OUT OFF FUNDS.
No Federal Court will Be Held at NH waukee Because the Funds Are
 Not Forthcoming.

MLwAFKBE, WIs., March 6.-The criminal term of the United States court for this district should have commenced today, but. for the first time in the history of the Federal legal machinery, the wheels of justice are unable to reyolve for the reason that the necessary funds are not forthcoming. There are some twenty five persons awaiting trial, and they will have 10 remain in prison until some action is taken by Congress in the way of voting deficiency ap- propriation. This, at least, is the altimatam of Attolney-General 0lney. who has informed Marshal Wisweli that the appropriation for the pay of witnesses for 1891 is ab- solutelY exhausted. So also is the appropriation for the maintenance of Federal prisoners in the different penal institutions of the country.

 It now becomes more evident that Anderson is mule thief. Policeman Smith is in fair way to be relieved of his cheap mule. Ii hardly pays to have dealings with astrange "nigger' and strange mule

PAYMENT POSTPONED.
The Worlds Fair Stockholders win Wait
 Awhile for Their Dividends.

CHICAGO, March G.-The payment
 of dividend to Worlds Fair stock
 holders has again been postponed and the indications fnow are that the $1 ,250,O00 that have been avail. able for this purpose since the gates or Jackson Park were closed on Oc- tober 3l will remain locked up in the banks, instead of being put into cir culation, for at least two months. The reason now assigned for this ac- ton Is that the members of the Board of Directors are scattered, many of them now being enjoying tfIps III Europe and the Holy Land. and others takingin the sights of the California Midwinter Exposition. \ full meeting of the Board is necessary III order to declare a dividend, and hence the minority still in the city is powerless to act. While the distfi- ut1on of the fund would amount to more than 10 per cent. of the capital stock, it would be d boon to thousands of poor people who be- camo stockholders when the loeal enthusiasm that preceded the Worlds Fair was at it height, and many of whom are now in need of q dollar

RESISTED ARREST.
Two arn at Redaold Create a sensation.

Assistant Prosecuting Attorney [ Tom Hardison, who returned last
 night from business trip to Red
 field, reports an occurrencein Esquire Davis court in that place yester
 day that created considerable ex.
 citement.
 It seems that some of the good citizens of RedGcld are getting mp an entertainment for the purpose of using the proceeds in erecting a school building. A few nights ago while they were practicing for the entertaihm,nt several parties in- terrnpted their proceedings by climbingup at the windows, rattling the doors and throwing rocks and sticks on top of the building To say the least of il, the annoyance was very provoking. and had it occurred only once nothing perhaps would have been said or done about il, but the perpetrators continued the dis tufbance night after night. Com plaint was made to the officers and yesterday when Esquire Davis had concluded some case he had for dis posal, warrants of arrest were is sued for two brothers named Mer- berger, charged with disturbing the peace as mentioned above.
 It SD happened that these men were then in the court room of the Justice of the Pea.e and the war rants were then and there served upon them.
 They demanded trial immediately but the State claimed that it was not ready for trial and asked the Esquire to set the hearing of the same for Saturday next requiring the Merber9er Bros. to give bond for One of the parties therenpon said:
 Il demand trial right now" In reply the Assistant Prosecuting At torney stated that the State wasnot ready for trial; then said one of the Merbergers:
 "IiH be G-d d. if I'll sign the bond;" whereupon Esquire Davis said to him:
 If you make use of such language as that again I'll send you to jail aa
 Well, said Merbergcr, "I'll not sign the bond :,
 No sooner had he made this re- mark than did constable O'Neel place upon him. the Court hav- ing stated that he would send him to jail. The other brother was also treated iii like manner. and when they saw they were Oil the eve of be- ing sent to prison they signed the bond The ease will be tried Satnr- day next.

FATSY's GRAVE.

college course He was a little reck-
less in taking care of his strength and
when he caught a bad cold one day he
neglected it atrociously. Before an
other year he showed signs of con-
sumption. Then followed most mourn
full time in the career of Rose bery's
boy. He was tenderfy nursed and had
the constant and affectionate care of
a very devoted brother. Rosebery
had, meanwhile, upon the advice
of Father Drumgoole, abandoned all
idea of seeing his boy grow into a
learned and eminent man. Patsy at
seventeen was by no means as pretty
and winning as Patsy at seven. But
he was always good and steady lad
and up to his very last day on earth
deserved the affectionate interest of
his famous patron. 1t was always a
source of surprise to the priests at the
mission that Patsy proved such an I'M
failing source of interest to the rising
power in English politics. Letters
came regularly across the ocean asking
how he was getting on.
At last Pat died. His end came in
1884. eleven years after his patron had
sailed for England and seen the last Of
him. Father Drumgoole duly notified
Rosebery and 1t was no doubt source
of qualification to the peer that his
protege had expired in peace and every
comfort. They buried the lad in Cal
vary, little headstone marking the
spot where he lies to-day. his name and
the date of his death being now the
only memorial of him that was Rose
bery's boy.
Father Drumgoole died two years
ago, at ripe old age which would have
beea longer but fo- his labors in behalf
of the mission for homeless children.
In his half century of this activity he
had sent many boys out into the world.
some of whom are to-day wen-to-do and
eminent men, but he was in the habit
of declaring that he never had case
more interesting than was this one OF
the protege of England's prime minis
ter. The boys grave is Rosebery's only
memorial in the republic

months 1t was his habit to write let
ter in his own hand to the noble lord
in England His first epistle was a
very rude affair, all print and blot, but
unless the British premier thought 1T
unworthy of saving, it is among his
papers this very day. And .one day
there came letter to little Patsy from
England. in the handwriting of the
statesman himself Patsy kept this
letter and very frequently showed it to
his schoolmates
By the time the boy reached fourteen
his future became matter of serious
concern. Father Drumgoole deemed it
his duty to communicate with Rose
berry on the subject and it ws.s decided,
upon the recommendation OF the Briton
himself, to educate Pat in the best
manner. Therefore the priest sent
the lad to the college OF st. Francis
Xavier on Sixteenth street in New
York. Here the Jesuits took Rose
bery's boy in hand and for three years
he studied there. But Patsy was found
to be somewhat lacking intellectually.
Needless to say, his fame as the pro-
tege of so boundlessly wealthy man,
husband of a Rothschild, heir to n
great name, had preceded him. Patsy
was surrounded with halo of ro-
nance. and his future was painted in
the brightest colors. But, try as they
would, the Jesuits could not drive
Latin and Greek into the boys head.
He was not stu6ious at all, hating
books indeed.
There turned up in New York about
this time Patsy's brother Mike. q
bright lad, too, full Of energy and very
highly spoken of by the priests of the
mission. Patsy was very fond OF his
brother and the two formed plan of
going into business together. Patsy
announced his intention of becoming
carpenter. He said that books were
not agreeable to him.
However, the led was not permitted
TO sacrifice what might prove to be
brilliant future, and he remained at the
college until he was about seventeen or
more. All this time he had been most
carefully educated and provided for at
Lord Rosebery's expense. but his dis
position being more and more out Of
harmony with the future provided for
him, it was determined that he should
not follow a learned profession.
But Patsy had shown signs Of deli
cate health during the last years Of his
