and his gang, you will probably be
shot. If they should by any chance,
win, what can you expect-after this?
You will be shot by either side. Now,
IL you stand by me, and sail this
schooner to Buenos Ayres, l promise
you not only safety, but money besides.
My uncle is rich. When | tell him
what has been done, the government
must know it also. You will come in
for reward. The smuggling counts
for nothing. You are going to save
the government. You will be rewarded
for that, and all else will be forgotten.
What do you say"
Some of the crew understood all CT
this, some a little, and a few none at
all. But they talked rapidly among
themselves. Those who had stood by
Rob had the hest of the argument.
Those who had been with Starne saw
their leader lying on the deck-prob-
ably dying What could he do for
them? They gave in, and joined Robs
half.
1--WE CO." said the light-colored fell
low who had been shot in the arm.
1--WE go with you Torrevo dead, you
our young captain. You tell your
uncle we all good men. No one get in
prison"
mot one of you," said Rob- "Hur-
rah! Now see to these fellows who are
wounded. Then let's get to Buenos
Ayres."
In a short time the BLACK Cat" was
swung around, and went speeding up
the river. Rob was, of course, not
able 10 give any orders to navigate the
vessel, but he felt that the crew could
be trusted. He had frightened them
when he spoke as il the letter to Mr..
Horton had not been the only letter he
wrote giving the plot away TO the gov
eminent.
AS they passed the entrance to Black
Cat Bay, Rob smiled. 1t was not so
long ago that he had been in that bay,
iugging bales of cotton, casks, kegs OF
powder, and feeling the sting of blows;
and now he was sailing past it, the
master of the BLACK Cat" and her
swarthy crew.
The "Black Cat" sailed into the har-
Dor OF Buenos Ayres, and an inspector
came on board.
"well!" he said, its a long time
since the Black Cat sailed into this
harbor. What's the cargo?"
None" said Rob. II am here on
service for the government. must
get at once to Mr. David Horton. DO

Horton, the millionaire? l should
say l did. What do you want with
him?"
II will tell him that" said Rob.
There is nothing to be taken ashore
from this vessel but me. If you think
l am contraband, come with me. But
l warn you not to delay me-"
The inspector was impressed, and his
curiosity was aroused.
Come along" he said.
They were soon ashore, and Rob
was amazed at the fine streets and
buildings he saw. They got on an cleo
trio car-somethinG that Rob had sup
posed was limited to lew York-and
then got off before a splendid residence
of brick and stone.
Horton lives mere" said the in
spector.
Mr.. Horton was with his wife and
Elsie eating supper, when a servant
announced that two persons wanted to
see him on important business. He
went into the wide hall where the
two sat waiting, and looked at Rob
curiously. Rob was worth looking at
just then. His face was flushed with
pride and happiness, and the spirit Of
American youth cleaned in his eyes.
What can l do for your" asked Mr..
Horton, kindly.
"Uncle David! Uncle David! Don't
you guess who l ann" burst out Rob.
II am Rob Cleverdale."
Mr.. Horton turned white and stepped
back.

Less than half the crew obeyed. There
was a shout from those who remained.

"The cub must die. Stand aside!"
The pistol was raised again, and at
the same moment a dozen other pistols
came into view. Starne's men had
some, and Rob's men the rest.
This is mutiny!" yelled Starne at
those who stood by Rob. Il will have

Back in the group there was one OF

quite an intelligent face. lie had as

at Rob.

Tho Great wall to BE Destrovoo.

It is curious that when China is lust
on the eve of introducing western
methods of engineering she should
threaten to demolish the greatest en-
Gneering work she possesses; that is
to say, the Great Wall, erected 200
years b. c., for the purpose of keeping
back the Tartars. 1t is stated that an
American engineer is en- route to China
in behalf of a Chicago syndicate which
is expected to take a share in the con-
tract to be given out by the Chinese
government for the demolition OF the
wall. The Engineer states that one
French, two British, and three Ger
man firms are also bidding for the
work, payment for which is to be in
the way of rich concessions.

