How the Telephone was Invented—The Pro- fessor Believes the Instrument Well Suited for Long Distance—The Telephone Still in Its Infancy. Special Correspondence of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, July 24.—The recent decision by the officials of the Patent Office in regard to tele- phones is understood to be very favorable to Prof. Bell. It settles in his favor one of the long con- tested points, and sets at rest much of the tedious and costly litigation which has haunted him and his financial friends for so long a time. Vet he will not talk about it. Like most invent- ors, he leaves the talking to his lawyers. On any other subject than the legal aspect of the ele- phone, however, he is a charming conversational- ist. A tall, well built man, with broad shoulders, dark complexion, full, black beard, hair slightly streaked with gray at the sides where it is brushed back from the temples, keen black eyes which sparkle with enthusiasm or flash with merriment as he speaks, a phystque well develoved, a man- ner atonce frank,cordial and extremely agreeable. This is the sort of a man your correspondent found him, as he called at bis residence last evening. vate secretary; will you wait in the study?” Up the broad oaken stairs the servant led the way to the study, just beneath the roof, located high, so that it might be out of reach of the bustle below. From the front window you look out upon Scott Circle below, where the old hero, astride his charger, keeps constant vigil, his eye forever upon the White House, as if to see that no harm shall come to the Nation’s Chief Magistrate. From an- other you can get an excellent view of Senator OCameron's residence, which stands just across the street, and catch a glance, too, of Pendleton's, Robeson’s and Windom’s palatial resiaences be- vondl. THE STUDY isa spacious room filled with books and maga- zines and scicntific works of all sorts and sizes. A large desk strewn with papers occupied one side of the room. In the middle of the room wasa table filled with books and papers, some in French, some in English; for the professor isas much at home in oneas the other. In one corner of the room, upon an easel, were some life-sized outline engravings, showing the organs of speech. Upon a table near by was a telephone connected with some twisted copper wires whRhcamein through the natural wood finish ofthe room. A few fine steel engravings ornamented the walls of the room, and in the large bay window were several cases of drawers filied with slips of paper. J am sorry to have kept you waiting,” said the professor, as he came ina few minutes later and took a seat on a comfortable sofa. “The teie- phone decision? Well, really, I donot know any- thing more about that than you do, I have not read it yet. 1 have just received a copy of it,” and he took up a book of a couple hundred pages trom the tabie. It is toobig a thing to digest at a single sitting. Lou see Have only jnat begin reading it. I ean tell you, though, that I am very _— to see some signs of the end of this long liti- gation. ou are still devoting your attention to the study of electricity, are you, professor?“ “Oh, yes.

I am surprised to find the number so great. lrefer not alone to prmted books and works well known to those engaged in this line of research, but to others ur this subject of which littie has been known. find many productions upon this subject produced before scientific asso- ciations, or for a limited number of investigators only. These contain much valuable information, the resuit of experiment and careful research, and I find them very important. Why,” he said with a laugh, ‘I often find after I make what think to be a discovery—and it is a discovery with me ail the same—that somebody else has discoy- ered the same thing long ago, before | was born. So I set to work some time ago to make a collec- tion of the titles of works written and printed up- on this subject. AND I FIND THE TASK an enormous one. Of course 1 must cover the subject of sound as well as that of electricity, and the result is that I havea list of ever forty thousand works upon this subject,and am not nearly at the end yet. 0 Those{ drawers,” he said, poluting to the bay window, contain the results of my labor for months past and I don’t know when I am going to reach the end. I consider the time weil spent, however, for I shall havea valua- ble collection at the end.” „How long has the telephone been in success- ful operation, Professor?’ “About ten years.“ “And how many are in use in this country now?’ “That I cannot say; I should think a half mil lion, however, perhaps more.“ “And the demand continues?” “Oh, yes; the demand is so great that the man- ufacturers find difficulty in supplying it.“ 4 “You consider the telephone in its infancy, zen?“ “I think the system will be much more com- pee than it now is. Indeed it would be much urther advanced now but for the opposition of the telegraph companies. In Germany, now, tele- are much used for telegraphic purposes. n small towns where it does not pay to keep a skilied operator, they are used by the companies. It we had this sort of a system in connection with our telegraphic organization. such a suspension of business by means of a strike as that through which we are now passing would be — Every man would be an operator and a suspen- sion of business by a strike wouid be impossible.” “Do you consider the use of the telephone for long distances practicable, then?“ „Entirely so; more so than the use of the tele- graph instrument.

Mr. Gresham, seeing that the petition was signea Hack “Brown, attorney for the Republicans of x Col. Brown whether he was a res- ident of Atlanta. No, sir,” said Brown. How far the city do you live?” asked Mr. Gresh- am, willing to hear him if he lived in the same About 170 miles, 5 said Col.

He also teld him that the Post-office department had too to do to permit of trifling over a petition by an attorney who lived : ‘ . HUNDREDS OF MILES 1 his constituents. That was an exercise of the rights of petition entirely novel to him. It Was au innovation he did not propose to counte- aa. Of course the Colonel left in a huff.

A Couple of Actors Indulge in a Fight Over a Dudish Ailusion. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. New Yor«k, July 2—The monotony of ite om the pavement in front of the Morton House, Union square, was relieved last evening by a first-class fight between Wm. Coffer, the juvenile man of the Madison Square Theater, and Frank Mordaunt, the hydro-dyna- mite tragedian, who traveled the country last sea- son ag the Star Tarry Toplight in the famous drama of “Old Shipmates.” There were fifty members of the dramatic profession on the square at 10:30 last nicht, and Mr. Mordaunt was one of them. He was dressed in his ordinary faultless style, and was expatiating upon the uses of 8 THE MODERN DDR. w . Wibliam Coffer came along and in- umber of first-class trage Between Coffer and M re had Been a long-standing feud; it is said, and when the latter laughed sarcastically at Cof- fer’s coat and made some remarks about the pro- priety of stuffing dudes and putting themin the windows Mr. Coffer waxed wroth. “I wish,” said he, approaching the gigantic Mordaunt, “that you'd mind your own business.“ „Sir,“ exclaimed Mr. Mordaunt, “do you know whom you are addressing?” 4 “Yes,” replied Coffer, “gm addressing a blad- er.“ Mr. Mordaunt’s bosom heaved, but still he con- trolled himself. and, raising on his toes, looked down on the puny Coffer with significant disdain. Then he began making game of Mr. Coffer’s curly — and asked him if he had had it cut that way. er SWALLOWED THE TAUNTS and walked away, but Mordaunt followed him up, using some violent epithets, and finally snapping his tingers under the nose of his victim. Mr. Cof- fer, white with rage at the tantalizing treatment he had received, drew back his leit hand and let it fly. The blow was well calculated, and landed on the bridge of Mr. Mordaunt’s nose. He staggered backward a few steps and fell flat on his back. Mr. Coffer then planted a stinger on Mordaunt’s ear, supplemented with a terrible blow in the eye, and the stateiy form of Mordaunt feil in a heap on the sidewalk. THE POLICE ARRIVED in time to lift the bleeding and badly battered Mordaunt to his feet and carry him into the Mor- ton house, . * HILTON’S CRUSADE. It is Put in Practice at a Grand Garden—All Israelites Exciuded. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. SARATOGA, July 26.—Over 6,000 invitations were issued for the garden party at the Grand Union Hotel this afternoon and evening, and fully 5,000 persons attended. A curious and significant fact in connection with the garden party is that not one invitation has been issued to an Israelite. It will be remembered that at the garden party last year Israelites stopping atthe other hotels were admitted, but this year a different rule has been adopted. Word was sent to Congress Hall, the Jewish headquarters this year, that Mr. Clairs would be happy to receive Messrs. Clements and Knox, the proprietors, and such of their guests as they considered fit to associate with the guests of the Grand Union, but all Israelites MUST BE EXCLUDED from thelist. The same message was sent to the United States, and all the, other leading houses. Intense excitement exists in Saratoga to-day. It was generally believed that Mr. Hilton would gradually rescind his rule in regard to the admis- sion of Jews at the Grand Union, but the present action shows that he intends to draw the line still Closer than heretofore. The garden party was un- questionably a brilliant and successful affair, the ladies’ costumes being bewildering in their rich- ness and elegance. A solitary Jewish gentleman appeared on the scene, but left 9 remarking ey to your correspondent, “This is Judge ilton’s revenge for failing in the dry goods trade. it is rather puerile and the Jews can stand it.” EX-TREASURER POLK. \ He is Found Guilty and Sentenced to Twenty Years’ Imprisonment.

