WORLDS ". q. n. o.
The Observance of Neal BOWS Ninetieth
birthday Anniversary.

<AhnlFtrbtfys
All temperance workers are now
aware that, as president of the Worlds
Woman's Christian Temperance Union,
Miss Frances E. Willard has issued a
call for the observance of Gen. Neal
Dow's 90th birthday on March Goth
They also know that no temperance
demonstration was ever quite complete
without an appeal for money. The
leaders Of this movement hope that the
collections received by the different
local societies on that day will be equally
divided between the treasury of the
Worlds w. @. Il. U. and any local work
that may be in need of funds.
The Worlds w. c. I. U. is, so far as
we know, the only temperance organi-
cation havinga worldwide constituency
and engaging in foreign mission work.
The salaries of the secretaries, with that
of the missionary in India Ito say moth
ing of the necessarily enormous postage
and stationery bills) are regular ex-
penditures for which funds are greatly
needed. A small grant, just at this time,
would greatly help the work of our
missionary in Africa, and the doors OF
China and Japan are open TO us could
we but raise the money to send our
workers.
We would gratefully acknowledge
the kind generosity of those who have
responded to previous appeals and thank
them, beforehand, for their contributions
on "Neal Dow Day."
By request of the general officers OF
the Worlds w. @. II. u.

THE IRON TRADE.
Large Purchases of Bessemer Ore Mari
the Features of the Weeks Operations

Large Purchases of Bessemer Ore Mark
the Features of the Weeks Operations.
CLEVELAND, o., March 1.-The Iron
Trade Regiew says to-day:
The feature of the week in iron was
the purchase Of large blocks of Bessemer
ore by the Carnegie Steel Company and
other buyers, making the total thus far
bought for 1894 delivery something less
than 100000 ions.
Prices are on the basis established by
the recent Norris sales, discouraging to
the seller and giving little satisfaction
to the buyer, since $2.75 for Gogebic,
Bessemers, and prices proportionately
low for vermillion yre means that
Bessemer pig and the whole line of steel
products are to be on free trade basis
for months to come, and that labor's
hardships are to be prolonged, with no
immediate promise of better things.
Viewed from another standpoint,
these large sales of the primary material
have an aspect Hess discouraging. The
basis of cost having thus been fixed for
furnace men, they may in turn be able
to stimulate more generous buying for
future needs among their customers,

Secretary Lamont's Subordinates Have No

WASHINGTON, March 1.-Secretary
Lamont got down to the War Depart
ment the other morning promptly at 8
o'clock, and after dcyoting half an hour
or SO to an inspection of his mail con-
cluded he would have conference with
some of his chiefs. Messengers sent out
TO put this purpose into effect returned
with the information that none of the
gentlemen sought had yet reached the
office.
The usual daily stream of Senators
and Representatives, each with an axe
to grind, set in about this time and kept
the Secretary engaged until $3.50. He
then required to his original intention
and sent out his messengers again. This
time they returned with the statement
that each of the gentlemen sought had
donned his overcoat and retired for the
day.
Highly indignant, Colonel Lamont
dictated general order setting forth
that Office hours were from o a. M, to 4
p. M, and that it was expected these
hours would be observed by everybody
in the department.. Ibis he directed
should be shown to each of the derelict
officials, and it was done.
Did the rebuke cover them with
shame and confusion? Not at all.
Calmly overlooking its personal appli-
cation, each of the chiefs sat down and
wrote an order directed at his clerks, re-
quiring that any man or woman one

POPE LEO EIGHTY. 70 OR.
He Issues an Address in which HI
Denounces Free Masonry


ROME March 1.-The Pope to-day cele-
brated his S4th birthday anniversary and
the 10th anniversary of his coronation.
Cardinal RaiIaele Monaco La Valletta, on
behalf Of the sacred college, offered con-
gratulations and the Pope who was in
good health, expressed his thanks and
continued: I'VE are in the decline of life
but shall continue to the last day OF our
life to devote ourself to making the bene-
ticence of church universally felt. The
need of this is great, for all the old con-
ceptions Of honesty, justice, authority,
liberty. social rights and social duties have
been overthrown.
The church must seek to recall the
nations to the principles OF moral faith,
point out the true causes of the existing
evils, deuouce the designs of free masonry,
Undue the different classes of society with
a feeling of equity and charity, inspire
rulers with rectltude and be governed with
Submission and Instill in all ardor for
peace.
1T is for the church to revive study in
accordance with the dictates of Christian
wisdom, as advised in the recent encyoli-
cal Interpretation of the Scripture. We
pray that the germs by the action Of the
church may bring forth abundant harvest.
In token thereof we give you our benedic-

HUMMELsTowN, Pa, March 2.-After
suffering deformity for nine years. John
Urich was cured in an instant several days
ago. Urich is stonecutter, and nine years
ago he had a serious fail. From that he
was never able to stand erect or to walk as
he had formerly done. His strange afllic-
ton was known to all his friends. A few
days ago he was sheveling snow. Taking
a big shovelful he attempted to throw il
sharp pain in the side. 1t was so sudden
and painful that he tainted. When he re.
covered he could stand erect and walk as
we'll as he did before his fall nine years
ago. 1t is supposed that some joint that
had been dislocated was jerked into place
by the effort to throw the snow over the
fence.

A Florida Jury Promptly Finds Him Not

Guilty of the Charge of Prize-fghting.
JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Mar. 1.-James
j. Corbett, the pugilist, charged with
violating the laws of Florida by engag.
ing in a prize fight, was declared not
guilty by a jury this afternoon.
Charles Mitchell, the defeated partici.
pant in the fight of January 25th, was
present when the verdict was announced
and reached over and grasped Corbett
by the hand and whispered congratula-
tons. Mitchell, of course, considered
the verdict in the light of practical
acquittal for himself as a case against
him of similar nature is pending.
During the trial the attorneys forUthe
prosecution tried in vain I'd elicit testi-
mony to show that the fight was brutal,
and 10 make the witnesses admit that
from the very brutality of the contest
Corbett and Mitchell must have har.
bored malice against one another.

George Martin, Executed at Carlisle
Thursday Morning.
CARLISLE, Pa, March 1.-Charles
Salyards, the murderer Of Policeman
George Martin, was hanged in the jail
yard at 1898 o'clock this morning.
WHY sALYARDs WAS CONDEMNED.
The crime for which Charles Salyards
was hanged was tho murder of Police
Officer George Martin, at Carlisle, on
April Sth last. Salyards was wanted
by the authorities for burglary, and on
the night of the date named Martin,
after consultation with Assistant Bur.
CESS Faber, went to his home, took off
his policeman's uniform, donned citi-
2ehs' clothes and started out to seek for
Salyards. Martin was last seen going
up Green Lane, near the cemetery.
Later party of young men who were
lettering near the lane heard pistol
shot, and fastening in the direction of
the sound, came across Martin lying
on the roadside. He expired in
few minutes without having
spoken. Suspicion at once rested
upon Salyards, who had been seen in
the town during tho evening. He was
traced to Shippensburg, thence to
Hagerstown, Md, and finally to Win
chester, Va, where he was arrested. He
denied the charge but was taken back to
Carlisle and his trial resulted in a YER
dict of murder in the first degree. In.
etfectual appeals were made to the State
supreme court and the Board of Par
dons. Salyards was 80 years of age and
had long criminal career. He served
various terms in the Eastern Peniten.
tiary at Philadelphia and in the jails of
Cumberland, Franklin and Dauphin
counties. Salyards came from an excel
lent family. He was born and raised
near Winchester, Va, where his father,
now deceased, was a minister of the
| gospel.
