Today, all the administration organs
are busy explaining that President Nc

not sold out the ountr to Spain, that he
is vigilant, and patriotic, n brave, and
that il Congress will only wait q day or
two. he win do all that the country could

Very well. Perhaps the President Is
brave. Perhaps he viii do the rizfz
thing. But if this is so. he is evidently
the tool of the most atrocious ring of
stock jobbers that has ever existed.
First our brave President. by pretend
ing to take water. has given the boys an
opportunity TO make fortunes on Wall

he will give them another fortune by the

MR.. HUNT ON WILLIAM MORRIS
He Tells the Gamblers About The
Port.

The Ramblers met yesterday in Has
brcuck institute and listened to a de-
ligGatful and obstructive lecture by Mr..
Chester Jay Hunt Of this city, on WITH
lam Norris. Before. the lecture MISS
Myers talked for a few minutes OF AUS
tin Dobson and read some OF his society
verses. She showed an engraving OF him
to the Ranab!ers and said he does not
devote himself to literature, but writes
when he is not attending to the duties
of the government position he holds.
Mr.. Hunt gave a sketch OF Morris life
as we'll as his works. He described his
early home and life and his preparation
for Exeter College, Oxford. His intimacy
with Burne Jones and Dante Gabriel
Eossetti, AIR. Hunt considered a very i'm
portant influence in his life. Mr.. Nor
ris' ability as a. painter, as well as a
poet, was spoken of and Mr.. Hunt said
the influence of the firm making ain
glass, drapeTies, wall papers and linole-
um. of which Jones, Rossetti & Morris
were members is felt TO this day. To
therl is due, he said, the present absence
in homes of wax flowers, Chinese puzzle
carpets and such denominations. Mr..
Hunt drew several comparisons between
the poems of Tennyson and Morris, par
tacularly of those on the same subjects.
In some cases he prefers Teniyson and
in some Morris. Morris, he says, seldom
gives an instantaneous picture in a few
words as does Tennyson, though at times
he is thus inspired. Mr.. Hunt gave nu-
naerous quotations from Morris poems
Illustrating his lecture. and Miss Myers
read THE Wind" 1.-THE Shameful Death"
and written on the Image" Tbs club
gave Mr.. Hunt a vote of thanks for the

Reor FELLOW.

The career of Anten Seidl is a striking
answer to the narrow-minded bigots who
entertain -know-nothing ~pre3udices against
foreign-born citizens. And it is not so
merely because Mr.. Seidl was a man of
unusual profession and uncommon gifts.
These merely serve to make more con-
spicuous the truth that the immigrant
who gives to his new country the best
return to the country for the privileges
which the country accords him.
One man brings only the labor of his
hands and to him the country gives only
safety and a livelihood. Another brings
a certain development of mind, as well
as laboring capacity. and to him the
country gives ease and perhaps a compe-
tence. Still another brings superIatiye
gifts of mind and training, and we COM
pensate him with fame and wealth and
social distinction
So, the differences are only of degree,
and they are compensatory. Every new
citizen brings some contribution to the
industry, the wealth. the energy and the
tbSught of the country, and the return
which we give him is proportioned to the
amount and quality of the gifts which he
brings to US. If anything, we pay the
more exalted class of newcomers higher
rewards in proportion than the humble
ones, because being a new country we are
in greater need of artistic culture than of
Drawn and muscle.

and hundreds of actors found long en-
gagements in its Interpretation. THE
Two Orphans" has long proved popular,
and its success is based pom real merit.
1t stirs ones sympathies to their very
depths and the climaxes are extremely ef-
fective. Some of the cruel incidents are
painfully realistic in their representation,
but while the piece is full of sadness
from beginning to end it teaches some no..
BILE lessons. Miss Ciaxtoa has long since
become famous for her i-napersoalation of
the deserted, helpless and abused blind
girl. and her sweetness and fortitude dur
ing all her sufferiRgs fail not to start the
tears of the audience at every perform
ance.

A MASCOT IN REALTY.
Prices OF land Boom wherever Ex-
President Cleveland Resides.