The Authorities Hope to Avert the Threatened Famine. — Street Sprinkling Almost Entirely Suspended —The Water Famine Considered in Its San- itary Aspect—Talks with the Mayor and Water Commissioner. The experiment of cutting off temporarily the supply of water to the sprinkling carts, and pro- hibiting the use of hand hose, in order to give the Compton Hill reservoir a chance, is proving a suc- cess,and Water Commissioner Whitman is de- lighted. At nine o’clock yesterday morning the water in the reservoir was 157 feet above the city directrix. At four o’clock in the afternoon it had gained .15 of a foot, and at nine o’elock this morn- ing the observation showed the water to stand at 158 feet, a gain of a full foot, or upwards of 5,000,- 000 gallons in the twenty-four hours. If the terms of the Mayor’s proclamation are rigidly enforced, before the end of the ten days, there will be sufficient water in the reservoir to meet any emergency. In the meanwhile THE STREETS HAVE DRIED UP, and the suffering consequent upon fiying clouds of ulverized limestone is beginning to be felt. The uxury of sprinkled streets was never before so thoroughly appreciated as now. In some locali- ties households must accept the simoon or close their doors and windows and swelter and suffo- cate. On the streets faced by retail stores the merchants are complaming of damage to their stocks by the dust. Pedestrians are unanimous in their complaints at the state of affairs. No one seems to have appreciated what a wooling ef- foct street sprinkling has upon the atmosphere and the comfort of pedestrians. The worst phase, however, of the water-saving experiment is ITS SANITARY ASPECT. Dr. Leudeking, clerk of tire Board of Health, said this morning; This stoppage of the free use of Water is a very serious matter. Our sewers are at no time any too clean, but now, with a ver limited supply of water in them, there is no tell- ing how much sid@kness and disease will brought on by sew gas, which will form in mul- tiplied volumes. 1imal and vegetable matter in the streets will decay in full force now, and in noisome localities disease will be more rapidly bred than ever. The Board of Heaith will con- sider the matter this afternoon, and will probably recommend the disinfection of dil man-holes and sewer inlets at the expense of the city by the lib- eral use of unsiaked lime, and all housebolders will be requested to sprinkie lime along the gut- ters in the streets and alleys adjoining their premises. A circular letter addressed to all citi- zens will be issued to-morrow or Saturday recom- mending the disinfecting of all cesspovols, out- houses, guttersand alleyways, and a rigid Ob- servance of sanitary rules. There being a large number of nuisances in private cellars, caused generally by defective drain pipes, which the sanitary officers have no opportunity of discover- ing, the matter has been brought to the attention of the Mayor, who has requested the assessor of water rates to instruct his 12 to report all such cases that they may discover while examining water meters. At a time like this every good citizen should become a volunteer sanitary inspector. MAYOR EWING, when called upon this morning, was highly pleased at the receipt of news to the effect that the water in the reservoir is slowly but surely * and that within a week all houses in the district now suffering from short supply will have plenty of water. The Mayor, however, in- tends to rigidly enforce the procla- mation as ssued, as he would have said in the olden time, she goes as she lays.“ No exception will be made in favor of any one. A portion of the people must suffer temporary in- convenience that the whole city may be in a “T have received a large number of complaints, and I see more inthe papers, from peopie who speak of the injustice of charging a cvusumer for water and then falling to supply it, aud some of them talk about damage suits. If any one of them rae the trouble to took at his weter license 6 would see that he is authorized to use water for a house of a certain size for six months froma given date, ‘under and subject to the rules and regulations of said Assessor and. Collector of water rates, and the ordinances of the eity, and without any claim on the part of the holder against the city for a temporary failure in the supply of water.’ ” This morning, WATER COMMISSIONER WHITMAN, having reason to believe that the order against sprinkling-carts had not been implicitly obeyed yesterday, accompanied by President Flad started out and turned off the connection with al cart supply pipes in the business section. The street-sprinkling companies, however, seemed in- clined to actin good faith, and are making arrangements for the partial sprinkling of some sections of the city. he Lafayette Park district was well sprinkled this morning with water received by the St. Louis Street-Sprinkling Company from the running spring at Schnaider's brewery, on Chouteau avenue, west ol Mississippi. This spring is a very large one, and there is a daily wastage of over 300 barrels from it. The same company has also made arrangements to se- cure a limited supply of water from the Camp Spring, at Nineteenth and Pine streets. The four wagons being supphed at this wint, and three of which A. being used n Stoddard addition, bear ‘lar placards announcing “This water is from the Camp Spring at Nineteenth and Pine streets.“ THE SPRINKLING COMPANIES yesterday made application to the Mayor and Chief of the Fire Department for a fire engine to be used in filling the carts, the harbor-boat bung otherwise engaged, but were refused, as an en- gine cannot be spared, An arraugement will be perfected to-day whereby the services of a tug or steamer, with a powerful pump, will be secured, and the dust nuisance at least partially alle- viated. A Post-DISPATCH reporter met CHIEF SEXTON of the Fire Department this — and asked him what he thought of the communication signed. “Citizen” in the Post-DisPATcH of yesterday, He replied emphatically: “I think ‘Citizen’ is a 1; don’t he think that we have to Keep our apparat- us clean and in ordei? Just look at that meter in front of the Sixes house. With three pleces of apparatus and eight horses we use use less water than any one would suppose. The man who reads that meter says he is surprised at the smail amount of water we are using. The .places to watch the water waste is in the alleys where the coachmen wash off carriages and other vehicles. They often go to their meals and go down town, leaving the water running at full head. The Fire Department wont waste any water and you can tell that ‘Citi- zen’ so for me.” AMONG THE COMMUNICATIONS SENT to the Mayor this morning touching upon the dust nuisance was one from an old citizen, who writes: „Although but one day of the ten under which we are enſomed as to the use Of water has passed, it is already evident that we are to sniffer serious- ly from the dust. In view of this fact I would re- spectiully suggest a modification of your order by which, during given hours on each third day durm the coming een days water may be used. Aud further, that on Satur- day next, 28th inst., the permission be given for sprinkling, etc., for the evening hour, say six to seven o’clock, which would tend much to give cleanly relief for the S ne of consumers, y pr y oblem, notwithstanding the conditions upon the face of the license as raised above.

An Unnecessary Wastage. 6 Sr. LOUIS. Mo., July 28, 1883. To the Editor ot the Post-Dispatch: As the rapidly increasing on of our ci has outgrown the capacities our 2 as also the limited amount of brains of our city officers who hold in their hands the management of our city afflairs, would it not be well enough for the Mayor to issue a second proclamation forbid- ding the washing of buggies, both owned by pri- vate families and livery stables, as long as our sick and suffering infants have to de drawn over dusty and scorening pavements. Let this pr mation be generally observed all over the city. There is more water wasted by the hostlers on Lucas place, between Fifteenth and Sixteenth, in washing their horses and carriages with a hose than would sprinkle one-half of this city; and it is an unnecessary waste of water that should be stopped at once. A MOTHER. CUTTING RATES: Railroad Commissioners Considering the Question of Dealings with Scalpers. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. Nxw YorK, July 26.—The Railroad Commis- sioners yesterday continued their deliberations as to what could be done for the protection of the St. Louls lines on the cutting of rates west of Chica- go. It was agreed to localize the difficulty in the West by requesting all western connections be- yond Chicago and St. Louis to discontinue the payment of commissions at all differential points in the East, on west bound business, also the sale of orders or tickets issued by those railroads at the seaboard, generally confine the special concessions which disturb rates to points west of Chicago and St. Louis. Applications for differential fares on second-class business from New York and Ohica- go by way of Urbana or by the Grand Trunk or Baltimore and Ohio and between several points IN THE INTERIOR, such as Indianapolis and St. Louis, were filed, ana, pending their consideration an adjournment was taken to eleven o’ciock to-day. “Are the railroads going to crowd you out of business this time?” a scalper was asked. Not if we are aware of it,” said he. “They have tried to do it before, but we have slipped from under their fingers somehow. You see, a ticket-proker is a necessity to a good many of the roads. When anew line is startedextra inducements must be offered to draw traffic to it, and through ticket agencies they can be best e known to the public. I suppose if all the roads united ag t us we could be stamped out, but OUR SECURITY hes in their lack of unity. Some companies need our co-operation, and are not likely to go into a to push us out of existence. If the others ght us we can take their trade away by offering lower rates. They can hardly ord to unite against us. Besides we deal in tickets which have been purchased from the companies by people who have ceased to have use forthem. It you buy a ticket to New York and a return coupon to any station, aud on reaching here do not choose to go back or prefer doing so ou another route, we will relieve you of your return ticket and pay two-thirds the cost price of it. We wilt sell it at che full rate, which is cheaper than a single ticket can be bought. We make aprofit and the company is the loser. Of course ticket BROKERS ARE PREPARED for these hostile demonstrations Which the rail- roads make from time totime. They have an or- anization extehding all over the country, and it las a Capital of $500,000. It has offices in twenty- three cities. Itcan be understood that those en- gaged in the business will not relinquish it with- out a struggle. FROM CHETOPA. A Big Wind Storm—The Growth of the Town —The Crops. CHETOPA, KAS., July 26.—Last evening, between seven and eight o’clock, a strong wind-storm broke upon us, moving a dwelling-house from the foundation, which had just been inclosed; also tearing down a photograph tent, Knocking off a great deal of fruit and scattering things around generally. There was, however, no damage done. The rain that followed the wind was just the thing for our crops. This will bean exceedingly prosperous season for Southern Kansas. Although wheat was but about one-half crop, it is more than made up by an abundance of almost all kinds of fruit. Apples and peaches are just now abundant in our market; the pear and grape crops will also be large, especially the latter, while THE CORN CROP will simply be immense, Our farmers will have to take down their barns and build greater ones in order to store itaway. Our town just now is on a building boom. A SPLENDID OPERA-HOUSE, costing some $8,000 or 810.000, is going up rapidly, also eight or ten other elegant brick buildings. The post-office was moved into a neat two-story prick building especially built by the postmaster for that purpose. Some fifty or sixty dwelling- houses have been erected this season and more are talked of. And whilst our town is building up rapidly, real estate is also continually advanc- ing. One man, living a few miles from town, bought a fine farm a year ago for $2,200 ana sold it the other day for $3,250, making a clear $1,000 and getting a large crop from it besides. Tlus is only one of many such instances. Gen. Grant once said: “It is no longer bleeding Kansas, but jooming Kansas.” It is now no longer blooming Kansas, but booming Kansas.

