THE CARS RICHEST CHURCH,
Lillian Bell Describes the Famous
Mass at Saint Isaac's I'm st. Peters,
burg-f1eavenIy Voices.

The famous mass held on Christmas
eve in the cathedral Of Saint Isaac was
n of the most beautiful services [ ever
attended, writes Lillian Bell, from ST..
Petersburg, Russia, in Ladies' Home
Journal. In the first place, Saint
lsaac's is the richest church in all Rus
STA. 1t has, too, the most wonderful
choir, for the ear loves music, and
wherever i'll all his empire a beautiful
voice is found the boy is brought to
ST. Petersburg and educated by the
state to enter the emperor's choir.
When we entered the church the service
had been in progress for five hours.
Tha immense church was packed to
suffocation. In the Greek church every
one stands, no matter how long the
service, for there are no seats.
By degrees we worked our way to-
ward the space reserved for the diplo-
matte corps, where we were invited to
enter. Our wraps were taken and
chairs were given US. We found our
selves on the platform with the priest,
just back of the choir. What heavenly
voices! What wonderful voices! The
bass holds on to the last note, and the
rumble and echo of it rolls through
an organ. The long-haired priest, too,
had a wonderfully resonant voice for
intoning. He passed directly by us in
his gorgeous cloth of gold vestments,
as he went out.

RA1NOR CONVICTED.
Charged With Running Joint on
West Curtis Street.

Frank. Raynor, who was charge with
running joint at 400 West Curtis street,
was convicted today in the district court.
1t took the jury only a few minutes to
arrive at a conclusion.
In this case Judge Hazen rebuked
witness who was trying to avoid answer
ing when he asked what he sold.
The man was eX-Policeman John Ewing,
who acted as barkeeper for Raynor.
He said that the stuff he dispensed was
known as hop tea and cold tea. City At
torney Bird asked Ewing if the stuff he
had called cold tea was not in reality
whisky.
Il don't know, said Ewing; they called
for cold tea
Then Judge Hazen interposed: This
won't do. You are man of maturity and
you know the difference between whisky
and cold tea and 1 want you to tell me
what it was you sold'
Then the witness weakened and admit
ted that it was whisky.
This made a plain case against Raynor
and the case was given to the jury with
out argument.
Raynor was convicted in police court
and appealed his case. He was charged
with maintaining nuisance and his
tence will be a fine of 500 and 80 days in
Jail, and he will also be required to pay
the costs in the case. This will mean a
term of over 200 days in the city Jail for
Raynor.
With the conviction of Raynor the GRIM
inal business was closed up temporarily.
There are three four more liquor cases
to be tried later in the term.

WALL STREET RESPONDS.
Regiment of 1000 Volunteers and
the Brokers Will Furnish the
EQuipme nts.

New York, April 19.-Washington E.
Conner said yesterday that pledges
enough had been already secured to
make it certain that there would be no
difficulty in obtaining, in case of an
outbreak of hostilities with Spain, the
required sum of 100000 for the equip
men. No officers had been selected for
the projected regiment, he added, but
well known military man had consented
to become it's colonel, If it should be
desired.
From other sources it was learned
that the project originated with either
Mr.. Connor or Theodore w. Meyers, and
on being preached on the floor of the
stock exchange last Friday or Saturday,
was received with enthusiasm by the
brokers, who Immediately pledged it
their support.
The regiment will comprise men not
affiliated with the stock exchange as
well as exchange members and their
employees. Many privateS and not a few
officers of regiments of the national
guard who are engaged in business in
and near the street, are among those
who have already sent to Mr.. Conner
or Mr.. Meyers their application for en-
liStment.
Many of the banks have in their en-
plOy from one to half a dozen members
each of the national guard, and several
bank presidents said that if these en-
ployes or others should join the regi-
ment, their places would be kept for
them and their salaries would continue
during their absence in the field.

SOCIALISTS FIGHT.
Social Democracy Leaders are De-
nounced as Boodlers and Punish
ed for Suggesting Union.

Milwaukee, April ia free fight and
almost a riot was caused by a commit
tee of the Social Democracy which at
tempted to court favor with the So
ciaIistic Labor party at a meeting at
Koult's hall last night.
The Social Democracy met in the aft
ernoon and passed resolutions asking
the Socialistic Labor party to unite
with them. The resolutions recited that
both parties advocated the same princi-
pies and that they were working along
the same lines and should work tOgeth-
er. Paul Grottkau, the Social Democ-
racy advocate, who was brought here
from California for work during the re-
cent city election, and Jacob MaVowski
were appointed committee to wait on
the Socialistic Labor party and present
the resolutions. This they did.
AS soon as they were read mem bers
of the party generally got up and de-
nounced the Social Democracy, declar-
ing that they were not Social Demo-
Gratis, but that they were simply a gang
of unprincipled bOodlers. aul Grottkau
attempted to reply and he and his part
ner on the committee and several other
members of the Social Democracy were
set upon by the SocialiStic Labor crowd.
They were knocked down and kicked,
and were badly beaten. Grottkau and
his friends finally backed out of the
hall. and were pursued down the street
by the Infatuated Socialists.

