HOFMEISTER Read Before the Medical Society of London a Paper on the Use of “CARLSBAD WATER,” of Which the Following Is an Abstract: In speaking of those diseases in which the uge of Carisbad Water is indicated I will con- fine myself to those in which evidence is given for thoroughly established usefulness. First are to be mentioned diseases of the stomach, among them and above all the true Chronic Catarrhal Inflammation, with sub- stantial changes of the mucous membrane, with ulceration and gathering of stringy and often somewhat offensive mucus. The unnatural motions of the stomach caus- ing pressure and belchings, the irritation of the intestines resulting in catarrh of the bow- els, and the inflamed mucous membranes are the most fruitful of all known causes of dis- ease. Out of them grow most kidney and liver troubles, diabetes, all rheumatic affections and gout. Ihave found that the unnatural mo- tions of the stomach cease, the intestinal troubles become soothed, and health results from the use of Carlsbad Water. The diuretic effect of this water, its quiet action upon the lining of the stomach, and its healing power upon the inflamed intestines are beyond all praise. GOUT is well recognized as arising from ex- cess of uric acidinthe blood. This theory is supported by the FAVORABLE ACTION of the Carlsbad Waters. Dr. Lustig of Teplitz issued a pamphlet wherein he recognized the great efficacy of Carlsbad Waters in RHEUMATISM, both acute and chronic, when taken COLD. Carlsbad Water is in no sense & mere purga- tive as most people believe, butisan alter- ative and eliminative remedy, which dissolves out tenacious bile, allays irritation and re- moves obstructions BY AIDING NATURE,and not by sudden and excessive stimulants as most cathartic remedies do. Its action is cer- tain and a cure when effected is permanent. Not infrequently patients have to use the Sprudel Salt in addition to the water, as a lax- ative. All the French Milan Hats, all shapes and 2 have been sold as high as Simplicity Of method is our real strength. It is very plain. We never touch cotton, shoddy mixtures or doubt- ful stuff. Our Clothing is in every case wool—of the best grade that can be sold at its price. Our Men’s Suits at $12.00 in Chevi- ots or Cassimeres are of American Wool, American manufacture, Wanamaker made, the best the price affords. So our Men’s Suits at $13.50, $15.00, $16.50, $18. 00, $20.00, 825. 00, 830.00, are each of wool, all of latest fashionable design, made in correct styles.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., May 30.—As the conven- tion hour approached this morning the dele- gates to the Prohibition National Convention began to gather in Tomlinson Hall, the place of meeting, which had been neatly and taste- fully decorated with bunting for the occasion. The only colors used were red, white and blue, and interspersed among the festoons were many mottoes appropriate tothe object sought to be attained by the believers in the third party movement. As the representatives of the various States filed in the forms of dis- tinguished leaders were recognized and greeted with applause. The arrangements for the admission of delegates and visitors were such as to prevent confusion, but the dele- gates were slow in getting intoplace. The first occurrence to excite general applause and cheering was the entrance of the New Jersey Young Men's Prohibition League, headed by one of their number bearing a golden crank of huge proportions. Cheer fol- lowed cheer in quick succession as the audi- ence caught sight of the representatives of the State from which the probable head of the ticket hails. Each succeeding delegation was warmly greeted, and thus much time was spent after the hour at which the convention was calied to meet had passed. It was 10:25 before Chairman Dickie of the National Committee rapped the convention to order and invited the officers of the W. O. T. U. to the platform with the members of the National mmittee. At this moment Miss Frances E. Willard appeared moving toward the platform and was greeted with enthusias- tic applause. RARY ORGANIZATION. Chairman Dickie then invited the past nominees of the party to the platform and as those present came in sight the audience broke into loud applause which was redoub- led and repeated when John P. 8t. John came forward. The formal organizing of the con- vention was proceeded with, after singin of America!“ by the assemblage, an rayer by Sam Small of Georgio. Mr. Dickle hen placed before the convention the name of Rev. H. OC. Delano of Connecticut for tem- rary chairman, who was unanimously see ected. Ool. Ritter of Indianapolis stepped forward at the same momert and made an ‘address of welcome, to which Chairman De- lano replied on behalf of the convention. The remainder of the — pr aoe organization sug- gested by the Natio Committee was then placed before the convention and formally elected as follows: Tempora Secretary, J: B. Oranfleld o Texas; First Assistant Secretary, Mrs. M. X. Brown of Cincinnati; Second Assistant Secre- „G. F. Wells of Minnesota. Delegate Needham of Kansas then stepped forward and presented Chairman Delano with a gavel made from the wood of the telegraph pole upon which Gov. St. John was hanged in effigy November 7 884, at Topeka, Kan. After a short address of thank by Tem- porary Secreta Cranfill for the honor conferred by his election, Gov. St. John ade a few remarks upon how it feels to be hanged in effigy. The convention then settled lown to business and on motion of Delegate Thomas of New York the roll of States and Territories was called forthe naming of mem- bers of the Committees on Credentials and Permanent Organization. After the call was completed,at the suggestion of Judge Black of Pennsylvania, the was ordered and made for the Committee on Resolutions and Rules. 1 was then taken at 12:66 un- P. m. DEFINITE AND DECISIVE. Mr. James G. Blaine Will Not Accept the Republican Nomination. New Tonk, May 30.—The Tribune of to-day publishes the following letter from Mr. Blaine: Whitelaw Reid, Eeq., Editor New York Tribune: My Dun S8rn—Since my return to Paris from southern Italy, on the 8th inst., I have learned (what I did not before believe) that my name may yet be presented to the National Conven- tion as a candidate for jthe presidential nomi. mation of the Republican party. A single phrase of my letter of January 2% from Fior- ence, which was deeisive of everything I had the personal power to decide, has been treated by many of my most valued friends as not absolutely conclusive in ultimate and oom contingencies. On the other hand lends equally devoted and disinterested have construed my letter as it should be con- strued, to be an unconditional withholding of my name from the National Convention. They have in consequence given their support to eminent gentlemen who are candidates for the Chicago nomination—some of whom would not, lam sure, have consented to assume that position if [had desired to represent the party u the presidential contest of 1888. If I should now, by speech or by silence, by commission or omission, permit my name, in any event, to come before the convention, I should incur the reproach of being uncandid with those who have always been candid with me.I speak ,thetefore, because Iam not willing toremainin a doubtful attitude. I am not willing to to be the cause of misleading a sin- 1 man among the millions who have en me their suffrages and their con- dence. I am not willing that even one ofmy faithful supporters in the a should think me capable of paltering ina sense with my words. Assuming that the presidential nomination could by any possible ehance be offered to me, I could not accept it in the minds of thousands of and The to Fecompense of labor in Europe, the of free trade in the United States would otreceive the support of one wage-worker ween the two oceans.

