CAKE AT ONE DOLLAR A SLICE.
The Children's Fair for Little Joe
White, the mind Wnif.


More than 1000 children were WORKING
for little Joseph White Saturday. says the
New York Journal. Joe is a walf who
Is half blind, but who, 1t IS believed, can
be saved from total loss of sight
1t was his benefit day in Masonic tenn
pie, but little, dark-skinned Joe was not
there. He, for good reasons, was left in
MS crib In the Women's Memorial hos
Pltal on the advice of Miss Agnes E,
Demonde of public school No. 3, the lady
who has done so much for him.
But Lawyer George A. Mott was in the
temple, and so was the big cake that he
not only made, but actually baked. 1t was
a mysterious affair of the fruit variety,
ana 1t must have been delicious, for slices
OF 1t were sold at 81 each, and the slices
were rather thin at that
Notwithstanding the almost prohtbitive
price, every crumb of that big-hearted
lawyers culinary creation was sold. And
the lawyer spoke piece and sang song
and joined in the dancing and did a whole
lot of ether things, all OF which were not
only edifying, but entertaining as we'll
He was the soul of jollity, he was the
life OF the fair, and he did all this for
poor little joe
we'll, both pretty. They sold lemonade
that came from it's depths, and proud
they were when they announced that in
the first half hour of the afternoon they
had taken In 81 for lemonade at cents
a glass;
There was doll show with bewitching
young, creatures Of pink china that look
ed as If they were alive. They were there
for votes. One, robed in white silk and
filmy gauze, by Miss Winfield Marshall
was pronounced faYorite A fascinating
bit OF art was that of Jennie T. Candheur,
which was symphony in blue silk and
velvet. Miss Helen James offered a doll
which she had dressed in organdie, from
which huttered streams of pink ribbons.
But there were other dolls, all of which
were regarded with anxious eyes by their
little dressmalkers of No. 8, and 1t must
be understood that every one of them was
surprisingly beautiful.
On the cake table were some very i'm
portant looking loaves, one with choco-
late coating and another with curls Of
icing on top. 1t cost money to become
possessed of one of those cakes, but every
one was taken home by somebody, and
the expenses were all the way from so
cents to $3.50.
Mrs. Whitcomb and Misses Emma and
Daisy Shelvin dispensed fancy articles
that brought in many and many a dollar
for little Joe, the waif. Hundreds of dol
lars were raised, but just how many could
not be learned last night.

HAYNAU's UNPARALLELED PERFIDY.
Stigma of a Dark Crime Removed
From the Austrian Crown.


An extraordinary revelation, which re-
moves from the Austrian crown the stig-
ma of one of the darkest crimes in the Eu-
ropean history of the country, is made by
Cornelius Abranji, a Hungarian publicist,
in the Budapest Maple. 1t refers to the
bloody drama of Arad, which closed the
revolutionary campaign of 1S48-49 in Hun
gary. 1t will be remembered that the
Hungarians were defeated only after Rus
STA had sent $4,000 troops under BaskIe-
wicz into the field against them. Gorgey
was at length obliged to capitulate and
surrender Internationally to the Russian
general. A number of Hungarian officers
generals and colonels-were handed over
or fell into the hands of the Austrlans.
Gorgey being released owing to the eX-
press wish of the Gear Nicholas. Haynau,
of evil fame, had Is Of these officers exc
cuted-some hanged and some shot at
Arad, although they were prisoners of
war. All Europe was indignant and 1t is
when Haynau, a year later, visited Eng
land he was terribly thrashed by the men
of well known brewery.
Now we are informed that Haynau was
guilty of a yet more terrible piece of per-
hdy. M. Aranyi declares that he has
proofs that the emperor, who was then 10
years old, pardoned the Hungarian insur-
gents and sent a special messenger to
Budapest, who arrived on October s, In
the evening, and breathlessly delivered
up the imperial document. Haynau, who
guessed what its purport would be, had
| the 13 patriots executed on the mornig
| Of the 9th, and opened the emperoF's let
| ter afterward.

1T WILL SHOOT SIXTEEN MILES.
New Gun That Takes Half "A Ton of
Powder to Each Load.


The Watervliet arsenal, near Troy, has
begun work preliminary to the casting
of the largest gun in the United States,
says the Boston Globe. 1t is to be of 16-
inch bore. The United States has built
two of the larger caliber for coast de-
lenses, but they were old-fashioned
smoothbores, and not to be compared to
the new gun in size, weight or anything
except caliber. There are two 2O-inch
guns, one Of which is mounted at Fort
Hamilton and one of which lies on the
ordnance dock at Governors island. These
guns were not startling successes. The
one at Fort Hamilton has been fired
few times and each time its racoil has
raised the very dickens with it's carriage.
The new gun will be nearly so feet long
Ito be accurate, 1857, feet, will have a
range of 1G miles and be able to pene-
trate 271S inches of the best steel armor
at a distance of two miles. The gun will
weigh 125 tons and it will throw solid
armor-piercing projectile Weighing 2SlO
pounds. When the projectile leaves the
muzzle of the gun 1t will be travelling at
the rate of 1000 feet a second, and if a
plate of harveyized steel 80 inches in
thickness were placed near the muzzle of
the gun it would be penetrated by the
flying mass of the projectile.
This gun, mounted at Fort Wadsworth,
would be able to hurl a 2570 pound pro-
jectile upon a hostile man-of-war before
she got within seven miles OF Sandy
Hook. England has in her coast de-
lenses and her navy 16 guns of 16-inch
caliber. and France has eight. Italy has
Is guns of 17-inch caliber. The new gun,
work upon which has now begun at Wa
tervliet, will be superior in effectiveness,
however, to the italian guns, although
they do have one inch more of caliber.
The maximum diameter of the breech
OF the new gun will be 81 inches.
The diameter Of the breach open
ing is 20 inches. To fire this gun will
require a charge of 1866 pounds Of powder,
If the usual brown prismatic kind is used.

