, CcAo, May 9.-There are many
-queer people i ~Chicago, and it is possi
a t ev aiat mnnre attention, than
they otherwise would because they are
not restrained in any way. "Everything
e'G*iu -thia eivE 'mere the 'idea of
'merican.liberty'is .ilu'trated in its
fullest sense. Chicago is third among
the cities of the United States in the
iirtter of churches, and yet she has a
larger number of free thinkers than any
ocher Ametican city except New York.
Chicago is-not, -strictly speaking, an
American city, though American thrift
and enterprise have built her up. Fifty

This same sunday there was also a
meeting of the "Arbeiter Bildungs Ve

e, or rather in another hall in the
'lia 'building. .The object of the
-nemetitt was. to discuss the marriage
'question. A lecture on . "Is Marriage a
Failure?" was delivered by the secretary
of the Arbeiter Bund, that famous so
ciety the' police tried to suppress, but
which the courts protgected.
The text-wes-to the effect that mar
~~ewas a failure, and the lecturer's
~hearers agreed with him. Marriage un
der the present system was certainly a
failure, it was agreed, and the only
remedy was its total abolition. The
race was dying out. His remarks re

ATHEIsTIC SUNDAY SCHOOLS.
There is throughout the city a number
of so-called "Sunday schools," the doc
trine taught in which is that all religion
is either superstition or fanaticism, and
'should be abolished. 'These should not
be confounded with the anarchist Sun

BROTHEBS ONE AND ALL.
Governor Rinhardson's Telling Speech at
the Dinner of the New York Southern
Society.
The'New-York Mail and Express of
Monday prints the various eloquent
speee es delivered last week at the din
ner given by' the Southern Society to
Vice President Mortpn gud the Govern
orjd veril Statestwb9 were in New
York. -Comienting thereon, The Mail
and Express, says: . .
"Stithe'rn 'men- and -'Northern men
alike will agree in saying that the
speeches of these Governors and of the
gifted Henry W. Grady were remarkable
displays of the development of born and
trained orators under the stimulus of an
occasion when a continental, unsec
tional, unpartisan patriotism pervaded
the very atmosphere of this centennial
cnsedrated town and gave to our visit
ing Governors from the South a splendid
opportunity for showing the noblest and
best there was in them. Again we con
gratulate the South on the bearing, the
eloquent talk, the patriotic sentiments
of the Governors, who won the hearts of
our people, and in turn opened their
hefrts 'in fraternally patriotic expres
sions."
Governor Richardson spoke as fol
lows:
Mr.-President, my friends of the New
York Southern Society, and also -my
fellow citizens of New York and our
sister States, who are present to-night:
The lateness of the hour reminds me
of the impossibility of my responding to
your sentiments by any long remarks
upon an occasion like this; but at the
same time, as my friend has said, in a
State that is to me as my mother, and
when my mother's name is mentioned,
from my earliest boyhood and tottering
steps, l'have been taught always to do
my duty to her,'and never upon any oc
casion, in peace or in war, to be untrue
fo the responstbility that may be cast
upon me.
My friends, we of South Carolina, as
you know, have always been a proud
people, and thank God for it. We are
proud yet. We are proud, not, my
friends, of great prosperity, for we have
it not; we are not proud, my friends, of
great amassed wealth, because that is
not durs;*nor aie we peculiarly proud
of honorssthat have been cast upon us,
for they have not been; but there is one
thing we can say, and I must say that
for the State that I have the distin
guished honor to represent upon this
grandest event in American history,
that never upon any occasion in the his
tory of this country has that State fal
tered in its- discharge oE wh4 she has
believed to- be her duty. [Loud -ap
plause.]
We may have been wrong, God alone
knows; and it wauld seem to us just now
as if His decision had pronounced us
so; but, my friends, be that as it may,
and.be the. subseqnent verdict of history
upon our cause and our conduct what it
may, we at least have this conscious
ness, and God knows it, that all our acts
and the acts of the State from its earli
est history, as every one knows who has
studied American history, have been an
unceasing and unwavering defense of
human rights and constitutional govern
ment. And I see some citizens of Mas
sachusetts here. Can they not remem
ber when the tea was cast overboard in
Boston harbor, how the people of Caro
ina responded to that patriotic act?
Were these things forgotten? For what
cause had Carolina to complain of the
mother country? She had none. Can
they forget that when the people laid
down their lives, their property and
their sacred honors in the scale; can the
people of her sister States--can Massa
chusetts, New York, Vermont, New
Hampshire and Connecticut, and all the
other glorious and lovely sisters, - forget
that wben Sir Peter Parker's fleet at
tempted to elter the city of Charleston,
to overthrow the American government,
American lands and American country,
that it was the well-known palmetto logs,
nd behind them the stout hearts of
Moultrie and Jasper and his Carolinians
fought it and sent it back like a Spanish
Armada from the British shores. [Ap
plause.] My friends, in the darkest his
tory of the Revolution, when New York
had beer surrendered, when Washing
on-'asiat Valley Forge;ecan you, my fel
low-itizehs and fellow-countrymen from
Massachusetts and Maine, forget that
even in that dark and darkest hour, that
4he-ai cry was-heard in Carolina, -in
Ch rpton, that city~tha1t has . -been in
Bi'l hands, there was freedom; and
whng hi gallai Northeznrn en and
Greene and the Southern army had
swept from the battles of Eutaw, Cow
pens and King's Mountain, and made
landmarks in American history, and on
Carolina, and joined with WTashington
and helped to achieve the surrender of
Yorktown? ..Great,(Sod, all this forgot
tenT Is t'hat not written, and will it not
stand so that it can never perish, and
engraven n .stone that can never perish?
Then, again, follow out the histofy of
that gallant State. Forgive me, friends,
if Lremnind -yon' Carolinians 'here, and
Sltih~rners, and'Tellow co'nntrymen of
th o6lier States, can it still be forgotten,
has itjbeen erased, that neyer in all the
subsequent histbry, except probably the
comparatively insignificant war of 1812,
that when the Ameriean flag was raised
it was necessary to send an army to the
ver moltntain fastnesses of the land of
Moiteznia, can, it be forgotten that the
first American flag that was planted and
fastened there was done by a palmetto
regiment, and a son of Carolina?
Now, my friends, what-I- have said
to y-u-L.did not come lieretto speak. I
know that gallant corps of Carolinians
who followed me here and marched up
Broadway, that magnificent avenue,
amidst these many sights, these people
of free men, we came here not to speak
and not to boast. WVe are .true and
faithful Americans, and we came to
contribute our mite, be it ever so small,
to do 'glory ant honor -and conti ibute
praise to this great and glorious coun
try of ours, which God grant may not
only have prosperit-y'now but may last
forever and forevr, and at last be what
we are to-day-the bright example for
all the coming genErations of mankind.

