OLNEY AND GROVER INVITED

,Jackso0 Dzy BANQUET.

Washington, Dec. 26.-President Cleve-
land and Secretary Olney were waited
upon today by delegation from Chica-
go and invited to attend the Jackson Day
banquet to be given, chiefly. by Chicago
gold Democrats on January s. Mr..
Cleveland expressed his regrets and Mr..
Olney practically gave the delegation to
understand that it would be impossible
for him to accept. The chief obstacle is
the cabinet dinner to be given by the
president on the evening previous to the
banquet in Chicago. All the members
OF the cabinet have been invited, but ii
is likely none Of them can arrange to go.
The Chicago men expect that Assist
ant Secretary Hamlin and Comptroller
Eckles will be present and invitations
will be given to Henry Watterson, John

more. Purcell got up again and down

NEW PAPER FOR JAPANESE.
Published In America to Encourage Trade
With the States.

Published In America to Encourage Trade
with the States.
The first number of The Japanese
American Commercial Pioneer has been
Published. Its object is to promote COM
merce between the United States and
Japan by giving the people of each
country a more thorough understanding
Of the commercial capabilities and the
mercantile methods of the other. The
balance of trade between the two coun-
tries is at present against the United
States. The reason Of this has been that
the japanese have not understood how
adMntageously they can purchase in the
American market.
The new paper is printed in the jap
anese language in this country and is to
be sent over to Japan for circulation. 1t
contains lists of articles which may be
purchased more cheaply in the United
States than elsewhere, and in short
editorials sets forth the advantages
which would accrue to Japan by more
extensive trade with this country.
The editor, Shizno Kondo, says that
the annual import and export trade of
Japan is $3.50, 900, 900, and that more
than half the exports are sent to the
United States, while considerably less
than half the imports are from here.
The Japanese, he said, will find it to
their advantage to buy more in the
United States. SO that they may further
their large and growing American trade,

Following close upon the action Of
the Rev. Julius Feicke, who gave up
preaching to enter the saloon business
because the pulpit did not afford him q
living, comes another New Jersey cler-
gyman who, rather than starve, has
abandoned the ministry for business.
The change this time Is made by the
Rev. W. r. Clark, pastor of the First
Congregational church Of Gutenberg,
and he has gone into the undertaking
business.
The church Is small one and COM
posed Of members who are not wealthy.
It does not pay regular salary, but
when the Rev. Mr.. Clark accepted the
pastorate he says he was promised that
he should not want for anything. The
donations and subscriptions upon which
the trustees depended to make good their
promises were not forthcoming, and Mr..
Clark soon found himself face to face
with the problem which drove Mr..
Feicke out Of the ministry.
He has rendered his resignation in a
letter, in which he said that during the
six months he had acted as pastor of
the church he had received just $28. 80.
This was hard enough to bear, but when
certain members Of the congregation
began to slander him 1t was more than
he could stand. New York Herald.

Tiburon island is inhabited by the

men is being organized under the COM

A Street Incident.

A significant circumstance occurred
during visit Of the Emperor of Gar
many to England. The kaiser was for
one day the guest of the lord mayor,
and the city of London received him
and several Of the queens children OH
that day.
The old city was splendidly decorat-
ed, and set for great public function.
The streets from Buckingham palace
to the lord mayors mansion were lined
with infantry and cavalry, back Of
whom was solid mass Of people.
Between these lines the royal car
riages slowly passed. They moved In
almost absolute silence, save for the
perfunctory salutes of the soldiery. The
queen was not present, and for mere
royalty as royalty, there was appar-
emily no popular feeling save that of
curiosity.
When, however, the carriage Of the
Princess Of Wales appeared, and her
sweet, kind face was seen, the applause
grew enthusiastic. Suddenly a burst
of cheers was heard, as a low, black
wagon came swiftly down the throng-
ed street. 1t was the ambulance Of a
hospital, which has precedence every
where, carrying some wounded man
to receive succor. The crowd paid
homage to charity In sincere though
Inappropriate fashion.

Prow-Dyed the Decks with Blood-The
Lookouts Narrow Escape From . Wa
terry Grave.
To run full tilt into a whale in mid
ocean is quite as startling, though not
so disastrous, as to run upon rock, and
this is what happened to the steamship
Amrum while bound for New York.
Her hull is black, but there is great
red patch ON her bows above the water
line, which her officers say is the life
blood Of a whale that was foolish enough
to oppose their passage through his
feeding grounds.
The lookout on the bridge had sighted
school Of whales. about 30 in all, but
did not think the matter important
enough to report at the time to the cap
tain. All at once the steamship came to
full stop, as suddenly as il she had
struck stone wall.
The lookout was thrown over the
front Of the bridge and only saved him
self from being hurled to the deck by
grasping the rail. For a half minute he
hung in midair before he collected his
wits and regained his breath. Then he
climbed back on the bridge in terror.
He had hardly regained his perch
when Captain Mundt and his officers
rushed on deck. They were all deathly
pale and trembled violently as they
asked what the trouble was. No one
could tell, but all Thought the vessel
must have struck a submerged wreck.
Just then an appalling object loomed
up about 30 feet ahead Of the vessel 1t
was 70 feet long and terribly bloody. A
second glance showed the ships officers
that it was u whale almost cut in two.
The monster was visible for only a
moment. 1t blew once. sending up a
column Of water, Redeemed with blood,
high above the deck Of the steamship.
Then the whale sank and the red spray
fell ON the deck of the Amrum.
Captain Mundt and his men knew
then what they had been in collision
with. One of the crew was lowered over
the bow to ascertain il the vessel had
been injured. When he came up, he re-
ported that the bow was covered with
blood. but no damage was apparent.
The steamship had gone only a short
distance again when she almost ran into
another whale.
"We felt the shock severely" said
the captain, "and Judging from the con-
dition of the whale he felt it too. "

Huxley on Woman Suffrage.

The death Of Professor Huxley recalls
his sensible words on the woman ques-
ton:
Suppose, for the sake Of argument,
we accept the inequality of the sexes as
one Of natures immutable laws; call it
fact that women are inferior to men
in mind, morals and physique. Why
should this settle or materially affect
the subject Of SO called woman g rights2
Would not this very inferiority be a
reason why every advantage should be
given to the weaker sex. not only for its
own good, but for the highest develop
ment Of the race?

your thoughts from the thermometer
and how lawfully hot it is.
