An Ancient Copy of tne Pennsylvania Gazette and What It Contains. On a recent visit to Macon the proprietor of the Mok.vi.vg News came across an histore il curiosity, which he had the good I fortune to secure.

It is proba ly the only copy, or one of hut few, of that date extant. The paper is a four-page sheet, with two columns to a page, tne columns being inches wide and 9 inches 1 ng, and contain only sixty-eight lines each. The entire paper is only 9x14 inches, and contains less matter than three columns of the Morning News.

The coat of arms of Great Britain is at the head of the first page and underneath is the following line: Containing the Freshest Advices, Foreign and Dornestick.

Ben Franklin believed in advertising himself, and he to up a column und a bait of tho tuird page, advertising all the Sold by and tho stationery and notions he kept for sale.

A likely young Negro Fellow, by Trade a Bricklayer and Plalsterer. has had the Small Pox Enquire of the Printer A UNSAVORY RECORD A Mistake Which May Make Wyoming Democratic. From the York Timet.

Cheyenne, April Harrison has made a mistake in appointing Francis E. Warren governor of Wyoming territory. Warren is not only notoriously unfit, but is a constant menace to the continuance of republican rule in the territory. The President will find this out one of these days. hen Mr.

Cleveland was elected, Warren was governor of the territory. He had fitted uu the executive office in re style, an 1 througn (he lavish display of whisky and cigars had made it more of a resort for men of leisure than place for the trausne ion of mattem of state. He was one of the cattle barons of Wyoming, and like the others had secured a good many sections of government laud. and by fencing iu the alternate sections had doubled his stock range and materially diminished the public domain. He was a capitalist, and prominent in all the monopoly corporations which have cursed the territory and retarded its progress.

He was the abettor of the Union Pacific in all its schemes, and the Union Pacific had at the outret of its career in Wyoming stolen all the coal fields, soda lakes and other deposits of natural wealth, and then put hundreds of men at work in the mines, and robbed them of half tboir earnings under the infamous laws its tools iu the legislature enacted. Warren was a wily politician, and took good care to feather his own nest. He was alwavs iu office of sonio kind, and wheu lie traveled was in a special car of the Union Pacific which cost him nothing, ft was during udmiuistration that the famous Hock Spring massacre occurred. There were just fourteen irresponsible boys aud young men engaged in that fiasco. Before this half-armed mob of hoodlums 1,300 Cliiiioiiien tied like she-p, after sett ng lire to their own quarters, in the cellars of which a score of Celestia stupefied with opium, were lying with their heads burie 1 in the earth overdue the effects of the drug.

Those wretches perished in the (lamer, and their deaths were charged to tee while miners. Warren at one? called on the President for troops, who wore sent to reinstate the Chinamen in tho mines, ami were permanently stationed at tho springs in quarters officially known as Camp Pile Buttes. Then began tho work on the part of the Uui ui Pacific of freezing out the white minors, it is a notorious fact that during the following winter the families of the millers were arly starved to uth, and would either have starvt bui for the food and clothing sent them from Cheyenne aud other cities in the territory where indignation 'meetings were held aud relief funds raised, it is equally notorious tbit the sheriff of Sweetwater county could, if hu had been permitted to do so, THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, APRIL 17, 1889. have preserved order at Rock Springs and I afforded all the protection ecessary to hfe and property. But this was not according to the programme.

Warren was also governor of Wyoming during the strike which occurred at Laramie City in June of the following year, when tne Union Pacific was permitted to import cirloads of Pinkerton men, who wore sworn in as deputy United States marshals, and armed with Winchester rifles to overawe shop and tram men, nearly every one of whom owned his home in the city, and would have prevented any riot or destruction of company property had it threatened in self-interest Tims the name of Warren came to represent monopoly rule. it was during his reign that the Wyoming Stock tne greatest incubus that ever appeared in the territory, flourished. This corporation arrogated to itself the power to rule the range. It ran down and captured men accused of minor offenses and either hanged or shot them without any trial or process of law whatever. The ary of the association declared that the citizens of Wyomiug wera trespassers on the range, which the Almighty had given to the stockmen for their herds, and refused to instruct his agnate, who were paid from the county treasuries, to respect the laws of any municipality.

arren was displaced by President Cleveland for fencing government land, and Baxter was made But the latter did not with the monop lists, and thirty days after his appointment he was removed through the misrepresentations of friends. Then Thomas Moonlight, who had been at the head of the democratic state ticket in Kansas iu tne preceding campaign, was appointed veruor of the territory, to the secret jov of republicans as well as democrats. Gov. Moo came to yoniing to admiuister the laws, and soon found that lie was expected to do so only in so far ns they represented the Union Pacific and the cattle ring. He had been a soldier in the war, aud bad participated in the early struggle for freedom in Kansas, and wheu he found that hts determination to conduct an honest administration meant war, he braced himseif for the struggle.

