The Brazilian claim upon Guiana, it
seems, did not amount to much. The Her
AIDS correspondent at Rio de Janeiro tel
egraphs that it has been officially announc-
ed by the government that the claim of
Brazil to all territory in Guiana has been
renowned. The announcement was made
recently that the Briziiian government
had in its possession documents which
would prove that the territory claimed by
Great Britain and by Venezuela really be-
longed to neither of them, but to the Bra
lillian government.

The information that Mr.. William Wal
dorf Astor has sworn allegiance to the
queen is not received with good grace by
some Of the New York newspapers. They
seem to hold the opinion that because the
Aston millions were made in America, all
of the Astors ought to remain Americans
and spend their money in this country.
There are various reasons given as to
why MIR Aston has become a Briton. One
is to the effect that by changing his ma
tionality he can. and will, become a peer.
Another is that he'will not only become a
peer, but win contract brilliant marriage.
with a princess, or something Of the sort.
Mr.. Aston has not been in America since
the Drayton-Borrowe affair. lie is As
years old. From iss2 to 1885 he served
this country as minister to Italy.

is most horrible record, and one which
the good, law-abiding citizens of the state
should make every effort to sponge out.
There is not county in Kentucky which
has not perfect legal machinery for the
punishment of crime. If the lynchers
made way with their victims because they
lacked confidence in the legal machinery,
they should themselves be run through
the mills of the courts, and thus have it
demonstrated to them that their lack of
confidence was not well grounded.

CANED A THESPIAN.
Hotel Cashier Wells Beats GUS HiII,s
Manager. ia

Nhat the spectators agree was most un-
called for and unprovoked attack was COM
mitted by Cashier Wells upon Manager Rose.
of the Gus Hill Specially company in the Of
flee of the Metropolitan hotel yesterday morn
Ing. 1t appears that Rose on Friday instruct
ed an expressman to call for a trunk which
he wished to send to Buffalo, but Wells inti-
mated that the trunk would not be allowed
to leave the hotel until the bill had been
settled. Rose appealed to the clerk on duty,
got permission to send out the trunk paid
his bill, and turning to Wells, told him plain
ly what he thought of him. This apparently
enraged the cashier, who went to the billiard
room, secured cue and laid it back of the
counter near his desk. When, yesterday
morning, Rose came down from his room,
preparatory to going to Minneapolis, where
the company opened last night, he went to
the desk with his grips and canes, ETC., in his
hands, and said to the clerk that he supposed
that he would be allowed to take away his
effects. He started away, but had gone no
farther than the middle OF the hotel office,
when Wells came up to him from behind
and struck him a nasty blow over the head
with the cue. Rose dropped his grips and
made an effort to escape further punishment,
but Wells followed him up and struck him
twice again, inflicting several contusions
about the head. The office was full Of people,
and Wells came in for some severe criticism
for his cowardly methods. Gus Hill and
other members of the Nconpany were on the
spot in a short time, and. scored the cashier
in unmeasured terms
Clerk -Armstead was asked about the mat
ter last night, but said he preferred to say
nothing about the unfortunate incident.

they slept for sorrow, while the gentle
Savior excuses by saying, The spirit truly
is willing, but the flesh is weak. Also our
eyes are heavy, and there is reason for sorrow
that the cause Of Jesus suffers at the hands
of enemies, and true it is that the flesh is
weak, but every one of these excuses is IT.
self a reason for great watchfulness, lest
overborne by heavy eyes and natural IN
hrmlty We sleep when Jesus calls and needs
our ministry. There are reasons for wake
fuiness that make the excuses for slumber
sink into insignifcance. Jesus commanded
them to tarry and watch with Him, and that
order rings out to the believers in Jesus
today. They were menaced by great dan
ger. They knew the malignant hatred of the
rulers; recognized the fact that they would
do everything that was in their power to
capture and kill their Lord and disperse His
followers and annihilate the kingdom of
God. But when was the world more malig-
nant in its opposition than now? When was
organized ungodliness more set to overthrow
the ethics of Jesus? organized unbelief more
combined to destroy the truth as He taught
it? or hated more deadly against the person
of Jesus than this very day? If ever the
disciples should be awake, the time is now.
We sleep while the destiny of the world
hangs in the balance; while sin lays plans,
raises mobs, and approaches the place where
the Son Of Man is wrestling still for hu-
manity's good; while Jesus bleeds His work
languishes; the peace Of the world to death
is swiftening, sleep on the brink of ruin
and at the open door of opportunity, a de-
rision to men and devils

MORE OF CHRIST.
What Elder Phelps Considers the
Need of the Times.

