'Depew Praises the Dead Hero and the Monitor Miaiitonomoh Fire a Salute. 17 New York, April 27. At 2 p. m. today President Harrison laid the cornerstone of the Grant monument in Riverside park in the presence of thousands of interested spectators. The exercises, which were sim ple, were opened with music by the United States band from Governor's island. When the president and his party arrived the band played "Hail to the Chief." Accempanying President Harrison were Postmaster Gen eral Wanamaker, Secretaries Noble and Rusk, Assistant Secretary of the Interior Bussey, Major General -cofield and Lien tenants Parker and Andrews. After the band had rendered several national airs Rev. Dr. John Hall delivered a prayer, in which were many references to the dead hero who was to be so lovingly remembered. The Cornerstone Laid. Following the prayer was an address by General Horace Porter, who is president of the Grant Monument association. Then President Harrison, using a gold trowel, laid the cornerstone of the monument. The stone itself is of flawless granite from the coast of Maine. After the corner stone was laid 1,500 schoolboys marched by the tomb and scattered flowers upon the casket. A'copper box 0 by 10 inches square and 10 inches deep was placed inside the stone. It contained the following articles: Copies of the constitution of the United States, Declaration of Independence and ar ticles of confederation, bound in one book. A copy of the Bible printed by the American Bible society. 'Personal Memoirs of General Ulysses S. Grant," in two volumes. A copy of Memorial Day pamphlet, May 30 and HI, 1888, containing, among other things, a list of contributors of flowers, prayer by Rev. R. S. Storrs and address by General John A. Logan. A copy of Mayor Grant's proclamation, dated April S, 1K32, to the citizens of New York. A new American flag of silk.

Dr. Depew'g Address. Following the address of the president came the oration of Hon. Chauncey M. De pew, who spoke with more than his wonted eloquence. Both the address of the presi dent and that of Mr. Depew were listened to with interest by as many of the vast throng as could get within earshot of the speakers. Then Dr. Hall pronounced the benediction, the turreted monitor Mian tonomoh fired twenty-one guns, and the ceremonies camo to an end. The presi dential party returned to Washington im mediately after the conclusion of the cere monies. The military parade was not as large as was at first expected, as the First brigade was not ordered out by Governor Flower. The Grand Army of the Republic was rep resented by 3,000 men. The parade started at 12:30 sharp from Madison square. Troop A, N. G. S. N. Y Captain "C. F. Roe commanding, formed in front of the Fifth Avenue hotel. President Harrison then left the hotel, accompanied by Secretary Elkins, Secretary Rusk, Secre tary Foster and Postmaster General Wana maker. He rode in an open landau drawn by four horses. Following them came open carriages, con taining the only four generals now living who commanded corps during the war General Schofield, now in command of the army; General O. O. Howard, General Granville N. Dodge and General H. W. Slocum. Then came the committee of ar rangements in carriages and invited guests, including the mayors and members of the city governments of New York and Brook lyn, the representatives of New York in congress, members of the state legislature and heads of the various city departments. Troop A, after saluting the president, wheeled into column, four platoons preced ing the president's carriage and three pla toons forming in the rear of the carriages. Comrades of the Union Veteran Legion en campments fell in behind Troop A. - The line of march was up Fifth avenue to Fil't.'-seventh street, to Broadway, to Seventy-second street, to Riverside drive and thenae to t'ae tomb. Upon arriving the president was received by three companies of rt-truiar troops from Governor's island and t wo comfJanies of marines and sailors from the Brooklyn navy yard. A Woman's Game of Conversation. "The women at our boarding house have taken up a little game," said a New York wife the oilier day, "from which they derive considerable amusement. Tin- men at our house I am sorry to say are not very entertaining. Our husbands are deeply engri issed in business and are generally too tired when they come home to dinner to engage in small talk wiuioui a manliest enort. There are two or three unmarried men who are talkative enough, often too talkative in fact, but their conversation is not half as entertaining