Norman L. Munroe, the publisher, died
in New York Saturday after an operation

of poor Nova Scotia farmer. At the age
of 25 he came to New York TO seek his for
tune. After working a few years as a
printer he started the Family Story Paper,
which proved great success. Mr.. Munroe
afterward started the cheap library editions
of popular novels, and built up large pub
fishing business. He owned several yachts,
his aim being TO have the finest in each
class. His yacht Norwood has a record of
80 miles an hour. Mr.. Munroe leave a for
tune estimated at from 5000, 600 to SO,
100000 1t is a singular fact that his
young son, aged IL years, was operated ON
for appendicitis only few days before the
father was taken i'll with the same disease.
Mrs. Myra Bradwell, who recently died
in Chicago at the age of 63 years, was the
first woman in the United States to apply
for admittance TO the bar. 1t is now agreed
that 1t was her action in contesting the adj
verse decision of the lower courts in up
ward stages until she reached the supreme
court Of the United States, that was chiefly
instrumental in opening future for women
in the practice of law. Many women were
admitted to the bar, however, before Mrs.
Bradwell took advantage of the liberty she
had gained for them. Mrs. Bradwell was
born in Manchester, this state, but went to
Chicago at the age of ~ years. In 1852
she married James X. Bradwell, young

Alaskan IadIans Dying Out.

"The government will never have to
seek a solution for the Indian question in
Alaska" said Capt. r. d. Bell of that ter
ritory. "By the time it will be necessary
for the Indian to make way for the white
man, there will be no Indians left to make
way. Disease and bad whiskey are cleaning
them out at a great rate. During the eight
years have been in Alaska the decrease
in native population has been noticeably
large-so large, in fact, thai l am inclined TO
the opinion that ten years hence an Alas
kan Indian will be curiosity. This is
strange, too, in face of the fact that they
take more readily to civilization than any
other aborigines on the North American
continent. They are hard workers and
hard drinkers. Liquor has ruined them
physically, so that they are no longer able
to stand elemental severity. Portland

A Report on the Proposed Inter-COnti-
mental Railroad.

William +. Skunk of Harrisburg, Pa,
who had charge of the survey of the pro
posed inter-continental railway to connect
the three Americas, has practically COM
pleted his report of his operations, which
will soon be submitted to the commission
which employed him, with financial aid
from each of the associated republics in
proportion to their population. Mr.. Skunk
saws that, leaving out the incidental and
alternative work, the length of the road
necessary to connect New York with
Buenos Ayres appears to be 1900 miles,
which length could probably be reduced to
1000 miles before the beginning of con-
stIuction. The cost of grading, masonry
and bridges would approximate $50, 900 per
mile. The cost per mile complete and
ready for service, inclusive of single
track, sidings, buildings, machinery, roll
ing stock and sundries, may be set down at
$50, 600 or $500, 000, 900 for the whole work.
The estimate is in American gold, and is
what the work would cost in this country
if skilfully located, honestly built, and
wisely administered.
The region to be traversed parts natur-
ally into two grand divisions, each 2OOC
miles long, both of them tropical as TO lati'
tude, but the southern for the most part
temperate In climate because of its elevA'
ton above the sea. The northern division
lies along the Pacific slope, from Tehuan'
tepec to the bay of San Miguel, across the
Isthmus, thence to the river Atrato, ant
ascends the Sucio, an afiiuent of that river
to the vicinity of Antiquoia. The south
ern division ascends the valley of Canc'
river for 300 miles, and thence forward oc
cupies an upland ranging from 1000 to II,
600 feet above the sea. The country to b.
traversed by the proposed road is, as
whole, thinly populated. Some reaches o
it would pay from the outset; others, il
the wilderness, or competitive with waite
transport, must await development

Prominent Personals.