Another deeply interesting subject was pre-
sented last night at the Wacouta street chap
ell by Pastor H. F. Phelps. The course OF
reasoning was to show that the plan Of sal
walton was devised In the eternity Of the
past, and was entered upon Just as soon as
sin entered. The speaker reasoned that
living, personal Christ, in all generations,
is the very kernel, the living, animating
principle Of the plan Of salvation. Nor are
the men Of today obliged to go back to Cal
vary to find the Christ of today; for the cere-
monies of the ancient temple service were but
figures, or living pictures Of that still grand
er and more sublime service Of the living
Christ in the very heavens. They were
appointed to teach the men of that age that
the great heavenly sacrifice had already been
made, and that by faith every soul could
embrace Christ personal Savior. But
the grand truths designed by these ceremonies
were lost to their sight, under their sordid,
worldly ideas that salvation was in the perfor-
nance of these ceremonies. They did not
know the Christ when He did come for f'He
came unto His own and His own received
Him not" and not knowing Him, they put
Him to death.
The danger Of today lies in trusting in
the performance of the ordinances of religion
to make one Christian; which is but form
Of godliness without the power. The great
est need Of the church is to know Christ.

a Deputy Sheriff.


Deputy Sheriff Kinney will arrive in the city
this morning from Chicago having in Gus
tody j. B. Wallace, who is wanted here on
the charge of obtaining money under false
pretenses. Wallace was formerly an en-
ploye of the West Publishing company, and it
is alleged obtained $3.50 from fellow en-
ploye on the representation that he had a
three-year contract with the firm. when in
reality his contract had expired and he was
about to leave the city.
A warrant issued for the arrest of
Wallace two weeks ago, but he eluded the Of
fcers and left the city. 1t was supposed that
he had gone to Chicago and the police of the
Windy City were asked to keep a lookout for
him.
Sheriff Chapel received a telegram Friday
morning stating that man answering the
description of Wallace had been located and
asking for further Information. Deputy
Sheriff Kinney took an evening train for Chi
cago, and yesterday wired that the suspect
was Wallace. with whom he would leave i'm

woFUL PENSION DEFICIT.
A Veteran BewaiIs an American
Beauty,s Waste.

To the Editor Of the Globe.
am an active member of the committee on
campfres for the coming Grand Army Of the
Republic encampment, and whenever hear or
see real good thing. 1 do my level best to
corral it-"gather it in" for future G. A. R.
occasions. l had before heard, and once met,
the young lady who was to sing the Star
Spangled Banner at the Bethel patriotic en-
tertainment Friday night. / knew she was
grand good girl, with a voice and heart that
would prove very valuable acquisitions to our
cause, so l started out to enlist her interest IN
the Grand Army of the Republic in general,
and Acker post in particular. At first thought
I would buy big bouquet and throw 1t at her
when she had sung her first song; but when
came to price appropriate ones, discovered
that my limited income (pension) would not
stand one Then 1 thought land it was a
happy thoughD that nothing could be more
appropriate than one big. red rose. An Am
erican Beauty" for an American beauty. (So
l hurried from one florists shop to another.
Ny experience in buying roses for young ladies
has been very limited indeed. but when the
last of them sang out "six dollars dozen
"for those big American beauties with long
STEMS" said I, 81 can get them for 10 cents a
piece or three for 25.'' ooh, they are short
stemmed ones. People don't care much for
them" ''The long stems are altogether in
style now. ana Ine longer LHe SIeHl, tuo
longer the rose will keep in bloom, and be
fresh and sweet, and the leaves won't fall off
50 soon.'' gave him the so cents for great
big beauty, with a stem two feet long and
fresh green leaves all along. And 1 rushed
down to the Bethel boat.
Well she sang the "Spangled Banner" and
did 1t with a will,
And they cheered her till the Bethel rang
again;
She just captivated everybody on that Bethel
boat
All the women and the children and the men.
Then small boy toddled UP to her and pre-
sented my big rose,
Which she took with smile both beautiful
and rare,
And my old heart went pit-a-pat as she
pressed it to her-nose,
And felt that I was glad that 1 was there
But she broke my heart in two,
When I saw what she did do-with my gem
For she didn't do thing but break 1t half
in two,
And throw away a quarters worth of stem.

WANT A VIGOROUS POLICY.
Sacred Thirst Society Spurs on the
Grand Jury.

The Sacred Thirst Total Abstinence society
yesterday passed resolutions demanding a
vigorous policy from the grand jury, wher
it meets again, as follows:
Whereas, the law requires the grand jury
to inquire. into all public offenses, General
Statutes, chapter 107, section q, and to in.
quire into the wilful or corrupt miscon-
duct in office of any public officer, General
Statutes, chapter 107 section 81, and requires
the court to specifically charge the grand
jury to inquire into such misconduct and
indict or present those who may be guilty
thereof, General Statutes, chapter lot, section
g. And,
Whereas, the law makes 1t the duty of the
mayor, the city attorney, the chief of police
and every policeman to make complaint o.
any violation of any law regulating the traf-
hc in intoxicating liquors. Laws of 1875, chap
ter so; and any mayor, judge, sheriff. justice,
constable other officer who wilfully neg
iects or refuses to perform any duty required
by such law, is guilty of a malfeasance in
office and punishable as therein provided,
1887, chapter 6, section 8.
Be 1t therefore Resolved, That the Sacred
Thirst Total Abstinence society, in the name
of temperance, law and order persons de-
mand that at the ensuing May term of the
district court, the court shall specifically
charge the grand jury upon this subject as
the law provides, and that the grand jury ba
compelled to perform this duty as so pro-
vided, and thus indict such officers and sup
press the open and notorious violation OF
such laws,
