The "sIs Hundred Ruffian.."

On Feb. 20, 1888, Lord Maidstone
called the attention of the house to q
speech delivered by O'Connell at q
political dinner In London In which he
asserted that the Tory election COM
mittee Of the day-or the committees
appointed by tho house to try election
petitions, practice which has since
been abolished-had stopped to foul
perjury" In order that their friends
might retain their seats. A vote Of
censure on O'Connell, which was
moved by Lord Maidstone, was car
ried by majority Of nine.
A few days later curious scene was
witnessed in the house. O'Connell had
to stand up In his place In the crowded
chamber while the speaker, James
Abercromby, solemnly reproved him
for "the false and scandalous imputa-
ton" he had cast upon "the honor and
conduct OF members Of the house. 1t
now only remains" said the speaker In
conclusion, that In obedience to tho
commands of this house should repri.
mand you, as now accordingly do"
The reprimand, however, made no i'm
preston upon O'Connell. II have re-
pented OF nothing, l have retracted
nothing" said he In the course Of
speech he delivered when the speaker
resumed his seat, and he concluded by
moving committee before which to
prove his charges. He subsequently
described the house OF commons-In q
speech delivered outside-as "six hun
dred rufiians"

Confederate secret service agent, was
on his way to New York, where he

and hastened ut once to consult with

"What Is 1t, Dana" asked the presi-

asked the president what ought to be
done.

MUST TELL OF THEIR
MARRIED LIFE
Postmasters Reply to Questions
Concerning Married Life.

WASHINGTON d. c., August 12.-
Merritt o. Chance, chief clerk of the
Postoffice Department, several months
ago sent out to all the postmasters
in the country list of questions ask
ing for certain information to be
used in the preparation of the gov
eyrnment "Blue Book, - which is pub
lished every two years. One of the
questions in the list was:
What are you marital relations? %
The object of this particular ques-
ton to find out whether the post
masters are married, single, widowed,
or divorced. But some of the rural
postmasters do not understand the
object of the question. Mr.. Chance
today received several answers, in
which the persons addressed endeav-
ored to give clear and lucid ex-
PLANTATION of the status of their mar
ried life. One postmaster said his
domestic affairs were fine and dan
dy' Another not so fortunate, re-
piled, Fairly middling." A third
postmaster filed in the blank space

fairs with the word, Hell"

ARMY OF GUARDS
FOR HER FORTUNE
Proposes to Do as She Pleases
and Will Defy Interference.

NEW YORK, August 12.-Surroun-
ed by an army of guards and lawyers,
whose constant attendance makes it
almost impossible to serve papers on
her, Mrs Julia Watt Morris Curtiss,
one of the three prospective heirs
to the $50,000000 estate of Mary G..
Pinkney, is defying any attempt to
have her declared incompetent and
to take away from her the control of
her immense fortune. Mrs. Curtiss,
who has been. married twice, has a
son, Louis Morris, by her first hus
band, living in Fairfield, Conn, and
Mrs. Curtiss' lawyer intimated today
that they believed Mr.. Morris has
begun proceedings against her" in
Connecticut on the ground that she
has recklessly squandered huge sums
of money during the past year.
The assertion that she had spent
$350000 in the past year, thousand
dollars a day-was denied by Mrs.
Curtiss.
Mrs. Curtiss, who is niece of
Miss Pinkney, divides her time be-
tween her handsome residence at No.
142 West Eighty-sixth street, and a
luxurious suite of rooms in the Sa-
voy hotel She never leaves her
home unless accompanied by one or
more lawyers or retainers to guard
her against reproach

There was, practically, complete

All over the country the strike

While the operators in the Ameri-

PROHIS IN FEAR AT
EFFECT OF BILL
Amazed at Wnght's Measure
and Discuss Effect.

ATLANTA, August 1.-THE men,
bers and officers of the Fulton Coun-
ty Anti-Saloon League are consider
ably stirred up over the action of the
House of Representatives in incor-
porating in the general tax act a
provision taxing clubs where intox-
icants are kept in lockers $500 a
year.
In an interview Vice President Nc
Cord of this league declared that
such license would amount to
authorization to bling tigers to con-
duct their Illicit business in spite
of the state prohibition law.
Social clubs, he said, would spring
up all over the state merely as sub
terfuges, for the purpose of dispos-
ing of intoxicants and the very end
and aim of the state prohibition law
would be defeated
Mr.. McCord and other members OF
the league did not comment, however,
on the fact that this amendment to
the bill was offered by Mr.. Wright of
Floyd, one of the state prohibition
leaders in the House.
