sLEIGHRIDE AND DANCE.
Young Society People Enjoy the Winter
Weather.

One of the most enjoyable social
entertainments of the winter was the
sleighride and dancing party given by
the young gentlemen of the city Fri
day night. The ride was in honor of
Miss Strong, of Terre Haute, Ind.
Twelve couples of young people
crowded into a large bobsled and
spent several hours riding about the
city, after which they drove to- Kup-
fer's, where a delightful supper was
served. After supper the entire party
retired to the University school and
spent the remainder of the evening in
dancing. Those present were Misses
Strong, Swift, Palmatier, Brown, Steb-
bins, Rogers, HazletOn, Belle SteLbins,
Farr, and Messrs. Chalfant, Wheeler,
Birmingham, Gould, Fisher, Allen,

THE MUD LARKs WIN.

Defeat the Main Stays of the Emer-
aid Isle.
Until the audience filed into Sim
mons Hall Friday night it was a hard
matter to guess who the Irish Set
tlersv we're, but when they were lined
up for game of indoor ball against
the Mud Larks, il was found that they
were as follows:
Catcher King of Cork Cleary.
Pitcher-Paddy Ryan DeDiemar.

I'd base--Hogan's Friend j. Harkin.
Sd base-Ould Sod Mcclellan.
Left short-Shaun Rhue Harkin.
Right short, John L. Sullivan Sullivan
Center field Kerry Cow Engel.
The above gentlemen had gathered
together for the express purpose OF
erasing the final name of the Mud
Larks, but when the game was over it
was found that they only had six runs
to their credit, while the Larks had
found no difficulty in getting an even
dozen.
The evening was very pleasantly
spent in conversation, all joining in on
the one topic of whether the umpire
was right or wrong, and as all finally
agreed that he was, they let it go at
that.
Part of the audience were so pleased
with the game that they wanted their
money back so they could come to the
next game that was played. There is
no doubt about the popularity OF the
Irish Settlers and the Mud Larks. The
line up of the Mud Larks is very well
known, but we give them below 10 or
der to allow the people to file away a
record Of their victory.
Catcher-Will be Policeman Kraft.

There are few persons interested IN
things literary who, being in Paris
within the last ten or fifteen years,
can have failed to hear of the garnet

himself would, perhaps, have preferred
people to say the garnet OF tine
brothers Goncourt," although, as Is
well known, the institution was orlgl-
mated and fourished only after the
death of the younger brother. The
"garret," specifically, was a charming
room, half hall, half library, on the
third floor of the little Louis XVI. hotel
at Auteuil, which M. Edmond de Con
court occupied during the whole latter
part of his life; generically, it was the
meeting together of kindred spirits, Oh
disciples and admirers and friends or
the old maitre: the germ Of the acade-
my which it was Edmond de Con

London. May 17.-A dispatch to the Times from Manila, dated May 1S, says:
 "As a means of keeping the natives loyal and inducing them to refrain from assist ing the Americans, Governor General Au- gusti has instituted consulting assembly, composed of fifteen members of mixed and native blood. It's president is Senor Pater- no, who achieved the late peace and ac- companied the rebels to Hong Kong in De- cember.
 Preparations are being made to send food supplies to outlying districts in case of bombardment The archbishop of Ma nila appoints June 1T as a day of rejoicing at the renewed conservation of the Philip pine islands to the sacred heart of Jesus"
 The Hong Kong correspondent of the Times, telegraphing Tuesday, says: "Agu- inaldo and the other insurgent leaders in the recent rising, left today in the United States dispatch boat McCulloch, for Cavfte. They will attempt to persuade the natives to attack Manila in few days. They have promised Admiral Dewey to regulate their conduct in accordance with the principles of humanity.
 "The Americans are evidently anxious to complete their conquest before the arrival of the troops from San Francisco. British residents now take a more hopeful view, and famine is no longer feared.'
 The Hong Kong correspondent of the Standard says:
 'It is expected, owing to the strict block ade and the famine resulting from it, that the city of Manila will soon be compelled to capituate to the American blockading squadron under Admiral Dewey

MIR. GLADSTONE
 RAPIDLY SINKING His End Now Only a Few Hours DiStant---Pathetic Scene
 at Bedside.

