AN AGENCY FOR CoRRUPrING THR
YOUNG.

There have been many malodorous
assertions made regarding some notori'
ous features of the public library, but
until recently there has been no indica-
ton Of any attempt OF dsbased or de-
PRAYED tastes to place books Of an unde-
sirable nature on the shelves. open to
the use Of young people OF both sexes.
Information of the presence Of such a
volume, however, was given to the
HERALD few days ago, and yesterday
it was obtained on the presentation OF
IN ordinary card of membership.
1t is entitled LIE Cadet. and its author
is Jean Richepin. one of the most OBJ
scene OF the French school OF prurient
novelists.
:. The book describes In plain terms the
debauching of an elder brothers. wife
by the cadet OF the family. He gives
all The minute details OF the beginning
OF purely brutal sexual desire in the hui
man male and female, and pictures the
gradual development of the bestial ten
dency, and goes into the most repulsive
minuti@imaginable regarding it's consum-
nation. Religious affairs are intermix-
cd in the obscenity in most blasphem-
Gus manner, and the book ID both i'm
pious and filthy.
Its lubricity is phenomenal. It por.
trays all the varied physical and psyche.
logical phenomena incident to the
inflaming of the body and mind by de-
PRAYED. bestial sensuality, and goes
into descriptions and analyses that
would bring blush to the most hard
ened femme damue, on Alameda street.
1t 10 impossible for the HERALD to soil
Its pages with any foundations from this
dirty volume, but it ia far within bounds
to say that nothing that the widely
condemned lola ever wrote approaches
1t for complete nastiness.
How the book got into the library
should be explained. President Dobin-
son-the actor-critic-e ditor-realeetat
agent-insurance agent-pavement con-
capitalist-president of the Ii.
brary trustees-is known to be fin
ished French scholar, and it is fair to
presume that he knew OF the nature OF
the work. II he did not, it was his duty
to know Of it and to remove it from the
shelves. The French books in the Ii.
brary are used largely by the youth Of
the city who are students OF that Ian.
guage. Young girls with no intention
Of asking for filthy book are as apt to
select the one in question as any other
for young people, particularly young
women, are not supposed to know the
intricacies OF modern literature as re-
CARDS its decency. The feelings of q
father who should find his daughter
reading the book in question can hardly
be imagined. He would undoubtedly
have the desire to hunt for the individ-
nal responsible for its presence with g
uble-barreled shotgun.
The extravaganza that has character
lied this person Dobinson's management
of the library is bad enough. but when
with that it lie found that works of
actual obscenity are permitted to be
available, works which cannot fail to
soil and degrade all who read them, it
would seem that the point Of endurance
10 passed, and that it is time TO throw
of the moral incubus that retards and
soils an institution that ought to be a
source of pride.

HIDDEN ToMBs OF GREAT MEN.

been Corporation Counsel for many years.

John Hancock and the dust of a number of
old Colonial Governors. That much knew

Army in our town three or four years ago.

WILL 60 TO CONFERENCE.

WASHINGTON, July q, 1894 All the in
dications point to the one result that the
Tariff bill will be sent back to the confer
ence today without instructions.
Mr.. Stewart, of Nevada, has declined to
act with the republicans, and was in
the city early this morning He said late
last night to reporter of the United Press,
that he did not expect to be present in the
Senate today when the vote will be taken
ON sending the Tariff bill back TO the con-
ference committee He intimated also that
he would not be paired.
Mr. Stewart explained that he would like
to vote with the, democrats to ,seid the bill
free wool destructive Of great industry
in his State, he could not bring
himself to the point of &yoting with
them. He was, however, in favor of having
the tariff question disposed of as he did
not desire to have the true cause of
business depression any longer obscured.
He repeated what he said in the Senate
that 1t was not the tariff, but the hypo-
critical financial policy of the United States
that was the cause of the present fearful
business conditions The Democratic tariff
bill would only accentuate the trouble in
stead of afording relief. as its advocates
predicted, and the tariff out of the way
would thus point the unerring hand of
truth at the real ana moving cause of all
our present troubles.
The question before the Senate is Mr..
Gray's point of order that the motion of Mr..
Washburn to instruct the cenferrees to
ment to the sugar schedule as puts a diff
ferential duty of one-eighth of cent a pound
on refined sugar, is out of order.
The chair will sustain the point of order.

NOT WHAT THEY WE'RE.

Since the veil has fallen into partial disuse
the charm of the Turkish woman has also
departed. Marion Crawford tells US: The
yashmak is not what it was ten years ago,
and has almost ceased to hide the face at all.
Strict as the Sultan's ordinance is, there s
not the slightest pretense of obeying it, and,
in the great majority of cases, thin white
veil barely covers the forehead and is but
loosely drawn under the chin.
ut must be admitted that, with the disuse
of that old fashioned veil, a great illusion
has disappeared from the streets of Con-
stantinople. There wGs something very
mysterious about it. Black eyes never looked
so black and deep and liquid as when seen
by themselves, as it were, between two broad
bands of opaque white. In those days every
yashnak veiled sn ideal beauty, very diff
ferent from the ugliness of the pale and
faccid features which its absence now gem
orally discloses One is inclined to doubt
whether The mirror is in common use in the
harem of today - Exchange

BOAT FOR TOPED0 BOATS.
German Semi-FOlding Affair
Adopted Ey the Navy.

