The Work Accomplished by the Commission —Some Interesting Facts and Figures— Guns for the New War Vessels—Bond Offerings—To-Day’s Proceedings in Oon- gress— Washington News. WASHINGTON, D. O., July %.—The President sent to Congress to-day the following mes- sage: To the Congress of the United States: Pursuant to the second section of chapter Not the laws of 1883, entitled: An Act to Regulate and Improve the Civil Service of the United States, I herewith transmit the fourth report of the United States Civil Service Commission, covering the period between the 16th day of January, 1886, and the Ist day of July, 1887. While this report has especial reference to the operations to the Commission during the period above mentioned, it contains, with its accompanying appendices, much valuable in- formation concerning the inception of civil service reform and its growth and progress, which cannot but be interesting and instruet- ive to all who desire improvement in administrative methods. During the time covered by the report 15,82 persons were examined for admission in the classified civil service of the Govern- ment in all its branches, of whom 10,746 passed the examination and 5,106 failed. Of those who passedthe examination 2,977 were ap plicants for admission to the departmental service at Washington, 2,547 were examined admission to the During the same period, 647 ap- 5,223 for service. toms service and 8,254 to the postal service, SEPARATIONS FROM OLASSIFIED SERVICE. Concerning separations from the classified service, the report only Informs us of such as have occurred among employes in the public service who have been appointed from eligi- dle lists under civil service rules. When these rules took effect they did not appl to the persons then in the serv comprising a full complement of employes, who obtained their positions independently of the new law. The Comumis- sion bas no record of the separations in this numerous Clase and the discrepancy apparent in the report between the number of appolnt - ments made in the respective branches of the service from the list of the commis. sion and the small number of separations mentioned is, to a great exte oom mission, among those who held t without examination and certification, which vacancies were filled by appointment from then eligibie lists. In the departmental service there occurred between the 16th day of January, 1886, and the 30th day of June, 1887, among the employes appointed from the eligible lists under civil service rules, seventeen removals, thirty-six resignations and five deaths. This does not include fourteen separations in the grade of special pension examiners, four by removal, five a resignation and five by death. In this classified customs and postal service, the number of separations among those who received absolute appointments un- der the civil service rules are given for the period between the first day of uae 1886, and the thirtieth day of June 1887. It appears that such separations in the customs service for the time mentioned, embraced twenty-one removals, five deaths and eighteen resignations, and in the postal service two hundred and fifty-six removals twenty-three deaths andfour hundred an sixty-nine resignations. IMPORTANT CHANGES. Moré than a year has passed since the ex- piration ofthe period covered by the report of the Commission, Within the time which haa thus ela many important changes have taken place in furtherance of a reform in our civil service. The rulea and regulations governing the violations of the law upon the sub have been completely remodeled in such amannerasto render the enforcement of the statute more effective and greatly increase its usefulness. Among other thi the scope of examinations prescribed tor those who seek to enter the classified ser- vice, hus been better defined and made more „ the number of names to be certified m the is — lista to the appointing offi- cers from which a selection is made, has been reduced from four to three, the maximum lim- itation of the age of persons seeking entrance to the classified service to ears has been changed, and reasonaple pro- visions have been made for the transfer of employes from one department to another in proper cases. A plan has also been devised providing for the examination of applicants for promotion in the service, which, when in full operation, will eliminate all chances of favoritism in the advancement of employes by making promotion areward of merit and faithful discharge of duty. UNIFORM CLASSIFICATION. Until! within a few weeks there was no uni- form classification of employes in the differ - ent executive departments of the Govern- ment. Asaresult of this condition in some of the departments the positions could be ob- tained without civil-service examination, be- cause they were not in the classification of such department; while in other departments an examination and certification were neces- sary to obtain positions of the same grade, be- cause such positions were embraced in the classifications applicable to such departments. The exception of laborers, watchmen and messengers from examination and classifica- tion, gave opportunity in the absence of an rule — Rca it, for the employment, v free service restrictions, of persons under these designations, who were imme- diately detailed to do clerical work. All this has been obviated by the application to all the —_ of — extended — —— on, embracing grades of emp not heretofore included, and by the — of a rule prohibiting the detail of laborers, wa or m to clerical duty.

