PASTOR SCORES DANCING.
New York Divine Says II IL . vile In
stitutisn ana That Theaters
Are Rotten.

Rev. DR.. A. c. Dixon, pastor of the
Hanson Place Baptist church, New
York, in an interview denounced card
playing, dancing, theater-going and
races. He deplored the action of the
New York east conference in seeking
to take the ban of these amusements.
"The theaters," continued DR.. Dixon,
'are one of the rottenest institutions we
have. There is not one decent theater
on the globe--not one in which the ami
NAL instincts are not appealed to and
where there are not spectacular exhibi-
tions of lewdness. Booth tried to start
a decent theater in New York, and his
theater Is now a warehouse. There is
not theater to-day but that decent
woman should blush with shame in
entering, knowing that she is thereby
identifying herself with such a rotten
institution. Acting is ignoble. The
better the actor the worse he is. The
better Booth acted Hamlet the worse
IL was for Booth. The moral Of the
thing is at issue.
Dancing Is vile institution. Think
Of the sensuous attitudes in round
dancing. If that same sensuous atti-
tude was continued three minutes
after the music stopped there would be
many knock-downs. How is it that
such attitudes are permissible while
the music is going on and the moment
the music stops the same sensuous at
titudes become inadmissible?"
DR.. Dixon said that card-playing was
closely associated with gambling.

MRS. HOWARD GOULD WINS.
New York Court Decides I'm Her Fn-
vOr in Regard to That Velvet
Waist.

Justice Stiner in the Eighth district
municipal court of New York decided
the other day that Mrs. Howard Gould
would not have to pay anything to
Mile. Mirabella, the Fifth avenue
dressmaker, who sued her for $s5, the
price of velvet waist which Mrs. Gould
had declined to accept on the ground
that it did not fit her. Judgment is
given in favor of the defendant. with
costs.
In another action brought by Mary
F. Smith and Margaretta Dillon in the
city court to recover a dressmaking
bill of ITS from Howard Gould, the
defendant served an answer through
Howe & Hummel. The bill was So, ,1S5.
but $1,110 was paid on account. The
work sued for was done for Mrs. Gould
between last November 20 and March
"a. The defense is that the work has
been fully paid for. The answer states
that dresses which were to be supplied
in few days did not arrive for months,
and that they were usually misfits.
The plaintiffs itemized account is
taken up by Mr.. Gould in the order
of the items. Some of the work and
materials are objected to as not hav-
ing been delivered. AS to other items
Mr.. Gould asserts that the charge is
too high.
The plaintiffs say that they had so
much work fitting and refitting Mrs.
Gould that the bill is very moderate.

PREHISTORIC MAN.
The Evidences of His Existence in
Various Western Sta aes to he
Preserved.

The house committee on public lands
has made favorable report upon bill
for the regulation of monuments, ruins,
and other objects on public lands. The
measure directs the secretary of the in
terror to set aside and reserve from pub
lie sale, entry and settlement any pub
lie lands in Colorado, Wyoming, Ari-
zona and New Mexico upon which are
monuments, cliff dwellings, cemeteries,
graves, mounds, forts, or any other
work of prehistoric and aboriginal
man.
The report says there are indications
that highly civilized race occupied
this part of the country hundreds of
years before America was discovered
and built dwellings, and the pottery
and utensils-used indicate these people
were race much superior to the In
dians.
These ruins are of the greatest inter
est to students of archaeological sci
ence. The ruins are located consider
able distance from the railroads, and up
to this time have not been DESTROYED,
and are visited each year by a great
many people. Consequently their de-
struction is taking place.
The various archaeological societies
are much interested in the preserva-
ton of these ruins. and the only prac-
ticable way they can be preserved is
by creating a reservation of land sur
rounding each ruin and providing a
penalty for any destruction.

SHIP STRIPPED OF WOOD
Furniture and Masts Fed Into Fur.
naces of Spanish Boat to Keep
Up steam.

The Spanish steamer Ell Salto, Capt.
Loudo, from Rio for Queenstown via
Philadelphia, limped into port at Nor
folk, Va, a mere iron hull. everything
combustible on board having been fed
to the furnace to help her reach coal
ing port.
The Salto sailed from Rio March 21
with a big cargo of manganese ore,
ship and cargo being valued at 100000.
Her coal supply was barely enough to
take her to Philadelphia, where she
was to refill her bunkers, but bad
storm off Hatteras used up this scanty
supply, and to keep her head on to the
storm the captain began to feed her
woodwork into the furnaces.
She battled through the gale and
headed for Norfolk, but masts, spars,
rails, decks and furniture all had to
be sacrificed to bring her into the
roads.
The vessel could not even make the
coal piers with her last remaining
steam, for there was literally nothing
left in her to burn, and she anchored
down the harbor, where a lighter of
coal was sent to fill her bunkers. Her
crew of 2s men were reported well,
though badly worn out by their expert
ence,

PLANS FOR SURVEYS.
Government to Make Extensive and
Accurate Surveys of the Phil
ippine Waters.

PLANS have been completed by the
navy department for extensive surveys
of the Philippine waters. The depart
ment is now fitting out six small ves-
sells with complete surveying outfit
in addition to their ordinary equip
ment as ships-of-war. 1t is expected
they will be able, in addition to their
regular police duties, to make rapid
progress in the survey of the coast of
the numerous islands of the Philippine
group. This work did not commence as
soon as was planned, owing to the con-
tinuation of the insurrection. The
navy department will make an effort to
have the funds which were appropri-
ated for the present fiscal year contin-
ued, SO the work may be constant and
prosecuted. without fear of Interrupt
tion for want of funds.

WHY CONTRACT WAS LOST.
American Firm Fails to Secure Order
for Steel Rails in New south
Wales.