— HINTS OF COMPROMISE. A Rumor that the Western Union Will Arbitrate With the Strikers. Ominous Stir Among the Strikers — The Threatened Strike of the Railroad Opera- tors—What is Thought of the American Rapid Company's Compromise—The Strike at Large. An unusual stir was apparent among the striking telegraphers this morning. The leading officers of the Brotherhood had long and earnest consultations with one another, and the body at large was not slow in finding out that something _ of more than usuah, importance was under discus- sion. What it was, however, the leading officers kept to themselves, and the others were left to conjecture its import. Opinion generally was divided between two reports—one that the Brother® hooa were perfecting arrangements for a strike of railroad operators ; the other that they had received reliable intimation that it was within the possi- bilities that the Western Union Company were on the point of making an offer of compromise to the Brotherhood. Each of these possible events is of great importance, That the strike of railroad operators was really threatened required no better evidence than the fact that a gentleman con- nected with the telegraphic department of the Gould railroad system to-day stated to a Post- DIsPATCH reporter that all train-dispatchers, division surperintendents and all the heads of transportation departments had received in- structions to be ready to run trains under the old time-carad system. A member ol the Brotherhood atated that the strikers had no wish to interfere with the rail- road business, but that some of the railroad com- anies were antagonizing them by helping the estern Union Company to do its geueral busi- ness. IF THE STRIKE OF RAILROAD TELEGRAPH OP- ERATORS was ordered all endeavor would be made to ab- stain from interfereace with such railroads as had confined their telegraphic employes to the per- formance of strictly railroad business. On the subject of the Unreatened strike of rail- road telegraphers, Munager E. H. Brown, of the Western Union here, said; “Let them strike. The railroads can get on without them. They did so before and they can do it agalu. The fact oi the matter is that there are five times too many telegraph operators in this country and the more of them chat strike the better for the business. Wherever it is essential for a railroad to have an operator we sbail be able to supply one with ease. e brotherhood have been claiming that they still retained a trump card to play which would paralyze us. I wonder if it is this railroad tele- grapher’s strike. If that is their oniy remaining card I am sorry for them. You can say, however, that whatever their great card is, the Western Uulon will be able to discount it.” „It is reported that the brotherhood are await- ing a proposition of compromise to be made by the Western Union. Is chere anything in this, to your knowledge?“ Mr. Brown seemed either staggered at the knowledge, or at the reporter’s Possession of it. He failed, however, to make as pro ™Pt à denial of the rumor as, possibly, would have been the Case had it been absolutely without foundation, and rather gave the reporter to understand that there might be something in it. After a few moments of careful conference with himself he said: “Oh, there's nothing in it. A compromise of- fered by the company!” „No, uo; simply an offer to compromise, not an offered compromise.” Mr. Brown again studied his inner conscious- ness and then assured the reporter that, in bis opinion, he did not believe the report was true. COL. BAKER, the division superintendent, said that the situr tion was going further in the Western Union’s favor every day. He was still forced to be aston- ished at the mayner in which the old-time opera- tors who had been impressed into service had im- proved since they resumed work. It’s not so much a question of mantpulation of the key as of getting into the run of office dis- cipline—not so much to do the telegraphing as to know just Where to go to do it. For four or five days a new man finds it very awkward, aud the chief operator has to be constantly watching and directing him, but he soon picks up the office sys- tem and becomes thoroughly useful. Our recent experience has been that in four days the rust is rubbed off a man and he is as good as the ordinary run of of operators now on a strike.“ “What will the strike of the American Rapid Company amount to?” “It is only a small concern, and its acceding to ‘the demands of the strikers will not affect the sit- uation. These small companies are Py ane in the East where the population is crowded togeth- er as in Europe, but they can do nothing out here in the West where immense stretches of wire run between the big cities and through a territory which, from a telegraphic point of view, is almost entirely unproductive. Take the line between here an Chicago, for instance. The business done between the two elties is, of course, very great, but I don’t believe any of the interior offices are very profitable. Take, for instance, Alton, Bloomington and such points, they barely pay expenses. Such companies as the American Rapid would not be able to do business over such an unproductive stretch of sone el No, the strikers have gained nothing by their victory over the American Rapid Com- pany.’ In conversation with a striking operator, the re- porter learned that the rotherhood had studied the result of their compromise with the American Rapid Company. and were perfectly satisfied with it. Figured out according to arithmetical rules, it meant an increase in the wages of that company’s operatives of about a little over twenty-one per cent. This compromise was a happy one, also, in that it showed the West- ern Union people just the basis upon which the strikers were prepared to meet them. This would, possibly, save a lot of dickering when the Brotherhood and the Company came together in friendly arbitration. The Western Union were now able to see whata telegraph compahy were ee to pay, and also what the operators were Hing to accept, and with this Knowledge in their possession they would not have any great difficulty in terms with the strikers. On ’Change the s endered by the Western Union was, on the whole, better than it had been since the strike began, although it was still far short of what itshould have been. For a long time this morning there were no quotations from Chicago, and much disquietude was caused in con- sequence. After a while, however, they began to come in and business pickea up accordingly, The interest, to review the situation, centers upon the proposed strike of railroad operators and the intimated proposition of compromise ex- pected from the Western Union, Either one of these events will freshen up the interest in the strike, which has by this time degenerated into an old and not particulariy entertaining story. THE sTRIKE ELSEWHERE. Compromise with the American Rapid Company—New York and Other C ities. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. NEw YORK, July 26.—Two or three men might pass down Broadway together, at almost any time of the day, without attracting any notice, and yet, when Master Workman Campbell, chair- man of the Executive Committee of the Tele- graphers’ Brotherhood, and the rest of the com- mittee passed by the Western Union Building at noon yesterday, they attracted notice from every- body. The Master Workman ascended the steps leading to the American Rapid Telegraph Com- pany’s offices, in the next block. At 2:30 o’clock the Master Workman and the remainder of the committee came down the steps. Mr. Campbell's face seemed particularly joyful, and as soon as the committee met the operators a long hand- 28 followed, But ve minutes afterwards, ‘ * BROADWAY WAS TALKING the American Rapid Telegraph Company, for Master Workman Campbell and the rest of the committee had just agreed with the officials of the company on a compromise, by which 400 of the operators return to work this morning. Su- perintepdent Sherman was seen by a reporter of the World, a few moments after the departure of the Executive Committee. who said: Four hun- dred of men go to work to-morrow men will pe work in this ave tunis ae ae rates will be he last three da ght force on from 8 will af- w the us. Ie will ve may company work. The follow Tulf; so may the Western Union, but Leannot say. Iam so busy now making arran ments for returning chiefs and operators. 0 Western Union building seemed muen the same as on the previous day, until Lhe news was circu- lated that the American Rupid Company had com- promised, and then the telegraphers up stairs and the officiais down stairs grew busier, and every rumor was afloat, some to the effect that the Western Union Would compromise by mid- wight. and others that the company would remain firm though ail the other companies give in. There were not as many hands yesterday as the day before. he operators on the street claimed that many additions had been made to their ranks and the officials up stairs said - THAT THE REASON of the empty desks was because many of the operators had been sent down to the different exehanges in the city. The manager of the line- men was seen and he said that some of the line- men had applied for situations, but that they had all the men at present that they wanted. A rumor to the effect that uli the railroad operators were to go on the strike at a signal from the operators on the Wabash road was circulated. The rail- road company had instituted a series of signals so as to permit the running of trains in case the operators struck. Assistant General Superin- tendent Merriliew was seen iast night by are 9 hed of the World to whom he said that business uthe city was GOING ALL SMOOTHLY. In regard to the break of the american Rapid Company Mr. Merrihbew said he “did not know what would be the effect of the concession, but that on uo condition would the Brotherhood be recognized by the Western Union. I don’t think.” suid he, that the B. & O. will follow the Ameri- can Rapid in recognizing the Brothernood, for their interests are too large.“ Manager Pettingill, of ihe American Rapid Tele- graph Company, stood at the door ot the operat- ing room at ten o'clock last night, busily shaking hands with the returning strikers. The men went in to their desks and began work. One of the op- erators said: “We had NOTHING TO DO with the compromise. We knew nothing of it until we were ordered by the Executive Commit- tee of the Brotherhood to report for work this evening.” The committee managed the mat- ter. The striking operators and linemen met in Clarendon Hall at half-past twelve o’clock yester- day. Chairman Mitchell blew his whistle, and announced that be did so to call them in, and not to cali them out, as Frank Bhilips did. He then read encouraging reports from Baltimore, Phila- delphia, Wa hington and other cities, and intro- duced Mr. W. H. Kingsley, who left the Western Union Tuesday evening. Mr. Kingsley said; “A most startling state of affairs existed in the Operating-rooms of the Western Union, I had BEEN ON DUTY since Thursday, and ate and slept at the Western Union Hotel. I also smoked some of their cigars. I can safely say that none of you would know the place. At 10 a. m. yesterday I was on the first Chicago duplex. I was receiving. There were then from 600 io 800 red messages on the hook, and 1 took themoff. I wanted to see what a clear hook looked like. Oa the St. Louis wire, which I also tended by turns, were 300 red messages and 800 black messages, all dated the 2ist and 22d: but let me tell you of the man I had helping me.

