New York, June 20. — Speaking of the Bartholdi fund, the WorLD says: ‘‘Yesterday will be noted in the annals of New York as one of the red letter days of the city.

Never was a day in June fairer, Early in the morning a slight haze hung over the bay, but it was speedily dispelled by the sun and a gentle southeast breeze. It was a summer sea from Castle Garden to far beyond Sandy Hook. Never did the beautiful harbor look 80 inviting, and never before, on its broad bosom, had there rested a pageant so magnificent, Lying off Bedloe's Island, where the three-quarters finished pedestal loomed up Mike a gray-bronzed cloud colu was the grim old warship Minne- med from deck to — gallant nner, Flags were flying from the forts lining the harbor, while the 1 in port made the best display possible with the bunting at hand.

The sands and ramparts of Fort Hamilton were black with them until the white smoke from the saluting guns of the forts and the answering cannon from the fleet shut them from view. Two figures stand- ing on the pilot house of the J.G. Emmons, one of the WorLp's steamers, seemed to greatly interest the sailors on the Isere as well as the excursionists on the other vessels. They were the Goddess of Liberty and Uncle Sam, impersonated by two of the lads who appear as the Duchess Tigers in Dixie's „Adonis.“ Their costumes and make-up were perfect in every detail and evoked rounds of applause from the spectators, to which Uncie Sam responded by lifting his star-bespangied white hat and bowing gravely, while the Goddess smiled aweetly an THREW KISSES TO HBR MANY ADMIRERS. They remained in their position during the entire ceremony, and while at times the youthful enthu- siasm of the lads caused them to forget the dignity of the characters they were assuming, they formed one of the most attractive features pre the as thousand American — interest. The steamboats J. EK. Emmons with the tug W. M. M chartered and were in on her way to meet its fellows of the Won grouped about the side of the French Steamship Company's pier at the foot of Morton street. The boats soon filled up with invited guests. One was set apart for the representatives from the various business houses in the city, and every branch of trade and line of industry was repre- sented. Ladies were present, displaying the bright French tri-color, and ir enthusiasm rose to the highest pitch. Amo the guests on board the Moore was Mr. Edmond Johanet, co dent of the Paris Moniteur Unive ‘the irteenth (Brooklyn) Regiment bugle and drum corps, under the con of Captain McIntyre, made enjoyable music on the Won boat, J. G. Emmons. Their French airs aroused the enthusiasm of the offivers and crew of the Isere and La Fiore, and they responded with cheers. On the Millard wasa detail from the Tuird Gatling Battery of Brooklyn, consisting of Sergt. J. J. Moog and Privates Cardon, Lincoln and Gray, who had with them a beautiful twelve pound brass field howitzer and 100 rounds of blank cartridges, all of which were patriotically expended IN HONOR OF THE OCCASION, the last thirteen being fred as a finai salute close under the bows of the Isere, after she had anchored off Bedloe's Island, and afier the fort and frigate had exhausted their welcomes, acknowledged by three cheers from the crew of the Isere. Besides the three vessels named, the great 8 er Southfield and the steamer Sylvan carried the WorRLD’s colors at their peaks and had stations in the line with the Wor.p’s regular flotilla. By 9 o’ciock the start was made to the music of asalute given the Wor.tp flotilla from the gun of the Compagnie Generale’s steamer Atlantique, and in addition to the long line of flying bunting and the legends of welcome and the group of interested spectators, the boats took down great cargoes of good willfrom the stay-at- homes. Every pier-head had of cheering citizens ~ tg and steamer sent 8 message of bearty commendation ia the day's work. Atadozen points passenger steam- ers, each capable of carrying a town full of peop! were loading up with those who had time an were determined to improve it in witnessing and assisting to make up the water procession.

A stop was made opposite Fort Hamilton, when the New Yorkers transferred Capt. De Soune and staff to a launch on which Rear Admiral Lacombe and his staff of La Fiore were alre placed. Then the party called on Secretary itney and his brilliant corps of American naval officers on board the Dispatch, afterwards making a sbort call at Bedloe’s Island, where they were received by humerous French societies and introduced by French Consul Brunweart of Chicago. THE LAND DEMONSTRATION. Meanwhile a crowd of peopie, estimated by the police at 160,000, had assem ou Broadway from © City Hall to the Battery, three-quarters of a mile of solid humanity, waiting for the land demonstration. Such another vast athering has not been seen in this city since the — — = 1 — the off platoons ot Metro- park police, numbering were as- signed to Broadway and the Battery, but the crowd was too much for them, and frequently took things in their own hands, From the — of the Rat- tery away up to Bowling Green, the people were densely packed. They bad assembled at 10 o'clock to walt for a procession due to start at 12, and 2 o*clock had come and gone and still nosign ofa movement. At 2:20 o'clock the steam launch Judge Field puffed into the barge office slip, bearing the Evarts and Grace parties with the visiting Frenchmen. In an instant word was to the crowd that something had come and à wild cheer rang out. Again and again the struggling humanity on Battery front cheered until their yells were taken up and from the Battery to the City Hall the entire assemblage screamed, waved hats and handkerchiefs and acted as only an excited American crowd is supposed to act. What's the matter?” yelled a bead from one of the windows in the Western Union Building. 85 Hail Columbia THE STATUE’S HERE!” shouted back a newsboy, and the crowd cheered the little fellow. Carriages swarmed about the e office and they were quickly filled by the following distinguished company: The first was occupied by Mayor Grace; Admiral Lacombe of the French navy; Brigadier-General Shaler and a staff officer of the first division N. G. S., N. X. and the second by President Sawyer; Commander Lespinasse De Soune, of the Isere; Senator-elect Wm. M. Evarts, Chairman of the American Statue Committee, and Commissaire- General Deltombe, of the La Fiore. On either side of these was posted a guard of honor, the Grenadiers Rochambeau on the right and Garde Lafayette on the left. them were the staff officers of . iers Rochambeau, Col.

De Soune and other French officers; the Garde Lafayette; a double line of forty-two carriages containing guests and members cf the committee of arrange- ments; French civic and musical societies and nine piatoons of forty men each of the metropolitan police, with fourteen bands interspersed.~ Tremen- dous cheering greeted the line as it passed slowly up Broadway, and the gallant Fren en bobbed up and down, aud smiled, and waved their hands until huge beads of perspiration stood on their good-natured faces. The City Hall was flually reached, where the French officers left their car- riages, and from the historic balcony of the Governor's room reviewed the parade. The parade over, the French officers, meek and wondering, with wide open eyes, were escorted to the palatial Alder- manic Chamber, where the Freoch singiag societies had preceded them, and where they were greeted with the Marseillaise,“ as they passed under the flag-decked arcade. Every Frenchman placed his hand on his heart and reverently bowed his head as the beloved music of La Belle France, soft and dulcet, again loud and stirring, caused the blood to tingle in their veins. Many distinguisheid soldiers, statesmen, judges and lawyers, wih prominent business men, welcomed the brilliantly dressed guests. Mayor Grace delivered the ad- dress of welcome; President of the Council Sanga followed in behalf of the Aldermen, and Frederickr R. Conder closed with an eloquent tribute to the French Republic, Bartholdi, Hugo and the great statue, reciting THE BONDS OF FRIENDSHIP and common purposes that had so long joined France to America in-loving and patriotic memory. With music the programme was concluded. Throughout the exercises the utmost enthusiasm was displayed. the several addresses every mention of the name of Lafayette called forta applause. When “La Marseillaise“ was played by the band, every person in the large au dience stood as one man and remained standing until the French national air was finished. The French officers, Minister Rouston and the Consul-General ane Vice-Consul-Gencral graciously returned the compliment by bowing to all when later in the exercises “Hail Columbia“ was rendered. The rty was then entertained at luncheon in the — room, after which the guests were carriages to the barge office about 5 o clock and returned to their vessels. To-morrow will be guests at Wallack’s.

Curcaco, June 19.— The rest of the world may be interested to know that there ls a new political gombination forming in Chicago. It takes no great prophet to foresee that. The old is giving place to the new. Mike McDonald has made his pile. He s rated at half a million. He is going to Europe— he and his family—this summer. The gambling houses are closed. Most of the gamblers have gone away—many of them to the watering places, some to Pittsburg. This is no small curve in the circle of events; itis one of the cycles. Mayor Harrison has been Mayor several terms. He can probably never be again. The “gang” has served its day. Not but what there will be gangs in Chicagoto the day of doom, and gamblers, too. So long as there are cities there will probably be “gangs,” and until politics passes the millenium stage there will doubtless be a machine. But not this old machine that bas made itself famous to all the world. It will die hard. A better element in Democracy is coming into power. It is called the Silk-Stocking Democracy. Most of the real Silk-Stockings in Chicago are Republicans. That is where the name originated. But there is no interest in Republican things to-day. The Republican gang happens to be under the fence. Democracy’s star is in the ascendent—and a brand new star it is. 8 89 0 Martin J. Russell, editor of the Chicago Herald, is a rising power. He and W. C. Goudy and Mel- ville Fuller—better element lawyers—have formed a combination. This would look like an off-shoot of the Iroquois Club. But it is not strictly so. The Iroquois has long sought a reason for its existence. Theoretical politics was the Iroquois’ province. Practical politics was the “gang's” province, Joe Mackin said: “Jest let some of them Irykey b’ys come out to the polls and get knocked down and dragged out a few times an’ they'li know something more about politics, Let me give you a p'int on that, me boy.“ But Joe's star bas waned. The Cook County Dem- ocratic Club—which was the gang's“ headquarters —is left to itself. The lights are out and the porter sleeps in the corner. eee The new organization is a rare combination of silk stockings aad practicality. Ita motive is lofty, its aspirations decent. The gang will only be called into requisition on election - Thumpers will be excluded. God and the right will prevail. Mr. has been down to Pittsburg and called Mr. a bilatherskite—or 2 tan) ‘4 * A Due sa P 00 “ the particular aversion Leonard an Emory A. Storrs—of both, because y — he gets too much credit for his talents. Mr. Storrs is said to be the only real genius at the Chicago bar. Mr. Swett might demur at this, but both are Republicans, and it doesn’t matter. Republicans don’t count these days. Mr. Goudy is the kind of man who thinks but does not feel. He is a corpora- tion lawyer. His mind is logical—not brilliant—and he is tireless. He F Swett the Thus it may be seen that, with the Herald in the field, and with Mr. Goudy and Mr. Fuller as a head and front of respectability, and Mr. Trude as a sort of a high-toned connecting link, the new combina- tion just swinging into tine is one that is likely to cut a wide swath, and pull pretty hard. But that is not all.

But it looks like husks— nothing but lea ves. Thus the respectable element in Democra- cy swings to the front in all the proud positions, and the gang,“ without a Marshal or a post-office, Siinks into the shadow of adversity. d wis.

In the interest of 1888 there will be harmony in Illinois hereafter. But the Republican Senators’ patronage under a Democratic regime will be limited. Ido not know what will be done with Long Jones and Dan Shepard and ex-Postmaster Paimer. Nobody does. That's what they're trying tofind out themselves. But this much may be : Melville E. Stone has gone to Washington. Mr. Stone may not have very great influence with the Administration, but he is recognized as a rising power.

June W. — A man entered Tiffany's jewelry store last evening and said to Mr. Cook, 4 member of the firm, who waited upon him, “I am manager for E. §. Stokes of the Hoffman House, and was instructed to purchase some diamonds.” A number of packages of diamonds were shown, “These stones are not fine enough,” he said; “you show me something finer."’ All the diamonds were carefully collected, and put away, and another case, containing very choice stones, was placed be- fore the intending purchaser. “Ah, these have the colors I want; pure, perfect colors,” was his admiring exclamation. There was something about the man that caused Mr. Cook to grow sus- pigious. By a quick movement the customer got possession of a package containing $15,000 worth of gems. Immediately Mr. Cook said, “Give me those diamonds you have there.“ The customer pretended to be „as ho handed back the ] saying, “I thought it was only a pieceof paper.” Instantly the man was caught and thrown into a room, while Policeman Philip Blass of the Broadway squad was summoned, who took the prisoner away.

Casey, of the Mercer Street Sta- tion,run up and knocked the arm down with a blow of his club. Mr. Cook and Ar. R. M. Hyde, also of Tiffany's store, had followed to make a complaint. Mr. Hyde was under the impression that the pris oner had let some diamonas fall into an umbrella which be carried. Officer Blass and Mr. Hyde toon their risoner to the Mercer Street Station. Just before mounting the steps Mr. Hyde attempted to get on of the prisoner’s umbrella. The risoner clung to it, and made a motion to strike r. Hyde. Looking at the police station, the pris- oner refused to ascend the steps. te swung the two officers clear around. He was so determined upon his escape that the officers had to draw their t billies, and club him. They beat him about e head, neck and face, during which time he struggled bard to break the n'ippers which cut into bis wrists. The prisoner received a severe cut upon the upper right lp, a cut upon the cheek, also several b about the head, before he would submit to be taken into the Station-house. In- side it was necessary to prevent the prisoner from striking Mr. Hyde. The umbrella was taken and examined. Nothing was found init. The prisouer ave his name as Erasmus Brown, 45 years old, of o..192 Howard street, St. Louis. He was then ted to police headquarters and placed before Superin- tendent Murray. There was nothing found upon him when searched but 30 cents. Upon the lining of his coat was the name II. O. Havermeyer. He was not identified by any of the detectives upon duty. Inspector Byrnes thought he was an expert dangerous thief from the West, whose record he would try and get. Brown was taken to Jeffer- son inarket in handcuffs by the two officers, Justice Duffy remanded him until to-day. Brown said he was in commercial business in St. Louis and that his arrest is ail a mistake. When asked about the name on the lining of his coat, he replied, “Go and find out.

Lonpox, June 20.—In the great political game * 18 The Central Traffic Association’s | CUD tay away, here for the moment no progress is made, the rea- son being that the Conservatives’ relation to Office is like that of the man who had a wolf by tho ears, and can neither hold it nor let it go. They cannot bold on, because the difficulties facing them seem insuperable, and nothing but discomfiture and ridicule await them. They cannot let go, bocauso this is their last chance for a Tory Government, possibly forever. But there is also an Indultely more important reason, though probably it wil! bo a surprise to Americans to earn it. That is because a large number of Conservatives who would get office are poor men, and desperately eager to secure some of the large emoluments at the disposal of the ministry. This is the constant statement in society here. Lord Churchill, for instance, has an income of £2,000, and lives at the rate of £5,000. Many others are really quite poor. If Gibson, for instance, holds the position he is men- tioned for, namely, Lord Chaneeilor of Ireland, for only one month, he will retire with a pension of $17,- 600 a year for life, The salary whilo he bolds the position is $40,000. S0, too, is it the case with Sir Henry Drummond Wolff, a man of great experi- ence and attainments, but limited moans, He has been an invaluadie supporter of Churchill, and one of the latter's fixed conditions was the due recognition of the former by the new Cabinet. Under tie cir- cumstances it is easily understood that it is im pos- sible to exagzerate the anger of the Tories toward the man who has go cleverly given them a “Wolff” to hold. Apropos of Salisbury's action in the House of Lords last night, this time it was the Tories who rejoiced and the Libefals who were indignant, As binted some time ago. Saisbury now shows his hand, and threatens the desperate exped.ent of an appeal to the country on the old franchise. SALISBURY 8 CONDITIONS. This was one of his original conditions to the Queen. He how demands, first, that all the time in tue Commons be placed at the d sposal of the Gov- ernment till the dissolution; second, that Gladstone guaraniee no Liberal opposition to the Conservative budget. Inregardtothis it can be stated, first, that Gladstone will give no guarantee of any kind. In fact, it is known that le lau, hed heartily at the mere idea. when speaking privately of the matter recently ; second, if G.adstoue did so, all the Radical members would strongly oppose him and refuse to be a party to anything of the kind. Last night one of the mit prominent Rad- als, a famous professor of political economy, said to your gorrespondent: It is per- fectly preposterous to expect me to give the sligut- ¢st assistance to the rascals.” There is, however, something to be said for Salis bury. If the distribution bill passes the House of Lords, and he takes office, he will find himself equally unable to govern or dissolve Pariia- meut till November It is impossible to imagine a moro RIDICULOUS POLITICAL DILEMMA, Nebady attempts to forecast the outcome. H the Liberals return to office, it is pretty certain that neither Spencer nor Hartington will return to the Cabinet wichout a Crimes Ac: for Ireland.” nor Chamberlain nor Dilke with it. It is generally felt that the Queen is pursuiag a1 unwise course late! v. Much indignation is expressed at the “indecent haste” with which she accepted Gladstone's resignation, and caused to de announced in her organ, the Court Circular, that Salis- bury had accepted, when,in reality, he had only signified his acceptance vn almost impossible conditions, Churchill will certainly be the rock on which the Conservative party will go to pieces. He is simply an impossible man. He has the worst temper of any man I have ever known," said, a few days ago, a man who has known him well for many years. HARCOURT'S BON MOT. A recent bon mot of Harcourt’s is worth repeat- ing: Some one said that Chamberlain had no claims whatever to be called an educated man. ‘If he were educated he would be spoiled," rejoined Harcourt. Itisamusing to imagine nim, for the first time, presiding over the India Council, whicn is perhaps the staiicst, soberest and most serious political body of men in the kingdom. If he be- comes Secretary for India, Dufferin's continuance in office will probably last till his first fit of bad temper. Your correspondent is in a position to state that the chief factor, indeed the key of the im- mediate political future of England, is where any one would be very unlikely to look for it, namely, in the condition of Gladstone's voice. Among Gladstone’s most remarkable characteristics is his extraordinary power of recuperation. In the past, no matter how fatigued his volce would be, a short rest always completely restored it. Lately, how- ever, hoarseness has been growing upon bim. an un- fortunate legacy of his great Midlothian efforts, and does not disappear as before after a rest. This ;is RENDERING HIM NERVOUS, and uncertain as to how far he can lead his party, as it is quite possible that he will be unable again to address large audiences; certainly not in the open air. Without these, his influence is necessarily much reduced, anu without his leadership the Lib- eral party would be distracted, possibly spiit. Your correspondent heard an excellent bon-mot of the Portuguese Minister when this subject was being discussed the other night. “If Gladstone is com. pelled to retire from an active share in the com- ing struggle,“ said he, remember what we did when the Cid died. We strapped his body on a horse and fo lowed it into battle and to victory. Do the same with your great leader. A monster memorial is under consideration from the whole body of Liberals in the country to Giad- stone, begging him to retain the leadership and give himself two months’ res. Said a prominent fol- lower: “There will be no need of any memorial.“ PARNELL TO STAY AT BOMB. Parnell authorizes the statement that he will not be able, on account of the great pressure of political work, to go to America this year. A deputation of Irish members will probably go, but not in any case till after the general election. T. P. O'Cannor, member for Galway, the author of the famous “Life of Beaconsfield,” one of the most estimable of Parnell's followers, is preparing a book, giving @n.account of the rise and history of the Parneilite 4 DINNER TO MINISTER PHELPS.

THE DEAD-LOCKE. The Pall Mall Gazette, in an editorial article, says that the opinion is growing that nothing will break the existing dead-lock but the return to Office of Mr. Gladstone. A MESSAGE FROM TIE QUEEN. Political matters are moving briskly to-day and the people are taking an active interest in the issue. This morning Sir H. F. Ponsonby, Private Secré- tary to the Queen, delivered to the Marquis of Salisbury a message from her Majesty. The Marquis, immediaiely upon receipt of the messa e, telegraphed Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, Mr. Arthur Balfour, Right Hon. Wm. Henry Smith and Right Hon. Sir Richard Ashton Cross, that he desired to meet them in council. In a short time the gentle- men named were in conference with the Marquis of Salisbury in his house. CONFLICTING REPORTS.

