ARRIVAL OF UNITED STATES MINISTER PARKER AT SEOUL. _— A Ride Through Hot Rice Fields and in Chinese Chairs—The Walled Capital City of Corea—An Audience With the King— The Curiosity ef the Ceorean Ladies— Peeping Through Holes in Paper Walls. ae By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatcr. NEW YORK, August 7.—The correspondent of & morning paper, under date of June 16, writes as follows from Seoul, the capital of Corea: On the 6thof March the United States steam- ship Palos, having the Minister on board, ar- rived in Ohemulpo, the seaport of Seoul, the capital of Corea. Onthe following day Minis- ter Parker and his secretary, Mr. Reverdy J. Travers of New York, left the ship to avail themselves of the proffered hospitality of the Japanese Consulate at Chemuipo. As he left a salute of fifteen guns was fired, and when we heard the loud boom of the Palos’ old smooth bores reverberating around the rocky hilis, the loud noise coming from a small ship, seemed a mockery of the din and tinsel we were about to see surrounding Corean royalty. On the morning of the 8th, a motley crowd assem- bledinthe yard of the Japanese Consulate; chair coolier with theirChinese chairs, men with saddle horses, men with pack horses, children of all ages and sizes in a state of uncleanliness; even one or two of the shy Corean women who have become hardened to the foreigner’s gaze, awaited the spectacie of the train accompanying the Minister of the great American nation. Five naval officers with their gold lace and swords, forming a phalanx more fitted to charm the female eye than awe the masculine heart, were MINISTER PARKER'S ONLY F8CORT, and as they rode through the hotrice fields these articles of uniform one by one disap- peared. One officer who had been ‘‘under fire,’’ alone showed his scorn ofthe ardours of a Corean gun, and with sword strapped about his waist and coat buttoned up to his chin, toiled up the hills with an endurance worthy of a better cause. After a hot ride of twenty-nine miles made in eight hours in Chinese chairs we entered the walied city of Seoul, the capital city of Corea, and a short trip through its narrow, filthy streets brought us} to the beautiful grounds of the American Legation. The King was immediately notified that the Minister desired to present his cre- dentiais whenever it suited the royal pleasure. As His Majesty wished the presentation to be made under the most favorable auspices, he appointed the tirst ‘‘lucky day’’ for the cere- mony. The day appointed was the i2th of June. On that day, jast before 2 p.m., we alighted from our chairs at the steps leading to the gates of the palace. Royal etiquette was plainly indicated here by a stone on which is carved in Chinese characters: ‘‘Getdown here, both great and small.’’ After a vexatious de- lay the heavy locks were turned with a clang, the iron bars withdrawn and the ponderous gates opened. Asa mart of favor the minister allowed usto pass under the large central arch, while the escort had to pass beneath the sinaller arches. Following the otticials through the palace grounds crowded with small houses (there are said to be 4,000 people living within the palace walls) after a 1alf mile walk, we were shown into a sinaill, poorly built room, where we were to await the pleasure of the hing. Here we were met by tne Presidentof the Foreign Office and other high officials, and after a short deten- tion we once wore resumed the line of march. A short distance brought us to asmall court and passing through a gate we found our- selves IN THE PRESENCE OF THE KING of Corea. He was standing on a small bal- cony between and behind two square tabies, over each of which a LBrussels rug ws#s thrown. The floor was partially covered by similar rug, and behind the King an embrold- éred screen formed the only handsome piece of furniture around him, At each table ua eunuch stood motionless and expressionless, and before each eunuch was a soldier with a long heavy sword. The King is a small man of .about five feet tive inches high and rather prepossessing in appear- ance. His features are somewhat of the Jewish custe, with sparse beard and mustache, and he hasthe brightest of twink- ling eyes. Altogether he has the appearance of being in astate of constant delight. He wore a | a robe of scariet silk, embroidered with goid, with long flowing sieeves com- pletely hiding his crossed hands. On his head was the Corean skull cap of splintered bam- boo, woven in with biluck silk. As the Corean officials came up the two stone steps leading to the balcony, they prostrated themselves ou the floor, touching it with their foreheads. Foreigners, however, are ouly expected to make three bows. In theinterview which followed the King showed great interest and friendliness to the United States, expressing his gratification that our great country bad once more concluded to send a minister to his little kingdom, and hoped that the two coun- tries might always remain on the best of terms. fie also referred to the first foreign treaty ever made by Corea, namely, the one with the United States, which opened ber gutes to foreign nations and prepared fie way tor other important ratifications. Finally, he SPOKE IN GLOWING TERMS of Ensign Foulk of the United States Navy, who has been acting as charge d’affaires since the sudden departure of Minister Foote, after the mussacre two years ago. Ensign Foulk has endeared himself to the King and people, and the King is very anxious for him to accept some hich office in the Oorean government, having forwarded a request to the President through the Minister that he be allowed to accept such a position. At the close of the audience the Minister presented his com- anions, Lieutenant-Commander Nason, Dr. Leach, and Paymaster Sullivan, United States Navy, and Mr. Reverdy J. Travers, Secretary of Legation. When the Minister asked permission to withdraw the King re- plied: ‘*You may now go and take a lunch. During the presentation the ladies of the pal- ace had gathered behind the paper walls sep- arating the balcony from the rest of the house. in this partition fair fingers had already punched a few holes and atevery hole an eye appeared, As these eyes were constantly changing we inferred that the impatient whispers behind the scenes meant ‘*next. Soon several who had evidently been crowded cut of the peep-show punched their fingers through, and at each new hole afresh eye appeared. Imagine the Queen of Corea peering through a hole in @ paper screen unched by the royal foreiinger. he epau- ettes and gold lace of the naval gioup seemed to be the cause of the unusual excitement for all eyes centered there and even the sing ap- peared more taken with their glitter than with the courtly manner and elegant utterances of our distinguished Minister who wore the simple costume with which our great Republic clothes her highest civil dignitaries. Amid the bright colors and ginger-bread work of the King’s surroundings there was an entire ab- sence of all real magnificence, and the smil- ing little man in his scarlet robes seemed more like the king of the carnival than the absolute ruler of 12,000,000 of people. A DIME-NOVEL HERO. Marion Gamble, a Montana Stage-Robber, Taken to Albany, N. Y. CHICAGO, August 7.—A stage robber from the mountains and plains of the wild West is a prisoner in the Central Police Station. He was brought in from the Anamosa (Io.) Peni- tentiary by United States Marshal W. M. Des- mond, and will be taken to-day to the Pen!- tentiary at Albany, N. Y. His story is an interesting one and savors of the ‘‘Ned Bunt- -Buffalo Bill’’ order of Western amuse- peo In appearance Marion Gambie—for that is his name— is a sallow-faced young man of = ye Almost every word he says ina forced mann take atters as oer the circumstances. In stature he is of the size, and will weigh unds. According to his own jon he, with two others, dup a stage in Montana containing fifteen perso including ry freely abo who Albany, says he is a desperate fellow. He was sentenced to imprisonment for life on the charge of robbing the United States mail and imperilling the lire of the carrier. He was first placed in the penitentiary at Deer Lodge, Mont., but proved to bean incorrigible con- vict. He was constantly planning to escape, and keptthe prisoners in constant turmoil. Unce he succeeded in getting outside of the prison and it is said he killed two of the guards before he was over- powered. He denies, however, that he killed anybody. He was finally transferred to the Penitentiary st Anamosa, Jones County, Io., for safe keeping. His old, restless spirit however, kept him scheming to escape, and the same difliculty was experienced with him there asat Deer Lodge. He escaped once last winter, but mistook the locality of the prison house, and ran directly through the town instead of out into the country. fie was consequentiy soon overhauied and re. turned to jaii. The authorities there teared he would eventually succeed in escaping, and steps were taken to have him transferrea again to a safe place. Accordingly « mittimas was obtained from Attorney-General Garland for his trausfer to tue Penitentiary at Albany, EMPTIED THE HOTEL, A Lively Scare at Narragansett Pier Over a Case of Scarlet Fever. By Telegraph to the Post-Disratcu. NARRAGANSETT PIER, R. I., August 7.—One would hardly think, looking upon the fifty or sixty couples at yesterday morning’s hop, dancing the german at the Casino, that among them are not a few who Thursday and Wednes- day were well nigh frightened out of their wits in the panic consequent on discovering there was scariet fever at the hotel. It appears that about noon on Wednesday a guest of the Con- tinental Hotel announced in loud tones that two children had scariet fever and she intended togoout. Lad she gono then no one would have been any the wiser. buat she did not, and, instead, went about scattering the news far and wide and with wondertul rapidity. While there has beena sort of panic, and no one Makes an aiteinpt to deny that, the scare has had a bad effect upon the Continental Hotel. Still, scariet fever is not raging, and there is no epidemic. Mr. Horace Fassett of Philadelphia and his young family have for some weeks been occupying one ofthe cottages belonging to the hotel. inis gentleman has a<diaughter, Sylvia, 7 years old, who, some time since, hat a serious at- tack of whooping cough. Dr. Charles Hitchcock prescribed the usual remedies. On Tuesday, however, the child grew unmistakably feverish and ho was sent for in iaste. There was no question now that it was scarlet fever, but had there been any it would have been dispeiled by the discovery next morning of another case right in the hotel, little Miss Fassett being, of course, in the cottage. After this the child grew worse and the symptoms ofthe boy in the hotel became quite serious. Dr. Hitch- cock was called to this one also. Yesterday the children were not in danger, Thwe excitement was increased ‘Thursday by the discovery that in a cottage down the road there is a third case, but this, so far as can be learned, completed the list. When the story became knowa there was a rush to the hoiel cierk’s desk by the guests for their accounts. it was very armus- ing to witness the rushing hither and thither for express trains. The boat which went over to Newport that day took thirty pieces of bag- gage, and that was not a circumstance to tiie number that left the Continental bet ween day- lightand dark. The hotel had 150 guests, but when THE FXCITEMENT SUBSIDED, more than one-half the rooms were vacant. The Continental lies between the Mount Hope spiendid waterfrout. itis oertain the guests at nt Hope are not yet seared, for Thurs- day night Mr. Caswell, the proprietor, had but one room to let. But there was a panic at the Continental, and Mr. Bates has been ua great loser, although in aninterview with a distinguished Newport gentieman who arrived last night it is learned that there was no spe- cial reason forone. He states that the drain- age is as good as at any similar re- sort. Everything is «drained into the vcean by iron pipes and that, he says, isthe best way togetrid of it, He thinks it not very wonderful that there should be a case of scarlet fever developed from the visit of 3,000 0r 4,000 people who come from every part ofthe country. He says the hoteis are only second- class and the plumbing is bad, butthis 1s offset by the fact that the people regularly live out of doors and only use their rooms to sleepin. The rooms have been thoroughly fumigated and deodorized under the instructions of the leading physicians. A number of new guests have come in since the scare, and each ts informed of the facts before he regis- ters and, asa matter of precaution, Mr. Bates has decided to take no more children during ths balance ofthe season. There is a lull in the excitement and it is quite possible that in a couple of days the scare will be over. The Casino was quite gay last night. It is now theroughly understood that aithough there is probibition in the Rhode Isiand statutes, there is no fear about asking the waiter foradrink, but direct him to bring you one and you will get it. JOSH AND BUDDHA. The Chinese of New York Erecting a Grand Temple for Their Gods. By Telegraph fo the POST-DiISPATCH. NEW YorK, August 7.—A proclamation in flaming red hieroglyphics has been going the rounds of the Chinese colony itn Mott street, where it has created excitement. It emnanates from the new Chinese Consul and received the sanction of the Chinese Municipal Councils of this city. Thé proclamation calls on the Mon- golians to subscribe money for the erection in this city of a grand Chinese temple for the native gods, Josh and Buddha. It is also proposed to bulld, in connection with the temple, a bospital for the destitute sick of the Chinese nationality to be in charge of an eminent Chinese doctor, nowin Canton. Al- ready large subscriptions for the temple have been made by prominent Chinese merchants. The prociamation calls upon the laundrymen, of whom there are 3, in the State, to subseribe $1 each. The circular has also been sent to the Chinese inhabitants of allthe iarge cities East and West. Several years ago the OChi- nese brought here from their native land their god and lodged him in asanctuary at No. 16 Mott street. This temple, however, was soon found inadequate and anew sanc- tuary was opened at No. 202 Chatham Square for the worship of Josh. The number of worshipers is now so great thatanew temple is necessary and hence the proclamation. A FUNNY MISTAKE, An Upper Set of False Teeth Get Into the Wrong Mouth. Telegraph to the PoOsT-DISPATCH. RIDGEPORT, Conn., August 7.—The lady manager of a Bridgeport boarding-house had occasion, several days ago, to go to New York. Onreaching the station she was ‘hor rified to find thet she had forgotten her upper teeth. Athoughtful domestic, however, had noticed the fatal oversight and arrived with the ivories justas the train was about to The teeth were nervously lodged in ove. the proper place butit was not iong before the matron felt a disagreeable sen- sation in her aw. There seemed to be some misfit that interfered with the working of the machinery, and she discov- ered thattne pulp hada culiar cigarette flavor as it passed down, Then she had a kind of quaim which she confidingly charged to the extreme heat and the car ride, but she wonid find out what it all meant when she got home. When Brown, who was oneof the boarders, came down to a late breakfast, he ventured to demand who had been in his room, for his upper teeth had disappeared. The mystery was unr avelled when the matron returned in the evening. Brown was giad that ‘‘some of him’’ had been abie to visit New York, but he declined to resume oid rv- lationship with his tramp teeth. A Small Blaze.

The Paris Gaulois publishes a detailed account of the duel between Gen. Bou- langer and the Baron de Lareinty. sev- eral contradictory stories of this due! were cabled and printed, but this ono from the Gaulois, which tallies with the proces verbal, is b lieved to have been re- vised, if not written, by Baron de Larecinty himself. ‘*When the principals arrived upon the ground they saluted each other. The seconds, at some little distance from them, began to make the final prepura- tions forthe combat. During this timo the Baron de Lareinty and Gen. Boulan- ger, left facing each other at about thirty eres ee walked up and down. uddenly oulanger, finding him- self 4 this movement in front of the Baron, saluted him, and at once they entered into conversation which lasted about a quarter of an hour. When the seconds returned to the fighting round they were astonished to find the wo adversaries engaged in a quiet tete-a- tete. Gen. Frehault tried the pistols, which were brought by the seconds of Baron de Lareinty. Gen. Lecointe loaded them. The principals were placed in posi- tion at twenty-five paces apart. ‘The fir- ing was at the word—that is to say, at the word ‘one’ they were to raise their pistols, aim and fire before the word three.’ **Gen. Lecointe in a loud voice cried out ‘One!’ Gen. Boulanger aimed et Lareinty, and at the word ‘Two’ he low- ered his pistol plainly, and a dul! snap was beard. Seeing this movement, end, as the word ‘Three’ was given, Baron de Lareinty fired obliquely, and then, a4- vaucing toward Boulanger, he said in an angry tone: ‘General, why didn’t you fire at me?’ ** *Mons. le Baron,’ replied the Gener- al, I did not mean to offend you by onit- ting to fire at you. You see my pistol has missed fire’ (rate). Then Gen. Lecointe took the pistol from Gen. Boulanger’s hand and, holding it up, pulled the trig- ger. It missed the second time, but o2 the third trial it went off. ‘“‘The seconds then declared that the conditions of the duel were fulfilled and honor satistied. ‘‘Gen. Boulanger then offered «his hand to Baron de Lareinty and remarked to him: ‘I would have been much grieved to have deprived Frrnce of one of her. most precious defenders.’ ‘* ‘General,’ replied De Lareinty, ‘Iam glad that two soldiers are spared to the country.’ Then they exchanged « few courteous words, and, accompanied by their seconds, regained their carriages.

They opened it . 4@%c lower, but were then brought up witha sad- den jerk that stopped their selling very quickly. The other markets ad - vanced from their opening, later private cables came in firm and noted more of 4 disposition to buy and the strength shown by corn helped prices, too.

