THE BLESSING OF THR0ATs.
Mss. Seton Will Do So Tonight at st
Joseph's--Story of st. Blase.

Joseph,s--Story of st. Blase.
The Feast of the Publication was cele-
brated in all the Catholic Churches today.
Candles were blessed at all the masses. At
st. Joseph's Church there was procession
around the church, and solemn high mass
at nine O'Clock. This evening, at half-past
seven o'clock, there will be devotion and
benediction in the chapel, after which Mgr.
Seton will give the cris-cross blessing OF St
Blase. The blessing will be repeated tomor-
tow mo rning after the eight o'clock mass.
row. st. Blase was Bishop of Sebaste, city
of Armenia, and was most cruelty put to
death under the Emperor Licinius, A. D. 316.
He was scourged with rods for three hours
and cast into prison. While there mother
brought..to him her little son who was almost
strangled to death by fish bone which stuck
in his throat. The good Saint prayed to
God to cure the lad and all those likewise
afflicted, and thereupon he was restored to
health. st, Blase was savagely scourged and
at last beheaded. The blessing of throats, in
troduced into this country score of years ago,
is of the most remote origin. Actius, a
Greek physician, who lived at the close of
the fifth century, in a medical treatise
which he wrote, among other remedies for
throat troubles, recommends especially the
invocation of st. Blase
The PRAYER which the priest repeats when
imparting the blessing of st. Blase is:-"By
the intercession of st. Blase, Bishop and
MARTYR. may God deliver thee from throat
disease, and from every i'll whatsoever. In
the name of the Father, and of the Son, and
of the Holy Ghost, amen"

TO WIPE OUT CONSUMPTION.

A person suffering from pulmonary con-
sumption may be absolutely free of danger
to his most intimate surroundings, if only
the sputum is disposed of with scrupulous
care. The sputum, and the sputum alone,
in some way Is the source of danger; and
common sense, good sanitation, humanity,
and even the requirements of simple cleanli-
ness, demand that this should be destroyed
or rendered harmless DR.. Lawrence Flick
of Philadelphia, who has studied this subject
carefully has expressed the firm conviction
that with our present knowledge we have it
in our power to completely wipe out pull
monary tuberculosis in single generation,
and he adds: ssWere half the energy which
is being spent in the almost hopeless task of
searching for specific cure for tuberculosis
devoted to its determination, its accomplish
ment would be assured. n-Da. Briggs IN

TALMAGEs NEW HIPPoDRoME

NEW YORK, Feb. 2, 1s94.-It was an
nounced today that the Rev. DR.. T. Dewitt
Talmage, the famous Brooklyn preacher, has
completed arrangements for tour of the
world during the coming spring and summer
According to the present programme DR..
Talmage will go overland to San Francisco
and will sail from that port the last week in
May, taking the steamer to the Hawaiian
Islands. He will also visit New Zealand
Australia, China and India, in the East. In
China large portion of his time will be
spent in Annoy, where his brother, the late
Rev DR.. John Talmage, was for forty-two
years missionary. The daughters of the
well known missionary still live in Annoy
and continue the work their father began
there The journey honleward will be made
from Ceylon, through Europe and across the
Atlantic.
DR.. Talmage will be accompanied by his
wife and two daughters, and will be absent
about five months. The extended trip
through Asia and Europe has no connection
with the present crisis in the affairs of his
church. 1t was practically determined upon
in 1892 when he was in Russia. 1t is his in
tention to preach and lecture in every place
he visits while he is away.

