Early morning pedestrians in the nelghborhood of George, Dwight and West Chapel streets on Monday morn- ing were surprised to hear repeated calls for help on what appeared to be a patrolman's whistle, and although dillgent search was made, all failed to locate it. But 1t has just leaked out that it emanated from two or three newspaper men who were vending their way homeward at 4 a, m., and who thought they had discovered burglars in the yard of house opposite Trinity M, E, church. One of the trio, being a bicyclist, was possessed of a whistle and this he blew with great vigor The hurried blasts called Officers Dippold, Sheehan and Phelps to the seat of war in a twinkling, but before they had ap- peared the newspaper fraternity had discovered that they had become alarm ed over nothing more than a milkman, and immediately took steps to absent

The officers mplimented their friends upon their bravery, and it remained secret all around and the mystery never would have been cleared up had it not been for the fact that during the race for the corner Officer Dippold lost bunch of keys and pocketbook con taining 80 in money, and the newspaper men, feeling that they had innocently gbeen the cause of this loss to the brave officer, called upon him yesterday at his home and not only made up his loss to him, but left him a Christmas present beside in the shape of box of cigars, and he wishes it stated that when his friends call to-day they will be present. ed with one each of the fragrant HaVa- mas.

THE sroDDARD LECTURES.
GA Journey Through lndia' is tho Theme
 For To-Morrow NisIt.

The lecture of tomorrow evening at the Hyperion affords Mir. Stoddard op- portunity to give his account of his famous journey through India. He en- ters it at the finest of the colonial British cities, Bombay. Proceeding thence to picturesque Jeypore, he passes on to Delhi and Agra, the capitals of the old Mogul potentates, in the lat ter of which is the noted TajIMahal. at once the greatest of architectural treas ures and lthe costliest emblem of a husbands devotion. This building Mir. Stoddard infinitely describes and illus trates. The peculiarities of Hindoo life are shown at the old sacred city of Benares on the Ganges, and other places, each wonderful to the American are successively visited. Mr. Stod- dard's fortunate experience in climbing to the foothills of the Himalayas pro- vides him with illustrations probably never before equalled. This is the last lecture but one. Next week the season will close with the lecture on Japan.

The market is full of cough mixtures but one trouble with most of them is that when they do little good the pa- tient has to take so much that he gets to loathe the taste. The ePineola Bal sam is superior to the cough remedies because it is agreeable to the palate and it's good effects are immediate. In a few days an ordinary cough is gone altogether. Bronchitis and asthma are most stubborn, but they, too, are cured by Ely's Pinaola Balsam A remedy worth trying. Twenty-Five cents is all it costs. d25 st eodltW

oming Seminary, Kingston, from which
1t appears no deaths had taken place
and no case OF serious Illness had oc-
Cured during the past year. The
semi-centennial which had been cele-
brated at the last commencement was
attended by the loyal sons and daugh-
ters of Wyoming from far and near,
and formed a great event in the his
tory OF the seminary. Upon that &C.
casion Nesbitt hall was dedicated, in
which the day scholars, art and science
departments and college Of business had
excellent accommodation. The attendance
at present was higher than In the previ-
Gus year. The report made detailed COM
ment on the various departments, all
being highly favorable. The trustees
were reelected by the conference as
follows, j. j. Shoak, Plymouth; Rev.
Lewis ii. Taylor, Wilkes-Barre; and

