He is Made Ceneral of the Army and Signs His Acceptance- Sends His Thanks to the Presldont and Issues His First Orders. Washington, June 1. Thebulletin is- Rticd at 8:45 this lnornin"; says General Sheridan lias held his own through the night. There has been no recurring of imminent danger, but his general condi lion fatill justifies the gravest anxiety. So severe was the patient's relapse yes terday Afternoon that Father Chapelle was summoned to administer extreme unction. Only by rniid work was the crisis tided over. The sick man niiirht have died at any moment. . Colonel Shcriilan said the general had had a comfortable night, and looked very much improved this morninir. "The general has had a bad time of it," he re plied, "but I think he will come out all right, yet." At 12 o'clock it was announced that General Sheridan's condition was practi cally unchanged. The bulletin issued at 2:30 pays Sheri dan's condition shows n material change since thd issue of the last bulletin. lie lias been sleeping quietly, at interval.--, for three hours. 9:30 p. m. The following bulletin has just been issued: The situation remains about the same. Throughout the day General Sheridan's mind has been lucid. There has been no renewal of yesterday's attack, though there is but incomplete recovery from its effects. No new un favorable symptoms have developed. The unavoidable excitement connected with his promotion has had no deleteri ous cllect whatever. lie lias slept through the great port of the day. Colonel Sheridan called on President Cleveland this afternoon, at the General's request, to thank him for his nomination and commission of general of the army, and to hand him a formal note of thanks signed by the general's own hand. 12:30 a. m. There has been no appre ciable change in Sheridan's condition since the last evening bulletin was issued. He has coughed but little, has slept most of the time, and when awake has been clear in his mind and cheerful. MADE GENERAL OF THE ARMY. Washington, June 1. The senate bill to receive the grade of general of the army has been signed by the speaker of the house and sent to the president. The president signed the bill and sent the nomination of Philip Sheridan to the sen ate for that position. On receipt of the nomination the senate went into execu tive session and confirmed him. At 3 this afternoon Senators Ilawley an 'I Manderson drove up to Geneial Sheri dan's residence with the commission which the president had just signed mak ing him general of the army. Senator Ilawley handed it to Mrs. Sheridan. Siie was much moved and exclaimed: "I know he will get well now." At 3:45 p. in. General Sheridan sign ed the following formal acceptance of his commission as general of the army: Headquakteks Akmt of the United State?, Washington, Jnne 1, 1888. lloiu Secretary of War: bir I have th lr nor to acknowledge the receipt of my commission as general of the army, to which position the president has today appointed me. I hereby accept the same. 1'. ll &HEKIDAX, uenerai. The signature w.i3 written with pencil in a large and perfectly legible hand. Soon after the receipt of the commission Sheridan took the oath of office and di rected the issuance of the follo'wing or der, being his ii.st official act m his capacity as general: . General Order 37. Headquarter.? of the Army, Ad.iu- tant-Gf.ijkbais Office. Washington, June 1. 1. The following named offi cers arc appointed aides-de-camp on the staff of general of the army, with the rank of colonel, to date from this day: Major Michael V.

In addition to the duties of aides-de-camp, Colonel Blunt will continue to perform the duty of inspector of rifle practice at headquarters of the army. By command of General Sheridan. It. C. Drum, J. C Relton, Adjutant General. Assistant Adjutant-General. The senate then proceeded to consider ation of the Indian appropriation bill. A colloquy took place between Senators Plumb and B ite in regard to the admin istration of the office of commissioner of Indian affairs, the former asserting thst the condition of the things in Indian T..mtnnr uro worse now than thev had time when the trnder so dominated the Indian, when the Indian was brought so much in debt by the exactions of the trader, and when so much liquor was sold; and that the commissioner had no experience, was advanced in years, and was unequal to the pofition, while Mr, Bite defended the charactcd, ability, honesty and efficiency of the commission er, and challenged the senator from Kan sas to prove his assertions, which Plumb promised to do. The bill was finally yossed. Adjourned Remarkable Reasons for a New Trial. UERRYViLi.E, a., Junci. A sensa tion has leen created here by the net of the judge of the circuit court here in granting a new trial to Josiah Locke,who was convicted of the murder of Wm. It. Jenkins. The new trial is granted on ac- co'int or the remarkable statement now made by Geo. W. Lee, one of the jurors who convicted Locke. Lee declares that during the recent trial of Locke he fixed his eyes upon the younger Locke and Gertie Zuinbro, the latter a child-witness for the commonwealth and daughter of Mrs. Jenkins by her first marriage, and while watching them he came to the con elusion that younge Locke was in love with Gertie and that Jenkins was jealous of him; that he was not willing to ren der a verdict on the evening the case was given to the jury, but that during the night ho had made up his mind that Locke was guilty, and in the morning when he awoke a spirit seemed to say to him, " justified, justified." He also stat ed that during the trial a spirit was whis pering to him, " mercy, mercy." Supposed Fate of a Little Girl. Cn arlottk vi r.i.F., Va., June 1. With in a week ten sheep belonging to Edgar Ballard were killed in an unaccountable way and eaten, evidently by some wild animal. Wednesday he decided to inves tigate, and Thursday at sundown he saw a tremendous black bear starting toward his flock. He fired nt it with small shot. The bear made off down the road through the woods. About the same hour B(-n Shiplett had sent his little girl down to his neighbor's just a mile and a half distant, to get some milk. The child did not reach her destination, and the evidence leads to the belief that she was met by the bear and eaten Men have been searching all