THE MOON’S ECLIPSE, Thousands of Watchers See the Night Orb * Disappear in the Earth’s Shadow. The lunar eciipse last night kept more peo- ple out of their beds than could a Democratic ratification meeting. The novelty ofthe dark moon and the glory of uneelipsed stars repaid all watchers. Clouds that hung between sky and earth all afternoon vanished before the earthés shadow was cast upon the moon, andthe sight was not hidden in any part of its course. The performance began according to the programme, precisely on time, and continued as astronomers had pre- dicted faithfully. When totally eclipsed the moon was of a dull coppery color, not having lost quite all of its radiance by the earth’s in- terference. Telescopes on the streets and all manner of glasses on house-tops were used by amateur observers, but real astronomers at ashington and St. Louis universities did not open their observatories to observe the eclipse. It was 1:34 before the moon was en- tirely free from the earth’s shadow. Observations in New York. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPaTcnr. NEw YORK, July 23.—The eclipse of the moon came last night, according to announcement, and the veiling ofthe face of the moon was witnessed by thousands. So far as New York was concerned, it looked éarly inthe eve as though the show was to be cut off by a cloud. The moon came up inthe east through the great rifte of mackerel clouds and played hide and seek with the bright face of the queen of night. Assherose m tically high in the heavens, however, and as the time for the great event drew nigh, the clouds fell away into a heavy foggy atmosphere and the moon ready for her obscuration, stood out clear an bright in the heavens. There was u vast deal of moisture in the air, and to one with throat troubles, it was no small risk to stay out of doors and take in the dampness along with a view of the free show. Many did it, however, and were repaid by a sight of a remarkably fine ecli The going into the penumbra or half shadow was not a very warked event. There did not seem to be any dimming of the bright polished face of the moon. Penumbra was N voted of very small moment when it could make a better showing than it did in this eclipse. THE MAN IN THE MOON was V distinct, and the face the shadowy depressions in the moon’s surface are sup- posed o, stood out at clear and pro- © extra preparations were 88 for observing. ing absent L.

Arrangements Being Made for Grand Pageants on Land and Water—The Royal Welcome to Be Given the Republican Leader—Alger and Senator sherman Mr. Randall’s Retirement From Poll tios. Tonk, July 23.—James G. Blaine’s re- on his return from Europe, promises to be one of the greatest demonstrations ever witnessed in this country. From what is known it is the belief that there will be over 5,000 people in line in the parade, which will marteh from Mr. Blaine’s landing place to the Fifth Avenue Hotel, the night of August 7. A grand water pageant will be represented on the arrival of the City of New York at quarantine. Every Republican organization in the city will have a special tug chartered to meet the man from Maine. The Republican clubs will each take similar action, and it is believed that over five hundred craft of all descriptions will take part in the welcome home. The New York Olub has already chartered the steamer Sam Sloan, which has a carrying capacity uf 1,500. The Sam Sloan will be used to transport the members of the club, the National Committee, the officers of the National League of Repub- licam. Clubs, the members of the State Commit- Marshal's boat will lead the van, and Mr. Blaine will be transferred to it from the City of New York. Then the water procession will unfold itself in a dazzling string of boats reaching a distance of fully two miles. Every boat in the big fleet owned by the Iron 8team- boat Co. has already been chartered, and steamboat men say there is not an available tug along both fronts of the river in Brooklyn and New Jersey which has not been hired for the great display. Olubs from Boston, Phila- delphia and other cities along the Eastern seaboard will also have their boats in the parade. THE LAND PARADB. The land parade will be a monster one. Sec- st J. W. Jones says there will be more than 1,000 clubs represented in the pageant, and that notifications as fariniand as Ohio are dally pouring in in which the writers say that delegations will be present from their cities to participate in the exercises. The reguiar Republican organizations in the vari- ous assembly districts in the city are putting forth extraordinary exertions to excel ail pre- vious displays made by the Republicans in campaign times. Mr. Blaine will review the big 2 from the balcony of the Fifth Avenue Hotel, and it is expec that he will make a short address to the multitude, but it is said that this pro- gramme may yet be changed so that instead of an open-air address a reception will be ten- dered to the Plumed Knight the evening of his arrival in the Metropolitan Opera-house. Committees trom the New York and Brooklyn Clubs have already perfected all arrange ments, so that everything will work as othly as possible. he night following the reception a grand serenade will be tendered Mr. Biaine by the labor ＋7— who favor the perpetua- tion of the protective policy. Randall’s Retirement, By Telegraph to the POsT-DISPATCH. WASHINGTON, D. O., July 23.