OH! THOSE HooDLER5.

 NEW ORLEANS GRAND JURY AGAIN DOES
 GOOD WORK.
 NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 31-After indict- ing eleven members of the city council, in- cluding it's pres ident anu city engineer, he term of the grand jury expired today, and it was discharged by Judge Noise. after presenting a report which is most seath- ing denun citation of the crookedness ram- pant Tn the city ball, and explains why several indictments which were expected could not be found, owing to the inability to get evidence on which q conviction in the court would be certain to follow.
 The first subject treated of is the case of the railroad franchises by the city council for ridiculously low prices. Investigation of the books of the New OrleauS Traction company, which now owns nearly all of the street car lines in the city, shows re- markable discrepancies. For instance, there is the sale of the extension of the franchise of the New Orleans City and Lake railroad, for which the city rec ived $700, coo. The traction company's books show that $500, GOO was paid to Henry Bier, the broker. besides a commission Of $50, 900. The books of MT. Bier do not show where the extra S100, ,000 wentto, and he could not produce his ledger, as he said it had been lost.
 The traction company's books show the disappearance of S65 ,000, which was paid to Maurice J. Hart, who is the manager ot the Itoosetta Gravel company, and who Is supposed to have engineered the railroad deals through the council. The gravel company's books does not show any en- tries of these checks.
 AS to contracts, the report refers to the jail contract and recites all the crookedness connected with it. A deal which failed to go through in connection with this con- tract was said to have netted the members of the special committee of the council $5000.
 Favored legislation in the interest of 8 certain paving contractor is strongly con- mented on, tut there WAS no possibility of getting at sufficient evidence to indict for bribery. The fact that not one member of the city council responded to the request of the grand jury to assist in exposing crook edness is cited, and the newIgarbage scheme is vigorously denounced.
 Franchises granted to the Illinois Central railroad are shown to have been given re- gardless of the public interests.
 Two indictments for bribery acco ompanied the report. One was against Councilman Dan A. Mayer and the other against Alder man John M. Clark. The former was charged with feloniously and corrupt'y proposing to receive a bribe from Mar cisse Lucas for steam boiler privilege in the saw mill at the corner of Marias and St.. Ferdinand streets on December 6, 1892.
 The indictment against Clark was for rr- ceiving a bribe from W. B. Vardell, cl k of the National Rice Mill Engine company on September 12, 1892, for fiYoring n ordinance giving the company permission to lay pipe from it's mill to the river. Mayer has been indicted before, but this ia the first indictment against Clark. He is the representative from the Ninth ward.

The different ideas held by people of different conditions of life are amusingly illustrated by the unexpected responses sometimes received by those whose desire to do good leads them to step across the boundary line of wealth and poverty.

Mrs. Celia Parker WooIIey's Career Now
 elist, Editor, Lecturer and Minister.
 One of the most brilliant women preach CTS in the country is Mrs. Celia Parker Woolley, who accepted the pastorate of 8 church in Geneva, Ills, in September, 1893, and has since been delivering ehle and eloquent sermons, many of which deal with the topics of the hour. Mrs. Woolley was born in Ohio, but removed to Cold. water, Mich, at an early age. She waa graduated from the Coldwater seminary in 1866, and in 1868 became the wife of Dr. J. H. Woolley. Mrs. Woolley had been for some time of literary and theological turn of mind, and when her husband re- moved to Chicago in 1876 sho began con tributing prose and verse to various publi- cations.
 For eight years she was correspondent of a Boston religious paper, and in 1890 she became assistant editor of a similar publication in Chicago. Love and The ology," novel from her pen, attracted considerable attention and was classed by many critics with the better known novels of Mrs. Ward, Olive Schreiner and Mar garet Deland. Since tho issue of her first novel Mrs. Woolley has published several others which have won fair need of pop ularity.
 Mrs Woolley was not content however, to limit her theological output to fiction, and she soon entered the ministry. Her work has attracted such attention that ov-

 branohcd out in the eoasting trade for himself, and in 1884, whom the Australian crops failed, he and his brother extended their operations to South America. When Sir George and his family arrived at Con cepcion, Chile, thero was war between Chile and Peru and Spain, and the harbor was blockaded but Sir George sailed straight into the harbor despite Q hail of shot and shell from the ockading fleet.
 Soon thereafter Sir George declined to pay the costs in libel suit and remained 8 year in the debtors department of Dar- linghurst iail, where ladies decorated his cell with flowers and 3,500 people visited him. He had lathe on which he turned beautiful cup, which he presented to the colonial secretary, Sir Henry Parks. After 12 months of prison life Sir George paid his costs and left tho jail.
 Sir George is feet inches tall and is built in proportion. He has been married 88 years and has 15 children. In 1874, after having made fortune in trade, he turned his attention to politics and was elected to the New South Wales legislative assembly, In 1885 he acted as first colo. nial secretary and premier, and since then he has several times held the premiership His ministry resigned recently, but Sir George will doubtless be prominently in evidence again before long He is very practical man and enjoys working in his little blaoksmlth sl1op as heartily as Glad stone enjoyed wood chopping at Hawar, den.
