Irving Didn't Read.

Sir Henry Irving appeared at the
Theater Royal, Edinburgh, in 1857,
and two years later he went to Linlith-
gov to give reading there. He was
delighted to see his name in big letters
on the posters on arriving in the town.
He went to the hall, but there was no
crowd there in fact, the caretaker had
not arrived, having forgotten all about
the reading. Irving went in search Of
him. and thlls5 were got ready; $50

WHOLESALE POISONING.
Colored Lad Appears to Have Had Mania For
Using Rough on Rats.

James Weaver, colored boy of Gin
cinnati, aged II years, has confessed to
having poisoned his father. Woodson
Weaver. and his half-brother, John
Weaver, on Tuesday John Weaver
died in few hours, and Woodson Weav-
err though still alive has but slight
chance of recovery. The lad said he
found box of rough on rats on the
stove Monday night, and did not know
what it was. He put ii in the coffee
pot. The police now believe that the
boy is responsible for the death of Wood
son Weavers' second wife, and for the
burning of the house a few months ago.
Later young Weaver made a detailed
confession Of his crime, admitting the
poisoning, not only Of his father and
stepbrother, but also Of his stepmother,
who died suddenly last April Weaver
said he bought rough on rats at drug
store and put it in the coffee pot used by
his father and stepbrother. He has been
identified by the drug clerk who sold him
the poison. Weaver is now suspected Of
poisoning Rev John II. Jackson, a col
ored Methodist preacher, who died last
Sunday. 1t is said Jackson visited
Viewers house and the boy brought
him a glass of water. The boy denies
this. He also says he only meant to
make his victims sick. His mother, who
was arrested has been released.

Settlement In Siuhi.

1t is announced that a meeting between
Alfred Miner the governor of Cape
Colony and high commissioner of South
Africa, and President Kruger, has been
arranged to take place on May 80 at
Bloemfontein, capital of the Orange Free
State. He says: "Sr Alfred Miner ac-
cepted the invitation with the earnest
hope of arriving at satisfactory settle
ment of the situation which the British
government could accept and recon-
mend to the uitlanders as a reasonable
concession of their just demands. Presi-
dent Kruger has also accepted, saying
that he will gladly discuss every pro-
posal conducting to good understanding
between the Transvaal and Great Bri-
tain, provided the independence of the
Transvaal is not impugned."

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.
General Tendency Toward Steadiness In Prices
Building Activity Widespread.

The features of the trade situation last
week were the renewed strength ofwheat
and other cereals, iron and steel and raw
wool, which has heretofore Jagged be-
hind other staples in dlscouraging
way. The price making features in
cereals are not entirely of an encourage
ing character, being chiefly the less fav-
orahle reports of the growing crop west
and northwest and advices of insect
damages influencing western markets
toward higher plane in face of a dis
ccuragingly small export business. The
added strength in iron is based largely
upon heavy buying of pigiron in the CEN
trail west, sympathetically influencing
prices at all markets.
Foreign wool markets continue above
American. Heavy sales of Australian
woods for export are reported and avail
able supplies of this class Of wool are
nearly exhausted at Boston. Manufac-
turers appear slow to buy and, except in
dress goods, the demand for wooden
fabrics is only fair.
Aside from the exceptions noted, the

The Paris Ashore.