—In the dis- patches of a few days ago it was intimated that Mr. Samuel J. Randall would in all proba- bility not be able to again resume his seat in this Congress, and also that his physicians might forbid his ever again accepting a nom- ination to public office. This fear has in the past few days becomea certainty. The long and honorable public career of this faithful servant of the people is definitely ended, for his physicians have discovered that he is suf- fering from a cancer of the stomach and are forced to the conviction that it ig incurable. Their ,examination has not proceeded further than this as yet, and thereis at least ahopethatthe effect of the malady is not immediately dangerous. When he was stricken his doctor, Thomas F. Mailan, had not known that he had been previously under treatmentfor the hemorrhages. He had ap- parently also concealed the fact from his fam- ily, butitis now known that Dr. Martin of Philadelphia had performed an operation on him. Dr. Martin, it will be remembered, was away from home whenhe was telegraphed, and Dr. Lincoln, the eminent physi- cian of this city, was called in consulta- tion by Dr. Martin. Both, after careful examination of the patient, united in decid- ing that the disease is cancer of the stomach. They decline to express opinions or to give a statement forthe public, but it is known that both have expressed themselves without re- serve to their associate physicians, and the sadtruth cannot longer be concealed. Mr. Randall himself had previously had no sus- picion of the fact, but bears its revelation with characteristi¢ fortitude. It has been stated that he will shortly be removed to his home in Pennsylvania. Dr. Mailan, however, is very unce of the prudence of tbis. ina few days an act diagnosis will be possible and its result will decide whetner it will be best to take him from Washington. Nothing could be more perfect than isthe temperature of Washington now, or than it has been for a week past. If it con- tinuesas pleasantas now, there willbe no reason for removing him. Even upon his sick bed, Mr. Randall has taken t interest in the work of his committee. It is but a few days since Mr. Courts, clerk of the committee went to him with a report signed by several of the members against the spoliation claims. Without walting for a word of explanation, and though many of his constituents were in- terested in them, he said, ‘‘I sign my name to that report.’’ FOR TWENTY-SIX YEARS Mr. Randall has been a member of the House. Six years of that time he has been Speaker, and during nearly all the remainder of that eriod hairman of the Appropriations mmittee, yet to-day be is leaving his unpretentious home on Capitol Hill, worth $8,000 or $4,000—all he owns in the worid—for ar co near Philadelphia, which has been 1 and fitted up for him by friends, while many of the members of the House who pre- sume to criticise him have been for years in pr ee — lobby, and have made and lost nes specu upon pros- pective legislation. parative poverty is a monument to hie sterling integrity. a member ofthe House to-day: It is not long since Is to Randal! that he take a vacation. ‘Idieness would kill me,’ said he, and besides’—I did not realize what this pause meant, until a friend who was present reminded me that Mr. dali had no means on which to make the trip.

WASHINGTON, D. O., July 23.—The condition of Mr. Randall is reported to be about the same as yesterday. Alger and Sherman. By Telegraph to the PosT-DIspaTcnu. New YORK, July 23.—Gen. Russell A. Alger of Michigan, wife and daughter, were regis- tered atthe Fifth Avenue Hotel yesterday. The ladies are on their way to Narragansett Pier. The General will remain here forseveral daysand then return to Michigan. He was asked if he wished to make any statemeut be- yond what had already been published regard- ing the charges preferred by Sens tor Sherman that he (Alger) had used money to get the Southern delegates away from Sherman. The General said he would admit that at the time the slander was first published he was strongly tempted to reply at length and with considerable warmth, buthe was glad he had not done so,for he might have — expressions that he would have regret- It is intimated that many Republicans in Michigan would like to see the State go Demo- cratic this fall with a view of getting recog- nition in the convention of 1892. Any man or any party of men who would resort to such tactics would deserve everlast- ing defeat, and I have no doubt they would get it. It is, ne a little hard use one lives in a State that can be made certain by hard work to suffer on that ac- count, but the situation would not im - proved by turning the State over to the enemy. Gen. Sherman called on Gen. Alger during the afternoon. They are old friends. The hero of the march to the sea said that he hoped nothing that his brother John had said would interrupt their friendship. That's what you get, he added, dy meddling in politics.’’ 2 .