London, May 1S.-According to a special dispatch from Hawarden received this morning, MT. Gladstone is sinking rapidly. The correspondent says:
 'He lies on a small iron bed peaceful 1y sleeping away into the land of shades. His death chamber faces south overlook ing the south terrace. The family and oth- CTS are all sitting around him or moving noislessly in and out. It is pathetic scene that is being enacted this gloomy night.
 Mr. Dobie doubts that his patient was conscious at any time on Tuesday, though he said "Yes and mo-" nor does the physi- elan believe that MT. Gladstone recognized any one. Nevertheless, he suffered no pain whatever. but just lay with his head facing the light, his eyes closed, his hands sometimes outside the counterpane and sometimes hidden beneath.
 His grand face bears a most peaceful and beautiful look. A few days ago the deeply bitten wrinkles that so long marked it were almost gone; but now, strangely enough, they seem as strong and deep as ever. He looks too, in wonderfully good color.'
 A bulletin at o'clock this Cruesday) morning afforded the first information of the serious condition of the patient. For some hours no additional information be- came public. but there were indications that crisis had been reached.
 The village postofice, from which the telegraph wire was suddenly manned by a stan to work the special instruments which had been silenced since they were fitted up last Saturday in readiness for the emergency. During the day. wher- ever one went one would hear general expressions of deep regret among the working people at Hawarden, Sandy Croft, another little village situated below at the foot of the gentle slope, and in Ches- ter. Cottagers, porters, signal men, labor CTS, shop keepers and lodge keepers met during the day. all asking, 'How is the old gentleman?" in sympathetic tones which no one could mistake.
 "The moment you enter the castle you seem actually to feel the presence of death fin the house wheree suchc solmn quiet prevails. Beside the members of the family MT. Gladstone is constantly being attend- ed by Dr. Bliss and two nurses who have been with him since his return to Flaw arden"
 a. m.-Dr Herbert Habershon arrived at 2 o'clock this morning. The rain con- tineued to fall at intervals through the night. The villagers have been coming singly and in groups of two or three, en- tering the castle gates to glance silently at the rain beaten scrap of paper which Is the latest bulletin and then as silently res turning to the gate, not a hundred yards away and disappearing into the darkness only to return later. At this hour many are collected to gaze in unbroken silence at the castle lights. Dr. Habershon has just retired, firm which it is inferred that no immediate collapse Is expected. The physicians think MT. Gladstone will never speak again. At this hour he is in deep sleep.

 GREATEST, Because 1t eradicates every vestige of scrofula, cures the worst cases of hip disease, subdues the itch ing and burning of eczema, heals all sores, boils and eruptions, and every ailment due to impure blood.
 GREATEST, Because it conquers dys- pepsia by toning and strengthening the stomach, cures rheumatism by neutralizlng the acid in the blood, overcomes catarrh by removing the scrofula taints that cause 1t.
 GREATEST, Because of the greatest cures, greatest merit, greatest sales, greatest hold upon the confidence of the people as an honest medicine which cures when all others fail.

THE STAMP TAX MOST ONEROus

Washington, May 17.-Considerable pro- gress was made by the senate today Tn considering the war revenue measure.
 MT. Jones, of Arkansas, presented in a general statement the views of the demo- crats of the finance committee. He main- tained that the taxes imposd by the pend- ing bill ought to be levied upon property and not upon consumption; that the policy of the republican party always had been to Impose taxes upon consumption while that of the democratic party was to impose 1t upon property.
 He believed that taxation that would raise $150,000,0O0 should be amply sufficient to be carried by this bill and that if the exigencies of the war should demonstrate that more money was needed congress

could provide 1t later. He called attention to the statement of Secretary of the Treasury Gage that the additional expen- ses of war over and above the current ex- penses of the government would be about $25.000,000 a, month, total perhaps of 0O,000,000 a year. Secretary Alger had informed the finance committee that the extraordinary war expenses of his depart ment would be about $15O,0000O0. He thought this amount sufficiently liberal Secretary Long had presented to the com
 mittee carefully prepared statement showing that the war expenses of his de- partment would be about $75,000000. All lowing S15.000,000 for extra expenses, the full amount needed by the estimates of cabinet officers was according to his fig ures in the neighborhood of $240,0 1000, ,O00 This amount was. of course. in addition to the ordinary expenses of the govern ment

pertinent would not be far from. s1an. .0Oo. GOO from the present time til July l. 1899
 Mir. Allison called attention to tile fact that he had made that point clear in his statement yesterday.
 Tax on Consumption
 MT. Jones declared that every feature Of the bill was tax on consumption. The stamp tax was one of the most onerous and vexatious forms Of taxation ever devised. The tax upon tobacco and beer was a tax on consumption. In response to an inquiry from Mir. Aldrich, MT. Jones said he did not believe any man could determine defi- nitely how and upon whom the beer tax would fall. "We, on this side,' said he. "believe however, that the taxes levied ought to rest upon property, while the bill pending increases the taxes on consump tion.
 Without reaching any agreement as to what portion of the bill should be consider ed first the senate proceeded with the reading of the bill with the understanding that at any time senators should have the privilige of returning to passed items for their amendment or alteration.
 At the request of MT. Martin, of Virginia, the tobacco schedules were passed over the present without action on the committee amendments.
 Mir. Chiffon offered an amendment to sec tion providing for the punishment of of lenders against the act. The words with intent to eyade the provisions of this act" were inserted by the amendment. It was agreed to.
 Ordinary Appropriations
 At this point MT. Allison presented tables showing the amounts of the ordinary ap- propriations for the next fiscal year. They aggregate Qess s51 100000 for the sinking fund) s4S0. .S49 ,S52
 The total estimated revenues Cncluding postal revenues) MT. Allison's tables show ed were s4S2, ,S47 ,647, an excess of $2.024 7e5 over the estimated ordinary appropriations. The appropriations for the war MT. Allison gave as follows:
