United States Action as to Brazil Proven

United States Action AZ to Brazil Prevent
ed European Interference.
What might have been q serious In
tcrnational complication growing out
of the Brazilian troubles is now re-
garded rs having been practically set
tied by the firm attitude of the United
States in tie matter. The sharp re-
buke q ministered to Admiral Stanton
for saluting the insurgent flag and
the ma sing of armOred cruisers
off the brazilian coast have cer-
tainiy had more important pur-
pose than the mere desire to maintain
an Indifferent neutrality between Mcllo
AMI the republican government OF
Pre- ident Peixoto or the protection OF
the private interests OF American
citizeEs. A Washington dispatch says
that Secretary Gresham was advised
some weeks ago that there was some-
thing more behind the plans of Ad-
mirai Mello than the discs n ent of q
few naval officers, and that unless
shrewd diplc macy were ed the
United States might become involved
in hostile relations with tme OF the
great European powers.
1t is well recognized by the friends
of the Brazilian Republic in this coun-
try that Admiral Mello stands for the
monarchieal element in Brazil and
that he has been endeavoring to secure
the support of some Of the great powers
in overturning the republic. Mon
archist circles in Paris and some OF the
other European capitals have been in
a tiutter OF expectancy regarding Mel
los movements, and 1t IL declared they
have been looking to the young son OF
Count d'Eu, who is the grandson of
Dom Pedro, to become the head OF the
restored empire.

to secure hidden treasure which he
buried on an island near the South
American Coast. Before the war
Henderson was sub-officer on slave
vessel making regular trips to Africa.
One day the vessel was attacked by a
United States man Of war and in Its
efforts to escape struck rock and the
crew had to take to the boats. The
captain told Henderson he had $4,000
in gold aboard, and ii he would assist
him, in secreting 1t from, the crew he
would give him half. They reached
the island and buried the gold in
cave. The captain and four of the
crew died of small pox. Two weeks
later and while trying to leave the ISL
and the boat capsized, drowning all
but Henderson and one companion, who
were picked up by q passing vessel
and carried to New Orleans. He has
lately fallen heir to alegacy Of 500, ,00o
in Philadelphia. He purchased q yes

under passport as a party OF American
excursionists to visit all the places in
the South Seas.
PHlLADELPHIA special: A decision
directly at variance with the principle
upon which the Ann Arbor Railroad
strikers and boycOtters are adjudged
conspirators at Toledo, was rendered
by Justice Dean of the Pennsylvania
Supreme Court. 1t was the case Of
George M. Cote against Hugh Murphy
and others, being an appeal from the
Common Pleas Court of Allegheny
County. The Supreme Court declares
by this decision that boycotts are legal.
In general terms the decision Is that
when trade associations boycott con-
tractors and dealers who encourage the
supplanters of strikers and when such
associations extend such u boycott
among disinterested dealers, such a
boycott is legal.
PORTLAND. Ind. special: County
Treasurer John Hayes has of late re-
ceived several whitecap letters from
Dnnkirk, and one of them states that
the band, ten in number. will visit him
either in person or by fire on the farm.
The writing was traced to a. j. Berry.
who lives at the above town. and with
whom Hayes has had some trouble in
court. When Berry found that the
grand jury was after him he offered to
settle and the affair was compromised

into the tropical wilds of the state OF
Chiapas. on the southern border OF
Mexico, such rs few women ever at.

with other adventures strange to wom-

they succeeded in securing, along with
two other parties, commission for
$4,000 acres of land at about forty
cents an acre, plus the expense of sur

GLOBE THEATER BURNS.
HOston's Famous Play-HOu Prey to
Flames for the Second Time.