to us' as it ia to them selves. "bo six of us hit on this plan: "Wo gather in the parlor before going down to dinner, and thero we agree upon some well known provero or familiar quota tion. Our object is to bring the conver sation of these talkative young fellows ' around to a point where we can intro duce this quotation appropriately. "Whoever succeeds in getting off the quotation first is the winner, and when each tries to win she also tries to head off the others, if. she sees an opportunity coming. It is rare sport and affords us plenty of fun. To drag the quotation in badly, inappropriately, does not count, it must come in aptly so as not to excite the suspicions of these youths that we are playing with them instead of at them, as they fondly imagine. Take, for in stance, the quotation: 'A primrose by the river's brim, a simple primrose was to him, and it was nothing more,' and try to bring around to that connection the conversation of a young man which begins with 'shop,' takes a flight into flirtation, and ends with the theaters or horses. "It takes some ingenuity, I tell yon, and tho little mystery underlying all onr remarks, which is known only to our selves, gives the game additional inter est for a woman, of course." New York Tribune. Miners Fatally Injured. Ashland, Pa., April 29. An explosion of gas occurred at Green Ridge mine, fatally iuj uriug John Waradick and Joseph Makin. - FIFTY-SECOND CONGRESS. The Houses Overides the Election Com mittee in the Rockwell Case. Washington, April 19. The senate passed the two oourt Mils laid over from Thursday, and spent most of the remainder of the day in executive session over the modus vivendl in Behring sea and other matters. The session of the house was without interest or incident, the entire day being devoted to the considera tion of the naval appropriation bill, which wm finnJlv nassed as it came from the com mittee, with the exception of the dry dock at Algiers (La.), which was stricken out on a point of order. This afternoon the contested tlection case of Noyes vs. Rockwell comes up. Washington, April 80. The feature of the open session of the senate was the short but spirited debate on an Arizona funding bill which by indirection brought up the sil ver question and resulted in a yea and nay vote on the question of striking out the words "gold coin" and inserting "lawful money of the United States" in the interest bearing provision of the bill. This amend ment .was carried by 28 to 24, but Mr. Gray (Del.), who voted in the negative, took occa sion to deny that the vote had any bearing on the free coinage question. Mr. Palmer (Ills.), who voted the same way, explained that he did so in recognition of the right of Arizona to manage her own affairs In her own way and to pay in gold If she wanted to. Mr. Hill N. Y.) voted for the amendment without com ment. In executive session the Behring sea modus Vivendi was ratified. The house passed a resolution to vacate the order of general "leave to print" to members who desired to submit remarks on the tariff and silver ques tions. A resolution was also adopted author izing the civil service committee to investi gate the alleged violation of the civil service law by certain officials in Baltimore. The re mainder of the session was devoted to the con sideration of the contested election cases of Noyes vs. Rockwell, from the Twenty-eighth district of New York. Washington, April 21. Mr. Teller's anti administration free silver speech 'n the sen ate created even more of a sensation than that of his colleague, Mr. Wolcott, upon the same subject. Mr. Teller's statement that if the Republican party continued to adhere to the single gold standard the four chief silver producing states, Colorada, Nevada, Idaho and Montana, would not after this be able to co-operate with the Republican party either in the senate or elsewhere was concurred in by Mr. Sanders, of Montana. Another strik ing incident of the dav was the announcement from Mr. Sherman, chairman of the commit tee on foreign relations, that he was In error in supposing that the existing Chinese re striction law expired by limitation on May 6 next. It was now discovered that it runs till July, 18M. The obvious result of this discovery will be that no present action on the Chinese question will be pressed in the senate. The house devoted its entire session to a continua tion of the Noyes-Rock well contested election case. Washington, April 22. The Chinese ques tion proved as irrepressible as the silver ques tion in the senate, notwithstanding the opin ion