count's letters plvo n iiumuar of scandals
against the throe gontlcmou named. Borne
of thcso icAndnU nro old but many of them
are now. It will perhaps bo notva _ to m est
American readers that Gladstone is vulner
able to gostlp , especially to goislp concerning
women. But Count Paul VntaH refers clr
cumstantially to the premier ns having been

who Is known to many end who is describes
in the count's letter as n woman who has con
tracted some very respjctnblo debts in Farii
society "tho only thing about her" sayi
Vassal ! , "which can ba called respectable. '
The count , in that put o ! his literature it
which ho fssociatcs the nume of the Britisl
romior with that of ' Laura B. , " declare
that "tho beauty named has occasioned t <
pond her portrait to her old ndmtror , and Mrs
Gladstone , who jealously watches over thi
whims and fancies of her husband , sent th
portrait back , "
Concerning the same subject Count Pau
Vassal ! says , arming other things , " I can no
toll you whether the relations of tlio grand oil
man with Mrs. L ngtry Imvo ever roall ;
stooped beyond the bounds of a certain sonti
monU'.lfm , but I cm tell you he haa no
ceased to pay hu court to the woman. Hi
has a pnsiion for billet doux , and even fron
his seat in parliament ho sends notes to one o
hit beautiful assistants which , often handed t >
discreet messengers under the eyes of Mr *
Gladstone , ore suppressed. "
Commenting upon the minors about Glat
stone's allege ! relations witb Madame
Nuvldoff , the editor of the Nouvelle Ravuo
whlcli Is publishing Count Vnsnli's letter * , declares
claros as a friend of this lady that the report
are false. Ho adds , however , that ho canno
aliirm tint a woman of such intelligence ! r
that possessed Jby Mma. Novidoff Is not flal

LONDON , May 17. The final installment of

will bo issued during the 'Whit-Sunday receis
of parliament. The conservatives will post
pone parliamentary action until all the papers
are presented , The publication of the iirst
dispatches engross the attention of political
clubi. The dominant feeling among liberals
Is that Karl Granvtlle's conduct with respect
to the negotiations was weak and that ho
failed to perceive DeGior'a Intentions until
news was received of the seizure of Peojdxh
by the Iluislans , The liberal paper , the Ob
server , says the dispatches simply shew tlio

CHICAGO , III , , May 17. A meeting of the
general freight agents of reads Interested in
the luuber traffic between Chicago and Coun

the purpose of arranging the new tariff to go
into effect to-morrow. When the managers
agreed to advance the lumber rates on last
Friday they made the rate to Council Bluffs
14c per 100 Ibs. , and to Omaha IGc. It has
since boon dipcoycred that those the rates can
not bo carried Into offust as the bridge toll be
tween Council Blulfj and Omaha is three
cents par 100 Ibs , and consequently , the dif
ference in rates to the two points _ must bo
throa cents. It was deemed inadvisable to
make the Omaha rules 17o because
that would have made the rate to
Kansas City ono cent lo > s. It was
therefore decided to leave the rate to Omaha
10 cofits , as agreed upon by tbn general man
agers , but ta make the rate to Council Bluffs
19 cents. Rates on Nebraska points will ba
based on Council Bluffs rates ,
The meeting to bo held to-morrow have n
a variety of subjects to consider aud arranco ,
among [ thorn tba fixing of n uniform emigrant
rate , the conforming of the freight tariffs , and
reports ai to thn new situation made by the
creation of the Missouri river pools. This
out of thn way the meeting will bo followed bj