Harker & Pritchard’s Merchants’ Exchange Price Cur- rent says: ‘*Thsre was a better feeling mani- fest in the market during the past week, though prices were unchanged, excepting on tub-washed, which was a shade firmer toward the last. Medium and coarser grades are strongest, while fine and Territory stock is somewhat neglected. Advices trom Enu- rope continue reassuring, and the fear offurther importations, in consequence fof the bigh prices in this country is gradually frowing 6ss. Australian wool has been sold n London since the close of the late sale at an advance of about 2c per pound, and prices at Antwerp, where another auction sale is in progress, are 25 per cent higher than iast May, at which time a gain of 25 per cent onthe pre- ceding sale was realized. This was the origin of the late boom on wool in this country. The lull of the past ten days was caused by a dispo- sition on the part of manufacturers to await opening sales of the new goods. They claim that on many kinds they are unable to secure any advance over Iast year’s rices. thongh on yarns, flunnels and some other ar- ticles, an increase of from 15 to 25 per cent has been freely granted. As many of the goods sold at last feet Fs heya were mude out of cheap wool, 2 ar air margin of profit, however, was doubtiess realized. Present values on wool are still nearly 5 per cent above the high- est point reached last year.

W. D. Wyuis of Dallas, President of the Texas Division of the Grand Army of the Republic. This episode will prove a prolitic source of nightmare for the mag- netic “old ticket.” a Service ‘N+: liz National Civil Reform League has just held its annugl mecting at Newport. G.W. Curris, in addressing the League, declared that reform still lives and that CLEVELAND is the greatest of reformers. The Surveyor of St. Louis bas not been heard from on the subject. Tom ReeEpb,the elephantine funny man of the House of Representatives, forgets his shining mission of acrobatic buffeonery when he solemnly arraigns the Democratic purty for its errors: and shortcomings. His business is to revamp silurian jokes till Sunset Cox returns to his old place in the House. The shoemaker shouid stick to his last, and Mr, REEpD should cleave unto his venerated jests. ——— 000 Tne last Republican House under Speaker KEIFER was longer in session than the present House, and the day before it adjourned Senator PLUMB of the Repub- lican State of Kansas declared that “the House had trifled deliberately with every interest of the country.” For the failures and short-comings of the present House a minority of the Democratic members and a majority of the Republicans are respon- sible. ee ee A NATION is not always strengthened and benefited by the acquisition of re- mote dependencies, and the unsettled siate of affairs in Burmah makes it prob- able that the British have madea doubt- ful bargain in acquiring that far-away country. The cost of a perpetual and ex- pensive military occupation is a grave off- set aguinst the advantages that may ac- crue in the shape of increased trade and imperial prestige. ——_——_ > —=) AN astern editor, with an experimental turn of mind, thinks that Mr. R. B. Hayes and Editor CMARLES DaNa should be noim- inated on the same Presidential ticket. Such a programme would doubtless effect a reconciliation between these two amia- ble gentlemen, now unhappily estranged. Such a pieasing blending of rural and urban elements in one ticket would make a combination remarkable for its idyllic nud poctic quality. ovepniganinitielippiaatnilisinitieiliadatiaes THE only thing that could lessen the popularity of the French Minister of War was the unfortunate discovery that he had written some letters that might have been alternate or second choice. A Western man with Eastern principles is the beau ideal of Republican candidates, but isa very scarce article. The stock is nearly exhausted and what is left of it is in a worn out and damaged condition. OUR TROUBLESOME NEIGHBOR, In the budget of news from Mexico in the morning papers is given the opinion of ‘‘a well-informed gentleman,” who says ‘‘no prejudice exists here against the peo- ‘‘ple of the United States which has not ‘‘been caused by the indiscreet action of ‘¢americans while here or by superficial ‘¢American criticism of Mexican customs ‘sand institutions.’? This is the true Mex- ican sentiment, and it means that Ameri- cans in Mexico are not free to express their opinions. This is the plain and unpleasant truth. The Mexi- cans do not understand what freedom of opinion means. They tolerate neither freedom of thought, nor freedom of speech, nor freedom of religion, nor freedom of the press. They are conscious that their ‘‘customs and institutions” will not bear criticism, and they resent any criticism, even that which is prompted by the most friendly spirit. They are con- scious that they have failed in nearly everything in which real nations have succeeded, and this consciousness makes them all the more sensitive. What are we going to do with such neighbors? Wedo not want any Mexican territory, and above all, we do not want any new citizens of Mexican birth. Any American who will stgp to think of it will admit that the more Mexican territory we annex the poorer we should be; but what are wetodo? Therightof American citizens to trayelin Mexico must be re- spected as thoroughly as the right of Mexicans to travel in this country. Our right to criticise their customs and insti- tutious, even when we do it superficially, is a part of that natural liberty which must be respected. They may feel prejudices as deeply as_ they wish, but when that prejudice takes the shape of giving American citizens the ‘‘buit end of the law,” as interpreted by their courts, we cannot stand it. The natural and rapidly increasing intercourse between the two countries will go on. The Cutting affair is only a single incident, but the situation is certain to produce numer- ous similar incidents and the consequences are inevitable. Weshould be very sorry to have the Mexicans compelled to “take the consequences,” but that they will be compelled to do unless they consent to learn a great many unpleasant truths of which they are now painfully ignorant. Ome RATLROAD REFORM. There are visible here and there a few signs of an impending revolution in the principles and methods of railway man- agement. Railway stockholders and holders of railway securities as well as the general public are demanding a change protecting all concerned from the vices of the old system under which man- aging and wrecking rings have made such immense fortunes — for themselves by robbing stockholders, in- vestors and the commerce of the country. One of the changes now under considera- tion in railroad circles proposes a return to ideas that prevailed, but were not fairly tested perhaps, at the beginning of rail- road development. The early railroad legislation of Pennsylvania aimed to muke the roads toll roads, operated as the canals were, as highways open toany com- mon carrier or his conveyance under proper regulations. This is the policy proposed by Mr. JaAMes [. Hupson in his book on ‘‘The Railways and the Republic,” and President LirrLie of the Jersey Central says his company proposes to throw open its road toany one who desires to use it, upon the payment ofa fair toll fixed for the benetit of all without discrimination for or against any. Inareportto the stock- holders of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company in 1882, President RoBERTs sug- gested the adoption of the same policy as to other railroads, and said: It is believed that the advantages to be ob- tained by the commercial interests of the country and by your company from the adop- tion of this broad principle in the management oft your railways will more than compensate for any loss that may occur through the diver- sion of traffic that might be controlled bya more exciusive policy. But besides other practical obstacles to the inauguration of the toll-road method advantageously cremated.

The employmentof female cashiers has been frequently suggested as a preventive of embezzlement, and itis the truth that there is hardly an instance of a woman betraying a pecuniary trust. iow then are we to understand the almost universal dishonesty of women in their dealings with the Goyernment? Last March the steamer Oregon sank off Fire Island with an immense amount of mail matter on board. Sixty-five sacks of this | matter were recently received at Wash- ington in an undeliverable condition, and an examination by the authorities re- vealed a startling amount of attempted swindling. Many of the packages of in- nocent looking mail matter contained dutiable goods, chiefly laces and kid gloves, sent over in this way to cheat the Government. | This form of dishonesty is almost uni- versal, and it is inexplicable. Women cept R. B. Hayzs with Joun SHERMAN for \ who @re rich enough to travel in Burope are rich enough to pay the duties on these small consignments. Women who are rich enough to wear laces and kid gloves are rich enough to pay for them. Why should they descend from their high es- tate to the low level of petty swindlers, and on so smalla scale? Perhaps some of the leaders in the movement for female equality may give some explanation of the anomaly. Perhaps the mystery is only partof the more general mystery which surrounds the ways of woman and defies the clumsy speculations of man. —— TuE Trunk Line Executive Committee have made some concessions to the dry goods men withreference to rateson West- bound freight, but itis probable that the discriminations against dry goods are still unreasonable. Duringthe war when such goods commanded much higher prices in greenbacks, the rates were fixed at very high figures on the principle of ex- torting ‘‘all the traffic would bear,”’ and on the same principle the discrimina- tion has been maintained both by classifi- cation and rates, when there is no justice in itand when it amounts to an excessive and arbitrary tax on Western con- sumers of the goods discriminated heainst. If the Eastern manufacturers and importers really desire to protect their customers, why do they not seek from the United States Courts some such decisions as they hawe rendered in nu- merous other cases of unfair discrimina- tions? The common law principles apply as well to unreasonable discriminations between articles or kinds of goods as to unreasonable discriminations between in- dividual shippers. — r _ | _ wo Tue delegates from the British colonies have been formally received at the Co- lonial Office in London. The sending of these delegates is a movement in behalf of the nascent scheme of imperial feder- ation. It is almost universally recog- nized throughout the British dominions that the time is approaching when a change must be made in the relations subsisting between England and her Cau- casian colonies, especially Canada and Australia. The growth of the colonies calls for material readjustment in order to perpetuate the connection. There is a large and growing element in the colonies that is content with the present tendency towards separation and independence, while the home Govern- ment, backed by astrong colonial senti- ment, hopes to forma closer union be- tween the colonies and the mother coun- try. The most popular plan is to reor- ganize the empire on a basis of imperial federation that will give the outlying de- pendencies a voice in the general Govern- ment. Ir cannot be successfully contended that the President assumes the legislative function when he vetoes a bill and gives his reasons. [Even if he appends an argu- mentative statement in withholding his signature from a bill, it is absurd to charge him with usurping legislative power. The statement that he defeats the will of the majority, can be used with equal force as an argument against the existence of the veto power, and hence, is unworthy of consideration. Whenever a President vetoes a bill he certainly de- feats the willof a majority of Congress- men; though, in doing so, he often sus- tains the will of a majority of the people, as was illustratedin theinstance of nearly + all of CLEVELAND’S vetoes. _ —_— ma — | — wd a Tue Collector of the Port announces that he will, in open contempt of the Presi- dent’s July letter, remain a member of the Democratic State Committee and still hold the dark lantern aloft from the best Federal office in the State as a beacon light to the city gangs who pack primaries and manipulate nominations. He is clearly of opinion that he knows what he was put there for, and that it is as easy to nullify @ President’s command as an office-holder’s bond. _ i, —eeEe SS ae — Tur Americans in Mexico are in favor of “peace at any price.’’ The honor of their nation is a small consideration to them compared with the profits of their trade, and in the readiness with which they assume that in any quarrel -which hurts trade their country is inthe wrong and Mexico in the right, we detect a faint echo of that old spirit of truckling to slavery which was one of the painful features of society in the Northern States in ante-bellum days. — -» — | i —_ vw — —_—— Tur fact that a notoriously unfit man has been made Surveyor of St. Louis does not make the same person worthy to be retained on the Democratic State Central Committee.

The divine Sarah first interfered to prevent Noirmont from taking a trunk away from the theater, calling her a thief, as the latter claims. Noirmont resented the charge with a blow, when a fisticuff encounter took place, in which various members of the company took part. The same night, during the play, and between the third and fourth acts, Sarah drew a whip from her dress and gave Noirmont several bluws across the face and shoulders, her leading man assisting. Noirmont complained to the police official present, but he dismissed the matter on the grounds that Sarah was not caught in the act (flagrante). The following day (the 24th) Noirmont went to police headquarters with her complaint, where a process was procured forthe great star. In the afternoon of the same day, as the son and the secretary of the latter Were passing the Polytechnic, they met the offending subordinate in the street, and at once proceeded to give her a piece of their minds also. Noirmont resented their insults and tried to break their gXulls with her para- sol, but succeeded only fh having it taken away from her and thrown over the fence. Logan’s English. Judge Thurman in an Interview, Do you remember the story told of an jl- literate member of Congress who once cor- rected the graiamar of John Quincy Adams? And yet Mr. Adams was aprofessor of rhetoric at Harvard College. The incident pleased Mr. Adams very much, but it only goes to show that the best of us are sometimes liable to slip in our grammar. Indeed, gramma- rians themselves often dispute as to what is proper grammar. Napoleon Bonaparte knew nothing of grammar, and his orthog- raphy was wretched. Gen. Washington, although he usually made very good English, occasionally made a mistake, and he was not always sure of his spelling. To be ableto write grammatically is not the only sign of greatness, and Gen. Logan’s opponents should bring some more serious charge against him if they wish to weaken his Presidential chances. The vast majority of the human family neither write nor speak according to the rules of Lindley Murray. A public speaker often makcs slips in grammar that he would not makeifengaged in ordinary conversa- tion. A New and Wiser Policy. From the Naw York WORLD. Speaker Carlisle thinks there is little doubt that the Democrats will carry the next House. But he expresses the belief that the tariff will be the principal question in the Congressional canvass. In this we think heisinerror. The issue the people are most deeply interested in at thistime is the contest between corporate encroachments and the Government authority, and they recognize the fact that the accession of the Democratic party to power has already workedsome good in that direction. Mr. Carlisle’s position thate thorough investiga- tion of the acts of ‘‘doubtful propriety and legality’’ done by the subsidized Pacific rail- roads, as a preliminary to legislation looking to the protection of the Government interests as well as to the good of the roads, is sound, and is one of the indications ofthe inaugura- tion of anew and wiser policy in the treatment of such questions. Mr. Tilden. From the New York WORLD. Mr. Tilden was a thoroughly equipped statesman. He wasfamiliar with all questions of international law, adroit in politics, con- summate in partisan ability, sagacious in financial management and possessed of won- derful administrative capacity. But above all he was an honest, upright man, who, while fully recognizing his obligations to party, would at all times conform them to his public duty tothe country. Many people made the mistake of supposing him over-cautious. But he was essentially audacious in reform and bold and resolute in his war on wrongdoing within and without his party. He indulged in no platitndes, but he took firm hold of the purification of the public service and carried bis views into practical effect. Yet he was al- ways calm, unimpassioned and judicial in his fairness and justice, and inthe hot arena of politics he never lost his coolness and seit- control. Mrs. Cleveland and the Policeman, From the Washington Critic. The policeman at the door of the church of- fered Mrs. Cleveland an umbrella, under which she might safely reach her carriage through the rain. The average woman, under the circumstances, would have accepted the umbrella with a grateful “thank you,’’ and car- ried it over herself to the carriage; but Mrs. Cleveland isn’tan averagé woman. Instead of merely accepting the umbrella, she ac- cepted the true and gallant blue coat as well, took hisarm as if he had been a Minister Plenipotentiary and Envoy Extraordinary, and went with him to her carriage. Of course the policeman to-day is in a state of delirious complimentedness which totally unfits him or duty, but he will recover with carful nurs- ing. The Kid and the Apple. From the Washington Critic. A little green apple hung up in a tree, Singing ‘‘Johnnie, come Johnnie, Johnnie!’’ And it was as modest as modest could be, Singing ‘‘Johnnie, come Johnnie, come come Johnnie!’’ And Johnnie he came, in his sweet childish way, And ate up that fruit as his own lawful prey— The angels in heaven are singing to-day ‘*Here’s Johnnie!

But, at any rate, thereis certainly no neces- blossoming error abSut the physical substan- tiality and genuineness of their adored Dul- cineas. Justice to the South. From the Boston Herald. The Washington correspondentof the WORLD attributes the friendly feeling towards the President at the South to ‘‘the admiration which only comes from statesmen who have been weil treated’’—meaning in the distribu- tion of patronage. Thisis not just, either to the President or to the Southern Democrats. There has been less clamor for office at the South than at the North, and the recently pub- lished statistics of changes in postmasters showed that relatively fewer removals had been made in the former than in the latter seo- tion. A Critical Time. From the Detroit Free Press. ‘*Ma can’t see you,’’ said a Cass avenue girl of 10 as a peddler ascended the front steps. .f*Is she at home?’’ **Yes, sir; but she’s very busy.’’ ‘*Will you ask her to step to the door?’’ ‘‘No, sir. She’s up-stairs trying on her bathing suit before the big mirror. When she gets iton she’s going to pose. If she looks statuesque, we’re goingto the seashore. If she just seems to be common, we’re going out inthe country to Uncle William’s. Please go away and don’t disturb the poses.’’ The Widow of David Davis. From the Washington Critic. The will of the late David Davis does not literally cut off his wife with ashilling, but as she has no dower interest in the property, and is only left $2,500 and the household furniture, Mrs. Davis will scarcely enter the ranks of wealthy widowhood. All the more to her cre- dit. The ante-nuptial contract as to her dowry rights is evidence enough that she didn’t marry the Judge for his money. Gould and Blaine, From the Philadelphia Times. The assertion that Jay Gould’s recent visit to the shinings sands of Bar Harbor was un- dertaken for the purpose of inducing Mr. Blaine to run for president is ridiculous. No power on earth could induce Mr. Blaine to change his present intention notto be a candi- date, at least until the delegates are ripe. MEN OF MARK.