Falmouth, May 23.-The American line
steamer Paris, Captain Watkins, is hard
ard fast aground just off Lowlands
Point, two miles east Of Coverack. The
vessel went aground in dense fog. The
passengers were landed safely at Fal-
mouth. 1t is not yet known to what ex-
tent the vessel Is damaged.
When the vessel struck assistance was
summoned by means Of rockets AS
soon as the signals of distress were seen
at Coveracls the rocket apparatus was
made ready and crew of four men put
out in a lifeboat and proceeded to the
stranded ship. The men report that
when they reached the Paris they found
not the silt test sign of excitement
abolrd the sip.
From the first there was no danger.
Lifeboats and tugs were soon literally
swarming around the vessel to render
assistance. A majority Of the passen-
gers, who numbered $50, were brought to
Falmouth, where they obtained lodgings
for the night.
The first intimation Of the vessels
striking the rocks was slight grating
and more pronounced Shock The look
out shouted that there was something
looming ahead, but before there was
time to reverse the engines the ship had
gone on the rocks, 200 yards from the
shore. Assistance was summoned by
means of rockets, and the coast guards
promptly telephoned to the life saving
station for boats.
A majority Of the passengers were not
aware that an accident had happened
until they were called up by the stewards.
On reaching the deck they found the
ships boats in perfect readiness for their
reception. The sea was perfectly calm,
and the only discomfort that the passen-
gers experienced was caused by the
slight rain that was falling at the time.
Owing to the calmness of the sea the
boats could be managed with entire
safety. Perfect order prevailed aboard
the vessel. Captain Watkins stood on
the bridge giving orders, and his perfect
self-possession and calmness of de-
meanor had reassuring effect upon the
passengers. In accordance with the in
struction Of the captain the women and
children were the first to be taken off the
ship. Such perfect order was main
tanned that a passenger described the
scene as simply slow procession of
women and children walking in single
file to the boats.
At daybreak the position of the vessel
could be better discerned. The brilliant
Saint Anthony light at the entrance of
Falmouth harbor could be distinguished
plainly through the misty rain, and the
still standing masts Of the Inflated
Mohegan could be seen nearby.
1t is said that Falmouth pilot boat
showed warning signal to the Paris,
telling the captain that he would put the
vessel on top of the Mohegan If he did
not alter the course of the ship. The
warning, however came too late and the
Paris struck on ridge to the westward
of the Manacles.
1t is suggested that as this was only
their second trip from Cherbourg the Of
ficers of the Paris were not familiar with
the course.
The crew of the Paris are still aboard
the vessel.
1t is believed that the steamer has a.
large rent in her bottom in the forward
part of the ship. Tugs are standing by
her and will assist in an effort to get her

Santiago, May 23.-The startling dis
covery was made yesterday that the
famous shrine of Nuestra Sonora Carl
dad. at FL Cobre, had been robbed of
jewels valued at $4,000, and that the
head OF the statue had been broken off
and removed. The report caused great
excitement in the town, where the shrine
has long been the principal attraction.
1t is supposed to have miraculous heal
ing powers and is visited annually by
thousands of pilgrims from all parts Of
Cuba, from Mexico and even from
Europe, who have loaded the image with
rich gifts 1t is asserted that an Amerl-
can will be arrested on charge Of being
the criminal, and the police hope to re-
cover the jewels.

TO GIVE wEsTEaNERs A CHANCE


Secretary Long Is interested in the
result of an experiment which Is to be
made under the direction of Captain
Hawley, for the enlistment Of 300 or $50
men in the west. 1t Is believed western
enlistments will quicken that sections
interest in the navy Many inquiries
have been received by the department
from the west by young men OF ad-
venturous spirit, who would like to join
the navy, but who cannot afford the
expense OF travelling TO New York or
Boston with the chance of rejection after
their arrival. 1t is proposed, there
fore, to send recruiting officer through
the west next month to gather 300 or
$50 recruits. Only bright and promis-
ing American citizens, between the ages
of IS and 25 will be taken. They must
be able to read and write.
Exceptional inducements are to be
offered these recruits in the shape of
long cruise on Admiral Farragut's old
flagship Hartford which is now at the
Mare island navy yard, Cal She has
been thoroughly refitted at cost of
$350,OOO The recruits will be sent to
the receiving ship independence at San
Francisco for several months of pre-
liminary shaking down." and then will
embark upon the Hartford for New
York, either by way of Cape Horn or
across the Pacific to China, thence
around india and through the Red Sea
and Mediterranean.
Her executive officer will be Lieuten-
ant Commander Sharp, a nephew of
General Grant, who distinguished him
self during the recent war as the COM
mander of the auxiliary yacht Vixen,
which was attached to Admiral Schley's
flying squadron. In addition to the
recruits she will carry $50 experienced
men. Upor arrival in New York, the
recruits will be assigned to warships.
If the experiment is a success, as Cap
tain Hawley confidently expects it to be,
ii will be repeated with view to the
enlistment of more westerners.

The news Of the disaster to the Paris
spread rapidly in London and great ex-

The passengers are lavish in their
praise of the admirable behavior Of the

due to their smartness that no accident