of the foreign relations committee that ex isting laws remain in force till 1891. A general Chinese debate, characterized by a vigorous onslaught on the Geary house bill by Mr. Sher man, was entered upon and remained the un finished business. An ineffectual attempt was made to arrive at an agreement to take a vote on the question at 5 o'clock this afternoon. The Rockwell-Noyes contested election case occu pied the entire time of the house, the debate being exceedingly dry, and but little attention was paid to it. The majority of the members occupied their time in chatting and smoking in the foyer and cloak rooms. Washington, April 23. Chinese exclusion occupied the senate all day after the morning hour, and at adjournment was apparently good for two or more days further discussion, An extraoruinary reature or tne aebate was the introduction by Mr. Davis (Minn.) of an attack on tha papal hierarchy, the German ambassador at Rome and the Austrian roj al family, for alleged attempted interference with Catholic immigrants in the United States. During the morning bour the senate, without a division, adopted an amendment to axirivate pension bill increasing the pension of all helpless Mexican soldiers from $8 to $12 per month. After a four hours' debate on the Noyes-Rock well contest the house decided to retain Mr. Rockwell in his seat. The principal speeches of the day were made by Mr. Fellows (N. Y.) and Mr. Cockran (N.Y.), who spoke for Mr. Rockwell. Mr. O'FerriHl (Va.) made an earnest appeal for Mr. Noyes, the contestant At times the scenes were dramatic, and i here was considerable confusion. On the H ion that Mr. Noyes was not entitled to the sen: the vote resulted 140 to 98, rnd on the resolution that Rockwell was elected, 128 to 106. Probably a Murder. Philadelphia, April 23. A desperate riot, which may result fatally to at least one woman, occurred in an unsavory thoroughfare known as Mint court, run ning on JMghth street, near Race street One woman, Annie McDevitt, of 810 Mint court, was so seriously cut and stabbed about the head and face that the physicians of the Hahnemann hos pital, where she was taken, said immedi ately that she could not live. Her as sailant, Jerry McNally, aged 29 years living at oz m tne same court, was ar rested and locked up in the Sixth dis trict station house. Lizzie Niell and Rosie Maginn, both of Mint court, were quite severely cut and slashed about the arms, 1 be light arose from a quarrel over a game or crap. The Internationtl Silver Congress "Washington, April 23. The national silver committee, at its meeting y ester day, decided to call a national metallic convention, to meet in this city on Thurs- aay, may zo. lewa. me formal call which will be accompanied by a brief ad dress, will oe issued this evening. While it is an open secret that the president is endeavoring to secure an international conference on the silver question the closest reticence in regard to the whole subject is maintained at the White House and the state and treasury departments. It is understood that the president has practically completed ar rangements for such a conference, to be held early next summer, and that invita tions will be issued within a few weeks Murder at a Wedding. LiOuisa, Ky., April 23. At a wed ding Henry Davis, an uninvited boy 19 years old, walked into the house and without provocation ox warning struck ioan ivieau, agea zi, m the temple with a knife. Mean was sittiTur in a -v.a,'- but raised up and knocked Davis down with his fist. A scuffle followed, and while on the floor Davis stabbed Mead in the heart. Mead died immediately, Davis fled. The wedding halted a while Dut was continued after the excitement was over. The trouble was an old feud, Three Killed Under a Wall. Jonesboro, Tenn, April 23. Seven men were building a wall in the court house. On account of poor mortar the wall fell, burying five of the men. Bruce Estridge, Grant May and Joseph H. Wil son were taken out dead, and Eli Moore and Moore Snodgrass were fatally hurt. Two other men were seriously hurt by jumping from the wall.

Newspaper Women Recognized. At the recent dinner of the Institute of Journalists, to which women were invited, some very nice things were said of the sisters of the press by such authorities as George Augustus Sala, the lord mayor, and the eminent law yer, Sir Charles Russell the latter expressing the hope that he might one day address a lady president of the in sulate. j.ms recognition of newsmmr women in conservative England bv ren- resentative newspaper men is worthv of . m record.