ATTACKED BY INDIANS.
Camp Loo ed and the Prospeetor
Killed-Parties in
Pursuit.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 2, 1S94-A special to the
news reached that place last night from
Mammoth, sixty miles northwest, that
the Indians are on the warpath Wednes-
day afternoon Husipia Clark, a prospector,
while at work in the Bunker Hill district,
was attacked by four Indians. Clark is an
old Indian scout and knows the country and
Indians as well as they know themselves.
He easily evaded his assailants, and at once
started for Mammoth, twelve miles away
tor re. endorsements.
ANOTHER CAMP LOOTED.
Coming in he found the camp of William
Emerson, another prospector, looted clean of
valuables and food. Emerson was not found
and Clark believes him killed. Clark got to
Mammoth Wednesday night at eleven o'clock.
He at once aroused the camp
and was soon at the head of a
party of men, bent on capturing the In
dians Yesterday morning at seven o'clock
a second party followed them. About 20
men are now on tine trail of the Indians, and
/ a capture is expected
THEY ARE APACHES.
Clark is of the opinion that the party is
either the Kid and his gang or a general
outbreak of Apaches from the reservation.
On receipt of the news in Tucson last
night word was at once telegraphed by Mar
shal Meade to Fort Grant Of the affair,
with request that troops be sent there.
The request will doubtless be complied
with 1t has been the policy of the
Government for the past few years to with
draw the Arizona military posts and send
the soldiers up North. This mistake was
never better evidenced than now. Should
the outbreak be general the Indians cannot
now be reached by the soldiers within "a
hours as soon as when Fort Lowell, near
Tucson was garrisoned.

WILLIS REPLY TO DOLE.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2, 1894. The President
sent to Congress today letter received from
Minister Willis in reference to the reply of
President Dole to Willis request for
specific answers to what Mr.. Cleve-
land termed Mr.. Dole's smost
extraordinary document. In forwarding the
latter to the President, Secretary Gresham
says that dispatches 25, 26 and ~, received
from Mr.. Willis, are not inclosed. They re-
late solely to routine legation matters and
The letter of Mr.. Willis to Mr.. Gresham
follows
LEGATION OF THE UNITED STATES,
HONOLULU. II. l.. Jan. II, 1894.
Hon. w. Q. Gresham, Secretary of State
SIR-On yesterday, at half-past six P. M,
received the Hon. s. A. Dole's answer to
my letter of January 1, requesting him,
sat his earliest convenience to
give me the specifications contained
in prior letter. His answer is about fifty
pages of closely written official paper, and
has been delivered to me too late to either
copy or reply to in time for the steamer
leaving at 2 P M. today.
There is one extract. however, to which |
think your attention should be called, where
it is stated ''this Government has been and
now is subjected to the necessity of increased
watchfulness and large additional expense,
which but for such attitude, would have been
unnecessary"
The emphasis above is mine. In pre-
vious letter of December 27, Minister Dole
had stated s'the government offices have been
placed and still continue in a condition OF
defence and preparation for siege and
the community has been put into a
STAGE of mind bordering on terrorism Z The
emphasis above is mine. Some portions OF
the letters from which there extracts are
made confirm the above statements while
others seem to negative them. With this
explanation, I submit them for your con
sideration.
The next steamer leaves here February
which would place you in possession of Mr..
Dole's letter and my purposed reply thereto
about February Is.
Very respectfully,

INTERESTING TEST CASE.
Policy Shark Taetom Sues For Money
Taken by the Police.

4
In the Hoboken District Court this morn
ing, policy shark James Taetom sued the
City of Hoboken for $40, held by the city,
which he claimed was his property. Taetom
was twice convicted for dealing in policy,
once being arrested on May IL, and the
second time on June q, 1898. In his posses
sion was found the money he has brought
suit for Counsellor Young ap-
peared for Taetom, and Corporation
Attorney James F. Minturn defended the
City of Hoboken.
Counsellor Young endeavored to prove
that Taetom acquired the money by honest
means, and Taetom swore that he never Sc
cured a cent from dealing in policy,
Detective Quinn, who arrested Taetom,
testified that he had taken policy slips from
Taetom and other paraphernalia employed
in the pernicious game. Chief of Detectives
Tanning swore that he had turned all
the money collected from Taetom over to
the City Treasurer.
Taetom, when asked by Minturn why he
pleaded guilty before the Grand Jury to the
charge of policy playing, said he did so at
the advice of his counsel, Alec Young. He
could not explain how he came into posses
sion of the pol icy slips. Taetom said he was
never engaged in the policy business. He al
ways carried big wads of greenbacks. On
May II he had 800 and on June 81 he car
ried $50.
Detective Quinn was asked how he knew
anything about policy playing. He said he
never did until he became detective, and
then he played Once he played, three
months ago, at Fabers, Fifth and Adam
streets He never played with Taeton.
Mr. Minturn made pretty talk, picturing
the evils of policy. He said the city was en-
titled to, ,,Taetoms money, illegally acquired.
Counsellor Young contended that the money
belonged to Taetom and notthe city.
Decision was reserved.

