In his earlier years Washington was a liberal buyer of lottery tickets, end many of these are preserved in the sol. lection. With them is a paper in whioh this is written in Washington's hand- writing : ' Williamsburg, 5th May, 1768. Received from the Honble William Byrd, Eeq., Twenty tickets in his lottery, to be paid for (so far as it may go) by a protested bill of exchange of his drawing on John Morton Jordon in May, 1766, for sixty-four pounds eterling." In 1772 Washington purchased six tickets in " the Delaware lottery for the sale of land belonging to the Eirl of Sterling in the provinces of New York and New Jer- sey," and tho tiokete, all signed " Stirling," are atilt preserved. History fails to say whether he wag eucoessfal in any of these ventures. A unique paper possessing remarkable interest is one of eight pages, all. is Wash. iugton's neat, careful handwriting, headed., "Negroes belonging to George Washington in His Own Bight and By Marriage." This is followed by a list containing the• Mame of every slave owned by Washington,, with his occupation and an ooaesional note eta to hie or her nsefnlness. It will be a surprise to most people to know that Washington was a very extensive slave - owner. Tho list hiss the names of 317 'slaves, and in addition he hired 40 from a Mrs. French. He had 40 slaves at IMlaraion House, 46 at Muddy Hole, 54 at the River firm, 40 at Dogna Run farm, 32 at the Union farm and others at other places. It is very apparent from the papers in this collection, and the extent of his ex- penditures, that Washington was a man of 'unusual wealth for his day. Besides rnn- aling a number of farms, he had at Mount 'Vernon a fishery and distillery, from whioh he impelled good liquor to his neighbore. Toa aoo0unts of these two establishments were kept by his secretary, Tobias Lear, in a ledger still admirably preserved, and whose paper, made by hand on the Brandy- wine and of splendid texture, is alone worth to -day 50 cents a page. .Among the items in this Iedger xs one of 219 gallons cold William Washington, the General's brother, for $127.75, and another of 29.5 Tions of " fine rectified whisky' sold to Buehrod Washington for $27.04. The ex President supplied his neighbors with good fish and whiskey, and probably made a good profit on both. Railway Notes. The new station of the Pennsylvania aailrcad at Jersey City will be the widest in the world. A French railway charges for the privi- lege of coming to the platform with friends to see them off. The Bnsk-Ivanhoe tunnel through the Baugnaohe range will be 9,350 feet long, and will cost about $1,000,000. Mail car No. 14, belonging to the Illinois Clentral Railroad, has the reputation among the employees of being haunted. The ratio of passengers killed to paseen- ere carried is, in England and on the con. ;anent, less than one-half the proportion of America. It is planned to connect Washington and Paris by a railroad running through Alaska, morose Behring strait by bridge and thence through Asia and Europe. The earnings of the Pennsylvania Rail- way system are one-half greater than 'those of the Prussian Railways, while the :number of passengers is only one-half as great. The only engine on the Maryland South- ern Railway ran off the track into a ditch last year and there wasn't sufficient money in the treasury to restore it to its former :position. The motive power is now imp - plied by two horses. Orr Two Famous Women Doctors.

