Blessing , " xvhlch served as an Introduction
for tlio annual International convention of
the Young People's Society of Christian En-
denvor. This convention is the largest ever
held by the Christian Endeavor.societies and
Is pr.-bably the largest religious convention
over held on earth. The advancing hosts
have been making their appearance all the
cole and still others are coming tonight.
The auditorium had boon handsomely deco
rated for the occasion , llnijs and bunting
abounding every where. The most notice-able
of all was the Christian Endeavor

which nung directly over the stngo.
In front of the speaker's stand

The Introduction of President Clark ,
whom Dr. Tiffany Introduced as "Father
Endeavor" Clark , was the signal for n quick
waving of handkerchiefs that showed how
dear ha Is to all the members of tlio societies.
For his annual address President Clark
had chosen the toplo "Fidelity nnd Fellow
ship , " and spoke first on the basis of the
movement. He said : "As such a movement
developes wo can see many reasons for Its ex
istence , all doubtless embraced in the divine
plan , suoh ns the promotion of outspoken dls-
c < plc.sliln , the lucreiso of faith In youthful
jiioty , tno development of well trained work-
inon for the churoh , nnd the increased ro
spool paid to covenant \ows , but above and
beyond ovou these priceless blessings I think
J u y mention two elements thnt prominently
jiuuk the history of the Christian Kmleavor
society. These two features nro fidelity und
fellowship fidelity to the local church to
which each society nnd each member of ouch
society holomrs , n fidelity without which n
true Christian EmUnvor society cannot exist ;
fellowship a fellowship cemented by a com
mon name and common vows and common
methods of service , n fellowship thnt is ox-
ciuiillllod by this mngultlcent assembly. "
General boerotary liner read a number of
telegrams , among others ono from Bishop
Vincent , regretting his inability to bo pros-
cut on account of Illness.

Lovnov , July 9.- [ Now York Herald Cable
Special to Tin : Bnixj The prince and
princcis of Wales gave n garden party to the
German emperor and omoross this afternoon
nndwonderful\o relate , thoweathcr was line
throughout , no tearing winds , no rain , no
lightning and no thunder ; altogether It * vas
a most romarkublo day In this very occontrlo
summer. The prince ivas evidently delighted
with his good fortune. Almost as soon as
the earliest of the guests made their appear
ance ho camooutnnd betrar. making himself
agreeable to them with that charm of manner
which even bis bitterest enemies will uot
deny that ho. has. The princess and her two
unmarried daughters accompanied him and
In n very few minutes they were talking and
laughing with little groups in which no nc-
qualntanco was overlooked.
The gardens of Marlborough house nro
of very fair dimensions , considering that
they stana in Pnll Mall iu St. Jnmc.s park.
Trees mingle together and give n completely
rural aspect to the enclosure. In thcso gardens -
dons a couple of touts had boon erected and
two binds were playing alternately. Every
moment tbo guests increased In numbers.
All the best known people lu society and
literature , in politics or in art , all of the
most famous ladies of the day , dared the
weather by turning out in their most bewitching -
witching apparel.
Listen ! There are strains of "God Save
the Queen. " No , it's a Gorman national
uuthem which does not vary by n single note ,
and now coming up the walk with the
princess of Wales on his arm Is a gentleman -
man In plain morning dress with a wlnto hat
and wearing liivondar gloves. His loft hand Is
.slipped partially within his vest. Ills the kais
er , the rulur of many legations whom all took to
bo the greatest man of the ago. Ho is a de
