Bishop J. P. Newman denies story published in Baptist paper that he baptised General Grant when the latter was unconscious. He says the General was in full possession of all his facul- ties when the rite was administered; and he adds: "A few days after this memorable event I spent two hours with General Grant in religious conver- sation, and asked him if he recalled the scenes of his baptism, to which he replied: Yes, perfectly; and as you came into the room, wondered why they had called you at that hour of the night TO my remark, All thought you had not five minutes to live,' he gave this characteristic answer: I knew I was very low, but did not intend to die; my work Is not done; three times have been raised from the valley and shadow of death.' During four months he lived and suffered; reviewed his first volume and wrote the second volume of that great monumental work, which re- fleets his fine literary taste and the mo- bility of his character"

A French paper on the subject of the tastes and wardrobe of feminine royalties says that Margherita, eenifItaly is de- voted to white and that of the queen- regent of Spain, on the other hand, accomplished in all things is always dressed with the elegant simplicity of woman of taste. The simplest of all European sovereigns is the queen of the Belgians, who prefers a quiet, domes- tic life to the limited existence of roy- alty, regarding expensive dressing as an unpleasant but necessary adjunct to court festivities. Since the tragic death of the Crown Prince Rudolph, the em- press of Austria has worn the deepest and heaviest black, occasionally ap- bearing in gowns of black and white commingled. The Princess of Wales avoids colors, and has given a vogue to the tailor-made serge, with a high collar, which is invariably her day dress. In the evening her royal high ness makes up for the plainness and simplicity of the day by wearing the most superb gowns and jewels. And the same authority says that the em- press of Russia dresses as simple as her sister, the Princess of Wales, during the day, wearing the rich nation al costume for evening receptions or pfficial functions.

Philadelphia Record: The infor-
nation that the Russian Black Sea
feet will soon be permitted to pass
into the Mediterranean through tie
Dardanelles without any protest from
Great Britain seems entirely credible
in the light of recent events. A
cordial understanding with Russia
would be cheaply purchased by Great
Britain by her consent to departure
from her time -honored policy regard
ing the Dardanelles which she would
be powerless to prevent in the long
run. The center Of population in
Russia is being rapidly shifted to the
south, and a Russian demand to be
relieved from the stipulations of the
Treaty Of Paris which confne her
navy il the Black Sea would be irresis-
table. Great Britain would do better
to greet the Russian fleets In the
Mediterranean as friends than to meet
them as foes. {.

atrocious murders in the annals Of
crime was committed short time ago
in Minneapolis, when Miss Gatharine

parties made all clear, and at least

"I'll do 1t by letter." he said to him

the night before. Then in dismay tho
ladies rummaged the dust-bin. and after
an hours search appeared in the parlor
with dusty dresses and soiled hands and
nine little pieces Of paper. These deftly
pieced together made a whole note, which
beir" perused revealed a proposition.
Belinda returned very late with very
conscious look upon her face, and stared
in astonishment at the dusty objects,
who met her with excitement on their
countonances. 1t was good while be-
fore the :ruth could be extracted from
the interiections and calculations with
which she was greeted; but when at last
it was made manifest, Belinda listened
like one in trance. She had indeed
been made an April fool of, MIR Soft
heart had really proposed. The brown
stone house had been offered to her, the
bank stock. and all that made the
bachelor an eligible match, and she that
very evening had accepted Spooney.
1t was not very complimentary to her
betrothed, but she went into Mysteries
at once and kept them up for an hour
or two.

posed to any one again.-Toledo Blade.

THREW MONEY ON THE FLOOR
FLYNN Charged with RObbinE His
RrOther-in-Law of $4,000.

Edward Hanlon has toiled In Penn
sylvania mines and sweated In Virginia
mills for two years at work. and he had
accumulated $3.50 when he came to
New York at the time of the late coal
troubles to wait until the industrial
sky cleared and to invest some of his
savings.
He has been stopping with his brother
jn-laW William Flynn, at 80 West
Twenty fourth street. Hanlon did not
trust banks and he secreted his $500
between the mattresses of his bed.
Flynn knew of this and has been watch
ing the money.
Some time between Tuesday and yes
terday Flynn took the s., 800. Yesterday
he left the house. Hanlon reported the
theft to the West Twentieth street po-
lice, and Detective Creegan went to
work on the case.
He traced Flynn last night by the
phenomenal drink purchasing record he
had left behind him In a wide swath OF
west side saloons and found his man at
last In a saloon at Charlton and Green
bits and throwing II on the Moor. He
had sl,Sn on his person when he was
arrested.
Flynn pleaded that he had taken the
money while he was too drunk TO know
what he was doing.
This morning at Jefferson Market
Court he changed his tune and said he
had found the money and did not know