Captain McKee has been suffor- ing from a complication of-malaria and dyspepsia for several weeks past, and was so unwell when his boat, the City of Baton Rouge, started on her last trip, two weeks ago, that he was unable to take charge of her, and remained athome, This is the first time he has been absent from his post of duty for fourteen years,and, this fact, combined with the state of his health, made him despordent at times, not enough 80, however. to cause his friends any alarm or to arouse suspicion as to his inten- tion. He was not ili enough to be confined to his bed and was up and about yesterday in fair spirits. He took a walk yesterday afternoon, and as there was no revolver inthe house, he must then have obtained the weapon with which the deed was committed. He sent for some friends to come over and see him, as he said he was not. in good spirits and wanted cheering up. They came, and the Captain, after their departure retired, apparently in his usual spirits This morning he was feeling badiy, and said that what he had eaten the previ- ous day lay like a load on his stomach, and he concluded to remain in bed. His wife offered to remain in the room with him and have her breakfast sent up to her, but he insisted on her going down to breakfast. His son, Tandy H, McKee. the only other member of the family living at the hause, spoke to his father and advised himto take medicine. Both of them went down to breakfast about 7:30 o’ciock, A few minutes before 8 o'clock THEY HEARD A REPORT from the rear bedroom up- stairs, but concluded it was caused 5 tha fall of some article thought no more of it, Shortly afterwards Mrs. McKee went upstairs to her room.

The door of the room occupied by Tandy McKee was closed, and pushing it open she looked in, Her husband was lying on the bed. She took him by the shoulder and shaking him called out, * 1 what is the matter!“ Then first time she noticed blood on the bed and the side of his head, and gave the alarm. Capt. McKes was lying on the vel in his night dress. One hand was lying ou his breast and the other had dropped by his side. Near it was a thirty-two-calibre revolver of the ‘Avenger’ pattern. The weapon had been placed neariy again, head and the bali entered just back of the iple, passing through the brain. No e was left for his family. , Which was held at 11 o'clock, Mrs. the same effect was given by Mrs. McKee’s cousin, Mr. B. F.

He was a steady temperate man, and as far as is known was notin financial difficulties. A verdict was rendered in accordance with these facis. Captain McKee's remains will be taken to Boon- ville to-morrow evening for interment. Captain McKee's daughter, Mrs. C. R. Hutchison, has been telegraphed for. CAPT. M’KEE’S CAREER. Capt. Isaac H. McKee was 64 years old. and has been identified with the river for nearly fifty years, and nearly allof this time he has been running in Southern waters. The last boat he commanded ig the City of Baton Rouge of the New Orleans Anchor Line to which position be was promoted from the Vicksburg Anchor Line, when Capt. H. E. Bixby took charge of the new steamer City of Naichez. The decease@ has had command of the steamer known as the Belle Memphis, he having remained on this boat until she was disabled and the present Belle put in her place. While a man past middle age, he was noted for his coolness and bravery in times of excitement. He took a va- cation the last trip of his steamer, and the boat is now somewhere between Vicksburg and New Or- lvans in charge of Capt. Wm. Thompson. Among his most intimate friends on the Wharf, none appeared to be able to assign any cause for the rash act. His acquaintance among the river men was exten- sive, and his death is greatly regretted, GENERAL GRANT. The Sick Soldier Passes a Wakefal Night A Slight Improvement.

He had dozed — aah ot the forenoon, and sought thus to recover sleep lost by breaks of wakefulness during the night. Almost as soon as General Grant had taken his chair on the piazza, a lad, who headed a delegation of twenty chidren from the Saratoga High School, ascended the steps. bearing in his hands a bouquet, and, advancing to where the Gen- eral sat, the young spokesman for the party delivered a carefully pre- pared decigration of welcome and sympathy, As he fluished he handed the flowers to the Gen- eral, who rose, and, bowing to the children, faintly smiled and signitied a desire that Dr. Douglas should thank the chiidren for their greeting and their token. The physician did so in pleasant words of thanks, in which he said the Generai would be glad to say himseif if he could speak to them which was not possible in his coudition. The Gen. eral was not a liitle touched by-the incident, as the interest of children throughout his sickness has more deeply affected him than the more imposing remembranc -. of friends throughout the country.

Action Makes Them Necessary. — — — East-Bound Rates Are Not Demoral- ized — General Passenger Agents’ Meeting—Sanitary Measures Adopt- ed—Car Accountants’ Convention— Rail Notes. The Commissioner of the East- bound freight pool will call a meeting at his office in the Gay building on Monday. for the purpose of takiug up the for mation of several poois and arranging other points, so as to conform tothe action of the Central Traffic Association, which met in Cincinnati Wednesday and Thursday. It is proposed to take action on all business included in the territory bounded by Buffalo, Dunkirk, Wheeling and Bellaire on the east, the Mississippi River on the west, Cairo on the south and Milwaukee onthe north. H. 8. DePew, the Commissioner, says there is no truth in the reported demoralization of LEast- bound freight rates and that the rumor was started by some fast freight line agents. He had heard of an open reduction on tobacco out of Louisville and had telegrapued for information. When this is received he will also order rates re- duced to the proper basis. As far as any cutting is concerned Mr. DéPew dec!ares that the story is out of Whole cloth and that the person who gave the information tells a faisehood. The meeting of generai passenger agents of the Eastern lines heid yesterday at the office of J. M Chesbrough, ussistant geveral passenger agent of the Vandalia Line, resulied in nothing, and ad- ourued to meet again to-day at the same place, There appears to be a lack of enthusiasm on the part of those interested, and the opinion prevails Loat no action will be taken to advance East bound rates.

New York, June 2).—The suit of Ralph W. Bag - aley against Wm. K. Vanderbilt and others to wind up the affairs of the South Pennsylvania Railroad syndicate, and for the distribution of its property, came up for a hearing to-day before Chief Justice Sedgwick in the Superior Court, on a motion for an injunction and a receiver, In 1888 a number of gentlemen, including Wm. H. Vander- bilt, Wm. K. Vanderbilt, William ©. Whit- ney, Stephen B. Elkins, D. O. Milla, Andrew Carnegie, Joon D. Rockefeller and Abram 8. Hewitt, entered into a written contract whereby tney subscribed 515.000, 000 for the purpose of ac- uiring the property of the South Pennsylvania Railroad Company, which had outstanding 7,960 shares of siocs, amounting to $398,000, for the pur- of completing that line of railroad from the east bank of the „A River to the west bank of the 2 eny River. Five of the subscribers, Wm. anderbilt, H. McK. Twombley, Franklin B. Guwan, David Hostetter and Hy. F.

A SHOCKING CASE. | A shocking case of neglect and exposure was r to the Mayor is morning by Sergeant hore. At a very early hour three little girls, Kate, 12, 10 pol drenched Annie and Lizzie Dolan, aged spectively, were found by the nearly naked and rain. an open hallway Dickson street between Main street and the Levee. The poor children had been exposed all night to the heavy rain and were utterly destitute. The father is in the Work House and mother is known to the police asa drunken, dissipated outcast, who when drunk is found in the company of men and boys evenin the presence of her children. They have no care or protection and were brought to the Mayor by Sergeant Shore as abandon aud improperly exposed. Tue mother is in custody for drunk- enness and disturbance of the peace. The ‘family at one time occupied an empty room on Dickson street, but were recently ejected by the landlord. It was the custom of the mother to send the eldest girl out to beg, and the proceeds she used to spen in drink. If the child re- turned without aay from her beg- ging rounds she was severely whipped. A terrible story of further wrongs endured by che girl at the hands of her mother and her dissipated com- panions was referred to the Health Officer, and the chiid will be examined. The Mayor, aiter the case had been fully investigated by Commodore Smith, ordered the caildren to be committed te the House of Refuge for safekeeping. THE CITY'S WARDS. Superintendent Schaeffer of the House of Refuge reports 198 inmates at that institution, male and female. ‘They are ali in good health, and the num- ber is somew below the average.

The House will, how- ever, hold a session on Monday evening to hasten forward the appropriation and other measures of importance, THE KIRBY CHARGES, The Council Committee have at length resolved to take up the matter invoivi char against Superintendent Kirby of the Poor House.

Fourth street. Nine Miles in Three Minutes, From the Pittsburg Dispateca, the Mr. L. J.

The fastest train on the | a 22 | tm the world is neither tbe ‘Firing Dutchman’ nor | will note, there isa discrepancy between your dispatch to me and the prisoner's alias. The dis- tch read “J. C. Danguier.’ He gives it as Theo- ore Cecil D'Anquier. Your dispatch also gives the name of party murdered as Charles A. Gar- reier, but articles of clothing which I found among the prisoner's effects, and which, it is probable, be- longed to his victim, are marked C. A. F. I may here ‘state that a white shirt, undershirt and drawers, so marked, appear to have beer cut off the body after the crime was committed. At my request the Superintendent of Police sent two officers, in plain clothes, to the pilot station, some ten miles down the harbor, who boarded the steamer with the pilot, and delivered a letter from me 4 . captain, giving a description of the man wan and requesting that any assistance they might ask should be given. The consequence was that the arrest was made quietly, and the man was rémoved to the police station as soon as the ship reached the wharf, no excitement of any kind be- ing caused. He was very perceptibly astonished when the arrest was made, but recovered him- self almost immediatély and ‘declined to answer any questions until he bad secured counsel. He was examined on the day of apprehension, remanded until the following Friday, when examination took place before the commissioner appointed under the extradition act, who was quite satisfied with the evideuce I produced; remand can only be made for seven days, so that he must be brougnt into court once each day week until formally surrendered to the Government of the United States. His counsel disputes the legality of the warrant issued by the Governor for his arrest and the jurisdic- tion of -the Commissioner, an in- tends appealin to the Supreme Court when the judge returns from the annual cir- cuit he is now making, but Ihave no fear of the result. I hope to see your officer, armed with all necessary documents, when the steamship Zeal- andia arrives from San Francisco in the latter part of June. lam, sir, your obedient servant, Tnos. T. Gamsie, Vice Consul. The clipping referred to is taken from the morn- ing paper of Monday, May 5, and recounts what has already been made known to the readersof the Post-Dispatcnr, concerning the details of Maxweil's arrest and his examination by the commissioner. Consul Gamble, judging from his — and explicitness, is evideutly a very capable and well- informed gentleman, and his energy is testified to by the newspaper, which states that for fear Maxwell might leave the ship at Honolulu or Qutrulla, the consul sent descriptions to both those places with instruc- tions to arrest him. It appears that the arrest was such a peculiar one and presented such sensational features that the town was agog with excitement. The departure of ‘the two officers on secret service business so late in the afternoon constituted quite an event in that quiet antipodean city, and when it was given out that a murderer wgs to be apprehend- ed aboard tne ship, the paper says the news spread — through the town during the night. he description of Maxweil, as observed by the keen eyes of the reporter, is given as follows: “Maxwell is a man about 36 years of “FP: but does not appear to be more than 3). 0 ruddy complexion, light hair, mustache and impe- rial, large blue eyes, and prominent nose with rath- er dilated nostrils. His height is not more than 5 feet d inches. It is also stajed that the crew and passend ers ot the mail steamer speak very well of the prisoner, whom they describe as being very quiet and well-behaved on the passage down and as reserved respecting his private affairs.” A WARRANT REFUSED.

To-dav's developments in the. charges that were preferred yesterday against Deputy - Coroner Hennessy, full particu- ulars of which appeared in yesterday's Post-DisPatcoH. bave proved satisfactory to the accused official's riends.

Did you have a chance to leave the room, whgn you unlocked the door?” was asked her. 2) . by didn't you!“ “Weil, I was afraid to.“ She proceeded to state that several parties in the house were cognizant of the attempted assaults and were at hand ready to offer any assistance, being stationed 2388 folding doors leading from the parior into the Tear room, which were not locked, and were only deterred from entering the room by fear of the official's anger. On the strength of this testimony the Assistant Prosecuting Attorney said that no court would take cognizance of an offense committed under such circumstapoes, and that the girl's own story would not justify the warrant issuing.

THE supremacy of the St. Louis Gas Com- ‘pany over the House of Delegates was plainly set forth last night. Tue Republican continues to protest against the equalization of assessment. When you be- gin to pinch a monopoly you can almost always hear the Republican squeal. Tux bill to sell the city’s gas stock was recon- sidered by the Council last night. Gas stock is a good thing to hold—especially when it gives the city aslight leverage on a monopoly. SE RARE RR RTT ERE NY SARA WE are convinced that the City of St. Louis is owned by the Gas Company, but we should be sorry to believe that the State has no appeal from the jurisdiction of the railroad corpora- tions. Tue House of Delegates last night concurred in the Seddon resolution of the Counoil, re- questing the Comptroller and the City Coun- selor to appear before the State Board of Equalization, and represent the city of St. Louis. Wurx Mr. LACKLAND resigned the Presi- dency of the St. Louis Gas Company we ex- pressed the opinion that St. Louis had not gained much by changing the old man for the NEWMAN. Last night’s proceedings in the House of Delegates more than confirm our opinion. — — — — ‘GOVERNOR MARMADUKE is a member of the State Board of Equalization, and, as such, is under an official oath. He isaresident of St. Louis, and knows how property 1n St. Louis is assessed. He has been a State Railroad Com- missioner and knows what railroad property is worth, and what it is assessed at. We look to hiin to do his duty. THE Globe-Democrat states authoritatively that the Federal officials in St. Louis will not fall before the falling of the leaves. The orac- ular Bunsby of the Republican declares that they have not many more days left. It is pain- ful to think that President CLEVELAND has been guilty of deception in giving exclusive information to these two newspapers, but this is the only explanation. RAILROAD PRESIDENT DEVEREAUX is re- ported as having said before the Cullom Com- mittee, twenty years ago when the companies were earning 101g per cent dividends they paid their men on the average $1 perday. Now when they were declaring no dividends, and with all commodities greatly cheapened, the average per diem was $115.” Weare afraid that Mr. DevEREAUxX’s inclinations sway his recollection. Twenty years ago when railroad stocks were unwatered, when capitalization represented costs, when construction rings,» freight lines, car trusts, and other devices fr absorbing earnings were unknown, when wars and rebates were yet in the future, railroad companies earned 10 per cent on the cost of con- struction, instead of earning 20 per cent, as they do now. But in those halcyon days pig-iron was $40 a ton, we had a thousand million dol- lars of greenbacks floating around, and if Mr. DEVEREAUN was then in the railroad business he paid his men not $1 but 62 a day, and skilled labor was even more highly paid. Tux proposition to favor. a lot of. pet banks with deposits of the money belonging to the United States Treasury and to abolish the Sub- Treasuries, is said to be under consideration at Washington. This is simply a proposition to’ convert the people's money into so much free banking capital, lent to banks without interest. Such conversion and use of the funds of States and municipalities has filled our lecal politics with ring bargainings and corruptions, and led to defalcations and peculations innumerable, The only excuse for the system is that it makes active capital of money that would otherwise lie idle in treasury vaults, and this excuse stamps it as the expedient of a time when money was scarce and banks alone were relied on to issue it, Now the Government issues the currency and a glut of money is said to be one of the main causes of the business dullness. The coinage of silver and the issue of gold and silver certificates to ciroulate as representatives of money held in the Treasury are said to be in- flating the volume of currency too much already, less than nine members of Senator COCKRELL’S family are now supposed to be faithfully serv- ing their country in official positions scattered far and wide over the broad domain of this Union and in foreign lands, to-wit: Brother-in- Law Henry Ewina as Clerk of the State Supreme Court at Jefferson City; Brother-in- Law CAS EwinG as surgeon, U. S. A.; Brother-in-Law E. B. Ewmic as Consul-General to Mexico; Brother-in-Law J. M. Starr as Postmaster at Missouri City; Brother-in-Law Wax as State Claim Agent; Cousin AsH- LEY Ewrne as Capitol Commissioner at Jeffer- son City; Cousin FuLxxRSq as Postmaster at Lexington; Cousin Hoe C. WaLLACE as Receiver of Public Money at Salt Lake City, and Cousin JereR W. WALTHALL as Clerk in | the Collector's office at Hannibal. There may be others that we know not of, and there cer- tainly are others so busy watching and working for vacancies under a slow-moving Administra- tion that we cannot picture them to the mind's eye as loafing about Senator CoCKRELL’S quiet Warrensburg home at such a critical period in the history of our beloved country. . SOE ARR LEE 2 BAC AE AND now comes the Washington Post with another effort to set Mr. Bawarp right. The Post admits that, in reporting the interview in which Mr. BAyarp corrected the report of his speech at Columbia, the Post itself made him speak of BuRR as the Federalist nominee when he said nothing of the sort, and quoted him once as referring to HamiLtTon when he meant JEFFERSON, twice as referring to JEFFERSON when he meant HAMILTON, and once as refer- ring to President Jmarrarson when he said President ADAMS. Above all things Mr. Bay- ARD is an honorable, truthful man, and so justly proud of his distinguished ancestry that it is inconceivable that he should make such mis- takes in regard to the history of his grandfathers as were embodied in the reports of his Columbia speech and of his explanatory interview with the Post’s reporter. He could not help know- ing that it would never do for him to say that his grandfather cast the decisivé vote or any vote at all for JEFFERSON or that his grand- father declined a tender of the French mission from JEFFERSON ata time when the French mission was the last thing Mr. JEFFERSON would have tendered to a Federalist, and Mr. BAYARD about the last Federalist to whom he would have tendered it. Mr. Bayarp has suffered so much from blundering reporters on account of his recent speaking tour that we may hope he will stick close to his State Department duties for at least two years be- fore plunging actively into the struggle for the 88 nomination. —— EUROPEAN NOTES. During the past week the political situation in England has been s mplified by the formal accept- ance of the vacant premiership by the Marquis of Salisbury; but that situation is still far from being finally settled, owing to the usual difficulty of find- ing suitable subordinate members of the Govern- ment. and to the unusual difficulty of ascertaining whether the Liberal majority in Parliament will or will not allow the Tory Ministry to rule. The first difficulty is embarrasing, at least as regards one important candidate for office. Lord Randolph Ohurchill has done his party much valuable ser- vice ina fashion more characteristic than com- mendable, and he now insists upon having a gener- ous reward therefor; claiming, it is saia, the Secretaryship for India. Should he get the place, it is more than probable that the present Vic-rov, Lord Dufferin, will resign rather than be under the di. rection of one who mistakes energy and impudence for statesmanship, and who will play second fiddle to nobody if he can help it. Dufferin is altogether too valuable to be spared; hence, Salisbury hesi- tates over an appointment which may be the means of losing him, one for whom there is no available substitute. If Churchill is given some other office, he will not be satisfied, and in fact is not the sort of aman, in any respect, to share the duties and re- sponsibilities of imperial administration. And if “left out in the cold,” he will surely raise a row. The second difficulty is still more serious. The Liberals, though beaten on the budget bili, have a strong majority in the House of Commons, and can, it they choose, brea’ down the Tory Ministry at once. Salisbury knows this, and, it is reported, has asked for some agreement which will protect him from some such disaster. Ac- Voording to the same authority, Mr. Gladstone is ‘willing to pledge himseif and his party not to inter- fere, providing the new Government will not at- tempt tadisturb what has been done by the old. That is, if the Tories will content themselves with routine legislation during the brief remainder of the session, the Liberals will not trouble them. It is likely that some such arrangement will be effected, but as politics and politicians are much the same everywhere, there is no certainty that it will be carried out ia good faith on both sides. Predic tions are hardly in order, but it does not seem that any ministry, however able, taking office upon such precarious terms can last lonr. The Queen has offered Gladstone an Earidom., which he has declined. She will, it is said, urge acceptance, Dut with small prospect of success. An Earidom could add no honors to such a man, and he is wise enough to know it—and to prefer to go down to history as The Great Commoner"—plain William Ewart Gladstoue. Rumor affirms that if the husband perseveres in his refusal, the wife wil! be tempted with a peerage in her own right. Mrs. Gladstone ought to have, and we hope has, sense sufficient to resist the temptati on if presented. Sir Stafford Northcote did not have to be approached twiee by the same bait, and will be shelved in the Rouse of Lords under the imposing double-barreled title of Barl of Iddeisicigh and Visoount St. Cyres. The Telegraph gravely declares, for the benefit of everybody interested in such stuff, that Mr. Phelps, the American Minister, has attended the Ascot races, and was “delighted” with them; also that select company last evening. 80 our diplomatic relations with England may be coasidered very safe and for the present. Ireland promises to soon send an ambassadoria corps to America, in the Mr. Parnell and several friends The dbject of this mission is, of “to raise funds for the political campaign.” Thisis a very bard year fer fund-raising, but if blood can be, drawn from the political wrnip, Parnell & Co. are the men to doit.