He Dismisses Another Batch of Arrested Saloon-Keepers in the Police Court This , Morning—The Crowd at the Collector's Office Thins Out To-Day—The Situation From All Sides To-Day. There was a thin stream of saloon-keepers trickling into Collector Sexton’s office in the Court-house this morning, a thin but steady stream that kept the pens of the clerks busy making out State and city licenses for the sale of intoxicating drinks. The rush was over. The excitement among the vendors of thirst quenchers was also over. City Attorney Butler’s manner of disposing of the cases made by the police against saloon-keepers found selling without legal authority had the effect of thoroughly overcoming the that there was danger in delaying to pay that authority. However the arrests had up the saloon-keepers to a realization of Collect- or Sexton’s meaning when he said to them in red ink on notifying them that their licenses were due: ‘‘All licenses must be paid during the month of July.’’ This they realized did not mean that no licenses were payable until July 80, so they are making up their bundles of coin and bills with which to satisfy the city. Up to Friday, July 20, of the 1,700 saloon licenses which fell due on July 4, 200 had been paid. On Frid y 538 were taken out by saloon owners before ud after the raid which the police made upon “he unlicensed places. THE COLLECTOR'S OFFICE was kept open until 12 o’clock on Friday night and was opened early Saturday morn- ing. All day, Saturday there was a crow the office, and had the pace established morning been maintained throughout th Collector Sexton might have al two-thirds of his force to go the rest of the season.

AT THE GARDENS. Patience“ Produced at the Cave—Schnai- der’s and the Kensington. The total eclipse of the moon last night did not prevent a large number of people from enjoying a view of the stars of Conreid’s Eng- lish Opera Company at Uhrig’s Cave in that delightful opera of Gilbert and Sullivan, ‘*Patience.’’ While the topic on which this exquisite satire is set to melodious music was written belongs almost exclusively to English society, yet no intelli- ent person can fall to grasp the bright points nit. Particularly is this so now, when so much is known about the fleshly school of Oscar Wilde and his associates. The music of the opera is beautiful, and it is full of gems for principals and chorus. The opera was ad- mirably given by the company. The cast em- braced the pick of the principal members. It is only necessary to name the cast to assure those who are familiar with the work of the company that the per- formance was clever and strong. In the cast were Jgs. Greensfelder as Col. Calverly, E. W. Hoff al the Duke, Joseph Herbert as Bun- thorne, W. H. Fitzgerald as Grosvenor, Walter West as the Major, Ed Stedman as Solicitor, Celie Ellis as Angela, Marion Langdon as Saphir, Louise Bianchi as Ella, Jennie Reit- farth as Jane and Clarette Vanderbilt as Pa- The opera will run for the entire tience. week. — ° * It should be borne in mind that the great 8 acle of the Last Days of Pompeli, at the Kensington, willonly be given three times this week, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday nights. The show is a splendid one, full of variety and interest, while the fire works are the best ever shown here. Plenty of truins are run to and from the garden. The last performance of the Pirates of Penzance’’ wes given at Schnaider’s last evening and to-night the lovely opera ‘‘Boc- cacio’’ will be revived with an excellent cast. CONGRESSMAN O'NEILL.