Seine Deeds of Native Heroes in the park Continent. Col. Arobinard, the French oommander in the Soudan, publishee in the Pattie papers an extraordinary story of the nerotsm of one of the tribes whioh he was obliged to fight, says the New York Sun. Oaosebougou is a citadel situated in the "(auto. It is the place which enabled King Amadou to keep up his communioations between Moro and the kingdom of Segon. In foot, it was the keyto the latter kin'.' don, and, falling ino the hands of the Frenob, it secured for them the possession of that territory and won over to them the Bambarae tribes, who were oppressed by Amadou. With twenty•eeven Europeans, inoludng 265 r sTome, two mo s w nn g ,, s tarn gone of eighty, and a number of Barn - bares, Col Arobinard marched upon Quosebougon. The queer -named plane is an ` immense village in the centre of a sandy country. Its walla are well fortified with battlements and numer- ous bastions, and outside the gates there are two redoubts When the oolumn arrived in front of it the blank heads of the defenders appeared upon the walls, while the tabula, or war call, sounded continuously. Fire was opened by two guns, and in about four hours a breach was made ; bnt the defenders seemed to pare very little about that breach, and many of them oame coolly to examine it, after whioh they shouted defiantly at the invad- ers. At lest the Bambarae made a dash upon the wells, which were sitneted at about 200 meters from the village. It was absolutely necessary to get water, for the troops were suffering greatly from thirst. The defenders seemed to reserve their cartridges for this good opportunity, when they opened a tierce and rapid fire. Sev- eral of the Bambara were shot down, but the others continued to drink at the wells while the bullets whistled around them. At 4 o'clock the defenders were massed near the breach, and, notwithstanding the con- tinuous fires of musketry and artillery whioh thinned their ranks perceptibly, they seemed fully determined to continuo the struggle. The colonel gave the order to charge upon the breaob. The two guns were worked with increased activity, and ceased firing only when the column was within 100 meters of the trench. Lieut. Levaseeur, with hie Throes, was the first to enter the breach. Then the fusillade became intense. The Turcos rushed into the village, but soon their advance was °hacked. Levasasur was wounded. Four Turoos took him to the reear, and in so doing two of them were killed. Two others immediately took their places and oarried the lieutenant to the ambulance. Capt. Mangin took Levaseeur's place, and he, too, fell mortally wounded. The attacking party remained at a standstill. Not another inch could they gain upon the de- fenders. This condition of affairs' became embarrassing ; so the colonel threw all hie reserves into the attaok. The allies then became discouraged and ran. 'rhe Turbos maintained their position, bat were unable to advance. Some of the fugitives were induced to return, and the colonel gave orders for the regulars to hold at all hazards the carried positions. Capt. Bar - dot received an order to take up a posi- tion near the breach, and to fire shells into the village and the redoubt all through the night, in order to prepare the road for the movement in the morning. M. Mademba, a politioal agent of the French, and one of the most nee£al, was ehot dead. The fire of the inhabitants continued with vi:olenoe, while that of the invaders was slackened in order to spare the ammuni- tion. At. 2.30 o'clock in the morning a terrible wan cry was hoard, and the fire of the defenders became more serious. They were advancing, and at short range they made a desperate charge upon the captured positions. It was a gallant sortie, but it was repulsed. At 3 o'clock or a little after another similar charge was made, with the same result. At last the day broke. The situation was critical. The troops were exhausted, and many of the officers were wounded. However, the advance was made. The Bambaras were determined to fight hard this time. They marched coolly to the attack, and soon captured the re- doubt. The wounded among them often returned to the fight, after getting a new supply of cartridees, at their own request. The son of one of the native obiefe received two bullets in his arm. It was shattered. When it was bandaged he returned to the combat. At this point in the struggle the resistance wan ae stubborn no it was in the beginning ; but it was the last convulsion of the heroin village. The defenders of the redoubt were surrounded, hut they fought on desperately, while they shouted insults at the invaders. Their resistance was hope- less, but they still kept it np. And here, comes the moat extraordinary portion of the story. The chief of the Onosebnugone, Bandiougou Diara, realizing hie position, gathered his remaining troops ouer the magazine, and, rather than sur- render, blew himself and them to &tome. It was then only that the tabala ceased. Bat a e resistance was still kept up in the village by the stragglers. Even the women took part in it, and some of the brave bar- barians, when about to be made prisoners, shot themselves rather than be taken alive. They fought to the last man. If among the Atrioan tribes there are many more warriors like the Onosebougone there will be some tough fighting in the Dark Continent before long. Anyway, Bandiongou Diens was a hero.