Spaniards and Supplies Leave New
York for Havana.

New York, April 19.-When the Span
ish line steamship Panama leaves for
Havana and Mexican ports tomorrow,
she will have on board about $50 Span
ish residents of this city, whose depar-
ture is being arranged by the Spanish
consul general, and 10000 barrels of
provisions for the Spanish army in
Cuba These include grain, flour, corn,
beans, pork, bacon, ham, lard, and but
ter.
Instructions for assisting those Span
iards who wish to leave the country
came to Senior Baldasano from the
Spanish minister at Washington. Of the
three thousand Spaniards in this city
only about one hundred and fifty will
leave on the Panama. They are princi-
pally those who have no business ties
here and can leave without any sacri-
flee.
Consul General Baldasano said that
so far about 80 passports had been is
sued to his compatriotS, who expect to
sail on the Panama. The great major
ity of Spanish residents here will re-
main. Even if hoStilitieS are declared
they feel assured of their safety in this
city. Those who wish to leave, but
have not the means to pay for the pas
sage, will be transported free of charge.
All those sailing tomorrow will be land
ed at Havana, but some may be sent
later to Porto Rico. The consul general
ridiculed the idea that they would join

Officers of the Panama reported that
quiet prevailed in Havana when she sailed
for this port last Friday night Some of
the passengers said the arrnistice pro-
claimed by General Blanco seemed to have
had little effect, for skirmishes had been
engaged in since it had been declared
The residents of Havana, passengers stat
ed, were frequently awakened at night
by firing. Captain Quevada said all of
the Spanish authorities in Havana insisted
that the nations honor should be upheld
even by recourse to arms.
The Ward line steamship Seneca will
also leave for Havana and Mexican ports
tomorrow. She will have on board a GUAM
tity of supplies believed to be for the
Spanish army. The British steamship

Secretary Coburn Issues Farm and
Dairy Report.

Secretary Coburn of the state board of
agriculture today issued q report for the
quarter ending March a. 1888, entitled
THE Plow, Cow and Steer The report
contains the proceedings of the twenty
seventh annual meeting of the society,
together with much interesting matter
pertaining to the farming and dairy inter-
estS of the state. In the Introduction to
the report Secretary Coburn says:
Kansas farmers learning year by
year that their business, if profitable, must
be so conducted that it is not the mere
playing of a game of chance with the
weather or with a single crop; that a
somewhat diversified, yet not too scatter
ing, agriculture, and a studying of and
adaptation to climatic conditions, the de-
mands and the markets, are essential (not
as elsewhere. Those who most fully rec
ognize the conditions and most intelli-
gently respond to their memorable require
ments are real izing fair large pros
perity. Others who persistently defy
them are ready to declare that farming
is no longer a source of profit that farm
ers are slaves of those in other pursuits
ana that the times are politically, finan-
cfalIy and morally out of joint. Although
the men who conduct the business OF
farming with the same energy and skill
as the successful merchant or professional
man will reap the same, and, as a rule
a greater and more certain measure of
reward; the time has passed, however, if
II ever existed, when fortunes were made
by unskilled owners of farms, large or
small, anywhere. Convincing proof of
either proposition can be found in almost

TO go to Cuba with the army of invas-

Col. Funston was in the city yester-

said:
notice a tendency on the part of
our people to underestimate the
strength of the Spanish forces The
army OF occupation in Cuba includes
loo,ooo spanish regulars, augmented by
$4,000 volunteers.
Independent of the regular army and
volunteers are 10000 guerillas. natives
of Cuba, but fighting much as the
guerillas fought for plumber during our
own war of the rebellion
with the present facilities Blanco
can concentrate forty to fifty thousand
troops for the defense of Havana within
a very few days.
cit will be seen that the Spaniards
can muster for the defense of Havana
twice the number of troops contained in
the regular army in this country
1.-THE impression seems to prevail that
the Spanish soldiers are beardleSs boys,
unframed and lacking discipline. This
IN the main is decidedly erroneous. The
soldiers are the average age ranging
from 20 to "a. 1t is the habit of the
spanish soldiery to go smooth shaver
boyish.
Il firmly believe that an army of six
" or seVenty-five thousand of Yankee
boys can drive the Spanish from Cuba.
Inc 1nSurgent army is composed OF
reasonably brave men, but 1 believe
that more effective campaign can be
Waged by RELOCATING the army of Cuba

The Cuban soldiers would be better out
of the way and not hanging on the
skirts of the American soldiers
