of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Through tho efforts of English friends, who contributed $750 for the purpose lu 1846, he was manumitted in due form of law, and was free to return to bis native country without fear of again being placed in bondage. For two yenra longer he re-mainea in England, and then returned to tbe United States. His stay in England and the consideration with which be waa treated there made a dep impression upon Douglass and he always cherished a warm feeling for tbe English people. At Rochester, N.

in 1847, be began the publication of Frrdrrirk i'njifr, whose title was later changed to Ti Xorth stnr, a weekly journal which was continued for some years. Douglass' supposed Implication in the John lirown raid in 1859 led Governor Wise of Virginia to make a requisition for his arrest upon the Governor of Michigan, in which Slate the noted agitator then was. In consequence of this Douglass weet to England, where he remained six or eight months. At the end of this time he returned to Rochester and resumed tbe publication of his paper. At the open.ng of the Civil War, Douglass strongly urged upon President Lincoln tbe advisibility of emrloylng colored troops and the proclamation of emancipation.

When permission was given to employ such troops, Douglass took aa active part In enlisting colored men. After tho abolition of slavery ho discontinued the publication of his oper and applied himself to the preparation and delivery of lectures before lyceums. In September, 1870, he became editor of the AY iVnffoiirtl Km in Washington, which was subsequently given over to his sons, Lewis and Frederick. In 1871 he was appointed Assistant Secretary to the commission to San Domingo, and on his return President Grant appointed him one of the Territorial Council of the District of Columbia. In 1873 he was chosen Presidential elector at large for the State of New York, and was appointed to carry the electoral vote of the Slightly Exhausted From Climbing Stairs After a Visit to the Council of Women.

HE FELL IN HIS WlrE'S PRESENCE. Every Effort Was Made, to Save His Life, but the Physician Could Do Nothing for Him. Washihotox (D. C), February 20. Frederick Douglass, the noted freed man, orator and diplomat, died of heart failure- a few minutes before 7 o'clock to-night at his residence in Ana-costa, a suburb of this city.

Death was entirely unexpected, as he bad been enjoying the boat of health. During tbe afternoon he attended tbe National Council of Women, now in progress in this city, and chatted with Susan B. Antbony and other leading members, with whom he has been on friendly terms for msny years. When he returned home he said nothing of any feeling of illness, though he appeared to be a little exhausted from climbing up the steep flights of stairs leading from the street to the house, which is Gesford's Anti-Cigarette Passes the Assembly in Short Order. Bil Unless Dixon's Motion to Reconsider Carries It Will Now Goto the Governor.

PROVISIONS OF THE. MEASURE It Makes It a Misdemeanor to Manufacture, Sell, Give Away or Otherwise Dispose of Cigarettes. "Every person who maauraetiirea or deal, la or sella or offer for aale or gives away or ttaerwlae di.po.ea of cigarette. la guilty of a misdemeanor." Sacramento, February 20. The As.em- bly bas finally passed the Cigarette bill Introduced in the Senate by Gesford.

As the measure bad passed the Senate before coming to the Assembly, it will go to the Governor for bis signature as soon as the notion to reconsider interposed by Assam- blyman Dixon ia disposed of in the lower bouse. Gesford's bill Is one of tbe most sweep-' fog measures introduced at ttis session. It goes further than any cigarette bills Intro' duced at preceding sessions dared to go, The bill which is so near becoming a law reads as follows: Section 1. A Dmr section Is hereby added to the Penal Code of the State of California, to be known and numbered as Seotlon 402, to read as follows: See. 402.

Every person who manufactures, or deals in, or sells, or offers tor sale, or gives away, or otherwise disposes of cigarettes, Is guilty of a misdemeanor. Sec. 2. This Act aball take effect aiz months after Its passage. When this bill was called up Assembly' man Dixon, who was formerly in the cigar business, moved to make it a special order for Tuesday.

There was a roll-eall on this, and tbe motion was voted down 22 to 42 Dixon then argued against the passage of the bill. He said he bad made a fool of himself once during the day in voting for the High Hat bill, and be did not propose to make himself doublya fool. He pointed out that 1 1,000,000 was invested in cigarettes in California. Half a million was in one warehouse. To pass tha bill would turn hundreds of persons out of employment Davis said It would be ridiculous to pass such a bill.

Every time a than put a cigar i ette in his mouth be would be disposing of a cigarette and would he violating too law and guilty of a misdemeanor. It would be a dead letter like tha Aot forbidding the ale of cigarettes to minors. Bledsoe spoke of the ruinous character of Assemblymen Declare Against the Wearing of Hats in Theatres. Rushed Through as an Urgency Matter Despite the Protests of Several of the Members. ARGUMENT MADE BY THE AUTHOR.