Senator Aldrich’s Views. By Telegraph to the Posr-D raren New YORK, May 8.—Senator Nelson W. Aldrich, en route from Rhode Island to Wash- ington, expressed himself yesterday on the political situation as follows: The action of the Demoerats in opposing the public discus- sion of the fisheries treaty was solely because they fear the tremendous exposure which will result. The Secretary of State will be shown up as having stultified himself on the ques- tion, and the Government will be placed ina Very unenviable position. I regard the com- ing debate as of the utmost importance to the Republican party. N „»The Democrats will nominate at St. Louis for Vice-President exactly whomsoever the President wishes. He has thew all in his arip, and they, will dance as he cracks the whip. „The Mills bin is dead, as defanct asthe body of Julius Cwsar. All the Government pulling oan’t resuscitate lt. The tariff question will, m my judgment, place the Republican porty . im power again. he result of the Chicago Convention is 4 sti in doubt. I would not be surprised tf, in Isay this authoritatively, but the view is an expression of individual opinion. There are two powerful influences at work the Re- publican perty. One is composed of the friends of Mr. Blaine, who depend to a great extent on him for political advancement. The knew it is lite or death to them, and they are determined that Mr. Blaine shall run, willy-nilly. They are very active, and exercise a tremendous pressure. Another element is composed of personal and political friends of Mr. Blaine, who are not only considerate toward the great leader, but are equally regardful of the interests of the Republican — These two antagonistic rings are in conflict, and it is an open ques- tion which will triumph. „t Mr. Blaine writes another letter reiter- ating the determination set forth in the Flor - ence letter, his friends will probably be able to dictate the nomination at Chicago. I would designate either Allison or Gresbam as the probable nominee in the event of Mr. Blaine belng absolutely out of the field. As regards the Vice-Presidency, should a Western man receive the nomination I incline to the opinion that L. P. Morton will receive it. The Thurman Boom. By Telegraph to tne Post-DISPATCH. Wasarnoctor, D. C., May 29.—Gov. Gray’s friends, and there are many of them in Wash- ington, do not like the talk about Allen G. Thurman for Vice-President on the Cleveland ticket. The proportions which the Thurman boom has suddenly taken on are far from pleasing to them and they are doing what they can to stop ite further growth. The Ohio statesman’s age and feebie health are the main arguments used by Gov. Gray’s sup- porters in heading off the Thur- man talk, although some of them 3 out that as Ohio cannot de carried y the Democrats anyhow, it would be better to take the candidate from Indianapolis. One thing that makes the Gray men downright mad is the suspicion some of them have that Thurman’s name is being used simply to kill off the Governor and other candidates now in the field, so as to leave clear ground for the presentation atthe last moment of whatever candidate the Administration pers decide —— Just how well founded is this sus- picion it is hard to say, but it exists, and it is not adding to the serenity of the Gray men. Mr. Allen W. Thurman, who left town yester- day, was not at all active in denying that his father could be induced to accept the nomina- tion for Vice-President, but took pains to say that information on that point would have to be sought from Mr. Thurman, Sr. Cameron and Sherman’s Boom. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPaTCcH. HARRISBURG, Pa., May 30.—Although Penn- sylvania has been a strong Blaine State, the efforts of Senators Oameron and Quay, in the interest of Senator Sherman for the Presi- dency, promise to give the Ohloan a majority of the delegation at least, even if Blaine should turnup at Chicago asa presidential candidate. Senator Cameron could have had the indorsement of the Pennsylvania Repub- lican Convention for President himself, but he thought the time for his nomination had not arrived, and the next best thing he could do was to exert his influence to prevent an ex- — in favor of Blaine, for whom Senator ameron has no love, because of a letter writ- en by the Maine man toa Presbyterian min- ter stating that the Camerons had left Scot- land for Scotiand’s good. Senator Cameron’s scheme proved a success, and, since the meeting of the State Convention he, with the assistance of Senator Quay and other prominent anti-Blaine men, has been striving hard to etthe Pennsylvania delegation to support enater Sherman. The recent conference be- tween Gen. Simon Cameron and ex-Gov. Al- ger, it is now thought, was inspired by Sen- ator Cameron with aview to scatter Blaine’s directing some of it to the Michi- gan candidate for President. It is probable that Senator Cameron will have the active support of Chris Magee,a Pittsburg Repub- lican leader, as well as that of his colleague, Senator Quay,in booming the presidential aspiration of Senator Sherman.