Flames for the second Time.
Fire at Boston originating In the
Globe Theater. Monday night, caused
tho destruction Of the theater and
nearly all the other buildings In the
square bounded by Washington and
Essex streets, Hayward place and Har-
risen avenue. TIE total damage is not
known, but will reach into the millions.
The fire was discovered in the coat
room OF the theater, and in fifteen
minutes the entire building was In
flames. The building II SO located that
it was impossible for the tirenen to
enter it, or to reach the flames except
On one side, and in the rear was an
old section filled with old buildings
which would go very quickly II once
ignited. Acr; ss the street from the
theater arc three large hotels, and
almost lanfc existed among the
GU SIS, FIR at this point Washington
street is net more than forty feet
wide. snd the heat from the thea
ter fire was intense. Fifty fire engines
poured water upon the flames, but SO
hard was the fire to get at that no per-
ccptible eject could be seen. At 2:l0
there were five explosions of consider
able fo. ee, which scattered the embers
OF the fire skyward and threw down the
wall between the theater and the store
next south toward Essex street. The
whole block seemed doomed, and In
five minutes the square bounded by
Hayward place, Essex street, and Har-
rison avenue was u solid mass OF
flames.
The theater building covers 1880
square feet Of land. In this square
there are fifteen buildings besides the
Globe Theater on Washington street.
The explosions were caused by the
calcium tanks in the theater. At
o'clock the fire wds put under control
by the falling of great party wall
which served to smother the furnace
within the sluare. There was still
the danger Of the explosions, but
anxiety wa so nallayed in that respect.
There is not a building of the dozen or
more in the square that is unin-
iurea ard with only three or four ex-
ceptions not even the walls will be
saved. Among the largest losers by
the fire are the Bryant & Stratton

THE INDIAN TERRITORY.

Crime and Lawlessness.
Gov. Fishback, OF Arkansas, has pub
lished an open letter to President
Cleveland re:ative to the condition of
affairs in the indian Territory. The
Governor believes they are such as to
cause the gravest alarm, and that they
may result disastrously to all the States
in the Mississippi valley. He believes
the Territory to be very hot-bed OF
crime and lawlessness and the rallying
place for all the desperadoes in the
country. He says "a very large per-
centage of the bank and train robber-
les which take place in the West are
organized or originate in tho Indian
Territory. During the past
twelve months there have issued from
the States of Arkansas, Texas, Kansas
and Oklahoma Territory sixty-one
acquisitions upon Indian Territory au-
thorities for fugitives."
Another evil which Gov. Fishback
thinks is due to the evil doers who
flock to the Territory is the demorali-
zation Of the Indians. Assoc, ,atlng
with criminals, they themselves, In
short time, become wholly corrupted
and ready for any lawless act. Finally
Mr.. Fisbbaek says this state Of things
suggests the very terious que :tion
whether the time has not arrived for
the Federal Government TO assert its
right cf eminent domain over this
portion OF the national territory"

necessaries of life. The Christian has
no right to merely bestow money or
goods upon one in distress, but is bound
to consider the manner of bestowing.
In that beautiful lesson in true charity
The Vision Of SIR LGUntaL--Lowell
makes the mendicant leper, when Sir
Launfal had
"Tossed him piece Of gold in scorn"
exclaim:
'That is not true aims which the hand can
hold;
He gives nothing but worthless gold
Who gives from sense of duty"
And, after awhile, when Sir Lanfaul
had learned at last his lesson, the poet
makes our blessed Master say:
"Not what we give, but what we share,
For the gift without the giver Is bare;
Who gives himself with bis aims feeds three
Himself, his hungry neighbor, and me-"
The charity" which st. Paul puts
above faith and hope is not mere aims
giving, but the generous feeling of hu-
man solidarity; the feeling that every
human being is a member of the same
household Of God.
On the other hand, what misery does
the folly of vain "selfrespect" cause to
people in distressP From infancy we
are taught to conceal our poverty, and
to keep up appearances" even though
we be perishing Of hunger. All about
the sufferer are goOd-hearted people,
who would gladly relieve his necessi-
ties were they frankly revealed; but no
one dares offer assistance unasked, lest
his brotherliness give offense. We are
taught to look upon poverty-destitu-
tion-as disgTaceful, and to accept re-
lief because 1Ce actually need it, is re-
garded as degrading. Many suffer in
deepest poverty, some even die Of want,
rather than confess their condition,
when that confession would bring in
stant and eager assistance. No one
should lose any time in getting rid of
this false notion Of independence"
1t is as wicked to suffer thus in secret
as it is to let another die unaided from
a bountiful store. proud" poverty
needs the feeling of human brother
hood quite as much as uncharitable
wealth. No one will hesitate to tell
his true condition to his own brother,
nor to accept that brothers aid, and if
we really felt that all men are our
brothers, would we not show the same
frankness to all, and accept without a
sense Of shame relief from any hand?
