He declared that they were the slaves

Teachers.

MOUNT PLEASANT, Jan. 25.-The
kind of weather we have been having
recently is. to use common phrase,
"a caution" We have enjoyed the lux
ury of mud, slush, rain and snow.
Wading through mud ankle deep is not
very enjoyable to the pedestrian whose
business calls him to his work, with
no other convenient mode of travel
ing, such as the more metropolitan cit
les enjoy. AT present the weather is
more chilly and indications point to a
coming storm.
Last night the young ladies gave the
ball of the season. AS this is pre-
eminently the year for the ladies, they
did themselves proud in the first leap
year ball of the season. The committee
worked untiringly to make the dance a
success, and SO it was, socially and
financially. The dancing was kept up
until the wee sma' hours and one of
the best times Of the season was thor
oughly enjoyed by the large crowd
who were fortunate enough to be there.

OMAHA, Jan. 25.-United States SEN
ators-elect Frank j. Cannon and Ar
thur Brown. of the new state of Utah.
passed through this city last evening
en- route for Washington.
In conversation Senator Cannon said
he was heartily in favor of the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio
of 16 to l. He favors protection and
high protection at that. In his opinion
high protection and free silver go hand
in hand, and both are essential for the
Improvement of the condition of the
country.
When asked his opinion of the Mon
roe doctrine, Senator Cannon said he
was an ardent admirer of that doctrine
and thought it was the duty of con-
gress to uphold it. Whether the people
of Utah endorsed the exact stand Pres
ident Cleveland had taken in the mat
ter, he was unprepared to say.
Concerning the Cuban trouble Sena-
tor Cannon expressed himself as de-
cidedly in favor of according belligerent
rights to the island that has given
Spain so much trouble. He thinks it
is the absolute duty of the United
States to pursue such a course in the
matter, and he will support any legis-
lation with that end in view.

steamer to Be Armed.

CHICAGO, Jan. pa special from
Philadelphia says:
The Hart line steamers plying be-
tween this port and China and the
West Indies, will in future be armed
with cannon and maxim guns. Captain
Ker.. counsel for the owners, has noti-
fed the collector of the port that they
will carry bow chasers and stern chas-
ers. The two vessels first on the list
for equipment are the Horsa and Lau-
rada, both of which have gained no
little notoriety from their alleged con-
nection with the flibustering eXpedl-
lions to Cuba. The Laureda has oeen
chartered to carry 250 negroes to LII
IBERIA, and the Horsa is soon to start
southwark with party who are going
to Matamoras to see the Maher-F1tz-
simmons fight Captain Ker AYERS
that both vessels will need arms for
self protection, the Laureda from the
pirates which infest the coast Of AT
RIGA, the Horsa from the Spanish
gunboats. The Spanish authorities in
this city, however, look with suspicion
upon any such movements by the Hart
company, and will exert every influence
to prevent the Hart boats from leaving
the port of Philadelphia with arms on
board AS soon as the vessels are
ready to sail application for clearance
papers will be made, and the result is
waited with great interest by all par
ties concerned.
Captain Ker, in an interview in con-
nection ith arming the vessels, said:
IT am told that the Spanish authori-
ties have said that if they catch any
of the vessels of the Hart line in Gu
ban waters they will make it hot for
them. This information may not be
true, but I have every reason to dis
trust the Spaniards. We are going to
give up the West Indies trade, and we
know there are no United States war
vessels to protect us. We have con-
Guided to go into the protecting bust
ness ourselves and we will put guns
on our boats and use them if neces-
sary. There are lots of young men
from our training vessels who would
be only too glad to get positions where
they could show their capacity and
there are NO better gunners in the
world than they are.
eve are not going to seek trouble
with the Spaniards, but we cannot af-
ford to have our vessels chased and
do not want to go to the expense of
the extra coal that would be used in
getting up steam to run away from a
| Spanish cruiser"

Too Much THREsHING.

Country boys who are inclined to
think that life in the cities Is easy and
comfortable compared with their daily
toll in the country. are apt to find
themselves mistaken when they come
to town and subject themselves to the
high pressure system Of business es-
adjustments. An exchange relates an
example of this sort:
A farmers bov went 10 the city, find
ing work at home rather tiresome. and
obtained a situation in large family
supply" store where a rushing busi-
ness was carried on. He took hold"
very well. and his EMPLOYER liked him.
They were surprised. however when
he came to them before he had been
two months in rhe store. and said:

GOOD FOR MISS BALL.
The First Woman to Gain the Priv
iIeges of the Congressional Press
Gallery.