Grover Cleveland is a mascot for real
estate boomers. He has made money in
large sums for landholders in three wide
ly separated parts Of the country, says
the ST. Louis Globe-Dennocrat. When he
was married, ten years ago, during his
arst term, M. Cleveland bought for $21,500
a place of Iwenty-eight acres in the sub
arbs of Washington. Until that purchase
the s~ightliness of the locality had not
been recognized. The and was in small
farms and there were few Washington
people who had howss along the unfash-
ionable pike. The President made some
alterations in the comfortable old stone
house and lived there in the summer time
When he went out OF office, after two or
three seasons OF Red Top"
as the place was called, from the brightly
painted roof. he sold his twenty-eight
acres for s1s5. 600. But previously thous-
of acres surrounding had changed
hands. Cleveland Heights had been laid
ont, an electric road had been built, and
an of the accessories of real estate specu-
lation on a grand scale had been applied.
Mr.. Cleveland's next venture was in a
tfesoiate tract of land on BuzEard's Bay.
He went there on the recommendation
Of Joseph Jefferson. found good fishing
and bought literally of the rocky and
sandy acres. The history OF Red Top
repeated itself, save that Mr.. Cleveland
did not sell when the boom came. Buzz
yards Bay has come into prominence as
one of the choicest localities on the Al
lantic coast for summer homes The
land has gone up and up until the adj

AFRICAN PYGMIEs N EUROPE.
Made afe sSonnd of Learned Societies
md Excsfrd Grsat Interesl.

Four years ago DIR. Stuhimann, one OF
the most scientific of African explorers,
brought to Germany two dwarf young
women, about II and 20 years old. They
had been captured by Arab slave raiders
in. the great forests northwest of Vic
torfa Nyanza. A mar about % years old
and four feet six inches in height, who
was captured with them, was in DIR.
Stuh1snann's care for several months, but
died on the coast just before he was
to go to Europe. He was so very shy
that he was never seen to look a white
man in the face, and, though ne would
talk a little Ki-Suaheli, the language OF
the Zanzibar natives, he was never heard
to speak a word of his own
language. The girls were taken
back to Africa in a few months,
as it was feared they would not
survive a German winter. In all the time
they were with DIR. Stuhlmann he was
able to get from them only sixteen words
of their language. Perhaps this is not
surprising. 1t is enough to make persons
OF a low type of culture shy and suspic-
ious to be shut up for hours at a time
with inquisitive servants, who were con-
t~inually looking. at and questioning and
measuring them, turning them this way
and that, and photographing them, and,
though the little women were we'll cared
for and much was done to amuse Them,
they could not get over the idea that the
whites had some sinister purpose. They
feared they would be poisoned, and never
touched any dish before their Italian SER
want had first tasted it. They were car
RED around from one scientific society TO
another. all over Germany and Belgium.
and, it is safe TO say, that in their pri-
vate opinion a~nthropology was a great
bore, ard they were very glad to get back
to Africa.-Harper's Round Table.

Mrs. John A. Walker opened the discus

DEPUTY KILLS A HORSE.
Reported Escape OF Two Prsso ners
Create q NiIr at thr Stase Priso7.

Especial to @"The Jersey City News.-
TRENTON, March 81, lSSS.-There was
considerable eommotion about the State
Prison between nine and ten O'Clock last
night over a report that two felens had
scaled the walls and fed. In an attempt
to halt a carriage in which the two con-
victs We're thought to be, making for
their liberty, Deputy Keeper George
Smith shot and killed a valuable horse be-
longing to Idveryinan Frank P. English.
The trouble started by one of the bad
boys of the prison Reighberhood calling
to a towernaan that a prisoner had just
scaled the wall. The official at once sent
in the alarm. ard Principal Keeper
Moore started numerous officers TO search
the neighborheod, and also t~eiephoned to
the police stations. and several patrolmen
were sent out on the case.
Two OF the prison officers, just after
leaving tine Institution, caught sight of
a horse and two-seated carriage turning
the corner of Federal and Third streets.
Thinking the alleged fleeing ~convicts
were in the carriage, a halt was ordered
The occupants of the carriage evidently
got frightened when the officers called to
them TO stop, and, whipping up the horse,
they began to drive at a brcakneck pace
towards Second street. The officers fol-
lowed on a run, and as the carriage turn
ed into Second street Deputy SIafth fired
GA the party. The bullet hit the horse,
bringing it to earth, while the men in the
carriage, three in number, jumped out
and ran up Second street. The officers
fired several more shots, but none We're
effective, and the men made good their
escape.
In the meanwhile. Keeper Moore had a
thorough search made, and oun that
no prisoner had escaped. The count at
the prison at six o'clock, when the men
were locked in their cells for the night,
was 1.215, and when the census was taken
after the reported escape thai number
was found to be safely within the walls
Liverynan English went to the prison
and identified his property. In the Wagon
was found two battered hats and a cap,
and the superstition is that the raen who
were using the rig at the time of the
trouble had stolen 1t.