WASHINGTON, July 81, 1S94.-The Navy
has decided to purchase semi-folding boat
of German manufacture for use on torpedo
boats. It is a canvas affair stiffened with
cushions of reindeer hair, which is not
easily rendered useless by machine gun fire.
it has been serious problem to secure
small boats for use on torpedo vessels, as 1t
is not possible to use the ordinary wooden
or metal gigs on account of the difficulty of
carrying them about.
Boats on davits, as in ordinary service,
would be rendered worthless in engagements
and as it is essential that means be pro-
vided for the escape of the crew in case of
foundering, folding canvas boats similar to
those used by sportsmen have been used
heretofore.
The new German invention appears to be
peculiarly adapted to the service aud Great
Britain has recently purchased forty of
thonl, giving rise to an exceedingly animated
debate in Parliament, when the Government
was compelled to silence the opposition by
confessing that no other device other than
the reindeer hair cushions met the require
ments OF the service. The Gushing will be
provided with the one now ordered by this
Government

An Inventors Injuries Placed Him
Under suspicion.
WASHINGTON, July 81, 1S94.-The mystery
in regard to the origin of the fatal Knox
fire is beginning to unravel. W. T. Harris,
an inventor, was arrested last night on sus-
picion Of having caused the disastrous con-
fagration He was in tho Knox building
when the fire started, working at an old
gasoline motor which he kept there, and was
badly burned. He was seen by several per-
sons as he ran out OF the building and then
he disappeared,
The police believe that while working
about the gasoline meteor he caused the ex-
plosion which burned the building He was
taken to the emergency hospital, where he
now is in charge of an officer. His left nand
and arms are seriously burned, and his
throat and lungs are sore from inhaled
flames. He acknowledges that he was in the
Knox building at the time tho fire started,
but denies that he did anything to cause it.
Harris statements 90 not agree with the
statements made by A. L. Kingsbury, the
company's private watchman, who turned in
the alarm. Neither Of the statements can
be fully explained by the police. A thorough
investigation is in progress.

THE MINNEAPOLIS COAL FEED.

WASHINGTON, July 81. 1894. 4.-On their
way back tc Philadelphia from the official
trial trip. the officers of tie Minneapolis
made some experiments with the vessel in
running at slow and medium speeds with
different combinations OF the three screws
These experiments were not so conclusive as
was desired, because of the interruptions
from fogs, but nevertheless the engineers
find much to warrant study in the results
obtained For one thing they show that
when the ship runs along at good cruising
speed of 1-6 knots, just half of the speed
she made on her trial trip, the coal consump-
ton is but 6,4Sl pounds per hour, or only
one-eightb of her consumption on trial In
other words, it takes eight times as much
coal to drive the ship at 70 knots as it does
at IL knots. With one screw the vessel
made Q. % knots burning only 4.629 pounds
of coal per hour. while to make the slightly
slower speed of 9.7l knots with the two side

Strange Mistake In the Identlficati0i

A strange mistake was made yesterday in
the identification of drowned man.
Last Sunday afternoon John Uchlinger,
captain of the tug boat Daisy fell over
board in the ''locks' in the city
and was drowned. Yesterday two bodies
Castle Point, Hoboken, and the other close
to the Central Railroad docks. The former
was taken to Cranes morgue in Hoboken
and the latter to Speer's morgue at the
Junction.
When Mrs. Perry of Staten Island, sister
Of the drowned tug boat captain, heard that
body had been picked up near the Central
Railroad docks, she at once concluded it
must be that of her brother, and hasteued
to Speer's Morgue. She was positive that it
was her brother and took away the remains,
over which funeral service was held late
in the day
But when the morgue keeper in Hoboken
examined the body, found near Castle Point,
he found in the dead mans pockets a csrtif1-
cate of membership in the Order of Tonti,
issued to John Uchlinger.
This then was the drowned Captain, and
Mrs Perry was at once notified. who was
astounded to find that she was mistaken In
her former identification. She took charge
of the body and it was buried yesterday

buried. 1t seems that her brother saved the
life of young lady who fell into the

and they were engaged Uchlinger
gave her diamond engagement ring.
Not long after she took sick and died and the
poor Captain was unconsoiable. He took the
ring off the dead girls finger and told his
sister, Mrs Perfy, that she must bury it with
him.
Accordingly, the ring was placed on the
finger of him whom she supposed was her
brother. Since, however, she has discov-
cred the strange mistake, she is in q dilem-
ma:-Shall she exhume the first body or not?
When Chief Murphy learned today that
Uchlinger's body had been recovered in Ho-
boken he declared the mutilated body which
was found on the north side of Pier of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, had been torn to
pieces by the wheel of a boat.
He insists that there is no evidence
of foul play, and is of the opinion that the
body is that of sailors, who has been
drowned and foated up the river by the
tide. He has no report of any missing men.

Our rEarines Handed.

WASHINGTON, July 81, 1S94.-The Corean
King has been taken prisoner by the
Japanese and marines have been landed
from the Baltimore to protect the American
Legation at Seoul This is the information
conveyed in an official telegram dated yes
terday to the Secretary of the Navy, from
Captain Benjamin F. Day, commanding the
flagship Baltimore at Chemulpe.
The State Department hrs received no des-
patches from Minister Dun at Toxic cen
firming the reported declaration of war, and
as such a public declaration would undoubt-
edly be noticed by the American representa-
tive. it is not believed here that such action
has been taken by Japan. Minister Tateno,
who called at the State Department. this
morning said he had no fresh advices at all
from home.
State Department officials say that q
formal declaration of war has long been out
of fashion and wars are frequent, part icu-
larly in Eastern countries, without any
formal announcement of hostihties