Business Suspended Nearly Everywhere—The Dead Heroes of the Late Civil War Re- membered—President Cleveland Reviews the Great Procession in New York—The Exercises at the National Capital. NEw Tonk, May 30.— Decoration Day opened cloudy and warm and the sky had a threaten- ing appearance the greater part of the day. Business was almost entirely suspended, the banks were closed and the custom-house and post-office was only open fora few hours for the entry and clearance of vessels. The city bore a holiday appearance, the flags flying at half-mast from the public and many private buildings. Many statues in and about the city were decorated with flowers and flags. The sport-ioving patrons attended ath- letic games, base ball, horse races, regattas and other amusements, of which there was an abundance, The procession was one of the largest and most successful that has ever turned out on a similar occasion, and thousands from all parts of the city thronged the sidewalks on either side of the line of march, and the large plazas in Madison and Union Squares through which it passed. President Cleveland, who reviewed the pro- cession, rose at 7 o’clock this morning, break: fasted with Secretary Whitney and his fami- ly at the Whitney mansion on Fifth avenue, where he spent the night. At 9:10 o’clock the President, accompanied by J. C. Limbeck, Chairman of the G. A. R. Memorial Committee, entered an open carriage and were driven to the head of the procession on Fifth avenue. Following in other carriages were Secretary Endicott, ex-Mayor Grace Secretary Fairchild, Secretary Whitney and Private Secretary Lamont. A Citizens’ Com- mittee under command of Gen. Curtis and the Old Guard, commanded Maj. McLean, acted as escort to the President and party. At 9:20 o’clock the procession started down Fifth avenue. The presidential party alighted op- posite the reviewing stand on Madison Square and took the places reserved for them. As the President appeared on the stand he was greeted by cheers from the throngs of peuple that filled the square. The President cowed several times in response. He then shook hands with several reporters and told them he felt well. ‘‘I hope to return to Washing- ton to-night,’’ he said to them, as I have business of importance to look after.’’ The First Brigade, N. G. 8. N. T., com- manded by Gen. Louis Fitzgerald. acted as escort tu the Grand Army of the Republic and Was the next to pass. The Richmond Grays accompanied the Ninth Regiment. As they passed the President every man saluteu and their colors were dipped. The President bowed several times in response und the Grand-Marshal Loeser, who rode at the head ofthe G. A. R. Posts, was accompanied by Buffalo Bill. There were fifteen divisions of Grand Army posts. All of them saluted the President. There were three colored posts, every man of which raised his hut as he pussed the President. Accompanying Naval Post 516, G. A. R., was a wagon on which was mounted a miniature man-of-war. As it passed the President three salutes were fired. The floral division was the last in the proces- sion. In this there were forty large wagons and trucks filled with flowers to be — whe on soldiers’ graves in neigh- or ing cemeteries. In this division were also several wagons filled with school chil- dren. Preceding the floral division was the American Flag Legion, each man in which carried an American flag. An- other feature of the procession was a mounted band of 100 of Buffalo Bill’s Indians. The absence of Mayor Abram 8. Hewitt from the reviewing-stand excited much om- ment among Grand Army men. He oa was not invited to be present, but the Grand Army men say he was, and that his knowl- edge of the fact that he has excited their re- sentment by his treatment of them » kept him away.

AN ACCIDENT CAUSED BY BOARDING A CABLE CAR IN MOTION. The Questien of Liability Before a Jury To- Day in Judge Lubke’s Court— Hazardous Customs of Gripmen and Passengers— Judge Seddon’s Announcement for the June Term—Business Under the Dome Disturbed by Noise From the Granite Pavement—Legal News and Notes. The trial of the damage suit of Pauline Hill against the St. Louis, Cable & Western Rail- way Co. progressed to-day before a jury in Judge Lubke’s Court. This is the claim of the widow of Prentiss B. Hill, who died January 3, 1888, from the effects of injuries received in an accident on the cable track onthe 27th of November last year. For Mrs. Hill it is alleged that the accident was caused by the negligence ofa gripman. Mr. Hill desired to board a cable car, the platform of whieh was wet and slippery. He was at the Twelfth street crossing at the time, and it is alleged that if due care had been observed by the gripman hecould have reached the car seat in safety, but there was a sudden jerk which threw him offthe step under the car and he was dragged some little distance be- fore the car was stopped. He was so serious- ly hurt about the head and various parts of the body that he died a few weeks later. For the company it was contended that Mr. Hill’s own negligence caused the accident; that under the provisions of a city ordinance the cars are only allowed to stop at the far crossings; that the car in question had not approached the far crossing where it was intended to stop, but that Mr. Hill made an attempt to board the car while it was still in motion and in doing so he fell under. On the other hand testimony was offered to show that it was not the custom of the Cable 1 ae to stop at the far crossings for @ passengers but simply to slow up. District Attorney Bashaw was placed on the stand to prove the — . — custom in that regard. He is a regular pat - ron of the line, residing on Lucas avenue, near Thirty-second street. His knowledge however was based on his own personal ex- perience and he was held not to bea com- petent witness as to the general usage. The Granite-Paving Obstacle. The following announcement has been made with reference to the cases for trial at the June term in Judge Seddon’s court: ‘‘The docket of Court No. 2 has been set to June 18, owing tothe interruption of business during the warm weather caused by the noise from the granite pavement no jury cases will be set after the 18th of June, asit is impossible to hear the evidence with open windows. When application, however, priorto June shall be made by both parties the court will make a 2 setting of jury-waived cases up to uly 1. The Divoree Docket.

Allen; decree of divorce granted plaintiff. William E. Ward vs. Emma E. Ward, decree of divorce granted — John Kemp vs. Emma Kemp; petition of the plaintiff dismissed and decree of divorce granted the defendant on her cross-bill with restoration of maiden name. A YOUNG WIFE’S INFATUATION. The Court took under advisement the case of August G. Lindemuth against Elizabeth M. Lindemuth. In this case testimony was of- fered to show that Mrs. Lindemuth became infatuated with a youth named Spies, since deceased, and that she wasin the habit of meeting him by appointment in the parks and at other piaces. The matter became the talk of the neighborhood and at length her husband told herthat he could not tolerate it any longer. Mrs. Lindemuth admitted her affection forthe youth, which caused great anxiety to his parents. A New Trial Wanted.