GENERAL BOOTH'S > 118VIT1O. The Leader's London Cheap Food Depots. MAKING OUTCASTS I'BBL AT HOME. About three years ago General Booth established in London what is called a "ohs&p food depot," to whioh he added a "abeltor." He now has three of the former and five of the latter, and is gradually add. ing to the number. They are not charity institutions, for it is not intended to supply people who cannot pay, although the obi dere in charge have certain disoretionery powers in this respect. But food and shelter are supplied at coat. Asanexat p example, athe p food depots soup is sold' at one cent a basin, bread one cent, potatoes, cabbage,' beans, boiled rice, pudding, cup of coffee, tea or 00008, one cent eaoh mutton or corned beef is four cents ; meat pudding with potatoes, six cents. The yearly. balance sheet shows that these prices, jnet meet the cost. During the time these houses have boon established they have used at these rates 116,000 gallons of soup, 192 tons of bread, 140 tone of potatoes, 28 tons of pea flour, 12 tons each of rice, beans and onions, 5,000 pounds of tea, 1,500 pounds of ooffee and 12,000 pounds of cocoa. In other words the depots have supplied more than throe million meals. This looks like a very praotical business, and is very helpful one. At the shelters 8 cents are charged, which gives entertainment for the night and the preceding afternoon, also, if any one chooses to come so early, and et large number do, especially women. And what dove tbe applicant receive for the four. pence which has to be paid on entering ? A hard bunk in a cold shed ? Hardly. There is a large room, comfortably warmed, where they can sit and talk, or read or write. There is 8 wash house with plenty of warm and cold water, soap and towels free. Each person gets a cup' of tea, coffee or cocoa and a chunk of bread. Atter all have washed and eaten, and between 8 and 9 o'clock in the even- ing a sort of free and easy social enter- tainment is gotten up by deteohments of the Salvation Army whioh are de- tailed for the purpose, singing, 'play- ing of musical instruments, followed by a serioue addrets, prayer and a relating of experience by those who are present, all of which being adapted to the people, pro. :notes good feeling whioh, as General Booth says, infuses " a sense of brotherhood and a oonscioneness of their being no louger ontcaets and forlorn in this wide world." No one is obliged to attend these meetings. When they are over it is bed time, and the bed consists of a mattress and a leather coverlid, the mattresses being spread in a room kept at a temperature of 60 0. In the morning eaoh lodger is given a cup of tea, ooffee or 0000e and bread, and then, goes hie way. This also seems to be a very practical and useful institution, eo much better than casual wards or work'ne. It is hie experience with these refuges for the poor, and the knowledge gained of the longings of the people who come to them, that gives General Booth faith in his new and greater scheme, to which hie shelters are really the threshold. The work whioh he has done undoubtedly owes its success in a very large degree to the stringent die• oipiina of hie "army," whioh is maintained es rigidly as in an active army, and upon this same stringent system of management must depend the successful home of his wider and higher scheme. That the people of London, who have watched the progress he has made with his shelters and food depots, have faith in hie plan for enlarging hie work is illustrated by the donations of money which he has already received and by whioh he has been enabled to make a beginning. The Good Samaritan's Mistake. Denver News : A 'precocious little rascal was noticed on Jefferson avenue the other day making bis best endeavor to ring a door bell just beyond his reach. A well- known minister happened along, and with the impulses of a good Samaritan wanted to help the boy. " Like to ring that bell, sonny ?" " Yes, air ; but I can't reach it." The divine stepped to the veranda and gave the bell a vigorous pull as he patted the interesting juvenile on the bead. "Now run like the devil !" shouted the kid, as he shot down the street at top speed. All the man could do was to laugh at this deplorable bit of worldliness and make explanation when the call was an. ewered. In case of (Emergency.