termined but pleasant looking man , observ
ing everything around him , with quick ayes
recognising friends among both ladies and
gentlemen ,
Standing by 1 particularly noticed him
stop out of his way to shako Hands cordially
with Lady Dudley , ono of the handsomest
and ono of tlio purest women of the ago.
On her fair fame , foul breath scandal has
never left even a passing cloud , nil honor to
her. So the emperor passed on with that
young looking royal ludy xvho is the mother
of a largo lamlly. Immediately behind thorn
came the prince of Wales with the Gorman
empress taller apparently than her
husband , a stately and legal woman. Thus
the throng pissed by ; the duchess of Fife
looking quito well and happv , duke of
Edinburgh , Prince Albert of Victor , duke
of Connnught and others. They all had
friends in the throng and shako hands with
them us they pass , ladies responding with
low bows and gentlemen standing with un
covered heads.
Presently the royal party returned to the
house and ono can see the prince of Wales
within standing bare headed at the door.
Ho Is waiting for the queen , his mother ,
A few moments after n chcor is faintly
heard from Pnll .Mall. The sovereign drives
up , with her two Scotch groonib at the Uack
of the carriage , and tnu prince of Wales
helps her to alight , then , his face beaming
with smiles , ho leads her into the garden.
Her majesty , ns alert us over , bestowing
smiles or pleasant words upon her old
friends and beams on each sldo pleasantly as
she passes. She leans on a short stick , the
prince giving her his arm on the other side.
Both Ibok supremely happy. No cloud Is on
the queen's face and the prince is as delighted -
lighted as a boy ut having his royal mother
thus among his guests.
All rumors sot afloat by lying tongues dis
appear before such a picture as this. The
German emperor walks behind with the
princess otValos _ , continually removing his
hat and bowing. "Tho empress is now on the
arm of Prince Albert Victor , who looks
rather small and slight by her sido. They go
onward to tno larger of the two touts where
the queen and some of the Indies take
chairs. The nrinco of Wales and the kaiser
stroll mound talking to friends. Lord
Salisbury has n few moments' conversation
with the queen. Not far olt are most of the
other cabinet ministers , but none of thorn
approach the oueen again. She walks nearly
outside the circuit of gardens , the crowd
opening up to let her pass but not crowding
around her. Still they do undoubtedly press
to got near the tout where she is sitting
within nud she submits to their prolonged
ga/os with the utmost good humor. Some
artist in the background Is undoubtedly tak
ing sketches. The queen remains nearly on
hour and a half , the garden being crowded
all the time with celebrities of nil kinds mid
nil countries. The prince of Wales invites
his friends , and they extend to ovcrv class
representing the social and public lifo of
Enuland.
Under yonder tree the nrchhlshop of Cnn-
torbury is tnlking with the bishop of London.
Ai thur Cecil mid George Grossmlth , actors ,
are also having n chat. Great nobles and
well known literary men ininplo together ,
ladies nro everywhere , beautifully dressed.
Would thnt I had a pun adequate to do Jus
tice cither to thorn or their dresses. While
ono is ndnnriiig them In kind the queen of
Great Britain once more comes by. still lean
ing on the nrm of her oldest son. She passes
through the house , her open carriage is
driven Into Pall Mall , the crowd cheers and
she is gono. In u few moments afterwards the
Gorman emperor and empress take their do-
Darturonlso. They received n very hearty
greeting from the peopleoutsldo. . Then
everybody goes and the most brilliant garden
party of 18111 is at nn end.