To give an idea of the money that is in peppermint, Mr. Hotchkiss said that a farmer last year brought to the refinery an ordinary sleigh load, which, when measured, proved to be worth $4,000.

Apparently the President evinces a preference for doing things in his own way which will strike the average observer in this case as not altogether respect. ful to the representatives of the people. ’’ THE SUN. The Sun says: ‘‘Already the Treasury stored away inthis manner nearly a hundred millions of them, besides those ayainst which it has issued certificates, and the quantity coves on increasing daily. Forthe sake, therefore, of gracitying the owners of national bank stv, and of winning the favor of devotees to tre old standard, the President has set himseit n opposition to a majority of the peopls, speaking by the mouth ofCongress. Whether or not he will continue to persist in this course, remains to be seen.’’ THE TRIBUNE. . The Tribune says: ‘‘The little time Congress has devoted to the consideration of grave rs questions has been mainly occupied in istening to the clamorous demands of repudi- ators or inflationists, and the strongest effort made by the House without success in behalf of any measure was to secure the debasement of the national currency to asilver standard.’’ THE TIMES. The Times says: ‘‘President Cleveland's caim determination not to be hurried in the consideration of acts of Oongress submitted to him, and not to go to the Capito! to join in a final rush of clos- ing business has produced what may be regarded as agenuine reform in the manner of closing up a session. There was no hurry or scramble, but a quiet finishing up of such business as wasin a position to be finished up and an orderly adjournment with every- thing in complete shape. It shows that a fai!- ure to fix a time of adjournment far in ad- vance is rather a good thing, and that the rule that all measures not signed before the ses- sion ends must fail to be made to work very favorably. Nothing becomes this session so well as its end.’’ THE PEOPLE’S FORUM. George Washington in Halifax. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: I notice in last night’s issue of the Posr- nis.

H., August 7.—A gentleman of this city isthe discoverer of & painting, the original by Rubens. The picture represents the ‘‘visit of Reubens to the cell of a monk,’’ two heads and figures being the chief features of the work. The face and figure of the ar- tist are in profile and in shade, while the view of the monk is in full face, and upon him falls the full effects of sunlight through the window of the cell. The monk holds a drinking flask and goblet, and is apparently about to offer refreshment to his guest. The two heads are quite distinct, butthe other parts of the work are dim and the surface is scratched. At first glance no frame or date can be seen, butaclose Inspection shows in black paint atthe bottom of the canvas the words, slightly raised,j‘‘Pinxit, 1621, Rubens, Ant.’’ The painting was bought about fifteen years ago in Brussels.

She Details the Story of Her Fifteen Years of Suffering in this Country—A Very Peculiar Sequel. ‘‘For fifteen years,’’ said Mrs. Gollenberg to the writer, ‘‘I had been in trouble.’’ ‘*Fifteen years?’’ **Ves. ,? ‘*That was a long time.’’ ‘*Yes, and the yearsseem longer when they are not spent happily.’’ ‘*‘What was the trouble?’’ ‘‘Well, during these years I had frequent and protracted headaches. I wasaterrible sufferer fromthem. They were so intense and pain- ful that I could not sleep at nights, but would go to bed and lay awake and sufferand wish for the morning to come. I had frequent pains in my stomach, my tongue was coated and my mouth would have a bad taste. My breath was bad. Over my eyes there wasa dull, heavy pain, and I could feel continually a dropping of mucus in the back of my throat I was raising all the time. DURING THIS PERIOD of fifteen years I had tried all sorts of remedies and various doctors, butI had made no per- manent improvement. I was all the time, I think, growing weaker, andthe dull feeling of languor and wretchedness was becoming more and more oppressive. ‘‘Well, about three months agol went to Dr. McCoy’s office. The doctor told me thatI had catarrh and stomach dyspepsia. and that the stomach trouble had probably had its ori- gin in catarrh. Iwent under his treatment and began to get better at once. For six weeks I have not hada sign of headache and lam NO LONGER TROUBLED with any pain in my stomach. I feel strong and vigorous and hearty. My appetite has re- turned to me and] seem as well as I ever have en. Mrs. Gollenberg is the wife of a well-known German citizen connected with the 8t. Louls Water-works. Her story, given above, is re- produced substantially as she tells it, and can easily be verified by calling on or addressing her at her residence, 5118 McKissock avenue.

Annie Mahony and Mollie Davitt charged with disturbing the peace by fighting in Myer’s tenement house, 1015 North Seventh street, were up before Justice White this morning where each was fined costs. Frank Wilmus, who lives on Biddle street between Seventh and Eighth streets, abused and kicked his wife while drunk. Wilmus claimed his wife fol- lowed him to his place of work and called him names before his fellow- workmen and humili- ated him by so doing. She followed him home and kept up the racket at the house which so pce him that he kicked her and knocked her down. He was fined $10 and costs. Lizzie Ferguson pleaded guilty to beipg drunk and was promptly fined $10 and costs; Bridget Myles pleaded guilty to the same charge and was fined alike amount. Mattio Meccavatto, an Italian banana’peddler. was arrested by Officer Conners for obstructing the crossing on Broadway and Washington avenue with his cart. He was fined $10 andcosts. Mary Hardy and Nellie Zanone were fighting at Third an Carr streets. Emma Dreyer acted as peace- raaker, and the officer happened along and ar- rested all three of them. Emma was discharged and the other two were fined $5 and costs. Elizabeth Johnson was charged with keeping a disreputable house in a_ respectable neighborhood at 4112 North Twelfth street. Two neighbors, Mrs. Lindeman and Mrs. Hensen, acted the part of detectives and told of divers and sundry occurrences which they saw, but they failed to make the case stick and the defendants were discharged. Mourning Reception Rooms. Undertaker Whitsett has just completed fur- nishing of a handsome room for the holding of funerals at his place of business opposite Exposition. Itis also intended for the recep- tion and proper care of bodies of persons dy- ing in hotels, boarding-houses, on board steamers or cars, on the streets, and the recep- tion of bodies shipped into the city, etc., etc. There is no such suitable place in the city, the City Morgue not purporting to supply such want. This room is 20x28 feet, nicely carpeted, has several dozen tasty folding chairs, and its use is free from any charge to those so unfortunate as to need its accommodations. POSSIBLE REMOVAL. —_——— ae Rumora Large Manufactory Closing—North St. Louis Items. Deteetive Wm. Browning has returned trom his vacation and now after nearly a year’s iliness of pneumonia he returns to duty. There is every prospect now that. the Chambers Street Colored Baptist Church con- grezgation will soon have a newedifice. Al- though not quite so large as the present one, the question of a new building is being dis- cussed and the building committee is actively at work in the matter, Mr. Franz Krien, President of the Nixdorf- Krien Manufacturing Company, Ninth and Howard street, is now absent. at Evansville. It is rumored that one, if notthe chief object of his visit to that city, is to change the com- pany’s extensive works from North 8t. Louis to that point. While one of the officers of the company denied toa Post-DISPATCH reporter this morning that any stepof the character was contemplated, yet he men- tioned in the same connection that the heavy taxes here were a burden and that they might possibly have to look for other quarters. The removal from North St. Louis of such a large institution would bea serious blow to the in- dustrial classes. Their works occupy nearly a biock and they give employment to nearly 200 menin the manufacture of chains, bolts and other iron goods.

Bonanza in George Williams, the man arrested on sus- picion by Officer Pete Monrotus the other day, is panning out quite well, asthe police would express it. Yesterday a boy named Herman sollinger, living on Chouteau avenue, identi- fied a suit of clothing found on Williams as an outiit stolen from him by some sneak-thief Wednesday. It was noticed that a pair of cuff- buttons and a ring found on the thief answered the description of some jew- elry stolen from EK. W Farrell,. who hus charge of William H. Barnett’s residence on Twenty-second street and Lucas place during the absence of Mr. Barnett’s family. Special Officer’Frese called to see Mr. Farrell this morning and the latter identified the jewelry found on Williams and aiso the shirt which the crook was wearing as articles stolen from his house. Wednesday night by some sneak thief. Harry Newbold, the police photographer, took a picture of Williams for the rogues’ gallary this morning, and a very hard face the young man has, too. A warrant for burglary and larceny was taken out this morning against him for the Farrell robbery, andthe police believe he has been doing a great deal of the sneak thief work that has been going on in the city recently. — ee ee CAUSED A COMMOTION. Rumors that the Late Hubert 0O. son Committed Suicide. NEw YORK, August 7.—The report that Hu- bert O. Thompson had committed suicide causes considerable commotion among politi- Thomp.- - cians of all classes, and his friends and rela- tives are much incensed about it. Where the rumor started is unknown. Mr. Thompson’s closest friends regard the story as absurd, but believe that if any doubt exists as to the cause of death it would be advisable to have the body disinterred and an autopsy made. ANOTHER INDECENT CRANK. A Tramp Follows the Example of His Betters. The indecent exposure epidemic atiil keeps up. This morning Henry Prenz, a tramp, was up before Judge Cady charged with the offense mentioned. The policeman who ar- rested him stated that about 1o’clock yester- dav afternoon he found Prenzin avacant lot on Ohouteau avenue and the Levee ex osing himself and motioning toa couple of little giris to approach him. udge Cady fined Preng $100, which will keep him atthe Work-house six months.

OBSEQUIES OF SAMUEL J. TILDEN AT GRAY- STONE THIS MORNING. A Rainy and Drizzly Day—Large Attendance of Distinguished Statesmen — President Cleveland and Secretary Endicott Present ~The sServices—The Remains Taken to Lebanon. Yonkers, N. Y., August 7.—The sorrow that has shrouded this city for three days reached its climax to-day. The grief of great respect was marked on every hand. The public build- ings were closed and badges of mourning were displayed on house fronts. Veneration forthe dead was visible on the faces of citizens and the very alr seemed laden with sadness that imbued all. The elements contributed to the general gloom. Damp and heavy clouds hung low and obsqured the sun, and a cheeriless easterly wind blew over the magnificent grounds of Graystone. The early trains poured hundreds of notable citizens into the town, and all bent their way in one direction to pay the last honors to one who had been high among them. Residents joined in the pilgrimage, and the host of mourners that found its way to Graystone filled to overfiow- ing the ample mansion of the late statesman. Long before the funeral services began, the casket that was tocontain Mr. Tilden’s body reached the house this morning. It came from Oneida, N. Y., where it was made by the firm of Chappell,, Chase & Maxwell. The casket is made in two parts; the interior is of copper with a glass door ofits entire length. The interior is decorated with white tufted satin. The outer part is of red Spanish cedar and is plainly ornamented with oxydized silver. The plate is of that material and bears simply the name ‘‘Samuel J. Tilden’’ in script. Undertaker Rigby had it carried into the house about 8 o’clock and taken tothe room onthe south side of the second floor, where the body was lving., There the reinains were placed in the casket and brought down to the biue room on the first floor. This was not’ accomplished until 8:30 o’clock, and it was not until this hour that THE GENERAL PUBLIO. were first admitted to the mansion. The re- mains were placed on a catafalque placed in the center of the blue room. The drapery on the catafalque was black crepe and cashmere. In reality it was a blue room no longer. Even to the curtains on the doors and windows the coloring was black. Meantime, the friends of he family began to arrive. The first train any number was the 6 people came Dy the score. Among the first to arrive at the house were Gen. Alexander Hamilton, Charles A. Dana, Daniel Mangan, ex-Senator William H. Barnum, Samuel J. Randall, Treasurer Jordan, ex-Coliector Murphy, and ex-Assemblyman Morrow. Mr. Andrew Green received all and ushered them into the parior. When the people generally were admitted to view the remains they en- tered the east door, passed through the first parlor on the right to the blue-room, and thence through the hall tothe west orrear 7:15. From that timet entrance. The body was seen to be dressed in full dres suits, with a white pink in the button-hoie, & white tie sur- rounded astanding collar. The right hand was crossed over the breast andthe head lay partly on the rightside. The features, whiie showing some emaciation, did not suggest that the dead had undergone any extended or considerable physical suffering. Some of those who passed on the long line to takea last look at the remains were Surveyor Beattie, Algernon 8. Sullivan, Gen. Lefevre of Ohio; Congressman Stahinecker, Congressman of this district; E. O. Perrin, Clerk of the Court of Appeals: Park Commissioner John D. Crim- mons, John D. Traphagen, John Bigelow, Smith M. Weed, Dr. Geo. L. Miller of the Omaha Herald; William Allen Butler, Dr. Chas. E. Simmons and Col. John R. Fellows. THE FLOWERS ON THE COFFIN were composed of but live collections. A bouquet of calla lilies and white roses lay near the head of the casket, and at the foot was placed asheaf of palm under smilax and victoria regina. All the flowers came from Mr. Tilden’s hot-houses. The last named was from aplant of which there are but three in America. By 9 o’ciock several hundred per- sons, men and women, white and black, Christian and Jewish, rich and poor, had viewed the remains. THE PALL-BEARERS, The revised list of pall-bearers was: Samuel J. Randall, John Bigelow, Daniel Manning, Smith M. Weed, Charles A. Dana, Dr. George L. Miller, Wm. Allen Butier, Daniel Mangan, James Trenor, Dr. Charles E. Simmons and Aaron J. Vanderpool. Thefirst formal dele- gation to arrive was from the Jeffersonian Club of Newark, N. J. Soon after them Mayor Bell of Yonkers, and the Yonkers Aldermen passed throvgh, andthen the ten servants— five men and five women—paid their last tribute. The women, without exception, shed tears as they gazed for the last time upon their mas- ter At 9:40 President Cleveland reached the mansion. He was accompanied by Secretary of War Endicott.and Private Sec- retary Lamont. Mr. Geo. W. Smith, Mr. Til- den’s private secretary, took the President’s arm and found a placein theline of citizens. Secretary Endicott followed with Mr. Lamont. On reaching the head of the bier the President stopped a moment or two, took an earnest look atthe face and passed into the hall and was escorted among the family, upstairs. Sov also were Mr. Endicott aud Mr. Lamont. THE SERVICES. Ten minutes later the pall-bearers de- scended the broad stair-case into the centre of the house, that leads directly to the room where the remains were. Secretary Manning, leaning upon the arm of Mr. Jobn Bigelow, led the bearers. Mr. Manning seemed rather feeble, his steps being by no means sure. As he came down the stairs, Mr. Bigelow’s assist- ance was not pe mre! A The delega- odi tions from the various es followed the pali-bearers and took seats in the biue room and adjoining parlors. The Bar Association, headed by Hon. Wm. M. Evarts, the New York Board of Aldermen, Tammany Hall, Irving Hall, the County Democracy and others. President Cleveland entered the room with Secretary Endicott, Secretary Whitney and Mr. Lamont. Following next came tne members of the family, Mr. Tilden’s nephews and nieces, Gov. Hill arrived just as the ceremonies were beginning. He was sented next to Mayor Grace. The hun- dreds of people collected in the hall in either side of the black drapery that hung in front of the blue room, blocking up the en- tire passage and extending out on to the porches and grounds in front and to the rear of the house. Then the Rey. Dr. William J. Tucker, who had come on from Andover, Mass., to perform the ceremonies, read the funeral prayer of the Presbyterian Church. The choir of the Madison Avenue lata peo Church, which had taken up position at the foot of the main staircase, sang ‘‘Abide with Me.’’ Rev. Dr. Tucker next delivered a short ad- dress on the personal qualities of the de- ceased. Thereverend gentleman spoke with great feeling that several times evinced itself in choking utterances. He said he would not undertake to speak of Mr. Tilden’s public life and great public qualities. The press had done that with judgment and amplitude; but he could not help thinking of and referring to Mr. Tilden’s generous hospitality; none who had ever partaken of it would fail to appre- ciate it. Dr. Tucker continued: ‘‘A friend wrote to me not long ago, referring to the death of an eminent physician, that nothing was so plain in an attempt to give the meaning of death as that we suddenly fall to communicate with those who have been allinallto us. Death is the withdrawal ot affection and love inthe time that we need it, and is an irreparable waste. A great mind cannot be replaced; what the mind grasped, the books from which itlearned, and the facts embraced will re- main, but the process of reasoning, the power to foresee and a eee is gone. It is like the destruction of a fine library or the loss of a precious jewel. Fewmen have been of such reatness of mind in this generation as our eceased brother. Whether he considered men or plans, he was always wise, savacious and honorable, whom ali love listen to and to honor a a fine constructiveness of t mind. A great light has gone out. T at is the meaning of death, something is wasted. to his simple faith this Seater tines are Bg cenay Bang ow - pie, broad, clear believer in our faith. In tha aith we surrender our death.