Mr. Brower. from the Stock Exchange, said that the linemen were the most solid men, aud hoped the operators would not go back with- out them. Cries of “No, never: we'll stand by them.” He then said the company must give in. The meeting then adjourned to uitend the base- ball match at the Polo grounds. Up to the ninth inning the 4 — played well, and at the be- ginning of that inning held an advantage of ten runs. But then the linemen got in and bunched their hits so effectually that they made nine runs, and at the finish were beaten by but two runs, the score being 19 to 17. Press Opinions. Dy Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch, New YorkK, July 2%.—The Sun says: “If the Telegraphers’ Brotherhood, instead of conduet- ing their affairs in secrecy, had been public and open in all their actions they might not at once have succeeded in obtaining what they demanded from the telegraph companies, but they certainly would not have been turned away with a refusal to admit the fact that their representatives were really authorized. This is the age of publicity and light, and no body of workingmen who resort to secrecy and darkness can hope for the same respect and consideration which would be univer- sally accorded to them if they came forth inio the openness of day.“ THE HERALD. The Herald says: “The telegraph companies have unwisely determined to destroy the Tele- raphers’ Brotherhood. Uniess the Brotherhood 8 destroyed,’ it has been unofficially announced, ‘no eva of trouble will ensue for the companies.’ ked at in a practical business way, would it not be wiser for the companies to encourage rather than war upon this Brotherhood, and to urge the best of their employes to assume promi- nent places inits direction rather than threaten them with instant dismissal as the penalty of mem bership?” Western Union Official Bulletin.

He has promised to take them all to New Orleans. but they owe board bijls which he will have to pay for before he gets them out of town. Oh, it’s & nice mess.“ At this time the constable arrived, and when the reporter left he was about to seize upon an empty pomade bottle, which was tne only thing left. MR. J. W. NORCROSS was next seen and he said: “Yes; we closed last night. l've been losing over 8100 per day. Wecame here on a promise of fifty per cent of the receipts. Last week our share was $26. Our expenses were 8900. We couldn't live atthat. Yesterday morning I went to Mr. Cottrell and showed him telegrams from a gentle- man iu New Orleans, cuaranteeing me 8650 a week for six weeks and the expenses of my company going there. The gentleman wanted me to open on the 30th inst., at Spanish Fort. I asked Cottrell what I had better do, and he said it. would suit him to close the theater right away. I did so, All of the company agreed to go, but this morning some of them tried to be smart and get out attach- ments. I’ma little short just now, but I'm not busted. Here’ is an engagement that will put me on my feet and several thousands ahead.” “That theater never drew?” “No, it did not. I tell you, Mr. Short has got Mr. Cottrell broiling on toast, so to say. They have a lease for the season of the Piskwick at $175 per week. Pat Short is glad itis closed. He will willingly pay the $87 50, which is his share as the closing increased his receipts $200 or $300 per week.” When Mr. Norcross’ attention was called to Mrs. Matilda Scott Payne’s statements, he said they were a pack of lies. “Nobody asked her for a quarter to get beer,” be said. “I have deen in the business six years. I’ve had almost everybody from Carleton down, and they would come to me again. I'm a little short, but I'll pay every dollar lowe. Mrs. Payne’s statement is reckless and | untrue.” The reporter called AT MBS. SMITH’S, _| 2816 Olive street, where Mr. and Mrs. Norcross and Miss St. Quinten board. As the front door wis opened if was evident that there was music in the air, from the sounds that came down frum the second story, “T will take u,“ said a manly voice with a strong accent, “No, you won't! vou won’t!! you won't!!!“ an- swered a feminine voice. “You shan't touch this trink—it is mine.“ Then there Ws a mixed chorus, male and female, over the ossession of the trunk in question. he reporter climbed the stairway and found Mrs. Matilda Scott Paine with a constable. contending with Mrs. Smith, the landlady, Mrs. Smith’s sister, Mrs. Smith's son aud Miss Minnie E. Carroll, or Mrs. Norcross, as she is termed, for the possession of the lat- ters trunk. When the reporter's head ap- pose above the stairway. he heurd the consta- le say, in an awful voice, “}.adame, if you think that you cin stand against tbe whole law you are mistaken.” “Law or no law,” was the answer, “I am elegy on this trunk, and I’m going to stay dere.“ The reporter was pounced upon as an arbiter. “Can he take my trunk for Mr. Norcross’ debts?” asked Mrs. Norcross, or rathe Miss Carroll. Be- sides. Mr. Paine was utterly incompetent and was discharged for incompetency.”’ Haven't I the first lien on the trunk!“ asked the landlady. The scribe disclaimed legal knowl- edge; but as the lady weighed 175 pounds or more, and was — on the trunk, he thought she had a strong lien on it. The landlady’s law- ver. Mr. W. F.

This charming little lady was inclined to bear her troubles philosophi- cally, and was inclined to be as good-natured and happy as possibie under the circumstances, “Mr. Norcross has treated me m.a perfectly fair and honorable manner. I cannot complain. told Mr. Norcross that if anything was made 1 would take my pay, but if nothing was made was to get ey I have got it,” aud the prima donna held out her hands pathetically but smilingly. “As far us I am concerned I do not care, but I am sorry for the company.

The r all agreed to wait on Mr. Norcross, but some of these foolish peonle were too impatient.” MISS DE JONGE’S GRIEVANCE, Shortly before noon to-day a sprightly little lady tripped up the stairs in the wesiern wing of the Four Courts, and, stunding in the door of the As- sistant Prosecuting Attorney’s office, musically and laconically Inquired: Mr. Dierkes?“ ad- dressing herself to Mr. Thomas 8. Hogan, who is acting for that official. It was Miss Kate de Jonge, of the Noreress Opera Company. In her hand she earried a satehelette ana a score of thejopera “Le Tyr lien.” She was dressed ina large flower-pattern dress and a neat red collar. Tak- lun achalr she began to rapidly narrate her story, and, after outlining the facts, was asked to re- tury this afternocn with a witness to the matter complaived of. The substance of the complaint was an xccusation of burglary and larceny against Ike W. Norcross, manager of the Nor- cross Opera compan now singing Le Tyrolien” at the icxwick Theater, cor- ner of Jefferson and Washington avenues. When asked by areporter what the nature of the charge was, she said, with perceptible ex- citement: “Well, I have applied for a warrant against Mr. Norcross for burglary and larceny.” “What facts do you base your application on?“ On the fact that he enterel my sag ray Ae Pickwick Theater yesterday afternoon, in the cones of myself or my dressing lady, and rifled 4 — o * 1 * i 2 = ine Kare E Jonge routned this afternoon to 5 return : ane Four Courts, panied by Miss May Smith, and the ladies 1 a 2 onion ing Manager Norcross areeny thems them a peasant's suit, a silk basque and a pair of slippers. IRWIN-SPILLMAN. A Romantic Attachment Leads to an Elope- ment and Marriage. The people tiving near Clinton place, in the northern part of the city, have been discussing an elopement, which occurred in the neighborhood and which caused more than a passing comment. Mr. C. H. Irwin, late Recorder of Deeds, lives at 110 Clinton Place. He has a son, whose initials are C. F., his father called him after the Republican boss. his most ga age, m- ployed in the East St. Louis office of the Indianapolis and St. Louis Railroad. A couple of years ago, when he was at school, he became acquainted with a pretty little girl, and everybody said that he was sweet on her. Annie Spillman was her name, and she has been livin lately with her mother at No. 2020 North Nint street When Annie left school, which sbe did some time 12 she went to work in a book-biud- ery. Her father was dead and her motlter was in such circumstances that the cuniary p the daughter could give was Hecessary. “Chink” stuck to her, however, and, unknown to his relatives, he kept up a most ardent courtship. Her friends were more lyux-eyed, however, and it appears that they knew what was going on. A few months ago young Irwin confided in strictest confidence to some of his chums that he and An- nie were engaged, that he had given her the rin which bound them together, and that he ha pledged himself to ‘aarry her in five years’ time. “Now, I’ve something to work for,” he said. “No more foolishness for me, and by the tine that five years is up I will have at least $2,000 saved, which will give me a good start.” It is said, however, that the boy was not altogether dependent on his savings, aud that there is $5,000 in a certain bank in this city in his name, but that he cannot draw the money until he is twenty- one years of age. Chink“ and Annie have been meeting unknown to cruel parents on all these warm evenings for months past, There is no doubt that while they unfolded tales of love, and told the old story over and over agai that five years began to look longer than a 8 A short time aco, young Irwin stated that Annie had told him that she was not happy at hom?, that her friends were cruel in their treatment, and that she wished (oh. so much!) that the long five years could pass by in a momeut. “Chink” was too ardent a lover not to hearken *to this tale of sorrow. He did not confine himself to words, however, but resolved to act with that promptness and de- cision which the occasion seemed to demand. Ac- cordingly at the next moonlight meeting between Annie and ber boy lover, the old five-year con- tract was taken up and cancelled by an unanimous vote, and in its place was sub- stituted another, which was like the first in ail particulars, relating to undying affection and all that sort of thing, the only chanee being that instead of the marriage cere- mony being 4 for five years, it was to oc cur at the earliest opportunity possible. Miss Annie, who is about a year older than her lover, was willing and ail the details were arranged. On last Saturday morning Miss Spillman's place at the book-binding establishment was unfilled. She did not appear during the — “Chink” Irwin, too, was not seen about the neig borhood surrounding Clinton place. It soon leaked out that on the previous evening he and Miss Spillman had taken the Iron Mountain train for Walnut Ridge, Ark. On the next day they drove out fourteen on the cordu- roy road to Powhattan, the county svat, where they were quietly married, They immediately started to return to tnis city, but were delayed py missing the train, and dia not reach here until late Sunday night. In the meantime, Mr. C. H. Irwin, the father of the groom, had left for New York on a business trip, aud it is thought that he does not yet know of his sou’s marriage, although “Chink” has telegraphed him all about the matter, and the boy’s relatives are especially displeased with him, and have about shaken, bim off. Miss Spill- man that was, Mrs. Irwin that is, has gone to live with some friends on OU’ Failon street for the pres- ent. N she sent home for her clothes, and itis said her mother indignantly refused to send them to her or to have anything to do with the girl. THE RAILROADS.