Old Manteuffel was a hero.of the ultra Prussian type, and belongs to a school which has few members now remaining. to life with such remarkable tenacity the obituary makers have long since given him up in despair. The German press, as far as heard from, considers the ministerial change in England as very favorable to Germany; Salisbury having always been friend'y to the Empire, while Gladstone is reckoned just the reverse. It is thought that all unsettled ques- tions between the two countries will now be speed- ily and amicably adjusted, and in the interests of Germany. Gladstone may possibly have some- thing to say before such adjustment is finally con- summated. Anti Semitic riots having been temporarily sus- pended in Austria, the workingmen at Brunn are striking and fighting for shorter hours and higher wages. The time was, and not very long ago, when an Austrian workingman would no sooner have thought of striking than of flying; so the modern leaven is slowly penetrating hide-bound and case-hardened monarchy. The world moves,“ even in Austria; but al the same, the three Em- perors, William, Francis Joseph and (Alexander, will soon meet for the purpose of hindering it from moving too fast or too far. The place of meeting is Reichstadt Castle. in Bohemia. Russia dislikes the change of English ministry as much as Germany likes it; for the very sens- ible reason that the Afghan business is not yet set- tled, and that the Tories are not as likely to be as complacent as were the Lib- erals. One Russian journal goes so far as to say that the appointment of Lord Randolph Churchill to the Indian Secretaryship will be equiv- alent to a declaration of war. This is an exagger- ated view of the case, but indicates the feeling with which Salisbury and his colleagues will have to deal. Onthe other hand, the Roman organ of the Vatican is highly pleased at the Tory triumph and predicts a great many great and good things from it. In Spain the cholera monopolizes public attention. The epidemic is spreading, and, as even sanitation and disinfection, it is likely to continue to spread. Poor Spain! Ignorance and superstition have had full swing there for three hundred years, and the result is that the bulk of the population had rather die by cholera than live by science— though science only urges the simplest and cheap- est precautions. If an epidemic of education could break out and become chronic in Spain, what a blessing it would be for the country! Which is History? From the New York Worid. In his just-published second volume of the “His- tory of the peopie of the United States” Mr. J. A. McMaster makes a deliberate attempt to rob the Republic of one of its most cherished traditions. He boldly avers as follows: “It has been long popularly believed that at noon Jefferson, unattended by a living soul, rode up the Capitol Hill, tied his horse to the picket-fence, en- tered the chamber of the Senate and took the oath of office. The story, unhappily, is not true. Sur- rounded by a crowd of citizens and a troop of militia, beating drums and bearing flags, he ambled slowly on to the Capitol,and mounted the steps, wita the shouts of a multitude and the roar of can- non ringing in his ears.” On the other hand, in his carefully prepared biog- raphy of Jefferson in the Encyclopedia Brittanica, Mr. John Bigelow says: “His Administration of twice four vears was characterized by the simplicity which distinguished hia conduct in private life. He eschewed all pomp and ceremony designed artificially to distinguish the President from the people. His dress was “of Plain cloth” on the day of his inauguration. In- stead of driving to rhe Capitol in a coach and six, as had been the practice, he rode there on horse- back, without a guard or even a servant in his train, dismounted without assistance and hitched the bridle of his horse te a fence.” As beiween the two Johns, McMaster and Bige- low, tke popular belief will still be with John Bigelow,,who has followed Randolph and other biographers in his narrative of the Jeffersonian simplicity attending the inauguration. Mr. Mo- Master is too young à man to upset the old popular belief. A Hamiltonian Crank. From the Chicage Tribune. The States are political corporations organized for local government and subject under the Consti- tution to the control of National authority. How can a corporation be sovereign? It is part of the claim af the State-sovereignty bigots that all the States are equally independent, and it must necessa- rily be true that the position of any one in this re- spect is the same as that of the others. No one has yet esserted that some States are sovereign“ and others not, How is it, then, with the eight States that were formed out of the old Loutsiana pur- Chase? Where do they get their sovereignty? The Federal Government bought them from France and paid for them out of the National Treasury. No man could lawfully go into one of these States or ac- quire a foot of land there without first getting per- mission from the National Government. Individu.- als still hold their lands in these States as based on a Government title in the first place Those States were at the outset merely the property of the Na- tion, and they exist now as political corporations simply because the Federal Government saw fit to make them such. Deriving their entira political character from the grant and consent of the Na- tional Government, they are nevertheless precisely equal to all the other States and exisi as political corporations subject under the limitations of the Constitution to the control of National authority, The National Government made them what they are. How can the creature be sovereign over its creator? How Watered Stock Pays. Gath in Cincinnati Inquirer. Imet Dr. Norvin Green @ moment Thursday. Said I: ‘Doctor, I see that you are sueing peop’e.” “Yes,” said the doctor, at an advanced age I find myself in the Police Court.” “What is the matter in disetesion!"’ “Why, one ot the numerous Wall street sheets publishes the statement that the Western Union Telegraph Company has made no money to pay dividenda on. The corporation claims that this is alibel. I know it is.” Said 1: “The Western Union Telegraph seems to me to be taking in money about as fast as any of the corporations in these reduced times.” “Gath,” repiied the doctor, “we have paid $25,000,000 in dividends since we bought up the American Union Telegraph. Company, four years and a halt ago. We have paid 7 per cent dividends and are now paying 6 per cent, because we de- olared to-day adividend of 154 per cent on the quarter. We have had to acquire an enormous amount of additional property, and yet we have continued to pay a higher range of dividends than any of the corporations of the time.” + A Rural View. : From the Jefferson City Journal, i The Por Draven has undertaken to criticise | the St. Louis Republicas over the matter of city as- ‘him to refute any imputation on the person against * | extreme ed eee wrongs inflicted upon suffering humanity in Mis- souri, all on account of the reilroads being valued too low.

The Oleomargarine War. From the New Torn World. The Court of Appeals yesterday rendered a de- cision declaring the law to prohibit the manufacture and sale of eleomargarine in this State unconstitu- tional. The judgment of the General Term of the Supreme Court maintaining the constitutionality of the law was reversed, This decision does not interfere with or invalidate laws to prevent the fraudulent sale of oleomargar- ine as dairy butter. Neither does it affect legisla- tion to prohibit and punish the manufacture and sale ofa deleterious article under the name of oleomargarine. The case was argued on the ground that oleomargarine masufactured by the French process patented by M. Mege. the French inventor, has been decided by competent authority to be a genuine food product, not detrimental to health, and that as such its manufacture and sale carino more be prohibited than the sale of dairy butter: On this point the judgment ef the Court of Appeals is based. But while it is unconstitutional to prohibit the manufacture and sale of genuine oleomargarine as an interference with legitimate trade, itis within the province of the Legisiature to prohibit and punish its sale as dairy butter, to require its brand- ing and under sanitary regulations to prevent the manufacture of any spurious, impure and un- wholesome article. Cincinnati Journalism. From the Cincinnati Enquirer. The greasy chunk of blubber at Fourth and Race is out on another begging and ‘blackmailing tour. This is a society item. The vain old blubber of the 0. G. announced to the press yesterday that he was about to start for an Eastern watering piace. He is a Har. He is going up into the country to try to strike somebody for a loan We have a whim, however, that be will steer clear of Charley Foster and Sam Thomas. The venerable Mr. Ely, the agricultural editor of the Commercial Gazette, had the milsfortune to have his pocket picked the other day. We believe the police have not yet made a discovery in the matter, though the absence of Mr. Ely from the C. G. office at the time he lost his money will enable whom suspicion might naturally be directed. in con- sequence of recent transactions with the Republican National Committee. Anyhow, itis not probable Mr. Ely had as much as $15,000 on his person. The fact that Mr. Halstead left the city yesterday rather suddenly may have more er less bearing in spite of Mr. Ely’s testimony. The Tearful Taylor, From the New Yerk World. Ohio seems to be prolific in mourners over what the “old soldiers” must suffer by seeing the Demo- cratic party come into power, and after Mr. Mahlon Chance, Mr. J. D. Taylor, temporary chairman of the Ohio State Republican Convention, bas had his bowl. And the intensity of his own, if not the old soldiers’, suffering culminates in the agony of “seeing the men they fought and vanquished on the fleld elevated to the high places of the nation and intrusted with the public welware.“ But Mr. Tay- lor did not mention the agony he endured when the bushwhacking guerrilla Mosby was paid for becoming a Republlean with the Consulship at Hong Kong; nor did he allude tothe Cabinet posi- tion awarded to Key by Hayes of Ohio; norto the long handling of all the Federal appointment in Virginia by the “Rebel Brigadier“ Mahone; nor to the payments in public plunder and offices to General Longstreet, Ackerman, Settle, Holden, Orr and the hundreds of Rebel“ postmasters through- out the South, and officials in the Southérn customs houses and internal revenue offices, who can now join their tears to Taylor's. The Boss Business, From the Louisiana Press. We understand that an arrangement is being attempted by which the offices in St. Louis will be given to thore who secure the indorsement of two out of the three Congressmen from St. Louis. Not only would such an arrangement cause great dissatisfaction, but it would result in the certain political ruin of any Congressman who happened to be a party to it.—{St. Louis Republican, This was exactly the method adopted in the ap- pointments of Mr. Voorhig, collector of this district; Mr. Hasbrook collector in the Kansas City district, and Mr. Benton, United States District Attorney forthe Western District of Missouri. A caucus at Washington determined upon this method shortly afver the inauguration, and this paper spoke of it at the time, and also of the combinations formed in making these appointments, but we looked in vain then for a word from the Republican or ary other prominent organ of the party in this State. The Republican is rather slow catching on to the methods, though we indorse its position taken even at this late day. Walker's Guarantee. From the Louisiana Press. ' When the Commissioners were here Auditor Walker laid much stress on the fact that the town selected must give some guarantee that the convict labor could be eraployed; and he was informed by manufacturers and others that they regarded Hau- nibal and Louisiana as excellent points, and assur- ances were given by these gentiemen that they would take the convict labor, while atthe same time none of these gantlemen were Willing to go to Cape Girardeau, and of this the Commissioners were fully advised. Again, Auditor Walker himseif spoke of the folly of locating the Penitentiary on a branch railroad, and of the absolute importance of good railroad facilitivs, citing the Penitentiary at Chester, Il, as an example, and yet he voted to locate it at a place with no railroad except a little bob-tall connection with the Iron Mountain. These are some of the points that we directed attention to, and they cannot be answered by Auditor Walker's 6pecial dispatches, manufactured at Jef- ferson City. 1 Grant and Lincole's First Meeting.

Why, I know half a dozen bakers who make from eighty to a hundred barrels of flour a day into bread. Don't you there’s money in it? Bread costs them jess than 8 cents @ pound baked. They sell the loaves from 5 to 10 cents, and there is not more than two pounds in the biggest of them. They made a respectable profit on the bread when flour was 88 a barrel. I don't think the loaves are any bigger now that flour ie cheaper. A baker who uses a hundred bar- reis of flour for his business don’t take in a cent less than $1.000. Knock off $400 for his flour, and, 800 pretty little profit left. Unequal Taxatien. From the LaGrange Democrat. St. Louis citizens claim that they are taxed to death, and are organizing to resist the onerous im- position. To own a house and lot in the city is ex- pensive, but to pay the tax is more so. City and towr real estate is invariably taxed too high. A man puts $2,000 into a house and lot in the city and he pays upon almost the full amount. A farmer spends the same amount upon improvements and the rate per cent is not increased by sodoing. Often a house and jot, even in a small, unprogressive tewn, are taxed as much as a farm of 160 acres with houses, barns, etc., worth quite as much as those upon the town property. Of course, a great deal of city personal property escapes taxation, but the overvaluation of city real eatate doesn’t remedy the difficulty by any means. If possible, the personal property in town and country should be dug up aod taxed, but there should be no unjust discrimination against the owners of city or town real estate. Taxation should correspond in some degree, at least, to the real value and productiveness of the item taxed. Chewing the Public Teat. From the La Grange Democrat. Lucky people, those Cape Girardeau land owners. The Thirty-second General Assembly appropriated $250 to pay for anapproach to the Normal School, or at about the rate of $500 per acre, which, coming upon the heels of a $25,000 appropriation for re- pairs to the building and maintenance of the school seemed to ordinary people a trifle cheeky. But cheek is trumps inthis game and never fails to win. First get a State institution, and then sell the State everything it gets at four prices. It costs the State more to builda stable or dead house at Ful- ton, to construct a coal shed at Cape Girardeau, or dig a well at St. Joseph, to put in a furnace at Kirksville or prop up a wall at Warrensburg, than it would require to build a small-sized town upon private means in any other part of the State. This unwonted liberality with public funds should be re- buked. It has gone quite far enough, and it is now high time to call a halt. Railroad Assessment. From the Dexter Euterprise- Messenger. i The railroad property in the State cost ever $350,000,000, and is valued at over one bundred millions by the companies themselves, according to the returns to the Railroad Cofimissioners. How an Officer of the State of Missouri can so far forget his duty to the people and so discriminate against the other taxpayers of the State, and in favor of these corporations, {sa conundrum, and it is cer- tainly not right, and the E.-M, would like to know what plausible excuse the men composing the State Board of Equalization have to offer for their action in this matter. Gallant Col. Switsler. From the Chicage Herald. Switzler, the rew chief of the Bureau of Statistics is carrying Jeffersonian simplicity a little too far. On taking office he called his assistants about him and made a spebch, saying that he was always ao- cessible, that no one need knock on entering his room, and that he intended to visit them all at their nomes. As good many of “them” are rather nice looking gi de may get into trouble. Thomas Jefferson“ / writings contain no authority for this proceeding, and the rules of the Civil Service Com- mission seem to run contrary to it. Railroad Taxes, From the Fredericktown Plaindealer. ‘a It the State Board of Equalization should take the sworn value of railroad property in Missouri as estimated by the Railroad Commissioners, Madison County assessment alone would be increased $460,- 000, from which $1,600 in taxes would be paid into our treasury. The Commissioners value every mile of the Belmont branch at $25,000. The State Board of Equalization, of which State Auditor John Walk- er isa member, says $5,500 a mile is evough. His ideas of the values of swamp lands and railroads are slightly at variance. The Pardoniag Power. From the Kansas City Journal. Governor Marmaduke is makingas numerousa record, 80 to speak, in turning the rascals out of the Pehitentiary as our two Senators are in putting their families in office. The juxtaposition of the Governor’s pardoning power and our Senators’ political power in this paragraph does not intend to convey the idea that rascals are getting in as well as out, unless our Senators still hold tothe belief that nepotism isa great crime, which they were wont to describe is when charging the Republican party with it. Board of Trade Testimony. From the Louisiana Press. 0 And now comes L. J. Albert, president of the Board of Trade of Cape Girardeau, and in the St. Louis Post-DispaTon deposeth and gays, that the land selected for the proposed Penitentiary site has been on the market at $800 per acre for the last twenty years, but that the owner has been unable to find purchaser. It is more than probable that unless It is sold to the State ft will sttll be offered at that price with no takers when the last trumpet is sounded summoning mortality to judgment.

Brom the Sedalia Democrat. If railroad property was assessed at the same rates that the property of individuals is assessed, and the owners of it were compelled to pay taxes at that rate, every Missouri State bond could soon be bought in and the State would have a sinking fund that would enable it by legislation or to assist counties to pay off their debts. A Wasted Warning. From the Boonville Advertiser. The St. Louis Post-Dispatcs continues to bray at Senator Cockrell because a few of his “relatives” have been recognized. Senator Cockrell is a man of a lovely disposition, but when he gets “broke up“ the damning he will give the Post- Disrarcn will make it flee to a convenient hole. We warn it to quit its favorite amusement. Jay Gould Retorts on Us. From the Jefferson City Tribune. The Post- Dispatou insisis that the railroads are assessed too low, and that property in St. Louis has been assessed too high. We believe the latter statement correct eo far as the valuation of the Post-Dispatcn is concerned. It has been rated entirely too high. It ought to be cut down over half. He is a Cousin.

The multiplicity of high articies presents a constant temptetion to evasion and fraud on account of the greatly increased profit that may be made if it ig successful. It fosters ingenuity in the process of evasion and gives an advantage to tricky importers whose consciences are not sensi- tive to violations of revenue laws whick, on general principles, they believe to be unjust.

The Iniquity Imposed on the Tax-Payers of St. Louis Under That Name. * How Our Tax Laws Are Violated and Perverted Into Engines of Oppression. — — * Railroad Assessments Shown Up and Contrasted With the “Equalized” Valuation of Other Property. St. Louis is paying fdr more than her proportion - ate share of State taxes, and that.this is the result of a grossly unequal assessment is admitted by the very State officers to whom alone the law commits the duty of equalizing. the valuation of taxables among the different counties. To enter into this subject from the right angle, it is necessary to start from THE LAW OF THE CASE. It is impossible to read the Constitution of Mi- gouri and not be impressed by the jealous care with which its framers guarded against inequality zin assessment and taxation. It carefully specifies the public property it exempts and that which may, by general law, be exempted from taxation, such as used exclusively for agricultaral and hor- ticultural societies, or for religious, educational or charitable purposes @xclusively. It expressly pro- vides that the power totax corporations or cor- porate property “shall not be surrendered or suspended by the General Assembly," and that “all railroad corporations in this State, or doing busi- ness therein, shal! be subject to taxation for State, county, school, municipal and other purposes, on the real and personal property owned or used by them, and on their gross earnings, their net earnings, their franchises and their capital stock.” # It provides that taxes “shallbe uniform upon the same class of subjects within the territorial limits of the authority levying the tax;" that No county. city, town or other municipal corporation, nor the inhabitants thereof, nor the property therein, shall be released or discharged from their or its pro- portionate share of taxes to be levied for State pur- poses: that the valuation of property for local taxation shall not exceed the valuation of the same property in such town, city or school district for State and County purposes; and that all property subject to taxation shall be taxed in pro- portion to its value. The better to insure the en- forcement of these provisions, Sec. 18, Art. 10 reads as follows: “There shall be a State Board of ualization, con-isting „of the Governor. State Auditor, State Treasurer, Secretary of State and Attorney-Gen- eral. The duty of said board shall be to adjust and equalize the valuation of real and personal property among tle several counties in the State, and it Si I perforin such other duties as are or may be presciibed by law.” WITAT THE STATUTES COMMAND. Accordingly the statutes, after couferr:ng upon ths board the power “tosend for persons and papers, to administer oaths through its officers or agents. and to take all evidence it may deem nec- essary to ascertain the value of the property in the diferent counties in the State,“ provide further as follows: Sec. 6608.—“"The State Auditor shall lay before the bourd the abstracts of all the taxable property in the State, and the abstracts of the sales of real ésinte in such counties, as returned to him by the respec.iive County eres and the President of the of Assessors for the city Louis, and the board shall procesd to equalize the valuation thereof a eng the respective counties in the following manner, to-wit: First, they hat and to the valua- ti mot the property, real or personal, in each county which they believe is valued below its true vaiue in money, such per centum in each case as will raise it to hs true value; second, they shall deduct from the valuation of the property, real or perso of each county which they believe to be valued above its real value in money, such perbentage as will reduce the same in each cage to its true value.” Sec. 6,670.—“When the State Board ef Equaliza- tion shall have completed its labors, the State Audi- tor shall immediately transmit te each Couaty Clerk the per centum added to or deducted from the valuation of the property in his county, specify- ing the percen added to or deducted from tbe real property and the p-rsonal property respective- ly, and also the value of the real and nal prop- erty of nis county as equalized by said board: and tne said Cierk shall furnish one copy thereof to the As-essor and one copy to be laid before the annua! County Board of Equalization. And it shali be the duty of he State Auditor to require of the Clerks of the several County,Courts of this State to keep up the aggregate valuation of real and personal property in tneir respective counties, for those ears in which no State Board of ualization is eld, to the regate amount fix by the last tate Board ualization.“ 4 TREMENDOUS POWER. Plainly our law rests the equalization of asseas- ments and the equitable operation of our system of taxation upon the fidelity, firmness and intelligence with which the members of the State Board of Equalization may enforce the provisions of the Constitution on this subject and perform the duties imposed on them by law. Upon them is devolved a most grave responsibility, and, by the slightest deviation from the strict line of duty marked out for them by the law of the land, they usurp a tremendous power, the power to convert our tax Jaws into a monstrous system of injustice and oppression, the power to crush some counties, cities or sections of the State with unequal burdens vhile releasing others, contrary to law, from their proportionate share of the taxes. The valuation of the property as equalized by them in any locality isthe maximum limit of all assessments for local purposes. In fixing the valuation of. railroad property for every county, town and school district in the State, they fix a practically coercive ttendard of valuation for all, aud not to apply that standard themselves rigidly and impartially to the assessment im St, Louis and in every county of the @tate, is to . violate one of the most ~ solemn to shirk one of the mest important duties of t OMicial positions. : DISREGARDING THR LAW. To show how they are, from ignorance, inatten- tion or gross fav ritiem, atterly neglecting their duty in this respect and subjecting our people to a of System of assessment that is a shocking travesty of equalization, the Posr-Direparon will, as occasion covers, hold up the detatis of thelr rallroad Gasede- ment throughout the State in comparison with ordi - nary standards of valuation, and with the assess ment of the property of individualg in St. Louis and in other sections of the State ONE CASE IX POINT. : The limits of this article will confine us for the present to one road, and we begin with the St. Louis and Ban roads of of the Democratic State Uentral Committee and general manipulator of Democratic Conventions end Legislatures. It s also under the protection of ov Democratic éx-Goversors who are enjoying ra road salaries proportioned to their great ability aud influence—but that is neither bere nor there.

