17 decided io arrest a namber of other persons whose names would not ret be given out Mr. Perry related la detail the story of Holmes' arrest in Boston and the manner in which Mrs. Pitxel was deeoyed from Burlington. He said that in the ecret conference today nothing had been said that would in the slightest degree re- fate his original theory that Pitael had been murdered. When in the West he saw the parents of Mrs.

Pitxel, and they told him that their daughter had complained of the exorbitant fee charged by the St. Louis lawyer, $4,500. In corroboration of his murder theory, Mr. Perry said that he had from Mrs. Pit-sel an exact description of her husband, agreeing in every respect with that of the corpse found in the Callow Hill street house.

Mrs. Pi tie 1, BP continued, was per fectly innocent of any complicity in the affair. She had been forced, through ignorance and pressure of various kinds, to sign certain papers, but she told Perry last night that she bad received only (500 ia cash. She said Holmes had taken of the monev and put it io a land speculation in Fort Worth, in which Pitzel was also interested. Holmes today told Perry that this was true.

His. Pitael Merely a Dupe. In Texas, Perry said. Holmes operated under the name of H. 0.

Pratt. He added that B. F. Perry, B. F.

Pitzel, and B. T. Lyman are one and the same man. Mr. Perry further said that Holmes is said to have one wife in New Hampshire, from whom he claims to have been divorced and by whom has a child 13 years old; another in Illinois, whom Mr.

Perry himself saw. and bv whom there is a 6 year-old child, and the wife who is at present in this city. In conclusion Mr. Perry said: I believe that in this matter Mrs. Pitzel has been duped and robbed.

She acted under instructions, and she has thus tar and will hereafter tell the truth. I believe that her husband was murdered. About the children I have nothing to say." When pressed to give his opinion on the theory that they, too, had been made away with, he said, in a tone which left no doubt of his opinion on the subject: ''I hope not." FATK or WILLIAMS GIRLS A MYSTEKT. At Their Texas Home It Is twttaved Both Were Murdered by Holmes. Forth Wobjb, Texas, Nov.

30. There is every reason to believe that H. H. Holmes, who went by the name of O. Prstt in Fort Woi til.

is guilty of murdering Miante Williams and her sister, Anna Williams, the crime buying probably been committed in Chicago, and in this crime a man who claimed, when here, to be a citizen of Chicago, and calling himself Benton T. Lyman, is an accomplice. Some time in February he came here from Chicago and placed on record a deed from one Bond to Lyman for 100 feet front oa Rusk and Second streets. Boyd got title by deed from Minnie R. Williams, rx ecu ted before a notary whose name was said to be Holmes.

On this property Lyman began the erection of a three-Uory stone building. At this time O. C. Pratt appeared on the scene and was introduced by Lyman as superintendent of the work. Pratt left town a few days later with many creditors searching for hist.

Lyman had sold one lot to a Fort Worth citizen, who, fearing kU title was rlonded bv Lvmsn'a connection, began to investigate'. -He found that lifinuie E. Williams had beeh -weeki for a typewriting concern ia Chicago known as Allen Co. She wrote, late in 1SH3. her sister.

Miss Anna Williams of Midlothian, Texas, to eome to Chisago, that she was going to be married and to Europe. The sister, who was a teacher in the Midlothian Academy, at once packed up and left for Chicago, leaving orders to forward her trunk in a week. No word ever came from either of the sisters, After a year the express coin pan at Chicago notified the principal of the Midlothian school that the trunks had never been called for. Minnie Williams by will was left half a block of propertr in heart of Fort Worth, valued at tfiu.000. and a farm valaed at tlii.OUO.

This property has all been alienated ostensibly by Miss Williams. A detective has recently been sent to hnd the girls, but do trace can be discovered. Chicago is tli last place in which Miss Wl'-lianis was seen. When Pratt ran away creditors attached the property, but the court appointed a receiver, who has been searching for Lyman but without success. HK IID SOT GET HIS PAT.