Mr. Hamiitow states the brauch will be completed mm more than time to bring in the people from along its line to the St. Louis Fair. During the conference between Messrs. R. 8. Hays, A. L. Hopkins and H. M. Hoxie yesterday, a search was made through all the time-tables of the Wabash, with a view to taking off some of the surplus passenger service, The only place found to cut the service was o:'the Peoria division, and with a view to inspecting more closely, Mr. Hopkins went up to Peoria this morning to see just how much reduction can be made. It was also de- cided to put on a through connection train be- tween Chicago and Counc!) Bluffs via the Humis- ton & Shenandoah line. The only connection now between these two polnis by the Wabash is through St. Louis. Wants a Divorce.

After a few cases are tried the court will have established some rule as to what constitutes a work of char- ity. or necessity, and I would be governed by that rule in considering all information.” 2 „What is necessary to constitute a case of Vo- lation of the Sunday law?” asked the reporter. “Actual proof of the violation,” sagely respond- ed the prosecutor. “Will the court beable to handle the prelim- inary papers in these cases?” “IT think so, and without difficulty. The extra labor comes in on the service of the warrants. That is the Sheriff’s business, and he will be obliged to largely increase his force of deputies. Tney are paia from the fees AM the office. The fees come with the cases, and Sheriff Mason can put as maay deputies to work as is necessary.” . At police headquarters it was iearned that Ser- geants at each roll-call are instructed to read aloud to the platoon the full Sunday law, that y omg may become familiar with it by next Sun- ay. “Can the police force, of whom you never have more than 180 on duty at a time, handle this wy duty?” was asked of Chief of Police Camp- “As to the making of cases, ‘that is a very simple matter under the plan of filing informa- tion.

Tux steamer City of Washington” has brought a nice load of yellow fever from Havana to New York. ——————E——E—— By the way, what has come of the Comte de CHAMBORD? At last advices he had made up his mind that he had been poisoned. —ů—ů — —— —— — Poor CeTewayro! It is a pity that this noble African slugger should have lost his life in battle after having passed under the civilizing influences of England. THEY have commenced polling railway trains in Ohio. Hoapty is ahead. This is remarkabie, seeing that the campaign fund hasn't commenced circulating yet. * — — u To-MORROW evening the valiant VASTINE will fill the Council Chamber with his vapid vaporings anent the Mayor. Why doesn’t the Mayor give VASTINE a cold potato and let him go? Tuat story of a butter corner in Chicago is denied. Lard is a tolerably slippery ar- tiele to corner, as everybody knows, but but- ter is usually too strong to be handled in that style. PERHAPS the Police Board does not care to close up the saloons with only two feet of water in the reservoir. It will not do to throw our beer away before we are sure of our muddy water. — — — Ir the prosecuting officers of our courts were paid fees or a percentage of fines for enforcing the Downing Law, we would see great activity in and around the Four Courts. This seems to have been an oinission. OnE of the telegraph companies—the American Rapid—has compromised with its striking operators and the boys returned to work to-day. It is to be hoped that this ex- ample will be followed by the Western Union. the Marshall, Mo., Jail yesterday treed two escaping prisoners. One of the fugitives was pretty badly chewed, but the ends of justice are to be looked to rather than the ends of a prisoner. Mrs. LANGTRY has gune home to her hus- band, who has been living en villegiature in the wilds of Wales on £5 a week for some time. If Mr. L. reads the American news- papers the meeting will probably be a re- markable one. Tue death rate at Cairo is 500 people a day. This is one in 800 of the population. A worse showing it would be impossible to make. And yet some of the English physi- cians insist that true Asiatic cholera has not appeared in Cairo. Pouk, the defaulting Treasurer of Tennes- see, has been found guilty. The jury assess as a fine against him the full amount of his embezzlement, and ditect him to be se- creted for a period of twenty years in the State Penitentiary. — A TYPOGRAPHICAL blunder in yesterday’s issue placed the capacity of the city’s main reservoir at 60,000 gallons. It should have read millions, and the amount of water on hand should have been placed at 12,000,000 gallons, instead of so many thousands. ENOUGH water ought to be secured along the river frontin the old-fashioned way to keep the sprinkling carts rolling in the busi- ness portion of the city during the aqueous shortage. Ifthe merchants can’t keep the dust out of their stores they might as well suspend. . — — — Ir is charged by the Seven sacred office brokers of the City, Council that the Mayor has “willfully, unlawfully and corruptly” failed and negiected to discharge his duties, We will know all about this terrible charge when the versatile VasTINE hops into the arena to-morrow evening. JAY GOULD thinks that the strike of his operators will bea benefit to the Western Union Company. It will enable it, he says, to close a lot of unimportant offices and cut down expenses which it has not been con- venient to lop off hitherto. If the company can only do well the public will willingly be “be d—d,” Mr. Govrp. — Prope who have paid in advance for the sprinkling of their lawns, gardens, side- walks, etc., are disposed to question the Mayor's right to cut off their water supply. The Mayor finds his extraordinary puwers under the head of military necesgitv,” and the clause of each water license which holds the city acquit of any responsibility for a temporary impediment to the water flow. — Over in Ohio the Republicans are able to figure out that the Democrats will have for their campaign necessities this year the sum of $209,500. Mr. Hob contributes $10,000 and Mr. TILDEN $50,000 according to this excellent authority. The Republican voter is about to be subjected to great temptation his virtue liean votes in Ohio—which is a high-toned State—is $5. Even at this figure the election. of HoaDLy is a foregone conclusion. — —— WHY IT is DIFFICULT. “Marry, there is auother indictment upon thee, for suffering flesh to be eaten in thy house contrary to the law.“ said Falstaff. “All victuallers do so—what’s a joint of mutton or two in a whole Lent?” responded Dame Quickly. This was in the old time when Church and State were in partnership, and laws were enacted to regulate the con- duct of the people on Sunday, and Saints’ days, and to punish the eating of flesh on Fridays or during Lent, But the spiritual terrors of the Church and the penalties of the law were both disregarded by the vict- uallers, because they were disregarded by the masses, and in these days when Church and State are absolutely divorced it may pos- sibly be just as difficult to enforce against the sellers of beer and other beverages a Sun- day law which is not enforced by the disci- pline of any Church, and which is openly and notoriously disregarded by the masses and by all lines of business whose managers think it profitable to run on Sunday. Now, the sole object of our Sunday law is strictly civil and secular—to secure a day of rest for all and especially for the poor, who work for wages. Yet under this law the big daily newspaper is not punished for com- pelling its hundreds of employes to work on Sundays, nor are the street railways and the other railways, managed by men of high standing in the church,molested for compell- ing their servants to work on Sunday. To say that the employes are not compelled to take or keep a position requiring seven days’ work in a week is a pitiful quibble. So long as the adminisirators of the Sun- day law permit great multitudes of servants to be deprived of a day of rest by the mana- gers of any businessthatcan be run with especial profiton Snndays, it will not look fair to some people to enforce only so much Sunday observance as will deprive those who do rest of any chance to enjoy the day in their own peculiar way. No inatter how difficult it may be, howev- er, to enforce the Sunday closing feature of the Downing Law the effort will be sincerely made. FOR THE COURTS. Some of the journals that regard labor or- ganizations as offenses against society, and labor strikes as ‘crimes, are indignant at the suggestion that there is or should be power in the courts to eompel chartered monopo- lies to render to the public those services for which they are chartered and endowed with valuable privileges and franchises. The St. Louis Republican, for instance, protests earnestly against any interference of the courts to exact due service from the Western Union Telegraph Company while its opera- tors are on a strike for higher wages. Such interference, we are told, would enable the strikers to demand one hundred dollars a day, which the company would have to pay or be ruined by the penalties and damages imposed on it by the courts for failing to send megsages. The Republican, therefore, reaches the conclusion that “‘the courts are not the proper tribuuals for set- tling the issues of this strike, or the question of wages at any time.“ This being conceded it necessarily follows that the Western Union can at any time ar- bitrarily discontinue its service and discom- mode and derange the business of the coun- try, whenever it chooses to punish its em- ployes by refusing to pay them reasonable wages. But this is neither law nor equity, nor is it in accordance with a sound public policy. It would be as bad for the courts to abstain und aid the company to coerce its employes at the expense of the public as it would be for the courts to interfere in such a way as to enable strikers to enforce unrea- sonable and extortionate demands. But such a case as the latter has never been brought into court by a strike, while a case in which a railroad corporation dam- aged its patrons by arbitrarily refusing to pay reasonable wages has been recently ad- judicated, the decision being against tne company. Last fall VANDERBILT refused to pay the freight handlers of New York City what the press and the Board of Trade unanimously declared to be reasonable wages, and they quit work. In holding out against this strike the railroad inflicted great damage to its patrons, and some who suffered by the detention of freight brought suit for damages, and obtained judgment in every case. The decision was that the lack of freight handlers was not in that case an unavoidable delay, and that when acommon carrier’s want of operatives resuits from his refusal to pay reasonable wages, he is liable for not using reasonable diligence” in the performance of his duty to his patrons. It was a just decision, ratified by the com- mon sense of the country, and if the West- ern Union Company is required to go into court and answer complaints of its patrons arising out of this strike, there is no reason to anticipate a different decision in its case. There is no question of making it pay $100 a day for telegraph operators, but there is a very important question whether the courts will allow it to inflict incalculable damage on the public in the effort to make its em- ployes work for less than the average pay of skilled labor. — — LENS SIL IE CRI Wout pn it not be well for Congress to ap- point a scientific commission to analyze the spirituous liquors issued to the American navy. Lieut. MARIGOLD, U. S. N., has just been thrashed in Florence, Italy, for insult. lug a young lady while intoxicated. There must be something wrong with the liquor which has developed so much cussedness in so many different parts of the world. Within not what we call fighting whisky, or red-eye in the West, because all of these inebriates have manifested an aching desire to run and pluck the flower safely out of the nettle danger by their superior speed and bottom. For the credit of the service let us change the brand of rye, and get the American navy, if it must be drunk, into a drunken- ness that leaps up and cracks its heels to- gether and announces itself as wild and woolly and full of vim. No man can be run in by a German policeman who is full of Pike County tanglefoot. No lieutenant was ever thrashed who was loaded with Ripley County aqua fortis, This is a scientific question, which for the honor of the star- spangled banner, deserves a speedy solutiou. — THAT story of the recent outrage upon the American Consulate at Monterey, Mexico, was a gross exaggeration. Mr. L. W. Srs- VENSON,one of the officers of the Mexican Na- tional Railway, was in St. Louis yesterday fresh from Monterey. He says that, on the occasion referred to, two burglars, who cared nothing whatever about the comity of na- tions, entered the Consulate for the purpose of stealing whatever they could lay hands on. The clerical gentleman who had been left in charge of the building and the busi- ness of the Consul was aroused and offered him on the head with his pistol, and the gatherers up of unconsidered consular trifles made good their escape. Mr. STEVEN- SON says that there was neither politics, re- ligion nor national feeling involved in this offense. The people of Monterey are most friendly in their feelings toward the United States, and they are greatly provoked that a wrong impression should have gone abroad touching this affair. As the Post-Dispatcu declared war upon Mexico immediately fol- lowing the reported sacking of the Consul- ate, we take pleasure in again calling atten- tion to the true version. The sister Repub- lics will continue to maintain cordial rela- tions. — — CHRISTINE NILLSON recently told Henry IrnvinGthat “‘Way Down Upon the Suwanee River” was really the American National anthem, and that if he wished to get on with us he would have to learn it. Mr. IRVING learned it, but when he was further in- structed that he must accompany himself upon the banjohe gave itup. Irvine is making a mistake to neglect this opportunity of making himself solid with us. We can not imagine a more delightful variant of SHAKESPEARE’S master-piece than for the players to enter with banjos in the tragedy of Hamlet. Then Hamlet might say: „O the banjos—let me hear one—* * * I do not well understand that. Will you play upon this banjo.” Guildenstern—Me Lord, I cannot. Ham.—I pray you. Guila,—Believe me, I cannot. Ham.—I do beseech you. Gulld.—I know no touch of it. Ham.—’Tis as easy as lying; govern these fel- line intestines with your fingers and thumbs. Give tongue to your song and it will discourse most elegant music. (Sings “Way Down Upon the Suwanee River.]“ REFERRING to the proposition of the dis- gruntled Police Commissioners to enforce all the Sunday laws to be found on the statutes, the Globe-Democrat says: Civilization is not to be broken on dead letters because legislatures have forgotten to formally repeal them. The attempt to enforce these obsolete statutes will doubtless fail, because public sentiment will insist that milk wagons, street cars, Sunday newspapers, etc., are necessary to our civilized state of existence. The saloon-keepers place themselves and their business on the same level. It remains to be seen whether enough public sentiment can be found to sustain them. That’s all there is of it. — — _. THE plunge into the great Whirlpool below the falls of Niagara by Capt. WEBB was the act of a bold, self-reliant man. It may have been even foolhardy. But his death in attempting to show what nerve and skillin the water could accom- plish redeems his act from the charge of utter uselessness. His fate will be widely regretted.— Republican. The Captain should have a monument, of course, Then some brave, self-reliant man should jump from the roof of the Southérn Hotel, in order to teach a decomposing world the value of nerve and skill in jump- ing. After that some heroic. pennyroyal bull might butt a railway locomotive off the track by way of variety. — | CLAY CRENSHAW, who openly violated the Downing law in Kansas City by running his saloon business on Sunday, settled the cases against him yesterday by paying fines and costs to the amount of $300. It is not probable that he will repeat the experiment of defying the law in that open manner. It does not pay, and if Kansas City has not already club arrangements to enable all her people to slake thelr thirst on Sundays she soon will have them. The Kansas City plan is to laugh at the law rather than to butt against it. jn Ir is understood that the leading liquor saloons and beer-gardens in St. Louis will de closed next Sunday in deference to the Downing Law. As we endeavor to be calm and judicial our advice to the saloon-keepers would be not to display too much vigor in the work of enforcing all the obsolete Sun- day laws by way of retaliation. That might lead to vigorous counter-retaliatory meas- ures and a great deal ot bad feeling. ‘This is a large town, and there is @ variety of pub- lic opinion here, x : ALL the German newspapers of St. Louis manifest a disposition this morning to nul- lify that portion of the Downing Law which requires the closing of saloons on Sunday.

