INSULTED SPEAKER CRISP BAD MANNERS OF NEW YORK REFORMERS. They invite a Gentleman lo Make asneecb aud Then Fall to Call ou Him For It What Mills Says of the Trick. Washington, Dec. 13. Speaker Crisp was down for a speech at the Reform club Saturday night, but wag not called on, though his speech has been given out to the press. The refusal to call on him seems to have been a studied insult. There is a general impression in Conj gressional circles that Mr. Cleveland and Speaker Crisp have a thorough under standing as to the tariff reform course to be pursued in the Fifty-third Con Kress, ana mat tne rresiuent-elcct was in entire ignorance of the intended slight to be placed upon Mr. Chsp, aud in his position as a guest was powerless to prevent it, even had he suspected it after looking over the program ot the evening. The members of the House were today comparing ine spcecn 01 Mr. Cleveland and the one that was intended to be de- uyeren dv Mr. crisp ana nnd therein a remarkable accord on the methods to be pursued in the reform of the tariff. Speaker crisp s speech, bad it been delivered Sat urday night, would have shown that while in the present Congress, with a Re publican Senate, he favored the tenta tive plan of separate bills, his opinion, of course, to be pursued after next March when the Democrats will control not only both brances of Congress, but the Presidency as well, is that the tariff should be revised by a general bill. It is doubtless a matter of eratifica tion to Speaker Crisp that among those wno most emphatically condemn the in hospitality of the Reform club are many members who were not even hissuivDort- ers in the famous speakership contest. Representative Cram, of Texas, who was Mr. Mills' manager during the speakership fight, said today, in speak ing of the Reform club incident; "It was an outraee not to Mr. Crisnnerson- ally, but to the Speaker of the House and to the House itself. Mr. Crisp was not invited to that dinner in anv but his official capacity. The insult was to his office and to the House. I all along have been aa anti-Crisp man, but am now for Crisp and will be from this forward." MISTAKES AND CRIMES. Who Have Matte The Former aud Who The Latter. Washington, Dec. 13. To a statement made in several Republican papers that tbe Democrats are afraid to revise the tariff, Senator Vnorhees says: "The Democratic party can be depended upon to do two things remove the unjust burdens of taxation from the necessaries of life, and provide the necessary revenues for the government. The Republicans are prone to talk ot our mistakes. We may have made mistakes, but theirs have been crimes. If we were tvros in the science of government, we would not do worse than they, but we will give the people relief from the burdens with which they have been ODiircssed since the Re- publicans came iuto power. The vote of the people at the recent election shows wherein they put their confidence, and that confidence will not be misplaced." BUFFALO'S GIRI. BURGLAR. She Is Onlv 15 aud Confesses lo Fonr Burglaries. Buffalo, Dec, lO.-Clara Lewis, the girl burglar.ftas been tried, convicted, and sentenced to the State Industrial hool at Rochester. Though caught in the act of looting a house into which ghe had forced an entrance, she may be discharged from confinement in about two years if she earns a record for good behavior. This mild punishment was meted out in consideration of her youth. She is only 15 years of age. While incus tody of the police some confessions were wormed out of her.which, had they been divulged in the court room, might have altered the Judge's opinion ol the girl's innocence, instead ol this being her first offence, she confessed to the dctcc tives that it was her fourth. N. Y. .Sun. UNDERESTIMATED. The World's Fair Has Already Cost Twelve Millions. Chicago, Dec. 13.-More money has already been paid out in creating the World's Fair than the directors thought would be necessary to complete it when Congress voted to send the exposition to Chicago. Ten million dollars was thought to be the limit then. Auditor Ackerman's report shows that the ex penditures to December 1 have been $12,460,238 61. The receipts have been $13,229,451.08. The available balance on hand December 1 was $636,0CS.33, about enough to last two weeks at the present rate of expenditures, but the souvenir coins are coming soon and the directors have nearly $2,000,000 yet iu exposition bonds from which no capital iiuj uccn rcceivca. It Will be a Great Sight. Washington, Dec. 13. Speaking of the naval review, Mr. Tracy says : "The Department for some time past has been engaged in preparations for tbe icview and the date of April 26, 1393, has been fixed for the rendezvous at Hampton Roads. Invitations to take part have been sent to all the maritime nations. The number ol answers thus far received indicates that the review will be by far the most important assemblage of naval vessels wbicb has ever taken place in the waters of America." ; The Mavbrlck Case. London, Dec. 13. In response to rep resentations of the United states gov ernment, the British government has in- lormeatne united States legation that it is not true that Mrs. Mavhrirk'. .ven dition is critical or threatens to become 10.