According to the State Board of Equalization, it should not be taxed more than $12,485 67. The Railroad Commis- sioners officially report that this property should pay in the way of local taxes to the counties through which it rans more than three times as much as the State Board of Equalization will permit them to collect from it. i Which is the true valuation, or the nearest to it? THE COMMISSIONERS’ VALUATION. In the first place, the Railroad Commissioners’ valuation is far below that put upon the property and franchises exclusive of all other assets in the report of the company’s officers to the stockholders for the year ending December 81, 1884. According to that report, the 786 miles in operation were worth $49,020,968, or $62,867 per mile, including the 300 miles of unfinished branches in the Indian Ter- ritory, Arkansas and elsewhere. The value of the main line in Missouri must be immense to bring the outside branches up to such an average. But the Commissioners do not base their valua- tion of the property in Missouri upon anything but its net earning capacity, asshown by the compa- ny's own reports of the whole property's actual earnings and expend- itures. In their own report for the year ending December 81, 1888, the Commissioners printed the reports of the company, which fully sustained the conclusion which they presented in the following words: oat on 8201600 ot banda, aT’ per cone, dividedd On $4,500,000 of stock, making a 7 per cent charge on a total of $5,841,000, and 6 per cent interest, also, on $21,261,000 other bonds; that is to say, it 6 per cent and over on a total capital of 835 6000 The average number of miles o year was 734.46; and the above ven, divided by the number operated gives $86,219 as the average amount of capital per mile of road, on which this property pays over 6 per cent after paying all expenses, in- cluding improvements. Though the property was stocked and bonded to the amount of $66,611 per mile, and that part in Missouri had to carry this valuation for the outside branches, theCom missioners considered only the$36, - 219 of capital per mile on which the Missouri property was shown by the company’s reports to be paying over 6 per cent. And when called on by the State Board of Equalization, the Commissioners esti- mated the value at $22,600 per mile, iess than two- thirds of the capital per mile on which the whole concern was earning and paying over 6 per cent! THE ASSESSMENT. As for the valuation put upon this prop- erty per mile by the State Board of Equalization, that is only one-tenth of the amount it is stocked and bonded for, It is much less than one-fifth of the amount per mile on which the net earnings pay over 6percent. The com- pany reported its average gross earnings per mile in 1884 at $5,906 and its net earnings per mile at $8,190. The State Board of Equalization assesses the property at an average of $6.573 per mile, or only about twice the net earnings per mile, a valuation which would hardly pay for the rails at a second hand sale, and which is ridiculously small as compared with the cost or the earnings of the property or with any other common-sense sta ndard of valuation. „ Ik all other property in Missouri were favored with such an assessment, the State Government would soon have to go into baukruptey or greatly multiply the rate of taxation. EXCUSES. One excuse for it is that other property in Mis- souri is variously assessed at from one-fourth to one-half its true value, except in St. Louis, where real estate is generally assessed at its full value and sometimes higher than the owner's asking price. Under the Constitution, it is the duty of the State Board of Equalization to} have property of every kind assessed everywhere in Missguri according to its true value. If not so assessed anywhere it is the Board's own fault, asd the lowest assessment recorded anywhere is not low enough t@ give the owners of the property such an exemption from taxation as the State Board gives to railroad prop- erty. Another excuse is that railroad property is let off with a lower assessment in some other States. The answer to this is that the assessment of Missouri property should be governed by the laws of Mis- sour and not by the laws of other States. Other States have other systems of assessment and taxa- tion and other ways of deriving a revenue from railroads, as in Pennsylvania or in Iinols, where one road of 705 miles pays more into the State Treasury than all the 6,000 miles of railroad prop- erty in Missouri. 4 CONTRAST. The poor man who lives in 4 St. Louis cottage has to pay $2 55 on every $100 of its full value. He has to pay the same rate on the household and kitohen furniture, which he la wearing out and wich yields him no income. and a job wagon he has to pay the same rate on them, and In addition pay for a ity license, whether they earn him enough to pay for horse feed or not, To assess and tax him thus when railroad property earning 6 per cent On g Gap- ital Of $86,000 per mile js assessed for taxation at only $6,000 a mile, is outrageously unjust and op- ‘| pressive. | , A QUESTION QF PUBLIO POLICY. "4 The fact that railroad companies are overloading themselves with non-paying extensions and are going into the hands of receivers or being sold out under mortgages is no 19a80n for asséssing them below their true value as ¢stimated from their not earning capacity. Poor's Tanual has shown that in 1888 the railroads of the entire country paid out in dividends and interest 836.911. 84. equaling 9 ot nee aad - he owns a team capital could be eliminated from their accounts, their success as investments would have na _ paral- lel ‘This, too, in spite of the framis by which the money of investors is stolen through construction company rings and devices. The secret their method terest on this vast amount of fictitious capital is at the bottom of the presént disturbance of trade, While the companies are thus mating the country pay a big interest on double the cost of their prop- pay a small tax on its true value, determined by a comparison of its real cost with its earning capac ity. But hereisthis St. L. & 8. F. Road, capital ia ing its property in stooks and bonds at $66,611 per mile to make the public pay fixed charges on capi- tal representing nothing but book-keeping entries— making the public pay operating expenses and over 6 per cent on a capitalization of $86,219 per mile—and yet assessed for taxation at only $6,578 per mile by our complaisant State Board of Equali- gation.

Mr. Thomas King, colored, living in Madison County, Lil., came to the city on Thursday with a load of produce, which he disposed of, and in- vested part of the proceeds in strong drink. He put his team of mules up at a stable on Broadway, near Cass avenue, but ina short time returned for them and drove tothe wagon yard of Henry Stromberg at Second and North Market streets, where he usually s‘ops. The gate to the yard was opened for him to drive in, but instead of going in he drove past, going south on Second street, and now informs the police that he but his team upat a stable where there was a fine bar-room attached and left $20 in money in care of the bar-keeper. He was given a slip of poner with the number of the lace, which he lost. rom that time he remem- rs nothing until yesterday morning, wien he woke up and found himself sitting on a door-step on Franklin avenue.

The Miltionsire and the Works of Art on the Wabash Building. — — — Jay Gould's Vain Efforts to Dispose of Two Dozen Stone Effigies—F ailing to Sell Them, He Makes a Desperate Attempt to Give Them Away—Even the Republican Refuses Them. Jay Gould is in pickle. With all his millions he is hard up, for an idea. A man of resources he is going from one intellectual back door to another begging for a suggestion. Though his tabie could groan, if he let it do ao, with seasonable delicacies that tickle the palate, he cannot find acrust in his cerebral pantry with which to feed his hungering soul. Poor Jay! He is now tasting the bitter joys of having more of the world's {treasures than he knows what to dowith. He is now in the agoniz- ing attitude of a man who wants to give something away and cannot find anybody to take it off bis hands. Nobody is rash enough to pay drayage on the gift. Nobody thinks the donation worth house- room, Even Jay Gould himself is tired of it, and when Jay Gould gets tired of a thing you can bet forty cents that it is either eating its head off ina stable or drawing a regular salary for doing nothing. Jays trouble is this: He owns a big building at the corner of Sixth and Locust. In it are located the offices of thé Wabash and other railroads. Fringing its roof are 24 malformations in stone that short-sighted people have become accustomell to calling statues. These misplaced hitching postg have braved the weather and defied public senti- ment for over a dozen years, „Tuey represent noth- ing now alive nor anything that is dead, but like nuine works of art, thev are supposed to have ad originally in flesh and blood. A hallucination cherished equally by the man who knocked the corners off tne chunks of stone and the other man wiio had the work done, was that some of these quarry-begotten freaks were dead images of cer- tain old mythological canary birds called Minerva, Juno, Venus, Melpomene and so on, while the male contingent were the exact spit“ of corner loafers, war veterans, or labor agitators who flourished in Greece and elsewhere several years B. C., or maybe a little later, and were known by the ciassic cogno- mens of Homer, Vulcan, Agamemnon, eto. IN CLEAR WEATHER, ’ however, a one-eyed man cannot tell one statue from another. They as much alike as Chinamen, or silver doliars. A Professar of An- cient History from Washington University exposed himself on the roof of the big building for three days and two nights trying to pick Mercury out of the lot. At last he settled on one of the tallest fig- ures in wie Fane —a female with excessive drapery,’ gartered and hair dressed a la Lily Langtry. There! said he triumpuantly to his companion, à professor of poets. ‘There he is, or at any rate that's as near as lean come to him.” ‘“Pshaw!" said the other “that’s not Mercury.” Not Mercury?” exciaim the Professor of Ancient History; then who is it?’ “Why, said the poetry man, it's Mary Anderson. Don't you see she’s got a manuscript in her hand? she's reading a new play. And so it was, or seemed to be, although that statue has been on the roof louger than Mary Anderson has been on the stage. itis a standing joke among the Wabash clerks that even such an erudite gentleman as Jay Gould when asked to point out Agamemnon mistook one of the alleged Cupids on the corner of the buiiding for the Joun Sullivan of old. These little discrepancies, however. did not, worry Jay in the least. What caused his anguisti was not the identification of the statues, but the disposition of them. Like ail men of wealth he is a profound believer in aerial real estate. He thinks @ man’s property should be measured, not by the front foot along the pava, but against the sky. Height and not superficial area is the groundwork of his religion as far as it coucerns property. Recently he conceived the idea of put- ting anew four-story building in mid -air—putting it, in fact, on top of the present Wabasia building. Ashe wants the place now occupied by tue stone dime museum for the cellar of the new structure, the supposed statues must go. But where? would be an easy thing to dispose of his couection of damaged LIMESTONE BRIO-A-BRAO, but he soon found out that it was not. He thought at first of selling the statues, aud he would have done so quicker than lightning, but he could not finda purchaser. Then he slowiy made up his mind that here was a chance to be generous. Bill Vanderbilt had given $250,000 toa medical college, Other millionaires had been liberal in endowing public instatutions. Why should not he give away part of his possessions, particularly when he could not sell them. He would astonish the world by suddenly blossoming forth as a philonthropist or something of that kind. He would present Bis rocky collection to somebody. And he chose to inflict his gift on St. Louis, possibly because he does not love the city, but probably because he is averse to dead-neadiug the s@atues to even an adjacent point ou the Wa- bash Line. He offered the grotesque group, merely as a feeler, to the Museum of Fine Arts, but Professor Ives and the other gentiemen interested shook their heads. They said they woulda’t let one of the statues into the building even if it offered to pay the twenty-five cents admission fee. For what reason (uey barred the innocent creatures in stone they did not say, but one gentleman was heard to remark that when tuey get ready to exhibit natural curiosities they would go to tne White Mountains and bring in the profile rock that is known as the Old Man of the Monntains. Some- body sugges.ed that perhaps the Wabash statues had too many clothes on them forthe Museum of Fine Arts.

He paid 8150 in trade dollars to Chung Wah Ho to help along festivities, and sailed for America, booking as Mr. Joe James and wife. When Chung Wah had retired from his bench he had not contemplated a return to this barbarous country; therefore he neglected to get 1 Joe James is wily and he is deep. He passed the honeymoon in instilling „Mellican“ talk into his wife’s mind, When the customs authorities refused to allow the new wife to land at the Golden Gate Joe James instructed Chung Sui Pang to trot forth her English, and she swamped the officers with smiles and gurgling compliments, ‘How do? Me Mellican lady. Me heapee long timee lib Flisco. Me hkee nice Mellican man,” lisped Mrs. Joe James, and, although she couldn't understand a word of what they talked back to her, she won, and was permitted to pass ashore. Cunning Joe James wears store clothes of the latest cut himself, just like any other man and brother, and his queue is simply stowed away in a coil on top ot his head, but he has lovely Chung Sui Pang dressed in the garments of the Celestial Kingdom and announces her as his chief attraction. When a reporter of the Press saluted the slant-eyed beauty in the store last evening she sat upon a tea chest, coyly dis- playing the tips of her tiny feet, for she is a *‘little-foot woman,” her husband says. She wore her hair in wonderful style—like the wings of a bat, making her head resemble a schooner yacht running before the wind, with foresail and mainsail spread to port and star- board. The black tresses were stiffened with wires and glossy with grease. It takes six hours to do up this wonderful head-dress, and, in order that the dizzy affaimgshall not be spoiled, the fair owner sleeps with a block of wood under her neck. In this way the dress- ing of the hair lasts three weeks. Chung Sui Pang dispensed tea and smiles over the counter all day long, saluting each customer with an intoned How do?” Joe James, Wing Wah Lee and the shadowy Co.“ were quite delirious with the success their handsome partner was securing, and they drank deep draughts of tea out of diminutive cups and looked happy. He Won. From the Drtroit Free Press. There were half a dozen men with their chairs tilted back in front of the hotel, and the talk was on the characteristics of the negro. It seemed to be the general opinion that the Southern negro was naturally light-fingered, but all at once adrummer tor a Philadelphia — house threw away his cigar- stub and ‘Gentlemen, here isa silver dollar. I'll bet it can be left in my room up stairs for twenty- four hours and no one will remove it.” A gentleman from Macon said he would like to wager $5 on that, and the terms were soon settled. It was agreed that the drummer should go to his room and lay the dollar on the table, and if it was there at the same hour the next day the wager was his. Several marked the coin and recorded the date, and the drummer was trusted to leave it as agreed. Next day, at the same hour, a committee of three visited the room. Several colored people had been in and out while engaged in their vocations, but the dollar was there. „Gentlemen, isthe negro honest or is he not?’ queried the drummer, as, he pointed to the coin. We advanced to make sure it was the one. There was no mistake. The date— 1879 —was there, the nicks in the edge were there, but the drummer had taken it to a machinist to have a hole drilled through it, and had then screwed it down to the table, It was there so tight and fast that only a heavy screw-driver could loosen it, „J have won,” modestly exclaimed the drummer, A Class in Kissing. From the Pali Mali Gazette. Sweden is no longer governed by a lady, otherwise the British Minister at Stockholm might signalize the advent of May by a re- currence to the diplomatic courtesies of Bul- strode Whitelocke, which proved of successful in their time. That most gallant 05 ambassa- dors relates in his journal how he invited Queen Christine to accompany him into Eng- land on May day. He explained that it was a great day in his own country, when the gentleman used to wait upon their mistress abroad, to bid the spring welcome, and to have some collation or entertainment for them. Now (he pursued), Your Majesty being my mistress, if you will do me the honer that after the custom of England, I may wait on you on May Day and have a little treatment for you after the manner of England, this I call going into England; and shall take itasa very great favor from Your Majesty.” The Queen re- lied that, if this were, the ambassador’s mean- ng, she would be very willing, as his mistress, to go with him seo the lish mode.” Tus fete seems to have given gréat satisfaction to the “lucid star of the North,” as Milton styles her, She was even prone’, “amon other frolies, to command Whitelocke to her ladies the English salutation, which, after some pretty defenses, their lips obe Whitelocke most readily.” In those days thé the English were the acknowledged matters in the art of kissing; and the process of teaching the English salutation must have been far from unpleasant.

Hypocrisy and propriety constitute eir dogma. That freezing lish word „proper“ legitimatizes every form of routine, prejudice, egotism and intolerance; it is an ar- gument to which every one must yield and which only the eccentric dare call in question. The Mistress of the Robes, whose duties cor- respond with those of the Chamberlain, pos- sesses the highest dig 5 the Government alone can confer on her; this charge is fulfilled at present by the Countess Dowager of Rox- burghe, an intimate friend of the Queen. Then come the ladies of the chamber, who are in reality ladies of honor and companions to Her Majesty. ROYAL FAVORITES. Among the favorites may be mentioned the Marohioness of Ely, the Duchess of Athole—al- ways dowagers, of course—and Lady Jane Churchill; these ladies, of proverbial discre- tion, possess almost every quality save petty personal whims, The Queen has special affection for the Marchioness of Ely. Desiring to impress on her children that respect for her whom she re- ards as her nearest friend, she has commanded that none of the princes or princesses must remain seated inthe presence of this noble lady, so long asthe lady herself remains stand- ing. This injunction was deemed necessary, as several of the princes are very ill-bred. To ive an example: They were accustomed, in tation of their father, to address Mr. Brown familiarly _ as Brown when they saw him every morning. Prince Albert could, of course, ow himself that familiarity, but deeming it improper on the part of his children, he commanded them to callthe gentleman Mr. Brown, under the penalty of being immediately sent back to bed for the day. he next morning, at breakfast, the Princess Louise, on seeing Mr. Brown, de- liberately cried out: Good morning Brown,” and immediately added: or rather, good even- ing Brown, for lam going to bed now.” And she went, But to return to the Marchionees of Ely. With the Queen, she is as wheedling as a pet cat; but her severities towards the little i - ularities of the world, and the natural weak- ness of society, take the form of imprecations which are tempered only when she happens to have need of transgressors. The Duchess of Athole, a Scotch lady, has been able to acquire a great influence over Her Majesty; she delights especially in palace in- trigues. It is owing to her machinations that the Duchess of ord was recently compelled to leave the Court, and that, tramping on these same proprieties which she so 8 1 honors in words, a new Black Rod was ap- pointed in the place of old Gen. Knolly without awaiting the latter’s death, although he had only a few days to live. The principal functions of the Black Rod con- sists in making three consecutive bows, at a few apart, while walking backward, when the Queen, or her representative, is about to read the opening speech of Parliament. The brave old general, a prey to age and the gout, could no longer get over the second bow. The three bows are recompensed by the snug salary of $10,000 a year. : The Queen is eaually fond of the charming Lady Jane Churchill, a distinguished person and not so respectable on the score of age as the rest of the more or less decrepit ladies who form the favorite entou of Her Majesty. These guardians of the Throne, disenchanted with life, pour into the ears of the Queen a multitude of stories perverted by their own imaginations, for they cannot see the society of the present save through the eyes of the past; but, curious enough, the Queen’s vision is quite clear. She is not readily duped, and she is generally found to be quite well informed, although one cannot find out how she came by her knowledge. I cannot help saying a few words about her faithful friend and counselor, the Duke of Richmond, whom she highly esteems. In society the Duke and the Duchess have little importance; they seem to disdain occupying a tace in it; they contribute nothing towards it, hey have no salon,-and live apart from society altogether. Perhaps they feel themselves sowewhat old-fashioned. THE RABELAIS OF THE COURT. Lord Torrington, formerly Governor of Cey- lon, who died. the other day, was the reporter of all the scandalous tittle-tattle of Great Brit- ain, and in narrating it to her Majesty he al- ways embellished it with Rabelaisian — sions. This old libertine 2 adored ticklish conversations; when talking he always gave one the feeling that one experiences on seeing a man walking on a tight rope by having his listeners in continual dread of seeing him tum- ble in some filthy Rabelaisian puddle. Those who were accustomed to hear him were always aching with fear of the noisesome sewer toward which he was leading them; and, although he was thoroughly detested at bottom, he was tol- erated on account of his former friendship for Prince Albert, Some of the old dowagers shuddered with horror at his conversations and expressions, though, gana they secretly chuckled at them, e perpetual menace of overstep ing the bounds that made Lord Tor- rington's conversations a terror to all was the funny characteristic of the Uourt. Nobody will ev be permitted to imitate him. But the Queen detests these delicious little imprudences, Her favorite conversations are those that turn on sombre and lugubrious sub- jects, tortures that make one shudder, fright- ful diseases, awful deaths, funerals and every- thing that transports the miiid into the domain ot the horrible. There are too many people assed of these curious tastes, and who take delight in the recitals of ghastly murders, hangings and suicides. Her Majesty fairly adores these biood-curdiing stories. Thus a young American girl, who described at the royal tabie one day, in ali its repugnant hor- rs, the sufferings and agony of President a wasa petof Her Majesty for three wee _-« SULLIVAN'S LAST SPREE.