An Old lian Recovers His Sight.
Levi John'son, an old and respected
citizen of Boston, Georgia, now 84 years
od, has been totally blhnd for fifteen
years, but last week he suddenly re
ceived hissight. His first intimation of
returning sight was to a little grand
child who was playing near' him. He
called to the child, and said: "I can
see you." "Oh, no, you can't," said the
little fellow, knowing the affliction of
his grandfather. "Yes, I can," said the
old man. -1 can tell the color of your
dress," and he did so. In a few min-:

A BARREN WASTE
STREWN WITH WRECKS OF ROUSES AND
BARNS. TREES AND FENCES.
Terrible Devastation Wrought by a
Cyclone in Kansas-Many Persons Se
riously Injured and a Hundred or
More Rendered Homeless and Des
titute.
CICAGO, May 8.-A dispatch from
Hutchinson, Kansas, says: News reached
this city yesterday that a wind storm
that had been raging for the last three
days had culminated in a cyclone in the
Northern p irt of Pratt County, extend
ing over the Eastern portion of Stafford,
and up in the rice country. A funnel
shaped cloud formed between 7 and S
o'clock and could be seen for miles. The
district over which it passed was sparsely
settled and but for this fact the loss of
life and property would have been terri
ble. The cyclone fist struck at a point
about five miles Southeast of Stafford,
and for miles in a Northeasterly direc
tion left nothing but a barren waste,
strewn with wrecks of houses and barns,
trees and fences, with here and there
bodies of stock either killed or crippled
by the wind.
The only person killed outright was
William Crawford, whose neck was
broken by the flying timbers of his
house, which was totally demolished.
Eight or nine others were fatally in
jured, and about twenty-five or thirty
five more were more or less injured.
A. F. Guinup's house was totally de
stroyed, and himself and family were
badly injured. His wife and young babe
were carried a distance of 100 feet, and
the child's thigh was broken.
Joseph Gilt's house was totally de
stroyed and its contents s.attered in
every direction.
The house belonging to Mrs. Lindley
and occupied by herself and two step
children, Maud and William Blue, was
blown to atoms. Mrs. Lindley was se
riously injured and is not expected to
recover.
Joseph Setler's fine two-story house
was torn to pieces and so scattered that
not a splinter remained on its former
site.
Another large house not yet occupied
was demolished.
A large number of horses and cattle
were killed and crippled.
Physicians were summoned and the
people of- the whole country turned. out
to render every assistance possible.
Many other buildings were more or
less damaged, and where the cyclone
crossed the Santa Fe River, between
Sterling and Alden, the telegraph poles
were leveled to the earth. and other
damage was done. There were no fatali
ties in that district.
As soon as the news of the cyclone
reached Stafford a mass meeting was
held and committees organized to carry
ofiithe work of relieving the distress in
a systematic manner. More than a
hundred people are left homeless and
without food or clothing.
Reports from other towns throughout
the Southwestern part of the State indi
cate heavy winds for three days past,
but nothing in the nature of such a tor
nado as visired Stafford County.