United States Consul Goding, at New
castle, n. S. W., in recent report to
the state department, explains why
American bidders failed to obtain a
large contract, recently awarded, for
10000 tons of steel rails in the colony.
Two offers were obtained from the
United States and several from Great
Britain. After allowing for shipping
charges, the lowest bidders were an
Illinois company at S736,s73, the next
above being the Barrow company. of
England, at $743.245. The Illinois
company, however, made certain stip-
ulations about exchange involving ex-
ira expense and condition that the
government of New South Wales
should have a bankers credit, which
would mean paying a commission to
some American firm. These conditions
brought the tender of the Illinois COM
pany somewhat above that of the low
est English bidder, and the contract
accordingly was awarded to the Bar
row company.

NEW LONDON PAPER APPEARS.
10 Half-Penny Daily and VIII BE
Radical Departure from old
English Forms.

Pearson's Express, the new half
penny daily, has made it's first appear
ance, with eight pages of seven col
umns each. 1t is neatly printed, and
Its most striking feature is the display
of news alone on the first page. The
leading editorial announces it for sale
with the object of supplying news, and
that it is not the organ OF any political
party or of any social clique.
Emperor William, in a congratu-
latory message to the Express, says:
Tell the British people that my first
hope now, as always, is for the preser-
vation of international peace; my Sec
ond, the consolidation and maintenance
of good relations between Germany
and Great Britain.
Between these two nations no es-
sential cause for difference exists, nor
should one arise between them. There
should be no rivalry other than the
friendly competition in furthering the
economic and social progress of their
peoples"

THEY SHOULD WORK.
Convicts Should Be Engaged In
Productive Labor.
state Laws Ought to Re Uniform-
Recon- m ndations of Industrial
COmmission in ITS Report
to Congress.

The Industrial commission has sent
to congress its report on prison labor.
In summing up it's conclusions the COM
mission says that all prisoners should
be engaged in productive labor, and
that the state should have absolute
control of their care. Their employ
ment, with the intention of producing
revenues. the report says, tends to the.
greatest competition with free labor
and detracts from the punitive reform
atory and disciplinary features of the
prisons. Employment of prisoners on
public works has the least tendency to
competition with free labor. In order
to harmonic the antagonistic inter
ests of the different states, the indus
trial operation Of penal and like in.
stitutions in each should be under the
supervision of a central office. Adop-
tion of laws embracing the principles
mentioned has been retarded by vari-
GUS conditions in many of the states.
The adoption Of uniform legislation.
the report says, is the only remedy for
existing abuses. The commission sub
mits general provisions of law mainly
from the New York statute, and rec
ommendsthat such part shall be embod-
led in the laws of the different states
as is found possible. The Introduction
of interstate commerce in all goods.
ETC., the product of convict labor, sup
plemented by state legislation, would
be the nearest to a complete remedy for
evils of convict labor competition, but
In the absence of such laws the most
practical step would be an act making
such goods upon their arrival in any
state subject to it's laws. Commission
ers Smythe and Harris dissent from
that portion of the report recommend
ing an Introduction of prison-made
goods. and Mr.. Smythe also dissents
from recommendation fixing eight
hours for days work for prisoners.

DECLARES 1T MYTH
Gen. Douglas Says Story Of Bar-I
bara Frietchie Is All Fiction.
Beautiful Poem Of whittaker Has No
Foundation In Fact--Was With
Jackson when He Battered
Town Of Frederick.

Gen. Henry Kyd Douglas, who was an
officer on the staff of Stonewall Jack
son, lectured in Cooper Union, New
York, the other night on that great SOL
der. Gen. Douglas described the en-
try into Frederick. Barbara Frietchie
lived, but Gen. jackson never saw her.
If she owned United States flag, Gen.
Douglas was never able to find 1t out.
Certain he is she never waved 1t from
her easement in challenge to the con-
federates.
"Gen. jackson never even passed Bar
bara Frietchie's house." said Gen. Doug
las. "lt seems hard to believe that all
that beautiful poem is fiction, but the
fact remains. Not even her relatives
will sanction the story.
"Gen. jackson, Just before an entry
into Frederick; had been serious
ly injured by fall from a horse that
had been presented to him by some of
his admirers. We were obliged to place
Gen. Jackson in an ambulance and stop
at Best's Grove, about three miles from
Frederick.
"Gen. Jackson, on the following Sun
day evening, insisted on being taken
into Frederick in the ambulance
to attend church. He did not return
to town again until the morning of the
supposed NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. 10, 1862.
Then we again took him into town in
the ambulance. We stopped at the cor
ner of Patrick and Main streets and
there asked some of the citizens mis-
leading questions about the surround
ing country. Then he directed that /
drive with him to the residence of Rev.
DR.. Ross, the Presbyterian clergyman
whose church we had attended on the
preceding Sunday evening. 1t was still
SO early DR.. Ross was not up, so we left
card.
"We drove the ambulance past the
present courthouse, past the home of
William Bantz, then down Mill alley to
Middletown pike, when we reached
Jackson's column and rode up to the
front. We did not pass Barbara
Frietchie's house.
"Barbara> Frietchie, have learned,
after long and painstaking investiga-
ton, was 08 years old at that time. She
was helpless and almost blind. No SOL
dier of our army and resident of Fred.
erick saw flag at her window. Her
relatives, with whom have talked, ad.
NIT that there is no foundation for the
story on which Whittier has written
such beautiful poem.
"Mrs. E. D. E. N. Southworth, the
novelist, and consequently unhampered
by facts, is said to have given Whittier
the story. was with jackson all the
time he was in the vicinity of Freder.
lex, and I can say that the beautiful
poem is all myth"