Hedgepeth, whose letters to the chief of police were the first intimations any. one had that a peculiarly well-planned crime bad been committed in the case where the discovery of a dead body in Philadelphia and the subsequent payment of (10,000 life insurance were incidents, was seen in the corridor of the city jail today. When asked for a verbal statcmert of bis knowledge of the swindle, he spoke freely and volubly, but only reiterated precisely the allegations set forth in hts written communications to the ch.ef. He declared emphatically that Jeptha Howe had visited him frequently and had guaranteed the payment of the toOO promised him by Howard for introducing him to a "trustworthy" lawyer. "When Howe came back from the East und told me everything was all right I reminded him of the amount promised me.

He said that they were then squabbling over bow much be was to receive, that he wanted $3,500, but Mrs. Pitzel would consent to give him only (1.000. Afterward he told me he had got his and I then demanded my (500 but of his fee. He refused it, saying that the money was already beyond his control," and when I threatened to peach he replied, "Surely yon would not do that after we've treated yon so well." Finally I asked him to give me (200 or (300. as my wife was sick, and I could do a good deal here in the jail with a little money; bnt he again declared that he could sot do anything, and, while I hated to act the part of an informer, I could not be thrown down that way, so I told the chief."

The November meeting of tbe Chicago Methodist Union took place last evening In the ladies' ordinary at the Grand Pacific. After tbe disposition of a substantial dinner, tbe president of the union.

G. Laou. Prank Craudon A. L. Blackwood, the first of tlw three formal addresses, Its subject, "Religion and the Labor Question," and the speaker, Clarence S.

Dsrrow. Naturally Lawyer Darrow was somew hat radical at times in his statements. The church, he said, had too largely drifted away from the ideal Christ, who was a socialist in the higher and better sense of that term. A too popular Christianity concerned itself with the destiny of the race after death, instead of lending adequate energy to the uplifting of tbe present life on earth. The speaker would Lave the man of culture come down and be brotherly with the uncultured aud illiterate.

Let tbe man of favor, as regarus wealth, also come down and meet raternallv his less fortuuate brother, who. though perhaps more deserving than tbe other, was in unfavorable circunistuiices. financially. With very considerable vim the speaker emphasised bis thought that Christ's paradise was not if heavenly par Use, but an earthly paradise, and that Christ came to prepare men for this life more especially, ratner than for that bevond. I'rofeajor harla S.

I.Ut. The second address, "The Kvlations of the Church to the Problems of Modern Society," was given by Professor Charles S. Little, of the Northwestern I'niversity, ana if Mr. Darrow was somewhat sensational. Professor Little was conservatively orthodox.

"We could readily sum up," said he. in part, "one peculiarity of modern society individualism. A nation of like ours, did not exist in ancient days. Tbe greatest of old-time cities was greatest of all in free-booting society, levyinr tribute on all tilers. The problem of keeping one city from rutting another city throat we had solved that.

As long as there was one poor man his state was to be chang-d to wealth. Let all recognize that Hod desired happiness for all bis children The Methodist discipline condemned little acts of worldliness, but seemed to wink at greater acts. There was needed more anticipation of paradise and less worldliness, German life at the reformation was very individual, and there -was need today of less corporate and more Individnal aemity. The speaker said the real Jesut was not a social teformer. He was asked to Overthrow the existing authority, but he answered persistently that his kingdom was not of this world.

Who had built the infirmaries and hospitals In the raedttrval times and nowadays the church, had leached forth its hand of love and care to the needy. In these times tbe church must lay much stress on tbe old-fashioned virtue.

It would be hard to And fidelity unless fidelity were rultivated. Let the pulpit discuss the ethical more than the economic side of life, rroftuor Urahana Taylor. Chairman Henry Wado Kogeri announced as the subject of tbe last formal address "Tbe Relations of Universities to the Problems of Modern Society." Professor Graham Taylor, of Kvanston, who spoke to this subject, discussed in a scholarly manner the college from the point of" view of Christian ethics. Tbe Lroblcm was one of ideal.

