MARDI GRAs FESTIVITIES
The Crescent City Completely Given
 Over to Mirth and Merriment.

NEW ORLEANS, LA, Feb. 6.-The Mardi Gras festivities reached a eli max today, and the Crescent City is completely given over to mirth and revelry. The weather is beauti- ful, the arrangements have moved like eloek-work and nothing has oc- cured to mar the joyousness of the occasion. At an early hour crowds began to flock from all directions to the central portion of the city, and long before noou the upper portion of Canal street as well as the stret ts diverging and over which the pro- eession was to pass, were simply blocked with spectators. At noon the head of the Rex parade made it's appearance at tie Clay statue and was enthusiastically received by the populace. His Majesty was seated upon a gold-emhlazoned throne, and repeatedly bowed his aeknowledg- 1nents of the homage of his faithful suo!Setc- 1hS Ife'iouC Soib piioCu twenty magnificent tableaus, and exeelled in picturesque and artistic effects all previous efforts in that di- reetion. It occupied several hours in passing a given point, the progress being slow owing to the immense crowds. When dusk falls the mystic Krewe of Comos will take possession of the city. and hilarity will reign supreme. The Rex ball at the I'm perial Palace tonight will exceed its predecessors in brillianey, while the krewe of Comos after having sur rendered possession of the streets will wind up the carnival with q bal
 at the French Opera house.

A CHURCH ROW.
Catholic Circles in Lincoln, Neb., Stirred up Over a Criminal Libel Suit Be-
 tween Priest and Bishop.

LINCOLN. NEB., Feb 6,-The case of Bishop Bonacum, who was arrested last week on d charge of criminal libel preferred by Father Corbett, of Palmyra, will come up in the local court this afternoon for preliminary hearing. Feeling runs high among the Catholic clement, and it is proba- bic that the hearing will cconducted with closed doors. Some time ago Father Corbett preferred charges against the Bishop to Mgr. Satolli, but the latter manifested no inclina- tion to give immediate attention to the matter, and the priest therefore decided to avail himself of the ordi- nary judicial procedure. The charges upon which the arrest was made is based on letter sent to the parish toners of Father Corbett at Palmyra while the priest was absent in St. Louis. The adherents of the church are about equally divided between the Bishop and the priest.

YREKA, CAL, May 14,-It is expected
the grand jury will today bring indict-
ments accusing George Decker, a
wealthy rancller, of the murder of his
wife, Margaret Decker, and Nevada
Decker. babe, 81 years ago, and Rosie
Stone, a granddaughter, about eight
years ago. Ten murders are laid to
Decker's door, as well as other foul and
unnatural crimes committed at various
times throughout the last 30 years.
Several of these murders are susceptible
of proof, others are based on suspicion
more or less we'll founded, though in
some cases it amounts to moral cer-
tainty. Besides the three named the
list comprises. Edward Stone, who was
Decker's second wife's son-in-law; Ben
jimin Decker, son of Caroline Good
rich Decker, his second wife; a 4-year-
old son of Edward Stone; hired man
in Sacramento valley, name unknown,
and a man in Illinois, name unknown, /,
Decker killed his first wife and child in
1867, butchering them with his own
hand and burying their bones on top OF
high ridge. Their discovery short
time ago. crystalized the belief prevalent
for some time that he was guilty OF
manv astrocities, and led to his arrest.
After his first wife's death he married a
widow named Goodrich and lived with
her over 20 years, and is believed to
have gotten rid of her family in 1890 by
poison. He disposed of one child who
bothered him IN 1896. The murder in
Illinois is said to have been committed
before he came west, and the other in
Sacramento valley after his arrival.
His varions relatives were killed because
they stood in the way of his gratifying
his desires, or knew of his crimes.

APRIL FOOL DAY.
Uncertainty Regarding the Origin of the
Custom OF Playing Tricks.