TRICKING THE CONDORS,. Ned Conroy’s Way of Earning Bounty Paid in Chili for Condor Heads. y over the world. has just returned from South America, bringing considerable money. When asked how he got it he said: „Shooting condors in Chili. The Govern- ment pays $5 for every condor’s head brought in, but most of the hunters soon get sick of the business, The condors are thicker than buz- zards, but they can see a rifle further than a man can see a house, and they catch on to all sorts of ambushes in the neighborhood of a dead carcass almost before they are made. The nests are 12,000 feet above the level of the sea, so it’s little use to hunt them in the mountains. They are trapped occasionally, and some are poisoned, but as a rule the business doesn’t pay, and the condors increase in number.” How do you it?’ he was asked. “By playing off sic Along the coast there are es stretches of sand, without Vegetation, which are perilous te cross at all times, be- cause of the heat and the liability of — lost.

Many a poor fellow has fallen down there on those sands, and been torn to pieces before he was dead, „When I found them ng thick I'd back up against the rock, and throw stones at them, and shout as if I was wild with fear, and the great vultures would gather around just out of range of the stones, which I didn’t throw very hard, and sit on the sand, and look at me side- ways.

The White House Kitchen, and the Way Things are donein It, From the Washington Post. In the basement of the White House, on the north side, are situated the kitchen, laun and bedrooms of the President’s household. French cook preside in the kitchen, and all his sruroundings are as neat as could be i There was not a speck of dirt visible when a Post reporter went through the room one day last week, and the chef, ashe delights to be called, was anxious to point out all the details of his departments, Very little trouble has been e der the change of administra President has not manifested their rooms, The steward and his assistants in waiting up- on the President and his guests always wear swallow-tailed coats, black trousers, and white vests,and everything must be scrupulously clean about a waiter before he is allowed to go into the private dining-room. As fast as a course is ready for the table it is sent up from the kitchen on a dumb waiter, which is in a recess back of the ante-room on the rigut of the principal en- trance to the White House. Inquiry among the oldest servants of the Executive ion re- vealed the fact that none of them had ever seen a rat about the house, although there are no cats or dogs on the premises, Even the kitchen and store-room are free, and always have been, from these pests, although the building is half a century old, On State occasions, or for a large reception, the corps of assistants to the cook is increased, and men cooks are always employed. There is ty of room at the large range for all, and there is no confusion, no matter what the demand may be. A colored man is steward of the White House ata salary of $1,800 per annum, and the cook is paid a similar amount? The other servants are paid at the rate of $1,25 per day, and all thehelp are colored persons, even to the boy who dusts and sweeps the par- lors.

Mr. Nye Tells of His Visit to a De lightful Show of Wax Works. From the New York Mercury, I dropped in the other day to see New York's great co of wax figures and soft stat- uary carnival. It is quite a success. The first thing you do on — is to contribute to the apy sa fund. New York this spring is most- 4 thro 3 box with a hole in the to which genial public is cordially * to slide a dollar to give the Goddess of Liberty a boom. I was astonished and appalled at the wealtn of apertures in Gotham through which I was to slide a dime to assist some deserving object. Every little while you run into a free lunch room where there is a miodel ship that will start up and operate if you will feed it with a nickel. I never visited atown that of- fered so many inducements for early and judi- cious investments as New York. . But we were speaking of the wax-works, I did not tarry long to notice the Presidents of the United States embalmed in wax, or to listen to the band of lutists who furnished music in the winter garden. I ascertained where the chamber of horrors was located, and went there at once. It is lovely. I have never seen a more successful aggregation of horrors under one root and at one price of ad- mission. If you want tobe shocked at cost or have your pores opened fora merely nominal price, and see a show that you will never forget as long as you live, that is the place to flud it. I never invested my money so as to get so large a return for it, because I frequently see the whole show yet in the middle of the night, and the cold perspiration ripples down my spinal column just as it did the first time I saw it. The chamber of horrors certainly furnishes @ very durable show. I don't think I was ever more successfuliy or economically horrified. I got quite nervous after a while standing in the dim religious jight watching the lovely bor; rors. : But it is the saving · ot money that I look at most. Ihave known men to pay out thou- sands of dollars for a collection of delirium tremens and new-laid horrors no better than these that you get on week days for fifty cents, and on Sundays for two bits. Certainly New York is the place where you get your money's worth. There are horrors therein that that are well worth double the price of admission. One peculiarity of the chamber of horrors is that you finally get nervous when any one fouches you, you immediately suspect that he is a horror who has come out of his crypt to get a breath of fresh air and stretch his legs. That is the reason I shuddered alittle when I felt a man’s hand in my pocket. It was so unexpected, and the surroundings were such that | must have appeared startled. The man was a stranger to me, though I could see that he wasa perfect gentleman. His clothes were superior to mine in every way and he had a certain refinement of manners which betrayed his ill-concealed Knickerbocker lineage high. I said, Sir. 2 will find my fine cut to bacco in the other pocket.” This startled him so that he wheeled about and wildly dashed into the armsof a wax po- liceman near the door. When he discovered thut he was in the clutches of a suit of second- hand clothes filled with wax, he seemed to be greatly annoyed and strode rapidly away. returned to view a chaste and truthful scene where one man had successfully killed another with a club. I leaned pensively against a column with my own spinal column, wrapped in thought. Pretty soon a young gentleman from New Jersey with an ms apple on him like a full- grown yam, and accompanied by a young lady also from the mosquito jungles of Jersey, touched me on the bosom with his umbrella and began to explain me to his companion. “This,” said the Adam's apple with the young man attached to it, “is Jesse James, the great outlaw chief from Missouri. How lifelike he is. Little would you think, Emeline, that he would as soon disembowela bank, kill the en- tire board of directors of a railroad company and ride off the rolling stock as you would wrap yourself around a doughnut. flow ten- der and kind he looks. He not only looks gen- tle and peaceful, but he looks to me as iu he wasn’t real bright.” 1 then uttered a piercing shriek and the young man from New Jersey went away. Noth- ing is sO em ing to an eminent man as to stand quietly near and hear people discuss him. But it is remarkable to see people get fooled at a wax show. Every day a wax figure is tak- en for a live man, and live people are mistaken for wax. I took hold of a waxen hand in one corner of the winter garden to see if the ring was a real diamond, and it flew up and took me across the ear im such a lifelike manuer that my ear is still hot and there is a roaring in my bead that sounds very ey i indeed, a SILL NIX. 80-80; Bird Songs.

What it Costs to Change a Forked Radish Into a Civilized Man—Some Interesting Information on Mascu- line Attire—An Outfit That Evena Poor Landlord Could Buy—The Price of Stacking Up as a St. Louis Dude. : The cry of hard times and the lack of money is rife all over the land. People complain that they connot live comfortably on moderate salaries; that the cost of keeping oneself in food, clothing and lodging is so great that the keeping in addition of a wife and family is out of the question. It is a question whether it is hard times or the habit and taste for high livigg so general among Americans which is cause of so much complaint and discon- tent. The fact that a woman could be clothed neat- head to foot undoubtedly a revelation sons, and caused no little comment. before the ink was dry on the paper there were readers of it beginning to express their opinions on the subject. Their letters came into the Posr-Disraron office in the first mail. One was from a young lady who was inclined to regard the entire statement with distrust, and treated the subject ina turned- up-nose sort of a fashion. She sald she never had worn adress which she had not made herself, which cost her less than $25, and roceeded to give a long list of articles which she declared, emphatically, were absolutely n to a woman's vutfit. Another was evidently from a cross-grained and miserly old wretch, who stated that he always knew that women ware extravagant, and he was glad to see the truth about how cheaply one could be clothed exposed, as it accorded with his own notions, The last was froma married lady who that she had hard enough getting money sufficient from ber husband to dress respectably, and now she supposed that he would expect her to dress on nothing. She thought it was mean to write such articles, as men never could understand these things, and she thought also, as her husband was always talking about what it cost him to keep nicely clothed, it would be nothing but fair to show what a man could dress on. THERE IS NO DOUBT in the world that articles of clothing have been vastly cheapened in the last few years. Competition, improved machinery, increase in production of raw materiais, and the thousand 1 one causes which operate to bring down prices, have had a wonderful effect on the market. A. leading clothing merchant, in speaking of the matter, said that the reduction in the prices of all articles of clething within several years past was marvelous. It amounts to a matter of wonder how the things can be put to- gether, not to speak of purchasing the material, for the amount they sell for. e said that to make a large amount of money vastly more s had to be sold, as 3 are so low and he margins so small. Articles that afew years back no one would think of buying for less thana uarter sell for five and ten cents. - These cheap things, too, are made up in nice style, after the latest patterns. In order to get both sides of the question, and to satisfy the fair and aggrieved correspondent, a Post-DispatTos reporter picked up an imaginary Hottentot, who was wandering about the streets in the garb of his native land, and ran him intoa Broadway clothing house for the purpose of cloth- ing him in the garments of civilization, complete, from his head to his heels, at the least possible cost to his benefactor. While the Hottentot was not over-fastidious he had some yanity, and wanted to look as well as possible d thoroughly respectable, so that he would not be en for a tramp or a man who had not a nickel to spare. He wanted his clothing of fresh stock and made in this year’s styles, witha view to cutting something of a swell, ready, so to speak, to attend a picnic or a river excursion without feeling absolutely mean. To cover his naked- ness being the first consideration, he was taken at once into the underclothing depart- ment, although there are people who do not wear such things in the summer, Nevertheless, this man wanted to be fitted out in every particular. His outfit comprised about four times as many articles as that of the woman. “An undershirt was obtained for him for 15 cents, and a good pair of drawers for 2 cents. A pair of socks, not of the t uality, but durable, were purchased for 65 ceDts. lie obtained a pair of ilow-quarter, all leather and substantial shoes for 75 cents. A pair of suspend- ers is considered by some men an unnecessary I and by others a bother, but he was given a pair for 18 cents. His white shirt cost him 35 cents, and a collar button was thrown in for nothing. As he objected to a paper — collar, ‘he bought a linen collar for 10 cents and his white necktie cost him exactly 2 cents. He could have gotten a coat, which would be considered amply sufficient by some people for very warm weather, for 10 cents, but he preferred an entire suit and bought it of neat material, style and make—coat, vest and pants—for $1. All he needed then to fit him for the street was a hat. and he obtained that in straw for 5 cents. When the purchases had all been completed he was presented with THE FOLLOWING BILL: Undershkirt „ „„ „„ „„ „„ „„ „46 „ ade Ses e ee 15 Pair eee „6 „* * 25 eee see e 600s 5 75 85 15 | ete „ „ „„ „„ „„ „ „ „ „„ „„ „ „ „%„„6„% 1 c cetcaspesce eeeeeee Shirt —— 22 632 „„ „% %( A „„ t „t „„%„%%„%6„ („ „36 „„ Suspender . ——2—＋2õ—tdv 4 „„E„% 4 Collar Neelie. eee SCOT „„ „„ „4 46 „6 Hat. 94ͤ — 222 2 DU „ö 1 00 Total $ 2 87 At this rate, if the clothes make the man, men are cheap and lovelarn spinsters should find little trouble in suiting themselves, as they might = a dozen or two at a low rate. the Hottentot had been, however, a St. Louis young mam who wanted to swell around town ona Sunday, or hob-nob for awhile with the dudes of St. Louis, with the as consciousness that if he was injured and had to be atripped in ublic he would bear inspection, he would ranch out more and get thoroughly good articles allthrough. He could buy an English seersucker suit, excellent shoes, a nobby straw hat, with under- garments to match, for a few cents over twice this amount.

THE MEXICAN BAND. Some of the Reasons Why the Supplemen- tary Concerts Have not Been Successful. The success with which the Mexican Band Opened the season did not last beyond the first three concerts given under the direction of the Ex- position Directory. The readers of the Post-Dis- PatoH have been told that the visit of the famous band was a pure act of courtesy shown by the President of Mexico, Porfirio Diaz, to the city of St. Louis. They came here under orders and in the pay of their own Government, the Exposition charging itself to pay all their expenses from New leans and back,and to take care of them in St. is, This arrangement was satisfactory all around. It was especially satisfactory to the oo prey which finds that it has takeu in some $6,000 for the concerts, while its expenses are not more than „000. Instead of returning to New Orleans at the close of the complimentary engagement, the band having secured an extension of the leave of absence, went under the management ofa Mr. Hart, who says that he has contracted to pay them $40,000 for forty concerts. If this claim is true, he will have to do better elsewhere than he has done at St. Louis, and the knowing ones predict that the band will eventually turn to counting the ties on the road to Mexico. Mr. Hart's plan of attracting the pub- lic is to keep quiet and avoid notice. His first con- cert, on Wednesday night, did not draw more than 500 people. On Thursday he probably had 1,000 peo- pie in the house, and the receipts for the first three concerts were just about 35.000 less than the tre- ceipts for the first three concerts managed by Mr. Jonnson for the Exhibition. This is very much to be regretted, as the concerts this week were for the benefit of the band. Had the ‘public known this they would undoubtedly have come forward and shown their appreciation of the magnificent music of Captain Payen and his men, and would have given the band a good “send off,.

THE HOUSEHOLD. Retail Prices of Sundry Supplies That Cheer the Inner Man. Saturday, of all other days in the week, is the one on which the market presents the most inviting ap- pearance, and those who feel desirous of partaking of the delicacies of the season, in the vegetable, fruit end meat live, will be afforded ample oppor- tunity to gratify their longings if they will visit the market—with a full purse on Saturday morning or evening. It is on this day above all others that the dealers endeavor to make a display that will prove irresistible to those who visit the market, and to accomplish this end they have the finest yegetables, the most luscious fruits, the choicest butter and the best meats that could be procured. The scene at the market on Saturday morning is always an ani- mated one, for while housewives and husband providers who live at a distance from the market may buy their meats and vegetables at the corner butcher shop during the week, they are generally ture to come downto the market on Saturday morning, or evening, if the weather is propitious. People may manage tolivethrough the week on meat as tough and devoid of healthful substance, as strips of leather; vegetables that look as if they were partly dried up, and butter which was never withia ten yards of the pure milk of a cow, but on Sunday everybody wishes to partake of a really good dinner, and it is to gratify this wish that the provider comes down townto the market where the meats and vegetables ap as if they could be eateu with a genuine relish. Although the market was throu this morning business during the week past has not been any too good. The whole- rale price of Dutier has advanced several cents a pound, but the retail price remains the same for the present. The dealers in this line all report a great depression.

Suggestions Which Wearers ef Leather Should Hearken To.] There are several ways of buying shoes. One of the quickest and best is to know what style of shoe you want and exactly the size that fits you. This, of course, presupposes your disposition to pay the price that will be asked for the shoe. Such a cus- tomer is a perfect boon to the shoe clerk; but this customer does not turn up frequently. Few people are gifted with sufficient presence of mind to make a calm and complete statement of what they want when they first enter a shoe store. They ha ve a general idea that they want shoes, but that is all. The style, the price and the exact size are vague and shadowy ideas that they try in vain to formulate. This class of shoe buyers want a shoe store that has a novel and original arrangement to it, one that is pe- culiarly adapted for the rapid and complete display of a large and varied assortment of pedal cover- ings—in fact a store wherein the most whimsical customer can be quickly and satisfactorily suppliea with everything he asks and all he wants. There is only one retail shoe store in St. Louis that seems to fill alithe requirements of a — establish that is J. G. randt’s new cker store the Broadway and Lucas avenue. handsomely filled up and ex - lanted and ventilated. The stock is the argest and best assorted in town, and last. but not least, there is a sacrifice sale going ou there at pres- that Sens 2 Then the bodice is hastily unfastened and thrown open, revealing the white under-garment and the rounded outlines of tinted flesh on arm, and shoulder and bust. Next the skirt is unfastened, It is becoming intensely interesting at this point. The skirt is stepped out of, and she stands clothed in white and natural pink with red stockings) Then the hasty unlacing of shoes; a kick or two, and the lady is ready to turn in. Miss Lynton does this delicately and without the broad and even coarse suggestiveness, except in so far as this lies in the act itself, and the song accompanying it, witir which some artistes have invested tae scene. It is rather on tke business order. There are evidences of disappointment. The audience expected more unloosing, and the final view of a plump figure ina flowing robe. Miss Lynton destroys several ancient traditions current in higher circles. She retains ber corsets, and goes to bed with her stockings on. The general idea is that a woman. sits on the floor and takes her shoes and _ stockings off before retiring, and goes through a great many other feminine motion incident to the oc- casion. Miss Lynton ought by all means tosit on the floor and take her stockings off. Perhaps in sunny Italy the girls ge to bed with their stockings on, but she has missed a grand opportunity todo the popular bare-foot act, and to teach those who have no means of knowing just how a woman treats the act of retiring in real life. * * * On the heels of the supplementary season at the Standard there is the promise of another garden theater and opera company here. Mr. Max Thomas, manager of the Thonjas Opera Company, has made arrangements for the production of a light opera at Schnaider’s Garden this summer. The stage is now in course of construction and will be completed in a few days. Mr. Thomas has not yet made up his full company, but Miss Fritch and Miss Dora Wiley are mentioned among the number. ‘The season will commence probably next Thursday evening with the “Chimes of Normf&ndy.” The chorus is now rehearsing at the People's. * * * Warm weather, financial panic, cyclones, blizzards, or earthquakes are powerless to crush that perennial attraction “Uucie Tom's Cabin.“ Draper's Company has been giving it to its usual runof admirers at the Standard, and the Casino, with female minstrels, Wallace King and the pris- matic fountain has done a fair summer business, Joe Jefferson's Haunts. From the Dramatic News. Joe Jefferson, I see, is taking things easy in Bul- finch Place, where ke makes his Boston headquar- ters. One of my pleasantest recollections of the Hub involves a visit tothe quaint and cozy retreat Rip dreams some of his idle days away in so pleas- antly. The house is well known to certain members of the professiou as Miss Fisher's, and he began to frequent it thirty-five years ago. It is an odd, old- fashioned place, and on its edd, old-fashioned second floor front Joe has a lien which he every year renews. He and William Warren are the lions of the house, and it is Warren’s apartments which he shares when he is at home' in Bulfinch Place. be rooms are hung with pictures painted and trophies gathered by him in his wanderings. Tears bave brought to him an appreciation of the sweets of idleness, and he has learned to enjoy life by an experience with its hardships. If he is to be taken at his word he feels as much at home in Bulfinch Place as on his Louisiana plantation or his Jersey farm, and. take the place as it looks, one cannot wonder that he does. A Cruel Deed. From the Dramatic News. The action of Messrs. Eben Plympton and Gus- tavus Levick, in announcing that Mr. John McCul- lough would appear as Brutus, for their benefit at the Star Theater last Saturday night, is reprehens- ible, however we may look at it. These young gentlemen shared the general knowledge as to Mr. MecCullough’s lamentable mental condition and pitiable physical debility. They knew that the causes which drove the distinguished tragedian from the stage still existed, and yet they advertised that he would act for them. Not one of John Me- Cullough’s friends, and they are numbered by the thousand, read that announcement without a shiver of apprehension; for they knew that if he were to appearit would be only to make a pitiable exhibition of his shattered self. Friends interfered and he did not appear: but a great wrong had al- ready been done. McCullough had been dragged out of the seclusion towhicha kindly dis- — press had consigned him, and his infirmities were held up once more tothe cold gaze of public curiosity. ell did the audience hiss Saturday night when the excuse of ill health was offered for Mr. McCullough’s non-appearance, The cruelty of this deed is all the more noticeable because actors are responsible for it and because it culminated on the stage where McCullough had achieved some of his greatest triumphs, Tae memeory of John Mo- Cullough as he was is too well cherished for the public not to resent any trifling with him as he is. Marmaduke's Friend and Mendelssohn. From Musical Item. ; The following incident is related by one of the members of the Mendelssohn Quintette Club as oc- curring during its Western tour: One of the gentle- men who followed Governor Marmaduke around at the opera house, suddenly turned to Col. Adkins with the interrogation: This Mendelssohn—who is he, anyway?” He's a musician,“ said the colonel, in his usual ready manner. Tes, I know,” said the gentleman; “he must bea shy sort of a fellow. He's down on the programme here several times, but I haven't hada glimpse of him to- night. Maybe it's that old gentleman,” pointing to Prof. Behr. No,“ said the colonel with a wink. “I'll tell you—Mendelssohn talks broken English and he's a little shy about getting up before you fellewsfor fear you'll laugh at him.” The gentleman chuckled with conscientious self-esteem and then whispered into the Colonel's ear: 1 never saw a fiddier yet that had any sense, but I never saw one that wouldn't take a drink. Tell the darned fool one of Marmaduke's friends wants to drink with him.” The Colonel escheloned behind the scenes and the gentleman met Mendelssohn ia the person of a German musician who never real- ized the joke, but drank the beer. The American Theater. J. W. Forney in the July Outing. With the larze addition to the number of theaters throughout the country, there are not enough cer- tain attractions to go round, so almost anything is acceptable anywhere. The innumerable theaters in small towns have other results, which should not be passed over. The country people have ceased to go to the cities for their amusements; they wait for their amusements to come to them. They have been led to believe that they can see the play at home equally as well as if they went to Boston, Philadelphia or New Vork. But they are very often deceived.