The next edition of the Congressional
Directory will contain this line in the
list Of newspaper correspondents en-
titled to the privileges of the press gal
Iery under the very rigid rules that
now govern:
Topeka Capital. W. Ball"
In itself this does not appear signif1-
cant, but the insertion of that line
marks the end of long fought contro-
versy and signalizes the entrance into
the gallery upon the same basis as the
men of the first female correspondent.
There has always been a conservative
element in the ranks of the correspon-
dents which opposed the entrance of
women into the gallery, and for one
reason or another previous applicants
always possessed one weak point,
which, under the rules. justified the
standing committee in rejecting them.
But on Saturday the committee was
confronted with an application that
was proof, and as one of them re-
marked: eve mad to grant it. The
Rubicon, so to speak, has been
crossed" But the spirit of conserva-
tisrn is still strong. and while the COM
mittee could not summarily reject the
APPELLANT because she was a woman, as
the rules make no distinction of sex.
or of them said: 1--WE can control
the directory. so the name will ap-
pear as I. W. Ball and not Isabel Wor-
rell Ball.
But here it is, and every one can
read for himself the full name of the
first woman to break into the sacred
precincts of the press gallery.-Wash-
ington Post.

CLEVELAND, o., Jan. 25.-Postmas-
ter John c. Hutchins of this city has
suggested plan to Secretary of the
Treasury Carlisle which will probably
be acted upon and in measure assist
the government to maintain the gold
reserve, and considerable correspond
ence has taken place between the Off
Gals at Washington and the postmas-
ter.
A large portion of the receipts of the
postof1ce are in gold, and Mr.. Hutch
ms suggested that if all gold received
at postoff1ces throughout the country,
amounting to perhaps millions Of dol
lars annually, could be placed in the
United States treasury, and not de-
posted with the national banks, as
done in each city under the present
system, the scheme would result in
materially helping the maintenance OF
the gold reserve. The postmaster has
received a letter from Secretary Carl
isle thanking him for the suggestion
and has also had considerable CORE
spondence with Postmaster General
Wilson in reference to the subject

the Feature Yesterday.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The feature
of today's meeting of the National Ameri-
can Suffrage association was the de-
tailed report on organization.
The executive committee considered the
trouble over the so-called woman's BIZ
bic. and it was agreed that the question
was a personal one, of which the gen
eral organization could take no cognl-
zance.
A call for subscriptions to the general
fund resulted in the raising of S., 800.
The report of the committee on organ
ization was submitted by Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Gait She said in the work OF
the organization during the year, the
south was made the first field of labor.
Fourteen persons have served as organ
izers during the year, 80 meetings held,
and aid in organization given to thirty

Cady Stanton's birthday as fitting oc-
casion for the diffusion of suffrage senti-

viction that it is possible to build
great organization based on the one plat
form of the enfranchisement of women.
The plan of work for 1895 was pre-

urging women to watch all political pro-
ceedings and secure from candidates
pledges to support woman suffrage.
The session tonight was devoted to q
review of the field work in the various
states. and Mrs. Sanders, wife of ex-
United States Senator Sanders of Mon
tana. predicted that Montana would soon
contribute another star to the flag of
the suffragiSts.

ERected . Union.

HAVANA, Jan. 25.-Geueral Maceo
and leader Varona on the 10th inst
effected a union with DR.. Gainas. On
the 22d they entered Mantilla together
with leader Caras.
Maceo's forces were worn out from
the marches since his last engagement
at Tairona and Larados. Retreating
towards Plantation Calazo they were
again overtaien and defeated with
considerable loss on the part of the in
surgents.
Besides losing number of their men
they lost 500 horses and they were I'M
able, in the province of Ptnar del Rio,
to get any others. Consequently Maceo
has sent for achievements from the
province of Havana but up to the pres
ent time he has been unable to secure
the hoped-for assistance. Private SOL
diers who have arrived here agree that
Maceo's position is an unpleasant one