TO THE FUNERAL TRAIN. As the casket was borne through the marble floored hall the choir sang ‘‘Rock of Ages.’’ Eight of Mr. Tilden’s employes carried the body; amongthem were the captain of the yacht Viking, the gardener, the vaiet and the coachnman of the dead statesman. The President and his Secretary, Gov. Hill, Mayor Gruce and the delegations followed to the carriages, but none of them boarded the funeral train. Along the three-mile route to Yonkers the sides of the road were alive with people. Just as the cor- tege start*d trom the house a brisk rain set in, but this did not drive the spectators from the paths; many sought shelter under the trees and awnings, some raised umbrellas and some remained uncovered. When the hearse passed between the crowd hats were raised, and other signs of respect were continuously shown When the depot was reuched the members of the tamily, the Misses Tilden, Miss Gould, the Messrs. Tilden and Mr. Charles MacLeon with their intimate friends, Rev. Dr. Tucker and several or the delegates entered the cars. The train left Yonkers at 11:15 and three min- utes behind time.

EXCITEMENT AT CUMMINGS, ILL., OVER THE NAILERS’ STRIKE AT FEVER HEAT. The Calumet Decides Not to Temporize With the Strikers Any Longer—New Employes Tired of Being Terrorized—New York Cigar Manufacturers in a Serious Pre- dicament—The McCormick Trouble to Be Settled. CHICAGO, August 7.—The excitement at Cummings over the labor troubles is again at fever-heat, and trouble is feared. Recently the assaults on non-union nailers have been renewed and some arrests have been made. Wednesday, Thomas O’Keefe was arrested onacharge of having committed an assault on an old man named Thompson. The South Chicago police took himto the Hyde Park Statfon where he was held until the next day, when aconstable served a State warrant on Capt. Hunt for the possession of the prisoner. This warrant was sworn out by the Calumet Iron and Steel Company. The, man was thereupon com- mitted to the county jail under bonds of $2,700. Meanwhiie the prisoner's uncle, Dan O’ Keefe, a saloon-keeper, at Cum- mings, went to Hyde Park to see his nephew. Not finding him, he returned to South Chi- cagoand caused the issuing of warrants for the arrest of Capt. Hunt, Sergt. Jenkins and a yatrolman, on the novel charge of kidnap- ng. They were arrested, but soon released on bail. The attorney for the Calumet Company ex- plains the issuing of the State warrant by say- ing that the company bas concluded not to temporize with the strikers any longer. They intend to vigorously prosecute every ease of this kind which comes up, and will push the matter as far as possible in order to bring about asettlement of the diffi- cuities. One-half of the inhabitants of OCum- mings are said to live in mortal fear while the other balf live in rage. ‘‘Itisnow fourteen months,’’ saida Hyde Park man, ‘‘since the Cummings labor troubles began. For the first eight months the steel company wastrying to induce the men to go back to work, offering all of them their old jobs at satisfactory prices. On two or three oc- casions the mill ran a few days and then shut down again. Inthe spring, losing all hope of bringing about a settlement, the company be- gan to dll the places of the union nailers with non-union men. Ever since there has been war. The aggressors were the striking nailers and their sympathizers. The new men have been waylaid one by one in solitary places und Deaten, some otthem very seriously and with the evident intent of murder. Every lit- tie urchin in the town has jeered at the new- comers, with many insulting epithets. Early in the spring the men who were known to have in- terfered with the workmen and caused trouble, were enjoined by Judge Shepard to keep the peace. That action seems to have ac- complished but little good. The wives and children of the men then took up the war, and confederates of the strikers have laid in wait for victims: Foralong time the strikers had the sympathy of merchants, business men and public and the police were very lenient with them, but the sentiment has been turned againstthem py their violations of the law and unreasonable demands. The company offered these idle men their posi- tions repeatedly, but they would not accept unless the superintendent was discharged because he was a non-Union man. Until within ashort time matters have been compar- atively quiet, but the resumption of the at- tacks has aroused the new men in the mill to a pitch of desperation. They have announced thut they will put an end to such actions. One of the new workmen said that they could not stand the treatment they had been receivin much longer and had only been prevente from resenting it before by the advice of the manager. They propose now to walk the streets of the town in freedoin, if they have to fightforit. Hesaidthe majority of the men had armed themselves and would resist further attacks with coid lead. Cigar-Makers’ Troubles. New YoOr«K, August 7.—The cigar manufac- turers are growing restless. Many of them have large orders to fill, and are in a quandery as to how tofillthem. Mr. Oppenheim of the firm of Levy Bros. says that his firm has or- ders for 3,000,000 cigars, and on three-foprths of these orders he must have the Knights of Labor label. With his present force it would take several years to fill the orders, and there is such a scarcity of Knights of Labor cigar- makers that the force does not grow. If they take back the Progressives, who are on a_ strike, they will be in as bad a fix as they can’t then get the Knights of Labor label. The situation is the same with the other manufacturers, and it was summa- rized by Mr. Oppenheim as follows: ‘‘If we have our cigars manufactured by the Progressive Union we can’t get the Knights of Labor label and can’t sellthem. If wedon’t bave them made by the Progressive we can't bave them made at ail for the present. I don’t knowwhat we shalldo.’’ The manufacturers will have another conference with the Knights of Labor and will then decide how much more time will be given to the Knights in which to fill the shops. The genera! incli- nation isto allow them two weeks’ more. It is hoped that by that time the strikers will bave been starved into submission and will go back to work. It will require about $30,0Wa week to keepthem out. The strikers are de- termined to hold out. The pickets report that in allthe fourteen shops of the associa- tion only 131 men are now at work and there seems to be no immediate prospects of getting any work. The McCormick Trouble. CurcaGco, August 7.—A morning paper says that the report of Mr. A. A. Carleton to the Executive Board of the Knights of Labor, in regard to the McCormick troubles, will be favorable to the harvester company. It is said that the principal point developed by the examination isthata great majority of those who struck at McOormick’s factory are not now and never have been Knights, and that matters have hitherto, in many ways, been misrepresented to the Executive Board. Gen- eral Foreman Richard Griffiths of she Knights said that he had had several conferences with Mr. Carleton since his arrival here, and was cognizant of all that had been done. The in- vestigation showed a different state of affairs than that which has been generally supposed. The report would be sent to headquarters carly next week, and the Executive Board will at once take action thereon. He was satisfied, however, that no boycott would be ordered, as there was nothing in the circumstances 4o warrent it. Mr. Carleton would have an in- terview, probably on Monday, with Mr. Mo- Cormick, when the few remaining difficulties would, no doubt, be amicably settied. It was plain that influence outside the Knights had ae in bringing about much of the rouble. Not Allowed to Talk. By Telegraph to the Post-DrIspaTcH.

The August term of the City Court will begin on the 23d of the present month and there will be a large docket of cases. This morning 5am Frazer, through his attorney, Mortimore Mil- lard, filed a suit for the recovery of £800 loaned money from Wm. O. Hewitt,for which amount he holds the latter’s notes. The notes be- came due and Hewitt failed to meet their pay- ments, hence the suit. A suit for divorce was led by James White of Madison County. Mr. White statesein his petition that he was married to his wife Mary in I>, and they lived together until September, Isl, when his wife deserted him and bas not since returned. He statesthatshe had no reason for leaving him, as he treated her weli, and hence he considers her action sufilicient grounds for legal separation. Mr. Lewis C. Ensminger has brought a suit for $2,500 damages against the Chicago & Alton Raliroad for injuries received. Ensminger was a fireman on an engine ofthe Lilinois & St. Louis Beit Railroad when an accident occurred about two years ago, which was alleged to have been dueto the carelessness of some O. & A. ein- ployes in leaving openaswitch. The engine was ditched and he sustained serious injaries. William Hill and brother have filed an attach- ment suit against Wm. Ponsiby for $200, for furnishing building materials. Ida M. Lan- caster sues Gara Lancaster for $450 alimony, which he refused to pay. Judge Wm. P. Launtz this morning heard the application of Mortimore Millard for in- junction restraining County Treasurer M. T. Stuokey from collecting $309.05 from the Work- ingmen’s Bank as taxes. It was claimed by the attorney thatthe bank had alreadv paid the taxes for 1885, and that the additional as- sessinent was inexplicable to the bank officiais. The injunction was granted. The suitef George Kleinhein against John Vollman for $200 for the loss of his mustache will be tried Monday in ’Squire Shea’s court. Voliman cut off Kleinhein’s mustache whils the latter wus asieep, and on awakening and discovering his loss he repaired at once to the ’Squire’s court and en- tered suit. Kleinhein agreed this morning to stop the sult of Vollman he would defray the expenses of a Dutch picnic at Jobn Aillen’s, but Voliman would not consent to this proposition, and the suit will therefore likely go to trialas Kleinhein refusesto make any other compromise, Last night one of the Water-works mains on Main street near Broadway bursted and the street. was flooded with water. The damage was repaired this morning. The City Clerk has received samples of hose or the Water-works from a New York firm, and they will be exhibited to the Council on Tuesday. Atthe meeting on that day an ordi- nance will very likely be passed providing for two reels. A Colored Men’s Ticket. By Telegraph to the Post-DIspaTcu.

Correct and Incorrect Methods of Catch- ing the High Fly. Break Down of a Once Great Pitcher— Another Essay on the Deceptive Curve —A History and Sketch of Beach, the Australian—Diamond Field Records— Sporting News and Base Ball Gossip. ‘HERE probably never was 4% \ period in the history of the national game when the situ- ation was so very shaky as it is atthe present time. This, of course, must be considered ,as said with a reservation. Either such is the case or the S press and the public are hug- ging one of the largest de- lusions on record. The specu- lations as to just at which point the break will occur and when, are alittle vacue to say the least, but a big smashis im- minent can be taken asa foregone conclu- sion. In looking over the _ financial records ofthe present season the weakness seems to lean toward afew clubs in the League and toward one ortwo inthe American Asso- ciation. The poor financial showing of two clubs in National body—Washington and Kan- sas City—is directly attributable to their re- markably. bad tecord as ball players. When the Western Committee of League Managers decided to take in these cities last spring, it will be remem- pered that the PosT-DISPATCH indicated then thatthe gentlemen composing the com- mittee allowed them into the League to fill up forone season with no intention of keeping them and with the understanding they were to vacate when requested. The two cities in question have practically no voice at all in the jeague’s action, and can therefore be dropped at pleasure. New York, Chicago, Detroit and Philadelphia have done well, while Boston has not done badly. The Association clubs have not suffered to an alarming extent; that is to say, they have not altogether been depleted or have not lost sufficiently heavy sums of money to force them to quit business. With them it is more a matter of increasing their incomes rather than of retrieving that which they have lost. é ** x The third city in the League upon which much speculation has been wasted in St. Louis. The Mound City holds without a doubt the first place among all the base ball cities in the United States and couid easily support two clubs royally. St. Louis. people are peculiar, however, inthe respect that they are slow to encourage poor players or poor clubs, and can only be conquered by first-class work. Ifthe struggle for superiority can be prolonged until perfection and success are reached a hearty support is sure, butsuch a struggie is a des- perate one, and cannot be made uniess big money or big luck is at the back ofit. A first- class League club would pay as wellin St. Louis as in Chicago or AMetroit or New York, but it must be a first-class club in order to do so. But with neither money nor Inuck it is a matter of impossibility for a fifth-class club to thrive in this city. This would leave the League a basis of five clubs on the supposition that the law of natural selection will bein force at the begin- ning of next season, and itisa safe ag ate, tion to say that it will. With these facts in view Indianapolis has already made an appli- cation for admission into the League, but the changes which will probably take place mean- while will be apt to throw both Indianapolis and its application into the shade. * = a The League and the Association who pass through the city with their clubs are a queer lot of fellows. On the one hand the Leaguers select out a certain number of clubs in their own association and with a knowing smile say they will die, and thatthe Association is bound togoup. Onthe other hand the Association managers are as sure that the League, as it stands to-day, is doomed; that the majority of its clubs have been losing hand over fist, and that the Association will absorb the cream of the League. This sort of talk is only an index to the side in which the speaker is interested, but the one fact that is unanimously agreed upon is that something is going to burst. The confidences that are being exchanged day after day all pointtothe same direction and while the managers lie with the greatest of imperturbability the public is anxiously awaiting the outcome of it all. «*« Considerable commotion has been pro duced of late by the alleged lowering of the world’s 100-yard record by Harry M. Johnson at Cleveland. This record seems to be re- liable as five watches were held on him and ail were uniform in their time. Johnson’s time inthe sprint at Cleveland turned out to be 9 4-5 seconds and this was the time quoted as an improvement on the world’s record which was held to be 10 seconds. Either the gentioemen at Cleveland are wotully ignorant of the records of sprinting or they deliberately overlook another record, official and authenticated, made at Turnpike road, Hammersmith England, by an American whose name is George Seward and who accomplished the ae ook runin 9% sec- onds, considerably less than that scored by Mr. Johnson. If Seward’s performané@e was a cpeyey those interested in sprinting would like to be satisfied of the fact. _ ' MATTHEWS’ BREAK-DOWN. The Once Great Pitcher Will be Seen no More on the Diamond This Season. Another great pitcher has broken down in the person of Bobby Matthews of the Athletic Base Ball Club. For years past Matthews has been one of the best known figures on the diamond, and public audiences have every- where greeted him with popular favor. Asa pitcher he has occupied the foremost rank for more than ten years, and although slight in figure, and seemingly devoid of brawn and muscle, his puzzling curves and tricky deliv- ery have made him one of the most phenom- ns anh twirlers that ever opposed a formidable in Tuesday's contest with the Louisvilles Matthews perched “% plucky game for four innings. He used all his curves, employed all the tactics known to pitchers, but his speed Was gone, and the heavy Kentucky batters posnnes his delivery without mercy. In the fth inning a wus rete to look at him. His arm gave out completely, and “*: — co gd aggro ike a child. ee atthews is one of the olde baseball profession, being 37 poreus buen Everywhere he is populariy known as ‘‘Bobby.’’ He is the trickiest pitcher ever known, and nota little of his success is due to this fact. Asarnie pitchers wear them- selves out and last but two or three seasons but Matthews has been awinuing base bali tosser for fourteen years. In 1872 Matthews pitched his first game at Fort Wayne, Ind.. The game lasted fourteen innings and he won ra most sanguinary contest. Afterward he pared with the old Mutuals of New York, and also with the Bos. tons, where he was a member of the team in which Spaulding, White, George and Harry Wright, Leonard, Barnes, O'Rourke and others played. In 1882 Matthews joined the Athletic Club, and ever since has been the backbone of the team. In 1883 it was mainly by Matthews’ fine work inthe pitcher’s box that the Athletics won the championship. Matthews was one of the very first men to curve the ball. Foralong time no one knew the secret of his success as a pitcher. Batters could not hit his delivery toany effect, and he ed as an eni friction. Now, if the forward without any special bias being given it, the friction of the air is equal on each side action of the wrist and fingers in imparting the bias to the ball which produces the curves in question, but a curve A goccend gives we his any one else. This was before scientific men acknowledged the possibility of a pitcher curving the ball. Matthews nearly always threw a low curve. His most effective ball was a panes dro curve. Heisasmaliman, weighing about l pounds, and compared with most other play- ers is as frailasareed. He never lost his head in a game, but, on the contrary, was pe cal- culating, and ready to take advantage of any opportunity. Given aman ona base, and the chances were that Bobby would catch him napping and put him out. Base-runners were pa tay Boe hugging the bags. Matthews was never much of a batter, but this season he has been hitting the ball very successfuily, and his batting average is very high. Matthews has pitched only twenty-one games this season. He first threw his arm out at Pittsburgh, winning the game by 5to 14. The contest was sharp, and he could not rest himself a game, and his collapse was the result. Several times since he has tried to pitch, but has each time been com- pelled to abandon the game. His break- down may not be permanent, but the chances are largely against him. Manager Simmons bas sent him back to Philadelphia, and will not pitch him again this year unless he nakes a remarkable recovery. The Athietic players all say that Matthews’ ball days are over. Certainly a great and popular ball-player has retired {rom the green diamond. _— OA oP - DIAMOND FIELD RECORDS. The League Race Assuming a Most Exciting Aspect. The changes in the American Asssciation standing the last week have been few. Louis- ville has passed Brooklyn and succeeds that club at the second place. Brooklyn has passed down to third and Pittsburg holds its piace at fourth. The Dalance of the clubs remain un- changed. In the League New York has madea spurt and passed Chicago in therace forthe pen- nant. The Giants now stand secondto De- troit and will yet gothefrontif the Detroits continue to lose games as they have been do- ing of late. The following are the records: “a The Association.

