GRIswoLD BANK ROBBERS.
They VIII BE Tried on the Charge
Of Stealing Stamps.

Council Bluffs. Ia, April 1.-The
Griswold bank robbers will be tried by
the United States court On the charge
of stealing $500 in stamps. 1t has been
suspected for some time that the gov
eminent would ultimately try the two
men now in custody. FOR its case is
much stronger than the charge pre-
ferred against them in the state courts
oe assaulting Deputy Sheriff Nick
O'Brien. There has been some I'M
certainty as to who fired the shots.
but there is not the slightest uncer-
tainty of all three of the men being
concerned in the robbery of the bank.
Smith and Wilson were brought into
the court room yesterday afternoon
to be arraigned. Their best friends
would hardly have known them as
they sat with their wrists bound to-
gether with handouts Each man has
let his beard grow. IL judge Wool
son can find any way of compelling
them to shave their boards. but little
doubt of their conviction is felt. hut
if the witnesses are compelled to swear
that these grizzly veterans are the
same sleek, smooth looking fellows
they saw six weeks ago there is quite
a possibility of their getting free.
Both men in custody have claimed all
along that they never saw one another
until arrested. They will be tried this
month

Washington, April When the re-
conference at Salem, Mass, by Rev.
Lansing, and his subsequently pub
lished interview. accusing the president
of intemperance, was shown to Mr..
Cleveland this evening he said, with
considerable warmth:
This is simply an outrage, though
it is not the first time a thing of this
kind has been attempted. 1 cannot
avoid feeling of indignation that
any man who makes claims to decency,
and especially one who assumes the
role of a Christian minister, should
permit himself to become a dissemin-
ator of wholesale lies and calumnies
not less stupid than they are cruel
and wicked.
81 easily recall other occasions
when those more or less entitled to be
called ministers of the gospel have
been instrumental in putting into cir
culation the most scandalous false
hoods concernig my conduct and
character. The elements or factors of
the most approved outfit for placing a
false and barefaced accusation before
the public, appear to be, first, some
one with baseless motives sufficient to
invent: second, a minister with more
gullibility and love of notoriety than
piety, greedily willing to listen to it
and gobble it; and, third, a newspaper,
anxiously willing to publish it. For
the sake of the Christion religion 1 am
thankful that these scandal-monger
ministers are few and on every ac-
count am glad the American people
love fair play and justice, and that, in
spite of all efforts TO mislead them,
they are apt to form a correct esti-
mate of the character and labors Of
their public servants"

FRANCE AFRAID.
Looks Upon California as n Possible
Competitor.

Upon rs IL TOSSIDIe
Competitor.
Washington, April THE French wine
manufacturers are becoming alarmed at
American competition. In an extract
from the Commercial Journal, published
in Paris, after describing the years
vintage in California as inferior in
quality and Indifferent in yield, says
since the new tariff lowering the entry
in the duties on wine imported to the
United States from abroad, efforts have
been made in California to organize a
powerful syndicate whose duty it is to
be to struggle by every possible means
against foreign competition and especi-
ally against the competition of French
wines. It is not that the quantity of
disposable wines or pecuniary notions
are wanting, but owing to the antagon-
ism arising from the producers on one
side and the agents on the other, this
enormous engine of industrial war does
not seem to operate for a good while yet
In looking over the last annual report
of the state viticultural board of Cali
fornia for the years 1S93-94, the conclu-
son is arrived at that the wine growing
industry of California has been for sew
eral years in state of stagnation, that
there has been an excess of production;
that the price of wine has never been
lower although the improvement with a
view to increase the. consumption and
open new markets for it have been con-
slant and real.

Identification on account of the expul-

HISTORY OF ST. VALENTINE.

