Easy Money Hard To Get Rid Of.
The stories which come from Kansas
this year are fully as astonishing as
those which came from there last year,
but they are very different. Last year
the tales were of woe. This year they
are of prosperity. One of the latest is
that a farmer recently entered the bank
at El Dorado and drew a pistol on the
cashier to compel him to accept $1,600
and hand over the mortgages on his
land. We are told that the movement
to pay Off mortgages amounts to a
mania, and the farmers are, it appears,
finding difficulty in getting their money
taken by the mortgage men. Several
of the mortgage companies, not wishing
to abandon their business, or a consid-
erable part of it, are demanding affida-
vits that money tendered in payment
of a mortgage accrued from crops actu-
ally raised on the land encumbered be.
fore they will accept the money and
grant a release. It appears that these
companies originally inserted in the
body of their mortgage forms a clause
providing that money paid on the mort-
gage should come from the land, and
this we c‘one to prevent one company
from cutting into the business of an
other by giving a farmer a sufficient
sum to refund hIS debt at the lower in-
terest 'rate held out to him. This
clause is now being used for an entire-
ly different purpose, to check the liqui—
dation craze, and while it may not be
strictly legal, afiidavits are constantly
being made by farmers to conform to
the provision.
These are pleasant tales for eastern
readers, manyof whom are, says the
Journal and Courier, hoping that the
“liquidation mania” will reach their
investments in Kansas.

Manual Labor and Professions.
The tendency of young men in this
country to embark in the learned pro-
fessions without the proper mental
equipment and with no especial apti-
tude for anything except avoiding
manual labor, is constantly on the in-
. crease; It is greatly to be deplored,
for to such failure is almost the inevit-
able result. That means ruined lives,
or an existence so soured, disgruntled
and embittered as to be without pleasure
or profit to their possessors and a tax
upon the community where their lines
are cast. And yet these same men
whose lives are eminent failures, might
have achieved splendid success in some
walk in life suited to their tastes and
talents. Indeed, it requires but a sup-
erficial degree of observation to dem-
onsterate the fact that there are in
almost any community fourth rate law-
yers who would have been excellent
auctioneers, dentisos who would have
succeeded as plumbers, physicians who
would have adorned a meat stall, and
even ministers of the Gospel who could
have produced a far better horseshoe
than a sermon.
Had they entered a calling congenial
alike to taste and talent they might
have been anhonorto themselves and
1 blessing to the community, for a man
is always that irrespective Of his occu-
pation, whenever he is a master of it.
But the trouble with these young men
is that they do not understand the dig-
nity of manual labor. They do not re-
alize that honors and fortune may be
more readily realized outside of these
so-called learned professions than in
them, and that it is just as honorable
to swing a hammer or to hold a plow
as it is to make a speech in court or
amputate a limb. Let them under-
stand, says the Philadelphia Times,
that it is not so much what a man does
for a livelihood as it is how well he
does it, and that’ manu-il labor is as
honorable as any other, and then will
the diploma factories cease to pour out
on a long suffering world their annual
horde of incapables only to be wrecked
upon the shores of their own limita-
tions,

Wednesday, being fair and the sun
sending down its warm rays, brought a
large number of delegates and visitors to
the Christian Endeavor convention at
the Armoryiwho under other weather
conditions would have remained at
home.
The morning exercises were well at-
tended, the principal address being
that of the Union’s president, Rev.
Charles Buck, D. D., of Bristol. His
subject was “ Inspirational Forces that
Sustain Enthusiasm.” A number of
other addresses were made by- eminent
clergymen.
In the evening the first number on
the program was announced for 7:30
o’clock but long before that time the
people began to gather, and by the
time the service began the immense
armory was packed to the doors, and
the ushers were obliged to turn hun-
dreds away. . The jam in the vestibule
were partly appeased by the announce-
ment that an overflow meeting would
be held in the Norwalk ‘Methodist
church commencing at 8 o’clocx. Many,
however, in their disappointment re-
turned to their homes. It‘ is estima-
ted that there were upwards vof 3,000
persons in attendance.
Rev. S. P. Cadman, D. D., of New
York, preached a most excellent ser-
mon, his subject being “The making of
a man.”
Rev. Asher Anderson, of Meriden,
chairman of the executive committee
reported favorably on a proposition to
hold the state conventions hi-ennially,
in future, instead of annually.
The meeting referred the matter
back to the executive committee, with
power. Ata meeting of the commit-
tee, the bi-ennial session plan was for-
mally approved.
The reports of the secretary showed
there were 557 societies with a total
membership of 34,080, classified as fol-
lows: 23,080 actives, 6,924 associates,