When this method is once learned it is almost impossible fora high fly to get away from a flelder, as he can extend or draw in his arms and thus takein the downward » path ofthe ball. But this 47°. covering of space is not fF moreimportant than the -shield it is against the ‘ bounding of the ball from _the fielder’s hand. With +. the paims upward the = hands are kept apart until , ’ just before the Dull reaches them, when they ~ are closed, the. sides against each other, and se ee the ball drops into them =. - —-*" easily and the arms give down to lessen the force of the impact, and the ball nestles snugly inthe expert hands. This method of catching can be adapted to all kinds of high flies, since if the ball goes over the head it can be caught over the shoulder with but a slight oo of hand position the principle being the same. This modification is much used in making the running-with-the- _, ball-catch, a feat thatis frequent- \ ly observed when Little Nick in‘ right field has to turn and run to the seats before the ball drops low enough for him to reach it. The principle of least resistance reventing a rebound is beauti- ully shown in this overshouider catch, the body having the same motion asthe ball going with itand the sphere’s flight being slowly not suddenly,checked. In another respect is the pulms-upward catch the most valuabie. Itis death to short-high flies on the run-in, as the flelder with his hands in the scoop position can get fur- ther under it than by any other means. Welch,the faultiess flejder of the Browns, by using this method almost exclusively cune cover two fields at once, — and can capture a fiy almost as far in as second base. O'Neill, his left field colleague, catching only at the height of the breast orthe head, is scarcely any good at pick-ups. Welch is agreat fielder only by comparison. Others of his clusa have not learned the knack, and consequently their average is lowered by muffs that would never occur if they but knew how to hold their hands and carried out that knowledge. For instance, Gore of Chicago is built as well for fielding as Welch, he is as nimble with hands and feet, but somehow or other his catching always seems @ bungling. Even the novice in the audience can see that some- thing’s wrong. A view of one of Mr. Gore’s positions + explains why. He is stooping down to catch a fiy he ean barely get under. One palm is turned upward, but the other hand resting on the thumb is raised at Tight angles to the other. This is the most awkward way of all to catch, we.is very plain, be- Mwuds cannot give much when hit with the bail, and because the body has to be lowered so much more to get the hands under the ball. It isone of the un- fortunate things about base ball that captains do not observe these mistakes in their men and attempt to correct them. A splendid illus- tration of this exists in the Cincinnati Club, in which Jones is left fielder. Onthe4th of July last, in a game at Sportsman’s Park, he caught ten flies, a uite unprecedented num- ber. But alf of these were short flies over third, which Jones only caught after a hard run. 4 He didn’t make an_ error and played a brilliant game, it was said, but in every run-in he would squat to get under the ball in a manner that made the grand stand red with the reflection from the blush on Weich’s and Nicol’s faces. If Jones were put through acourse, of sprouts there is little doubt’ but be would be as graceful and sure a catcher as Welch. There is one fly catch that is so unique as to deserve a special place. It is Dunlap’s. The great second baseman of the Ma- roons can Claim itas his own, as no other player cares about risk- ing his flelding average for the suke of doing it. Fred gets his hands together at the thumbs, with the fingers pointing upward to about where his scarf-pin is when he has on a white shirt, and as the bail setties into his ew . his closed iands sink against his breast. It is a very prettycatch but hazardous for any- one not as ‘‘great’’ as Dunlap. The one hand catch is anotker feat quite common to the Maroons’ second baseman and is essayed often by Pieffer of Chica- go. itis peculiarly a second baseman’s lay asthe chances or it are most . ’ - numerous in the SRT seo flies knocked . ~ around second base. The Big Illumination Fund Game. The benefit game for the Illumination Fund with the nines representing the Elks and the Press Gang as contestants takes place Mon- day at Union Park, and promises to be a big suceess. The friends of the EKiks feel highly elated over the progress in the line of practice, which the Elks’ team has attained, and with their reinforcements will give the newspaper men a hard tussle. The latter are in good shape, and when the two nines meet next Monday it will be the occasion of an interest- and warmly contested . All casing | ine players are well- 1p — of course their legion of friends Will go out to see them down the press fiends. Col. Joe Carr, the gilt-edged lover of the fame, who has seen more good and bad bail than any local enthusiast extant, will umpire the game. He does this witha philanthropic Spirit, in the face of all the disasters which have attended the umpires this season. He knows his business, however.

New Yorker: ‘‘Our boys just swiped the De- troits the other day in good style, Gidn’t they?’’ The Christian Brothers College nine will go to De Soto to-morrow to play the Charter Oaks of that town. New Yorker: ‘‘Excuse me, sir; we never use that word whenthe New Yorks are out-um- pired.’’—Tid-Bits. Snyder of the Cincinnatis umpired a game reeentiy and kept count of the balls and strikes on a bunch of keys. Chas. Sweeney will nurse his damaged arm in the glorious climate of California. He hopes to enter the field again next summer. George Washington Bradley is now captain and first baseman of the Binghamtons. **Georgie Washee’’ don’t pitch any more. It is said that the reason of Kilroy’s ineffect- iveness is the fact that Fulmer cannot hold lim, and that the Baltimore phenomenon must therefore go slow. Joe Quest, formerly of the Athletic Club. wants to be an Association umpire. He has recommendations from the St. Louis, Athletic, Louisville and Cincinnati clubs. Propositions have been made to the St. Louis management to secure Dunlap and Glasscock for the Detroit Club, but no Detroit players were offered in exchange. It was a money proposition. The Corticellis will cross bats with the Mound Citys to-morrow (Sunday). They will pre- sent their great and effective battery, McKen- naand Hunt. Duffyand Fuller will occupy the points for the Mound Citys. Dick Keenoy,the hyperbolic curve dispenser of the Press Gang nine, will tickle the Elks’ fancies as they imagine they can solve his deceptive delivery. The Eiks will simply see- saw the air under Keenoy’s smiles. Hecker is desirous of leading the batters of the Association this rear. His nearest rivals are Lewis and Carroll, and he foots up the averages of these players every game. If either fails to make a hit Hecker is lavish in treating the boys. If the best nine League fielders could be ar- ranged inone team the club would be made up as follows: O’Rourke, c.; Farrar, 1b; Rich- ardson of Detroit, 2b; Esterbrook, 3b; Force, s.8.; J. Manning, |. f.; Hanlon, c. f.; Fogarty, r. f., and Casey, p. The Cincinnatis have signed Bickam, the Princeton College pitcher. Bickam has ter- rific speed, and is the greatest college pitcher sinee the days of Ernst, Avery and Nichols. No catcher has ever been found who could properly support him. ‘*Better go out to the ball ground this after- noon. There is going to be a fine game.’’ ‘*How do you know?’’ ‘‘I was present at Jim Doolan’s last night, when the umpire sold the game toour boys. It was as fair a dealas I ever saw.’’—/‘lid Bits. A Boston player asked Esterbrook of the New Yorkers who wag the best third baseman inthe League. ‘‘Well,’’ said he, ‘‘it’s neither here nogthere who is first, but either White, Sut- ton, Mulvey, Donnelly, Gladmon, Burns or Denny is a good second.’”’ President Young of the National League says that the attempt to have the champion season rolonged to admit of the playing of postponed games has proved futile, because one club voted against it. He would not say what club it was, but itis an open secret that Detroit objected. Ramsey’s magnificent work on Saturday against the Laltimores stamps him king of the twirlers this season. but one hit was made off himin a twelve-inning game. He struck out seventeen men. And still some authorities say strike-out pitchers are no good.—Pittsburg Chronicle. Smith, the Brooklyn short-stop, is a brag- gart. He says that hecan play a deep short field, and when the fleet-footed Latham comes to the bat, Smith claims he can pick up the ball and by wonderful throwing put Latham vut at first bag every time. Smith has avery elastic imagination.—Courier Journal. A startling rumor is going the rounds tothe effect that Mr. Wiman has opened negotiations with Von der Ahe forthe transfer of the St. Louis Browns to Staten Island. What a mas- ter-stroke that would be! They would bring 5,000 people a day to St. George. A one-horse town like St. Louis, with its average daily at- tendance at 800, does not deserve to have such a nine.—[Sportsman. The Illumination Fund game between the Elks and the Press Gang at Union Park Mon- day ought to draw out a big crowd. The efforts of the gentlemen who are giving their time and working up the game for the sole object of aiding the illumination iund are de- serving of recognition, and a liberal turn-out will best please them and add greatly to the arans object for which the benefit game is given. Charles Sweeney has been released by Syra- cuse after pitching two losing games. Alas, what a drop for a pitcher who was in ’84 con- sidered the finestof them ail. On Tuesday last he pitched for the Constableville Club against the Lowvilles, in the deciding contest for the championship of Lewis County, New York. Devine and Householder of the Syracuse Stars were the imported battery of the Lowvilles. Sweeney’s club, Constableville, was beaten by 4 to 0. ‘*Pitchers and catchers are alike in one par- ticular,’’ said Manager Ferguson of the Mets lately. ‘‘When the former geet batted freely they have sore arms, and when the latter have four or five passed balls their hands are always sore. Sometimes catchers’ hands get very sore. ‘The greattrouble is with the knuckles, which become bruised, and the slightest touch causes the most intense pain. ven the big gloves do not deaden the blow. I have known catchers’ hands to become numb by constant pounding. Catchers havea hard time of it. They have to take good care of a staved finger, or the joint water will gatherinto one spot and become a callous substance, leaving a big lump. The only way to get rid of this is to rub the bruised part frequently. Ihave re- moved several lumps from my fingers in that way.’’ : Yesterday’s Games. The efficient pitching of Foutz yesterday held down the Athietics to five hits that netted them2runs: The Browns, on the contrary, secured ten hits off Atkisson and scored 10 runs. At Philadelphia the Phillies evened up with the Maroons for recent deieats by shutting them out altogether and scoring three times. Healy, however, pitched a good game, and the **greatest base runners’’ batted him for five hits only. Oth er Games. At Pittsburg—Baltimores, $8; Pittsburg, 1. At New York—Kansas City,4; New York,3.

New YORK, August 7.—The young, beautiful and talented actress, Daisy Murdoch, lies ina dreamless sleep. Itis eight years ago thata beautiful little girl of ten summers appeared on the stage of Fourteenth Street Theater in a company of children, who sang and acted ‘‘Pinafore.’’ It wasthe night of her. debut, and she was 80 sunny and pretty and sang so well and showed such marked dramatic talent that she won the hearts of the audience and attracted the favorable notice of the press. Thus the curtain went down on Miss Daisy Murdoch as Hebe in ‘‘Pinafore.’’ She was a born actress and bade fair to become one of the most distinguished in the dramatic profession. She was lively, vicacious, and full of fun, and seemed likely to succeed Lotta in the popular esteem. She grew up to be a beautiful girl. White asalily with blue eyes and light auburn hair. She played in ‘‘Orpheus and Eurydice,’’ and ber last en- gagement was leading lady in the comedy company of Nat Goodwin. One of her char- acteristics was her goodness to her mother to whose comfort and support, together with that of her younger brothers and sisters, she contributed for many ears and while yet very young. Last winter che contracted pneumonia and, returning to the stage before she had fairly recovered, she was attacked by hasty consumption, In March last the green curtain rang down for her for the lust time and she left forher death bed. In the long tragedy of the sick room, Want eame to watch by her couch with Death. She, who had always had teers for distress and had given to many, now found herself in lack of the com- forts that belong to the S1CK AND DYING. At this juncture a benevolent young actress, Miss Pauline Hall, took a tramp all around New York and asked all the leading actors in the city to co-operate in giving a bepelit per- formance forthe dying Miss Murdoch. They responded gladly. Avery successful perform- ance was given, and the proceeds, some $600, were presented to Miss Murdoch. The friends ofthe stricken actress knew that she would die, but she did not know it till about three days before her death, when she said to her friends for the first time that she was ‘‘never going to get well.’ She was a very good girl, and once dur- ing her illness, when she was wondering if she would ever get well, her near friend, Miss Weston, said to her: ‘‘Everything is in the hands of God. You will have to pray to God.’’ The little actress folded her hands yently and prayed for her life. When she had finished her pathetic prayer she turned to Miss Weston and said: ‘‘I do that every day.’’ She suffered much Thursday, and her friends felt that her earthly career was approaching its close. When evening had come and about two hours before death all pain left her. She chatted almost blithely with everyone in the room arouud her, till within nearly three minutes of the time when her soul took leave of them forever. The lamps came out in the street, and the stars came outin the sky. She said: ‘‘lam so sleepy, Iguesa I shall gotosleep.’’ Her head dropped to one side. Her spirit had gone among the stars. She was asleep. ‘*No sleep so beautiful and calm So free from trace of pain, So fair to look upon.’ It was 8:15 o’clock. She died at the early age of IS at the home of Mrs. Weston, at 215 West Twenty-third street, who nursed her with motherly kindness.

