Nobwalk, Conn., May 3. Society in
this city is today shocked by the revela
tions of a drummer, and it must be ad
mitted that there is scarcely a single
family in Norwalk society which is not
filled with emotions of some kind by the
discovery just made, that Herbert Roos
evelt Van Rensselaer, of New York, was
only Arthur Adler, formerly a cloak
salesman. Norwalk society is largely
made up of families of wealthy manfac
tnrers and merchants and a few minis
ters, doctors and lawyers. Herbert
Rooaevalt Van Rensselaer came here rec
ommended by "his own family of Van
Reneselser, the Astors and the Vander
bilts." He said Ward McAlister was a,
- chnm of his, and boasted of Mrs. Astor's
friendship. He secured a position as
teacher in a swell academy and at once
set about, breaking the hearts of the
' rich and handsome heiresses of the town.
He was on the eve of marrying the
richest of them when the exposure came
in the person of a drummer who knew
him. Today Adler fled, and then it was
' found that he owed big bills to almost
everybody in town.
Europe Very Quiet.
New York, May 3. While it is true
' that reports from all points of import-
ance in provinces of France show that
no serious disorders have occurred be-
- cause of collisions with anarchists,
papers generally, in commenting on the
quietness, give warning that appearances
are deceitful ; that there will no doubt
be trouble in the end. In Spain it was
so very quiet on May day that the queen
-drove through the City Park in an open
carriage, without an escort. Her action
- did much to give courage to those who
feared almost to leave the shelter of their
homes. The only disturbance to note in
Holland was at Leunarden. A contest
between the police and workmen became
so serions that the cavalry was called
out and dispersed the rioters. The ex
citement continued throughout the eve
ning. Many window a by
. iftsi2a, May"3. Marie L. Williams,
a pioneer resident of this state, died last
week on her farm near Grand Rapids,
where she had lived for many years
alone.' She was a well-known character
and in selling her farm products could,
drive the sharpest kind of bargains. It
was supposed she was in reduced cir
cumstances, but upon looking over her
assets, it was found she leaves $14,000
worth of productive real estate and $9,
000 worth of gilt-edge personal property,
the result of many years' hard work,
saving and shrewd investment. She
left no will, and the property will be
divided between her brother, Byron L.
Rainsford of Caro, Tuscola county, and
a niece, Miss Mae II. Rainsford, of De
troit. Will Be Properly Protected.
Caspbb, Wyo., May 4. A chain of
testimony is being formed that will
bring the prisoners now at Fort Russell
at least under the shade of the gallows.
Jones and Walker, two trappers, who
witnessed the killing of Champion and
Ray at the K. C. ranch, have been here
several days. It has recently developed
that the stockmen sent two men from
Cheyenne to get them ont of the way,
either by fair means or foul. Today
Under-Sheriff Kimball came np and took
Jones and Walker to Douglas, where
they will be properly protected.
Minister! In Session.
The Methodist ministers of The Dalles
district assembled in the M. E. Church
of this city this morning, and are hold
ing quite an interesting session. . Var
ious papers were read and discussed
daring thgday and the sessions will
continue tomorrow. The evening ses
sion of tomorrow will be a missionary
service in charge of Mrs. A. E. Mnlliran
of Fossil. The members of the associa
tion will attend the mass temperance
convention in the Court ; house tonight.
Those present are Rev.'s A. 6 Mulligan
and lady, of Fossil; J. W. Rigby and
lady, of Hood River; F. L. Johns and
lady, of Columbus; R. C. MoterandG.

' 1845.
J. B. Nelson, a resident of North Yak
ima, was in the city last Tuesday on his
wav home from Dufur. where he has
been undergoing medical treatment from
Dr. Vanderpool for cancer. - In an inter
view with a Chbonicijc representative.
Mr. Nelson said that he camped at the
mouth of Mill creek on the 15th of Sep
tember, 1845, after having crossed the
plains from Missouri. The only white
persons here at that time were the two
Methodist missionaries, Messrs. Waller
and Brewer, who had arrived here the
year before. The only houses here were
a couple of stone, shanties built by the
missionaries on the . bluff. Mr. Nelson
made his way down the river and
camped on the bank of the Willamette
where Portland now stands, wot a sim
gle claim had yet been taken np at that
place. Mr. Nelson admired the loca
tion but could not think of stopping
where there was not a white man nearer
than Oregon City. At this latter place
Mr. Nelson staved for a time and at
other places farther south till 1859 when
his health failed and he moved to
Eastern Washington and became the
first , whfte settler in Yakima county,
Mr. Nelson is now in his 7oth year
but is cmite vigorous for his age. He is
a fine conversationalist, possesses
remarkable memory and a large fund of
interesting nioneer reminlsences and
information. -
Fined In Cigars for the Crowd.