When the territorial assembly convened in JatiUTry, 1888, the territorial press was arrayed against the rule, but ti majority in both branches were either members of the association or under its control. A few days later the two Cheyenne dailies, for vaius received, changed their tune and sang th praises of the The vernor in his message strongly urged the repeal of the infamous stock law. It was evident that something had to be done, for the outrages committed on the range had aroused the indignation of the people. So toe association members of the assembly prepared a bid wnich, although innoceut on its face, was worse than the old one, aud passed it. Gov.

Moonlight promptly vetoed The finding that he was proof against bribery, the emissaries of the cattle barons sent him anonymous letters of the most outrageous character, threatening him with personal violence, social ostracism, and abiut every other form of punishment they could think of. But Gov. Moonlight was not intimidated, and the sturdy maintenanc of his position resulted in the passage of a ia-v which estopptd payment of Ho agents of a private from tti9 county treasuries and prohibit and the so-called stock detectives from doing many tilings they had formerly done without quetion. The chief detective resigned, and the association itself virtually went to pieces in disgrace. A law was als enacted, on the recommendation, prohibiting the importation into the territory of Pinkerton men.

He subsequently a gallant fight against the biggest steal ever perpetrated from the territorial treasury, but it was finally ffacted through a combination of republicans and democrats, who were the tools of Warren and uis friends. The territorial assemblymen went home in disgrace, while Gov. Moonlight was praised by the re-pectable elements of both parties. Monopoly hid its head, the territory prospered, arid the enthusiastic residents began to look ferwa'd to statehood. Tne parties were very evenly divided, the republicans having a small, but safe majority so long as the ring rule was not in force.

Had a man of character beau place 1 in the executive chair by president Harrison the future state would be republican without doubt, but now the outlook is changed. A governor with a inouoply and record like keen his party in power very long. Alton landlordism will again exclude the honest settler, the range a ill again be rul -d by the patrol, aud if Harrison persists in retaining Warren, decent iicaus will abandon their party, and Wyoming will bo safe to the democracy as a territory and as a state for yen's to come. SUDDEN CORNER IN WINDOWS. Glimpses at the Centennial Parade Quoted at From $3 to Balconies Cost S3OO Apiece.

From the York Herald. Most persons who nave plows to let along the line of the centennial parade seem to be going into the thing with the idea of getting a competence iutwodays. If the show lasted a week they would probably expect to make enough to eurich their relations also. A good big window Broadway or Fifth avenue is batter than a block of stock the Golco ida mnss. By the time the procession starts it will be better than two counties in Golconda.

There was a strong upward tendency in the window market yesterday, a id the bull movement threatens to irry prices out of sight before the end of this weak. Persons who rented their windows for at 8 could have got $75 at noon and SIOO at night. Tho farther up town you went the higher the prices climbed. Iu the region of Wall street the demands of the window brokers only temporarily deprived the applloantof his breath. At Fifth avenue aud Forty-sixth street he commonly tell into a swoon.

The cunning speculator went up and and wn the line of march weeks ago und gobbled most of the available sites fir speculators. Down town most of the stores and offices were pre-empted by their its for the use of their families. Wherever there is a vacant office or anew building, however, it will be utilized. In some cases the janitors will turn a few honest double eagles bv renting chairs in tho windows. Along Wall street and lower Broadway tho highest price mentioned for such ao mn datioris is $3.

A vacant store window iu that neighborhood rents for $35 or S3O. At Broadway an i Thomas street a box of an office, perhaps eight feet square on the second floor, with only one window, rented for $75. For a room twice as huge, with two windows, sls') was refused. THE HIGHER YOU GO THE WORSE IT IS. About Prirce str et several store windows have br $101) and sec md and third floor offices $75 each.

Near Houston street a second story office with six iudows brought SM) for the two days. At Nos. 057 and 05!) Broadway is a large, double livestory building. For the useof the windows in it for the two davs a speculator offered Tho offer was refus'd. The proprietors wanted the windows for their own families.

Next, and lor two small show windows iu a shop rented for each, and three windows on tho second 11 hroug.it $135. For single seats in tho windows of there places from $3 to $lO was asked. In Waverly place, near Broadway, throe windows on the third floor brought and SIOO was paid for tho whole fourth floor. A few so its in the big stand Washington square were still to he had at $3, IT WILL COST TO SEE THE SHOW. Tho harvest twin windows in is part of town was nothing to tho golden st res that ll.lel tho exchequers of a little farther up.

