SANKEY'S GREAT AFFLICTIoN.
The Celebrated Gospel Singer, Who
LabOred with Moody, Will
Never See Again.

New York, May 5.-Very little hope
is held out by his physicians that Ira
D. Sankey, the singing evangelist
who was associated for many years
with the late Dwight L. Moody, will
ever recover his sight. Some weeks
ago an operation was performed on
Mr.. Sankey and afterwards he i'm
proved in health. For a time it was
thought that he would recover his
sight. ..
1t is probable, however, that he
will never see again.
The improvement in his general
health did not extend to his vision.
He is still under treatment in order
to prevent a return of the painful
eye malady, which might endanger
his general health.
Mr.. Sankey refuses to be seen, and
his son, Allan, will not answer in
quiries about his condition.

Met Death inL Louisiana.

Grand Island, Neb., July 24.-In-
formation has been finally received
from Shreveport, La, as to the de-
tails of the mui der Of George Pid-
dock in that city ON July s. On July
9 the parents Of Piddock, who Ie-
Gently moved to this city from North
Platte, received telegram briefly
announcing that their son had been
killed and the remains were being
held. Order was sent to have them
shipped to this city and an effort was
made to ascertain the cause Of death
but until now to no avail, Papers
received from Shreveport indicate
that the man was cruelty murdered
while entertaining sumo of his friends
in saloon. just before leaving for
Nebraska. Paddock was boiler
maker who went to louisiana from
North Platte during the Kansas City
Southern railway strike and it is
judged from the papers received that
lawlGssness was quite rampant there,
leading to such conditions that Pld-
dock, among others was about tC
leave. Someone sneaked up from be-
hind in the saloon and struck him
over the head with piece Of gas
pipe and the friends with whom hC
was would not give any information
until they were finally arrested.
One ii. w. HUFF is in jail accused
of The murder. The district attomel
at Shreveport seems to be diligeu'
now in looking up the case and pros
ecuting those charged with tht
crime.

In the description which DR.. Flett

ton wrought by the West Indian erup-

written by DR.. Treub and Prof. Pen

corollary to these later observations
by affording an insight into the stages

The explosion at Krakatoa, which

ashes to a depth Of from three to 100
feet, occurred in 1888. Three years

conclusion was that ferns in such a

Extracts Showing Way His Ideas ana
lImpres.ious We're Set Down.
Extracts from the diary of the Shah
OF Persia, who has quite recently been
visiting England are amusing.
The Shah was nightly impressed
by the greatness and incorruptibility
of the London police, and wrote con-
corning them as follows: 1.-THE Eng
fish police gentlemen are men of the
greatest culture and honor. Unlike
those of many countries, have been
informed that the police of England
and the United States are almost In
corruptible, and that it is impossible
to bride them except by the touch of
gold. These officers carry themselves
with great dignity, but there have
been occasions on which they have
shown commendable alacrity, and have
even been known to be present when
the public peace has been threatened
by certain unseemly ard riotOus citi-
Zens"
The Shah has a very poor opinion OF
the English climate, If enc may judge
from the following extract: ut is
very necessary for the people of Eng
land to wash thoroughly and frequent
ly In order to clear themselves from
the constant fogs and rains that fall
upon them. SO much do the people Of
Britain love water that they some
times wash twice daily. Even the
members Of the royal family and the
great mobiles find pleasure in this
somewhat childish occupation"
This despotic monarch's opinion of
English women's charms and accom-
ing: "An English lady is very fair to
look upon. Her skin is soft and clean,
but her figure is unnatural and angu-
lar. She has certainly not the pleas
! ing vivacity of a French lady, neither
| has she the captivating boldness Of an
American lady, Of whom many are in
/ London. An English woman is pas
sionately fond of all animals, and Is
often devoted to her husband and chill.

Rome July 25-The nearer the con-.
Clave approaches the more two dis
tinct tendencies are shown in the
sacred college especially among the
cardinals of the ruria, that Is to say
those living in Rome, but which the
cardinals from the provinces as well
as the fnreign cardinals cannot help
participating.
These two tendencies spring from.
the personality of Cardinal Rampolla
as the great struggle continues TO be
in his favor or against him. II Ram
pOlla finds that in the first ballot he
has a considerable number of votes
he Will try again. If he has a few
votes and one Of his opponnetS has
many he will Tenounce his chance
Rnd he and all his friends will sup
port, first, Cardinal Gotti, with
whom he now has come to some such
agreement and to attempt to raise
Gotti to supreme of1ice with Ram
polla as an ally. This would mean
the maintenance OF Pope Leo's policy
on exactly the same lines entrusted
10 the same men.
But Gotti enspires great distrnst
because he belongs to the religious
orders. He would render the situat-
ion of the papacy extremely difficult
ut the present moment, considering
the conditions prevailing 10 France
Spain and Italy. 1t seems therefore
that on the first ballot, if Gotti can
not be successful, this section of the
sacred college will decide on Cardinal
I'll PietTo, one of Rampolla'S most
faithful followers.
Rampo la, being Sicillian, can
count on the two Sicillian cardinals
hne OF them however, Cardinal Ce-
lesia archbishop Of IrlemnO, is so old

strongly oppose his going to Rome.
For political reasons all Spanish
cardinals are favorable to Rampolla