Ancient Coffee Houses.
(The end.)

The coffee house is every night
crowded with men of parts, says the
Connoisseur. Almost every one you
meet is a polite scholar and wit.
Jokes and bonmots are echoed from
box to box; every branch of nature is
critically examined and the merit OF
every production of the press or per-
Torrance at the theaters weighed and
determined. This school-to which
am myself indebted for great part of
my education, and in which, though
unworthy, | am now arrived at the
honor of being a public lecturer-has
bred up many authors, TO the amazing
entertainment and instruction of their
readers. Buttons, the grand archetype
of the Bedford; was frequented by Adj
olson, Steele, Pope and the rest of that
celebrated set who fourished at the
beginning Of this century and was re-
garded with just Difference on account
Of the real geniuses who frequented
it. But we can now boast men of SUI
perior abilities-men who, without any
one acquired excellence, by the mere
dint Of a happy assurance, can exact
the same tribute of veneration and re-
ceive it as due to the illustrious char
acters, the scribblers, layers, fiddlers,
gamblers, that make so large part OF
the company at the Bedford.

NEW YORK. Jan. 1.-THE funeral to-day
of the Rev. DIR. Edward McGlynn. in St.
Stephens Church. OF which he was former
ly the pastor, was the occasion of a mani
festation of popular affection such as has
rarely been witnessed. The coffin contain
ing the remains of the beloved priest was
deposited at the altar rail of the church
at $50 a. m, and from that time until
the doors were closed at 1880 p. m. forty
thousand persons, ii is estimated, looked
on the face of the dead. For four hours a
compact stream of humanity poured into
the church through the Twenty-eighth-
street entrance. They moved in pairs up
the middle aisle to the foot of the coffin.
where they parted. one person always going
to the right the other to the left, and then,
after gazing upon the face that had been
loved by so many thousands, they passed
out of the church by the exits on Twenty
ninth street.
The head had been slightly raised in de-
ference to an understood wish that every
body in the church might see the features
of the dead from different parts of the
church. The purple robes of the priest still
clothed the body, and crucifix was clasped
In his hands. The features wore the same
benevolent expression as I'm life. The chan
Gel was In black and White. All the candel-
abra, altar FILINGS and affairs were clothed
in these somber colors. To the left, in the
middle OF the sanctuary, as one faced the
altar, was a magnificent cross of flowers
surmounted by 81 dove. To the right was
large pillow of red carnations, forget-me-
nots and mignonettes. Both were striking
designs.
Among the first to push their way
through the crowd, with the aid of some
three hundred policemen detailed to pre-
serve order in the vicinity of the church.
were fifty letter carriers from the Letter
Carriers Union, which has held DR.. Nc
Glynn in great respect since his aid TO
them. These men brought a handsome
floral wreath with old Celtic lettering, read
ing, Saga Theron" or, in English, Our
beloved priest"
Many people remained in the church, and
the pews were crowded with more than
$500 persons long before the doors were
closed. At that time there were many on
the streets who had not been able to gain
admission.
The obsequies began at $3.50 with a solemn
chant for the dead, conducted by Rev.
Thomas f. Mclaughlin and Rev. Thomas
O'Connor, of st. Stephens. The mass of
requiem, according to the rules of the Ro-
man Catholic faith, was celebrated by the
Rev. Charles McCready. Rt. Rev. Mons.
j. f. Mooney, vicar general, delivered the
eulogy, and the final absolution was given
by Archbishop Corrigan. The body was
taken to Calvary Cemetery. in Brooklyn.

CENTRAL CHRISTIAN CHURCH.
The Annual Meeting Is Held-A Spien-
did Years Work.