Ontral Knropn'H Proposed Alliance.
HOMI- , July 9 , Signer Peirroll , the Italian
minister at Borne , is oxpcctod to arrive bore
shortly to consult with the tariff committee
and to fix n data for commencing the negotia
tions for the commercial alliance of the cen
tral European powers. The committee Is
still busily engaged lu accumulating , data and
consulting thu various Interests Illtely to bo
effected by what promises to Do the most Im
portant commercial negotiations of modern
times. The supreme indifference of the
United States to the progress of the negotia
tions can only be accounted for by the hope
that the embargo on American pork
'
will bo removed by the nations
forming tbo alliance. Well informed
observers , however , are convinced
that , the embargo , us raised , will bo simply
replaced by a tariff that will bo In effect pro
hibitory us ugatnst nil nations not in thu al
liance. Tlio United States would thus sea
itself not only completely hut permanently
shut out' from Europeus a market for its

What Dr. Slirady S.iyx Editorially In
thu Medical Kecoi-il.
NEW YOIIK , July 9. When ICommlor wns
electrocuted nt Auburn Dr. George F.
Shrady was ono of the stato's invited wit
nessed. In asking Dr. Shrndy to bo present
Warden Durston not only acknowledged the
ability of the eminent physician who pro
longed the life of General ( Irani , but ho
thereby acknowledged the right of the medi
cal profession everywhere to know what
transpired. Dr. Shrndy was proson * . not only
In n personal capacity , but ho represented
his profession , being the editor of tlio Modi-
cnl Hocord. When Dr. Jenkins began the
autopsy on Komlors' body Dr. Shrady ,
who Is a shorthand writer , made the
running notes of the progress of that
inquest. The saino night Dr. Shrady , having
been left alone In the work , reduced his
notes to writing and thus the Assoclntcd
press wns enabled to lay the description of
the nutopsy before the public with the story
of Komuiler's ' execution. Dr. Shrady wns
not present nt the Sing Sing executions. Mr.
Warden Brown U reported ns having said ho
did not think to ask him. In this week's '
issue of the Hecord , however , Dr. Shrndy
has editorial reference to the Sing blng exe
cutions. and the following extracts ave most
pertinent :
"It is with n fooling of general relief thnt
ono hears that success has this time offset
the horrors enacted last year at Auburn and
that science , which heretofore has so nobly
lent Its best efforts to saving and prolonging
life , has at last succeeded lu showing Its
power to kill effectively , quickly and almost
pleasantly.
"Thoro was a grim humanity about the
proceedings of repeating the shocks In quick
succession which relieved the mindj ) und
conscience of these who guaranteed the
criminals against unnecessary .suffering. It
Is assorted that no burnt sacrifices resulted.
"No olllclal report has yet boon received
regarding the details of tno killing and there
Is nothing beyond the moro results in death
Which have at pressut any scientific intcr-
ost. The extra precautions taken to prevent
the expression of Independent porsonnl via < vs
will noccssnrilv detract from the value of
the verdict when linally rendered. The en
forced secrecy of the proqcedings will strike
every fair-minded person with n surprise
and suspicion which it will bo exceedingly
dilllcult to offset by any carefully wurdcd
olTlelul document. It can scarcely bo bo-
Moved that u party of scientific
gentlemen could submit to bo gagged
by a prison ofliclal and bo prevented
from expressing an opinion regarding
scientific phenomena of which they were the
selected and skilled witnesses. They nro
placed in the humiliating position of a Jury
having n nominal pow6r without a voice and
presumably helpless in combining foregone
conclusions.
"But if wo must have copitM punishment ,
what ad vantage have wo gained by electricity
over hanging I Wo hnve si ? a thnt it may fail
Horribly unless extraordina v precautions uro
taken. It has boon claimed by these who ap
pear to know that the torture of Kcmmler
was grossly exaggerated. Wo can testify to
the contrary and assort that no adjectives nro
strong enough to do Justice to the dreadful
scono. The most wo can hope for is that his
tory may never repeat itself iu thnt dlroc-
tiqii. " _ _

At Salinas , in the state of Minus , Brazil , a

Tlio editor of the local p.ipor , Cldn Do Lopol-
dlnn , visited Viorrn In Jail and had tlio fol
lowing Interview with him :
"Is It true that you nourish yourself upon
liutmui ( lush I" was askod.
"Yes , sir , " answered the prisoner. "For
some time 1 and inv friendsImslllo , Lean-
d round others tiavo enton human llosh wo
lived on it. "
"What motive has Impelled you to such
barbarous aets before C3od and man I"
"Because wo lilted it"
"How did you sceuro the first victim ! "
With the utmost frankness Viorra replied l
"Upon going one day to Lenndro's honso ho
Invited mo to eat u piece of Ills dead child. I
hnn had nothing to oat , I was hungry and I
accepted the invitation The following day ,
while returning to my house , 1 found a
woman asleep by the road side. The the UK tit
came to mo to kill her. I did so , using n stone
as my weapon. I took the body to mv homo.
After MWIO dnvs I killed a man namnd Sim-
plisco and invited my friends , Francescoanil
Slvosca , to hulp mo eat him. When Slmplis-
co's ' llosh was consumed , having no other re
sources , it occurred to mo to kill Ms two sensor
or a further supply of food With two blows
he deed was done. The Utah of tlio two
children lasted us a fortnight. After seine
time had elapsed , being thrown again Into
the old predicament of having nothing to oat ,
Basilio and mvsolf killed Kr.inceic.-i ana de
voured him. Finally , having discovered thnt
Baslllo had stolen a shirt , from mo , I killed
him while ho was off his guard engaged in
prep irlng some roots for supper. I ate very
little of him , for I was caught two days after
1 had killed him. "
Vicrra was captured In the very act of
making a meal olT a portion of Baslllo's ro-
malns , which ho was devouring-with evident
relish. Tin.1 soldiers found a part of Basillo's
body packed away In a barrel prcnaroi1 with
pepper and salt.
"Then has human llosti an agreeable
taste ! " Viorra was asked.
"No , " he replied , "It Is too swont. The
parts I found the most toothsome to tlio
tongue was the brain. No doubt my stomach
was turned each time I partook of human
llosh. "
"How did you prepare the llosh for eating -
ing ! "
"Wo ate it roasted or boiled , seasoned with
salt and a great deal of popper. "
"And did not the remains of your victims
inspire you with tear ! "
"Somewhat , yet the sight of them did not
affect us , but the fear of detection did. "
"And do you sloop calmly now ! "
"Yes , over so tranquilly. "
"Do you never feel romorao at having Boon
guilty of such dcodsi"
"I can't roinembor that I over do , " Viorra