Kelsey Says He Is Tired of. Having His Peace of Mind Disturber' i- Waving Plumes and Ribbon Sacramento, February 20. T' Assembly made a prize fool of itself sy by finally passing Kelsey's bill forbid tho wearing of hats in theatres. Tnis a bill not generally understood, aa it is not a "high hat" bill, but a measure making it unlawful for any person to wear a hat or bonnet during tha hours of performance at any place of publio amusement. The bill had been reported favorably by the Committee on Public Morals, of whloh Mr.

Bettmaa of San Francisco is Chair-man. Kelsey moved to make the bill a matter of urgency, that it might be rushed through. To have it considered in this way, suspending tbe constitutional provision regarding second and third reading, it was necessary to get a two-thirds vote. Tbe vote was almost unanimous, but it is to be supposed that many of the members did not know what they were voting on when they answered to their names. 1 Kelsey spoke in behalf of tbe bill.

He declared that he, for one, was sick of having his peace disturbed by sitting back of women wearing high bate in theatres. There was no way to reach these women except by legislative enactment. In other States such lawa had been passed, and it was to be presumed they were constitutional. Belshaw of Contra Costa, protesting against descent to such buffoonery, declared that if the Legislature could forbid the wearing of hats at theatres it could forbid men from taking drinks between acts, and ought to do it if it passed the Kelsey bill. Waymire declared the bill was foolish.

He deprecated the evident intention of the members or some of them to vote for it. Dinkelspiel was aura that If it was in the power of the Legislature to pass such a bill it could paaa anything. He It was properly in the power cf theatre managers to forbid tbe wearing of bats in theatres If they desired to do it. At any rate, the Legislature surely bad nothing to say in the matter. The Legislature had so more right to say that the women could not show their pretty theatre bonnets in theatres than to say tha men could not smoke cigarettes.

"The only reason," said Powers, "in these arguments is ontside the argument altogether. Belshaw and Waymire and Dinkelspiel are against this bill beoause they know it applies to both sexes, and they want to wear their high hats." Brusle argued against passing tha bill, which he thought would be usurping the powers of the men who built and owned theatres, If these men did not care to have hats worn in places of publio amusement they were surely in a position to say so. North of Alameda declared he would vote for the bill because be was sure tbe women wanted it passed. He said he had been at the opera in Saoramento and two- thirds of the women there did' not wear hat. Cutler made strong speech for the bill.

He spoke in his peculiar drawling way with what appeared to be much earnest ness. He insisted that something would have to be done. Men could no longer go to the theatre and crane their necks and suffer all the evening. It was unjust and unfair, and relief should be given them. The vote was then taken and the bill adopted.

East Ha'e, Cameron and Van'Wyck Paid Tribute to the Financial Genius of the Journalist STOLE ALL THINGS, EVEN A HORSE. Then He 6ucked the Clock Game and Evened Up by Borrowing of th Man Who Ran the Gimo. Washington, February 20.

Frank H. Tr.usdell, whose arrest at. Emporia, was published in tho Examiner, bad rather a sensational career here. He came here in 1881 as agent of tho National Presa Association, predocessor of the United Press. He was agent of tbe Utter for a time and then became ccrrepoudentof tho Baltimore Amfrkan.

He was young, handsome, dressy, bright, plausible and a good newspaper man. He married while here, and for a time did well. He had no small vices. He never drank intoxicants, bet he had a passion for gambling, and was extremely fond of ladies' society. After his marriage he saved enough to buy a house in a fashionable quartor of the town, making the last payment out of the amount received as Government Inspector of the Northern Pa-cifio by appointment of President Arthur.

He was at this time engaged in wheat speculation and got on the wrong side of the market He mortgaged hia bouse, and eventually lost it. Ilia downfoll was now rapid. He played poker and was a marker for men who really knew the game. He playod pool for money with men who couVd beat him with one band. He went up against what la known as tbe clock game, a clockwork device for giving fictitious stock quotations.

At this game, as at all others, be lost He got even with the proprietor of the clock game by borrowing money from him. He had a horse and buggy which he mortgaged seven or eight times, managing tha while to keep possession of them. He borrowed wbere he could and failed to pay. He got publio men of means to indorse his paper and when this resort failed he forged their Indorsements and got money anyhow, Ha had a weakness for Senators and adorned his notes with tbe counterfeit slg natures of Hale, Van Wyck, Cameron and other rich Senators of that day. The forging of Van Wyck's name brought about, the explosion.