Lonpdon, May 30.—Mr. Winans has just given notice of his intention to quit the extensive deer forest at Kintall, in Rosshire, which he rents from Lord Lovat, who is the lessee of the late Sir Alexander Matheson’s trustees. The rent of this ground amounts to £1,600 a year. A ROYAL VISITOR. The King of Sweden is to arrive in London this week from Lisbon and will be present at the state ball at Buckingham Palace next Wednesday. The Prince and Princess of Wales are to give a dinner at Marlborough House in his honor. POLITICIANS IN A PREDICAMENT. Gen. Boulanger, M. Clemenceau, the repre- sentative of one of the great Powers at Paris and several other diplomats met the other day at the table ofa professional diplomatist. The latter has no political prejudice of any kind, is extremely amiable, is wealthy a has a handsome wife who enjoys filling salon with the lions of the season. Before Gen. Boulanger went on his trip to the Nord she invited him toone of her Thursday din- ners. He wrote, however, to say that he could not come,but promised“ une revanche’’ on the first Thursday be was able to dine out after his return from his stumping tour. This was forgotten and a dinner was given by the diplomatists in question in com- pliment of M. Clemenceau, the day fixed for it being Thursday. Much to the discomfiture of the hostess, Gen. Boulanger, mindful of his promise, made his appearance shortly before M. Clemenceau arrived. When the latter saw the General there he for a moment suspected that he was the victim of some intrigue and his face darkened, but he soon appreciated how matters stood. Gen. Boulanger and he sat on each side of the hostess, and, not to catch the eye of each other, they turned their backs to her while at the table chatting gayly with their neighbors on the other side. The Ambassador above referred to as one of the guests was unexpectedly pre- vented from coming in time for dinner, but dropped in toward the termination thereof, Gen. Boulanger was the first to leave. EMPEROR FREDERIOK. It is scarcely to be wondered at, but is none the less to be regretted, that the present interlude in the Charlottenburg tragedy should once more de giving rise to hopes for which there is unfortunately & shade of foundation. It may be true that Prof. Virchow has found ne cancerous ele: ments in the matters which he lately exam- ined. But this negative evidence proves nothing whatever in sucha case. The state- ment that the learned professor has now given a positively favorable opinion is simply in- credible except on the supposition that his brain has undergone some kind of sympa- thetic mummification during his re- cent exploits as an archeological resurrectionist in Egypt. Another statement which was made not long ago with some pre- tense of authority was that the disease from which the German Emperor was suffering is now believed to be consumption of the throat, which is absolutely idiotic. Certain other theories of amateur diagnostians which have been widely current in asotto voce kind of way and which need not be more particularly referred to are equally groundless. The truth is that there has been little or no doubt all along among the doctors as to the nature of the disease. But as by the Prussian constitu- tion no one suffering from a malady declared incurable can ascend the throne, it was neces- sary for them to dissemble. A LOGICAL ATTITUDE. The attitude of the Irish members of Pariia- ment toward the papal rescript is a perfectly logicalone. The Pope has delivered an ab- stract opinion on morals. 80 far he is within his right. ‘‘Man,’’ says the Pope, ‘‘ought to pay his debts.’’ So far every one will agree with His Holiness. But a debt means a just debt, and the Pope is not in a position to know whether the landlord exactions in Ireland are just debts. On this it is for the Irish to de- cide. The first debt of the Ixish tenant is to himself. His right to live by the fruit of the land that he cultivates is a natural one, inherent in the very idea of tenantcy. The right of the landlord only commences after the first condition has been fullfilied. Where the landlord endeavors to make his right antecedent to the tenant’s right, the lat- ter is justified in refusing to recognize this perversion of natural law and to join in any combination designed to give effect to this refusal. For instance, if the Italian Gov- ernment were to make a law taxing all the priestly incomes of Italy 80 per cent, it is clear that His Holiness would be justified in tell- ing the Italian priests to combine against such an exuction. With regard to boycotting, the Pope himself inoulcates it. In his opinion the Italian Government is to the Papal States what the landlords and the castle are to Ire- land. He therefore deciines to have anything to do with the Government, and calls on all to join him in boycotting it. HENRY LABOUCHERS.

Possibility of the Rector Resigning—A Ques- tion Agitating a Fashionable Church Changing to a System Generally in Vogue —The Effect on the Pastorate. The Episcopal Church of the Holy Com- munion, at Twenty-eighth and Washington avenue, is now having an interesting diecus- sion about pews. Just what the outcome will be nobody can tell, Itseems tobe in the air now for the local Episcopalians to bring reforms to a head. Possibly it may be contagious. The quieting effect of the settlement of the diocesan division question has had much to do with it. That question had been on the carpet to annoy and disturb for years. But the late convention took hold of it and put it out of the way. Holy Communion’s vestry has an idea that it ought to adopt some such sort of action regarding the question of revenue. The church is a fashionable organization in the aristocratic portion of the city and is one of the strongest repre- sentatives of Episcopalianism in the city. Re- cently the vestry thought it advisable to change the system of raising the church revenue. which is said to have been falling somewhat behind. Underthe old plan the envelope sys- tem wasin operation. This of late has not seemed satisfactory to the vestry and Monday night it held a meeting to consider the subject. It was proposed that a minimum price be put on each pew and that it be not occupied ae by the party paying the price. ormerly the parishioner has been allowed to take a pew and contribute what he pleased irrespective of the location of his seat. It was the almost unanimous opinion of the vestry last assemb- led that the change should de made, as the opinion was general that the re- form would add to the revenue and be more satisfactory all around. But some were afraid that such a radical change from customs in vogue near! two decades might not be acceptable to the par- ish entire, and as a result of this conservative 2 it was voted to refer the mat- te o a parish meeting to be held Monday. June ll. The rector of the Church, Rev. P. G. Robert, is opposed to the proposed change and was present at the meet- ng Monday. He spoke vigorously and freely againstthe proposition to change, but in spite of his views the sentiment crystallized as already stated. EFFECT ON THE RECTOR Episcopalians will be large! interested in this discussion. the other prominent Episcopal churches in the city havea pew rental system, and although the proposed sane at Holy Communion is not precisely the adoption of the others’ system, it is near enough practical But further than this, attention will be called to the affair by the probability of the rector resigning. Mr. Robert ls a man of positive views, of strong mind and firm convictions, and when his opinions are thrust aside jn an way, thage who know him for some decided action on his part. vestry is composed of ae John H. nent, Senior Warden; T. B, Blake, Secretary; E. G. Simmons, . Skinker, Charlies Hamilton, B. G. Chapman, W. R. Pye, Frank 8 P. Dyer, Charles Clark and W. C. * of these gentlemen was seen to-day o the probability of the rector resigning in 2 of the stand taken by the ves try. He said that there was an im- pression that such a result might happen. He declared, however, that everything was serene and lovely and that there was not the slightest intention on the part of a member of the vestry to antagonize their worthy rector. It is simply a question of expe- diency, and though they appreciate the value of the rector’s advice they feel the re- sponsibility resting upon them as business men and as lay guardians of the church’s tem- — interests to administer its affairs as their usiness wisdom prompts. Mr. E. C. Simmons, one of the pillars of the parish, said: ‘‘This is simply a question of revenue, We propose to change from the old envelope system, that is all. There is no bit- torness, us the question is merely one of policy. Ho about the rector’s resigning?’’ ‘‘Il know nothing about it and did not know it was thought of. I do not see why anybody should think that such a phase attaches to the simple discussion.’’ — u- — ————— — DIED. FUNKHOUSER—The morning of May 28, vm GINIA, beloved wife of Dr. Robert Funkhouser.