The audience at the Southern Business college last evening started out with the evident intention of givingevcry member ol the Ilelle ISotsford Concert company an encore. 1 lie performers tried to ward it off by coming to the door and simply bowing their acknowledgments of tbe applause, but the people would nave none ot that. The small part of Ashevillc that was on hand was music hungry and insisted verv stroimlv in doubling the proirnim. The hull of the college, while much too large for the audience, was smaller than a perfect enjoyment ol the music would have dictated. In many instances the volume of sound was so much larger man me room that tlie ettect drowned much of the harmonv. Taken dlto. gether, though, the conceit was a treat. Miss balomc Thomas, an old friend of Ashevillc music lovers saiur solo after solo in response to the imperative ap plause ol the audience. Her voice is n rich soprano, wonderfully clear and sweet, and she had it in perfect control, modulating it to suit the size of the ha!l with little apparent effort. Miss Thomas was equally at home in Von Lennex's "Spanich lialero" and in that everyday song" I once had a dear little doll, dears" or "Coming through the Kvc." Miss Kotstonl's violin seemed to be a part of her nature, so gently, and yet so powcrlully did she handle the bow. Added to this was a delightfully unaf fected stage manner, and the combina tion quite won heraudience. Miss liots tord plavs with great sweetness of touch and was recalled each time. Miss Grace Bullock, with her less popular instru ment, the violincello, had two solos, and what surprised the audience, was that she was able to bring so much music as she did from the heavy strings. It was a marvel of melody, showing exceeding skill, and Miss Bullock was applauded in a way that must have been gratifying. Mr. David L,ythgoc s strong baritone voice was not shown to the best advan tage because of the size of the room, but its richness and melody were highly pleasing. In the duct with Miss Thomas he was more fortunate than in anyothcr number, the two voices blending with splendid effect and calling (orth an encore. Mr. Gilder made friends of the audience at the start bv his piano solo, although he stopped in the middle of it and looked around to see who was doing so much talking. This had the effect of bringing on a silence that could be felt. Mr. Gilder rendered a selection of his own composition and showed great taniiliar ity with the keys. He was accompanist for the vocalists and violinists. LITTLE MADIHONIAN. Melvlu Davis, j Feel 8 Inches Tall and Weighs 83 r-ouuds. Ashevillc today had a visitor who at tracted a great dial of attention from the people on the street. The visitor's name is Mclvin Davis, and the young man (he is 18 ycnrsoldl lives in Madison county, not far from Marshall. Davis' size is what caught the eye of the crowds. He stands 3 feet K inches in his stockings, .nd weighs 85 pounds. He responded roadily to all questions about himself, until the questions had become monotonous, and then walked away with the air of a man who hail come to the city on most important business. A CHAPTER ON WEATHER. Ashevllle Bids Everybody Come Here and Partake. In reading the daily accounts ol bad weather in the North and Northwest it is consoling to the Ashcvillian to reflect that this place has been for weeks en joying as bnc weather as heart could wish. The days are, almost without exception, beaulilul, clear and crisp, in fact just such days as would gladden the healthscekcr and those who wish to escape the rigors of a colder climate. Ashevillc's doors are open, and I'rovi dence smiles on her, and the people of nil sections are invited to come nnd partake of the bounties of the climate. Millions For Defense. Washington, Dec. 13. Mr. Outh waite, of Ohio, Chairman of the House committee on military affairs, in his re port on next year's army appropriation bill, says it carries an appropriation ol" $24,202,73!!, being $85,760 less than the amount appropriated for the current year, and $1,720,215 less than the esti mates submitted. A Horrible Death. Chicago, Dec. 13. Charles Chanter, a botanist, who was engaged in the borticultuial department of the World's Fair, met w ith a frightful death iu the Masonic Temple. He fell from the fifteenth story to the basement, his body being mangled almost beyond recogni tion. Tomorrow the opening will begin at Lindsey & Brown's Art Fnrlors, South Court Mace.

Crawtvrd: WANTS TO MARRY. A Request it Seems too Had to Refuse. Washington, Dec. 13. The Secretary of the Interior has received a letter ad dressed "Untie Sam," aud its contents provoked much amusement. The cor respondent was a widow from a little town in Ohio. She said she had lived a widow for thirtv vears. and at her aa-e found it too lonely. Therefore, she asked wlicthcr he would not nut a n ank into her pension certificate that would enable her and any other widow who had lived single since 1802 to marry, and at the same time to keep her pension. She added that she was too old, plain, and poor to get a man able to siiDDort her as well as her pension could, and conse quently must take such as she could get. aue concluded by asking that the Secre tary give the matter prompt attention, under the threat that she will "weary him with many more such" it he does not.