The Rev. Father Leo, pastor of St.
Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church, Win-
sted, amember of the order of Fran-
ciscan Monks, the best known Roman
Catholic priest in Connecticut, died at
11 o’clock last night. ,
Father Leo had been in Hartford
during the day and returned to Win
sted at 4:25 p. m., apparently as vigor
ous in health as usual. At quarter to
8 he was stricken with apoplexy in the
vestry of his church while at vespers.
Dr. Welch was called, but his services
were of no avail, the aged priest becom-

under the watchful eye of the Rev.
Father Leo, gained a wide reputation
as a seat of learning among the people
of the Roman Catholic faith and still
retains its well deserved name and
fame.
When the war of the rebellion broke,
out Father Leo was a young priest, an
assistant in a Roman Catholic church
either in New Haven or its vincity. He
was commissioned chaplain of the
Ninth Connecticut, an Irish regiment
the members of which organization were
nearly or quite all Roman Catholics.
Father Leo accompanied the regiment
to the front and partic1pated in the
regiment’s fortunes, returning with it
at the end of its term and being mus-
tered out of the United States service
at New Haven in the autumn of 1865.
Shortly afterwards he was assigned
to St. Joseph’s church, Winsted, and
has remained pastor of one of the larg-
est parishes in the state and the largest
in point of numbers and territory in

MYER’S MURDER TRIAL.
Policeman Smith's Slayer Identified by 7
His Daughter. i
New York. Nov. 4.—Justlce is setting E
a. rapid pace in Fritz Meyer's race to 3
death. Though it has been but seven ’
days since he so inhumanly murdered '
Fred Smith. a brave policeman, in the
discharge of his duty, 3 doom already
stares him in the face which may be
chronicled in the records of the New
York criminal courts' as the quickest
case of retribution ever meted out to a
murderer in this city.
Only four court days have so far
been occupied in bringing Meyer nearer
his deserts, and it is promised that
when another week has passed he will
have been sentenced to expiate his
crime in the electric chair.
The work of securing a jury to try
the murderer was continued yesterday
before Judge Fursman in the Criminal
branch of the Supreme Court.
Meyer has grown exceedingly nerv-
ous since his arraignment Monday. His
lips twitch continually, and whenever
the Judge speaks the murderer gazes
at him with apparent dread of his cer-
tain fate. '
Police Capt. Lees, of Brooklyn, ap-
peared in the court-room yesterday ,
with Louisa Steiger, the 20-year-old
daughter of the prisoner. She identified
her father, and was then taken from
the room.
'F‘rederick Ochs, a wealthy Brooklyn
i
weeks since, attempted to lure him to
a house on the outskirts of the city
where a daring plan had been made to
rob him of his money, and if necessary
murder him and hide his body in a
cellar in a. deserted cottage reached
only by a trap door. .

African Blood in Some of the Mont Beau»-
tiful _\Vnmen of New Orleans.
The fret that a, girl who has'neg'ro
blood in her veins graduated' with
high ho.-ors from.Vassaz' College, none
of her fellow pupils having discovered
the African strain, does not surprise
Southerners. A gentleman who was
born and raised in New Orleans
and is now living in this city, de-
clares that some of the most beautiful
women he ever saw were of partly
African descent. “Some years, 880.”
said he, “a young Northern man came
to New Orleans to spend the winter.
One night a party of us asked him if
he did not want to go to a ‘coon’ ball.
He supposed we were out for a lark
among colored people, and he agreed
to go along. We were in evening
dress and about midnight drove to a
house in the French quarter, where
we found a. ball in full blast. We in-
troduced our visitor to a number of
the guests of both sexce and he on-
joyed himself hugely. After a couple
of hours he declared that he {had never
seen so many lovely Women‘together
before. He said he was glad we had
given up our project of going to a
‘coon’ ball, as he was satisfied to re-
main where he wae. He was abso-
lutely dumbfounded when told that
every woman present had an admix-
ture of African blood in her veins, but
it was true. Those women have a. so-
ciety distinctly their own, and mix
with neither the whites nor blacks,
yet nobody could know that they are
not purely Caucasian. Some of them
are brilliantly intellectual. Our north-
ern friend fell in love with one of
them he met at the ball and married
her. Her friends in the north all