At lhirte uta itreit an 1 Fifth av nue $55) was paid for one wind for the two days. At Hi) Fifth avenue a single seat brought S3O. A balcony between urtenu aid Fifeonth streets routed for S3OO for on? day. A window on the fourth floor brought (100 for one day. Seats in the street stand to lie at Thirteenth street sol I readily at $lO.

Two window. in the second story at No. 335 Fifth avenue were tented for $350 for the two days, and $5,000 was offered and refused for the building at Fifth avenue and Twentieth street. Two hundred dollars was the price of single windows between Twenty-uxth and Twenty-seventh streets, end there was no grumbling about paying it. A lucky woman secured the re fusil early in the morning of a window at Thirty-fourth street for $l5O.

Before night $250 had been off ered for it, aud a speculator promised to find a taker next week a $350. Around Madison square store windows were being rented all the way from S2OO to SSOO. All the seats in the Madison square stand were sold long at from $3 to $lO. Single rooms along Fifth avenue from the square to Central park were readily rented at SIOO a double rooms double money. Some of the rooms were rented at SIOO for the first day ami SSO for the second.

For some reason there is less demand ail along the line for the second day. THE HOTELS WILL GET A SHARE, TOO. The hotels will get the fattest profits. Very few of them have an inch of room to rent at any price. At the Astor you get a quarter section of the billiard room for love nor money.

All the rooms were engaged three months ago. The arrangement for rooms from which any view of the parade could be had was $5 a day for no shorter time than five days before and four days after the parade, inclusive. Most of the rooms have been taken under these terms by downtown business men. The hotel has the privilege of renting the rooms up to the time of the parade. At the Metropolitan ail the firs: and second floor rooms went long ago at SSO a day.

Rooms with two windows on the upper floors brought SSO, and those with one window $25. The Grand Ce itral got SIOO a day for its lower rooms, and and SSO a day for the upper rooms clear to the roof. At the New York hotel S2JO a aay was paid for the best rooms. From that "dizzy hight the price descended to $25 a day for rooms for which you get a glimpse of the passing show by craning your neck out of a window. The Fifth Avenue will be almost filled with the committees, the invited guests aud other people of prominence, so that there will be comparatively little for the outside public.

You can probably get a room there now and gaze on the parade to your content for $250 a dav. Yon can tdo that at the Hoffman, because about 500 other persons have been before you, and paid from $25 to S3OO a day for all the rooms in the house. There is scarcely a private hotel on the avenue clear to the park that has a front room left even at SIOO a day, which is the price most, of them got. oms ou the side streets can be had for from $5 to $25 a day, and you can see President Harrison anyway out of your side window. THEY MIGHT MAKE MONEY, BUT THEY The Windsor, the Brunswick and the Albemarle have wit drawn voluntarily from the race.

They have not rented rooms to auy except their regular customers, and have not advanced their usual rates. All their available spne was engaged long ago. The IV ta isor has since declined S4OO a day for some of its rooms, and fabulous prices seats oa its ilcony and in its first floor windows. These seats will be reserved for the guests of the house who have back rooms, and will not be rented at auy price. The Brunswick will rent toe seats iu its restaurant windows.

All rooms at have been engaged at advanced rates. A question raised by several hotel keepers yesterday was tiio influx of visitors from out of town is anywhere near as big as it promise! i)mv be, where will the people be The hotels on Broadway and Piftu avenue will have to be taken out f. account. Their accommodations have already been secured by New Yorkers who want to see the parade. Tne rooms a- uio of the other iio els were engaged bv out of wn people long ago.

The -mly solution of the problem that the hotel meu could find was that the great A tier boarding house would have to come to the rescue. FOR KILLING HIS UNCLS. A Graduate of Princeton Convicted and Sentenced to Five Years in Prison. From the York Sun. Gloucester Court House, April F.

Ross, who murdered uis uncle, George Hughes, while the latter 1-iy in lied, was found guilty to-dav of murder in the second degree aud sentenced by tne jury to five imprisonment in the penitentiary. Thus ends one oi the mo sensational trials in Virginia's history. AH the persons concerned are well known iu this state aud in Maryland. Koss, the murderer, is only 32 years of age, a graduate of college, and a young man of fine iie is a native of New York, Immediately after tukiug his degree uo cane to Virginia, and by iuwtation of his uncle and aunt, Mr. anil Mrs.

Uehrge Hughes, lived at their house. Some years ago lie went to Baltimore to practice law and opened an office. One year later Mr. Hughes moved to Baltimore to have an operation performed on his wife, who was suffering with a tumor. She died some time afterward.

During his stay in Baltimore ROSS became acquainted with Miss Rhoda Shipley. The courtship was successful and the marriage followed iu August la-t. She is the daughter of Francis M. Shipley of William E. Hooper aud verv handsome.