WIT OF AN UNWILLING JUROR.
It's a Game That Never Gould Be
Worked I'm New York, Though.

A strange story is related of juryman
who outwitted a judge, and that without
lying, says the Boston Budget. He ran
into court in a desperate hurry and quite
out of breath and exclaimed:
"Oh, judge, If you can, pray excuse me!
1 don't know which viii die first, my
wife or my daughter
Dear, me, that's sad!" said the inno-
cent Judge. Certainly, you are excused"
The next day the juryman was mist by
a friend, who, in a sympathetic Voice,
asked:
Flows your wife?"
'She's all right, thank you"
And your daughter?''
"she's all right, too. Why do you
ask?' 80
why, yesterday you said you did not
know which would die first"
Nor do I. That is the problem which
time alone can solve"

Sunday.

Matt. Raklis who keeps saloon on East
Centre street, in the First ward was arraigned
before Justice Shoemaker this morning,
charged by Joe Wulis, of Ellangowan, with
having sold beer and liquor on Sunday, 10th

When the case was called Raklis entered a
plea of not guilty and demanded a hearing,
whereupon the accuser made oath himself
and brought forward three witnesses who
swore to the truth of the charge, stating the
quantity of liquor sold and the money paid
for it, Raklis still maintained his innocence,
but Justice Shoemaker required him to fur
nish bail in the sum of $500 for trial at

behind the case, but he failed to get any
thing from any of the parties to confirm bis
supicion.

Washington, May 27.-1'he first vote
on the tariff bin was taken in tine SEN
ate Yesterday It came after two
hours debate on the item of boracic
acid, which, although comparatively
unimportant afforded an opportunity
for the first alignment of the various
elements.
Mr.. Vest. of Missouri, a Democratic
member of the finance committee,
moved to make the rate on boracic
acid three cents instead of five cents
per pound, as provided by the com
mlttee. This presented a direct issue
between the committee and the op-
ponents of the bill. The amendment
was defeated by a vote of 20 to "a. The
vote was largely on party lines. The
affirmative was made up of 19 Demo
Gratis and 1 Populist, Heitfel The mega
tive was made up of 20 republicans, 2
Democrats (McEnery of Louisiana and
White of California;, silver Republi-
cans Cannon of Utah and Jones of
Nevada) and / Populist (Stewart of
Nevada.
The debate was participated in by
Senators Vest, Jones (Ark.), Aldrich,
Perkins, White, Caffery, Gray and
Stewart. Mr. White, a Democratic
member Of the finance committee, OPP
posed Mr. Vests amendment, urging
that the California industry required
the rate allowed by the committee.
Seven paragraphs of the bill were
considered during the day, the COM
mittee being sustained in each in

The resolution was agreed to au-
thorizing the secretary of the navy to

THE RETROCESSION OF THESSALY
The Turks Refuse Even TO Discuss That
Matter, Assuming That the Province
Must be Ceded to Turkey.
Ralli Exiles an italian
Leader

London, May 27-The correspondent
of The Standard at Constantinople
says; The council of ministers has de-
cided to prolong the armistice. 1t will
refuse even to discuss the retrocession
Of Thessaly, but viii leave the other
points for consideration to the powers.
So far as the note to the European ar
bitrators is concerned, there can be no
doubt that whether the sultan is only
bluEing or is the victim of popular
pressure, a peace such as Europe ex-
poets cannot be arranged without risk
of the gravest complications.
The grand vizier on Saturday pre-
sented a report to the sultan urging
that the whole of Islam was fully de-
termined to retain Thessaly, and add
ing: your majesty proved victorious
in Armenian and other matters when
you firmly refused to be dictated to
by Europe. Therefore you should be
equally firm on this occasion. But if
my views are unpalatable to your ma
jesty I beg Of you to accept my resig-
nation"
1t now appears that the armistice
was for three days only, and nothing
but the energy of the powers secured
an extension for a fortnight. The story
is current that a wounded Turkish sol
dier at the Yildiz hospital, on being in
vited by the sultan to proffer a dying
request, implored him not to yield up
Thessaly. The sultan grew pale and
his eyes filled with tears.
Seyfullah Bey, chief Of staff to the
sultan and the Won Moltke of the cam
paign has been summoned to Constan-
tinople.
