cians in charge of the patients has exam'
ined the ice cream cans, and says there
was not enough sulphate of nine about

from the fact that those who first, ate of

persons were encaged in serving the

style, at the Russell house. The senator

an occasional visit to the bar. The sena

young lady of 18, who had been attend
ing school at a Catholic seminary, in
Georgetown, D. C, graduated last week.

truant statesman here, but it did not.
Miss Jones, it is said, did not appear up
on the stage with the other young wo

was so much embarrassed by the un
pleasant notoriety, which her father has
gained, that she did not wish to be seen
on such a public occasion.

declaration that a strong effort, backed
by ample moans to enforce it, would bo
made to move the fifty-six cars of freight
to its destination and send out the ship
ments awaiting transportation in the
company's yards at the city limits, lne
determinations to move trains at all
hazards which has been arrived at by the
railroad companies, taken with the
equally decided stand of the strikers that
trains shall not be moved, seemed to
point to an inevitable conflict during the
day.
The first thing attended to by the
Pinkerton men was to drive every one
from the tracks. There are fully 200
police and specials now stationed along
the tracks between Forty-first and Forty-
fifth streets, guarding the line and round
house. The strikers and their adherents
are congregated just outside the right 'of

Small Returns.
Washington, June 29. The endorse
ment of President Cleveland's adminis
tration by Oregon does not pan out much
after all. The democratic governor-elect
has written a letter to mends in this
city, in which he distinctly denies that

the contest at all, but says the Chinese
question was the only issue upon which
t he battle was lougut and won.
PERILS OF THE OFF OYSTEE.
"Now, my darling," said he, " I would
ask you to have some oysters to-night.
but since the Rs have disappeared from
the months oysters are not good, in fact
the scientists say they are hurtful. Of
course you would not ask me to treat you
to anything hurtful."
"Certainly not, dear John, and there is
ice cream, you know."
"I am aware of it, but they say that
arsenic goes into the manufacture of ice
cream."
"AU the better, dear John. There is
nothing better for the complexion than
arsenic."
"But, my love "
"Never mind, John, I'm willing to risk
ii."
"But if you should die. darling?"
"You will take a plate also and we will
die together."
Then John was forced to confess that
he had only fifteen cents in bis pocket
ana tne engagement was at an end.

pictures which have been published to

her leet, and her shoulders are very pret

has a beautiful neck, pretty pink ears,

and her eyes are perhaps the prettiest

a remedy, lhis national monarchy,
which I am the representative, can alone
reduce the importance of men of disorder,
who threaten the repose of the country :

ability which will be in Europe a

PARLIAMENT IHSSOLVED.
Text of the Queen's Speech The "Appeal
to the Country."
London, June 25. Parliament was pro

speech :
"My Lords and Gentlemen : I have
determined to release you from your high
duties before the full accomplishment of
the regular work of the session, in order
to ascertain the sense of my people on
the important proposal to establish a
legislative body in Ireland for the man
agement of Irish as distinguished from
imperial affairs. With this object it is
my intention to dissolve parliament.
"I continue to happily maintain the
most friendly relations with foreign pow
ers. I have the satisfaction to acquaint
you with the fact that the warlike opera
tions of Servia against Bulgaria nave
been brought to a close, through the wise
counsels of the powers and the forbear
ance of the sultan ; and also, after a pe
riod of anxiety, of the adoption of pacific
counsels by Greece. The agreement of
Greece to disarm is now in force, and it
has removed a serious danger to the
peace of Europe.
"The state of affairs in Egypt has im
proved. I have beun enabled to materi
ally reduce my force in that country, and
to bring it within the southern limits of
Egypt proper.
' "I have concluded arrangements with
Spain, which, if adopted by the cortes,
will, I trust, increase our commercial in
tercourse with Spain, and also encourage
tne importation of colonial wines.
1 have felt a lively pleasure in pro
moting the exhibition of products, man
ufactures, and arts of my colonial and
Indian dominions, which is now being
held in the metropolis.
"Finally, it is my earnest prayer that
the parliament about to be elected may
bl so guided as to promote the peace,
happiness, and contentment of my peo
ple and the strength and union of the
empire."