The Arrested Invaders Now Fort Russell. at DUMING'S REMARKABLE STORY, He Claims That He Was Hired by the Secretary of the State Stock Commission to Kill Rustlers at the Rate of Six Dollars a Day and Fifty Dollars a Head. Douglass, Wyo., April 23. The cap tured cattlemen arrived at Fort Russell this morning. The trip has been a hard one on both captives and escort, a se vere snow storm setting in on the first day out, and for three days the expedi tion faced a blinding sleet and drifting snow. The escort guard comprised three companies, one of which marched in front, one in the rear, and the other divided and marching on either flank. The captives occupied three wagons in the centre of the cavalcade. At various points along the route armed men were seen, and on several oc casions cowboys shipped up, and with six shooters in their hip pockets held consul tation with some of tne captives, but not a shot was fired and no symptoms of hostility were manifested anywhere. The captive cattlemen have not yet been in it.e uaifelR of the civil authorities even tneoreticaiiy. .Uepuvy Jsheiiii Roles is witn tne aetaenment, ana tne nrsi judicial steps in what promises to he a lengthy and expensive, as well as famous, legal war, will probably be instituted at once, now that the invaders are safely out of danger from the rustlers. Excite ment in Johnson county is dying out. and the small ranchmen are returning to their homes. Cheyenne, Wy., April 23. A C. Dunning, one of the party of regulators at the 1. A. ranch, who concealed him self and escaped, is in jail at Buffalo. He was arrested on suspicion by the sheriff after having been kicked and cuffed about the streets of Buffalo as one of the invading army. He states that he was hired by the secretary of the state stock commission. Dunning had a letter in his pocked directed to an Idaho friend, in which he disclosed the plan for exter minating the rustlers. The letter is now in the possession of the sheriff, with a lot of other evidence. Dunning says that Champion and Ray had been warned, and would not have been killed if they had heeded the warning. The hired as sassins, he says, were to get $6 a day and $50 apiece for every man killed. One result of the trouble brought about by the cattle war is the probable dismemberment of the Wyoming State militia. The officers of Companies D and E, of Rock Springs and Green River, have turned in their resignations, and others are expected. Under the Wyom ing law, in the absence of the governor, the sheriff may call on the troops for aid. The governor issued an order to the captain of each company, command ing them to obey orders' only from the adjutant general. This the officers con struct as an insinuation that they sym pathized with the rustlers, and have re signed. Lieutenant Colonel Christmas writes that it is an insult that no plausi ble apology can remove. RAIDING THE ANARCHISTS. Wholesale Arrests by Order of the French Oovei ment. Paris, April 23. Notwithstanding the fact that a number of leading anarchists are in jail and others have been driven from the country, those at liberty are still active and hold secret meetings. Yesterday a number -of gendarmes, de tailed for the purpose, made a descent upon the houses where the anarchists lived and captured forty-five men, who were at once taken to the prefecture and afterward locked up. Four more anarchists were arrested last night. It is said to be the intention of the minister of the interior to continue these arrests until every avowed anarch ist in the city is under lock and key. Lists of suspects, hitherto not molested, have been placed in the hands of a pre fect , an J the houses of all will be searched within the next five days. Anything in a house indicating direct or indirect co operation on the part of the occupants with the plans for disturbances on May day will result in immediate arrest and incarceration until May 3. In the provinces similar orders from the government are being enforced with great severity. In all the larger cities house searches have been made. In Lyons seventy-three anarchists were ar rested. A printing establishment in which were bundles of incendiary pamphlets was seized and the forms were broken. In each pamphlet was a lurid placard headed "Advice for the first of May." Arrests have been mads also in St. Etienne, Chsiuont, Lille and other cities. The total number of anarchists incarcerated yesterday is 145, according to the information now at hand. In Ar gentil four men were arrested at work at the presses in a cellar, and the office was sealed up. On one were found plans for destroying with dynamite on May