ST. ANTHONY OUTDONE.
A Hearing Refused the New England
Working Women.

The handsome delegation which repre-
sents the wdge-earhing women of the New
England mills and factories visited the
Capitol this morling in furtnerance of
their desire to get the france committee of
the Senate to listen to their arguments
against the passage of the Wilson bill
The attractive bevy was under the mar
shalship of Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, and sur
rounded Senator Voorhees, shortly after
their arrival. Sixteen pairs of eyes of the
most expressive ami lovely character were
leVeled upon him. and sixteen inviting
mouths pouted in pantomimc pleading as
Mrs. Foster begged the chairman of the
finance committee 10 grant the visitors a
hearing.
derstudy for St Anthony in proving OBJ
durate to so much charming supplica tion
He said that the finance committee had
already reported the Wilson bill, and even
If 1T had been the policy of the body to
grant hearings upon the measure when it
was under consideration the time had al
ready gone by. He remarked, also that
even If one hearing was accorded to a
delega ton, even 50 attractive as that be-
fore him, there would be no just grounds
for refusing the same privileges to others
and the result would be that the commit
tee would have no time to consider the
bill, which the interests of the country de-
manded should be disposed Of without de-
lay.
The republican members of the finance
committee were much more gracious how
ever, and a meeting was held in the repub-
which the members of the delegation and
Mrs Foster presented their views on the
proposed bill with characteristic feminine
emphasis.

SALEM. Ohio. March 29.-After showing
all night, the roads between Salem and
Columbiana were very heavy and the
CoXey army did not make an early start
with bright prospect before them. The
men passed a pleasant night in the two
halls set aside for their accommodation.
Dan Allen, Chicago barber. who is with
the army, shaved ninety of the men. In
consequence the brigade presented a very
respectable appearance. Unknown" Smith
made an appeal for clothing to the citizens
last night. and such men as required them
obtained pants and coats. The sick men
were reported all right.
Several citizens have complained here on

The testimony offered in rebuttal by the
plaintiff this morning was that of two wit
nesses living in Lexington in the neighbor-
hood where witnesses for the defendant
located a disreputable house kept by Lena
Singleton, where. it was asserted. Madeline

Pollard at her aunt's house in 1871. and
believed she was then sixteen or seven

that Miss Pollard was rather fond of male
society, and was considered somewhat fast
as a girl. The witness herself admitted
having lived a life of shame for years. The

THE PRESIDENTS HEALTH
So Improved to Resume the White
House Receptions.

The Presidents recent attack of rheu-
matte gout. following his outing in Dismal
Swamp, has so far yielded to medical treat
ment and careful dieting that the distin-
guished patient was able to resume his tri-
weekly afternoon receptions to the public
yesterday. There was a small attendance.
owing to the fact that the President was
not expected to come down stairs. He uses
the elevator altogether and walks little
possible. 1t is rumored that he will go
away on another fishing or hunting eXpedi-
ton soon as his health and the state of
public business will permit.

An Austrian NObleman Expatsinted
by His Crime.

man will be buried in the potter's field to-
day. Descended from illustrious family
and with the secret of a strange crime
locked in his breast, Hugo, Baron Won
Laudon, died without the commonest ne
cessaries of life in this city yesterday.
Gen. Laudon, the renowned Austrian
warrior, who fought against Frederick the
Great was one of the ancestors of the un.
fortunate man, and a number of other
famous Austrians belong to the genoa
logical tree.
Hugo Won Laudon has been in America
little more than two years According tC
the story OF the deceased, he fled from
Russia to this country to escape the con-
sequences of a murder he was supposed to
have committed there. He owned vast
estates in that country, but was afraid to
return and claim them.

A PAIR OF SPEEDY WHEELMEN.
Grifiths and Terrill Now Visiting
Honolulu.
Bay CITY wheelmen-They Have Records
How They Look and What They
Say-TO Race Here.