Harry G.. Dewing, the newly appointed
deputy collector and inspector of customs,

Carl c. Fletcher, a st. Johnsbury boy who
has been employed ON the Rutland Herald,
New York World and Burlington Free
Press, has taken Mr.. Dewing's place on
the editorial staff of the St. Adams Mes
senger.
Six of the present members of the United
States senate have served in the cabinet.
Don Cameron is first in the order of
cabinet service, having been secretary Of
war under General Grant. John Sherman
was secretary of the treasury under Presi-
dent Hayes. William +. Chandler of New
Hampshire was secretary of the navy, and
Henry NJ. Teller of Colorado secretary of
the interior in the administration of Pres-
dent Arthur. Mr.. Proctor of Vermont
was secretary of war under Harrison, and
William f. Villas of Wisconsin was both
postmaster general and secretary of the
interior at different times in President
Cleveland's first administration.
Thrown into the courtliest circle of
Europe out of a small Vermont city,
Edward j. Phelps surprised Europe by
his tact, his dignity and his charming and
polished address, says a writer in the New
York Press who met Mr.. Phelps in social
circles in London. Succeeding, as he did,
James Russell Lowell, the most popular
American in English society, and with nc
previous knowledge of the etiquette and
ceremonial of official life, he nevertheless
captivated the diplomats with his wit anC
learning, and society generally by hi
courtliness and hospitality. He made moi
one mistake. His public addresses wer'
models of good taste. His official dutie
were discharged in a manner to challeng
respect for his country. His social lif
was irreproachable.

No More Bonds Needed at Present.

No further issue of bonds will be neces-
sary, in the opinion of most of the treasury
officials, to maintain an adequate general
balance. The debt statement for the LIST
of March shows loss during the month of
about 800, 600, but the balance will be
not much below $13S, 900, 900, the point at
which it stood on Saturday. No loss would
have been shown during February but for
the payment of sugar bounties and other
accumulated obligations, for which funds
were not sufficient until after the increase
of the balance by the sale of the five per
cent bond.

to the United States, stated Sunday that
his government had received information
from Germany that it was almost sure that
the international conference would convene
again, with better chances of favorable re-
suits. Mr.. Romero said that il this infor-
nation should prove incorrect, it was likely
that there would be convened a conference
of the states using silver as money, among
which all the Latin-Amercan states would
be included, as well as some Eastern ma.
tions, in order to study the question and
come to an agreement on the subject.

CATHEDRAL MISSION
Being Attended Daily by Two Thousand
Women.


A very large number of people gath
cred last night at the Cathedral 1t is
supposed the number reached 1,SO0. A
new experiment was tried. The pews
are made to accommodate five persons.
Yesterday six were placed in every pew,
except those in which sat one or more
who already naturally occupied two
seats Camp chairs, two deep, were
placed 10 each aisle. Half an hour be
fore the hour for service to commence
the church was filled.
At the Eve O'Clock service Rev. Father
Clark spoke Of the sorrow for our sins,
which is required for good confession;
at eight o'clock, Rev. Father Tounan
spoke on the same topic.
At the evening service the lecture
was on the necessity Of an intallible
teacher in religion. Father Clark, who
is convert to the Catholic Church, de-
livered this discourse. he displays an
admirable knowledge of the Bible in
his lectures and sermons. The regular
mission sermon was by Rev. Father
Burke. His subject was Hell" His
delivary is powerful and very forcible.
He explained and pictured this place
as ii is described in various parts Of
the Bible, and then drew very powerful
conclusions.
The usual number OF hymns were
sung by the congregation.

day Night.
The story of a rather sensational at
tempt at suicide by hanging, which &C.
Cured Sunday night, has just leaked
out 1t seems a driver for a we'll
known firm OF the South Side, and
married woman went out Sunday night
TO have a time. After making the
rounds of a number OF resorts they
started up Twenty street. This
is the last known of them until about
II o'clock, when well-known mill man
aud his spouse were aroused from their
slumbers by the woman, who said the
teamster had tried to commit suicide
and was then hanging from the rafters
in a stable near by.
A gentleman happening along just
then, his services were solicited, and
with the mill mems assistance the team
ster was cut down, very little the worse
for the attempt he had made 10 end his
existence. 1t only took few minutes
for him to thoroug hlyrecover when he
and the woman started off down Twenty
ninth street together. Neither the man
nor the woman with him would say a
word as to the reason suicide had been
attempted, but as the man was intoxi-
Gated ii is supposed he did it while
temporarily deranged by the excessive
amount OF LIQUOR consumed.