Day the town hall, the principal church and the commissariat. Idle Women. A recent trial of a young man in New York for the murder of his wife was marked by one peculiar feature. Many of the details of the evidence were too gross and horrible for any womanly woman to wish to read, even in the privacy of her chamber. Yet the courtroom was crowded with women not of the criminal class, but of wealth and education, who listened to every word given by witnesses or lawyers with keen interest. It is becoming the custom in large cities a very bad custom, which has long been followed in England and France for women of this class to fre quent courts whenever a sensational criminal trial is going on, no matter how tragic or questionable, the circum stances revealed may be. So peculiar a movement in social life demands some investigation. We do not believe that it is caused by any immoral tendencies in these women. Licentious books do not circulate among educated American women, and they certainly have betrayed no murderous proclivi ties. There is no country in the world in which affection, modesty and mutual respect are found more dominant in the home life than here. How can we account, then, for this morbid, unclean taste in matrons and young girls whose own lives are inno cent? A shrewd observer of human nature says, "The shortest road for a woman to Vice is by a monotonous or an idle life." This aphorism explains as well why foreign princes take to gambling for pastime, and why those titled ladies of Great Britain who seek only a diversion flock to the high court of justice, as it explains why American women are be ginning to do the same thing. Youth's Companion. Seven Men Blown to Pieces, Newark, N. J., April 19. The works of the American Forcite Powder Co., a short distance from the landing station at Lake Hoptacong, on the Morris and Lssex railway, blew up late yesterday afternoon, and seven men were blown to atoms. The killed are : J. D. Smith, superintendent of the works; Jacob Carlson, William Pierce, James Vagh, A. Johnson, Godfrey Water and anun known Swede.' Besides these, two men were injured. One of them, Benjamin Cassimore, will probably die. Protestant Clergymen Protest. Trot, N. Y., April 28. -The Protestant clergymen of this city have addressed an open letter to the board of school commis sioners protesting against the recent re moval of twenty-one Protestant teachers employed in the schools and the appoint ment of Catholics in their place. A LOVE SPAT. The Temporary Threatening Clouds of True Love Dispelled. "It'll no dae, Marget; I tell ye, it'll no dae. Pine I ken ye dinna think as muckle o me noo, as when ye pit yer heid on my shouther an tellt me ye were a' my aim' "Man, Lachie, what's wrang wi' ye? I'm share I dae my best to please ye and mak ye comfortable." "To please me! Is that a' that a wife's guid for? 1 tell ye, Marget, as I've often tellt ye wi' the tear in my e'e, I'll tak' ludgin's, an then ye'll tin' the want o' the watter when the waal rins dry. Dae ye think I marrit ye only that ye would please me an mak' me comfortable?" "What mair dae ye want, Lachie?" "Oh, wumman, did ye no talk poetry to me, an cry that ye lo'ed me mair than tongue could tell? And did I no say, 'Mareet. 1 feel like Burns when he wrote o' his ain dearie To see her was to love her. An love but her forever? 'Noo, answer me that, Marget." "Weel. dae ye no feel like Burns noo?" "Aye; but 1 dinna think you feel like Burns' lass that he spoke aboot. Man, wumman, I w'd gi'e onything to see you pittin on yon nice bit lovin smile ye had when 1 askit ye if ye wid like a pie or a tairt, an ye said ye wid jist tak' a few broth. Oh, Marget, it was the beauti ful, heavenly shape o'-yer mou' when ye said that wee word that went fair to my heart." "But, Lachie, ye ken fine coortship is clean different frae marriage." "Why should it be, Marget? 1 wud like to ken what mak's yon think that a wumman should be like a turtle dove, cooin awa' as sweet as honey, an the minute she's married turn as soor as vinegar in the mou'." "Come, come, Lachie, ye ken as weel as I dae that 1 have never been soor to you, and if ye dinna tak' me as 1 am ye maun jist leave me. My certis, 1 wid like to see you in ludgin's for a week. It wad mak' ye think mair o' 3-er ain haine, with its cozy fire-en and a' the comforts that a sair. handen-doon wife can O-o-o-o!" "Whisht, Marget, my wumman. Din na greet like that. There's a guid lass. Man, 1 was only jokin, Marget. I'm savin, whaur was that shop ye were talking aboot wi' the tine bonnet in the window? 