PRESIDENTS’ NICKNAMES.
They Are Always Expressive of the Char.
acterlstics of the Man.
The American people have a. genius
for nicknames. The sobriquets which
they fasten to men in the public eye,
are often remarkable for the subtle
shad-es of dislike, admiration, ridicule
or affection which they express. The
British soldier is content to refer to
to the queen as “The Widdy." The
American people have done better by
their Presidents. They have been
lavish from the first in the bestowal
of presidential nicknames, many of
which have been both picturesque
and imaginative.
There have been many phrases ap-
plied in one spirit or another to our
first President. Among them are “The
Father of His Country,” “The Cin-
cinnatus of the West,” “Flower of the
Forest,” “Atlas of America.” “Ameri-
cus Fabius” and “Stepfather of His
Country.” To Speak of “Old Hickory”
is almost as definite as to say Presi-
dent Jackson, who was also known as
“Big Knife,” “Hero of New Orleans,”
“Gin’ral” and “The Old Herof’ Van
Buren rejoiced in such names as
“Whisky Van,” “King Martin First,"
“Follower in the Footsteps” and “The
Wizard of Kinderhook.” Lincoln was
“Uncle Abe,” “Massa Linkum” and
“Father Abraham.” Johnson, who
was pitted against both houses, won
the title “Sir Veto.”—Illustrated
American.

At the battle of Chickamauga a fel- '

air and praying as lustily as ever one
of Cromwell’s rou-ndheads prayed.
The Presbyterians of 1646 prayed
loud and sang hymns in battle, but
they shot straight at the cavaliers
every time. This fellow was blazing
away at the sky, and when Lieut.
Killingworth remonstrated with him
about it he paid no attention to him
whatever. Capt. Joe Billingsley threat-
ened to cut him down with his sword
' if he didn’t shoot at the enemy, for the
woods in front were full of them. He
merely remarked to the Captain:
"You can kill me it you want to, but
[ am not going to appear before my
God with the blood of my fellow man
an my soul.”
He never fiincbed but stood square-
ly up, exposed to ry volley of the
enemy's fire." When the sun set on the

MONEY OUT OF MISFORTUNE.
‘- ibisabled Steamer Is a Great Prize to
the I’Vreokers.
Owing to the high salvage money
obtained by rendering'assistance to a
disabled ship at sea, many steamers
and sailing vessels carry on an irreg-
ular sort of wrecking business by be-
ing always on the alert for stranded
ships. A tramp steamer that could
bring a great transatlantic liner into
port in a disabled condition would re-
alize more money than its owner would
make in a trip across the sea with a
full cargo. As an illustration of what
salvage money is paid for towing
steamers into port, mention can be,
made of a. few conspicuous cases. In
1882 the City of Richmond was towed
lnzto Halifax harbor and cost her own-
ers $35,000 in salvage money. In the
same winter the City of Boston broke
her shaft at sea, and her owners were
compelled to pay a bill for towing and
other aid of $46,500. When the At-
lantic liner Paris broke down off the
Irish coast in 1890, she was towed into
port at an expense of $30,000. ' _
So rich are these prizes that the”
coast wrecking companies frequently
send powerful tugs to sea just- after
a storm in search of disabled Wis.
If a steamer is several days overdue,
the tug may go hundreds of miles off
the coast, and in this sense the compa-
nies extend their labors into new
fields practicing wrecking on the high
' seas.
When the fast Atlantic liner, New
York, made her first voyage from the
port of New York, she ran aground
off Sandy Hook, and the owners had
to pay nearly $100,000 to float her
again. One of the Red D line
steamers stuck on the Brigantine
shoals off New Jersey in 1889, and the »
wrecking company that pulled her off
received $40,000 for their services.
The more recent work of floating the
American line steamer St. Paul from
the sand off Long Branch recalls the
difficulty of hauling one of the great
transatlantic liners off a sandbar or
mudflat. Both the Chapman and
Merritt Wreck-ing companies combined
to float her, and the salvage money,
amounting to about $100,000, was di-
vided between them—George C.
Walsh in Cassier's Magazine.
A Remarkable Tlmepioce.
Japan possesses a remarkable time-
piece. It is contained in a frame three
feet wide and five feet long, represent-
ing a. noonday landscape. In the fore-
ground plum and cherry trees and
rich plants appear in bloom; in the
rear is seen a hill, from which flows
a. cascade, admirably imitated in crys-
tal. From this point a threadlike
stream meanders, encircling rocks and
islands in its windings, and finally los-
ing itself in a. stretch of woodland. In
a. miniature sky 3. golden sun turns on
silver wire, striking the hours on sil-
ver gongs as it passes. Each hour is
marked by a creeping tortoise. A bird
of exquisite plumage warbles at the '
close of the hour, and as ‘the song
ceases a. mouse sallies forth from a
neighboring grotto, and, scampering
over the hill to the garden, is soon lost
to view.