Council hastily adjourned and went into
the street. A soaking rain followed.
At Hincklcy, Minn., the wmnd did
damage to timber an.d sbade trees. An
engine running between Sandstone and

THE NEW WAR SHIP CHARLESTON.
She Behaves Herself Handsomely on
Her Trial Trip.
SANTA BAnBAnA, Cal., May 9.-The
United Stares cruiser Charleston arrived
bere for her trial trip last evening, mak
ing, under easy steam during the last
portion of her trip, a little more than 14
knots per hour. The cruiser left Mis
sion Rock in San Francisco Bay at 5:48
o'clock Tuesday morning. In the irreg
ular bulwarks, fore aid aft, where the
eight-incl rifled guns are to find posi
tion, and in the sponsors for the accom
mnodations of the six-inch guns, were
piled high iron bars in sufficient num
bers to represent the weight of her pow
erful guns. The brass railings and
mountings lacked polish, while the
great portion of the wood and metal
work was covered with tarpaulins for
protection. Lanterns were suspended
in the wardrooms and passageways for
lighting purposes, in lieu of the electric
light plant, which is not complete.
Apart from these features, which had
no bearing upon the working capacity
of the. cruiser, she was in readiness to
attempt the duty assigned her
of developing seven thousand
horse-power by her two compound en
gines for four consecutive hours-a more
severe test, it is claimed, than any to
which ships of war are usu:dly subjected
im making tests of power and speed.
The cruiser was in command bf Capt.
Charles M. Goodall. The official In
spection -Board of United States naval
officers consisted of Commodore Ben
ham, Commander Henry Glass, Naval
Constructor Joseph Feaster, Lieutenant
E. F. Qu:ltrough and Chief Engineer
Harris. There were several representa
tives of the Union Iron Works on board,
also Naval Constructor Fernal, U. S.
N., who supervised the construction of
the cruiser on behalf of the government.
The inspecting corps of engineers, acting
on behalf of the government, to as
certain the horsepower of the engines,
consisted of Chief Engineers F. J. Hoff
man and E. T. Warburton, Assistant
Engineers ILllis, McElroy, Pickerell.
Disson, Kirkland. W. S. Smith and 11.
L. Leonard. The naval contingent was
also supplemented by Captain J. C.
Watson, Commander F. P. Gilmore and
Lieutenant Calkins and others. There
were about one hundred seamen a'id
others who were present in a semi
official capacity.
After her compasses had been satis
factorily adjusted, the Charleston, at 8
o'clock,-headed down the bay. A strong
Southwest wind had been blowing and
there were heavy waves on the bay.
She was soon in combat with a strong
sea. The engines had been gauged to
forty riivolutions, which served to
press the ship steadily forward. Besides
breaking forward.. water began to come
over the starboard side. The cruiser
held steadily on, rolling very little, but
dipping down sharply after resting on
the big waves, lifting her stern high in
the air. During the roughest portion of
the passage both screws at various stages
were completely out of water.
During this rough passage, Commo
dore Benham, together with Captain
Watson, were on the bridge. At times
the spray came over the breastwork of
steel, rising seven feet above the deck. At
one time the Charleston took a dip into
the trough of tile sea and immdelate!y
pushed into a second wave, which envel
oped all on board. The comb broke over
the breastwork, tlooding the officers on
the bridge aid hoisting the brass stan
ehions on the foreward (leck out of po
sition. At almost the same moment a
wave broke f-iirly over the starboard
side of the ship, followed by a second,
which comipletely flooded the main deck.
She finally rode out to sea and encoun
tered less boistecrous5 seas.
The naval omlicers were free to say
that the Chaileston had behaved hand
somely, anid that t'ie test had been a se
vere one in the matter of her staunch
ness. Constructor Fernaldi remarked
that ten years service would p~robably
not encounter a rougher sea or be sub
jected to a more severe test as to her
structural sea-guing qualities.
From 10 o'clock until 1 in the after
noon the engines were allowed to ex
hibit a little more power, and the cruis
er's progress indicated an even speed of
11 knots. When off Santa Cruz the en
gines were slowved down, on account of
a slhght tendency to heating shown by
the cross-head of one of the high-press
ure cylinders, and were finally stopped
to puit a shim under the cross-head to
relieve this tendency, and the engines
were again started at 6 o'clock 'in the
afternoon anti were, run steadily to
Santa Barbar'a at gradually increasing
speed, without showmng further heating.
The engineers' reports show that in the
run from San Francisco to Santa Bar
bara iiot a journal or nin showed heat
The engines had run smoothly and with
out jar, and, with the one exception
noted,to the entire satisfaction of tile con
tractors and government e-ngineers. The
air pump vacuutm remained steadily
twenty-seven inchies during~ the run.
During thme four hours' ruii from off
Point Benehor to Point Conception, end
ing at 2 o'clock yesterday evening, the
speed of the cruiser averaged 13 3-10
knots per hour. From Point Concep
tion to Santa Barbara thme engines were
maitainedl at steadily in creasing speed,
and tile cru'ser exhibited a maximum
speed of 14 12-100 knols per hour during
the last stage of the run to this port.
A decision will be probably reached
to-ay as to the time the four hours' run
to test tue engines will take place.