day the whole surround ing country, but without success. A Small Riot. Charleston, W. Va., June 2. A spe cial from Bromwcll, Mercer count3 to the Daily Gazette says all miners in the Blue Stone district went out on a strike yesterday for two weeks pay, and to add to the excitement a negro was arrested for disorderly conduct. After the arrest it was rumored the whites would take him from the guards and lynch him. At 10 o'clock last night 100 negro miners marched to the Blue Stone inn, where the prisoner was under guard, and demanded hjs release. The guards did not surrender him, when the mob began firing on the building with pistols, and a general riot sued. Several men among the rioters were shot by members of the mob. The whites had organized. At a late hour the mob had dispersed after several had been arrested. More trouble is expected. Legal Protection for Working Women. The Worklncr Women's Protective un ion, which has its office in Clinton place, was organized twenty-five years ago. It was named before the word "union" meant what it does now, and is, therefore. In some decree misleading. It is not a union In the sense of being a labor organ ization omcered and directed by working people, but it is a society of thoso who recognize that working women need some thing they do not get, a society of helpful men and women, who by their influence. old and capital protect their more frail and hard working sisters against over bearing and brutal employers. By mak ing a complaint at the offices of the organ ization, working women, with the excep tion of those in household service, have their wrongs inquired into and their rights procured even if the law has to claim them. Statistics show that over ll.uuo appli cations for help have been made during the last year, and claims upon unprinci pled employers, even to the small sum of ft, have been wrung out of them by means of the law. These things are ac complished without cost to the applicant. Lawyers end directors give tneir services to the cause, but there are many expenses connected with the organization which reach the sum of $3,000 a year. This is subscribed for in small amounts. Ten dollars makes the donor a member for one year. The payment of $50 during any one year makes the subscriber a member for life. It hardly seems credible that ladies In society, who live luxuriously. drive out daily in their own carriages, and have attendant at their beck and call to gratify every whim, can be oppressors to their own sex, but this has been proven over and over again by the books of tho society and ine actions or tne lawyers. These very women, perhaps only from thoughtlessness, certainly from careless ness, u not a more ungenerous spirit, turn away, or cause to be turned away, the hard worked seamstress or the tired out dressmaker with her bill unpaid. x- x- i r Air of a Smoking Car. "Here ia a curious thing." said a doctor, as Lo walked through an Krio railroad train tho other day. "Thi. smoking ear Wats fifty ersoii3, and yet there U sel dom a chanco for a seat after the trnin starts out of New York. Tho ineni:i this car have gone into tho country ut consid erable expense and disadvantage for tho sako of their healths. The only timu t Ley fepend at homo is at night, and most of it in their Ledrooms in heated houses w here the uir is very littlo different from 1 hut in a city bedroom. They spend from two to four hour3 of tho only leisure tlioy have in thi3 car, where the air is so vitiated with tobacco that though I r.ni an old emoker it makes me as sick in llftttu minutes as did ray first cigar. It is sale to say that the health of these men would have been belter guarded had they stayed in town." New York Sun. The Young Art Critic. A bright youngster who visited the Corcoran art gallery the other day v.r.s apparently very deeply impressed with that famous little example of Italian sculpture, "The Forced Prayer." It will bo remembered that the status tvf-rr.' a sma.i L.oy i;: a .ry uurev i..u-ii ;ar inent who holds his chubby hands to gcthor in front cf him In an nttitud;' of prayer, whila his small faeo represents every possiblo shade of distrust anl reU l lion.

Au ha dos catch do littlo chicken up in his Lends a:i ho equoshed it." Washington Hatchet. New ArteHiait Well at Paris. Tho artesian well of Place Ilebcrt, at Paris, has just been finished, after twenty two years' work on It. It was necessary to bore to a depth of 2.CC0 feet to reach water, and such depth was attained only with tho greatest difficulty. The work had to be stopped several times, either on account of the hardness of the strata tra versed or of tho crushing of the metallic tubing caused by tho pressure of the eartli. Tho new well is tho third of tho public wells of Paris, tho others being thoso of (J re nolle and Passy. Its diameter is 5 feet and tho weight of tho tubing vbot:t b80,0OU pounds. The temperature of tho water that it furnishes is :!.! degs. Tho cost of this important undertaking was $.00.000. Scientific American. Training for n Newspaper Wrilrr. The bast general training for a newspaper writer is to Iks had on a live daily paper in a mall city where the staff isMiinli and he ii called upon to do all sorts of ncw5pajor work. Newspaper work in lar;e cities makes KptH'ial- ists.' At the same time, a bright reporter on a big city daily, if bo keeps bis eyts open. and does all he can to blaster the routine of the office outside of bis own regular work. can retail tbe training that aiiy young niau could possibly desira If be misses learning how to do any kind of newspaper work, and how to do it. too, in the most effective way, it is bis own fault. "VV. 1L Id." in The Writer. The Fredericksburg National Cemetery. The National cemetery at Fredericksburg, Va,, is the third in size, there being 15,m;) soldiers buried there, drawn from tho neigh boring battlefields of Chaneellorsville. Nrtt sylvania and tbe Wilderness. Tho cemetery itself lies on the battlefield of Fredericksburg arid in the midst of most solemn associations. yet only two Decoration Day service have ever been held there. These were in WiO mid 1SS3. While the people of Fredericksburg flock to the services in the Confederate eoino- tery, the field of tho Union di;ad is given up to a sort of colored picnic. New York Tri buna Meaningless Jargon.