Mr. Hughes, who was abou 65 years of age, and very wealthy, attended tho wedding aud invited the young couple to come to Gloucester and live with him. He said he was lonely since his wife died. The invitation was accepted, and soon the trio ere installed in the Hughes residence. For a time they lived happily together, and only recently the rich uncle erected a larger house and furnished it hands nely.

The young couple were very popular aud the acknowledged leaders in local society. About four months ago Ross aud his uncle fell out, and it was noticed by tho neighbors that hey were not 011 good terms. Hugh often nto uis meals at the hotel in the village. It was thought at the time that ie young man was dissatisfied with his allowance, his income being insufficient to gratify tin ambition. Ho had represented the county iu the state legislature, was already a prominent republican politician, and wanted to climb the ladder of fame at a re rapid rato.

This probably was the original cause of the coolness which culminated in tho killing of Hughes. The crime was committed at about 7 p. m. on Thutsday, Feb. )4.

The old man hail been ailing all day, and went to bed early. At about 8 Koss walk and iuto tho kitchen aud told his wife that Uncle George was dead. He telephoned to the coroner and met that official at door, leading the way to the room in the dead man lay. Ross, quietly puffing away at his pipe, said he hail shot 11 agues, and pointed to the pistol lying at the loot of the bed. At the timo lie refused 10 amigo any reasons for tho crime, but at the examination two duys afterward he nut to a long statemout, in which ho accused Hughes of having made Indecent proposals to wile, ami of attempt ing lihertios with her.

Ho said 110 had heard rumors before, but on the day of the murder his wifo coutinned the story. Said he: was lying in bed smoking his pipe and holdiug iu ids hand a small volume. I closed one of the folding doors to tile room that was open, lie aske.l 1110 what I wanted. I domauded an oxp unation of tho matter. He told me 110 did nut understand.

I said: you He theu to a sitting posture, an i said: know Rhoda ha-, tohl you all, aud 1 told her what I would Ho then said: me pistol; 1 will shoot I told him. 1 will do it Then I shot This was the eYide.ll offered by tho defense at tho trial. The prosecution endeavored to prove that Ross had fearei that his uncle would Chang" his will that ha i made in his favor, and that the murder had been preme iStated. Testimony aa offered to show tbat the old man was asleep at the time the fatal shot was fired, and not aw ake, as claimed by Ross. The trial lasted two weeks, and every point was bitterly contested by the defen e.

counsel were Gan. William B. Taliaferro and Robert McCandlish. Throughout the trial the young wife has clung to ner husoand, and each day found her seated by his side in the little dingy court room. When the verdict was rendered the face remained impassive as ever, but his wife broke into tears and wept bitterly.

Hughes, the aged victim, was at one time in the seed business in Paterson, J. He moved to this place about fifteen years ago. CURRANTS ARK SMALL. RAPES. A Common Krror Regarding One of the Ingredients of a Fruit Cake.

From Bazar. A frequent error among those interested in cookery is to suppose that the imported articles called currants, used in fruit cakes, mince pies, plum puddings, buns, and the like, are fruit resembling our own black or red currants' dried. In reality these dried fruits which we call currants are just as much raisins as anything that is offered under that specific name, being only a dried grape, although of an exceedingly small variety, each grape no bigger than a common pea, and each bunch but two or three inches long. Tueso little grape bunches are picked and dried in the sun, and are so full of saccharine matter that the exuding sugar crystallizes them into a compact form of sufficient hardness to require considerable strength to open the mass and prepare the fruit for packing, they being then a second time compressed, this time by means of treading with the teet, which processes perhaps, account for a great deal of the dirt and gravel usually to be found packed with them. The grapes grow all through the islands and adjacent regions of the Grecian archipelago, and being exported originally from Corinth, they were called at first corimhs, which word gradually corrupted into currants, till the primitive plant and its fruit were forgotten in remembrance of the little round berry of our own gardens.

which might be dried from now till doomsday without developing enough sugar to melt them together as we find the Zante currants meltedC He Wanted the Mark Removed. From the New York Tribune. give a thousand said a wellto-do New Yorker toe other day, have that mark and he held out a well shaped and weli-cared-for hand, on the back of which, between the thumb and first finger, was tattooed a big blue anchor. I was a little fool at school, with my head full of stories of adventure, mv hignest ambition was to go to sea. An old sailor who lived in the village tattooed about a dozen of us on the slv, and I remember the lies I told my mother, as I kept my hand done up in a rag, pretending 1 had cut it, till the sore heaied.

Then she gave me such a thrashing as broke up my plan, fortunately, to have a fine red and blue heart done on the hack of the other. The disfigurement has caused me no end of annoyance since, and has cost me considerable oaey for gloves, which I always wear, winter and summer, though I detest the iu warm weather.