Many of our customs and holidays
can be traced back hundreds of years
ago. st. Valentines day is no excep-
ton TO this rule. Perhaps some of our
young friends do not know that ST.
Valentine was a real parsonage. He
was an Italian priest who suffered mar
tyrdom at Rome in 270. or at Terni in
SOC, writes Florence Wilson in the
Home Journal Historians differ as TO
ing on the virtues of his life and the
manner of his death, and tells how he
was brought before Emperor Claudius
IL, who asked why he did not cultivate
his friendship by honoring his gods.
As Valentine pleaded the cause of the
one true God earnestly, Calphurnius.
the priest, cried out that he was sedue-
ing the emperor, whereupon he vas
sent to Asterius 10 be judged. To him
Valentine spoke OF Christ. the light of
the world. and Asterius said: If He
be the light of the world. He viii re-
store the light to my daughter. who
has been blind for two years" The
maiden was brought, and after Ealen-
tine prayed and laid hands on her she
received her sight. Then Asterius
asked that ne and his household might
be baptized. whereat the emperor be-
ing enraged, caused all to be impris-
oned and Valentine to be beaten with
clubs. He was behcaded year later
st Rome on February Il. 90.
History. having little to tell concern
ing the man. makes amends By dwell
ing at length on the ceremonies OBJ
served on this day. They trace the
origin of these TO the Roman Luperca-
liza, celebrated in February. at which
one practice was to put the names of
women in box to be drawn bv the
men. each being bound TO serve and
honor the woman whose name he had
drawn.

lie is the most anpreteatious sort Of
mortal, and when the messenger from
the Royal opera house management ar
rived with the first lump sum OF
royalty he found She composer ut the
breakfast tabls eating some rye bread
and butter fer his first meal. Since
then the opera has been performed
here in Berlin nearly every night to
the exclusion of every other novelty,
and has achieved an unbroken run OF
successes across nearly the entire face
Of Europe.
Much of the musical finish and artistic
charm that one meets with at every
performance at the Royal opera house
is due. no doubt, to the three orchestral
leaders there-Sucher, Muck and Vein
gartner. Each of them is master OF
the baton in his own peculiar way
Sucher being the Wagner enthusiast
par excellence, while Muck has Mozart
and the Italian composers at his
fingers ends and Weingartner is the
classicist of purest style.
That reminds me of the fact that the
royal opera house, after languishing
for many years under the cast-iron
management of Baron Hulsen, mas just
celebrated its 6ftieth anniversary
under the thoroughly artistic and pro-
gressive Count Hochberg. Buiow, the
eccentric but eminently gifted pianist
and leader, left the former manage
ment in huff, being thoroughly dis
gusted with it's lack of artistic spirit.
and Hulsen's regime could fifty be
characterized as fat, stale and IN
prohta ble-so unprofta BILE, in fact, that
the Royal treasury seriously felt the
annual deficit.
Under the present management, how
ever, there is enterprise. artistic asplra-
tons and thorough understanding OF
music, drama and good taste. The conse-
quence mas been that the Royal opera
of Berlin once more has attained one
of the first places in the world-Paris
and Vienna alone being considered SUI
perior by some in points OF fine ensen-
BILE; by others this is fatty denied.
On gala nights the Royal opera house
presents sight inside and out, which
for picturesQueness and splenGor is,
perhaps. equaled nowhere. For here
the color element, represented by the
resplendent uniforms of the officers OF
the guard corps, of the court officials,
ETC., mingles SO tremendously with the
light and gauzy dresses of the ladies as

HOW senator Ransom Was Bled.

A good story was then told on Sena-

The senator went aboard ferryboat
for an hours ride on the Potomac to
Alexandria and back again. Just after
he seated himself on the forward part
of the upper deck to catch the breezes
an Italian with an accordion began
playing DAISY Bell" Now, there is
nothing the senator hates worse than
that tune, and the accordion was very
wheezy and asthmatic. Nobody present
knew the senator, but everybody no
ticed him step nervously to the Italian
and ask how much he would take to
quit. Twenty-Five cents was agreed
upon and paid. The senator resumed
his seat, when little Italian boy came
upon the scene with a smaller ac-
Gordon and began playing Maggie
Murphy's Home" Everybody smiled,
but the senator silently smoked his
cigar Just as the boat neared Alex

up another silver quarter. He Will

SNAKE 6tatisfIcs In India.

British East India government employs
several thousand regular ''snake-kill-

SO much per head for ali those brought

during the same year over 1000 men,