The week has been perhaps the dullest one of the In the different studios the inquirer can generally flud the Genius Loci with his slippers on the window sill, industriously work- ing a palm leaf fan and gazing out on the roof tops The balmy influences of the leafy month of June do not seem to accord with hard labor with brush and palette. All of the St. Louis artists are going to Europe—every one of them— only some are going in person, and others are going in their minds. It seems to be the proper thing for the average disciple of Raphael and Tui- begin planning an Euro- pean campaign about June I. He always bas a guide book or two and a leat ber- covered memorandum book, and into the latter he figures out of the former until he has construc an itinerary which makesit plain to the dullest comprehension that it he could get four commis- sions of $250 each he could manage it nicely. And he might get the commissions, too—let us hope that he will, poor fellow. Thus it happens that Europe woos more than painting just now, and an art co umn that does not develop a scheme showing how Europe couid be “done” without money would not really come upto what is expected ot it. “I have been figuring on Europe for two weeks,“ said one of the dwellers in Bright Bohemia to me one day this week, “and I have solved the problem. I and Frank — are going *o get there and back for $40. ‘nat is our joint store, and Ill tell you how we are going to manage it, In the first place we can't put on much styie, so we have decided not to put onany.

CONSTRUING THE LAW, The Circuit Attorney, in regardto the 300 feet clause, gives his definition of the method of meas- urement. He says his construction of the law is that the 300 feet line should run along the street from the main or side entrance of the public building to the front door of the resort. Measured in this way along the line of the street“ houses located opposite the public building might not come within the 300 feet limit. It is a nice question and will probably be contésted in the courts. Another question that will arise will be the construction to be placed upon the word ‘church.’ At the corner of Eleventh and Lo- cust streets, a block entirely occupied by persons of the offending character defined by law, the Y, M. C. A. has its headquarters established, and meetings of à religious character are held there every Sunday. In the event of legal proceedings the tenants might contend that the Y. M. C. A. meeting hall is not a church within the meauing of the statute. Chief Harrigan, referring to the operation of the law, said: All parties located within the pre- scribed limit have been notified to vacate, and of course itis my duty to inforce the order of the Board inthatregard. The Prosecuting Attorney will be informed in due time of all cases where the keepers of the houses remain afterthe law goes into effect. It will befor him to take the steps necessary to a prosecution of the offenders. Iam opposed to raiding the establishments. It serves no good purpose, The keepers are the responsible parties, and they will have to answer in tue Court of Criminal Correction. The new law makes it a felony to conduct sucù resorts, and the keepers are liable to imprisonment in the Penitentiary.’ THE RESPECTABLE CITIZEN is probably the most worried of ail persons who have heard of the new law. Heregards with the greatest suspicion every new arrival in his block, and when the For Rent” sign comes off the front of a house in his neighborhvod he is excited and eager until he learnstne character of the new neizhbor. He expects, aud rationally too, that the law which goes iuco effect Monday will drive the soiled deves and their followers into some of the fashionable residence quarters of thecity, and already many men of faimly have had occasion to complain of landlords who have rented or leased property to women of bad character. The latter and their supporters have resorted to strategy to evadethe law and the leasing of the old Italian Church at Sixth an Spruce and its conversion iato a warehouse by an alieged agent of the saloonists, small store-keepers and scariet women is the first move that has been made in this direction. It is iatended to protect the sin - ners of that locality in taeir present quarters, and it will probably work to their satisfaction, THE POLICE PAPERS. Another law desizned to conserve the morals of the people is that which makes unlawful the sale, leading or giving away to any minor of any paper, pamphlet, magazine or book devoted to the publi- cation, or made up principally. of criminal news, police reports. or pictures and stories of deeds of bloodshed, lust or other crimes; aso, the showing or advertising by exuibitm them to view on the streets or highways. Newsdeaiers are disposed to contest the constitu- tionality of this law. There are about 180 dealers in the city, and avout 800 in the State, nearly all of whom, it is stated, will continue to handle the two or three papers against weich tiis law is specially designed to operate. ‘lhe agencies which distribute these papers say they will continue to give them out. Already ia town only three or four dealers have spree their intention to drop the objec- tionable papers. Others, however, are hesitating, but their number is not large. Whenever the agents here are consulted they advice the small traders to keep on selling, as they de- clare the new law uuconstitutional, and again make the defense that the tone of the illustrations in the two police weeklies has been greatly modified since the law passed by the Texas Legisiature pro- hibitiug the sale of one of them went iuto effect Another plea they make is that these weeklies mere- ly rebash the criminal news of the large dailies, aad if it is unlawful to sell or display one class of papers it is unla ful to sell or display the other. It is prob- able, though, that the dealers will not attempt to openly defy the law. Some have expressed their determination to keep the POLICE WEEKLIES UNDER THE COUNTER, and while they may not retail them to minors, all adults who ask for will fiad no dil culty in ob‘ain- ing them. at the usual rate. The detective libraries and the boys’ weeklies,which are made up mainly of criminal exploits, come under the pro- visions of the new measure, but nothing is said about discontinuing their sale or distribution, One of the agents here said that exactly the same law asthat which Missouri is to have is now in force in Illinois, and does not affect the sale or cir- culation of the police papersto the slightest ap- preciable extent. The proprietor of the largest and most prosperous, as well asthe most ob- jectionably nlustrated of these weeklies, has sent a circular te his Missouri patrons, in which he states that the new law “in no way interferes with the sale of his paper, which has been decided in a number of instances, in the courts of Texas and other parts of the United States not be a publication of the objectionable It is understood that the publishers will stand by the Missouri — in this fight and the dealers will be supported, morally at least, by the dealers. The police papers have a circulation in th neighborhood of at least 5,009 copies. A fine of u more than $100 or imprisonment in the County Jail for not more tuan six months, or both fine and im- prisonment, is the penaity provided for a violation of this law. A QUEER STORY. Anent this measure there isa story to the effect that it originated in a scheme on the part of cer- tain enterprising local statesmen to bleed“ a New York publisher. The Statesmen got their measure into shape and before presenting it went to one of the local agents of the publisher, telling him that such a law was in hand and would be put Inportant Reductions Which Geo Inte Force on the First of July. The new postal laws which go into effect July 1 will make some marked reductions in rates which it is to the interest of every one to know. In the first place, on what is called first class matter, or letters, etc., the reduction does not take place in the rate of postage, but the limit of weight is increased. At present letter postage is 2 cents for each half oynce or a fraction thereof; after July 1. it will be 2 cents for one ounce or every fraction thereof, a reduction of per cent. This law is applicable to all mail sent tothe United States and Canada. The ratesto all countries in the postal union still remain 5 cents for each half ounce. On second-class matter, whicn inciudes all newspapers and periodicals registered at the Post Office as such, the reduction on and after July 1, will be from 2 cents, the present rate. to 1 cent a und, also a W per cent reduction. The St. uis Post Office received jast year second-class mail 303.000, 80 that even considering an increase in quantity received from this source during the next year it is probable the receipts will not run over $50,000. This, of course, will constitute a heavy loss to the Post Office Department all over the country, and in con- sequence be a gain to the newspapers and periodi- cals. Take a magazine, for instance, having a cir- culation of 200,000 copies monthly and the annual saving on postage, presuming al! are mailed, would be about $6,000 per annum. For the daily papers of the country it will be much larger. There will be no change in third-class matter, but there is one point in this connection which most people overlook in sending newspapers to their triends. Third-class mail is of two kinds: first, newspapers and periodicals registered as second- class matter, and, secondly, ali other kinds of printed matter. Now, for the first class the rate of postage is 1 cent for four ounces, and not two ounces as is generally suppose i. It is the second kind of third-class matter which costs 1 cent for two Qunces, Neurial Cures N euralgia.l A few drops applied kills the pain instantly. Sold by druggists at We. Neurial Co.

Pittsburg. | 2 | 1 PUEEE Some Remarks Upon the Science of Running a Club as Taught by Prof. Fred Lewis—Standing of the Clubs in the League and American Associa- tion To-Day—Diamond Chips—Rac- ing News—Sporting Gossip. : A communication has been received from a base- ball enthusiast who takes exception to Captain Dun- lap's asking Lewis to wait for six balls ia a recent game. The correspondent says; Any person who knows a particle about base-ball or who has ob- served where Lewis stands in the batting average of the League can easily determine whether the ac- tion of Danla p in telling Lewis to wait for six balls was the proper thing or not.” This is a wrong Way to look at the matter. Dun- lap bas been appointed captain of the St. Louis the latter's seven. bomen this is not much of a lead and may short- t dence and still a little too far ahead of St. Louis at fifth piace to allow the latter to catch her for some little time, if at all.

Th sixth and the poor Decroits continue to bring up at a safe distance in the rear. found the complete standing of the different clubs. etropolitan... The race between the leaders in the National League continues to be close and interesting. New York's reverses the past week have piaced Chicago fimly in the first piace to-day, with one game more played metropolitan adversary, or a gain of two games during the week. Providence is still some five less than her and one gamé ames behind New York, baving played thirty- hreé to New York’s thirty-four and lost eleven to With the good ball Providence made up Philadelphia remains at her post behind Provi- club mueu far that too fourth, bother to St. Louis is but one game ahead of e two latter clubs are tied at Appended will be Club, and, as such, is supposed to watch every point in the game and to give such instructions to the players in the field as are most likely to end in a victory for his club. Besides, in this case, it was not a question as to giving Lewis pointersin the game, but as the pitcher already had four Boston... ' | uon av balls calied on him, and as Dunlap knew ust how Lewis felt at the time, as there had been ad blood between them before this, it Was on! natural that Dunlap should attempt to outwit Lewis, aud prevent him from striking out, as he eventually did. True, Lewis knows how to bat. but it Was manifest that he did not want to hit the — Buffalo Chicago — Detroit. 15 2 2 E Seer sqdjepenya 1 ne] ml ool =! aol melo. as subsequent events proved. It is to be regrette that St. Louis loses such a good batsman as Lewis — — ee 1 — 1 . is, but his expuston was his own fauit, and there probably are not ten persons in town who would not indorse Mr. Lucas’ action in expelling Lewis after a careful consideration of the case. A dis- turbing element in the club has a bad effect on the other players, and beta man of the nine would have had any respect for his employer if he should have overlooked such a flagrant: infraction of one of the oldest of base-ball rules. Lewis bas robably regretted his course ere this, but e should have considered sooner. Mr. Lucas made a wise cnoice in “firing” Lewis, and, though it will still further cripple his club, he has the grit to ex- Leven such a good player as Lewis, for cause. ‘he Sooner base-bail players, generaliy, understand that they do not run the club, and the sooner base- ball managers take a decided stand, as Lucas has done, ball playing willimprove iu tone, and the lovers of the sport will have less cause to kick at poor paying. When a ball player understands that lie will be heavily fined for wiliful negiect of duty, he will settle down to work and play ball for ali that is iu hint, eee Tt is now pretty safe to say that the crack Indian- apolis battery, McKeon and Keenan, will finish the season with the Cincinnati American Association. 3oth of these players were in Cineinuati on Wednesday, and were seen in company with Tony Mullane and George Bradley. It is also stated on good aulbority that bota of them have completei negotiations with President Herancourt of the Cin- | Y cinnati (lub, and will play with that team as soon as the ten days ure up. It is a well-known fact that Mr. Lucas was figuring to bring them here, and the latter gentleman said this morning that he had re- ceived a wire from a friend in Cincinnati yesterday, raying Keenau was there. Lucas at once wired Keenan, telling him to see what other elubs would do, and he would go them one better. In reply, Keenan wired: WHave already made other arrangements. Mr. Von der Ahe, too, wanted McKeon, but once more cute Caylor has probably got the best of his St. Louis eompetitors. A dis- patch from Indianapolis to Cincinnati, dated June 17, says: ““When the Indianapolis base-vall ciub was sold to the Detroit management for $5,000, one of the conditions was that all the players snould be transferred, and they sigued an agreement to sign a contract with whatever club Manager Watkins might dictate at the expiration of the ten days’ limit—this, of Course, meaning they would sign with the Detroit club. Casey, one of the pitchers, refused to sign this, and tue local management has black-listed lum, although it is doubtful if this ac- tion win be sustained. All the players left for Detroit Monday night, except McKeon and Keenan, the principal battery, who remained in town. Both the dt. Louis and Chigago League clubs are after them, and last evening they left for Liocinnati. This action has given rise to the rumor that they intend to jump tue Detroit agreement, aud this is worrying the Iludlauapolis directors, whose bargaiu with Detroit will ve off unless Mc- Keon aud Keenau are included in the transfer. President Schoenbacher says that these two men received adveuce money uvder théir agreement, and if they do not live upto it they will be prose- cuted under the criminai law for obtaining money under faise pretenses, and be blacklisted, if pos-ible, But Mcicon and Keenan say they signed no such agreements. McKeon says the only agrea- ment be signed was to pay an _ indebteuness of $1138 to one of the -local directors in case he accepted the proposition made by the Detroits. The fact of the matter is the Cincinnati teaim prob- ably captured both of the men, though they would hate come to St. Louis if another littie factor didn't figure in the cAse. This is the little god Cupid, and as it is a night's ride from St. Louis to Indianapolis, it would be a little awkward to run dowd there every ume the boys wanted to make a call. * „ 6 A sensational rumor, which, however, has the color of truth about it, inasmuch as it comes from a very relabié source, has been circulatad here, which is, in effect, about as folloas: A certain prominent base-pail man, Whose club the American Association could beuelit very materially it toey would only make a concession, is getting rather tifed of thé manner in which he is being treated by the Assocation and proposes to standen no longer. It ig his intention, there- fore, to have a special meetMg of the Association called Within the next ten days, at whica meeting he will tell (he other representatives that he is per- tecliy willin@to give them everything they want, but in return they must concede the point to him which he uas been after for such a long time. If the American Association sees fit to grant his request aud give him what he asks for, everything wül be lovely, but it not—well, if they don’t, ons of the strongest clubs in tho Amé@fican Assoclation will probably pull out. This is the rumor, aud it may be lakeu for what it is worth, but the gentleman referred to made the above statement in aco versauion not two days ago, ss Agreat many people imagine because Lucas is not making a great bluster and blow about stréngth- ening his team that he is makiog fio efforts in this direction. In this they are thistaken, and if matters turn out satisfactorily Lucas will give every one a gfand surprise one of these fine days, It is An open secret that he is after O'Brien aud Seery, but every- body does not know that Casey of the defunct In- dianapolis, and Vizner of a Western club, may probably be members of the St, Louis League club ere long. Such is the gase, however, and tic proba- bilities are that O'Brien, Seery and -Vizner wi!) have signed contracts with Lucas before this, Friday. evening, as Lucas is only waiting for replies to wites which be has sent them. But this is not the surprise that awaits St. Louls people. Lucas is a striet belierer in new blood in the Dase- ball field, aod if be should suddenly spring a lot of new talent on the base-bail public, nobody need be surprised. A word to the wise is sufficient, and those dn tne present Lucas club wd are apt to be a little loose their playing on the base-vall fleid had better take notice aud brace up, as the time may come when it will be necessary to choose which players shail be retained iu the club aud which let go The Américan Association. ; St. Louis continues (© maintaia her position as leader in the American Association face and still holds avery good lead, having played fout games Jess than her nearest competitor and lost seven jess.

As stated elsewhere, the only thing that prevent- ed the Post-DispatcH from announcing yesterday that O’Brien, Seery and Vizner had signed with the St. Louis League was the fact the news announcing their acceptance of Mr. Lucas’ terms had not ar- rived at the time of our going to press: These r came shortiy afterward, how- ever, and the Kansas City players named will be here shortly. All three of the men are good players and will add strength to the Black Diamonds, both in the fleld and at the bat. Dunlap and Boyie will now be given a rest, at least Boyle will have no occasion in playing in the outfleld, as there will be plenty of outfielders in the club. Lueas will probably not secure Casey of the Indianapolis team, however, as report now says that an increase of salary has had the desired effect and Casey will join the Detroits. Yesterday's Games Elsewhere, At New York the home League club had a streak of luck yesterday and secured a victory from the Ph ladelphias, in the last inning scoring thr Vinton, Philadelphia’s n 3 pucker, Sis given a trial yesterday, and for the first six innings he proved very effective. In the last three Fergu- son was called in. New York played a u- rior game in the fleld, which had considerable do with the final outcome of the game.