By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. , New York, July %.—The World says: “If Mr. Randall will receive the caucus nomination it will be the duty of every true Democrat to vote for him. There is no doubt about that. But it is the duty of ev anti-monopoly Demoerat to see first that Mr. Randall does — get the nomination.” THE TIMES. The Times says: “If the report be true that the Civil Service Commission has decidea that pro- motions from the $900 grade to the $1,200 grade of elerkships in the Washington departments be mude without regard to civil service rules, it has made a grave mistake, which it should lose no time in correcting.” THE TRIBUNE. The Tribune says: “We submit, therefore, to our probibition friends, that it is their policy, that it is their duty, to advance the interests of the Republican party. It may not come up to all their wishes, but neither will it make shipwreck of what they have 14 accomplished. moc- racy, on the other hand, is to-day the right arm of the rum power, even as before it was the right arm of duvery. Choose between the two.“ POLITICAL POINTERS. GENERAL Stocum thinks Tilden will be the next Democratic nominee for President, THE Montreal Star thinks in nominating can- didates each party in the United States wants to und a stick to beat the other party with. WEST CHESTER REPUBLICAN: A New York editor thinks Arthur will have a walk-over in 4. He will have to walk over Blaine if he has. Boston HERALD: That would be an inspiring canvass between Tilden and Blaine in 18%4—the one a dead live man, the other a live dead one. THE Chicago Tribune is of the opinion that Senator Logan cannot secure a solid delegation from his State for President in 1884. Hew HAMPSHIRE can get along very well with- out another United States Senator, and the Legis- lature seems to think it best not to elect one. Says the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette: The new Solid South is the Republican article. Itis not worth much in the elections, but it counts in the nominating conventlous.“ THE general opinion in Kentucky is that Mr. Randall will be the successful candidate.—[Kan- sas City Times.] The general opinion in Ken- tucky is that the Kansas City Times is lying,— (Courier-Journal, JAMES S. ROBINSON of Ohio, Republican mem- ber of Congress from the Ninth District, being inquired of as to the Democratic Presidential choice in that State, replted: Thurman is talked of, and next to him McDonald. Tilden is very rarely spoken of as an available man.“ GEN. W. W. AVERILL, a Democrat, who some times looks through Republican spectacles, thinks that Mr. Hewitt should be nominated by his party for President. “He is a crotchety man,” says Averill,” but that is not to his prejudice. Wedo not want apy flexible, boneless Presidents—men trying to conceal something and not to offend somebody. It will not hurt the Presidency if we should get in some upright man like Hewitt.” IMPORTANT PEOPLE. —Col. King of Texas has sold his ranch and cattle, near San Antonio, for $4,000,000 to an En- glish syndicate, This is said to be the largest ranch in the world. —Boyle O'Reilly, the poet editor of the Boston Pilot, who started from the head of the Connecti- cut River to paddle a canoe to the Sound, cap- sized, lost his paddies and took the cars. —Monsignor Capel, the celebrated English ec- clesiastic, sailed for this country, on Saturday, by the Arizona.

