The Illinois Democracy are in q
peck Of trouble over that coming
free silver convention, called ex-
pressly to declare for the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver at the
ratio of IL to l. The more conserva-
tive of the party in that state see
the ruinous effects that it will have
upon the party in the coming pres
idential election and they are try
ing to cOuntermine, by "nlisting
the influence of the President
against the scheme, but hitherto
without success. Cleveland is soon
to retire permanently from poll
! tics, and he knows it, and in this
knowledge he is not anxious to in
tervene for the salvation Of a party
which has so often refused his
guidance in matters financial.

The country knows actually less
as to the true condition of Income
Tax matters than they did at the
time Hill was fighting the meas
ure Of his party so vigorously in
the National Senate. What the
collectors of the tax want to know
is just what the Supreme court
has not told them, and there is no
likelihood Of there being any uni
formity of proceedings in the col
lections. This only is certain, the
returns in any case will fall mil
lions below estimates, cutting off
the revenue to that extent and me-
cessitating the making up Of the
deficiency from other sources. AS
there is no other source from
which to do this, the revenues with
the Income Tax as estimated being
below expenditures, there is no
very bright outlook for the i'm
provement so glibly prophesied by
Democratic tinanciers.

New York City will in the future
provide for the physical training
Of the little ones in her public
schools as we'll as for their mental
instruction, at least to the extent
Of providing them with ample
grounds for exercise during the
time allotted to recreation. The
school board Of that city has de-
ter1nined that in the building Of
school houses hereafter the build
ings will occupy spacious grounds,
so that there will be ample room
for sports. This is coming to
sensible conclusion and one for
which the after generations Of the
Gothamites will rise up and call
the school authorities blessed. 1t
is about time that the need OF
sound bodies, as soul cases, was
understood.

Mayor Elmendorf comes up to
the rack and answers the questions
propounded to him like a little
man. No other mayor Of this city
has ever So frankly and openly al
lowed himself to be challenged and
responded so unrescrVedly to that
challenge. Mr.. Elmendorf shows
his QuestiOner that he is well &C
quainted with the catechism and
that he is also not responsible for
some Of the situations in which
that sewer contract has placed the
city. His ripper wisdom, In which
he suggested a delay in the giving
out of that contract in order that
the lowest responsible bidder
might get the work and the city
be at the same time protected at
every turn, is being recognized as
the situation develops, and the like
ness of the contractor to Paddy's
flea is more and more distinctly
seen.

The sentiment OF the church to
whichRev. Lansing belongs is that,
even if his statement concerning
President Cleveland had been true,
it would have been better not to
have expressed it in public, but as
it was false a very grave error had
been committed. Lansing does not
seem to think so, and the attempt
ed apology that he made was a
greater insult than his original
charge. Such preachers lead the
ordinary mind to wonder under
what particular dispensation Of
Divine Providence such men are
called to preach. In them that
indispensable requisite, common
sense, seems to be wanting.

The prospect of the settlement of
the Indian Territory will be very
acceptable to North Texas, even
should it open millions of acres OF
valuable land to rival settlement.
That territory is an eyesOre now,
filled as it is with a lawless ele-
ment, largely beyond the reach Of
the laws that govern the other Sec
tions Of the country and is con-
slant menace to the peace and Sc
curity Of all adjacent states. So
long as this continues there will
continue to be a prejudice against
settlement in North Texas and the
value of north Texas property
will suffer in consequence.

Al Trinity M. E Church.

This evening delightful concert will be given at the Trinity M. E. church, interspersed with recitations by Mary Dudley Burke. The soprano soloist will be Miss Gertrude Sanford, with Miss Ellen Hofer as contralto, Frank Lang dale tenor, and E. c. Bennett bass. They will be accompanied by Miss Grace Nichols The i"B" quartet has also been engaged to give some of their excellent songs. Miss Sanford and Miss Hofer are among the best of our young CT singers. The quality of the formers voice and her method is much like her sisters, Mrs. $. $. Thompson. She sang at a swell recital in New York last spring given by Madame Bjorkstein, and to an audience of strangers, and won on the merit of her singing a most spontaneous encore. Miss Sanford's rare skill as a pianist is we'll known. Miss Burke is always entertaining, graceful and amusing in her recitations, and the combination should give an ex- cellent program. The affair is under the auspices of the Ladies Social union and takes the place of their usual Christmas baZar.

There is, however, number of free scholarships, covering wholly or in part the charge of $75 for tuition, be- sides twenty three prizes, ranging from $10 to $50. Professor c. T. Winchester describes the building and a dozen half tone cuts are printed in this number. Professor Nicholson describes the courses of study and the requirements for admission, There are 46 courses outlined by Professor Rice in science, and S7 courses in the department of language, ancient and modern, phil osophy, historical and social sciences. In graduate instruction Wesleyan has held an honorable position and offers to-day 3S courses In the last five years 70 students, representing il colleges, have pursued post graduate work at Wesleyan. w.

