for the prevention of cruelty to ami mals, against vivisection, etc., warning them with 8 solicitude in accord with her gentle looks against reading them just before retiring if they were at all nervous.
 They went upstairs to the room where services are held every evening, having church services less often. In the room are some thirty or forty chairs facing the desk and organ. The floor is polished, with mats here and there, and few pictures hang on the walls, which are otherwise undecorated. Throughout the buildings many of the walls are left bare, and wherever they are papered light delicate shades are used Even their bedrooms are shared, there being two small iron beds in each room. In their own sitting room there are a num- Der of books, both piano and an or gan, papers and a general air of pleasant family meeting room.
 The visitors then passed to another building, in which are situated the Kitchens. They are on the first floor and are wonderfully convenient. In the largest room are several long flat stoves, on which all their boiling IS done. Off of this room are several smaller ones where the food is prepared for cooking SO that they need not be in the heated kitchen more than neces- sary. It was here that the guide re- marked that in the winter evenings they often asked the "brethren' in to shell beans with them, and then they had very gay times" The visitors in voluntarily glanced at one another and afterwards on comparing notes found that the word gay" in that place struck them as paradox. In still an- other room great brick ovens, four or five feet In depth, are built, and here, of course all the baking is done. Be- yond this is the canning kitchen where improved kinds of strainers and many ingenius devices to aid in the work can be seen. Instead of keeping food. water and ice in refrigerator they have an immense vault built into the ground, with spring water running

through 1t in pipes to keep it cool. Here they have plenty of room and every thing is out of the way
 The COW barn was next visited. The cows were all in their stalls, which oc- cupied both sides of the building. They are never tied, the guide remarked, but are kept in their stalls by bars. To facilitate the labor of feeding so many there are numerous trap doors in the floor above, so that the hay can be dropped down close to the stalls. They went upstairs to the hay loft, room of immense size, filled with hay. A door on one side was opened and what was their surprise to find that the floor on which they stood was on level with the road in back of the barn, which was built on the side of hill, so that when the hay is being brought in the teams drive right into the barn.
 The laundry is in another building. Here is an immense washing machine, operated by mechanical force, into which the clothes are put and washed, rinsed and blued without being taken out, the clothes being lifted out of one water on racks, the water drawn off and fresh put in. Racks on the walls can be drawn out and the clothes dried on wet days by means of steam.
 In speaking the Shakers have but one peculiarity of speech and that is the use of yea and nay. They wear no regula- tion costume, but soft subdued shades. Gray and pale blue seem to be their favorites. Some very cid people were seen, one old lady who they were told was eighty-five, but there were more midd1e-aged people around, some young girls, and a little one about five years of age. The children of the community are adopted children.
 None of them was idle. It was the middle of the afternoon and some of the household labors were relaxed, but every ones hands were busted in mak- ing the little fancy articles they sell or in some other way. It seems to be a life of deep peace, easily associated with the gentle guide of the party, but wholly at variance with youth of any

STIRRED IN THE NECK.
A Quarrel on Hedge Street Came Near
 Ressvlting Fatally.

The families of Martin Connolly and James Kenney, both living at NO. lo Hedge street, had a lively TOW last night and in the scrap Connolly was stabbed in the back of the neck and cut about the hands by a jackkn1fe wielded by Kenney. Mrs. Connolly and Mrs. Kenney have been on the outs for some time and last evening as Mrs Connolly was passing window of the Kenneys' apartments Mrs. kenney threw some beer on her. Connolly went into the Kenneys' rooms to remonstrate and then the scrap ensued Connolly pulled his jackknife and sailed in.
 After the smoke of the battle had cleared away it was found that Con- molly had a bad cut in the back of the neck. Dr. William J. Butler Of 424 Howard avenue was called and took four stitches in the wound The knife blade just grazed the spinal column. Had it struck the vertebrae the proba- bility is that a fatal wound would have been inflicted. Kenney was ar rested and locked up on a breach of the peace charge