Nearly every bank in town had some of these Senatorial me mentoes. Bank officials held a meeting, and through Trusdell's smooth plausibility and promises to reform, were persuaded not to proseor.te, but to give nim another chance. President Thompson of tbe Metropolitan National, to save tbe bank, em ployed Trusdell as a runner for the bank, half his salary to go on tbe indebtedness. In two months he managed to unload another 1 1,000 of fraudulent paper on tbut bank. THE DEAD BROTHER-IN-LAW.

The Little Operation That Woke Good People of Syntcuse Up the Stracusb (N. February 20. Two years ago this month, there appeared in this city a man giving the name or It art well p. Heath. Ho called upon Lucus M.

Ktnne, Secretary of the Woodlawn Cemetery As ociation, and said that his brother-in-law, J. L. Worden, had died at Ithaca, and that it was bis request that his body be buried in Syracuse. Thereupon Mr. Kinne eon, traced with the stranger for a lot.

Next tbe stranger called upon the Rev. L. Mason Clarke, pastor of the Park Presbyterian hurcb, and engaged him to conduct tbe funeral services over the body of his dead brother-in-law. The man was a good talker and represented himself as a pro fessor of Cornell University. Of course Mr.

Clarke agreed to act. He also gave the stranger a letter to Under taker M. Ryan, who at the time was Presl dent of the Onondaga Undertakers' Asso ciation. The stranger, with his letter from Mr. Clarke, presented to Mr.

Ryan what ho said was his card. It read Hartwell P. Heath." He also presented in verifies Hon of what he said a copy of the Ithaca JnurnnL in which appeared a death notice of John Lawrence Wordun. The bodv he told Mr. Kyan would arrive the next day.

He selected a burial casket and arranged for the funeral on the most extensive and costly plan, saving that tbe arrangements at libaca were oi tbe most meager kind and that the body would probably arrive here in a rough box. He told Kyim be desired that his brother-in-law should have a tine burial and that be had aecured the services of tbe Rev. M. Clarke. On this representation permission was obtained to have the services at Mr.

Ryan's morgue. 1 he stran- next told Mr. Rvau that he had a chock or $450 on the First National Bank of Ithaca, and if he would step witn mm up to the Bank of Syracuse ho would get it cashed. Mr. Ryan did so, indorsing the check, and Heath offered mm tne mnerai expensos, but so impresseu waa njan with the man's appearance that be de clined, saying that he nv.gbl seine when tho body arrivea.

Chief of Police Wright says that be will send to Kansas for tbe man, for whom he holds a forgery warrant. Trusdell is well known in Elniira, N. where, through being the editor of the TcU-jram, be made many friends. The Trkvmm management took Trusdell from the Eimira Reformatory, wbere he had served a term. Trusdell left the Idrgram shortly after he was given his absolute release and went West, where it was supposed by hia friends that he bad been very successful.

BunLlw, February 20. The resolution providing for the repeal of tbe law expel ling Jesuits from Germany was read the third time and passed the Reichstag this aiternoon. IBs passage of the. measure was received with cheers by the members of the center or Catholio party. The Con servatives, the members of tbe Reichs-parte and the Na.

tonal Liberals voted against the resolution. It is not expected, however, that It wilt become a law, as the Bundesrath, which has heretofore always refused to consent to repeal of the laws, is not expected to ano tion the resolution. The bill for the ex pulsion of the order from Germany was passed by the Reiohatag on June 10, 1872, by a vote of 13 1 to 93, and was promulgated on July 6th. The supporters of the rneas-ure based their advocacy of it on tbe activ- ity of the Jesuits on behalf of the Papal supremacy. In December, 1803, Count Hompesch, the leader of tbe Center, introduoed a bill to repeal the anti-Jesuit laws, whloh passed its third reading by a small majority, but the Federal Council failed to give effeot to the repeal.

SEIZED FOR ALIMONY. Charles Maubec in Trouble Through Ignoring a Court Mandate. Failing to Pay His Divorced Wife the Monthly Stipend Ordered, His Property Is Sequestered. New York, February 20, Charles Msu- bec, a wealthy wine merohant, and a mem ber of the firm of Carpey Maubec of this city and San Francisco, has refused to com' ply with the decreo of tbe Court of Com-mon Pleas, which awarded his wife a di vorce from him and directed him to pay her an alimony of $350 a month and counsel fees of 1,000. The decree of the Court rnquired him to give a bond of $10, 000 for the payment of alimony, and this he has neglected to furnish.