The initial appearance of Hugh Daily with the St. Louis Club was the occasion of a grand ovation to the popular one-armed pitcher, as th e audience greeted him with prolonged cheers as he stepped to the bat. He still further ingfatiated himself in the good favor of St. Louis people by pitching 4 wonderful game, and, in addition, aiding St. Louis materially in scoring two of their three runs. But one safe hit was made off his delivery during the entire game, and that was made by Quest. Bhiody supported tie one-armed twirler in good style, and they will probably make a very fine battery. All the runs made yesterday were scored in the first two innings. Duniap started the game by batting safe to left and went to second on 4 : ball. MeKkinnon's drive, bounding from third to been dead at short, would have * out first, but Dunlap fooled Phillips by starting to run to third, which caused the latter to hold the bail long enough for McKinnon to reach first. Glasscock's hittot pitcher forced Dunlap out at third. but the St. Louis short-stop got to first aud the basés were filled by Shafer’s safe hit. Scott's high throw to Ringo allowed McKinnon to score, but Glasscock died at the plate. Shafer's out trying to steal second retired ae side. In the second inning safe hits by Boyle and Briody and asacrifice by Quinn, put the two former on third and second respectively, and on Daliy’s safe hit Boyle scored. Daily’s neat. trick of running down between first and second, which caused Ringo to throw to second, aliowed Briody to come hom Which ended the scoring. With the exception o three of the Detroits going to first on balis, no errors were made by the home nine, while Detroit is charged with eight. The game was aver goes one, and was wou purely on its merits. The score was: St. Louis, 3; Detroit, 0. The Hanlan-Teemor Race. Burrato, N. V., June 20.—Edward Hanlan and Joun Teemer,in the presence of their backers, drew up erticles of agreement here yesterday for five boat races. The races will be in lengths, two, three, three and a half, four and five miles each, all with aturn unless otherwise azreed upon. Each race is to be rowed for $500 a side with the privilege of increasing the stakes, The dates of the races are August 8 and 22; September 5 and 19, and October 3. They will be rowed on waters mutually agreed on. In case of a failure to agree as to the referee, tue course or the details of the race the,final stakeholders shall have full powerto name the course and the referee. The New York Clipper is the final stakeholder. The first deposit is to be $1,250. The rules and reguia- tions of the National Association of Amateur Oars- men are to govern the races. Provi The Western Rewing Club. The Western Rowing Club will test several crews to-morrow, who have been practicing for the re- gatta at Moline, by trial heats. The one making the best time will be sent to represent the club. As matters stand now the big four aad barge crews seem to be the lucky ones. There is an abundant amount of good material to select from this season, and creat developments are certain. The Building Committee are hard at work, and several plans have been drawn, which will be placed before the club at the next monthly meeting. The Committee on Boats have negotiated for a new skiff and pleasure boats, which are rapidly hearing completion. The aforesaid boats are n- tended for the exclusive use of nofi-oarsmen of the club, and to insure them against any accident. Messrs. Metzger and Campbell will rowin the single gig race on the o€casion of June 28. The club is to have a grand demonstration on that day at Kayser’s Hill. Mr. August Hager is the haudsome oarsman of the club. When arraved in tune colors of the club he looks the ver- image of Apollo. He will contest in the fat men’s race on June 28. The kot-pie eating race will be contested by Chris Krauss and H. C. Koenig. Bets are in favor of Krauss,as he has a greater cavity, which con- stitutes a beautifu: receptacle for pie. “Bat” Meizeer, brother of the well-known oars- man, will deliver the opening address at the picnic. The Game of Tennis. Tennis has been a royal game: so very royal that Edward III (1363) decided that no one but kings and their associates shouid be allowed to plaay it at all, and his example was followed by Henry IV. Heury VIII aud otmer reigning sover- eigus of England and France. It kept gaining in popularity, however, and some sort of outdoor ten- nis was played with inflated balls very early in the history of the game. Every little while the royal commands would be forgotten, or some con venient war would break out, and after it was over tennis would bob up serenely as a very popular amusement. Henry VIII had the tennis fever iu a violent form, and the most famous royai set ever playel was that in which Henry Vili of ba and the Emperor Charles V were matched against the Prince of Ovange and the Marquis of Brandenburg, while the Kar! of Devonshire “stopped” (that is piexed up the bas and kept count) for one side aud Lord Edmund Howard did a lite service for the other side. At last the Kings gave up the vain attempt to keep so capital a game to themselves, and graciously vouchsafed it to their ioyal subjects, simply because they could no longer prevent their playing. Of course, there still remained the difi- cuities arising from the great costliness of regular courts, but these could not imterfere with out-of- door tennis. Tais was, however, a very unscientific sport, and was, of course, despised by the gentry who could afford to play the court game. In fact, it was not until a few years ago that the play-lov- ing Englisu public awoke io tne fact that some one had reduced out of-doof tennis to a science: that something very like court tennis could be played on the lawn, under the biue sky; and that pent-house roofs” and galleries. railings, tambours, chases.,and the rest were relics of the dark ages [St Nieho.as.

It is evident that the season of 18%5 will show a great multiplication in the number of women and girls who ride the tricycle. Last summer the tri- cycie made such a long swing forward in feminine favor that its success this side of the water is as well assured as in Britain, where there are now hundreds of lady tricyclers. When we first read that the Princess Beatrice had mounted the three whee), our lively interest in the machine began.

The cake will be sliced up and sold by chances. Mr. Frazer has signified his willingness to present each lady attending witha bandsomeé souvenir in the shape of a novel fan and a napkin, besides tendering his compliments in a souvenir programme of the entertainment on the boat. Mr. Percy Warden, Chairman of the Roller Skating Committee, is arranging a programme for the skaters,in which grand marches, numerous fancy figures, scien'ifc and prize couple skating will figure prominently.

Jim O'Rourke has only had two errors this season. Miller, released by Indianapolis, has signed with Macon, Ga. Morrison, of the disbanded Toledos, will try Eggler's place in Buffalo center fleld. Sneed, the new umpire who has taken the place of Valentine, is ziving poor satisfaction. Umpire Valentine talks of pitching again, and it is thought that he will go to tne Athieties. Under the restoration of the old pitching rule the Providence have performed much better bat- ting. - The Brooklyn team is doing very poof batting, — by no means coming up to expectations in that ine. Whenever a visiting club makes any ruus off Rad- bourne it is always because the latter lets up“ in his delivery. ; ä ‘Defeating nine men and the umpire“ is the way the Providence papers ball their victory over the New York Club.

In 1882, the first year of the American Association, Louisviile opened the season by going to St. Louis and being beaten by the Browns turee games in succession. Walker, Champion, Wheeler and Batten of the lately disbanded Cleveland League Club have signed to play with the Waterburys for the reinainder of the season. The Philadelphia Sporting Life thinks that Chi- cago, Boston and Washington will be represented next year in the Americaao Association, and New York will drop out. The development of Pfeffer into a first-class pitcher will greatly strengthen Chicago. Fritz has many friends here, who would like tosee him one of the crack twirlers.

' Rowing Ripples. Teemer bas written to a friend in this city that he is rowing faster this season than ever before and will give a good account of himself this sea- sou. Wallace Ross has issued a challenge proposing to choose a mate and row a double scull race against —— Conley and Charles E. Courtney, next Sep- tember. Albert Hamm is living in Cambridge at present. He says that Conley and he have no intention of rowing double this season, or, in other words, he has no intention of rowing double with Conley. Hanlan says that if his friends in Australia desire it, he will go back there some time aud give Beach another race. As soon as he has rested sufficiently at Toronto, he will get himself in condition for Teemer or any other man in America, Should the Arzonaut four of Toronto, Canada, who hoid the four-oared championship of the Na- tional Amateur Association, wuo are now in En- gland, meet with success, the result will bs to boom amateur rowing ia the States and Canada. William Beach is the cha upion oarsman of the world. and he will claim that tide uness Hanlan decides to again visit Australia to meet Beach. Ihe latter will never come to this country or even go to Engiand to row Hanlan, and, unless he goes to Australia, the championship of the worid wii re- mam in New South Wales. The consolation race at New Orleans, between Hosmer, Lee and Mckay, was tlie best contesied event of the regatta. liosmer led by less than a length attheturn, McKay was abead 100 yards from the turning stake, and afew yards from the the finish, Hosmer again got to the front, and Won by less than a boat lengtu. When Hanlan went down the second time before Beach the generous-hearted Sydneyites raised a purse of over $3,000 for the defeated champion. Hanlon has a way of making friends, good frends, and whenever he goes back to the Antipodes he is sure to find backing for any amount of money. A good many people in Australia still believe that Hanlan can beat Beach. John Teemer of McKeesport has given an order for a new sheil to W. W. Ruddock, and the boat is already under way. It will be 32 feet long, 11 inches beam, 6 inches deep amidships, 8 inches deep for- ward and 3 inches de paft. It will have concéntric lines, but will not have the supplemeatary gu n- wales. The spread will be 66 inches, and tue boat will be rigged 1144 inches high. Replying to the proposition for à race or a series of races, made by Wallace Ross a few days ago, Charles E. Courtney of Union Springs says that as he names his mate in double sculls, Ross must do the same if he expects 4 match, and he would be glad if Ross made one of adoubie to oppose him and Conley. Courtney says that as Ross does not propose a race to take place before September, and does not make an open and square offer to row, he does not mean busiuess. Spray From the Nat.

Ancrs MITCHELL. IN SICILY. — The Ghastliest Charncl-House in the Civilized World, From Le Figaro. No man bears less resemblance to a Neapolitan than a Sicilian does. In the lower class Neapolitan you al- ways find at least two-thirds of the Puchinello. He gesticulates, becomes excited or animated without any appar cause, expresses himself quite as much by gestures as by words, acts everything he says, always shows himself ami- able for self-interest’s sake, polite through ¢un- ning rather than by nature, and he replies by gentgel phrases even to the most disagreeable observations. Unt in the Sicilian you find much of the Arab. He has the Arabian gravity of deport- moult, although from his Italian ancestors, he has inherited a great vivacity of mind. His in- born pride, his love of titles, the nature of his hautiness, and the form of his features, all tend to make him resemble the Spaniard 01 than the Italian. But what especially gives you a strong impression of be- 1 in the Orient, almost the very first moment you set foot in Sicily, is the tone of the voice, the peculiar nasal intonation of the street-cries. Everywhere you seem to recognize the shrill note of the Arab—that note which appears to descend from the head into the throat, while in the countries of the North it ascends from the chest to the mouth. And tho languid song, monotonous and sweet, which comes to your ears as you pass by the open door of a dwelling, exactly recalls by its rhythm and its accent the song ever sung by that white-robed horseman wio guides travelers over the vast and naked spaces of the desert, At the theater, on the other hand, the Sicilian eus to change again into a veritable Italian: and it is always a curious experience for any one of us to attend an operatic performance at Nome, Naples or Palermo. Every seusation experienced by the audience instantly betrays itself in an explosion of feel- ing. Nervous to excess, endowed with an ear as delicate as it is sensitive, and madly enamored ef music, the whole audience seems to become one being—°ne huge vibrant animal, which feels but never reasons. In five minutes such an audience will have applauded with enthusiasm and hissed with frenzy the very same actor—-the people stamp with delight or rage; and if one false note escapes from a singer’s throat, a strange, exasperating, ear piercing cry bursts from every mouth simul- taneously. When opinions differ, applause and hisses intermingle. But nothing ever escapes the notice of the attentive audience, which is , perpetually quivering with interest, which manifests its feeling almost every instant— and which often, in a sudden fit of indigna- tion, begins to howl like a menagerie of wild beasts, At present the most popular actress in Pal- ermo isa French woman, Mile. Hausemann, who has achieved a remarkable success in Car- men,“ an opera of which the Sicilian people are passionately fond, x *% There is nothing very extraordinary about the streets of Palerino. They are broad and handsome in the wealthier quarters of the town, and in the poorer districts resemble the narrow, tortuous and brightly colored alley- ways of Oriental cities. Wrapped in ragged garments of the most siowy colors red, blue or yellow—the women stand chatting before their doors, and gaze ul you as you re by with their black eyes, which gleam brightiy under their forest of dark hair. Sometimes, in front of the official lottery oftive, whose business is carried on with the permanent regularity of a religious service, Urinsing large revenucs to the State—you may observe a comical aud highly characteristic vecurrence, ight in front of the building is the Madon- na, in her niche, fastened to the wall, with a livhted lantern at her cure A = —_ out ol the lottery -office Olding is new y-pur- chased ticket in his hand; he drops a coin Into the poor-box which opens its little black mouth Lelow the statue; then he crosses himself with the ticket, which he reccommends to the Vir- cin, atter having thus fortified his prayer by (i0s-Ziving, Here and there you stop at a show-window to look at the variety of Sicilian views exposed for sale; and your eye is almost certain to fall UpoR One very queer ee ae representing & vault full of dead,—full of grimac skele- ene in fantastic attire.

It is a ideous, barbarous thing, which will soon dis- aar, thank goodness! Besides, they stopped burying people there two years ago.” And it is very difficult to obtain any infor- iiauon of a more precise or comprehensive surt—such is the horror that most Sicilians teem to have of these extraordinary cata- combs, . Finally, however, I managed to learn this much: — The soil upon which the Capu- chin monastery is built possesses to such a degree the singular property of the decomposition of a corpse, nothing remains u Patches of black wi = * dead; and after a year passes the coffin is opened and the corpse taken out;—a frightful rr bearded, agg Nag mum- my,—that seems to strive to shriek, that seems to be agonized by horrible tortures; and this mummy is then nded in one of thé main galleries, where the members of the family — to 4 it ae 1 to E who wish to be preserv process make their wills ecoordingly and they will be accG ly filed away under those black vaults; (like curiosities in a — so lon as their relatives pay a certain annual stipe When this is no longer paid the remains are taken away and buried in the ordinary man- ner. * 2 * 0 I resolved to visit this ghastly collection of corpses. At the gate of an humble-looking convent, an old Capuchin friar in his brown habit, re- céives me, to show me the way without saying a word, knowing by experience what 4 want to see in this place. We pass through a poor chapel, and slowly descend a broad stairway of stone. And all at once I see before us an immense gallery broad and lofty, to whose walls are suspended a whole nation of skeletons clad in the most oddly grotesque costumes. Some hang in air side by side, others are lying upon five great shelves of stone, rising one above the other from the soil to the ceiling. A line of dead stands erect upon the ground, a long compact rank, whose frightful heads seem to speak. Some heads are gnawed by hideous vegetations which deform even still more the jaws an bones of the face, some still preserve their hair, others fragments of mustache; othersa long bit of beard. These stare upward with their empty eyes; those iook downward; here are sofhe who seem tolaugh an atrocious laugh; here again are others that appear to writhe in agony, but all seem terrified as by some supernatural fear. And they are all dressed, these dead—these wretched, hideous, and ridictilous dead—all dressed by their relatives, who have taken them out of their coffins in order to make them take part in this awful assembly. Almost all are clad ina sort of long black robe, with a cowl whieh is generally drawn over the head. But there are others whose friends desired to attire more sumptuously; and the miserable skeleton, Wearing an em- broidered Greek cap, and savelonee in a rich man's dressing gown, seems, as it lies upon its back, to sleep a nightmarish sleep—a sleep at once ludicrous and terrific. = See. like a blind man’s begging card, bearing the name and thé date of death, is hung to the neck of each co Those dates make a cold shiver pass through the very marrow of one’s bones. You read, 1880—1851—1582. Here is a man, at least here is what was a man, three yearsago, only three years ago? This thing used to live; it laughed, talked, sat, drank, was full of joy and hope. And now be- hold it! Before this double rank of innumer- able dead, coffins and caskets aré hea up,—. luxurious coffins of black wood, with brazen ornaments, and glass windows to enable one to look inside them. You might almost mistake them for trunks, for weird baggage of some sort bought in some strange bazar—the hid- eous bazar attended by ali who must depart upon the Great Journey—as the writers of other days used to say. But other galleries opening to right and left prolong indefinitely this immense subterranean cemetery. a * .. . . Here are the women,—even more bur- lesque than the men, for they have been co- quetishly attired and bedecked. Their heads stare at you from within bonnets decorated with ribbons and with lace, making a show- white fringe around each black face, all putri- fied, all gnawed by the — chemistry of the earth. Their hands protrude, like the sev- ered roots of trees, from the sleeves of new dresses; and the stockings that contain the bones of the legs look enipty. Sometimes the dead wears only a pair of shoes,—large, too large for the poor dried-up feet. Here are the young giris—the hideous young girls -in their robes of white, each bearing about her brow a wreath of metal symbolizing innocence. They might be taken for old women very, very old women, so horrible are their rimaces. Their ages are 16, 18, 20 vears! How orrible! But now we enter a gallery full of little glass- coffins ;—this is the children’s burial-chamber. The bones of the little creatures, still soft. could not resist the work of decomposition- And you cannot tell exactly what y@ are look ing at,—the miserably little things are so de- formed, so crushed, so frightfully shapeless! But the tears come to your eyes when you ob- serve that the mothers have dressed them all in the same little dresses they wore when alive. And they come here to look at them sometimes, to see their little ones again, even thus! Often you see beside the corpse a photograph showing the living person as he was; and noth- ing is more startling, more K this contrast ;—than this comparison, than the fancies afoused within us by the spectacle of this juxtaposition. « * % We pass through another gallery, lower and darker, which seeins to have been reserved for the poor. In one black recess there are sotne twenty of them, suspended ail together under an opening in the roof, which lets in the outer air upon them in strong and sudden whiffs. They are clad in a sort of black canvas, fastened about the neck and feet; and as they lean one over the other, you would imagine they were shivering, seeking to escape, screaming for help. They look like the drowned crew of some ship, still lashed by the wind, and all wrapped in the dark tarred canvas attire that sailors wear in storms, and still quivering with the terror of that last moment when the sea de- voured them. Here is the chamber of the Priests,—a vast gallery of nonor! At the first glance they seem more terrible than the others,—robed as they are in their sacred vestments, black, red and violet. But as you examine them one after the other, a nervous and irrepressible laugh seizes you at the spectacle of their attitudes— the ghastly comedy of their poses. You behold some who sing; you see others who pray. The faces of all have been lifted up; the hands of all have been crossed. They wear sacredotal biretta upon their fleshless brows; sometimes it hangs sideways over one ear, ina jocular way; some- times it slips down over the nose. A very car- nival of death this, made more burlesque by the gilded richness of the ecclesiastical robes. From time to time a head roils dowh upon the ground;—the attachments of the neck haviug been gnawed through by mies. Thousands of mice dwell in this human charnel house, 2 Lam shown the remains of a man who died in 1882, Eighteen months before, happy and healthy, he had come hither — panied | by a friend, to select a place for himself. „I shall be put here!” he said; and he laughed. The friend now comes here alone; and re- mains for whole hotirs staring at the skelo- ton which indeed stands in the very place selected. On certain festival days the catacombs of the Capuchins are thfown open to the public. Once a drunken man got into the place, lay down to sleep, aud awoke in the middle of the night. He called, screamed, howled with terror, rushed madly toand froin vain efforts to estape. But no one heard him.

From the St. Jam es Garet te. In connection with the celebration at Moscow of the hundredth anniversary of the concession by the Empress Catherine of some not very important privileges to the nobility of Russia, it may be interesting to take a glance at some of those Russian families which, apart from all 2 of privilege, have played a part in of their country. Until the reign of Peter the Great the only title known in Russia was that of prince; and most of the Russian princes were descended from Rurik, the Varangian, who, arriving from Sweden, established his power in Russia ten centuries ago. When, after the final re- — of the Tartars, the czars of Muscovy re- uced such of the Russian principalities as still remained independent to the position of Musco- vite pryeindes, they assimilated the princes de- scended from Rurik to the ennobled chamber- lains and palace servants of the court of Mos- cow. These noble fatnilies of such different origins held still a privileged position in Russia until Peter the Great struck a blow at hereditary nobility by making it acessi- ble not only to persons of merit, but to all who attained a certain rank in the State service. He at the same time imposed upon all existing nobles the duty of serving for so many years in the military or civil service, thus converting them into an army of officials. Numbers of historical families continued all the same to be designated by titles; and though since Peter’s time a prince descended from Rurik is, classed in order of precedence not with any reference to his birth, but in accord- ance with his actual rank in the State service, the titles borne by the- aristocratic families of Russia have all the same their value. Amo the descendants from Rurik may be — the Dolgoroukis, the Gagarins, the Stoherba- toffs, the Gortschakoffs, the Bariatinskys, the Krapotkins, tha Odoiefskis, the Obolenskys, and some twenty or fiveand twenty more, including three or four whose descent is through female branches. The Galitzins, the Havanskys, the Troubetz- kois, and the Kourakins are, in common with six or seven of the great Lithuano-Polish fam- ilies, descended from Guedemin the Lithuanian. The Galitsins, indeed, are to be found in Poland as weil as in Russia. The name in Polish is spelt Galiczin; and it is probably de- rived from the ancient duchy of Halicz, or Galitch in Russian; though Prince Peter Dolgorouki, in bis aceount of the principal families in Russia, derives the name from gaits, a gauntlet. Several of the ancient ussian names are derived from personal peculiarities. Dolgorouki, for instance, signi- fies long arm.“ But they, for the most part, indicate a family possession, or some place where the family held power. Thus, the Volynski family, whose founder held an im- rtant commaad at Kulikovo,the first success- ul battle fought by the Russians against the Tarters, were from Volhynia. Some of the Russian historical familes, yet much fewer than is generally supposed, are of Tartar origin. Thus the Rostopchin who burned Moscow and made many excellent jokes, and whose daughter gained a high reputation by her lyric poems, was a lineal descendent of Genghis Khan. The Mestcherskys, too, date from the period of the Tartar combination, and owe their name of the town or district of Mes- tchera, conquered by the founder of the family in 1298. The Golovins, established in Russia since 1480, are of Crimean origin. The Gurous- ofs are of Tartar race, and have only been Christians since the sixteenth century. The Teherkasskys are, as the name denotes, of Circas- sian origin. Prince boris Tcherkassky married the aunt of the Czar Michael, founder of the Romanoff dynasty; and one of his near des- cendants commanded the first expedition sent by Russia, in the rcign of Peter the Great, against Khiva. Since Peter eleven princes, some sixty counts and a few barons have been created. These last have generally been bankers, or financiers connected with the court; and, with the excep- tion of Kutaissoif, Paul's Circassian valet, are almost the only civilians who have received titles. A few diplomatists have been so dis- tinguished, but they have generally, as in the comparatively recent case of Count Ignatieff, began life in the army. Count Nesselrode, too, foreigh minister under Nicholas, was origin- ally an officer in the imperial guard, but the Emperor Paul, seeing him at parade, and recognizing in him the demeatior not of a sol- dier, but of a diplomatist, ordered him to leave the army and enter the foreign oifice. — Sagoo own creations may, in par- ticular, mentioned the Menschikoffs, the Souvaroffs and the Orloffs. The first of the Menschikoffs was a pastry-cook’s boy at Mos- cow in Peter's reign; but he enlisted in the army, rose to the rank of general and rendered important services to his country. Scribe and Meyerbeer introduced him as one of the leading personages in “TL Etoile du Nord.” Hut the family objected to their ancestors being shown as a pieman with a tenor voice offering his pies for sale on the public stage; and the Menschikoff of the origi- nal cast now figures as Daniloviteh. The first of the Souvarons was the son of a priest in the confidence of Sophia, Peter the Great’s sister. He enlisted as a soldier and became a general. His son, the greatest commander Russia has known, was made count after the battle of Rymnik and prince after the Italian campaign of 1790. The Orlofts, so powarful under the Empress Catharine, were descended from a soldier who, having taken part in the insurrec- tion of strelitzes or archers, had been sentenced to death, aud was about to be decapitated, when, by his fearless bearing and the energetic manner in which he kicked aside the fallen heads that r- his progress toward the block, he attracted the attention of Peter, who at otiee perceived that more could be done with such a inan living than dead, Orloff was putintothe army where he greatly distin- guished himself, and his descendents have held the highest posts in the Russian service even to this day. There is another Orloff family whith dates from the reign of Paul, and is of Cossack origin, Its founder was that remarkable man, Hetman. of the Cossacks of the Don, who, at the head of thirty thousand Cossacks and horse artillery, started for Khiva and Bokhara with the intention of raising the ‘tribes of Cen- tral Asia on his way and conducting = through Afghanistan to India, where, N ing to the written instructions of his friend and well-wisher Paul,” he was to destroy the English settlements on the Indus.” After the ificorporation of Georgia in the century, several Georgian families had titles conferred upon them, or rather their own titles confirmed. Eminent among these are the Ba- grations, descended from the Czars of Georgia, and the Dadianoffs, sprung from the royal house of Mingrella, The first of the Benningsens was a Harover- ian, who entered the Russian service under the Empress Catherine, and was soon suff ciently Russianized to be allowed to take part in the assassination of the Eimperor Paul, which did not prevent him from attaining the rank of full General under the reign of Paul's son and successor. Alexander I. Kleinmichel, one of Nicholas’ most influential ministers, was the son of a Finnish peasant, who enlisted in the Amy and became a General. The only Printe created by Nicholas was Paskievitch, who, made Count of Erivan for his Persian campaign, was named Prince of Warsaw after a of the Polish insurrection of The number of titled families in Russia is by no means large. But as Le of the family bears the title the number of titled per- son is immense. It is, perhaps, needless to add that a title in Russia no value or significance. But that it counts for soinething, especially when it is with large ions, is shown by the recur- ewe of — 1 tho 1 Bong 8 t in Russian history.