An amusinz "case" came before the
recorder Tuesday last. Charley Haight
recently put up a new shed on the west
side of his building and after it was
handsomely painted he tacked a card in
front warning the public to "poBt no
bills." Yesterday the whole front of
the shed was found covered with a mis'
cellaneous collection of patent medicine
and tobacco advertisements. Engineer
Georee Brown was charged with the
crime and a warrant was issued for his
arrest and duly served on him this
morning by Marshal Gibons. When the
case" came up in court, Charley Haight
and Dick Fulton, on behalf of the prose
cution, ''swore" point blank that they
had seen George Brown, the defendent,
tack up a number of bills and posters on
the shed referred to in the indictment.
Then the prosecution rested and the
prisoner" was asked if he wished to
make a statement on his own behalf,
He replied curtly : "I don't have to.
"True enough, vou don't have to," said
his honor. "It is entirely at your own
pleasure." "Then I don't please" re
torted the prisoner. "Then," solemly
responded the recorder, "it remains
with me to pronounce the judgment of
this court. You, George Brown, have
been charged with feloniously and mal
iciously posting patent medicine cards
on the wall of Charley Haight's shed
contrary to the ordinance in such case
made and provided. Two witness have
testified that they saw you do the deed,
You have refused to answer in your own
defense and the court can draw no other
conclusion than that you refuse because
you have no answer to make. The sen'
tence of the court is that you set the
cigars up for the crowd." "I appeal to
the supreme court" exclaimed the pris
oner. "Thore is no appeal from this
court," said the recorder severely.
am bust," groaned the prisoner. "I'll
lend you a dollar," answered the re
corder. The dollar was handed out and
the company adjourned to the nearest
cigar store.
Poor Anna Dickinson.
New Yobk, May 4. Anna Dickinson,
who was reported seriously ill last night,
is much better this morning. Her phy
sician says she is out of danger for the
present but her hour is surely drawing
nigh. Her last appearance in this city
some time ago was pathetic in its evi
dence of decline, and the end does not
come in the nature of a surprise to those
who know her.
To Be "Much Cut Down."
Victoria, B. C, May 3. The British
Columbia seal claims commissioners
met yesterday and received forty-one
claims, aggregating $650,000. Commis
sioner Gleadowe said they would have
to be much cut down. He had expected
to send interim reports, but would have
to make them on his return to England
Telegraphic Flashes.
It is stated that the Marquis De

Prominent Americans Taking: Part With
the Hawallans in the Manage
ment of Affairs.
San Fbancisco, May 3.-rHonolulu ad
vices by the steamer Australia, which
arrived at noon today, state that a
severe earthquake shock was felt on the
island of Maui on April 22d. It caused
no damage. Political affairs have been
very quiet during the month, not the
slightest ripple being observed. The
decision of the supreme conrt that the
election 0 the nobles on Oahu island
was valid was expected to cause some
dissatisfaction in the ranks of the Wilcox
party, but the decision of the court was
not altogether unexpected, and that
party accepted the situation. Queen
Liliuokalani issued a proclamation April
lltb, convening -the Hawaiian legisla
ture in regular session at Honolulu,
May 28th. The legislature will be
opened by the queen in person. After
the election of president and other offi
cers, adjournment will be had for one
week, as there will not be much business
presented before the middle of June.
John S. Walker, Henry P. Baldwin, and
William O. Smith are mentioned as con
testants for the honor of presiding over
the session. Gen. A. S. Hartwell, a
leading lawyer here, who', has
been mentioned in connection with the
movement, has published a card admit
ting his sentiments, but denying any
treasonable intent, believing in legal
means only for forwarding the move
ment. Godfrey Brown, ex-minister of
finance for Hawaii, returned here from
England on April 8th, and it was ru
mored that he was the representative of
a large amount ot tngusn capital,
which is to be used in starting a bank
in Honolulu.
The 8-Hour Proposition.
London, May 3. The deputation ap
pointed by the Hyde Park meeting yes
terday' meandered about town -and
called upon the leading statesmen to
learn their opinions as to the eight
hour proposition. Lord Salisbury and
Mr. Balfour declined to receive the dep
utation ; so did Mr. Gladstone, but he
sent it word in writing that.he believed
the eight-hour system had not been suf
ficiently considered by those most af
fected by it. : The deputation, ' subse
quently discussing Gladstone's reply,
showed considerable "ill-feelin at it. A
motion was made that it ba placed in
the waste paper basket. A member,
however, pointed out that it was evident
that Gladstone's mind was still open,
and after furter angry debate, the sub
ject was dropped.