Much dissatisfaction is expressed in England at the Queen’s selection of the Viennese Angeli to paint her portraitfor a birthday gift to Kaiser Wilhelm. It is thought that she should have chosen a native English artist. Ismail Pasha is understood to be “inquiring after” Strawberry Hill.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: Since the discovery of your latest sensational curlosity, which you style the “Railroad Dude,” I, as an employe of that honorable and enterpris- ing corporation known as the “Gould System,” feel it incumbent upon myself to make a few re- marks in defense of my personal honor, as well as to vindicate the sterling character of most of the geutlemen with whom I have daily intercourse. Ido not claim any knowledge of the private af- 2 issue of the allroad Dudes,“ must our reporter puts the question in that article to one Mr. Brown, as to how the clerks spend their money —meaning all the clerks connected with our offices. Thus would any of ur readers so construe it. I think that Mr. Brown overstepped the bounds of ordinary decency, if not of veracity, when he re- phes that they (the clerks) “spend it mostly on gambling, women and whisky.” Now I know little of Mr. Brown’s antecedents, except that I frequently hear him spoken of as a regular Shylock, etc. Whether he deserves such a character or not, it is matter of little inter- est to me; but when he assails my character, and presumes, by reason of his having been unfortunate in his business transactions with a few individuals, that he is justified in vili- fying a whole community of industrious, intelligent and honorable men, many of whom have respectable families and are citizens of standard worth, it is time to call a halt.” Mr. Editor, by giving these remarks space in your columns you will correct a serious wrong, doubt- less committed by you innocently, and confer a special favor on many ot your constant readers who have always appreciated your valuable ef- forts as a public vensor, Yourstruly, AJAX. Hint to the Car Companies. Sr. Louis, July 25, 1888. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: Will not the street car companies confer a favor upon both strangers and citizens by placing over and above the ends of each car a sign with the names of the prominent streets over which the car passes, thus: For the Chouteau avenue line, Fourth and Morgan, Chouteau avenue, Second Carondelet, Lafayette avenue; or the Bellefon- taine line, Fourth and Washington avenue, Elev- enth street to Water Tower. As the cars are now marked—low on the sides— a person cannot distinguish the letters until the car has nearly passed him, when it is generally too late to atop it. Besides, not only strangers, but citizens unaccustomed to that line, do not know from the title of the company all about the line. Thus Tower Grove“ does not convey to citizens generally over what streets the line travels. Nor do people generally understand at the “Bellefontaine Railway” does not go near llefontaine Cemetery. nor that the Jefferson Avenue and Fair Grounds Line does not convey passengers anywhere near to the Fair Grounds, as yet, atleast, Some of our lines have “Union De 15 prominently printed on the cars, but the rity of passengers on those lines do not travel to and from the Union Depot all the time. Let the ear companies have printed in clear letters as suggested above, and it will certainly accommo- date many citizens. * A Liberal Education. Sr. Louis, July 24, 1883.

P.-D.] Another Distinguished Celt. Sr. Louis, July 26, 1383, To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: In your very excellent account of the St. Louis Celts you inadvertently, no doubt, omitted the name of the latest and greatest—that is Counselor Garvey. Five minutes conversation with the learned Counselor will convince any person that he is the ablest Irish gentiemau that ever came to St. Louis. Very respectfully, RUTH. Watch Teller. From the New York World. It will be just as well for the public to keep an eye on the Secretary of the Interior and watch his course in the matter of the application of the Soutdern Pacific railroad for a title to the land grant of the Texas Pacific railroad. The amount of land involved is some 18.000 0:0 acres, the value ‘of which may be roundly stated at 350.000.000. The situation is a simple one. The corporation has a claim to the land, but no title. The Secre tary of the Interior by a stroke of his pen can give the corporation an absolute title to this $50,000,000 worth of property of which the title now vests in the people of the Unitea States. There is no reason for his deciding hastily, inasmuch as by waiting six months he can give Congress an op- portunity of disposing of the claim by revoklig the unearned grant, ana thereby confirming the right of the United States to the land. The question is, will Teller wait, or will he hand the land over to the corporation? Philadelphia Wives. From the Philadelphia Record. Heedless persons envy the lot of the stay-at home husband.

January and Frank L. Seaver in Serious Troubie. Derrick A. January and Frank L. Seaver, two young men in the city, have gotten themselves into trouble by a disregard of the rules of busi- ness. On Thursday night Seaver went to Louis C. Bohle, the livery man on Chestnut street, near Twelfth, and presenting a check for, §30 on tbe Third National Bank, signed by January, re- quested Mr. Bohle to cash it for him, as he needed the money at once. Mr. Bohle, aft- er some hesitation, and after Seaver had indorsed the note, let him have the money. The next day Mr. Bohle presented the check at the bank and was told that January had no account there. He waited, however, for several days,.and called upon Judge W. F. Boyle, adminiatrator of the estate of the late D. A. January, father of young January, but the young man no being found, Mr. Bohle took steps to institute proceedings in the Court of Criminal Correction, charging Seaver and January with fraud. A Post-DISPATCH reporter discovered that the Lindell Hotel had also suffered by the operations of Seaver. He registered there Thursday and re- mained until Sunday morning. When he came to the hotel he presented an envelope which he said contained valuables and received a check for it. Saturday night he gave a check to the cashier tor $30, signed by D. A. January, but as he had no money the clerk became suspicious and tola him to leave on Sunday. It was found then that a friend, who was sup d to be young January, had been occupying his room with him without registering or paylug therefor. In the envelope were found a check of Jannary’s for fifty dollars, a note of January's and two dollars ia cash The check presented was drawn on the less on presentation at the bank, Seaver gave his address us 2809 Scott avenue.

The linen company has been busy the past week weeding ont the illiterate persons among the employes, and it is said thata large number have been discharged on that ground. About a year since, when the com- pany was in a flourishing condltion, it ad- vertised that after this date no persons would be retainea who could not read or write, and those who were deficient in these branches were given an opportunity to learn by the establishwent of night schools with competent instructors. Itis said that dis- crimination is being made in favor of those who have been long in the: company’s ser- vice and are too far advanced in years to learn, and they are being retained. The English System, From the New York Commercial Advertiser. Mr. Tiiden believes the Presidency should be as passive ag the great seal of England. and the reformer of the Philadelphia Times declares that this country would be a great deal better off if we would adopt the English method of electing legisiators. At the same time the Civil Service reformers insist we can never “purge” our politics until we eopy the English system, while the dudes protest that until we buy our clothes in London we shall not be well dressed. Altogether it looks, if the reformers are to succeed, as though we will have a little too much En- giish in ours, And yet we have got on toler- ably well under the American system.

From the Cork Examiner, July la Notwithstanding the cunning and clever- ness of James Carey and his violently ex- be determination to remain in Ireland, e Was atthe last moment completely baf- fled by the action of the authorities and was obliged to leave the country without receiv- ing one farthing of reward for his service as approver. Not only this, but the Lord-Lieu- tenant refused to grant him a written par- don, and he took his- departure from Dublin a dejected and disappointed man. As it turns out, his threats to resume his place in the corporation and to continue his occupa- tion.as a bricklayer in Dubiin were but emp- ty boasts, f r when the test came he demon- strated that he was glad to procure safety on any terms, He believed he had got the Gov- ernment in a difficulty ; that the could not keep him in prison, an that they would have to pay handsomely to induce him to go away. zut, deep conspirator as he was, he was en- tirely vutwitted, and so unexpectedly that he seemed paralyzed at his helpless posi- tip, and suddenly submitted to procved toa distant land., The manner in which his ac- quiescence was obtained was very simple. His applications for a written pardon were unheeded; his demands for terms were un- answered; his brother Peter was removed fron bis company, so that be did not know what had become of him; other informers had left the prison, and be knew not whith- er — bad gone. He began to suspect that something Lad been done with his family, and the expression in the letter appended— written shortly before he was taken from Kilmainham—shows he was suspicious that they had been, as he terms it, “kidnapped.” Carey’s elder children were first sent away; then his wife and the younser members of his family followed, it being intimated that the Approver-Invincible would meet them at a certain port. Suddenly, at night, it was made Known to Carey that he was to leave the prison, He started with amazement and inquired what the Government intended todo with him. What he asked was ‘to be his re- ward? Wnat provision has been made for his pro- tection? He was struck dumb with aston- ishment when informed that he would re- ceive no reward; neither would protection be extended to him; and he could now make his choice—either to go to the colony for which his passage had been paid, or the door was open to him to walk outa free man amongst the citizens. Being assured that it was the decision of the authorities, his fury seemed to consume him, and when the ques- tion was put whether he would take his lib- erty or his passage to another clime, ne got overcome with fear at the prospect of being turned outin the streets. Finally the news was imparted to him that his wife and seven children were already aboard ship ready to sail, aud, unless he chose to join them, their passages having been paid, he would have but little chance of meeting them for a con- siderable time. This last blow overwhelme him, and he sulkily bowed to the inevita and consented to rid Ireland of his pres forever. No time was lost in acting this decision—for Carey’s passage ticket had been secured and his common outfit pur- chased. Where he has gone none but the authorities know,. aud their secret is certain to be well kept. Wells’ “Rough on Corns.” Ask for Wells’ “Rough on Corns.” 156. Quick, complete, permanent cure.

