War Talk at Police Headquarters.

Nearly all the city officials are members
of the Grand Army or at least were in the
army. This applies more particularly to
the police department, so when there is a
"quiet" day in the Office "war time" is the
subject of discussion, and, as ii should be,
each of the officials is positive that he
was in the best regiment, was nearest the
front in the most battles, "stayed out" the
longest and was the best fighter. Police
Clerk Gardiner is a III tie lonesome for he Is
the only member of the 1st Rhode Island
Cavalry and the rest OF his associates have
no end of amusement with him, for they
have for years tried to persuade him into
the belief that there was no such body,
and that IL there was 1t did not amount
to much, but once In while Mr.. Gardiner
is reinforced by Captain Bliss of East
Providence, and then each will say that
the First Rhode Island Cavalry was in 56
engagements, 27 OF which were hand to
hand fights, after which Captain Bliss and
Clerk Gardiner are allowed to occupy the
office-all by themselves.

UNITARIAN CLUB.
II Was Ladies' Night at the Iroc-
adero.
"The Eternal Eastern Question" Ably
Discussed.

"The Eternal Eastern Question" was the
very timely topic chosen for discussion at
the meeting of the Unitarian Club last
eveping at the Trocsdero.
IL was "ladies' night" and the atten d.
ance was unusually large, there being
over 200 to sit down at the club dinner,
after the reception.
The after-coffee addresses were by three
people, the characteristic OF whose speak
ing is brightness and the ability to pre-
sent important facts and sound opinions
in most interesting manner.
President Joseph q. Ely Of the club in
troduced Rev. Francis Tiffany of Cam
bridge as the first speaker. Mr.. Tiffany
gave historical summary of the develop
ment and many changes of conditions In
the east beginning with the Trojan war
and coming down to the present struggle
that is once more bringing the Orient
into such prominence in the eyes OF the
rest OF the world. 1t is all a history, he
said, of tides of civilization and power
moving TO and fro. The driving back OF
tie invaders by 10000 Greeks was but an
example Of what Is now in progress.
The Western civilization hss been car
ried to he East and the effect has been
tremendous.
Thirty years ago Commodore Perry ar
rived at Japan and found an ignorant race
of heathens. Today at Toxic there Is an
university, the people have educated
themselves, and in their schools taught
the coming generations the lessons that
expose the superstitions of the past. Now
they believe themselves to be leaders, to
make a crusade of ideas is their scheme
and the first lesson is being given to the
Chinese.
Mrs. Isabel G. Bsrrows of Boston spoke
of the Armenian persecution and de-
plored the fact that Christians of this
country did not at least extend their
sympathy to fellow Christians being per-
secuted as the result of their religion.
The Armeniaps today are martyrs fully as
much as were the martyrs OF old.
Rev. William |. Lawrence, who has
recently been doing Unitarian mission
work at Toxic, said that the question is
Western as well as Eastern and involves
the civilization of the world, and it is not
eternal because God is working out the
problem in his own way and the struggle
must come to an end, and with its con-
clusion will cease the barbarism, ignor-
ance and cruelty of the Orient.
The company adjourned at 10:3O. The
annual elections will occur at the next
meeting and last night Joseph G. Johnson
was appointed auditor, and William b.
Dart, Augustus X. Pierce and l.. M. Stetely
committee on nominations.

CHICAGO, Dec 13.-At o'clock last
evening President Crane Of the Shoe and
Leather National bank of New York

bookkeeper, Samuel @. Seely, stepped into
the room. Mr. Seely reached out and took
che extended hand of President Crane.
AS the president shook Seely's hand
with the warmth of an old friend, IL was
readily seen that Seely was much af-
fected. His body trembled with emotion,
his lips quivered, and in low and stam-
mering tone OF voice he said: "Mr Crane,
! did not think you would want TO shake
hands with me-"
Mr.. Crane pushing Seely into the chair
beside him, replied in kindly tonesi
"Why, Sam, l. am glad to see you; sit
down" The door closed on the two men.
For half an hour they were closeted to-
gether.
Inspector Shea, at the request OF Mr..
Crane, then invited the newspaper report
ers In waiting TO enter the room. Mr..
Crane said: Gentlemen, from the i'm
portance of this affair, you naturally ex-
pect sorne startling developments from

Turning to soely, he sald 'Is that not

Baker and Seeiy Alone.
At the suggestion of a reporter, Presi-
dent Crane asked the question of Seely:
twas there any one else connected with
this defaleation besides Baker2'
'Thet is the man, replied Seely.
''Were there no otherss"

As to the question Of authority in the
return Of Seely TO New York, Mr.. Crane
said that it was probable that Seely would

ACQUAINTED WITH The NEGATIVES.

There is a certain young lady in town
whose profession, that OF retouching
negatives for a prominent photographer,
leads 10 ludicrous ana sometimes en-
barrassing mistakes of identity.
OF course the people whose likenesses
she works over are unknown to her, but
their faces become so familiar TO her that
when she meets the originals on the street
she is pretty certain TO bow TO them.
Some times the salute is returned, but
more often she is passed unnoticed and this
leads 10 em Embarrassing complications. She
il not quite certain whether she has been
"cut" py sn acquaintance or whether she
has the faces mixed. Then If she tries to
avoid making a faux pas she is sure to
pass some real acquaintance without
recognition, SO life is one continual round
of guessing with her.

Tho Two Alleged AssaiInnts Trying II
Slick Trick.
Yesterday officers from Belmont
county came hero to take Ben Frazier
and pudding" Lowry over tho river.
but the prisoners, who are in Jail here,
refused to 20 without requisition.
The day before brother OF Lowry's
went ont to arrange for m immediate
hearing, as he said, and afterwards
wrote to the justice that any timo he
was ready the men would accompany
him to Ohio. On this the getting OF II
requisition from Columbus wasstopped,
bnt as soon as the men refused to 90
the papers were sent for.
1t is thought the prisoners hoped only
to gain time, and expected to get
Tree on habeas corpus proceedings on
the ground OF delay.
Mallory, the third man accused OF
comsplicity in the assault on old John
Parker, when he was robbed, got writ
OF habeas corpus in Cleveland, but he
was turned over to tho deputy sheriff
and broughtto Belmont county yester.
day.
1t was said yesterday that Parke,
would die from the injuries he received.
His skull is fractured, and as no is
eighty years old, such wound mus,
prove very grave, ii not fatal.