This is the second reduction made by thi

HOW HE FELL IK WITH AN OLD SHAKKR AND
onKW TO DK WKALTHV AND WKl.tFSKD.
Rev. 0. W. SiVaJgo , pastor of the First
Methodist Episcopal church , preached a sermon -
mon yetterday on the life of a Nebraska man ,
which In substance is given below.
My usnal custom Is to preach a short or-
mon to the children. Uut this morning in
stead of preaching to you I will tell you n
true story. And wo will call this story the
children's seimon for to-day , Now for our
story.
A little boy , whom wo will call James ,
was born In the city of Now York
\prll 23 , 1812 , lie first rcmombors his
father as n kind and Industrious man.
Kvory Saturday night ho brought homo
provisions , and something for James and his
sisters , but Boon the father began to drink.
lie abused James' mother and would provide
nothing for the family. His mother took in
washing to make n living. Sometimes the
father would bo taken to jail , and the
mother would pay the fine out of money she
had earned by washing. Ill ) father drove n
back , and James would sleep at the barn to
open the stable door for his lather who would
olten bo out very late at night. If the dooi
was not open as teen aa the fathei
thought it should bo. ho would
whip James most unmercifully. Things wenl
on In this way growing worse and worse , til
the family were compelled to move into i
damp , dark basement on Broadway. Tin
mother grr.w ill from overwork. The father
turned into n boast by strong drink , pawnoi
the mother's dress and shoos and oven tbo bee
clothes for liquor. His mother would oftei
read the bible to the children , and ono da ;
she put her arms about her son's neck ant
prayed , "May God take care of my boy , " am
she made James promise that ho would novo
drink strong drink. James was then only
years old , and to this day Jamei says that fo
thirty-seven years ho has kept tliat pledge
When ho sees a man drinking bo ahvay
thinks of the pledge ho made his mother. II
advisr > 3 mothers now to pledro their boy
ngilnst drink. Ilia mother died soon aftc
and was buried on the 2ot
of December , 1818. The father was not r
homo when the wife died , nnd when some c
tha friends sent for him ho came to the fi
neral drunk.
James lived poorly enough after this. II
would sleep In a butcher's cart , or a charco :
box , or In an alley. Often men would stun
bleovor hirain thodark ani sometimes the
would almost kick the life out of hi * poor 11
tie body.
Now , einco hla mother is deai and h
father is so cruel to him , James looks aboi
to see how ha can better his own condltloi
He engaged himself as a cabin boy on a voss
which sailed to South America. lie wi
abroad two years. When he came back 1
went on a trip to Liverpool. When Jam
returned from England he received the ner
from some of the stable mon that his fath
had died of delirium tremens , and I suppo
James did not shed many toars. Uo
could ho cry at the loss of such a fathe
Now James goes to selling matches ar
papers. Tbero was one incident while ho wi
m this work which has greatly interest )
me. Ouo Sunday morning , as he was goli
up Bleecker street with an armful of Sundi
papers , a gentleman hailed him , nnd ho we
upon the stoop and sold him a paper. Tl
gentleman handed him n half dollar In pa
ment. .Tames tojd him he would bring hi
the change in the morning. But at that tic
he had no thought of doing so. The no
morning , as he was paealng the some place/
voice in the boy's breast said ; "Give the ge
tleman his change. " He did so. The gentl
man was surprised , and said : "Well , my bo
I never expected to see yon or the chang
And I would not have cared much , for y
seem to need the money. But I nm glad
aee that you are honest"
10 The gentleman told him to bring him
10e paper every morning and he also spoke
10h [ others concerning the honest newsboy , A :
: h as n result of that ono honest act James so
of had fifty regular customers. Ho found tb
10 day that honesty paid , and it has paid him
lire through his life.

reef were Bitting on the curb stone n Shaker past

hoe refused to go , but James decided to go tt

nnd said good bye nnd was off. He has no
seen Dick since , bnt he has often wonde :
Pof how he has prospered. Nor has James o
been able to find his sister , though ho I

m rnisr SUNDAY.
Special Telegram to The BEK.
LONDON , May 17. A larco majority of the
nonconformists and a respectable minority of
the churchmen do not favor adopting tha ro-
viicd bible in public worship , and it is doubt
ful If it will ever displace the King James
version. Besides thl ( , the fact of the revision
being n copyright In tlio hand ) of two pub-
lishlnp houses adds to the difficulty of making
Its use popular , Thqro is an immense demand
for copies , but publishing exports say this In
from curiosity and literary interest , which
will soon , decrease. The average English
press opinion may bo summed up by saying
that the revised version Is a good , useful and
learned work , but ita chief value is in the
showing how excellent and , on the whole ,
how faithful a rendering of the old testament
wo have in use which , for more than two anil
n half centuries , has been received , It is
expected that many eormons will bo preached
on the event this Sunday over the whole
country So far as the press Is concerned ,
the revised old testament is not given nearly
so much attention n < s the revised now testa
ment received ,
The Pall Mall Gazette nays : "There is little -
tlo probabilty of its being appointed to bo
road In churches at all , oven in ourtimo which
expresses the general idea. Tha scholarship
of the revisers Is pratsnd , but much regret Is
expressed at the number of sacrifices of poetic
and familiar forms to gritting litcralness. "
It is interest-ng that tbo Anthonoum was
the only weekly that was gvion copies in ad-
vanco. The Academy , the Saturday lleviow ,
and others appeared with notices , and the
Daily News says : "Tho revisers have erred ,
if they Invo erred at all , on the side of obsti
nate conservatism rather than on the sldo of
rash innovation. "
The Anthonoum Bays : ' The revision Is a
literary success. There are no pretensions to-
t scholaily completeness , and practically no al
terations In the text The revisers can ba
congratulated upon the wisdom of their do-
ceston in declining to make a now text of the
old , as the other company did with the now
testament , "
The rush for press and authentic copies of
the revised old testament is unprecedented In
England. The PA ! ! Mall Gazette states this
oveninir that the London correspondent of
a great Now York newspaper offered $500 for
simply an advance copy of the revised old
testament at ono of the university publishing
houses. The officers haying the printing in
charge were obdurate in refusing the corres
pondent's obstinate request. The correspond
ent , the Gazette says , was authorized by his
paper to spend $2,500 in telegraphing the
main feature of the new version. Tbo tint
orders for the issue of the revision amount to
over one million copies ,
Priority of Saloon Injunctions ,
MUBCATINE , la , May 17. Judge French of
) ho circuit court reudered an important deoi
sion yesterday , being noon the injunction pro

French holds that the first injunction pro

priority to any injunction proceedings against
the same saloon. The decision was regarded
as a great victory for the saloons , as shain in

the friends of the saloons against neurly every