A Ballet Girl's Wait. From a Philade:pnia Dis patch. Fifteen years ago Maggie Summerfield, a very pretty girl, was connected with Mrs. Drew’s Areh Street Theater as a ballet Uaucer. as was her sister. Both gained great reputations as dancers, and were kuown in all parts of the country. Maggie Summer- fieid was always a favorite. Beth girls were respected for their many virtues, and their friends in Philadelphia were numerous. Among Maggie Sunwertfield’s admirers was a young Wan whose father was the senior nember of a prominent firm of manufactur- ers of chandeliers and gas fixtures in this city. He paid her constant attention, and it became known that the young people were engaged to be married. The young man’s family objected to the match because Miss Summertield was a danseuse, He agreed, but the family stood firm, and their decision was irrevocable. ‘They believed it to be but a passing fancy, that might be obliterated by travel. The disconsdlate young man was sent to China, but before starting on his en- forced journey he saw his sweetheart, and they exchanged vows of constancy. The young man spent fifteen years in China, and made a fortune of $100,000, A month ago Miss Summerfield concluded her season with the Kiralfy Brothers’ Company, and came to Philadelphia to spend the summer. Her old lover returned to Philadelphia last week, married Miss Summerfieid, and they are now at the sea-shore.

Dr. Shipp of Vanderbilt University, of Nashville, — has been in the city, during which time he has had a novel expe- i rience. He was assigned a room at the Ed- wards House. Happening to raise one of the pillows of the bed, he was surprised to see lying closelv before his eyes a plump- lookivg pocket-book. He picked it up and opened it, and drew out a bill of $1,000. De- termined to tind the bottom, he took all out and counted thirty-one of the same denomi- nation, Mr. Shipp, for the brief season of two minutes, enjoyed the funny sensation which the possession of $31,000 3 conferred. He then went down stairs an turned the wallet and its contents over to Mr. John Edwards, the proprietor, detailing the circumstances of finding it. It ultimate- ly transpired that a Utica banker and stock- holder in the Jacksonville, St. Augustine and Halifax Railroad, Mr. W. Jerome Green, had vecuvied that room the night previous, and the money was his property. Althouga Mr, Shipp could have no thought of doing other than he did, the promptness which he displayed in making known his find, pre- venting any long uneasiness on the part of Mr. Green, was commeudabile. He did not ‘see that gentieman, and thus avoided the thanks which he would, before he left, have received. 7 Ir bilious, or suffering from impurity of blood, or weak lungs and fear consumption (scrofulous diseases of the lungs), take Dr. Pierce’s “Goiden Medical Discovefy” und it will cure you.

It didn’t take much pleading to win a promise from Mike Brazel, with whose family Miss Fuller boards, that he would give her a lesson in deer-slaying. Choosing a favorable night, the plucky schvol-wa’am, armed with her rifle and at- tended by Mr. Brazel, repaired to a smail lake in the vieinage where deer were known to be frequent visitors. A jack - light was rigged in the stern of a boat, and, with rifle ready, the lady patiently ‘ waited developments, Soon a fine buck came stamp- ing through the brushwood, attracted by the ure on the water. Plungingin, he swam towards the light until he was near enough forashot. “Now’s your time,” whispered Mike to his companion. Where shall I aim for?“ inquired the girl in a tone of intense excitement. “Right behind the ear,” was the answer. No more words passed, An instant after the school-ma’am’s rifle sent forth a blind- ing flash and deafening report. Did I hit him?“ queried the girl, as she took the rifle from her shoulder. In answer Mr. Brazel sent his boat forward with a couple of pow- erful strokes, and there, struggling in the water, lay the gallant buck, the blood pour- ing trom a builet-hole behind the ear, attest- ing the accuracy of the teacher’s aim. The sight overcame her. Sinking down in the boat she clasped her fair hands, raised her eyes to heaven and fervently exclaimed: Now let me only capture a bear and I will be ready to die!“ Neuril Cures Neuralgia.

The fact is,” said Dr. Weston, chatting with our reporter a few days ago, “that we speak better English and more of it in Amer- ica than they do in England. In America wherever you go, from Maine to Texas and California. wherever you find an American, you can converse with him readily without the least difficuity in understanding him, He may use slang freely, often too freely; he may speak with an utter disregard of gram- matical construction, but you know what he says and what he means, and a graduate of Harvard and a miner in the mouitains can carry on a conversation without difficuliy. The miner may have some difficulty at times in understanding some of the collegian’s sen- tences, but the graduate has no such trouble, SAM is DEAD. He Was Seventy-Five Years Old and s Hero of the Great Fire. , From the Chicag» Tribune. There died 8 the home of Mrs. George T. Pitkin, No. Wabash avenue, one of Chicago’s oldest residents—a vener- able Brazilian parrot. Sam—for such was the name by which he was known to many friends in this city—had reached the ripe old age of seventy-five years, and his career Was a varied and eventfulone. At the time of the great Chicago fire Mrs. Pitkin was living on Indiana street, on the North Side, and when the flames swept up to her home she seized the cage containing her ancient and loguacious pe “Take the family Bi. ble.“ said her husband, who had overloo the parrot in his effort tesave his infant son, but Mrs. Pitkin, according to the veracious reporters of those days, dropped the book of books and triumphantly carried her parrot toaplace of safety. “gone through the Chicago fire’’ found him- self famous by this incident, and during the remainder of his life was the recipient of well-earned honors. About three weeks ago there was a fire in Mrs. Pitkins’ residence on Wabash avenue, and the department was called out to quench the flames. Mrs. Pitkin, with the remarka- ble solicitude she had shown on a former oc- casion, capfied out Sam, and when the latter beheld old friends—the firemen—he ir- reverently ejaculated: 0 Lord! look at em But although Sam stood his first exper- ience as well as the celebrated King of Troy, the second was too much of a shock, and he began to fail. It was noticed that he dozed on his perch, that his head shook like that of an old man, and that he dropped often into a deep slumber at unseemly hours. Fre- quently in the midst of his snooze he would tumble from his perch, and then he would ick himself up, exciaiming weariedly, Oh, ord!” Yesterday Mrs. Pitkin noticed that he was feebler than ever, and she took him from his cage, saying at the same time, “Poor Sam, are you going to die?” “Oh, dear, yes, said Sam dejectedly. These were his last words, and shortly afterward he died. Sam was formerly the property of Mr. Samuel Myers, who obtained him from Mr. Glassner, and the worthy oid bird may be said to have witnessed the birth and progress of the cities, with whose destinies his own life was so strangely interwoven. Many strange stories are told of him, but, in view of his death, it is hardly proper to recall his old-time levity. One of his failings was a peremptory manner of saying good-by“ to visitors before the time of saying good-by“ arrived. Again, he never failed to arouse his beloved mistress whenever her husband had occasion to use the night latch-key. For this reason, Sam and Mr. Pitkin were never on the best of terms. On one occasion Mr. Pitkin’s mother was mending socks, and whenever she dropped one into the basket at her side Sam would shake it out and! pens- ively chew the top off, Finally the old lady began to sing, but this was wore than the garrulous bird could stand. Oh, cork up!“ he exciaimed with every appearance of dis- gust, and itis said that the old lady never sang in his presence again.

Superintendent Lyon, of the Barclay Coal Mines, wasin the city on Wednesday, and toldan Advertiser reporter the following snake story, the authenticity of which, he said, couid be vouched for by several reiia- ble citizens: “On Tuesday last a boy was engaged in plowing on the farm of a man named Wilkinson, between Greenwood and Monroeton, in Bradford county, when he saw an enormous biack snake lying stretched along on the ground near the fence, Fright- ened by the reptile, the boy dropped the line and started on a run for the house.

X., writes us: Troy, N. v., April 7, 1883. “Having been afflicted for several years past with illness, the cause of which was unknown to me for a long time,and my continued disability getting to be of so serious and distressing a character u to cause great anxiety with my family and triends, I became satisfied upon close investigation that the cause of my sickness was the diseased condition of my kidneys and liver. At this time by accident a friend wno had similar symptoms to mine Informed me of the great improvement in his health by taking Hunt’s Remedy and persuaded me to try it. I immediately commenced taking it, and from the first bottle began to improve, and its continued use affords very encour aging results. I can sleep soundly, walk better, am free from pains, and the severe attacks of headache from which I suffered so much have diappeared, ana I cheerfully recommend Hunt’s remedy for all pur poses for which itis advertised. I will add in clos ing, that my wife has used it very successfully for preventing the attacksof sick headache with which she has been afflicted from youth.” ALMOST DISHEARTENED. A prominent citizen sends us the following state- ment: “For several years I have been very seriously af- flictea with a severe pain in the back, which I had supposed to be the lumbago or rheuma tism in the back. More recently the pains had become more severe, so much so that it was with difficulty that I was able to get out of bed in the morning. J had tried various remedies without ap- parent relief. By the earnest solicitation of a friend I commenced taking Hunt’s Remedy, about three weeks ago,and its instantaneous benefits are won- derful, for I have had no pains in my back since tak- ing the first three doses; and am relieved trom the pains, aches,and exhaustive weakness, the painful symptoms that usually accompany disease of the kid- neys. And I confidently expect to oe completely and permanently cured by the use of t. I most cheerfully recommend Hunt’s Remedy to all who are affiicted with any kidney or liver disease, WILLIAM G.