The Escape of "Fliza.o

The Rev. s. G. W. Rankin of Glaston- bury was instrumental in effecting the escape from slavery of "Eliza,' the her. oine of Uncle Toms Cabin" She was a large, athletic woman weighing about ITO pounds. A mulatto negress escap- ed the same night that Eliza" ran away. MT Rankin said that "Eliza" did not cross the river by jumping on the floating foes of ice. Acting on his (Mr. Rankinsl advice she took a. pine board with her, By placing the plank on the floating foes she crossed the river. MT. Rankin says that not more than one-half the story of Eliza" is told in Uncle Toms Cabin" "Eliza's" husband was not as smart as the aver age runaway negro. She took one child with her to Canada. When she return ed from Canada for her other children her adventures were more thrilling than when she first ran away. She was talk en across the river by a negress who kept ferry, and whose name was also Eliza. When she reached the house of her former master, where her seyen- tenn-year-old daughter and other chil- dren were kept as slaves, she went into the bushes of the garden and prayed that her daughter might come out to pick entrants for her family's Sunday dinner. The daughter came on in re- sponse to her prayer, as Eliza" thought.
 The mother and daughter planned their escape and the escape of the oth- CT children, which took place the fol- lowing day, which was Sunday, when the master and mistress were visiting the house of their brother-in-law in Germantown. They took clothes and other household effects weighing in all about two hundred pounds with them. Instead of arriving at the shore of the river at 2 o'clock, they did not reach it until o'clock in the morning. A heavy fog hung over the river and this was advantageous to their escape. He had advised Eliza" to walk in the water of the river along the shore for some distance, in order to throw the dogs off the scent. She obeyed this instruction. From the Ohio side of the river he saw thirty men armed with guns and hav- ing dogs searching for Eliza" and her children She and her children were carried across the river and were free- Hartford Times.

7. he Rev. pr. vibbert.

East Haven, Dec. 3.-In to-day's issue of the Courier" the statement is made that fin 1S47 he organized St. James parish in Fair Haven and few years after through his efforts the present church was built" There is an error in this as to the date. The church ed- ifice was built in 1S45-6 on land donated by Isaac Brown. A few years after there was great contention between the society and a son of the donor of the land as to the eastern boundary line of the church lot. The society lost their case, and the late Jared Wedmore erect ed dwelling house on the disputed property. MT. Vibbert was the first terial services extended to nearly, if not quite, a half century, considering that his connection was not altogether severed from the parish at this time
 The writer of this attended select school in the basement of the church in 1S4S. Samuel M. Brown of Fair Ha- ven was the teacher. Your correspon- dent was married by the Rev Dr. Vib- bert in 1854. His long pastorate, his great and acknowledged ministerial ability, and his prominence in church affairs, will always place him in the front rank of noted Connections cler. gymen. c. W. B.

DR. STEARNs DEAD.

Was Formerly n Well-KnOwn Dentist of
 This City and Republican Worker-Died
 of Paralysis.
 Dr. George O. Stearns, formerly a well known dentist and republican politician here, died at the hospital about 12;SO yesterday morning. He was about seventy-eight years of age and his death was caused by paralysis. His wife died several years ago.
 Dr. Stearns had been in the hospital since June, 1891. He formerly had an office on Center street, later on Orange street near where the Tradesmen's bank Is, and afterward in the Adelphi building on Chapel street. He was a member of Hiram lodge and had rela- tives in Bedford, Mass. He was a well educated man, well versed in city and national politics, and took an active in terest in New Haven's politics for fif- teen or twenty years He lost his in terest in active politics ten or twelve years ago, and from that time until he became i'll and went to the hospital he was little heard from in the city, liv- ing a retired life and pursuing his oc- cupation as dentist in a quiet, modest way. He was, while in his prime, a very devoted anti-slavery man and warm republican, and attended most of his ward conventions and was dele gate to many city and town conven- tions He was very tenacious of his convictions and his voice was often heard in the local conventions. He was a very sincere, earnest, honest and wor- thy citizen, whose aims were high and pure and who was an unselfish and de- voted friend.
 He leaves brother, who resides in Bedford, Mass. who has been notified by the hospital authorities.

Philadelphia, Dec. S.-IThe officers of nine German building associations have been excited over a report that their secretary was away from home and was short about $25,OOO. The peculiar part of the transaction was that the knowledge of the alleged shortage was first gained through the secretary him self, who is said to have made state ment to lawyer to the effect that he was short large amount. No warrant has been issued for the secretary's ar rest, as none of the officers of the as- sociation have had access to the books which were in his possession. He was under no bond.

 Rapid Progress Made Under the New Law
 Under the law passed by the legisla- ture for promoting good roads about thirty have been completed in the state, of which thirteen have already been ac- cepted by the State Road commission CTS. Some seventy-six towns out of the 16s in the state will probably avail themselves soon of the provisions of the act, which provides that the state shall pay one-third the cost of a new road, the county one-third and the town one-thlrd--no town, to eXpend more than $S,O0O in one year under the act, and the state not to spend in one year more than $75,OOO altogether. The law requires "a macadamized or a telford or other stone road, or other road that will at all seasons of the year be firm, smooth, and convenient for travel" the town to keep 1t in repair when built.
 When the law was passed it was fear ed that the larger and richer towns of the state would avail themselves of the act, and that the poorer country towns, which have many of them very bad roads, would not do so and tax them selves one-third the cost. This to some extent appears to be the case, but not to the degree that was apprehended.