What was society et tbe answer be right, and tbe right ideal lived up to. There were superficial views as to the meaning of society. One would think it was his business firm: the undergraduate would think It tbe lodge he belonged to; the average society girl wonld perhaps take it for last night's ball. One view wns that it was a group of cheaply built tenements where no children were wanted. The city was part of tbe body politic.

A Philadelphia circular well said': "Tbe city of Philadelphia aud its stockholders and directors." The aucient city was a federation of brothers und tribes. This Idea was lost now almost in such cities as Chicago. To Herbert Spencer's liberalism modern society owed much. StM-iety was a body politic, tbe borne its heart, the church its conscience, commerce its circulation of blood. St.

Paul said: Ye are the body of Christ" This was tbe highest expression of the great truth. The edneational institutions should keep high this social idea. One could not manage 10.000 peopie like one individual. Not independence," but. as Phillips Brooks had said, mutualism, interdependence, was to be striven for.

Whether society should be this or that politically the Christian teaching was that thero wa a family society God the Father and man the son." Tbeebureh was not worldly enough- ia the best sense; it was not aufhcientlvj en rapport with the best tn inis worm. Ia this he agreed with Canon Free man tie. Let one but think of cosmopolitan Chicago and its vast problem of social unification. There seemed to be an endless difficulty to break down the partition walls. Let emphasis be laid on what was common to all.

If we wonld all devote more thought to this second factor in the problem It wonld -be well. One wanted to pray a good deal, bnt t-j work a rood deal more. The Ideal corporation consisted simply of individuals with hearts and souls like other men.

A country as rich as this should see no one starve. Tbe great difficnltv in these labor troubles was that men did not come face to face. Not by a committee bnt by coming personally a laborer could best have any grievance settled. All labor was honorable, and tbe sneaker wanted his boy to work as hard as bis bad done. By work a man came to eminence.

Nov. 90. Our govern ment has not yet been officially informed that the Danish government, like Germany, has prohibited 'the importation of American, caiUc and meat Our trade in these commodities with Denmark is of in significant volume, but if it should appear that the Danish government has been in duced to issue its decree at tbe instance of Germany; the correspondence between the latter country and the State Depart ment is likely to assume a very different tone from that in which it has been con ducted. It is one thing for a nation to exclude our nseats on sanitary grounds, even if tne case is oadly sustained, but it is an entirelv different matter for sech a cation to L'o out of its way to induce a third nation to join it in a boy cott of Americau products. Probably it would be difficult to eslaoiisn tne tact mat Denmark has been influenced to decree its prohibition at the retruest of Germany, bnt should this be madeclear a diplomatic issue of gravity wouid Jh raised between tbe I'nited States und Germany.

Officials of the Agricultural Department sav that the meat and cattle export from the United Slates to Denmark are insignificant in amount. andVre inclined to be-lie-c that (Germany has induced tbe Danisli government to take tbe step as a method of maJting its exclusion of the American product more effective.

Consequently it will be seen that the latest move of German inspiration, as it Is assumed to be. is in accordance with her old policy, and the officials will not be surprised at tbe announcement before many weeks, tbat Holland and Belgium, which are as closely- allied to Germany as Denmark, have followed ber lead Berlin, Nov. -States Ambassador Jiunyon at noon had a conference with Marscball von Bieberstein. the Imperial Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, in regard tn tbe prohibition against the landing of American cattle and fresh meat in Germany.

Verdirt of tbe Critic Who II earl "Prluc Ananas" Last Sight. Xw Yoav, Nov. Tt tyrant. Prince Ananias." wbWh the Bjatonians thought well enough of add to their repertoire, was produced at the Broadway Theater tonight, and was not all in all a success. The book doe not do Francis Neil-win great credit, but the score of Victor Herbert is full of strength.