It is charged that soon after the decree was granted ho left the city and went to New Orleans to avoid the consequences of his refusal to comply with the decree of the court, Application was made to-day to Judge Pryor for the appointment of a receiver for his property in proceedings for its sequestration, in order to satisfy Mrs. Maubeo's claim for alimony and that of her lawyer for his fees. As tbore was no opposition the motion was granted. Mrs. Maubeo was married to Mr.

Maubec in San Francisco, in 1888. She had pre viously been tbe wife of John Shawhan, to whom she was married In 1858. She says aha bad (1,000,000 at the time of her sec ond marriage, but when her husband separated from her sbe was almost penniless. Sbe is now suing Mrs. Bowman, whom she name as co-respondent in tbe divorce suit, to recover $25,000 damages for alienating ber husband's affections.

ORANGES FOR GLADSTONE. The Ex-Premier, President and Others Presented With California Fruit. Sax Bernardino. February 20. In about two weeks, or the shortest time it is possible to make between Sarr Bernardino, California, and Hawarden Castle, England, the Uight Honorable William Gladstone will receive a box of Highland oranges, sent by John J.

Valentine, President -of the Wells-Fargp Express Company, as the finest oranges grown In this State. Next Wednesday 1'resident Cleveland will re ceive a box of the same fruit. Each box will be marked with the name of grower and of the place grown. These boxes, together with 1 80 others. leave the Santa Fe depot to-morrow oven-ing.

Speaking for his cenpany, Mr. Prid-ham, tbe Superintendent at Los Angeles, said: We have been sending oranges to the East and Europe for the past five vears. every year sending the best we could had. One cf the boxes from Highland will be sont direct to Mr. Gladstone, and another to President Cleveland.

The ether 130 boxes go to wen-Known rauroaa and steamboat Presidents and managers in this country and abroad. "Our idea Is not to send $2 or $3 worth ef orange, to some wealthy msn who will turn them over to his butler with instructions to use what be wants. We send them to intelligent men as specimens of what California can do ia the raising of oranges to men who will not hesitate te extol tbe State. Indeed, our only motive is to advertise Southern California as the garden spot of the United States. We find that this plan attracts capitalista and others, and we shall continue to pursue it." PRONOUNCED UTTERLY FALSE.

BLUM ENBERiTbTSM I SS ED Sentence of the Court-Martial in the Cavalry Captain's Case. The Sentence Approved by Governor Budd Convicted of Having Falsified Pay and Muster Rolls. Sacramento, February 20.

Orders were issued to-day from the Adjutant-Gsneral's office announcing that Captain S. P. Blu- snenberg (retired) of San Francisco, formerly commander of the First Troop avalry in that city, had been found guilty by a general court-martial of having signed false certificate in which he certified that a pay-roll on which were the names of five persons purporting to have been on duty at Oakland during the strike in July last was correct, but which the court-martial has decided was not correct, be- can.e the men were absent at the times mentioned in the pay-roll. Blumenberg was also charged with hav ing knowingly male false muster and pay rolls, conduct to the prejudice of good order and military discipline, and conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman. He was acquitted of these charges.

The sentence of the court-martial is that Blumenberg be discharged from tbe service of the State of California. The sentence bas been approved by Govsrnor Budd. on a high terraoe. He sat down ana chatted with bis wife about the women at the convention, telling of various things that had boen said and done. Suddenly he gasped, clapped bis hands to his heart and fell back unconscious.

Frederick Douglass was bora in Tucka- near Easton, Talbot county, in February, 1817. His mother was a negro slave and his father a white man. Doug lass was a slave on tbe plantation of Colonel Edward Lloyd until, at the age of ten years, be was sent to Baltimore to live with a relative of his master. Here he learned to read and write. His master allowed him to hire his own time for $3 a week, and he found employment in a shipyard.

In accordance with a resolution be had long entertained be fled from Baltimore and slavery September 3, 1838. He made bis way to New York and thence to New Bedford, Masa where he was married and lived for two or three years, supporting himself by laboring on the wharves and in various workshops. It was bere that he changed his name from Lloyd to Douglass. He seized every opportunity available to secure a better education, and in this was greatly aided by William Llovd Garrison. His first step to notoriety was taken in the summer of 1841, when be attended an anti-slavery convention at Nantucket and made a speeeh which was so well received that ha was offered the agency of the Mas sachusetts Anti-Slavery Society.

In this capacity he traveled and lectured through the New England States for four years, His graphic description of the miseries of slavery, and his eloquent protests against tbe system attracted large audiences.
