DUNRAVEN SAILS AWAY.
Embarked on The Umbria While the
Investigation Was Still Pending.

NEW YORK. Dee. 3l-Lord Dunraven has
sailed for England. With him went Arthur
Gieonie his friend. They took passage in
the Umbria Of the Cunard line. In eftecting
the object OF their visit they We're
thoroughly disappointed. The noble Earl
had failed most siEnally to suhstantiate
his charge # fraud against the members Of
the syndicate which built the De-
fender. 1t was made clear that fourteen
tons OF extra ballast would have made crab

that the triple transfer Of such an amount Of
ballast was practically an impossibility.

raven was beaten at every point There was
not single statement favorinG his case
which was not thorougy explained Al
though given the fullest and fairest oppor-
tunty he failed to substantiate any of his
statements.
Consequently, having seen how the wind
blew, and having fired the last shot in his
locker, without any other effect than

his belongings and sailed for England.

The philanthropy Of George W.
Parker, founder of the Parker Boston
Helping Hand Mission and Home, has
for the past 13 years been advanta-
geously shown in the work he has done
in the interests of unfortunate men. 1t
is at this season Of the year, however,
when he is in his happiest mood, on
the occasion of the annual Christmas
dinner given to men who have been
recommended worthy by the missions
and the police. The 18th ANIMAL
feast occurred in Faucuil Hall aud 800
men were made happy. Mr.. Parker
had anticipated the empty stomachs
by procuring nearly 700 pounds
Of turkey and a proportionate quantity
of potatoes, corn, pies, rolls, coffee,
apples and oranges, which comprised
the menu. 1t was not course din
ner. 1t was a go-as-yon-pleasc, but
it was orderly. Those who ate with
fingers, i'll the haste to satisfy hunger,
were forgiven, rs were those who sur
reptitiously sid extra rolls into their
pockets. They were not aware where
the next meal would come from. 1t
was an interesting study to watch
those men who came from all nations.
Black and white, educated and litter
ate, fat and thin, met on a common
level. There was not a man who had
vicious look. They were simply
nntortnnntes.

They Don't Need Licenses.

Judge Burke of the municipal
court informed Captain Cain OF sta.
tion | that there was nothing in the
statutes to compel the dance hall
keepers of the North end to obtain
licenses. The point on which the
matter hinged was whether the
dance hail keepers could be said
to charge an admission fee, as
the statute says any place of
entertainment "to which admission is
obtained upon payment of money or
the selling Of any valuable thing,
must be licensed aud come under the
control of the police. The con-
tcntion of the hall proprietors is that
the sale Of liquid refreshment of the
kind they sell is entirely within the
limit Of the law, and that the buying
of drink is entirely optional aud a
'matter of honor with the men who
come into the hall. They maintain that
money paid for the drinks cannot
be counted as an admission fee, and
therefore they are not within the scope
of the license statute. Rev. G. l.. ID.
Younkin, director of the North end
mission, has done great deal toward
purifying the North end of the ques-
tionable resorts that once made it
notorious, and he stated that whatever
the claims of the dance hall keepers
may be, the moral influence of the
hall is not good.

, LATIN UNION.


MENtCO, Mex. Dec 3l-A movement of
great significance, looking to the union Of all
the Latin American nations has been begun
in Salvador. 1t was started by a political
group which has taken the name of the par
liamentary party, having primarily for
its object the substitution in Central
America of the reign of parliamentary
bodies for the rule OF the despots called
presidents This movement has Il still
broader aim, which is to bring about the in
stltucion OF Il LatinAmerican congress, with
delegates from Mexico and Central and
South America, to be convoked whenever
matters Of continental interest are upper
most.
This congress ol its first assembling shall
choose Il diet which shall be permanent, and
shall act as arbitrator between all Latin
American nations having questions at issue
among themselves. The diet sha whenever
any Latin American country is threatened
by a European nation. institute Il general
tariff war against the offending nation. bar
ring out its goods For example. all Latin
America will be asked to cease importing
from England till she abandons her designs
on Venezuelan territory.
All Latin-American countries are to be
asked to combine to complete the Nicaragua
canal, and 50 prevent other countries from
having any ground for intervening in Cen
traI America on any preteXt. The designs OF
Europe, and especially of England. in this
ease are suspicious. and should the United
States be crippled by war, s 1uth and Central
America would be partitonel among the
European nations exactly as has been done
with Africa. 1t is, therefore. necessary. they
declare, for Latin-Americn not to depend Oh
the enforcement of the Monroe doctrine bv
the United States, which in time OF trouble
may be unable to compel obedience.