Uncertainty Regarding the Origin of the
Custom of Playing Tricks.
The custom of sending one on boot
less errand or otherwise "April fool
ing" him on the first day of that month
is very ancient: yet it cannot truthfully
be said that anyone is equal to the
task of tracing it to its origin. Some
antiquarlans profess to believe it q
survival of the travesty of sending the
Saviour hither and thither, first from
Annas to Caiaphas and then to PLATE
and Herod. The opinionis strengthened
by the fact that during the middle
ages that very scene in Christ's life
was made the subject of one of the
Easter Miracle Plays" enacted on the
chief streets of London and other Eng
lish cities of the first class. Even
though the above opinion has received
the sanction of Brande, Moore and
Hone, it is not at all unlikely that it is
really relic of some old heather fes-
tiyal, such as the Hull festival of the
Hindoos or the Roman ''Feast of
Fools.'' The custom, whatever it's orr
gin, of playing tricks and pranlSs of all
kinds on the first day of April is
universal throughout Europe, and is
also practiced in many other countries
and under various names. It is curl
Gus fact that the Hindoo Hull festival,
where April fool tricks of all sorts are
played, is held on the night of the 31st
of March, and the orgies are not dis
continued until sunrise on the morn
ing Of April 1.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
The Coxeyites Deserving and Coxey Dis
couraged--Tariff Changes.
a our Regular Correspondent.

WASHINGTON, May IL, 1894.
Jacob Scared Coxey is today the pro-
per name of the leader of the widely
advertised '.commonweal army" He
now fully realizes that the conviction of
himself, Browne and Jones in the police
court leaves it in the discretion of the
judge of that court whether he shall
serve a sentence in Jail, for the applica-
ton for new trial is certain to be de-
MED, and pending attempts to get the
case before higher court sentence will
be pronounced and enforced. The law
which they were convicted of having
Violated provided either fine or impris--
onment, or both, as the judge may de-
eide. It is believed that Coxey would
now gladly promise to take himself and
his army out of Washington if thereby
he can keep himself out of jail. Indeed.
the populist representative, Hudson, of
Kansas was one OF the volunteer coun-
sci at the trial, tried to get him hole
to crawl out of by stating that Coxey
and his army intend to leave Washing
ton as soon as he can get hearing be-
fore either senate or house committee
in favor of his bills, and that he has no
afhliation with other so-called common
veal armies now on the way to Wash
ington. Coxey afterwards denied that
Hudson was, authorized to say so much.
1t is nip. and tuck between hunger and
the health officials as to which ehall
succeed in scattering the Coxeyites.
The falling off in contributions has
brought the men still in camp down to
two rather scanty meals day, and the
health officials want the camp broken
up as a sanitary measure, and have
given Coxey 48-hour notice, which ex-
pires tonight, to put the camp in sani-
tary condition-an mpossibility-or re-
move the men therefrom. Desertions
by wholesale are going on, and unless
the food supply is increased the army"
cannot be held together another week.
Coxey got a short hearing before the
house committee on la Dor, but only sue
ceetied in making an ass of himself.
Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island thus
sums up the result of the democratic
tariff concessions: "There are 4O9
amendments to the tariff bill, and an
analysis of them shows some curious re-
cults. Three hundred and twenty eight
of them show an increase in the rates,
ranging from III, to 300 per cent. But
six of these amendments reduce duties
and two of these are on rice and two on
oDium. The remaining changes are
chiefly in the phraseology OF the bill or
the transfer from the free to the dutia-
BILE list. Another notable fact is that in
nearly every case where these increases
were made the change wasalso made
from ad valorem to specific duties. Ii
these increases had been made with re-
gard to the requirements OF the different
industries from a protective standpoint,
the bill would have been compara-
lively goot one, but they were evidently

OPIUM SMOKING.
The Operation Described by One Who

The Operation Described by One Who
Has Witnessed 1t.
ssOf course, everybody has heard of
opium being smoked, but doubt if
the majority of people know just how
it is done,'' said a Chicagoan recently.
1.-The smoker lies curled on couch
with an opium lamp close by, the
flame of which is protected by glass
shade, low enough for the point of
the flame to protect little over the
top. The smoker takes little wire
and dips it into box of prepared
opium. called dope A small quantity
adheres to the tip of the wire,
which is then held over the.
flame of the lamp, until by
the heat it is swollen to several
times its original size. This is then
rolled over and over on the fiat side of
the clay bowl, the opium all the while
adhering to the wire. When it has
been rolled into a soft, solid mass it is
again applied to the flame, and this al
ternate roasting and rolling is kept up
for seven or eight .inutes, by which
time the pill is ready for use The
bowl in the pipe is so small that it can
only receive the smallest quantity of
the drug. and the most careful manip-
ulation is required to transfer the tiny
ball Of opium from the end of the wire
to the bowl of the pipe. After being
lit sputteriDg noise ensues as the
smoker draws at the pipe. After each
whiff he elects the smoke from his
nose and mouth. By the end of the
fifth or sixth draw the pipe is empty,
and the operation is repeated until the
smoker sinks away into dreamland.' .
