PeltS, d. d., also of New Jersey, had
the enviable honor of having been
chosen the president of the first Inter-
national convention.
From these two starting points, the
movement has gone on increasing in
magnitude and power. The Sunday
school, since its origin, has always been
a source of especial strength among the
English speaking people. 1t is indeed
one of their crowns In England, l6
years ago. the royal family, the arch
bishop of Canterbury and other digni-
taries of the established church, with
the Lord Mayor of London and other
distinguished civilians, celebrated the

a heavy shortage in the state appropria-
ton, the school trustees are forced to
close school this week. Instead of get

advice to the free silver republicans Of
Colorado, send Senator Teller to the

Senator Tillman concluded: 1.-THE
country is going to hell; let us show the
world that we know it and that we are
determined to interfere"
Senator Tillman was rendered a re-
cePtion at the Brown Palace hotel to-
night After being welcomed by Mayor
McMurray, he was presented with a
pitchfork made from gold and silver
taken fromlthe mines of Colorado.
Hon. e. R. Holden, who made the pre-.
sentation speech, said:
Take this pitchfork back to the
United States senate, and dig up the rec.
ord of Senator Sherman, and then dig
down into the history of John G. Car

This remark was received with great
applause by the large assemblage that

saying: al stand by Colorado, and all |

THOUSANDS OF PAUPERs
Immigrant Authorities Appall-
ed at the Great Influx.
Many Italians May be Returned-NOI
More Than Ten a'er Cent VIII Ever
Land-Fifteen Thousand Have Al.
ready Arrived.

New York, April I3.-The Herald
this morning says; The steamer Bo.
livia of the Anchor line, arrived from
Genoa and Naples yesterday She
brought 1876 Italian immigrants. Six
hundred Of them were detained at Ellis
Island on the ground that they are
likely to become public charges. OF
this number none had more than dol
lar or SO, while many Of them were
practically penniless. DR.. Senner said
that only about 10 per cent. of those
detained would be allowed to land.
The steamer Alesia, of the Fabre line
also from Naples, reached the bar at 10
O'Clock last evening with 1864 on board.
They will be landed at Ellis Island this
morning. The immigrant authorities
are appalled, 1t the great influx of Ital-
ian paupers. More than 1900 have
already arrived and DR.. Senner has
received advices that $4,000 more are
about to sail from Naples.
Dr. SeRner is very alert and is enforc-
ing the immigration laws to the letter,
particularly ino the case of Italians, in
hopes of discouraging their fellow
countrymen, but this apparently has no
effect on them, He has been compelled
to increase his force of employees on
Ellis Island and has frequently impor-
tuned the department at Washington to
aid in relieving the station.

vate the earth should own it. He would
except homes from sale not only under
execution, but from every description
of taxes. In granting divorces, he
would give the wife a divorce "if she
requested It, If she wanted It," There
is no danger in demoralizing the world
through divorce. He would not allow
the man to cast off the wife unless she
had hagrantly violated the marriage
contract.
But for the sake of the community
he would grant the woman a divorce for
the asking. There would never be gen
Grafton of great men until there had been
a generation of free women. The
speaker referred to the labor question
and said he saw no satisfactory solution of
1t except through the civilization of the
employers and employed. Great rail-
roads should pay pensions to their worn
out employees and care for them in their
old age. The employee must learn to
make reasonable demands of his en-
ployer.
Every child should be taught to be
self-supporting and everyone should be
taught to avoid being burden to others
as it would shun death. Children should
be taught to think, to investigate, to re-
ly upon the light of reason. Nothing
should be taught in any school that the
teacher does not know, Beliefs, super
stitions, theories should not be treated
like demonstrated facts. The child
should be taught to investigate, not to
believe. To hasten to the coming of the
golden dawn of the perfect day, we
must educate the children, we must
commence at the cradle, at the lap of
the loving mother. Let every human
being, concluded Col. Ingersoll, do all
the good he can and let him build up
up the wounds of his fellow creatures
and at the same time put forth every eff
fort to hasten the coming of the better
day. This in my judgment is the real
religion. To do all the good you can is
to be saint in the highest and noblest
sense

Lehi Lines.

Lehi, April I2.-Some of the ordi-
nances passed by our late republican
city council came very nearly precipi-
tating legal battle of no small dimen-
sions. 1t all came about through the
efforts of the local leaders of the repub-
lican party to punish the owner of the
Lehi opera house for not casting his lot
with the free silver executioners. One
of the laws passed compelled any person
desiring to give an entertainment or
ball of whatever kind or description, to
first procure license therefor. tt ey
little thought that their work would
prove boomerang and come back like
Banqno's ghost to haunt its originators !;
but SO it proved, The law worked all
right as long as people would pay the
license for wedding parties or card
soeials; but when the choir gave a
social party in the Lehi Commercial
bank building, refusing to pay the
required license, then the trouble began.
The mayor was ayerse to crowding mat
tiers, because the majority of the male
members of the choir were republicans
who had sworn by the biggest idol in
the republican joss house that if they
were compelled to pay the license that
they would labor increasingly until the

Rebel Indians Raid the Town of
Juquueia, Mexico.

City of Mexico, April IA telegram
from Oaxaca city this afternoon stated
that the rebel Indians at the town of
Juqueld killed all the town councillors,
school teachers, local priests, chief of
police and the telegraph operator
fact everyone hol,ling government
place. The people are in terror.
The rebels began their plotting in
holy week, instigated by Indian lawyers,
who informed them that the new state
state taxes were unconstitutional, but
the authorities paid no attention to the
excitement among them, considering
that they were engagedin their drunken
celebration of the season. But proeur-
ing arms and machetes, they made a
rush for the town hall, and the perfect
hastily closed the doors, which they
soaked with petroleum and burned,
thus affecting an entrance. They
sacked the place, penetrating the private
apartments of the project, and grossly
maltreated the women of his family
and then, turning their attention to the
officials and armed servants, killed and
wounded several. The scene was hor-
rible one, as the assault took place in
the early evening and the5excitement OF
the mob was indiscribable. The mob
of drunken Indians, after saeking the
town hall, went to the federal stamp
office and assaulted 1t, burning down the
outside door with petroleum, which also
communicated fire to the entire house
placing Collector Grwciada, who was or
the roof with his clerks, in most peril
ous position; but they managed to es
cape by the rear, jumping for their lives
Many shops were burned after being
sacked and the Indians decorated them
selves with fnery. They all fed on the
approach of tho soldiers aud aresnow in
the hills. The revolt is local and will
be suppressed and the instigators of the
Indians will be severity punished, as
they took advantage of their gross IT,
norance. 81