C g these c nces, the Moscow celebration, unless intended in irony, must be dismissed as a bad joke. WHAT THE LAWYERS RECEIVED. The Enormous Fees Paid by the Par- ties to the Maric-Garrison Suit. From the New York Times. Lawyers who are connected with the large cases which arise fromtime to time in our courts are generally paid very large fees. In the cases involving millions of dollars arising out of the wrecking of the Missouri Pacific Railway in 1876—at present the backbone of Jay Gould’s great Southwestern System—by the late Commodore Garrison and his friends, the legal fraternity received from all sources nearly $1,000,000. In one of these suits, known as the Marie-Garrison suit, which has recently been compromised and set- tled by Mr. Gould by a payment of $1,005,000, the counselors’ fees were as follows! Melville C. Day, alarge salary for eight years and $100,000 on the settlement; He L. Clinton, a check for $65,000 from John T. Terry, assignee of Mr. Garrison, besides large sums previously paid, regating over $100,000; ex-Judge Com- stock, $500 a day for every day’s work,$75,000; Joseph H. Choate, $25,000; E. L. Andrews, who was in case about six months, $10,000, and W. B. Putney, $25,000, approximately. What C. A. Runkle was paid as a retainer, al- though he never had anything todo with the case, is not known, but it must have been a large sum. Neither is it known what was paid to Dillon & Swayne, but rumor says the amount was $50,000. All these gentlemen were in the employ of the defendants, and their approxi- mate pay was $450,000, On behalf of the plaintiffs fewer lawyers were retained, because their attorney was able to carry the suits through to a successful ter- mination without a corps of assistants, and the fees were correspondingly smaller. Ex-Senator Roscoe Conkling received $50,000, and William A. Beach $18,750, while up to date Mason W. Tyler, the attorney who drew the original com- * and summons in 1877, and devoted nearly 1is whole tithe to the various suits here, in St. Louis and in Washington, has received only 825,000. His claim for $55,000 more has not yet been settled, and there is little doubt that a suit will be instituted by him against Messrs. Marie, Cutting, Fearing, Cowdrey and others for its recovery. Mr. Tyler declares that he took the case on a contingency, and should really receive 10 per cent of the sum taken in settlement, which would be $100,500. So the plaintiffs have paid out $93,750 in counsel fees in this suit, and a claim for $55,000 is yet to be settled. Referee Theodore W. Dwight received for fifteen inonths’ connection with the case $15,000, Tius in this one suit the lawyers have succeeded in securing for themselves about 8600, 000, Crawling Out of His Skin. From the New York World. - The big boa-constrictor in Central Park shel his skin yesterday afternoon. He was stiff from his long winter's sleep and as his head swayed from side to side, the mottled skin began to break just back of his neck. The head swung from side to side more violently still and the rent back of his neck grew larger. A piece of skin, transparent and lookihg like pure honey-comb dropped off and fell to the bottom of the cage. By this timea great crowd of curious visitors pressed about the glass inclusure, watching the boa’s efforts to peel off the old skin, Sliding up to the wooden sash that heid the panes of glass he pulled his length along scraping the old skin off against the sharp partition. Very slowly the sinuots folds moved by, and it was fifteen minutes before a strip of flakey skin, some- what like the scales of a big fish, was peeled off. This showed a narrow strip of new shiny skin beneath; but the strip peeled off was only about two inches wide, so the lumbering snake turned around and began scraping off the flakes in the same way on the other side. So the process was kept up until he finally emeryed, looking fresh and 8 aud glisten- ing in his new mottied dress. The other boa was hot yet parted with its last "3 skin. W hile the suake was writhing in its efforts to clear itself a lady in the crowd fainted and was led out. MATTERS AND THINGS IN MEXICO Ten cats laden with lead saved the bridge of the Mexican National Railway over the Rio Grande during the flood of May 1. The Vera Cruz Custom House for April col- lected 824,500 in payment for duties. Dur- ing April of last year the collections reached $040,600, Jose Zorrilla opened a cotton factory in Vista Hermosa, Oaxaca. He sent the first sev enty pieces as a donation to the jails and hos pitals of Oaxaca, The American and English letter carrier system is being introduced in the City of Mexico, and a thorough overhauling in postal matters appears to be in process there. The grasshoppers have appeared in the mountains west of the Guadalupe, San Luis Potosi, and cover a tract of 4,500 square feet. The people bave turned out en masse to kill thein. The House of Deputies have sanctioned the importation of corn, froe of duty, at the ports of Caimpecbe, Progreso aud Fronter, on account of the destruction effected in the crops by the loeusts. The London airectors of the United Mexican Mining Company announce that the excess of returns over owiay on the mine of Geyetano de la Ovejera for the week ending May 2 were 380,800. The Central and South American Telegraph companies made a very snug thing out of the recent difficulties in Guatemala and at Pan- ama, their net profits running as high as 810% a day during the height of the trouble. The Mexican Republic has now 8,536 4 schools, with a total of 435,953 pupils. This is a good showing, considering the compara- tively small attention received by the subject of education in Mexico since the separation of church and state. A vigorous protest comes up from the Mex- ican town of Nueva Laredo in favor of the re- tention of the Zona Libre inits present form. That little strip of territory along the Bravo is too valuable as a basis for shady operations to permit of its abolition. They want to be alone. The tary of Public Instruction has sent in a bill to be acted by to effect that a National College of Teachers be established in the City of , te be organ- ized by the executive in conformity with most red 5 tems; that the sum of $100,- 000 shall be devoted to the instal — * WHO WAS IT? A Massive Politician in a Russian Bath is Cared for by Two Comedians. The lattice door of the room in the Russian bath ng slowly inward froma pressure without, that which had opened it moved majestically into the room like the baloon jib of a no s yacht bellying easily fore the wind. It was white, rotund, spher- ical, billowy, and vast, and it formed the most prominent feature of a large and distinguished man, a well-known politician, wno accompanied itinto the room. Perhaps it would be well here to admit that it was an integral part of the man himself. He was indubitably fat. The only people in sight were two gentlemen whose faces are familiar to the public all over the United States. They reclined in — easy chairs, and chanted I'm Always Coy an Happy in My Birthday Clothes,” while they watched the thermometer rising toward the two hundredth degree. Suddenly the plumper 1 two men ceased singing, and said, 80 0 Hist! What ho! A yacht!” Then he slid out of his chair and turned with a respectful bow to the politician who was en- tering the room. The new comer was a bit be- fogged, or he would have recognized the radi- ant grin and suave air of John A. Mackey in the well-rounded man before him. Meanwhile the other man, who was sli ile and quick, and none other than eee E. 1 ixey, rose and and out of the room. “Are you accustomed to these baths, sir?” asked Mr. Mackey, feeling the big man's pulse, listening to his heart beats, and prodding him with his thumb in the back ribs with great force, assuming meanwhile an expression of grave professional concern. No, Doctor,” answered the victim thickly, and B sex wildly every time the thumb landed on a favorite rib. No, I yaint—oh!— ’eustomed; but I’ve been drink—ink!—ing a good deal, and feller said—pswak !|—” Said what, sir?“ asked Mr. Mackey, sharp- ly, with another dig. ‘said I'd better get rid o' it this way—y!” He sank heavily into a chair with the perspira- tion streaming from him and the billowy pro- tuberance rising in the air like a cifcus tent from the field. First bath, eh?’ said Mr. Mackey with a thoughtful air. Then raising his head, he cried: James!“ : ‘*Yezzur,” said Mr. Dixey, coming in witha rush, slamming the door, turning the gas up and down a dozen times rapidly overturning a chair, and 1 a saturnine gaze on the large victim, who had an appealing look in his eye. It is the gentleman’s first bath, James,” said Mr. Mackey, with an abstracted air. „What d’y’want, chloroform or laughin’ gas?” asked Mr. Dixey, carelessly. “T think, James,” continued Mr. Mackey in a deep aside, the gentleman had better eat a soup dish full of hot fried tripe first, after which we will administer the laughing gas——” Great Lord!” yelled the large man, strug- gling until he got his head above the level of the soaring white expanse, and panting indignant- ly. “Do you aan “Soy!” said Mr. Dixey, with the choicest of Fourth ward accents. “Sit down.” „But ” Did y’r hear me say siddown? Well, do it. see?” The fat politician looked up at the scowling visage of the muscular young man before him and sank. “Doctor,” he said, in a more stbdued tone, Jean go the laughing gas, but I draw the line at fried tripe Do you prefer it stewed?” „No-, I don’t want * „Soy!“ said Mr. Dixey, with a light and easy shiver. What's de madder wid de steam?” It is a little chilly in here,” said the alleged physician, despite the fact that the perspira- tion was running off his chin in a rivulet, ‘‘Let us have a little more steam, James!“ The nozzle of the loose steam pipe was placed under the politician’s chair and the comedians retired and turned the faucet. There was a hoarse hiss, the white canopy rose in the air, and. the politician made for the door. Hedidnot escape, but was placed in another chair, and while the Doctor explained the theory of tlie bath James spilled ice water over the great white dome and brought the politician to his feet with a pointed remark and one mors gasp. Then be was taken into the wash-room and laid upon a marble slab which had been thoroughly soaped. He was re- quired to turn over and over by the two sol- emn-looking young men while they alternately played steam and cold water on him. It may, rhaps, be imagined that the evolutions of a arge and slippery man upona well-soaped marble slab exhibit many of the elements of the grotesque. He was buffeted, rushed, show- ered, plunged, and finally led back into the hot room and wra —. up warmly in blankets, while his kind friends remarked upon his apo- plectic appearance and ran over fue list of men who had died within a month in the room. They added another blanket and then with- drew. “Why don't you attend to the stout gentle- mari in the hot room?” asked Mr. Dixey of one of the attendants as the comedians went to their dressing rooms. “I neffer go indo dot bath ven you is dere. Meestair Diazep; you make too mudge uv a fool of mysel ve. „Nevertheless, go there at once,“ said Mr. Mackey sternly, and see that you give the entleman a thorough rubbing. He says he nas been drinking, and imagines that he has already 21 don't shirk your work on that account.“ Half an hour later, when the two comedians walked jauntily forth, the bath fang with the gasps and gurgles of the large and unfortu- nate politician, who was being put through the ropes by the stalwart attendant remorse- lessly. But the comedians never smiled. Not Like They Used to Be.

But rattlesnakes are getting mighty scarce, said Uncle Joe. ‘Everybody who sees one kills it, if he can, and taking them with what we catch leaves but few in the mountains of Luzerne County. There’s no use in killing them, that I can see. They won't hurt any- body, if let alone. You might walk within two feet of one and he couldn’t hurt youif he wanted to. All this talk about their jumping through the air at you is all nonsense; a snake, to strike, must be coiled up and must have his tail on the ground. The result is that he can’t strike a distance greater than about one-half his length. I have seen thousands of them strike and never saw one strike any different from any other. Another thing is that he al- ways Ui his rattle when he is about to strike. If snake sees you coming he will run for his den, but he wont make any noise about it. If he doesn’t see you till you are right over him he will flatten out and try to escape notice, unless he thinks you are going to attack him, and then he will coil and strike. It is when he flattens out that he can be caught by quietly but quickly placing the flat end of a stick or cane on the back of his neck. This has to be done carefully and skillfully. If you press down too hard you will break his neck, as that is his weak point. If not hard enough he may be able to bite you. After securing him with the stick, you must catch him with your left hand just back of the head, and then with a pair of short scissors cut out his f There are two on each side of the upper jaw, and they are hinged so as to lie along the roof of the mouth when it is closed. They drop down and are ready for business when the mouth isopen. It is certain death to touch the point of one of these fangs while cutting them out. They afe almost as sharp as a cambric needle, and still they are hollow and through a hole in the tooth comes the ison. Once get the fangs out and they can ite with their saw teeth, but with no more harm than any ordinary snake. Take away their fangs and they become very much sub- dued and will submit to almost any kind of handling. Sometimes I leave the fangs in for a doctor who wants to experiment with the ison.” How about their committing suicide when | they are getting the worst of a fight?” „J guess they only do that in natural his- tories. I have never known any to do So. I tell you whatisa fact though, and I’ve seen them do it often. That is for the little ones to run down the mother’s throat for 1 I’ve cut many a one out that's crawled in, just as I have many a one before birth. You know the rattle snake is the only reptile that doesn’t lay eggs, but gives birth to its young. They come in. litters of from five to a dozen, and I have heard of as many as eighteen, What do they feed on? Mostly on mice and birds, and not very many of them. They generally come out of their dens in the 1 and feed and sun themselves until alon August. At that time they begin to shed their skins. They make a clean change, even to new skin over the eyes. Of course this makes them blind for awhile. They keep pretty close to their dens during this time, although they will go away for a mile or two when they are out foraging. As soon as it gets cold they go into and under the rocks until they get beyond the frost and live there till warmer weather comes again. Won't be long, I guess, before we have them all cleaned out. e have spotted every den in Luzerne and Lackawanna Counties, and they are about all depopulated. Still, there’s a man in Philadelphia that takes old and young, big and little, at $5 apiece, and they're worth pick- ing up for that amount.” The Plague Of Locusts. The London Standard, in an article on the recent ravages by locusts in Roumania, says: “Again and again the various ies have wrought dire havoc wherever their wanderin have taken them. Pestilence usually comes in the rear of all, and is aggravated, if not occa- sioned, by the effluvium from the decaying bodies of the dead cattle, or of the insects which have been blown into the sea and after- ward cast upon the shore by the waves and tide. A case is on record in which the stench from such a bank was carried one hundred and fifty miles into the interior, and early in the Christian era the the hunger and plague com- bined which followed a visitation of locusts in North Africa caused the death of eight hun- dred thousand persons. Four centuries ago, it is narrated on what seéms fairly trustworthy data, that more than thirty tho rsons perished within the bounds of the Venetian ter- ritory from the lack of food owing to the lo- custs having eaten up everything, and sinte that date locust plagues have been so numer- ous it is not difficult to accept the earlier tales as true.

By Five Distinguished Professional Men. —, — Each One of Whom Have a Dif- ferent Opinion and Tell a Different Tale, i n The Worthy Gentleman's Ex- perience as Given By His Own Lips to a Re- porter. 19 ’ Sas . SS D N 0 0 John A. Knapp of 2925 McNair Avenue. “Does Mr. John A. Knapp live here?” inquired a reporter of a refined looking gentleman, who appeared at the door of 2025 McNair avenue in answer to a ring. The gentleman replied that he was Mr, Knapp, and ushered the reporter into the pleasant front room of the substantial, homelike house. The reporter's business was quickly ex- plained, and Mr. Knapp proceeded to relate the following story: “I had been suffering for some time with oppres- sion in my chest and a growing difficulty in breathing, and it finally grew so bad as to seriously alarm me. In January last it had become so serious that I was forced to discontinue my work, that of machinist at II. & L. Chase's buggy manu- factory. I sawa physician, and he said 1 had asthma, and treated me about four weeks for that disease. At the end of that time 1 had grown much worse, and SOUGHT ANOTIIFR PHYSICIAN. This one said I was suffering from contraction of the heart and swelling of the lungs and liver. In his words, I ‘was all gorged up inside.“ He treated me about four weeks, and I grew worse all the time. I could hardly breathe at times and my limbs were swollen fright- fully. “I again changed physicians,and this one said the others were all wrong and that I was suffering from enlargement ofthe heart. 1 began treatment with him on March 16, aud on April4 he gave the case up and told me plainly that my days were numbered and that my death was only a matter of afew weeks at most. He told me to go to a well-known physician of the city who might be able to prolong my days. In bis own language the doctor he recommended was the best physician this side of Philadelphia, and if any one can give you relief, he can.’ Thad the physician, whom I knew very well by reputation, called at once. He diagnosed my case and at once pronounced it . DROPSY OF THE HEART and incurable. He said I would not possibly live longer than two weeks and that it was of no use to doctor and worry during the short span of life left me. He gave me 4 prescription which he 88 4 would ease me, and suggested that I cali in a physi- clan located near my residence, astit was likely I would need attendance as often as three or four times a day and during the night, and it would be to have one near at band. “This we did, and he coincided at ones with the eminent practioner's views, and said that with care and close attention f might lire for three weeks, but not longer than that.

A large number of the London children, girls more especial - ly, get occasional empley ment as supers in the great London theaters, for which they receive the mag- nificent sum of sixpence a night, together with an intoxicating delight which is to them a foretaste of heaven. The brilliant lights, the warmth, the garments in which they are attired; the sight of the richly dressed and bejeweled audi- ence, and. above all, the sixpence which means a bed for that night anyway, aod a pennorth of that heavy, sweet, doughy pudding, rich in raisins, wiich is the great deligat of tne London Arab, are things to be desired and longed for. over such crack organizations. Since the advent of the “Chickasaw Guards,” “Quapaw Rifles,“ Boston Tigers“ and the Louis- ville Legion“ to fame and distinction an idea has become prevalent among some of the members of Company K, which, if carried out success- fully, will blast the fair prospects of that organization forever. The boys appear to be bothered with the big head, now that Corpo- ral Beal has returned to active participation in the company’s affairs, and are of the opinion that, lke the organizations ntioned above, they are entitled to aswell name, and if there is any- thing which they are entitled to that they haven't alieady got, they propose to get it, or become better acquainted with the obstacle which intervenes between them and ſts pos- session.