For three years I was almost crippled with an aw- fulsore leg from my knee down to my ankle; the skin was entirely gone and the flesh was one mass of disease, Some physicians pronounced it incurabie. Ithad diminished about one-third the size of the other and I was in a hopeless condition. After trying all kinds of remedies and spending hundreds of dol- lars, from which I got no relief whatever, I was per- suaded to try your OuTICURA REMEDIES, and the re- sult was as follows: After three daysI noticed a de- cidedchange for the better and at the end of two monthsI was completely cured. My flesh was puri- fied and the bone (which had been exposed for over a year) gotsound. The flesh began to grow, and to- day, and for nearly two years past, my leg is as well as ever it was, sound in every respect, and nota sign of the disease to be seen. 5. G.

The Real Estate Exchange was the center of interest to-day for nearly all the agents in the elty, as most of them had closed their offices inhonor of Decoration Day, but they went to the exohange, where there was quite an assembly of prominent investors and speculators who were there to pick up what bargains they could at the great co-opera- tive auction sale, a recognized exclusive feature of the business of Fisher & Co. Lanham & Sutton did the auctioneering as usual on these occasions, but Mr. 8. J. Fisker made the preliminary announcement. In ad- dressing his audience he took occasion to ex- plain the plan of the sale which provides that each owner, in the event of refusing to convey the property sold, shall pay to the successful bidder. who pays $100 earnest money down, $30 as a forfeit, within forty-eight hours after the property is knocked down by the the auctioneer. This was the only protection owners hadand each of them had obligated himeelf to abide by the consequences and had positively stated that no one had been author- ized to do any by-bidding for them. This by- bidding, or ‘‘Peter Funking’’ feature of auc- tion sales, was denounced by Mr. Fisher in vigorous terms. He threatened to expose any man who was caught at it, and, futher- more, offered a premium of $25 to any person on the floor who would give information lead- ing to the conviction of any person guilty of the despicable act. With one excep- tion the sale would be conducted in strict accordance with the plan laid down in the catalogue—the exception referred to the sale of the Garrison Hall property which in deference to the owners wishe’s was sold a few days ago. THE SALES. Judge Lanham then called for bids, the t piece offered being located on Forest Park boulevard, south side, about Wo feet east of Forest Park; lot 215x150 feet; block 8886; sidewalks made, street graded, double row of shade trees, with a small park in the center of the boulevard, being estab- lished by the city by ordinance as a park.

RESUMING THE OO-OPERATIVE AUCTION. The afternoon sale announced to commence at 20’clock was half an hour late 1 Mr. Fisher spoke of the ridiculously low bids that had been made at the forenoon session, and laid stress upon the fact that own- ers had no voice in the sale—purchasers had it all their own way, consequently local pride, if nothing else, should be sufficient to prevent men of ample means in attendance from allowing property to be bid off for less than half its value, as was done during the fore- noon. The salethen opened again, piece No. 26 being offered. It is a dwelling, No. 1200 South Ew ing avenue, extending from Hickory and Rutger street, known as the homestead of the late R. M. Parks.

B. Christman, owner. This property was started with an even bid of $5,000. It took a good deal of time to raise it $1,000 more but when it got to that point bids of $25 and $50 each advanced the price to $6,275 when the property was knocked down to E. D. Holthaus. AT PRIVATE SALE. Charles H. Bailey sold 100x120 feet of ground on the north side of Pleasant avenue, between Penrose and Perry, at 312. 78 per toot to W. Reeder and a lot of 25x120 feet on the west line of Grove avenue, between Lee and Penrose street at er foot. This property belonged to the Union Press Brick Do., and these sales resulted from the recent augtion sale of property in that locality, which was conducted by Mr. Balley. A SENATE OF SECRETARIES.