HEALING BY FAITH. Strange Stories and Statements Made by a Botch Faith Durex'. THE BLIND BBB, THE 'LAME WALE, BTO Johp Alexander Dowie and :his wife, whose headquarters for the present are in Chiomgo, and who conceive they have a mon to expound "God's wa of healin g" within a radius of 500 miles otythe Prairie City, and to establish eooieties similar to the Christian Alliance in Toronto, are giving a series of 29 public leotures Association Hall, Toronto. Among the remarkable things said was that tho " gifts of healing" bestowed at Pentecost had been motored to the church, and that the leoturore had exercised them for several years. They said nothing, how- ever, about the "gift of, tongues" or the Irvingites. The following are specimens of Mr. and Mrs, Dowie's teachings : Mr. Dowie told how he had been oared by faith in Christ of chronic' dyepepaia at the age of 17, how he had thrown away the medicines of an empty.headed old pbysi. oian, who was at ices to know what to do for the sufferings of a dying boy, He had concluded that dieeese was not wrought by the hand of a loving God, but it had Dome from the devil. Then he oonsecrated himself to the heal- ing mission and bed "laid bandit " on over 14,000 persons and seen multitudes cured. This was the close of one of Mr. Dowie's addresses : " We landed in San Francisco in Jane, 1888, and since that time the blind have re- ceived their eight, the lame have walked, the dumb—yea, the dumb, who had never spoken -in a few oases, have spoken. The deaf, who have never heard, in a few oases from birth, bave heard. In numbers of oases where I have gene these people have recovered perfectly. Those who doubted God's power never healed." Mr. Dowie says : " Divine healing is diametrically opposed to the diabolioal counterfeits, Christian Science, Mind Healing, etc,, whioh are utterly anti. Christian. Theseimpostures are only seductive forme of spiritualism. Trance Evangelism is also a more recent form of this delusion and it deceives many. A Christian when overtaken with sickness should turn to God for the forgiveness of the sin which may have caused the sick. neer and for immediate healing, Canoers, be claims to have seen instantaneously re. moved. The healing has in some oases ex- tended to fractured limbs without surgical appliances." Mnoh more to the same effect he and his wife veraciously affirm. " Bring the sink to us and we will pray, and if they be God's children and have faith they shall be made whole. If there is onething the devil can't stand it is this heeling. Every boil on Jobe body was made by the devil's dirty fingers. (Laugh- ter ) "Sappose today that Jesus oame down to Toronto from a mountain lake with his handful of fishes, would he bo received into any church ? (Laughter.) Why, the churches would not receive the servant of Jeans—(Iter. Dowie)—not a church was open to him. Jesus would be 'turned out of Trinity Church and some other churches too. (Laughter.) People are getting tired of the gospel of salvation. They want the gospel of healing with salvation. " Churches tend a sickly lot of fellows to the heathen with a Bible and a medicine chest. (Laughter.) Christ can heal the leper now and His missionary can only physic the sick. Medical science he de- scribed as a screaming farce and doctors as quacks." Baseball. Manager Cnehman has re-engaged with Milwaukee for next season at an advanced salary. Ed. Stapleton, a well-known Petrolea ball player, formerly of Hamilton, recently had the misfortune to fracture a small bone in his ankle while playing with the Sacra. mento team of the California League. Pitcher Rosie, of New York, was married in Muncie, Ind., a few nights ago to Mrs. Saeie May Sloan, who a few hours before the marriage secured a divorce from her first husband, Sloan, on the ground of abandonment. Morgan Murphy has strucka rich winter snap. General " Hi Hi" Dixwell has in- vited him to go to Europe as his finest. Old Hi Eli's dollars are always at the command of the ball player he likes. The National League has decided that all players must return to tho clubs they left last year, providing the clubs desire the service of suob players. This also includes American Association players who left their clubs to go to the Players' League. How to Make Money. Chicago Tribune : " When I oame to my desk last Wednesday morning," said John Wanamaker, the Philadelphia merchant, to a correspondent of the Chicago Tribune, " I was naturally thinking abont the Christmas business in this store this year. Daring the ten days previous to Christmae our sales hovered about $100,000 a day. The grand total of the ten days falls only a few dollars ander a million. 