GEN. BOOTH AT CHICAGO.
He Puts in . busy Day in the Western
Metropolis.

CHICAGO, Nov. 23.-General William
Booth, the founder and commander-in-
chief of the Salvation Army who has
been making tour of sixty or seventy of
the largest cities in the United States in
the interests of the army, arrived in Chi
cago yesterday and will remain till some
time next week. His tour is largely
evangclistic in character, although he
is making n thorough investigation of the
status and method of the army in Amer
lea. He has already visited almost all
the greater eastern cities and came to Chi
cago from Saginaw, Mich. He is ac-
companied by his son, Marshal Ballington
Booth, and quite "a staff of officers He
found that a busy day was awaiting him
mere.
The first meeting he attended was at the
Press club, where he gave II brief history
of the army and the progress it has made.
The general spoke thus of the army's posi-
ton toward capital and labor: ''Our add
vice to capital is concede all you can. to
the workmen bear all you can. Then
when 1t comes to strike and consequent
distribution we feed and comfort the UNI
fortunates. ] have been asked to sug-
gcst a remedy to stop strikes. Well, take
your surplus men away from where they
are not needed and place them where there
is employment to be found. Then again
take the land question. ] believe by
systematic and scientific handling the sur
plus population of the cities could be
transpiantcd to the country and in time
you would have contented and prosper
Gus peasantry"

Last Expiring Gasp Of Monarchy.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-Minister Men
donca Of Brazil says the report that the
rebel adm iral, Soldenia Da CANA. has as
stunned the leadership of 900 rebels against
the new government of President Moraes
is the last expiring gasp of monarchy in
Brazil The minister has not received of
fetal confirmation of the report, but he
says that if il is true il will be IA good
thing for the government The latter had
been disposed to treat Da CANA and other
rebels with leniency, and there was pros
poets of general amnesty to them. In that
case they would have returned TO Rio
Janeiro to resume their monarchial
plots. But with Da Cana an open rebel
he can be more easily dealt with then rs a

Washington Court House.


Washington Court House.
COLUMBUS, o.. Nov. 23.-Lieutenant
Oyler, who ordered troops ut Washington
Court House to fire in accordance with or
ders OF Colonel Colt in given contingency,
testified ncourt of inquiry to the batter
ing OF the doors by the mob with stones
and other things. A shot fired by n per-
son outside was followed by a cry IAN to-
gether, and n terrific blow opened the
south door four feet, when he gave the COM
mand Fire. After one volley he gave the
command Cease firing" The door at
this moment was open but few inches.
having been closed considerably by the
force or weight of the barricades
Neither the witness nor his men were
intoxicated. They had no opportunity TO
get into such condition. Witness had
drank glass of beer Immediately after
dinner The firing was at night. He was
confident the mob was determined upon
getting in. A line of soldiers outside,
around the building, would have been
weak and easily overcome. The witness
said such a defense would have been
ldiotic. He saw at least fifty revolvers in
the crowd in the afternoon. Colonel Colt
and Major Speaks were not Intoxicated.
The persons outside did not run when the
door gave way. Riot shells containing
shot could not have been used, not being
fitted to the rife of the o. n. G..
G. T. Page, dentist at Washington
Court House, testified that in the evening
he heard the crowd warned by an officer in
the window OF the court house.

The detective marked them down ut this
hotel, took the clerk into his confidence
and learning tina; the couple owed doc
tors bill got the doctor to let him have
the bill to collect. BY this means he got
an introduction to Mrs. Holmes" He
also collected the bill from Holmes. The
detective thus describes the woman: "Of
medium height. with wei -tlevelopcd fig
ure, big brown eyes, light hair. and what
I would call u baby face. She did not
seem to know u great deal" The next time
he met Holmes that worthy was in an in
surnnce Office trying to collect insurance
money under the name Of Campbell.
The detective had him detained willie
he went to the Plaza hotel land called on
Minnie Williams. In "a short time had
secured from her complete admission of
the fraudulent character of the fire and
had secured the insurance papers. When
this was done my work was at an end. -
Ii Is believed that it was this attempt to
collect fraudulent insurance that drove
the swindler out of Chicago.
Holmes marriages arc so numerous that
II Is hard to keep the run of them. Under
the name of Howard he married Miss
Georgia Yoke. of Franklin, Ind; the mar
riage took place in Denver and seems to
have been u real marriage. The peculiar
feature of the marriage Is that Minnie Will.