I. A. Griffiths and H. +. Terrill,
the famous California wheelmen who
reached this place last week by the
bark Albert, are delighted with Homo
lulu. They are enjoying the vacation
thoroughly and wish it would con-
tinue six months instead of termina-
ting in four weeks. These young men
are interesting. They are opponents
of pastime that has developed in a
most astounding fashion. Less than
ten years ago a bicycle was curl
osity. Now the safety is part Of
every day life. Few persons of genu-
inc spirit can resist the wheel. Next
to sitting behind team of 900 trotters,
riding perfect bicycle at scorching
speed is favorite sensation with peo-
pie who have tinge of sporting in
their blood. In Europe and the
United States and even in Hawaii the
bicycle is of practical use. The inter
est taken in America by the ladies has
assured the popularity and perma-
hence of wheeling.
The silent steed notables now here
make an interesting pair. The age of
each is uwenty-one. They are fine
looking young men. With them the
wheel has proven guard against all
physical ills. They are pictures of
health. Terrill is feet 81 inches tall
and weighs 1S4 pounds. He is the
blonde of the team. Griffith, the bru-
neste, is a trifle lighter and an inch
taller. He weighs 153 pounds. They
are fellow members of the Bay City
Wheelmen's Club of San Francisco.
Both were born in that city. Terrill
is member of the club directorate
and Griffith is on the road board. The
Bay Citys have 40 members. 1t is
one of the most popular organizations
on the Coast and one of the best known
OF bicycle clubs. Mr.. Terrill is in the
office of an architect as a draughts-
man. He is Glass "a" man. This
means that he is not the agent of a
bicycle company or the employee of a
house handling machines. Terrill IS
an oarsman also and is acquainted in
rowing circles along the Coast. He is
regarded as a very valuable man in
any crew.
Mr.. Griffiths, who is the son of the
captain of the Albert, is ''B'' Glass
man. This is because he is in the BIZ
cycle business, being connected with
one of the leading San Francisco
houses. He can ride when and where
he likes, in the amateur class. A new

HAS HE BEEN HANGED?

Perhaps Puihipaka, also called
Paulo Kamanu, mas been hanged at
Folsom, California, during the past
few days. Perhaps ne is in the cell
of the condemned, bitterly regret
ting the past and wishing with all
his heart and soul to be in Hawaii
nei.
Puihipaka was on September 22d
sentenced at Placerville, California,
to be hanged at Folsom. Advices
from Consul Wilder at San Fran
cisco omitted the date. This letter
covered a note from Puihipaka. He
told of having been born and raised
in Hawaii and of having left here
as a sailor.
This native was convicted of the
murder of a woman. He claims
to be innocent and says that he is
the victim of a conspiracy. He
appeals to Consul Wilder to ask
the Hawaiian Government to inter-
fere.
At least one man at the Execu-
tive Building recollects Puihipaka.
The latter was at one time re-
tainer at the palace and was con-
sidered a very good sort of a man.
He has relatives here, but they
know nothing of his difficulties.
Prompt inquiry into the affair is
being made by the Government.

partments. By this time the company
had also built the G. r. Bishop, and
the following year the Iolani was adj
ded to their fiotilla. In 1883 the COM
pany was incorporated, and Captain
Godfrey was elected vice president. In
March, 1889, upon the death of T. R.
Foster, president of the company,
Capt Godfrey was made president,
which office he has since retained.

year and has been racing half that
time. Any distance suits him, but he
has done his best at half-a-mile. The
tendency Of the programs in the States
is for spurts. They please the audi
ences. People get tired of long con-
tests. Terrill impresses one as being
powerful fellow. He looks like q
young giant.
These young men have to date raced
only on the Coast. They are training
on and may be able to best Zeigler
aud Wells of California, and then go
East.
"How do you train?" was asked of
Terrill.
"Eat plenty of substantial food;
work enough, but not too much; don't
make yourself weary. To race a man
you should feel good all the time.
None of the cracks ride themselves
down. They do just enough work
keep in trim"
"Do either of you smoker"
"No, sir" said Griffiths. None of
the successful riders either smoke or
drink. The great Zimmerman takes
a cigar between his teeth, but never
lights it. Smoking would cut the
wind"
The visitors are quite taken with the
appearance and riding of Giles, the
Hawaiian champion. They are quite
anxious to see him on the track. The
Honolulu men are keen to see Grit
tiths and Terrill come down to the
tape. If there is no hitch the oppor-
tunity may be afforded on the 29th
and in the road race.