Jacksonville. April IA special to
the Times-Union from Tampa, Fla,
says:
News from Cuba today Is to the effect
that there is big uprising in the
province of Puerto Principe, that all la
borers, sugar field hands and sympath-
izers are in arms and that battle is at
hand that will probably decide the fate
OF Cuba. The uprising in Puerto Prin-
cipe is general and will seriously affect
results. Maceo is on the island hasten
ing to the front with 11,00O men. Man
uel De La Cruz and family reached
here from Havana this evening. He is
the author of several works on Cuba
and is an intense patriot. He was COM
PEELED to come here or suffer Spanish
tyranny. He Is confident that the
Cubans will triumph If their leaders
remain firm. He says the troops in
Havana are dying by hundreds. and
those in the mountains are dying and
deserting. The outlook is very bright
for Cuban success, he thinks. Near
Santiago thirty-six Spanish soldiers
lost their way, and hearing that a band
of insurgents We're near by they went
and Joined them, taking their guns and
accoutrements with them.
A letter was received here from
Havana today saying that a Spanish
officer riding on train with some la
dies, began to take liberties with them.
On the same car was duelist by the
name of Mendieta, who, when he saw
what was being done. drew his revolver
and killed the officer. He then left the
train.

MIR. HOGAN'S SPEECH.
1t Is Probable That it Will Receive Con
sidcratiOn from the Conference.

sidcratiOn from the Conference.
Tomorrow is anticipated that the
conference will take action upon the
speech delivered by Rev j. C. Hogan
at the Prohibition meeting on Friday
night Mr.. Hogan asserts that 1.-The
half was never told" ana that there are
a large number of accusations to be
brought against Presiding Elder
Thorpe for abusing the privileges of his
office. Some of the very jealous prohi-
bition pastors allege that Mr. Thorpe
is not the only one who has made Prohi-
bition pastors uncomfortable because
they would not desist from preaching
Prohibition.
On the other hand the leading men
of the conference are unanimous in
condemning the action of Mr.. Hogan
and many who were spoken to by q
Tribune reporter remarked that II was
unfortunate that some of the Prohi-
bitionists were so jealous that they
lived for Prohibition and forgot that
they were ministers of the gospel The
church is favorable to Prohibition, but
it Is claimed that instead of Prohibition
the meeting was turned into an indig-
nation meeting against Presiding Ell
der Thorpe. so that the audience was
gathered together under false pre-
tences.
If the proposal to introduce reso-
luton In the conference tomorrow
morning condemning Mr. Hogan's at
tack Is persisted In, and the bishop de-
cidcs to place 1t before the meeting
the question will be finally settled The
question of Prohibition will not be af-
fected, but the dignity of the office of
Presiding Elder will be maintained and
discipline restored.

Washington, ApHi H.-Unless all
precedents fail thereNwill be no oral
proceedings in the court"66SS the United
States tomorrow in connectioE, with the
presentation of the motion fox re-
hearing of the income tax caseA The
rules OF the court direct that such\po-
tions shall be printed and distributed
to the several justices on the bench.
but oral argument is prohibited.
The government not being party d.
rectly to either one of the suits in
which a rehearing will be asked, the
attorney general will not, Of course,
prepare brief, but he will doubtless
be on hand to respond to any sugges-
ton or inquiry which may be made
from the bench. The petition for re-
hearing asks the court to assign the
case for re-argument for the purpose of
deciding the three points upon which
an equal division of the justices was
announced. First, whether the void
provisions as to the rents, etc, invali-
dates the whole act
Second, whether as to the income
from personal property the act Is un-
constitutional as paying direct taxes.
Third. Whether any part of the tax,
IL not considered as direct tax, is
invalid for want of uniformity.
The petition alleges that the court
early in its history adopted the prac-
tice of requiring constitutional ques-
tions to be heard in a full court. 1t Is
urged that no case can arise requiring
more imperatively the application of
the rule than the present one. 1t is
said that until some decision is reached,
the courts will be overwhelmed with
litigation upon these questions and the
payment and collection of the tax must
seriously embarrassed. If rehearing
be denied. it is asked that the construc-
tions sending the cases back be amend
ed so that the court below may deter
mine whether the law has been rem
dered invalid in the respects specified,
and whether or not 1t is unconstitu-
tional in the respects not decided upon
by the supreme court.
Without the request of one of the
judges who support the constitution
ality of the law for further amendment,
it Is quite certain the motion for hear
ing will be denied.