NEw YORK, May 80.—The reports that the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad Co. had the wealth to buy up the Erie system in order to form a transcontinental line, and later that the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy was to form a pool with the Pennsylvania road and one of the Pacific lines to accomplish the same end were contradicted when they were afloat re- cently, and yet the conferences between the officials of the roads mentioned were evidence that something was up. It now appears that a step is contemplated which may ultimately bring two great systems or combinations into antagonism. THE SANTA FE PEOPLE began it, and when the Quincy officials found out whatwas going on they probably con- ferred with the friends of the Pennsylvania system to devise a scheme to head off the former. The first active measures were taken by the Santa Fe combination at a meeting held in this city on May 20 by the General Managers of the principal roads interested. The project is for an interstate dispatck extending from Boston and New York to San Francisco, by which freight is to receive the same careful attention as passen- gers, and is to be hurried over the continent in little more than half the time it takes at present. Only the principal roads that are to form the main line, such as the Fitchburg, the Delaware & Hudson Canal, the Erie, the Nickel Plate and the Santa Fe were represented at the rage of managers, but many of the managers of the minor roads had been consulted and evinced a willingness to enter the scheme. Altogether there are more than a score, and they are to act as feeders to the main line. THE MAIN LINE will be composed thus: From Boston west, the Fitchburg road connecting with the Erie at Binghampton; over the Erie to Buffalo and over the Nicke! Piate to the junction ofthe lat- ter at Streator with the new Chicago branch of the Santa Fe, some 100 miles southwest of Chi- cago via the latter route to Kansas Oity and by the old Santa Fe to California. The prin- cipal feeders East will be the Boston, Hoosac Tunnel & Western, Delaware & Hudson Canal, the Philadelphia & Reading, the Fall Brook Coal Co., the Wheeling & Lake Erle, the Lake Erie 4 Western, Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton, the Chicago & Alton, the Indiana, Dlinois & Iowa, the Ein- cinnati & Mackinaw, the Cincinnati, Wabash & Michigan, the Louisville, New Albany & Chi- cago. The total mileage will probably be about 30,000 miles and it will be the most ex- tensive system organized in this country. The scheme was so far advanced that at the meet- ing on the 20th General Freight Agent H. O. Diehl of the Indiana, Bloomington & Western was appointed General Manager of the Interstate Dispatch and the headquarters are to be at Buffalo. Charles F. Oase was appointed general Eastern agent, and his office will be at 345 Broadway. These two men have in charge the initial organiza- tion. Nearly all of the managers of the differ- ent roads have signed the Contracts, and the success of the enterprise is said to be assured. THERE WILL BE A SPECIAL EQUIPMENT of cars for carrying the freight of the dis- patch, of which each road will furnish its quota, based upon the mileage, which prin- ciple willalso determine the distribution of earnings. The motive power of the different roads will be used to pass the cars on from one line to another. As far as possible also the employes of the roads themselves will handle the merchandise. But the pool will have its own special solicitors and agents at the principa polnte along the great system and also a ll of’ officials. There will Board of Directors, consisting of one repre- sentative from each of the lines interested, and this board will meet in the latter part of June to organize. The fast service will be- long only to the main line at present. Read freight along the points thereon will be passe on from Boston to San Francisco in eight days, where it takes from thirteen to fifteen at pres ent. Through sections will leave Boston and New York once every day at the start, and oftener as trade demands. FREIGHT-TRAFFIC MANAGER VALLIANT of the Erie road talked freely yesterday about the project. For the traffic East from San Francisco, he said they would make a spe- cialty of import business, principally teas and silks from China. They will connect with all the steamship lines at that port. The Santa Fe people had taken the initiative in the com- bination, and this freight movement was their method of getting into New York, which has been so much talked about and speculated up- on. He said that this new venture would un- doubtedly bring about other combinations amongthe trunk and transcontinental lines and an interesting competition in traffic. The dispatch is to go into formal operation on quly 1. The managing officials will be in their offices on June 16. In the meantime Messrs. Diehl and Case are busy organizing the departmental service. - = —_— EAST-BOUND VESTIBULE SERVICE. The Time of the Fast Train Out of St. Louis Decided Upon. The plan to give a through fast vestibule- train service between St. Louis and New York, which was suggested by the Post-DispaTcu, is nearing completion rapidly. The time schedule from St. Louis to New York has been determined upon, and all the important de- tails of the plan have been definitely settled. The information comes from a high source in the Vandalia management that the Pennsylvania management have agreed heartily with the proposition decided upon 7 the Vandalia officialsand Mr. McCrea, eneral manager of the lines west of Pitts- urg and will push the work of preparation as much as possible. The time out of St. Louis is practically that mentioned as probable in the interview with General Passenger Agent Ford in the Post-DIsPpaTca recently when the first newa of the plan was published. The train will leave St. Louis at Ba. m., and will arrive in New York not later than (p. m. It is possible after the service gets in good shape this may be improved. The time outof New York has not yet been decided. It will be improved, however, in the same proportion as the east-bound time. A Special Press Train. Mr.-George W. Boyd, Assistant General Pas- 'senger Agent of the Pennsyivania Road, was in town yesterday arranging for the trip of the Weshington newspaper men to the Convention over the Penn- sylvania 4 Vandalia lines. Mr. started for Harrisburg this mornin return with the correspondents. e Penn- syivania will furnish an elegant special vesti- buled train for the press, th three coaches and a combination dining-room and din- ing-car, which will be fully equipped with wet and dry necessaries. It is expected that there will be at least sixty-five corres- pondents on the train. The special train will run through without stoppi will be made from Thursda at 10 o'clock, expected that the train will reach St. Louis on Friday afternoon about 30 clock. The party — be returned to Washington in the same ay. Mr. Boyd said that he was not attending to the promised vestibule service between St. Louis and New York over his system and the Van, but that he had no doubt it would be put on in a short time. A Vestibuied Train Experiment. The action of the Wabash Railway in putting on a vestibuled train between 8s. Louis and Chicago will be watched with considerable ‘| Interest. It is to some extent in the nature of room and buffet car compartment and four- teen-section sleeping cars. The train will be exhibited on Saturday, be- tween 2 and 4 o’clock in the oon, at Union Depot, and will make the first run that night to Ch „ a similar train starting from Ohicago the same evening. It is prom- ised that the cars will be rich and handsome in fitting and furnishing. Texas Cattle and Crops. Mr. John Nesbitt, the Live Stock Agent of the Chicago & Alton, returned to-day from a trip through Texas. He says that the State never wasin better condition nor the crop 8 finer. All of * crops n 888 condition, an the coun- try looks like 4 garden. In the southern part ofthe State the corn crop has matured and roasting ears are in seasoh. As for cattle which is the subject of greatest interest to him, he says he never saw them in better condition. They are looking fine and are fat and there is every prospect ofa heavy shipment to market. The cattie men are Te encouragingly and are fairly well satis- fied with the prices for fat cattie. Cotton Belt General Managership. General Superintendent H.G. Fleming of the St.Louis, Arkansas & Texas Railway is in town, preparing to relieve General Manager Homan, who will leave the service of the road ina day ortwo. The duties of the office, as has been stated, will be shared by President Fordyce and Mr. Fleming. The latter will remain at Texarkana, where his headquarters now are.