The annual meeting of the congregation
of the Central Christian Church was at
tended by an enthusiastic audience last
night. which listened with many express
sions of approval to the reading of the re-
ports of the various committees, each re-
port indicative of some advance step made
during the past year in the church work
The first report read was that of the SUI
perintendent of the Sunday school depart
ment The average attendance for the year
was 225, a great increase over the attend
ance of last year. Instead of coming out
behind as is usually the case with the
Sunday school departments, the report
shows a balance in the treasury of $17l2
the total collections amounting to S576l2
Of which 1853 was expended.
The Ladies Aid Society one year ago
entered into an agreement to pay off $1,000
of the church's debt and borrowed that
amount of money on its note. 1t has sue
ceeded in the past year in paying this
amount and has collected the further
amount of $1749S, of which amount it has
disbursed Sl6S.SS.
Other boards reporting progress were the
c. W. b. NJ. and the Christian Endeavor
Society, both of which lay claim to great
advances in their years work. DIR. Allen
Il. Philputt, the pastor of the church, said
that il had been one of the most success
full years within his memory as minister.
The report OF the church clerk showed
a total membership of 935, which is an ad-
dition of AL members for the year, being
net gain OF 81, as 90 members were lost
by deaths or removals.
The receipts. as shown by the treasurer
report were $7,547.60 and the expenditures
amounted to 1884. Is, leaving a balance In
the treasury of S1S2.s5. The chief item of
the receipts was the amount collected in
the envelopes, which amounted to $4113.57.
The amount expended for the pastors SAL
airy 81, 500 Four years ago the church
was indebted in the sum of $4,000, but the
debt has now been reduced to s.. 900, and
$1,000 of this money was paid during the
last year.
The trustees elected are b. w. Cole F. G..
Garner and e. j. Robson. The board of
6eacons consists of twenty-fOur members,
eight of whom are elected every year, but
this year nine were elected on account of a
vacancy caused by the death of a trustee
during the past year. The members elect
ed last night are: j. A Mckee, Chauncey
Butler, f. c.. Stewart, j. II. Brill, j. C..
Long and j. w. Hewitt.
Before the meeting adjourned a vote of
thanks was extended to Mrs. +. T. Eden
barter, who resigned organist of the
church on account of i'll health after a
continued service of seven years Mr.. Jo-
seph Joiner was appointed to succeed her.

In the face OF evident popular approval,
critical analysis Is futile. Vera de Noie's
beautifully-staged production has acquired
a firm hold upon the good opinions of Park
patrons, and there are some really ex-
cellent reasons why this should be so.
OF course, the Dreyfus case. upon which
the piece Is founded, has long since grown
away from II. ending in a totally different
manner, but what are the odds? With
theatergoers, the plays the thing, after
all. In Devils Island the rescue of
the poor unfortunate army officer is
brought about through the intervention of
an American newspaper correspondent,
amid the waving of the stars and
stripes" and such scene effectually blots
out all thought of how Dreyfus really was
saved from the horrible fate to which he
had really been condemned.
The same handsome scenery and effects
are shown in the Mole production in
that OF James III. Wallick last season, in
Guiding the ship tossing about in the
midst OF raging pillows. which excites as
much cheering and handclapping as ever.
The cast has been shifted about. enlarged
and otherwise altered, but, in the main,
the piece has suffered little. Miss De Mole,
the authoress, was given hearty welcome
in the role of Countess Nina Petrovsky,
receiving several vigorous encores. Lean
der Blanden as Captain De La Tour, shows
marked Improvement over last years work
In the same role. Some very pleasing COM
edy and acrobatic entertainment is af-
forded by Lew McCord as Tony Pons
and Mary Mullens as Babette. According
TO programme, the play has the same
Babbette this season as last, and this. ac-
cords with the fact, but not so in the case
of Tony Pons. The man who is taking
the part this year looks and acts wonder
fully like the one named Tony West, who
was with the company last season. but
the cast gives his name as Lew McCord.
Devils Island will continue the re-
mainder of the week. 1t will be succeeded
Monday afternoon by "McFadden's Row
of Flats"

ruptcy case of Mrs. +. NJ. Pope, OF Des

that, without regard TO the original in
