, and before there is i'm
prOyement in the situation it is bound
to become worse. According to the
last census, in the five cities named
above, 100000 persons were en-
ployed in manufactures, whose wages
amounted to $685., 100000 year.
Touching the question, the New
York Press prints an interesting and
instructive article, from which the fol-
lowing extract is made: "The actual
figures published by the census for 1877
cities gives the average amount of
yearly earnings per head at $537 so the
above estimate is undoubtedly within
the mark for the five leading cities.
Nearly one-third of the industrial
population of these cities is out of en-
ployment, which means an annual loss
of wages of more than $2O0,000,00O, or
a sum of SIG, 100000 per month. The
unhappy condition existing in these
cities extends, with hardly an excep-
ton, throughout the manufacturing
regions of the country.
In some cities in that State and Penn
sylvania and New England the per-
centage of the unemployed will even
exceed SO per cent. And this is true
of the mining districts of the North
west and far Western States. Suppose
we take 1877 cities for which we have
at hand the eleventh census reports.
Here are included only places of i'm
pOrtance, for there are in all 448 cities
in the United States OF 5000 population
and over.

The Pennsylvania railroad has de-
cided to reduce its running expenses.
This is to be done as follows:
Cutting down the number of work
ing hours from nine to eight day.
The men will only work five days a
week as heretofore, and will conse-
quently make but forty hours a week
instead of torty-fve as at present.
The men in the shops were some
what surprised at the order, although
they have known for long time that
work was dull, and it would be neces-
sary to curtail expenses. The new
order will materially reduce the wages
of the men employed.
The rule was issued in accordance
with resolution passed at a meeting
of the heads of departments and the
general superintendent of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company held in
Philadelphia on Thursday. 1t is also
expected that all unnecessary help
will be cut off in all the different de-
partments of the company's service.