''The affairs in this court are rotten" ex-
claimed Senator w. D. DAILY as he strutted
into the Hoboken District Court room, this
morning and slammed his old colonial style
silk hat ON desk. You can't get anything
done. and everything conducted is crooked. y
The court had just adjourned and Judge
Paxton was about to step from the judicial
platform. He turned around and listened.
Senator Daly's eyes snapped viciously
He glared at Johnnie Reese, constable of the
court and limited that Johnnie had retained
monies collected from a client of the law

Reese colored deeply and endeavored to
stammer out an excuse. But the Senator
was determined to have his say.
JUDGE PAXTON AROUSED.
Judge Paxton knew what was up. Senator
DAILY furnished any information the Judge
didn't have, and the latter, turning sharply
around, said to Reese
ssIf you and some others here don't settle
this thing it viii be uncomfortable for you.
There's too much of this going on in this
court" and with this rebuke, which struck
heavily, Judge Paxton with decided step,
walked from the room.

MURDERED IN THEIR BED.

BIRMINGHAM, Feb. 9, 1S94.-At Lue-
verne, Ala, Mr.. and Mrs. William Bush,
respectable people living about five miles
from the station, were murdered in their
home yesterday evening.
The neighbors saw the windows of their
house open and on examination found MI.
and Mrs. Bush in bed, weltering in blood,
their bodies riddled with bullets. The
crime was committed but few hours
before, as the wounds were fresh. Who
the assassins were is not known. The cause
is thought to be robbery, as, the Bush's were
known to have considerable money and none
of it can be found.
The crime is the worst that has occurred in
the settlement in number of years and all
means are being resorted to to capture the
murderers and it such does occur Judge

PLUNGED TO DEATH.
Sad Drowning Accident
This Morning at the
Pavonia Ferry.
TRIED TO RESCUE HIS BROTHER.
In So Doing Alfred Morey Lost
His Life-The Brother
Saved.

A particularly sad drowning accident or
Cured this morning at the Pavonia avenue
ferry of the Erie Railroad Company.
Alfred Morey, twenty-five years old, of
Ridgewood, in attempting to rescue his
brother John, who had fallen overheard in
attempting to board the ferryboat Pavonia
as she was pulling out of the slip was
drowned. His brother was rescued by
deckhand named John Weber.
The accident was witnessed by fully two
hundred passengers. who were standing on
the after7deck of the boat. The body Of the
drowned man has not as yet been
recovered. The Morey brothers left their
home in Ridgewood this morning
together. They boarded the Erie Railroad
train which arrives in Jersey City at eight
o'clock Alfred, who had secured seat in
the smoking car, made dash for a boat the
moment the train came to q standstilL he
caught the boat, which was even then pre-
pairing to start. A moment after the gates
had been closed John Morey appeared on the
scene He managed to get through the gates,
and, taking running start, he made leap
for the boat, which had drawn out about
five feet. His foot slipped when he leaped,
and he fell short of his mark. The moment
he struck the water he screamed for help.
Passengers rushed in every direction to pro-
cure life preservers.
THE BROTHER TO THE RESCUE.
His brother. Alfred, who saw him drop
into the water, divested himself of his over
coat, and without moments hesitation
plunged in head foremost. The moment he
struck the water he became benumbed, and
although said to be an expert swimmer, he
made no effort to save himself A second
later the excited passengers were Mortified to
see him throw up his arms and sink. John
| Weber, a deckhand, had in the
meantime procured boat hook
and fastening it in the young mans overcoat
pulled him up on the float. He cried pite-
ously for his brother and it required the
united efforts of three men to keep him from
| plunging into the river to rescue his brother,
| who he believed was still struggling for his
| life When informed that he had been
| drowned he wept like child and consented
| to be removed TO his home.
NO SIGN OF THE BODY.
| For ten minutes the passengers strained
| their eyes hoping to get a glimpse of the
| BODY of the drowned man. Their vigilance
| was without avail. The body did not rise
after it sank the first time. The slip was drag
| ged at noon, but no trace of the body could
| be found Alfred Morey, the drowned man,
was employed as clerk in the First
| National Bank of New York. He was an
exceedingly popular young man IN Ridge
! wood
His brother, John, is eighteen years old,
and holds clerical position at No. q Broad
way, New York.