TRAGIC END OF AN ELOPEMENT.
A Young Husband Kills His Bride and
Himself.
M1AcoN. Ga., lay 8.-A special from
Albany, Ga., gives the details of a hor
rible double tragedy at that place last
night. About 10 o'clock two pistol shots
rang out in the heart of the fashionable
residence portion of the city, and when
the cause of the shots was disclosed it
was found that William Gilmore, a pro
minent young man of Albany, had shot
and killed his seventeen-year-old wife,
Fannie, and then killed himself.
Gilmore and his wife h'ad been mar
ried only a few months, and their life
together had been an unhappy one.
Their marriage was consummated by an
elopement made necessary by the bitter
opposition of firs. Wells, the mother of
Mrs. Gilmore. After the marriage, how
ever, Mrs. Wells seemingly became re
conciled to the match, and at her request
Gilmore and his wife returned to the
home of his wife's parents to board. In
a few weeks the troubles of the pair be
gan, and they finally ended in Gilmore's
leaving his wife.
Friends interestcd themselves in the
matter and a reconcilation was effected.
This reconciliation, however, was not
permanent, and a second separation
ensued a short while since. Soon after
the second separation young men began
to call on Mrs. Gilmore. It .was sup
posed that this was the immediate ca'*se
of the tragedy, for a day or two ago
Gilmor was heard to say that if he could
not have Fannie no one else should.
Last evening he paid what debts he
owed in Albany, purchased a 38-calibre
pistol, called at the office of his wife's
father and obtained his permission to
call on Mrs. Gilmore during the evening.
About 9:30 o'clock he called and was re
ceived by Mrs. Gilmore in the parlor.
What passed between the pair will never
be known, but about 10 o'clock Mrs.
Wells, the mother of Mrs. Gilmore, who
was sitting near the parlor, heard a shut
ring out. She screamed, "What was
that:'' Gilmore replied: "That was for
my beloved, and this is for me," imme
diately firing a bullet into his brain.
When tbc mother- in-law rushed into the
room the two unfortunates were in the
agonies ot death.
The double funeral occurred this even
ing and was largely attended, as hus
band and wife were very popular in Al
bany.