High water-mark was reached on Wednesday night at Golden’s benefit when the Garden was packed with people. It has come to bea habitto goto the Cave and when this pointis reached there can be no possibility of anything excepting contin- ued success. It is right that this should be so because the management deserves credit for whatthey have accomplished in the way of summer enter- tainment. All the old operas have been hand- somely costumed and admirably presented, and two new operas are offered. ‘‘The Golden Goose’’ which is running now isagem and is produced in capital style and rich costumes and strong cast. Musically it is sweet and cap- tivating and the libretto possesses the merit of being witty and amusing, virtues possessed by few adapted librettos. The ‘‘Golden Goose’’ willbe kepton all of next week and will be succeeded by another novelty which has captivated the audiences of the Casino in New York. This is ‘‘Erminie,’’ or rather ‘*Macaire,’’as it will be known here. It will probably close the season, as it will run two weeks and the down town theaters open the last of this month. Untilthe end of the sea- son, therefore, the Cave patrons will be given novelties. - —_— A GOOD BALLET DANCER. Mme. Morlacchi’s Record in Public and Private Life. « Nym Crinkle in the New York WorLp. Last Saturday a week ago died in a little New England town a ballet dancer whose lifeina great measure answers the oft-repeated ques- tion about a class of women whose profession is popularly held to be one of exposure. Guiseppina Morlacchi was celebrated in her time, and, as she was bornin 1843, that time was not solongago. Why, it was only so far back as 1869 that she appeared at the Grand Opera-house herein that famous production of ‘‘The Tempest,’’ which turned Clifton Tayleure’s hair grayand made the English stockholders of Erie shares squeal. Then she was & stage queen. In the height of her. beauty and flush of her powershe had every path of a successful stage queen open to her. i find thatthe record and the traditions agree as to her exemplary character, her exceptional probity, her marked individuality and her rare sense of honor and justice. Isn’t this deli- cious in a ballet dancer? Among the herd of admirers while she was playing at the Grand Opera-house was the generous, reckless and somewhat flabby Jim Fisk, the aiter-Mikado of West-Side Satur- nalia. He had everything bat his own money to bea Cre@sus., He only lacked discretion to be a Macwnas. One night he went to Mor- lacchi as she was waiting to go on and slipped a diamond ring on her finger. After the per- formance she sent for him and handed the ring back to him. ‘*Oh, it’s real,’’ said Fisk. ‘‘Oh, bother, tS at it’s the first water and worth $5, - ‘*Bah!’’ said Morlacchi, with a shrug, ‘‘I can earn that with one of my toes.’’ The coufused Mikado went to the front of the house, and running against Cliff Tayleure he remarked, when he bad got his breath: ‘‘There's a good woman that a bad man can fight for.’’ Of course he meant a bad man who had the courage to fight. This wasbefore he was Colonel. 3 W ben the ‘‘Devil’s Auction’’ was produced here she was the chief attraction. In 1869 she made ‘‘The Midsummer-Night’s Dream’’ at Selwyn’sioa Boston. Then, against her own Spy,’’ and in 1871 was with the Majiltons. It wasin Chicago that she first met Texas Jack and fellin love with him, This strange alliance appearsto have been the resuit of genuine affection, and the premiere who had enthralled Turin, Genoa, Lisbon, and held the gilded youth of London’ at bay, fellinto the arms of the American scout. Fate were mar- ried and on her part at least the reiatiotiship is said to have been one of unwavering deveuon + are Agog for, and that boom will be the ville she was there.. She put up with every discomfort; left a comfortaple home, roughed it and stood by him all through the troubles which ended in his sickness ana death, and hers were the hands that closed his eyes. After that she retired to a little New England town and lived out her widowhood in a quiet aud unobserved way. Some of the stories of her independent char- acter are both refreshing and curious. On one occasion, when playing in a spectacular piece, she saw the pohly man saveceeny reak one of the ballet-girl’s helmets, for which she was charged $2, and the management deducted it from the girl’s salary, in spite of her pro- tests. Indignant Mile. Morlacchi sent for the manager and told him she had seen the prop- ertv man break the helmet. She insiste that the girl’s money should be refunded. When the manager refused, she threw up her en- gagement and, leaving the theater, took the oirl with her. i — THE EARL AND THE ACTRESS. A Pretty Pair Who Will Invade America Next Season. The fight between Lord Lonsdale and David Debensartde, the husband of Violet Cameron, for which the noble lord was fined, having thrown the husband out of the actress’ private parlor, where his lordship was being enter- tained, occasioned wide comment. Violet Cameron is the well-known burlesque actress who inaugurates a season of opera comique with an English company at the New York Casino Theater in October next. For some time she has lived separated from her hus- band, with whom she is on exceedingly bad terms. The Ear! of Lonsdale is the peer of the same name who in July last had a pugilistic encounter with Sir George Chetwynd in the well-known fashionable walk Rotten Row, Hyde Park, just at the moment when it was thronged with people. The encounter lasted over ten minutes and resulted from the atten- tions which each of them were paying to Mrs. Langtry. Lord Lonsdale, who as yet has only distinguished himself in the prize ring, isa married man, his wife being the sister of the Marguis of Huntly, who in 1881 had to throw up the command of the Queen’s Body Guard in consequence of his being implicated in some exceedingly shady financial transac- tions, while another brother, Lord Gran- ville Gordon, is reported to have recently experienced some legal an- noyances in connection wit his art ownership of a gambitng-house. Lord Ccaptals. who like his predecessor appears to bave a singular facuity for always getting into scrapes, some of them not ofa very reputable nature, is particularly unpopular in ndon society. Owning toa paragraph having been ublished inthe London World hinting that is marital relations were not ali that they should be, he brought suit for libel against the proprietor, Mr. Edmund Yates, who was sentenced to a three months’ stay in Holloway Jail. Edmund Yates, as soon ashe got out, retaliated Ly publishing an account of the hor- rible and revolting death of his elder brother, who was known as the most utterly depraved peer of this century. Mr. Edward Aronson was seen last night at the crowded Casino by a WoRLD reporter: ‘‘Well, of course I can’t way whether this statementistrue,’’ sald Mr. Aronson, when he read the cabie dispatch, ‘‘but it is not im- probable that Lord Lonsdale has been atten- tive to Miss Cameron. His lordship has an in- come of £60,000 a year, and is quite partial to- wards members ofthe theatrical profession— the ladies in particular. Miss Cameron has made a great hit in the ‘Commodore,’ which has been running in London. Shearrives here and appears in that piece at the Casinoin about four weeks. Lord Lonsdale himself will probably arrive in New York in three weeks, Violet Cameron in about four weeks and David Debensande, the husband, is not sure about coming over, as he might be de trop.’’ —————— HINTS FOR THE GIRLS. How Mrs. Langtry Preserves Her Strength and Beauty. From the St. Stephens Gazette. Mrs. Langtry owes much of her physicai charms to her love of physical exercise. The public have been told by the ubiquitous para- graphist of her exploits of late as a trainer of horses, but it is not generally known, I be- lieve, that the Lily is one of the best lady pedestrians of the day. In England here it was thought that Mrs. Langtry’s chief ocen- pation while touring in America, apart from her professional duties, was posing to receive the homage of her numerous admirers. How far this was from the truth may be gathered froma simple narration of fact concerning her walking experiences in Dayton, O., at which place [happened to be staying when the much-heralaed beauty arrived there. She reached the city on the Sunday morning inher special palace car,and instead of remaining in strict privacy,as celebrated actresses are wont to do when not performing, she took her man- ager out for a walk. They visited all the points of interest in the city, until, as the manager declared, he was completely worn out, while she was as freshas at the start. After strolling about ten miles in this way he succumbed, while the famous beauty laugh- ingly set out alone on an excursion into the country. She first made her way to the Sol- diers’ Home, a distance of four miles up hill and down, walked about the rounds there and returned. Subsequently she proceeded out into the country on a hilly road, without guide or direction, and finally reached the village of Little York, nine miles distant, on arough, ruraiby-road. Then she walked back to the city, arriving there in time to partake of a hearty supper. The next morning she was up early and, after rehearsal, again made the tour of the city, walking-a con- siderable distance. Inthe evening she ap- peared in ‘*‘ Pygmalion and Galatea’’ and made ainost favorable impression. The total dis- tance covered by the accomplished lady dur- ing one day’s pedestrianism was over thirty- six miles, and mostiv over country rouds. Few of her rival beauties of the English fash- ionable world could perform a pedestrian feat of this description, it is tobe feared. How much better it would be for them if they could! —————— THE STARRING CRAZE. No One Left in the Profession fer Leading Parts. From the now York WORLD. The secession of so many actors and ac- tresses fromthe rank and file of the profes- sion has left a dearth of leading men and leading women—not 80 much, however, of the latter as of the former—in this country. The result is easily foreseen. There will be an influx of English players to meet the demands that managers are making in this direction. It was the in- tention of the gentlemen who secured Miss Fortescue to have her supported by an en- tirely American company, but they have found it impossible to engage either a leading man or a juvenile on this side of the water an so will biing perform- ers of this class from the other side. They scoured America for what they wanted, and their failure only emphasizes a fact which was already perry well established, that there is a pitiful scarcity in this country of bright young actors and bright juvenile women. With the advent of new English talent and the return to the ranks of the many who must fail in their starring ven- tures, the market will be once more over- stocked, salaries will go down and the cheap theaters, which are growing in numbers and in their clientele, will get the boom they doom of high prices and the downfall of high salaries. And sv it willcometo pass that the cheap theater, which the first-class artist now regards with contempt, will be the shelter and shrine of all in afew years. The profes- sion itself is responsible for this condition of things. The starring craze has made it pos- sible. The best attractions are coming to it. Social and Stage Stars, From the WorRLD. ' Before Marcus Mayer left London he madea contract with Florence St. John to sing comic opera inthe country the season after next. Meand Daniel Frohman and Ai Hayman, at San Francisco, have formed a combi which will atteinpt to control the importation offoreign dramatic artists to these shores. fins Msn gic = vt ent Ps who will bring swe eople Yerk, Philadelphia, Chica, a me ey of all the who will try _§ for social as l = dramatic distinction during her cone, of course the social phase of the affair is intended only to lend brilliancy and brin profit to the other end of the concern, Aiter Fortescue there will be Florence St. John, and with the original ‘‘Mme.

From the Referee. I Miss Maud Forrester, a regular stunner— mean aregular seventeen stunner—has been appearing during the week at the Britannia as Lady Godiva, and the Hoxtonians bave hada good opportunity ofstudying her stom spt The other actresses and the actors engage could have complained with propriety yo this lady had all the fat in the product .. : er well-trained horse, Lightning, has treated her as a feather- weight, and has with her been the center of attraction in the illustration of the famous procession. Miss Forrester, you may remember, did the thing in_real earnest at Coventry some time ago, but I am not in a po- on to say whether she took all her clothes Oo . American Genius. From the Referee. American playrights are considerably ahead of ours. Iam told that in the Great Republic there are dramatists who will, while you wait, build up aplay for you around two or three wheezes, a dance, a peculiar nose, and, more particularly, a squint. Alse that they guar- antee to fit all your peculiarities to a hair. But for the most startling specimen of this sort of business commend me to Mr. F. Mars- den’s latest play. This, according to an announcement in the New re \ork Mirror, is called ‘‘Patent Rights, and is ‘‘an original comedy fitted up to musical specialities founded on eo and designs, illustrated with topieal songs by Syduey Rosenfeld.’’ Edmund Kean’s Purse. From the London World. An incident of much interest arose out of Mr. Irving’s visit to Oxford. In his address at the university he spoke ofthe last days of Edmund Kean, who died without a £10 note. A few days after Mr. Irving received a letter from Mr. Robert Brewning inclosing the purse of slightly faded green silk tound inthe pocket of the great actor after his death, ‘*without a sixpence therein.’’ it was given by Charles Kean to John Forster, and by him to the poet, who now sends ittothe actor in due succession. ‘‘How can I more worthily place it,’’ gracefully writes Mr. Browning, ‘‘thanin your hands,ifthey willdo me the honor to take it, along with ajJl respect and regard?’’ : Keep to old Tricks. Miss Ellen Terry has a remarkable dog. She holds two: biscuits in her hand, calling one Clito and the other Faust, and the dog eats Faust and leaves Clito. This is regarded as avery clever trick in the admiring circie in if Miss Terry intends to inaugurate the next suOW Season With a dog circus she will have to do much better. The competition tn trained canines is very lively. She will need a clown dogandajumping greyhound by all means, money at the door ifshe doesn’t introducea goat-and-monkey hurdle act. On the whole, we think Miss Terry would do better to keep on demonstrating what Juliet nighthave been had she not died at the early age of 16. Coulisse Chat. The ‘‘Nat’’ offers a refreshing bath and fine sport to swimmers. Mr. W. F. Owen will play the comedy parts with Mme. Modjeska next season. Richard Golden will yeoweny play fora weck at the Cave before the close of the season. . J. Florence has purchased a four-act comedy by Gill and Melburn,entitled ‘‘Fiirt.’’, Joe Polk and Dr. Sayre are busily engaged making spicy additions to ‘‘Mixed Pickles.’’ Genevieve Ward, in the ‘‘Queen’s Favor- ite,’’ next season wiJl be supported by a com- pany entirely English. Miss Kate Forsyth will open her seasonin ‘*Morcelile’’ and ‘‘The Debt of Honor’’ in 8t. Louis, October 1. Mr. Harold Forsberg will revive ‘‘Robert Macaire’’ next season. Miss Inez Rochelle and Mr. W. P. Sheidon will be of the support. R. E. Graham will create the leading comedy role in the Temple Theater (Philadelphia) pro- oe of Sid Rosenfeid’s opera, ‘‘The Mys tic Isle.’’ Frank Mayo, in reviving the ‘‘Three Guards- men,’’ has madean important role of the char- acter of Ann of Austria and is negotiating with a prominent actress to play the part, Mr. Charles Sugden, the handsome English actor, who eloped some years since with the Countess Desart, will visit this country as a member of Miss Fortescue’s company. Evans and Hoey declare that notwithstand- ing all reports to the contrary they have pur- chased ‘‘Little Jack Sheppard,’’ the latest London success, and that they have the man- uscript and the mise-en-scene complete. Miss Harriet Weuathersbee, the youngest sister of Eliza and Jennie, is coming to this cones with Mr. and Mrs. Nat C. Goodwin, and will begin asa chorus singer in ‘‘Little Jack Sheppard.’’ some. Catherine Lewis is negotiating for a New York opening for a three-aet comedy entitled, ‘*My Missus,’’ which is said to be better than ‘*The Jilt,’’ and offers Miss Lewis a compan- ion partto Frou-Frou. There is some sing- ing in it. Acable from Col. McCaull announces the purchase of the new opera, ‘‘Waidemere, or the Brigand of the Rhine,’’ the music of which ie by William Fullerton, the libretto by Maurice Barrymore and the lyrics by Beattie Kingston. The list of stars will be increased the ecom- ing season by the addition of Miss Agnes Herndon’s name. The vehicle which she has ehosen is a new farce-comedy written by H. 8. Hewitt and Fredric Haile, and entitied ‘‘The Commercial Tourist’s Bride.’’ Nat Goodwin is at Nuremburg, in Bavaria, on his way tothe Carisbad Springs. Nat says the only difference he can see between the ancient gentlemen who built the castles on the Rhine and the successful men about New York isthat the former got broke building them and the latter by going out to see ’em. Osmond Tearle will open with his new play, ‘*Kenneth Gordon,’’ in San Francisco, Octo- ber 11, and will tour the country eastward, opening ia New York shortly after the holi- days.