There is little or no plot beyond what is developed in the last few minutes of tbe action. Tbe entire first act, of over an bonr's duration, aod tbe greater part of the second act are given to introductory plans tbat are full of promise. Tne re are characters rf contrasting value. Suggestions of romantic intrigue abound in tbe relations into which they are thrown. A poet who masjnerades as a prince, in outlaw disguised, as a monk, a country maid who dons tbe habiliments of a page to follow ber lover, a melancholy court damsel, a king afflicted wita hypochondria, an actress with a scandalous past, aud a strolliing manager, Bohemian in type, form a good assortment for the construction of a story.

But tbe task -has been beyond tbe abilities of Mr. Francis NeiLson. ills material haa been too much for him. After wasting most of his time in laying out a story he lias been obliged to tell all of it in a few minutes. His cbar.ieters are indicated, but not lie tin id.

His riiilogue is poor, the language is commonplace. His lyrics are clever as to rhyme and patter, but his words are badly chosen for musical pronunciation and bis meters are faulty, l'be score of Mr. Victor Herbert is Hue acore-of a clever mnsician. one especially versed in strikiu? orrncstral effect. He utilizes his horns.

hLs bassoons and oboes, his tympani and cymbals, producing quaint and original emphasis of point made by the words. Tbe orchestration is rich in studied elaboration. Muted violins accompany love songs, drum beats punctuate burlesque1 hits. The trick of musical jokes, the triek Sullivan has used so effectively in "I'topia Limited" has caught the fancy of comic opera composers. Mr.

Herbert has tried his hand at the game and has been quite successful. There are two waltzes that set heads to swaying and at least two man-lies that are destined to become public property. Tne singing of the Bostonians was as good as ever, the costumes, scencrr, and stage business above criticism. Mr. Herbert led the orchestra with tbe enthusiasm of a composer.

Tbe audience was large and generous, bnt tbe general opinion was tbat -Ananias must be shelved along with "Tbe (Jucen Of Brilliants," NONE BI THE ST. IBS AND STRIFES. Maowlgnwre Satollt Allows Mo Other Decora tun ml Banqort New York. Nov. 83.

SjkooI TtJrjra m. At a dinner given to Archbishop Satolli today at the residence of MonsignoreSeton. in Pavonia avenne, Jersey City, the American flag played a conspicnons part. I love America and tbe American people," atd tbe Archbishop to Monsignore Seton, "and if you wish fo give me real pleasure, use no drapery for ornamentation except the American flag." Accordingly the dining-ball was festooned with tbe stars and stripes, and Archbishop Satolli repeatedly referred to it in the course of the dinner, sayiag tbat one of the most pressing civic duties of the Catholic Cburrh in this country was to ip-rulcate patriotism. Tbat vtrtne.

he extended, was the epitome of all others, a I therefore too much stress could not b- laid anon it. It could not be ascertained wjictlier or not Mnnsignore S.ttolli intended by his frequent allusion to the subject to convey the' idea tbat he tacitly approved the conduct of Gev. Father Duccy, who was ordered by Archbishop Corrigan to curb his zeal for municipal reform. When asked about this by a reporter, Moasignore Sutolll replied evasively that be had not until to.iay heard of Archbishop Cor-rigan's order to Father Duccy to cease attending the Lexow committee's sitting. He wonld not venture any opinion on the subject, inasmuch as be will, no doubt, be called upon to adjudicate between tbe Archbishop and Father Duccy.

Monslgnore Satolli desired it to be distinctly understood that bis visit to Mon-signore Seton was not intended as a. slight to anybody else. "Monsignore Setdn," he a member of the Acadetnia Del Nobili Ecclesiastici of Rome, and of which I am the president In fact, he is the only American graduate of that academy, which is the staff college of the Pope. When Moris ignore Seton was in Rome some years ago I invited him to visit me and he has now reciprocated." Other guests were Very Rev. Father Papi, D.

Monsignore Salolli's secretary; Father Harpea. rector of the Jesuit Church in Jersey City Bev. Father, Man- gam Monsignore de Conciiio, rectorof bt. I Michaels and writer of philosopbtcaH works; Ber. Father Smith, of St.
