Death oil n Fam Gus Singer.

The death of Phillip Phillips, an
nounced in the daily papers last
month, calls to MUD the song that
made him famous. This song has
stirred many a struggling heart to
nobler deeds and enabled others to get
a clearer insight into what it meant to
live pure life. 1t cannot be repeated
too often.
Mr.. Phillips gained national repute
from a request OF President Lincoln.
During the sessions of the United
States Christian Commission at WASH
ington, at which were present William
H. Seward, James G. Blaine, Schuyler
Colfax, Edwin NJ. Stanton and James
A. Garfield, Mr.. Phillips sang his
hymn" Your Mission" Lincoln was
so touched by his singing of this hymn,
that, after it had been sung once, he
handed this note to Mr.. Seward, who
was chairman:
Near the close let us nave " Your Mission
re.'eated by Mr.. Phillips. Do 1T say called for

Springfield, ILL.,, April 5.-The post
office here was robbed Of about $1O,-
OOO worth of stamps and silyerware
to-day. The robbery took place while
Postmaster Kidgeley was at dinner.
The robbery was not discovered until

was gained to the vault by the use
of duplicate keys. The vault is To-
Gated in the postmaster's private Of

In order to secure entrance to the
vault two keys had to be used, one
to open the spring lock on the door of
the office, and the other to the inner
door of the vault. Boil, of these
doors We're locked when Mr. Ridgcley

stamps and silverware would make
an enormous package, and it is hard
to conceive of a method to take them
from the building in broad daylight
without observation. When Assistant

to so to the vault for stamps he found
the interior in wild disorder and ev-
erything of value removed. This was
the first intilnation that the place had
been looted. Mr.. Ridgeley, until a
few days ago, had about $4,000 in
cash in the vault, and the theory is
advanced that the thieves had some
intimation of this and that they We're

FOR FREE tn
aIinnesotn Democratic Association
at Work on a Scheme.

Minneapolis. April G.-The State
Democratic association is at work on
q great political scheme. 1t is the
formation Of a free trade party which
Shall embrace the whole country. The
association has sent out circulars in
viting Il conference Of all believers in
free trade to be held in Chicago during
the first week in October. The circu-
lars are not sent to Democrats alone,
but to everybody and every orgon,za-
ton which is opposed to protection.
This takes in the single tax clubs aud
other organizations OF that character.
Senators Brice and German are to be
left out, and it is even possible that
Tammany will be ignored, since the
association is impressed with the idea
that the reform Democratic club of
New York. headed by ex-Secretary
Fairchild. Is more likely to be in har-
rnony with its views.
A number of invitations have al
ready been sent to prominent persons,
asking them to prepare speeches for
the occasion. Among these are ex-
Congressman Wilson, now postmaster
general; Tom L. Johnson, Judge Ma
guire, tue single tax advocate of Cali
fornia; Henry George. o. NJ. Hall and
jerry Simpson, the Populist congress
man from Kansas. The list develops
to some extent the scope which the
movement is expected to assume. Its
projectors believe that it will be the
beginning of the formation of great
free trade party; that it will swallow
up the better element of the Demo
cratic party, leaving the taritf-for.
revenue Democrats out in the cold
The movement is claimed to have the
, endorsement of President Cleveland
Secretary Carlisle and many other
! leaders in the party.

CAMPAIGN FUND GONE.
Serious Charge. Against Prominent

Chicago. April G.-1'he Post prints
sensational story regarding the disap-
pea,nnce of 100000 of the Democrat
ic campaign fund. The Post states
that the managers of the recent city
campaign in which Wenter, the Demo-
cratic nominee. was defeated, charge
his defeat to a lack of necessary cam
paign funds, and also charge that an
enormous sum has been appropriated
by five or six men high in the Demo-
cratic political circles of the city. The
fund, the Post says, was raised by as
sessment of city hall employees and
others. and amounted to about $780,
coo. The Wenter managers claim to
have positive prooof that the fund ex-
listed prior to the last election. but
say they were unable to get any Of it

men of the Democratic party are said
to have become so thoroughly aroused
over the affair that they will cndeavor
to secure an investigation and promise