Jack Ashton’s Proof of His Metal — Jem Smith and His Manager, Mace — The in in Wales—Last Fatal Fight in America— Tommy Warren—A Hint to Base Ball Managers—Macon’s Melange. Special Correspondence of the Post-DISPATCH. PHILADELPHIA, Sheedy seems determined that Sullivan and Frank Hearld shall meet. Despairing of being able to bring them togetherin public in New York City or its immediate vicinity, he Is tak- ing steps to have them fight at Saratoga, at least itissoreported. Idoubtif he will be able to do so. The people of Saratoga are very jealous of the reputation of their beauti- ful village, and they may well be so, for itis their bread and butter. They do not want its elegant streets and drives overrun by the mob that such a fight wouid attract, and they will doubtless take prompt and eflicient measures to prevent any such invasion. Itis only about thirty miles from Albany or Troy to Saratoga, andin the event of a contest between these men both towns would vomit forth their toughs by the thonsands to see it. An invasion by the Huns would hardly be more appalling. If Pat is wise he will give up this attempt, and if he will figure as a pugilistic manager let him ar- vary and Bellefontaine Cemete ’Salion Park and other suburban aaa ’ re. ¢ m w range for a semi-private meeting between these worthies. I think Hearld is really will- ing to try conclusions with the big fellow, and if there is enough money in it Sullivan will be there. If Pat wants a big sensation let him arrange a fight of the kind between Sullivan and McCafirey. That would be a sensational affair. * * a The fight between Jack Kilrain and Jack Ashton demonstrated that Ashton was a much better manthan had been thought. Kilrain has had a hack at all the big guns of the coun- try except Sullivan and McCaffrey, including Mike Clearey,Jack Burke and Charley Mitchell. Ife bas never been defeated and the showing that Ashton made against him proves that he ig an out-and-out good one, That the decision ofthe reteree in Kilrain’s favor was just, I True, it did not suit Billy Mad- den, who is Ashton’s mentor, but Billy never is suited in a decision unless it is in favor of his side of the question. He wants to make another match for his protege against Kilrain and he will doubtless be suc- cessful. Bothare big, strong men who are fairly scientific, and both are as game as they When the club men get back to New York from their summer haunts they will get them together again. Idon't think Ash- ton will be able to do Jack. He will haveto learn to use his left better before he can, bar accident, down the sturdy ex-Bostonian. * » * By the time this reaches the eves of my readers Chariey Mitchell will be back in ‘*dear old Lunnon, yeh know,’’ and shouid have made the acguaintance of Jem Smith. Jem, by the way, { see is matched to fight Knifton, ‘*the eighty-onetonner.’’ The English ‘‘big feliow’’ is as large asa skinned horse and as strongasanox. He has little or po science and does not know how to make his strength etfective. If the matchison the level Smith ought to do himin short meter. I think itis only one of Mace’s ‘‘fakes’’ to keep Smith be- fore the publiceye. The Gypsey has formed a sparring partnership with Smith, and he will work him for every doliar there is in him. Mace is arare good manager, and now I be- lieve that Smith will cometothis country. The Gypsey bas been through it time and again. He knows its fatness and he will gather the choicest graft there is in it. If Smith is clever he can pick up manya point from Mace. The latter is too old now to ever think of fight- ing again, and he will do all in his power to make his partner whip Sullivan Speaking of John L., the last time I talked with him, Mace said: ‘‘Heesagood’un and a big ’un, and that’s what you rarely see. If I was only 20 years younger I would giveall I ever had to have ago with him. I know just how to fight to lick him, butI’m tooold. He es the hard- est hitter 1 ever saw, and I’ve seen a few of ’em in my time that were pretty good.’’ * * os If Mitchell makes any pretenses to the championship of England he will have to meet Smith. Mace will try and bring them together I am sure. He Knows just what Chariey amounts toandif he believes Smith to be what he says he is, he will chaff Charley into a matchif possible. At the same time I know that Mitchell willdoallin his power to avoid such a meeting, especially in En- giand. There is very little money in a fight over there, even for the winner, and Charley cares very little for glory that is unaccompanied with wealth He ig very ‘*‘canny’’ that way. He knows that in this country there would be big money, even for the loser, in a contest with Smith and if the latter bothers him, he will, I think, ask him to put off his talk until they meet thisside of the ——' ond. Mace knows how solid it would make Srflith to be the conqueror of Mitchell and he ag I said before will force matters, if he can, if he be lieves firmly in his man. e*« There has just been a fatal fight in Wales be- tween two Welshmen named Evans and Jones. The latter was sadly beaten and died soon after being taken from the ring to his home, I do not recollect a fatal battle fought under the Marquis of Queensberry rules. That is one good thing in theirfavor. It is only in fights to a finish with naked knuckles that men are killed, The last fatal fight of consequence in this country took place about thirty miles be- low this city some seven or eight years ago. The contestants were Jimmy Weeden and Young Walker. The latter was of German ori- gin, and it is said that the night before he fought he swore aterribie oath that he would whip Weeden or die in the attempt. Both were ver clever. The fight was mainly ‘‘lead an cross’’ from startto finish, Walker doing the leading. He got one bad fall ey in the fight, that shook him up very badly. He was ‘*crossed’’ so often on the jaw that it puffed up horribly and the blood coagulated and brought on congestion, from which he died. It is said that had he been bled freely by the doctor who was present he would have been allrightin afew days. Weeden was sent to State prison for this fight apd died in Tren- ton. The moral is, boys, if you must fight, stick to the gloves and six or eight rounds. * ’ » Tommy Warren is accused of sharp _—— that is novel to say the least of it. e is up around St. Paul and Minneapolis and it is said that his last three fights have been with the same man who has changed his namein each contest. This is something new under the sun and beats Duncan Ross allhollow. How- ever, I see Warren’s side partner and oppo- nent Nolan, Collins, or whatever his name may be, has been very seriously, if not fatally hurt in a row in Minneapolis, and Tommy may have to fighta fresh man to get another partner, a“ It is rumored that both the Leagueand Amer- ican Base Ball Associations are seriously think- ing of employing some pugilists for umpires next season. Most American pugilists nowa- days are well up in the intricacies of the Na- tional game, and it is thought that if John L. Sullivan, Dominick McCaffrey, Jake Kilrain Frank Hearid, or Jack Ashton were employ as umpires there would be less ‘‘sass’’ and **back talk’’ and ‘‘kicking’’ from the players, and lifti@ or no disposition on the part of audiencegto mob them.

Would you like to try the bike, Art! If yon were to happen to have another idea it wouldn’t be such a task on your lungs.’’ ARTHUR—‘*Oh, the nves are all right, but I will trade places for a while.’’ (The young men dismount and change places. Arthur is first in the saddle and starts away.) ALICE—‘‘You’re awfully mean Bert.’’ (They come along side of Arthur.)

The look changes to one of saucy and smiling yet doubt- ful challenge as he draws the handkerchief across her lips and then after a moment of almost imperceptible hesitation he stoops and kisses her.) ALICE—‘‘Why Bert Young!’’ BERT—‘‘Yes?’’ ALICE—‘‘How dared you?’’ BERT—‘‘I had permission.’’ ALICE—‘‘From whom?’’ BeErRT—‘‘You—your eyes.’’ (She sits on the grass and puts her face in her hand. Bert stands looking down at her. At length she lifts her eyes.) ALICE—‘‘I don’t understand myself. a BERT—‘‘ Who does thoroughly?’’ ALICE—‘‘Oh I’m not going to become metaphysical, but I can’t understand why I allowed you to do that here when I would not think of permitting it if at home.’’ BErRT—‘‘The air perhaps.

Later when & boat floats slow- ly away from the landing steps on the opposite side and idly plays over the near shore bound water space, one may still dream on—wiaening the now rippled lake, build palaces upon its shore, and setin them gay people whose fan- tastic feet own the impetus of dream music. Then down the graveled paths roll the baby chariots. Pink cheeks, blue eyes—now many blue eyes there are, and every pair holds to the same look of wonder. They smile if you smile; little coquettes, they will laugh with you, eat all your sweetmeats, snatch all your flowers and give you a scratch for a kiss. With them the nursemaids come. Anend to dreaming. Imagination stops at the nursemaid. The carriages are set out on the lawn, not too far on the dew-heavy grass from the benches, and in easy reach of their charges the resting maids lighten their cares with gos- sip. You listen. Not much of their talk comes up to you but now and then a word of monot- onous iteration reaches the ear: ‘‘HE.’’ Nothing but ‘‘he did,’’ ‘‘he gaid,’’ ‘the was,’’ ‘‘heis’’ and ‘‘he willbe.’’ He-he-he. All morning if they sat there, all day—it may be that forever the rsemaid can talk of nothing else than ‘‘he,™ unless it might be ‘**him It is Sunday morning in Lafayette Park. - ae: - A place for dreaming. Troops of children come after the baby car- riages. Good, carefully trained and properly starched children in uncomfortabie clothes on their way to Sunday-school. Real every- day children in old frocks rolling on the be- dewed grass,and luxuriating in provocation to rheumatism until the discreet policeman inter- feres, and drives them off the grass. Astheair grows hotter and weighted with steam from the lakes and the dew, the crowd on the benches grows. The good church- going people who pass are shocked at the number of the ungodly, turn their faces reso- lntely from the beauty of the flowers, close their nostrils against the perfume blandish- ments pointing straight ahead through the Jine oftrees, along the gravel roads, tothe home of their creed. Who are they there, leaning on the rustic bridge looking down atthe artistic confusion of lava rock, water lilies and pond water? Lover and sweetheart, or husband and wife? A prize card if youtell. See how she is chat- tering. He is very sedate. They are moving away. Now they have taken the bench in the shade at the end of the bridge. What is their relationship, did youask? Husbandand wife. He is reading a paper and she is digging holes in the gravel with her parasol. The nursemaid’s glory. But there—another couple. No doubt there. He thinks no one saw that kiss and she—hopes noone did. She willbe proud of his kisses by and wo he A steady crunching of the gravelnow. The reachers have finished and the hot, tired partans who listened to their thunder are going homea little gratefulto find there is some beautyin this world after all. Dainty Miss Furbeiow and her dapper attendant are giggling gaily over—what? Well, it does not matter much; they would giggle ata funeral. And staid Miss Prim with old Owl-eyes. They are giggling, too, in a soft, nervous way. Would it not be strange if after all these years of old maidenhood, and after his sad experi- ence with one fickle woman—but that is their air. The park is almost empey. Tom Benton, done in bronze, still stands wrapped in thought and a horse blanket. Beneath him on the pedestal, absurd as his Roman drapery, the gilt spots remaining in the once gilded letters of his golden phrase ‘‘To the West, there is India,’’ refuse to glow in the full hot light of thesun. Washington diminutive, and bronze too, erects his ancient form above another absurd pedestal, while a spider weaves itself a dwelling between the Father’s slender bronze leg and the oxydizingsword.

But Dr. Tudor will not go to the camp grounds until after Sun- day. A prominent worker in down-town evangel- ization having advanced the suggestion that Mr. O. J. Gary, the evangelist, change the Garrison-Gary mission into an independent ehurch, Mr. Gary was seen to-day by a Post-Dispatcn reporter. He suid he was qnuité averse to any such un- dertaking at present. Le had always believed that the nucleus of a church could be formed at Eleventh and Locust streets, but he did not believe that the mission had as yet compieted its work, which had not grown too large for them to bandie in their present capacity. He held to the opinion that the location fora church is good and that it will spring up in time. Y. M. C. A. Notes. George T.

A Brotherhood That Discounts the Won- ders of Mediwval Magic. Theosophists in St. Louis and the Strange Do—Startling Powers of Himalayan Hierophants—Men Who Write Letters With Their Eyes—A Spirit With an Army of Seventy-Two Legions— Strange Adventure in the Suburbs—A Philosophy Whose ‘‘Whiskers” are Gray. Things They The recent revival of that mysterious and marvelous scientific religion that has been is creating much talk throughout the extent of the country East and The New York and Boston papers are full of it once more; more espace is given to the subject than was given it nearly twelve years ago, when the movement was first called Theosophy West. started in the inetropolis; cases are reported of men and women who afteramore or less limited dip in ‘‘the mysteries’’ have journeyed over the mental road that leads to padded walls and barred windows, and have finally wound up their brief though excited career in lunatic asy- lums. Notaday passes bus some new and eager proselyte is found, who, caught like the moth by the glare of the candle, is swallowed up in the maelstrom of its magical and seductive influence, and im- mediately his life is made a mirror, in the depths of which are refiected the shadows of the world within. Although much has been written on the subject the real theories and doctrines of the Theosophists and their internal workings have been kept from the public with a jealousy that is, to say the least, most tempting to an outsider. The Theosophical Society is a secret society, as much so as are the Masons, with this exception: That never in the twelve years of its existence has a member been known to divulge matters which were given him under the seal of secrecy and pertaining to those things dealing directly with the silent workings of the order. It has been whispered that the reason of this very remarkable fact is that when the member becomes sufficiently well versed in the craft as to have possessed important information the betrayal of the confidence would end in no very pleasant resuits to the member’s person- ality. However that may be the fact remains the same and no,doubt has much todo withthe very firm faith of the vast majority of the Theosophists in the fairy tales emanating from the inner brotherhood in the extreme East. The idea generally prev- alent that to be a Theosophist one must necessarily become 4 believer in Buddha and the Buddhistic faith is incorrect. The Prince of Wales and the English statesman Bradiaugh are not Buddhists; that s Ci. dyed FF nh jj yas ib ob Fo The Circle of Solomon, U.S. A. Signal Service; Dr. George 8. Walker, the homeopathic physician; Judge E. W. Knott, the State Insurance Commissioner; Wm. Throckmorton; R. A. Campbell, the palmist and magic mirror manufacturer; Wm. A. Kelsoe, city, and Alexander Webb, assistant city editor of the St. Louis Republican; OC. . vJohnson, editor of the philosophic journal, The Piatonist, and quite anumber of others who are very conservative about the fact that they are con- nected with the society. The President of the St. Louis branch is Mr. Blliot B. Page, a very erudite and smoothly spoken young man who has made quite a reputation for himself in the journals and periodicals throughout the country which are devoted to the discussion of philosophical and scientific subjects. The lodge, itself, though it is now some three years old, accomplished but little in the way ofa dissemination of the teachings of the Brotherhood of Adepts untilarecent period, when new life was infused into it by the yalu- able acquisition of some of the gentlemen whose names are given above. The adepts themselves are known by their followers under the various titles of ‘‘Gurus,’’ ‘‘Mas- ters,’’ ‘‘Brothers,’’ and some, who havea decidea enchant for the more ancient names and titles, are called ‘‘Hierophants.’’ In the society there are three degrees or sec- tions, the highest of which, it 1s claimed, approaches very nearly, ifit does not merge by which they have traveled to reach that ad- vanced state is a rugged one, and the Theoso- hists who attempt to scale the empyeran eights must cover the same route. Members of the society arenow struggling under the pressure and this is the way they So it: First they are vegetarians; that is, they avoid all animal diet except butter and milk. Sec- oncly, they never indulge in any sort of alco- holic stimulation, not even strong cider. Third, they eschew the charms of the fair sex until they become veritable misogamists. Fourth, they cultivate a love for mankind that exceeds the wildest ambitions of the altruist. This sort of regime it will be confessed would prove a trifle annoying and inconvenient to the man accustomed to struggle with the world and ‘ts temptations, but it is the sole end and aim of the aspir- ant for occult powerand knowledge to over- come both of these. The hope which ani- mates the soul of the striver after things occult is pre-eminently a strong one, for his expectations are great. Should he succeed in his efforts and become an accepted pupil his reward, as he thinks, will be anything but a small one. They will then be able to perform the wonders’ which are every-day occurrences with his masters and these fall littleshort of the mira- cles recorded in the sacred writings and told in verse by poets of the fable.

The now deceased Bennett, formerly editor of the atheistic Free Thinker, was not a Buddhist, but wasa hard-working Theosophist. These are only three examples, but they are promi- nent ones, and will serve to verify the first statement. BUDDHISM AND THEOSOPHY have become more or less identified with each other for the reason that the alleged founders of the society are teachers of Buddhistic phil- osophy. These founders are said to be mem- bers of a powerful brotherhood of men who reside in the neighborhood of the Himalaya Panga rg and who, if all that is credited to rue, areavery r men indeed. The eh pamatioad so thal modern man of every day ideas. the main, hangs. And the whole thing is that any one who ready at a moment’s notice society has a lodge, or “‘branch called, and the membership isin itself Its scope is a large and a generous one. ranks can be seen men of = not a sage" ; as men o dignity and no wealth at all. banner, the millionaire becomes dollarless beggar becomes rich. neither race, creed nor caste, and in fact of the nage i objects of the society is eliminati excessively useful conveniences. In its St. Louis was one of the very first cities in America ufter New York, at which city the aa movement was inaugura- ted, to form a branch lodge,and, strange to say, 7 this was done quite re- cently. The membership is quite large, but there seems to bea remarkable lack of enthusiasm among the members and a strong antipathy to have their names mentioned in con- nection with the society. Many of the local Thevso- phiste are well known and highly respectable gentlemen. Among them may be mentioned: for the uthern ; Dr. Nidelet, the city Cor- Campbell, the mony” f ra res ed ; remov m i 3 1 creature elr more ignorant fel i HS Vatelor MEMBERS OF THE LOCAL SOCIETY.

In almost every large city in America the ’? as it is a study. considerable wealth, little Under its broad oor and the It knows one the on of these three undesirable but into, the lower degrees of the Brotherhood of Masters. A very large number of the Theosophists entertain a hope, the realization of which they anticipate inthe more or less remnote future, of attaining to that lofty height of sublimation, both men- tal and physical, which will war- rant their more intimate as- sociation with the adepts. The ordinary Theo- sophist, of the kind forexample found in St. Louis, is a member of the third or the lowest section; the second section is a step higher, it will be inferred, and the man who has attained this degree can afford to look down upon his fellows. When the first degree is reached the man, we are told, suddenly disappears from active life and joins the secret brotherhood, whose members are never seen upon the common, ordinary, every day earth. Primarily the ambitlon of the newly made and zealous proselyte is to fit himself for candidacy to chelaship. This word sounds a trifle strange to Western ears, but when translated means pupilship. Those who have read Lord Lyt- ton’s Zanoni will clearly apprehend just what is meant by chelaship when they remember the character of Clarence Giyndon, Glyndon was achela oF pupilof Mejnour whose marvelous get over matter is exceliently portrayed the author. Mejnour, the Theosophists claim, isatype of the average adept just as he exists in Thibet to-day, or at least is said to exist, for no very definite proofs of his exist- ence have as yet been thrown out to the eager inquirer. AS ALL THEOSOPHICAL THEORIES, teachings and tenets emanate indirectly from the adepts or brothers, and, as stated before, the relevance of Theosophy in its modern in- terpretation hangs in the main upon the question of theirexistence or non-existence. a few of their characteristics and alieged powers will not be uninteresting. They teach what is called Buddhism, a subject upon which volumes have been written, and which has re- cently created sensations in France and: England. The books have been reviewed over and over again, their weak points shown and their fine-spun theories held up to the public as highly illogi- cal and very absurd vagaries of diseased ana swe spe _ ge ey a the sametime they ch what is calle ecultism or se eee and the say = es or 6 exactness of pure physics: No at- tempt is made to drawa line of demarcation between Occultism and Buddhism, and as far as anybody outside the hal- lowed circle in Thibet knows no line has ever been successfully drawn. This much however is plain, that the adepts and their followers, for some reason or another, have a marked preference for Oc- cultism as by its cultivation and study the former ciaim thatthey have arrived at very progressed s at which they are as as the latter ee ot evolution, ancestors, the € f.