Should Hang, Probably.
London, May 3. The grand jury re
turned a true bill against Charles Mow
bray, publisher, and David Nichol, edi
tor, of an anarchist paper, the Common
Weal, for soliciting and encouraging
certain persons to murder Rt. Hon.
Henry Mathews, secretary of state for
the home department ; Sir Henry Hawk
ing, one of the justices of the high courts
of justice; and William Melville, inspec
tor of police. The prosecution is bassed
upon an article recently published in
the Common Weal in connection with
the conviction of the Walsall anarchists.
Foreign Amusements.
Liege, May 3. A dynamite cartridge
explored on the threshold of Count Min-
ette's residence last evening. The house
and building adjoining, which is that of
General Loudon, of the civic guard, for
whom it is thought the dynamite was in
tended, with their contents were par
tially wrecked. Flagstones were torn np,
and all windows' within a radios of 200
yards were damaged. A German, who
fled just after the explosion, was ar
rested, bat denied being the author of
the outrage. -
Will not be Instructed.
Stocton, Cal., May 3. The republican
state convention to choose delegates to
the Minneapolic convention to be held
here today met this afternoon. The
platform will indorse the Harrison ad
ministration, bat it ia believed that the
delegates will not be instructed. Irwin
Stump, who will call the convention to
order at 2 o'olock, stated this morning
that he did not think it likely that the
matter of the election of delegates to the
national convention would be reached
before tomorrow, unless ar night session
be agreed upon. He expected that con
siderable time will be consumed in the
reports of committees and contests ever
credentials. . r
It Opened His Eyes.
" Steuben, N. Y., May 4. Childlaw
Evans is a ' well-to-do and easy-going
farmer of this town, past middle age.
He married, late in life, a woman much
younger than himself. She liked to
wear good clothes and halve lively com
panions. Eli Jones, a young man about
town, who was said to have been an ad
mirer of Mrs. Evans before she was mar-
ried, continued to pay her marked atten
tions. After marriage the unsuspicious
farmer raised no objections,' although
other people were less tolerant, and won
dered how farmer Evans could permit
his wife to pass so much time in the
company of the gay young bachelor Jones.
One day last week Mrs. Evans expressed
a desire to go to Utica and get some
spring dresses. The same day Mr. Jones
came around and suggested to Mr. Evans
that he contemplated making a business
trip to Utica, and if Mr. Evans would
lend his carriage, he (Jones) would drive
Mrs. Evans to the city and return that
lady and the rig safely home at a season
able time. Mr. Evans lent Jones the
carriage and bountifully replenished bis
wife's puree for the shopping tour. The
pair failed to return at the appointed
hour, a ad a hasty search of the house
disclosed the fact that they had carried
off with them a big trunk containing all of
Mrs. Evans' best dresses and jewelry
and the family silverware. The fugitives
have been traced across the country to
Herkimer, and are reported to have
taken a West Shore train there for" Chi
cago. Mr. Evans will begin an action
for divorce. . .
An Important Expedition.
New Yobk, May 4. W. H. Gilder,
who, with Lieutenant Schwatka, won
fame in bringing back from the Northern
regions information respecting Franklin
and his expedition; again proposes to
make a journey to the North, this time
at the head of a party to make a mag
netic survey of the region immediately
surrounding the Northern magnetic pole.
The American Geographical society, the
National Academy of sciences at AVash
ington, members of the United States
coast survey and a number of other
scientists are interested in the proposed
expedition. Although some funds have
been pledged for fitting out the party
and carrying on the work, nothing defi
nite has been determined in the way of
plans and the money required. The
American Geographical society, with
Col. Gilder, has taken the initiative in
the matter, and for the purpose of dis
cussing the exploration the society held
a special meeting last night in Checker
ing hall. Prof. Trowbridge said as the
result of the expedition the magnetic
pole might not only be located, but the
whole world ot terrestrial physics bene
fitted. He said in his opinion all mag
netic surveys on land should be prohib
ited, as the true importance and bene
fits derived were on sea alone. He
looked forward to the time when a sta
tion would be established in the neigh
borhood of the magnetic pole, and tele
graphic communication made between
it and the rest of the world.
Sweaters and the Public.