1 say, Marget, dinna greet like that, my lass; was it the Trongate ye said? Here, noo, get on yer things and we'll gang awa, and see't." "Oh, Lachie, ye're an awfu' yin, but, faigs, I lo'e ye weel." -"Eh, what's that Marget? Come awa', then, and as true's onything I'll buy ye that bonnet. But mind ye, nae mair soor plooms for me. Ye mannna throw yer mou' into an ill natur'd grin, for it'll no dae, Marget; 1 tell ye it'll no dae." Glasgow Bailie. Arrested for Working. Justice William Watson aroused the attaches of the Lee avenue police court one morning recently from their wonted lethargy by the vigorous use of the gavel, and then fairly paralyzed them by the offhand, decisive manner in which be administered the law. A trembling Hebrew was arraigned for peddling without a license. "Why didn't you procure a license?" asked the magistrate. "I have no money and I want to make an honest living," said the man. "Why did you arrest a man for trying to make an honest living?" asked the court ab ruptly of the officer. "It's not my fault, judge; it's against the law to peddle without a license." replied the police man timidly. "Yes, yes," said the court; "this man was starving and he tried to make an honest . living and i3 arrested. If he stole he would be arrested also. Re jean go." The policeman looked at the magistrate in astonishment and hur riedly made his exit from the courtroom. Brooklyn Eagle. Bogus Select Circles. Then there are the bogus circles of al leged select people. There are a dozen" in town made up of stupid people of wealth, or of so called geniuses, who are a little shady of reputation, and who sur round themselves with poets, poetesses, palm reader, actors, opera singers, ad venturero and authors. These are the sets that feed the cheap newspapers with ac counts of the doings of high society. 1 1 is in these so called "salons" of the Countess This and the Baroness So-and-so that are started stories of movements to discard corsets and to band against the mar riage of American girls with foreign no blemen. It is from such salons that we get news of the general wearing of black silk underclothing and the universal smoking of cigarettes by ladies. These are not "shoddy" circles. They are worse. They are disreputable. New York Letter. Where Io Studions Men Come In? 1 was told recently by a prominent baseball man of Harvard of the various degress of standing that the members of the different sporting clubs of Harvard have in society, both in .Boston and Cam bridge. If a man is a member of the crew, that will give him an entree into the very highest social circles. They are looked upon as the choice few. Then the football eleven comes nest. They are not considered of quite so high a so cial standing as is the crew. Then the baseball men come last. Of course the latter enjoy high social distinction, bat they are not admitted to the very select circle. This seems like a regular feudal lystem. Boston Record. An Infamy. All my life I've heard that women can not keep secrets; all my life I"ve known this popular opinion to be false because I've kept many secrets and other women of my acquaintance have done the same It never occurred to me to doubt the in -f alibility of masculine honor in this re spect until recent events forced upon me the conviction that so called gentle men can descend into slums that none but the most abandoned ofmy sex would approach. I refer, of course, to the sale of a confidential correspondence by which the world has been invited to contemplate a scandal that would have remained unknown. No good is done by its publication; infinite harm is done to a woman and her innocent children. That there should live an American low enough to barter his own infamy and thereby betray the weakness of a woman whom he has pretended to love! So base an act becomes a crime for which there is no name. Such moral lepers should be shunned by every man and woman pos sessed of one atom of self respect. If women in society receive the worst of criminals they are lost indeed to all sense of decent dignity. Kate Field's Washington. An Eloper Under Arrest. Ran Bans, N. J., April lift ftlmrn Parker, a picture canvasser, was -held for trial on a charge of living unlawfully with Mrs. Annie C. Butler, with whom he eloped from Port Jervis. Stanley iin Politics. London, April SSJ.-s-Mr. Henry M. Stanley has consented to stand as a candidate in the Unionist interest for a seat in parliament at the general election. Tbe Burglars Got Five Hundred Dollars. Newark, N. J., April 29. Burglars broke into the residence of A. Eeenath, 167 Bar clay street, this city, and stole $500 worth of iewelrv. Is the Regular Subscsiption Price of The Wilson Advance.