The stellar and solar systems of the limitless vault become the A BC of his education. As he pro- gresses in this secret lore he picks up little in- cidental acquirements on the way that enable him to travel from one en@ of the world to the other in a second’stime. He can trans- mit a physical body such as a eup, a saucer, a book, & #door-knob, or in fact anything tying around loose at the time to any distance desired with no more thanamere effortof the will. He can make an addition to a letter traveling through the mails without breaking the seal and with- out using apen orapencil. He can appear or disappear at will, like the historical ghost in the traditional barn-yard. He can use men for his own, purposes and direct their wills without the slightest knowledge ofthe fact on their part. In fact, he is the compendium of all that is gigantically marvelous and incredi- bly preternatural. TO BECOME SUCH A CREATURE is what the Theosophist has in view when he lacerates his stomach and throtties the innate yearnings of his nature. Mme. Helonia Paulina Blovatsky, the Re- cording Secretary of the society at Madras, India, has been often quoted in proof of the saucer-door-knob attribute and also of the pen- cilless-letter- writing faculty, but as her methods were exposed sometime ago by the London Socie of Psychical Research. few would feel inclined to accept an statement ofthe marvelous, with which #. nihilistic name might beconnected. There ‘is a mem- ber in St. Louis Fe yafyrtrtchon who has in his samples of the waiting permitted a reporter for to of a few lines thereof. make 8 tracing This tracing is re : duced faithful The process by made, if the is peculiar article of the present day. which as wee Msg A sto Oo s making , indeed. The form of each letter was first conceived in the brain of the mysterious writer and one ata time they were ‘‘precipi- tated’’ through the eye of the — falling onthe paperinthe position in which they appear in the cut. The writing ge 4 have been made as the member says it was, but its resemblance to the work done by an aniline pencil is very close and throws a doubt upon the genuineness of the article, notwithstandin that the gentleman who has kindly supplied it is absolutely convinced that his statement is correct, The letter, a part of which is copied above, is a personal letter, and therefore was not given to the reporter in full, as it touched upon other and private matters of nobody’s busi- ness excepting that ofthe receiver. The lat- ter, however, says ‘‘it was written by an adept, possessed of all the powers and more detailed above, and capable of performing still more wonderful feats than that of indit- ing a letter to a friend with one of his eyes only.’’ The Theosophists in St. Louis also state that they have been visited in person by one or two of the Masters, whomade the trip of 10,000 miles from Madras to St. Louis in a moment’s time, and returned bythe same route, pre- sumably some enterprising air line, on the identical night they crossed the ocean. course, in this statement the Theosophists have the public at a decided disadvantage, and their simple word must be either taken or re- jected, as itsuits their hearers. These visits, it is said, were made to the Branch Lodge here while a few of its select members were in session. UP TO A FEW MONTHS AGO the lodge was accustomed to meet in the top story ofone of the loftiest buildings in the city, so as to be as far removed from the con- taminating infiuences of the lower earth as possible. The hea! inysterious aspect of the room in_é whic they convened at- tracted not only the _ attention the people in the building, observant outsiders as well. There was no sign upon the door to indicute the character ot the frequenters and the unseemly hour of the night at which they met put their neigh- bors on the alert. Anumber of enterprising private detectives scented a rat and set their wits to work to uproot the mystery, but failed most signally in their endeavors. They watched the building day and night, and the agents who had the rooms at their disposal became uneasy and finally ' intimidated the watchers and called A halt to their impertinent inquiries. The agitation of the private detectives, however, bore fruit, and the Occultists changed their quarters. Their place of meeting isnow as secret as the most secrettemple of the Rosicrucians. The object of this profound secrecy in the transac- tions of the lodge cannot well be accounted for except upon the hypothesis that they are of a verv weird or magical character. This though is denied by many of their number, who while they admit that they are firm believers in magic, thatis, black magic or the science of controlling the spirits of the elements, hoid that it is a dangerous thing to practice. A well-known professional gentleman in €usy circumstances and who is also attached } tothe society has made more than common pecemnes in the study and investigation of the lack art, and once invited the reporter to his house to examine his library. The scribe was held spell-bound by the numbers of rare and costly books and manuscripts which he found and which their custodian tooka keen delight in exhibiting and explaining. One manuscript in particular cauglit the reportorial fancy trom the very stupendous induc®ments it held out tothe man whocould arm himself with sufficient courage to try the experiments given. Regu- lar conjurations were written out and the various circles and seals and apparatus de- scribed by which the operator couid call up from the vasty deep elemental beings empowered to shower upon him limit- less wealth, love of women and other little conveniences attractive tothe generairun of mankind. The reporter expressed a doubt as to the possibility of such marvels, and the ma- gician challenged him to test them. He pro- posed that the reporter, himself and a third friend take a trip to some quiet country locali- ty, the country beinga sine qua non of suc- cess, and an experiment be made. His propo- sition was readily accepted, anda week later was ftixed upon as the cate for the terrible or- deal. What the magician proposed to do wasto call up a spirit describedin the manuscript alluded to underthe name of Asmodai. is seal, as given in the manuscript, is given} herewith and the book said it should be made of gold. Judging from the description given of Asmodai he was, to use a slang phrase, a regular ‘‘lally cooler.’’ ‘*‘Asmodai,’’ said the book, ‘‘a great king, appears with three heads: first, like a bull; second, like a man, and third, like a ram with a serpent’s tail, belching and vomiting forth flames of fire out of his mouth. His feet are webbed like a goose; he sits on an infernal dragon, carying a lance anda fiag. He isthe first and chiet of the powers of Amaymon and goes be- fore all these. When the exorcist has a mind to call him let it be abroad and let him stand on his feet during the time of action, and with his cap off. For if it can be Amaymon will de- ceive him and cause all his doings to be wronged. As soon as the exorcist sees As- modai in the shupe as before said he shall cail him by his right name, saying: ‘ART THOU ASMODAI?’ and he will deny it and by and by he will come down to the ground. He giveth the ring of virtues, gives the love of woman, inflicts sores and rancorous ills, teaches arithmetic, geom- etry and handicrafts, gives full answers to all questions, can tell where treasures lie and xuards them and destroys the lives of men while they sleep. He governs seventy-two le- gions of spirits.’’ This was the kind of a spirit the magician proposed to call up for the reporter’s edifica tion, giving the latter his choice between ‘*Asmodai and Valefor,’’ aspirit who teaches h to stéal and murder without detection. The reporter picked out Asmodai as the less compromising and waited patiently for the day to arrive. The looked-for day arrived on time with its place inthe calendar and the three took an evening train fora western suburb, the magi- cian carrying allthe necessary apparatus in atraveling bag. Arrived at the destination midnight was awaited and thethree expectant individuals climbed a neighboring hill. The moon was at its full and asthe trio stopped at the summit of the hill, its beams glistened on the long grass through the interstices of the thick June foliage overhead. A level space was selected where the grass was shorter and the magician drew forth irom the oe a linen sheet upon which was traced in black a circle, nine feet in diameter, a model of which is given above. He then drew forth three an- tique looking receptacles resembling the re- ceivers for incense used by the Ritua a and placed them at equal distances around the circumference. From & a case, carried in his vest pocket, he half filled the re- ceptacies with a substance about the grain of sinall gunpowder, and when the reporter and the magician’s assistant had been beckoned tn- side the circle he announced that all was ready. He then set fire tothe powder with a tallow match and waited. The stuff, whatever it was, burned with a splutter and gave forth volumes of smoke, accompanied by a smell that was simply overpowering. Nearly suffo- cated the reporter dashed out of the circle, and in his flight overturned one of the lamps. This contretemps exas- perated the magician, and he _ fre- fused to go on with the experiment despite all entreaties. ‘‘Asmodai’’ he said was angered and could not be induced to ap- pear after what had happened. He further said that the opportunity of the reporter’s life had been lost, and that the legions of Amaymon would regard him with suspicion for the remainder of his natural existence.

The Carnival Parade—Progress of the Census —The Flyers at Springfield—A Model Dealer—The Herald Unlike Hamilet— Bicycle Budget. The wheelmenare very properly subordi- nating everything to the carnival parade, the unattached or non-club members displaying as much enthusiasm as the club members themselves, and sending their names with commendable promptness to Secretary Brewster, 309 Olive street, not as a promise to enter the parade, but as an aid to the cyclers’ census-taking. What this enthusiasm is can be shown by men- tioning the spirit shown by the Missouri Club at their meeting this week. When Capt. Brewster asked who would join the fambeau section every man present said: ‘‘I don’t know where Ioughtto ride, butI am qilling to go wherever I am placed.’’ Within the past week over 100 names were sentin and have been tabulated alphabetically. The distribution of the parade literature will begin at once, and each one on the list will get circulars, programmes and other information regarding the great procession. After getting this information every wheelman will find himself better prepared to make a decision. But there can be no hesitation on the part of any right minded cyclist who wishes to do his share for the wheel herides. There will be no slippery streets that night, the granite will be in the best condition for riding and everything will be made agreeable for the cyclers. Designs for whee! and costume are just now themes that ought to engage constant at- tention. It will not be an easy thing for every- body to get ideas for illumina- tion, decoration or costuming and the committee expect to be called upon to help some of these out. To dothis they will need a larger stock than they will evolve themselves and they ask every one who has an idea of decoration, etc., that he does not ex- ect to use himself to forward it to Secretary hroweter, so that somebody else may get the use of it. POPE’S STABLES. Of the pjayers now in training at Springfield Hendee, itissaid, looks the embodiment of good heaktth. His sun-browned face is in flat- tering contrast to that of last year, and he wears a ‘‘git thar’’ look, which signifies that the Englishmen are not going to sweep things as they did _ ago. Rowe looks the picture ofa fiyer, and wears the same plucky look that circled around the Hampden Park track last fall and smashed the world's records to small pieces. He has been training all the winter under Roberts of Boston, and his muscles are of ‘‘iron mold.’’ The veteran cyciist, Burn- ham, looks a foot taller than ever, and enjoys erfect health. Knapp does not change ma- ferially, yet he isin prime condition, and his weil-knit form betokens that those who don’t ride fast are going to come in behind him. This distinguished body of racers, the Boston Globe says, will probably, after the New En- giand tournaments, race at Chicago, St. Louis and Cleveland. This would be almost as bad as Prince and Eck’s races. TOO BAD HB’S GONE. A pasty of wheelmen the other day were dis- cussing the PosT-DISPATCH’S condemnation of some dealers’ niggardly policy which stands inthe way of the wheei’s progress in St. Louis, when one of them broke out: ‘‘ Well, you can talk all ag please, the whitest man that ever stood in St. Louis so far as cycling is concerned was Richard Garvey. There may be some oe against him, but wheeling in this city owes its present position inagreat measure to Garvey’s generosity. Oh, no, don’tshake your heads. I know what I’m talking about. No manin this crowd has ridden as long as I have and I was right on the ground when Garvey undertook the task of establishing cycling the face of a popular rejudice was sim- ply appalling. the old riders remember the pleasant little race meets that used to be held in cycling’s infancy in St. Louis? Well, do you know who got those up? Garvey, every time. And how did he do it? By going down into his own pocket. I can recollect well how Garvey would take cyclometers, lamps, saddie-bags, and other things out of his stock and put them up prizes. And he didn’t do this once, but he was always at it, and never lost an opportunity to boom wheeling. He didn’t confine himeelf to rac- ing, but was generous in all his relations with the wheel. Why, I’ve known that man to say to those who declined to ride because they couldn't afford it: ‘Why, hang it, man, don’t let that bother around and got a pa tor it as you ou see he knew whatthe wheel could do. He knew that a convert to it meant a lover of it, and he felthe would get his reward. Why did he go under then? Because he didn’t find out till too late that his generosity, unsupported, wouldn’t work the changes he hoped. If he had bad back of his broad, liberal course, the encouragement that is accorded some of the stingy, any oy! policies of to-day, he would be reaping his reward and right here in St. Louis too.’’ Notes.

Ducker’s appeal against his removal! from the Massachusetts Chief Consulship is jp. cludedin the questions to be voted on by nail. The Ramblers’ ramble is to Fenton. The Missouris’ is a double-barreled affair, as Capt, Brewster says. They willgo to Kirkwood in the forenoon and O'Fallon Park in the after. noon. Rowe modestly says that Hendee is riding faster this yearthan ever, and ifthey meet, as is expected, in the one-mile internat.onal race, the contest will bethe greatest one in the annals of bicycling. Lindell Gordon is expected to return within the next ten days from kansas City to stay in St. Louis permanentiy. He will fill a good big place left vacant by his absence, as he isa ‘*Rambler from ’way back.’’ Ex-President Henry W. Williams of the Massachusetts Bicycle Club has been pre- vented from riding this season, owing to trouble with his eves. He is the gentleman who wrotea year ago: ‘‘Never coast; always pedal down hill.’’ The five-mile L. A. W. championship which was voted to the Connecticut Club of Hartford, Conn., and declined when they decided to run under A.C. U. rules, bas en located with the New York division, and will be run at the Buffalo races in September. Dan Canary, the fancy rider, has scoreds tremendous success in Old England. His en- gagements extend far into 1887. He is shortly to make a tour on the Continent and at Christ- mas he will return to Manchester fora thir. + so ied engagement at one of the panto mimes. Several wheelmen have left their names with W. M. Brewster for the Indiana and Ohio tour in the nexttwoor three weeks. The advan- tages ofthis tour are apparent. The roads are the finestin the country, the people are hospitable as Sicilians, and the St. Louis party which was over there last month is abieto furnish the complete route, The first tour of the Division Touring Com- mittee is announced to leave St. Louis Friday evening, August 27, for Clarksville. The start will be made oat ghee § morning for a run to Frankfort, thirty miles north, via Louisiana; next day, seventeen miles to Hannibal; arrive there at noon, take 1 o’clock train to St.Louis, reaching here ati p.m. Ten men have already signified their intention of going. All expenses will not amount to more than §. A citizen of the United States, who recently arrived in Boston from a trip abroad, brought with him a tricycle, which he claimed to be exempt from duty as a personal effect. The collector, however, refused to admit it to free entry on the owner’s admission that he had used it abroad but once. The case was «p- pealed to the Treasury Department, which has sustained the claim of the importer that the machine had been in ‘‘actual use’’ abroui. Alex. Lewis is at Clarksville, trying to roll up ai bigger mileage in the wmonti than Capt. Brewster's record of 1,021 miles for June. This going off tospend one’s vacation along side of 4 twenty-mile stretch of good road, and pulting inalithe timein pumping the wheel aroun shows to what foolishness the mileage craze willleadaman. Srewster’s distance was rid- den at spare times, while he was carrying on his business in the regular hours of the day. H Gordon is conceded by all who have seen him race to promise much when his de- velopment into man’s estate comes. He has &@® savage spurt that fairly paraiyzes some of the older racers. Being young, he is over-ambitions and stands in great danger of exerting himself f the danger line and finding alli his high-biow" hopes break under him. he average cycler cares little whether his friend runs the risk of breaking down his constitution as loug a3 h® wins a race. An exchange says: ‘‘It certainly seems that some changes should be made in the rule that allows the President of the League of Amert!- can Wheelman to remove a Chief Consul from oftice without consulting the general mem)er ship of the State over which the said Chief Consul presides. There isa feeling of doubt in the minds of admirers of the ex-Chief Con sul of Massachusetts whether the Leacue members of that State would not prefer to s¢® him continue in office, yet the gentleman Cal not appeal to the members.’’ After printing the following the Boston Herald cannot say with Hamlet, ‘*I lack gall.