 self of the Russian note to address to the powers an inquiry as to their poli- cies. an answer to which can scarcely be avoided.
 Various meanings may be placed mon the statements of the two princl- pals to this correspondence. Thus on the one hand, it may be noted that while Russia announces purpose to withdraw her troops from China, still as to the occupying force at Niu Chwang a condition is attached that almost negatives the proposition as to that point. Respecting our own atti- tude. it appears that, while believing the best course to pursue IS to remain in Pekin, our government is still will ing to withdraw. Perhaps thls means that if there is to be separate action bv the powers in China, the United States proposes to deal with the situa- tion with a free hand.
 It may be noted in connection with our withdrawal statement that whereas Russia proposed to withdraw from China our offer is to withdraw only from Pekin. A significant fact in this connection Is that General Chatfee, who is well advised of the situation, having several days ago been directed to pre- pare for just such an emergency as that precipitated by the Russian &C., lion. continues his preparations for wintering the American troops in China. Indeed unless the men are af1oat and out of the Pei Ho within the next six weeks, they are likely to ra- main in China perforce, being ice bornd. General Chaffee was further advised to day of the developments in teb situation. a compendious statement of the points in the Russo American correspondence being cabled to him for his guidance.
 As bearing further on the prospects of the future, it may be noted that the war department officials state that the government has not considered the question of evacuation of China,
 It scarcely is expected that even with the aid of the cables a complete ac- cord can be reached upon this last proposition unanimously or immediate lv. Up to the close of the official day only two communications had been re- ceived in consequence of our last note. One was from the British foreign of flee. tkWough the American embassy, stating that Lord Salisbury was ab-'

MOUNT LEBANON SHAKERS
4 WATERBURY YOUNG LADY VISITS
 THE FAMOUS COMMUNITY.
The Peculiar Customs and Beliefs of the sect-The "Gay Times'' the Men and Women Have Smelling Beans Sim pIicity of Life and Dress.

Few people in this section of the country know much of that quiet, peaceful band of people dwelling at Mt. Lebanon, New York state, and com mOnly known as the Shakers. They received the name of Shakers from a certain rhythmical movement of the members in their religious ceremonies. There are several communities of them scattered throughout the country, and that at Mt Lebanon is one of the most important. A Waterbury young lady recently had the pleasure of visiting them in their home and thus learning little of their home and work.
 As a religious body they hold peculiar views regarding second coming of Christ and teach the doctrine of celi- bacy. They live in communities, owning nothing individually and shar- ing everything in common. The Leb- anon Shakers live on the eastern slope of the Berkshire Hills, in Columbia county, New York. Here they own 5000 acres of land, through which runs the old highway to Pittsfield, once the only road. The settlement consists of a dozen houses or so with their own postoffice, and d church where in for mer years public services were held. They are not at all reticent about their affairs, welcoming the stranger and piloting him about with apparent pleasure.
 It was a warm afternoon that the visit was made and at first there was no one in sight. After while Wo- man came from one of the houses and, asking the visitors if they wished to see the buildings, led them first to a public parlor, where she told they they could rest and cool off while she found them guide. It was large, airy room, plain and spotlessly clean, and with a strange rest and peace pervaded the atmos- phere. Soon Sister Catherine, as they afterwards heard her called, appeared and conducted them through the build ing.
 Besides this public parlor there is a public dining room, where strangers can buy dinner, cooked by the Shak- CTS, or various small articles for sou- vanirs, such as miniature Shaker bon nets or household articles, such as aus ters, table linen, etc. In these rooms rules for strangers to observe are found on all sides, enjoining them not to touch anything, to pluck flowers, etc, and one in the dining room was espe- cially emphasized by repetition Strangers are warned against sinful Wastefulness." In the dining room all visitors are requested to register, and here the guide gave them numerous pamphlets in the interests Of societies