1 spend 165,000 a week in advertising, and I pay a skilful man—a former newspaper editor, and good one—$1,000 a month to do it for me. I make money by it. Advertising is the Leverage with which this store has been raised up. I do not see how any large and successful retail business can be done with. out liberal advertising. I advertise in every issue, except those of Sunday, of every daily and weekly newspaper in Philadelphia. Continuous advertising, like continuous work, is the mdet effeotive." Cronin Murder Confession. The story that O'Sullivan, the iceman, has made a oonfeseion of the facts about the Cronin murder conspiracy is declared by most of the Chicago papers to be a fake, bat some points give it an air of proba- bility. The story is that ho claims he did not know that there was an intention to kill Cronin and that he decoyed him to the pottage simply to have him relieved of cer- tain papers that would betray Nationalist secrets to the British Government. There ii one thing that has never been satisfac- torily explained, and that is why O'Sulli- van should have worked so much in the open and furnished such damning evidence against himself as tho business card he sent to Cronin, while all the other conspirators kept in the background. If the story im. prated to hien is true that would account for it. -Buffalo News. Watch for Her.

MIR CtNmnpn CosnMoir, 77 Murray Street, N. t'.' " ONLY FORTY-SIX CENTS." Cheap Prices Due to Low Wages and " The Song of the Shirt " To-day—A Startling Coincidence. Walking leisurely up the main business street of a city the other day I eawthet the display window of is large clothing estab- lishment was entirely filled with an artistic adjuetlnent of white shirts. On a spacious cardboard was this notice, which I give verbatim : " One hundred dozen of these uulaun- dried shirts, all linen bosoms, culls and bands, at only forty-six Dente." Nothing strange about that ! To the average paseer•by, perhsps not. It might not ettroot attention, save to one in need of the article, or to a competitor in the trade. To me, however, it meant a great deal. Entering the store I saw the proprietor, and asked if those goods were a part of a eheriff's or assignee's sale, as the reason for their very low price. " No, air ; they are a regular made shirt, and come from a firat.eless house in New York." Continuing the conversation, I added : " You expect to realize something for hend. ling these goods, don't yen?" " I expeot to ; yes." "And the jobber that took your order had a margin of profits, I suppose ?" " That's what I argue." " What about the wholesaler who sold to the jobber ; doesn't he recetve something for hie trouble?" " He intends to make a living, no doubt," was the terse reply. "There'e the manufacturer ; he ie to have some share of the profits, isn't he?" " That's what be makes shirts for, I be- lieve." " Yes ; then there is the raw material, spinning, etc. ; all must be added to the original Dost. Now, how much do you suppose the girl receives that made one of those shirts ?" The merchant shrugged his shonlderq, gave me a searching look, and in a distant manner, as if he intended that he should not be misunderstood, said, " I don't know, and it is not my business." " Yes, it is," I rejoined ; " it is every- body's business. Only forty-six cents for a shirt, bosom, cuffs and bands all linen. The girl that made that shirt must soon starve, sir ; go on the streets, commit suicide or go mad. I wouldn't wear one of them if yon were to pay me for it ; my conscience wouldn't let me." Noticing a look of incredulity, not nn - mingled with scorn, I read him the follow- ing that I had only an hour before out from an eastern newspaper : " BANGOR, Me., July 27.—On the 18th instant Blanche M. Abbott, of Buoksport, eighteen miles down the river, shot her. self in this pity. She had formerly worked in a ready-made clothing factory. On the very morning that the unhappy girl shot herself a man purchased a pair of trousers at a store in Brockport, Mass, and in one of the pockets he found this note : "Bnoaeronx, Dec. 2.—I wonder into what part of the world these pants will roam, and hope that the one who boys them will send me a penny, as we have to work at starvation wages to make them. —BLANCEIE M.