Luck is really the least important factor in betting, and when you heara man say that he’s got bad luck you can put him down as a man who does not know how to pet. In some cases, of course, a rank outsider will come inand win, beatin several good horses, cracks sometimes, an then the ‘lucky’ man, who bet on the short one, says it’s luck. But the scientific better knows differently. He knowsthat the short horse isa good one and has been watchin him right along, knows what he can do an therefore is not surprised. This man they call Pittsburg Phil, who has had such phe- nomena! good fortune in betting, is one ot the most scientific betters since the time of the celebrated ‘Plunger’ Walton. He bets like Walton did. He keeps a close record of the various horses through the whole circuit and he doesn’t waste his time in winter either. on a short horse, assured that that mighty good time either in practice orsome race prior to the present, of which not much notice was taken. Pittsburg Phil knows the record of every horse he bets on, and then taking previous time into consideration with present form he puts up his money. Whenever he can get good form with fast time he ‘plunges’ on the horse, regardless of what the bookmakers or anyone else think of the horse, and the consequence is that he wins. Heis successful because he is truly a ‘follower of the turf’ in every sense of the word. His money is not made on favor- ites, though he sometimes bets on them, but on the horses that long odds are given on. One of the most scientific bettors on the turf to-day,’’ continued the turTtite, ie Mil- ton Young of Kentucky. Young doesn’t both- er his bead about favorites any more than does Pittsburg Phil, but goes on form alone. The bookmakers don’t know half as much as they are credited with, and the reason they make money is because the public play right into theirhands. How long do you suppose that ring over there under that shed would last if every man who puts up his money were as careful and cautious as Pittsburg Phil or as Milt Young? „ the whole ring would be cleaned out in one day. Many turimen like the Dwyers, Ed Corrigan and others bet for the sole purpose of making money. They will bet on any horse (whether their own or not) that they think will win. The Dwvers, though, are heavy betters, and back their own horses mainly and make big losses or wins. Others, like Haggin, Barnes and Lucky Baldwin, bet just for the sport of the thing and always back their own stables. Baldwin, in particular, isa man that is more proud of his fine horses than anything he’s got and he bets on them merely out of pride. In this way he fools a great many people who follow him around and watch him. I saw him one day when he made a tour of the bookies and put up $500 on one of his colts. The news or uickly, and there was a big rush for the colt in the stands. That $500 of Baldwin’s made the colt the favorite for the race, and he ran third. He never had the least show for winning, but Baldwin, not knowing the form ofthe other starters, just put on a half thou- sand to make it interesting, and he swamped a lot of small fry who didn’t have sense enough intheir pates to filla thimble. Of course there are some men who bet blind and win, and they are lucky sometimes, but a blind better will be as sure to lose in the end as a stone falls to the earth when thrown up into the air.’’ Florence McAuliffe’s Big Win. Considerable surprise and comment was caused about the betting stand Monday when it was posted on the board that the French mutuels on the first race paid $100.70. This is an unusually large sum for the mutuels to pay, and the fortunate possessor of the ticket was probably the most surprised man on the track. The gentleman who made this very fortu- nate win was Mr. Florence McAuliffe, a well- oung druggist. Just as the betting was closing he chanced to pass by the mutual machine and noticed that no tickets had been sold on Hilda. He handed a §$2 bill up to the clerk, saying he would buy a ticket on Hilda just forfun. Hegottheonly one sold. The clerk laughed as he gave it to him, and when Hilda came through the mud first under the string Mr. McAuliffe strolled down to see what his ticket would pay. When he found the figures he called three or four of his friends together and told them what he had won, at the same time suggesting that if they didn’t believe it to come along and see him draw the money. The party walked up tothe paying teller and Mr. McAuliffe, handing up bis ticket said: What did 1 pay for that?’’ Two dollars, said the clerk, and you were bloody lucky to get it.’’ The clerk then turned over the money to the winner. Fifty-three tickets had been sold at N, and, with the commission out, left $100.70 on the winning horse. How Gaffney Stopped Anson. Speaking of his early experience in the League, Umpire Gaffney says: Tour question about having trouble with ball-players reminds me of my first encounter with Anson. It was at Detroit during the sea- son of 1886. Ihad not been umpiring long, and had been repeatedly warned about Anson. was told that the big captain would sit on me at the least provocation. I had confidence in myself, however, and decided that when he — 17 his bulldozing capers he would hear me, „Well, I did not have long to walt. It was during one of the Ch it games that — the ball to er to catch one of Flint threw the ball to Pfeffer, who made a bluff at Thompson. Not out!’ cried 1. ‘What!’ exclaimed Anson, walking toward me boiling with — ‘* Anson, this will cost you $10.’ ** es, and it will cost you your position, ou — — 70 ‘Fifty dollars more! That makes it $60.’ ‘**Whbhy, you insignificant little Irish——j; what do you mean?’ Fifty more!’ cried I, ‘that makes it $110 and I'll stay with you a week. If you can stand it I can.’ That ended the matter there. Anson went back to his base and I have not had any trouble with him since. The players told bim he was wrong and thatI was right, and we made up. But he had to pay the $110 just the same, never allow a player to argue a point in play. When I say a thing I mean it, and I would sooner die standing up than alter — decision. Of course, I may make a mis- take in calling a ball for a strike when a bats- man strikes at it and change the ruling, but I’ll never alter any other decision.“ Ball Players’ Nicknames. Nicknames are common in the base ball world. Nearly every member of the Red Stocking host has a pet name that is more fa miliar to the public than his own, says the Oin- cinnati Times- Star. Did you ever hear any- body call Baldwin Clarence? He is plain oe | Kid to the great majority. John A. McPhee looks queer, but ‘‘Biddy’’ has a fa- miliar sound. Nicol’s given name, Hugh, is be ever pronounced, and everybody calls him Little Nie, John Corkhill is ‘*Pop’’ and ‘‘Pap.’’ To Reillx's name John added the descriptive prefix ‘‘Long.’’ W. W. Carpenter is the way the Reds’ third baseman signs his letters, but to the throng he is just **Hick,’’ a contraction of Hickory, which title was given him years ago before he played with the Worcesters in the league. ebeau (whose other name is ws is called „White Wings’’ and Hard Gall,’’ and for a time last year it was Tin Can! and „Tea Box.’’ Keenan, Mullane, Fennelly and Viau escape. In St. Louis O’Con- nor is called Monkey, but that et name is never used here. Jack doesn’t de- serve it. Smith is called ‘‘Smitty’’ by the boys, and Kappel’s name Hen has been boiled down to ‘‘Hennie.’’ Serad is called „Chester and Gentleman William.’’ Last spring when he shut St. Paul out without a hit he was promoted to Colonel.“ All teams are just as bad. In Chicago these names are bestowed upon some of Anson’s men: Silver Flint, Fido Balawin, Dandelion Pfeffer, Whiskers Williamson, Dad Clark, Sandy Anson, Rooney Daly, Kinnikinnick | Kroc and Wienerwurst Darling.