Some of the prominent journals in
France are decrying the proposition
for Paris exposition in 1900, on the
ground that such exhibitions have
come to do more harm than good, and
are a sort of industrial and social de-
bauch. The attitude assumed by
these French journals has somewhat
broad ground. A simply utilitarian
exhibition would not attract paying
crowds. Without sensational features
in which the Chicago Worlds Fair
must be outdone, Paris cannot offer
anything startling enough to prove a

Boston to Lead.

A meeting of representative busl-
ness men of this city was held at
Young's hotel to consider what meas
ures should be taken to support the
American National Red Cross society
in its proposed work Of taking imme-
dlate relief to the Armenians in Tur-
key. The meeting was called by Hagop
Bogigian of the Boston Armenian relief
committee. AS result Of the meeting,
immediate steps will be taken toward
raising $5OO,O00. Meetings will be
held in this city to further the work
md relief committees will be cstab-
Iished in all large New England cities.
Mr.. Bogigian presided at the confer

The very large increase III the estl-
mates of the expenses OF BostonS pub
lie schools for the coming year is
mainly accounted for by the items OF
ordinary and extraordinary repairs of
schoolhouses, which will call for an
outlay OF about 500, 600, according
to the committees calculations. This,
together with the additional outlay in
volved by the proposed increase in the
salaries Of the instructors, carries the
item for school expenditures to 50, SO,
0O,against an appropriation Of 81, 952,
600 for the present year. Atthls rate of
interest in our municipal eXpendi-
lures, the problem of keeping the
city expenses within its income prom
ises to be hard one for Mayor
Quincy. Quite likely his pruning
knife will be equal to the occasion,
though there is no doubt That extern
sive improvements in the sanitary con-
dition of our school houses is impera-
lively demanded.

The Passing orthc Birds.

The lament OF the public over the
passing OF wild animals is familiar.
Step by step they have retired from all
but the extreme northern portions of
New England, and even there they are
being eXtorminated as fast Ms possible.
The buffalo has disappeared from the
western pralries; the wolves have re-
tired to places of safety; the famous
grizzly is less and less frequently
TO be found this side the Rockies, and
the time is not distant when through
out the length and breadth of the couu-
try nearly all the wild animals will
have become extinct. Now YOU
can travel all day in the
White Mountain forests without dis
covering II wild creature OF any kind
neither partridge, fox, rabbit, nor
squirrel, and the absence of this life,
which is natural to the forest, gives u
Loneliness to the woods that they did
not once have. But all this is familiar
TO us, while the passing of the birds
is now discovered almost for the first
time. Last summer there were fewer
of the familiar birds that come to New
England III the warm weather than
usual. and their varied notes in the
early morning were greatly missed
Such birds as we are familiar
with are chiefly domestic in
their character, and like to make
their summer homes close to our
houses They seek the protection OF
man, and when they meet with shot
gun or lind their places and rights
contested by the sparrows, most of
them retire from the conflict. The
southern people lament the decrease
of the birds which are characteristic
of that part OF the country. In some
quarters entire species have been de-
stroyed by the demand for them on
account of their brilliant plumage,
and for various reasons the parrots
and pigeons, which have always
been numerous at the South, have
lately greatly decreased. Undoubtcd-
ly the sparrow, who is selfish and
wicked bird, and whose numbers null
tlply rapidly, has possessed the field
to such an extent that many of the
birds Of the South are prevented from
visiting their customary huunts, but
tits to be feared that other causes have
quite as much to do in the eXtermina-
tion of the brilliant songsters of the
South rs the greed OF the sparrows,