stone and Heecher.
Liverpool, June 28. Gladstone this
afternoon addressed the electors of Liver
pool In tfengiers circus. He was re
ceived with boundless enthusiasm. The
circus was crowded to its utmost capaci
ty, 5,000 persons being present. Hun
dreds of people were nnable to gain ad
mittance and crowded around outside.
Gladstone said the enthusiasm in favor
of home rule surpassed anytlnss he had
witnessed during his lite.
BEKCHER AND GLADSTONE.
New York, June 28. A Liverpool ca
blegram says : Beecher told the co
mittee who came to him to help the
cause of Gladstone: "I have come to
England mainly for rest and recreation,
and with no purpose of taking part in the
rMitical controversy. At the same time
do not hesitate to say that I am with
Gladstone first, last, and all the time. If
I were a citizen of this kingdom I would
go into this conflict with all my heart and
soul ; bat I am restrained from it by con
siderations of delicacy. My heart goes
with Gladstone and the general princi
ples which he advocates. His direction
is right, and it seems to me every good
and hopeful man should join to promote
the success of the effort which is now so
largely centered in his bands." Beech
er. however, accepted an invitation to
seat on the platformTfiftd! despite his de-
chnation to speak, the committee were
hopeful that when the time came he
would reconsider. As they left one of
them remarked to his fellow-callers : "It
will be, all right. When we once get
Beecher on the platform it will be impos
sible for him to resist the calls that will
be made upon him by the audience. He
will have such a reception as no other
American has ever received."
The Manifesto Placarded.
London, June 28. The manifesto
of
the Count of Paris has been placarded in

THE OltKAT CAMPAIGN.
(UudHtoiie at his Iiirth-place Ileech. r
and Gladstone.
Ixjndos, June 29. Gladstone, in the
course of his speech delivered yesterday
at Liverpool, said : "It was here that I
first drew breath. I have drawn it now
7U years. The time is not distant when
I shall pay my debt to nature, and these
possibly are the last words I shall speak
in Liverpool." He Quoted from the Bal-
I lad of Chevy Chase, "The child unborn
shall rue the hunting of that day," and
exclaimed : "If idle and shallow pretexts
bewilder the mind of the people, or if
the power of wealth and rank overbear
national sense, the child unborn shall
rue the voting of that day. I entreat yon
to resolve that the civilized world shall
no longer assert that Ireland is England's
Poland, and to determine that England
shall no longer have a Poland. She has
had it long enough. Listen to prudence
courage, and honor; ring out the old
ring in the new ; ring out the notes of
memory and discord, ring in the blessed
reign of a time of peace."
BEECHEB'S MEETING WITH GLADSTONE,
Liverpool, June-29. Gladstone and
Beecher met for the first time last night,
Their mutual greeting was full of interest
to the lew on-lookers. When they came
forward together upon the platform at
the Uladstone meeting, there was a dem
onstration such as the United Kingdom
has not witnessed in any recent political
campaign. Gladstone made a masterly
address lasting more than an hour and a
half. There were then renewed and
lusty cries of "Beecher, Beecher, speech,"
but good taste forbade it, for that occa
sion at least, and Beecher made his es
cape after a struggle through the plat
form throng that insisted on shaking
hands with him. Liberal admirers of
Gladstone asked Beecher what he thought
of the premier's speech. "There is no
thing to be said about it," he replied ;
"silence is the most eloquent comment I
can make upon it."
"Jacob," said an Ohio farmer to his
hired man, the other day, "I see that
some of the railroads have adopted the
24 o'clock system, and I'm thinking of
trying it on the farm." "That is, you
want me to work twenty-four hours right
along without a stop?" "Well, Jacob,
that's the idea, but beina it's you, and,
being o;s u; a purty willing hand, you
might take out ton minite for each meal
and make it up on Sundays." Wall