Washington, May 5. The wage-workers
have persuaded congress to under
take an investigation of sweaters in
American cities that have already had
good results from the publicity of its in
quiries. Repressive legislation may be
found necessary but no one expects that
it wi'l reach the root of the evil. The
influence of loosely administered immi
gration laws upon the overcrowded labor
market in cities is a legitimate corollary
of the present investigation. The awak
ening of boards of health to the enormity
of disease-breeding workshops is another
result that is hoped for. But the setting
of the legal machinery in motion will
hardly help the victims of the sweating
process as much as the formation of a
sound public sentiment against thought
leasly countenancing the evil. - Individ
uals can make sweat shops unpopular
and unprofitable. The purchaser of
clothes can insist on" knowing the con'
ditions under which they were made,
He can refuse to patronize the emporium
where goods are handled that are the
product of sweat-shops.
Talked indiscreetly--But Well.
Bbuslels, May 4. Today at Mons,
the man who divulged the anarchist plot
was arrested. The prisoner, with four
other men, arranged to blow np the res
idences of several leading citizens. The
arrested man had in bis possession five
powerful dynamite cartridges, and it is
believed if he had not talked indiscreetly
to a supposed fellow-workman, who. was
a detective in disguise,-that Mons would
have suffered .a serious and disastrous
explosion. Four other men will soon
be arrested. The police today discovered
the location of the anarchists in the out
skirts of the city. A printer was ar
rested and a dynamite cartridge found
on a window-sill of a house near Liege.
The fuse was ignited, bat quenched, and
the explosion thwarted. The police of
Liege today searched over fifty houses in
which anarchists resided. '
. - Was Put Ont.
London, May 5. Cunningham Gra
ham, a socialist, .who was suspended
from his seat in the house of commons
yesterday, amidst a confusing debate on
the land question, still retains a vivid
recollection of the hustling he received,
and reiterates his determination today
to arraign" the house of commons as a
swindle, and to expose it before 100,000
people in Hyde Park. .

In Russia.
Barcelona, Venezuela, May 4. Pres
ident Palacia has sent an army from the
capital to engage the enemy, A battle
may be expected south of Caracas. The
object of the president in this move
seems to be to draw the revolutionists
from Valencia and Calabossa, which
they now surround, preventing commu
nication between the government ' gen
erals Ybarra, Aranjo and Casanas, who
are located in these towns and the cap
ital. ' If Palacio'e forces should . prove
victorious, they will undoubtedly march
to the relief of the beseiged cities.
Palacio seems to have arrived at the
conclusion that he must act aggressively
or the revolutionists will become so pow
erful that they will sweep all before
them.
Reported Purchase of Boeorru.
San Fbancisco, May 4. A rather
startling story is circulated here, that
part of the island of Socorro, off the
coast of Mexico and belonging to that
republic, has been sold to the British
government. It is stated .the price paid
was $100,000. Socorro is not much of
an island, but there is a good bay there
and it would be a first-class place for a
coaling station. England is very anx
ious to make a coaling station in that
part of the world, and this fact lends
color to the story. At the Mexican con
sulate they say they have no news of
such a sale and do not think it is a prob
able event. A merchant, whose advices
keep him constantly informed concern
ing occurrences in Mexico said : . "The
Diaz government would not dare make
such a sale. In the . first place they
would not offend the .United States, as
this would undoubtedly do. But the
main argument against the probability
of the sale of the island is that the Mex
ican people are exceedingly jealous of
their land and would resent the sale of a
foot of it. It would produce much the
same effect as the sale of an American
island would on your people." The is
land of Socorro is one of the group near
which the brig Tahiti was lost. The
island is uninhabited, and is covered by
rugged mountains.
Arson as a Fino Art,
Chicago, May 5. The recent trapping
of certain professors of arson in Chicago
is very important for more reasons than
one. The disclosures provo that the
detestable crime is not confined to skulk
mg maurauders, bent on revenge or
plunder. The systematic defrauding of
insurance companies was carried on by
fires started deliberately in fashionable
residence districts. According to the
preliminary evidence, a band of well
dressed conspirators moved from place
to place, taking out policies on cheap
furniture and then setting fire to the
furniture. In this way a snug snm
seems to have been realized from the in
surance companies. Tho boldness of this
procedure is not the only thing con
nected with it that is of interest to the
public. It is the possible consequences
of arson that render it so infamous a
crime. Bad as 'is the burning of busi
ness property, those who deliberately
set fire to occupied, dwellings at night
easily surpass that grade of crime.
Kellerers la Dr. Teed.
Chicago, May 5. The college of Life,
headquarters of Dr. Cyrus Teed's Kores
han faith, received sixty converts from
California yesterday, among whom is a
Mrs. Knight, niece of the millionaire
Charles Crocker deceased. Mrs. Knight
is a widow, forty-eight years of age, and
has three children 17 to 20 years of age,
who, as soon as they finish their edu
cation they will join their mother and
devote their lives to Dr. Teed and the
promulgation of his doctrines. It is said
Mrs. Knight has given all her wealth
into the hands of Teed. -
. .Concerning Millbank.