Holmes says he is not dead. and that he
will hear from him soon. 1t is asserted
that Pitzcl was seen In this city two

Of His wife, and In Ignorance Of His
Real Chsrscter-The Young Lady Found
ut Omaha - Another Chapter Out Of
Holmes Life Ut Chicsgo-Pitzel Possibly
Not Dead.
CHICAGO, Nov. 23-It has been found
that ii. II. Holmes l. not guilty of one
murder. Miss Kate Durfee is in the land
Of the living and perfectly willing to let
the world know what she knows Of the
great swindlcr. The lady lives mt Omaha
with her brother, who is the assistant audi
tor of the Burlington railway. A telegram
from Omaha gives tie following: Miss
Durkcc says that she only knows Holmes
through his wife, with whom she was init
mate In her childhood. She had visited
Mrs. Holmes frequently in Chicago, and
during one of her visits the real estate
deal which brought her into prominence
was enacted. This was about four
years ago. Holmes asked Miss Durkee
as n favor to allow him To transfer his
city property to her He said that Us he
was situated mt the time it would DE u
great convenience. Miss Durkcc consented
without asking questions.
II Was Only u "sIattcr of Form
"Hc explained at the time that 1t was
only "a matter Of form, and being ignorant
of business affairs she accepted his state
mcnt rs being true The property was
decided to her and she never had the deed
recorded. she was made Use of as intcrmedi-
AIRY and custodian in some other matters
that had no sign Of crookedncss in them,
sition taken by Chicago lawyers, who said
IL had gone out that she was IA myth
After the transfer ot the property to her
Miss Durkec was summoned To Omaha by
telegraph on account Of the sudden illness
of her brother. and she left without an OPP
portunity to explain her unexpected de-
parturr. This, she believes, i, the cx-
PLANTATION of the theory that she was muir
dcred. last August Miss Durkec again
went to Chicago. Holmes was out of the
city. and she wa, told by Mrs Holmes that
ne had gone to Philadelphia to attend to
some business regarding an insurance
case. Miss Durkee says she is almost sure
that the name mentioned was Pitzcl, and
that Holmes went in behalf of Mrs Pit
zcl"

ism and Apaism, tho admirers and sup-
porters OF Sims will. turn out in large
numbers. Though Donnelly ia not an
accredited representative Of Catholicism
he is sure to defend the old church. and
members in q brilliant manner, and
consequently he will likely be greeted by
an enthusiastic audience Of those who
are maligned and misrepresented by his
opponent. It is to be hoped that the en-
counter between the gladiators will not
lead to disturbance. Catholics who at
tend the entertainment should remem-
Der that while Sims is peripatetic
champion Of Apaism, Donnelly is not q
recognized authority on the Catholic
Church and is alone responsible for his
utterances. 1t would be folly, therefore,
for Catholics to shower vociferous ap
plause upon the self-constituted advo'
cate of their Church while vigorously
Kissing the revilipgs of his opponent in
debate. The IRISH STANDARD again re-
quests it's Catholic readers to maintain
the character they have established in
this community for law and order and
not allow their "angry passions rise" while
attending the discussion.

Go LIGHTLY MORRILL, is veritable
poltroon and noisy boaster. He has been
lately prancing around as the fearless
champion of Orangeism and anti Catho-
lie bigotry, and threatening to annihilate
Ignatius Donnelly if he could meet that
gentleman in debate on the A. p. A.
question. The Sage of Nininger heard
of the ''fee, faw, fum' of the Baptist
bigot, and instructed his agent to chal-
lenge the little demagogue to verbal
encounter. Go-Lightly declined to meet
him, saying he was too busy for public
controversy. The notorious pastor of
Calvary church finds it much easier and
pleasanter to assail his neighbors in bic
desecrated pulpit or in an Orange lodge
than on a public platform where he
would be confronted by an able antagon-
ist like Donnelly.

LORD Cork has been appointed "mas-
ter of the horse" by Queen Victoria at a
salary of $4,000 a year. During his
term of office he will have the privilege
Of using the royal carriages, the royal
liveries and the royal servants, and can
drive around in royal state with Lady
Cork by his side. Lord Cork and his
wife are intimate friends of MIR. and Mrs.
Waldorf Aston, the denationalized Amer
leans who prefer monarchy to repub-
lie, and it is supposed that the master
and mistress of the equine will give the
use of Vic's rigs to their America n
chums to ride in around the streets of
the modern Babylon. Lord and Lady
Cork are Irish Home Rulers, and for
that reason we do not grudge them their
grand equipages, nor the Fat salary at
tached to the Office of the royal equery.