Fogarty tried hard to have the Philadelphia Club sign Borchers, but they wanted time to consider it. Ten thousand dollars is the re- lease card now pinned on the box, so says the Chicago Inter Ocean. These are two of the secrets of Capt. Co- miskey’s success: First, he insists upon being obeyed implicitly and assumes all responsi- bility; second, he never orders one of his men to do what he would not do himself—that is, he sets the example and his men follow him, having unbounded confidence in his judgment, 1 nerve and — ih timore vum. Gaffney's umpiring this season has been re- — = fine. Gaff is a man who takes a pride in his calling. He makes a study of it and looks into every little detail. He works hard to please players, spectators and officials. He is active and has not a lazy bone in his body. He hustles to every place when a close decision is likely to occur and gives his opin- ion as he sees it. He is not a home umpire and allows no back talk from the players. His work alone is worth the price of admission.— [Cincinnati Enquirer. The Teemer-Gaudaur Race To-Day.

The Police and Work-House Committee Un- expectedly Make a Report, but Offer No Re Cons of the Bill in the House Deferred for a Week— Delegate E. F. Stone Proposes Some Amendments—An Appropriation for Ex- periments by the City—No Let-Up to the Agitation. The ordinance for the prevention of the smoké nuisance was last night returned to the House of Delegates from committee with the following message? nam Aon @4 an 4 om 4 ono Mr. 8 Work-h the emission of dense t they have considered without recommenda- Chairman. This message was a great surprise to friends of the bill, who had been led to believe that the committee would hear further testimony on the bill on Friday afternoon. DELEGATE COSSMAN spoke tothe bill when it was put upon its passage. He said he objected to imposing upon manufacturers such burdens as were proposed inthe ordinance. He instanced the Helmbacher Forge Co.’s works as being with- out means to suppress the smoke, and he did not believe any device existed that would pre- vent the emission of large volumes of smoke from puddling furnace stacks. Delegate Mohan was also opposed to the bill, and DELEGATE HAYES said he did not think sucha bill should be passed until the city had carefully tested the devices in existence and demonstrated the practicability of preventing the smoke. THE AUTHOR OF THE BILL. Delegate E. F. Stone repeated the state- ments he had made in committee. He did not want to injure the manufacturers. The object ofthe bill was to benefit the people. The smoke could be abated. The fact had been demonstrated time and again. The members of the Police and Work-house Com- mittee had seen the smoke pre- vented at three factories in the city. However, as the opposition to the bill was so strong he would move to lay the bill over for one week, and by a practically unanimous vote his motion was carried. The bill then will be onthe calendar for consideration on next Tuesday, June 5, but as the Democratic Convention meets on that day, the House will robably not meet. The consideration wiil Be necessarily postponed, and it is now prob- able thatthe bill can make no further prog- ress until after the summer recess. That does not mean the bill is killed or that the agitation will cease. MR. STONE said this morning: ‘‘I have been willing that the ordinance should be amended and was lad to hear it discussed in order that its de- ects might be brought out. I am convinced that there is as much in proper firing of fur- naces as there is in devices, and if all furnaces were proves attended to the volume of smoke would be very much reduced, Being convinced of this, I shall propose an amend- ment to the bill myself imposing a penalty upon firemen who are responsible for the emission of dense smoke from furnace stacks. I do not know of any device or means for the prevention of smoke from puddling or suiphur furnaces. Uonse- quentiy I shall have to amend the ordinance exempting owners of such furnaces. And for a third amendment I shall so change the language of that clause of the bill which exempts private residences so that it willappear plainly that flats are not exempt. Thereare big fiat buildings in the city particularily about Grand avenue and Olive street from the stacks of which as much smoke is emitted as from the stacks of hotels. Such buildings are heated by steam or hot water and have large boilers uader which it is possible to _ smoke-preventing devices or by careful firing reduce the amount of smoke. EXPERIMENTS BY THE CITY. Jam thoroughly in earnest in this matter,“ continued the Delegate, yet I ain willing to make all reasonable concessions. I am will- ing that the practioability of smoke preven- tion shall be thoroughly tested, and to that end will agree that the bill shall lie where it is until after the summer recess. In the mean- time the city can try the devices at the city institutions. I shall in the meeting of the Ways and Means Committee this afternoon on the consideration of the annual appropri- ation bill which came to us ast night offer an amendment approprating a sufficient sum to pay for such experiments. Then the doubting Thomases can be satisfied that it is possible to — smoke and we shall hear no more of the cry that it can not de done. There are some fair concessions that should be met accordingly. The following engineers have written to the POS8T- DISPATCH to say they did not authorize the statement that they believed increase of power would result on preventing the smoke, thoughthey do believe smoke can be pre- vented to a great extent: E. 8.