New Yobbv May 5. It is intimated
that when he gets through with the gory
compacts now in hand the redoubtable
duelist, H. Vane' Milbank, is coming
back to America to rebuke by the code
the impertinence of a number of natives
who called him names. . Mr. Milbank
will doubtless be pained to learn that
the entire population of the United
States is still right at home, with no
evident desire to get away.
River and Harbor BUI is -Safe.
Washington, May 5. As anticipated,
economist Hoi man endeavored ia .every
way to prevent the consideration of the
river and harbor bill but it was . shown
beyond all question that the majority of
the members of congress believes this
bill is an important one and ought to be
passed. The action of the house today
in deciding to consider the bill meana
practically that when the time-cornea it
will go through. It was -observed that
those members who opposed It were tha,
ones who received nothing in. their dis
tricts for river and harbor -improve-
merits.
Judge Gilbert's Co.
Portland, May 5. The-.first United

St. Pbtkbsbcbg, May-4. The anarch
istic pamphlets blaming the czar and
government for the famine and misery
now prevailing in parte- of the empire
are largely increasing, in circulation,
much to the annoyance of the court and
government. A reward of 100,000 rub
les has been offered.-tor the arrest of tha
writers, printers or disseminators of the
inflammatory publications.
Getting Down to Business. .'
Madrid, May 4. The government

rages be tried by a special court, and on
conviction be punished by death. . .
A Bothersome Nam.

At least, that ia what Mr. Sawyer Cook,
of this city, thinks about it. His baby
had the cramps the other night, and
paregorio did not seem to . have tha
slightest: effect upon . the little sufferer,
so Mr,. Cook flew for. the doctor pea
haste He pulled the bell with a rouaiag
ierk Up went, the side window, an!
the physician's, voice called excitedly,
"Who'a there?"
"Sawyer Cook," hurriedly cried tha
anxious father. '
"Saw my cook, did you? Well, what
tile- dence do I care if you saw the cook,
the chambermaid, the butler and tha
stable boy?.. You let that bell alone, yon
loon, or IH break your facet Get out ot
that!" . '
"But I tell you Ym no. loon. Tm Saw
yer Cook!" .
"Confound it, what do I care if yen
did see my cook? That's her business if
she wants to gallivant around at night.
I mind my busiaess, she minds hers, and
you had better go about yours If you
want to keep, out of trouble. . Hear me?
"I don't know anything about your '
servants, doctor, and I am not drunk;
but my baby is sick, and . if yon don
hurry np she will, die!"
"Your baby's sick? Who are your"
cried the doctor in astonishment one
more.
"Why, I'm Mr. Sawyer Cook, of S4S
Gripe street, as I told yon before, and
my baby's dying with the cramp!" cried
the agonized father. .
"Oh, beg pardon, sir 1 thought yon
were some bum. I will be down di
rectly!" The baby is all right now, but Mr.
Sawyer Cook wants his name changed.
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
Rob Roy Bad the Best of It.
The far famed Rob Roy MacGregor
was confessedly the best swordsman of
his day. His celebrity for wielding tha
claymore excited MacNeil of Barra, to
visit him for the express purposo of try
ing his prowess. Barra was a gentle
man, possessing the qualities that endear
a chief to his clan, with the accomplish
ments which confer acceptability in pol
ished circles. On arriving at Rob Boya
house the MacNeil 'chieftain found ha
was at Buchanan attending the market,
and thither he repaired. ' He met sev
eral gentlemen on horseback on their
way home, and accosting the nearest,
begged to know if Rob Roy waa still at
the fair.
"Who inquires for Rob Roy?"' inquired
a voice, more remote.
"MacNeil of Barra," said tho chief.
Bob Boy approached, announcing him
self, and after exchanging salutes Barra,
said: v. -
"I have heard Bob Boy extolled as tha
best swordsman pf our times, and have
come a long journey to prove whether ha
or I deserve that commendation."
"Chieftain of Barra," said Rob Roy.
"I never sought a quarrel with any man;
and if it pleases you to think yourself
the better swordsman I have ho objec
tion to your opinion."
"This is the language of fear," said
Barra.
"Who dares to speak of fear to RoH
Bob MacGregor?" said MacGregor. "Dis
mount, sir, and try. if I'm afraid."
The chivalrous encounter immediately
commenced, and Rob Roy found Barra,
nearly his match; bnt after ' much dex
terous play he wounded the chieftain in
the sword arm, so that he was for sev- '
eral months confined at Buchanan.