The real estate business did not start out with much animation to-day. In all the of- fices there was presented an aspect of peaceful possession and restfulness in marked contrast with the scenes of last week when the tem- perature was not so enervating. The day was a fair sample of midsummer dullness when the mercury gets up into the nineties, and being the first of the week very little was done in the way of ing sales. Several agents who for several days past have upwards, reported morning, and it is two other transactions contemplating the sale of much more valuable ea were started by correspondence, the owners in each of these latter cases being out of the city. As the month is drawing to aclose rent col- lectors were not doing much and only an oc- casional tenant dropped in to square up with the house agent. Bullamg mechanics, though, continued to reap a harvest. They neg be seen working in eve pare of thecity. Money for improvemen s abundant at from 5 to 6 per cent, and there is no disputing the fact th amount of lacal invested that way. very little outside money is here, as the surplus in the hands of home people who have ampie msans to furnish an ordinary ree loan is sufficient to meet all demands ot that class. en, too, the money lenders er to do business with clients whom they have a per- sonal knowledge of and who may thorough! investigate the character of the securities of- fered as experience has proventothem that the results are more satisfacto to all arties concerned. ‘‘Money to Loanin Sums Suit on City Property“ is placarded in all the real estate offices, and the funds in nine. ty-nine out of one hundred cases are provided by the owners of St. Louis 11 which the agent is in charge of. This class of money: holders well know the stability of local real estate, as most of them have been enriched from the proceeds of properties which they have controlled for years past, There is a firm here which 222 the confi- dence of its customers to such a degree as to loan out their money to the extent of hun- dreds of thousands of dollars a year, the to know where their cash has been placed, their only concern be- ing the collection of semi-annual interest. The firm has used this privilege with such prudence, however, as to enable it to imme- diately cash any paper which the holder may become alarmed about. John E. Vogel & Co. are going to build two $8,100 dwellings on St. Vincent avenue east of Lafayette Park, on the ground where the great spring auction was held. One of the houses is for Charles A. Lange, the other for Mrs. Maria Weiss. C . Schwerdtmann is building a $5,200 residence in the same locality. The Anderson-Wade Real Estate Co. re- port the sale of aseven-room brick dwelling and 86x141 feet of ground in Cora place for $5,500 from B. F. Hammett to J. O. McCann, also 100x141 feet of ground on the east side of Cora place from the same grantor, to John T. Stege for 32, 500. 7 : BELLEVILLE, A Turnfest That Was Well Attended— Belleville News and Gossip. A turnfest took place at the Fair Grounds in this city yesterday under the auspices of the St. Louis Turnbezirks, which was one of the largest events of the kind of this season. The fest had been extensively advertised and preparations for it had been made on a large scale. The members of twenty-seven distinct and seperate organizations in Missouriand Lilinois attended the fest. The festivities of the day were opened with a parade through the principal streets of the city during the forenoon. At 8:80 a. m. the members of all the local organ- izations which took part in the parade met at the Cairo Short Line Depot in the West End, where they met visitors from abroad who came in on the road. The Sons of Veter- ans, who were advertised to take partin the parade, did not participate. The turning ex- ercises of the day began at 2:30 5 m. A brilliant address was delivered by Dr. H. M. Starkloff, First Speaker of the North American Turnerbund. The Germania Turnverein, though still in its infancy, has already about eighty members, andthe turnfest yesterday was 1 help to it, as it awakened some of the old enthusiasm in r former! supported and Kept alive two suc organizations here. The turnfest has without doubt been one of the — est events in point of attendance that Belleville has ever known. Fivethousand St. Louisans attended besides the large numbers from St. Clair and adjoining counties in Illinois. An entertainment will be given at the City Park on the evening of August 4, by the Young People’s Society of St. Paul's Church. Aidermen Becherer and Lenz, together with City Marshal Oster have made an examination of Richland Creek and have ascertained that the most probable cause of the impurity ofthe water was the fact that it was dammed up at different places and had become stagnant. All obstructions have been ordered removed from the creek, and itis hoped thereby to ob- tain not only pure water, but pure atmos- phere along the banks. The dam at the Waugh Mill has —— been opened, and the water now flows freely past that point. Frank Bux, who left for Grand Rapids, Mich., afew weeks ago with his family, returned to Belleville and will probably re-engage in busi- ness here. His family will remain at Grand Rapids for several weeks. POWELL CLAYTON, The Arkansas Member of the National Re. publican Committee in the Ciiy. Powell Clayton, the Arkansas member of the Republican National Committee was in the city to-day. His visit had no political signifi- cance as he came here on private business. In conversation with 4 Post-Dis- PATOH reporter Mr. Clayton said that the Republican ticket and platform were taking very wellin his State, and he believed that both the nominees and platform were satisfactory to Republicans every- where. He believed that the ticket was one which would gain ae continual- ly until the day of election, and on that day would be triumphant. Mr. Clayton said he had received no special advice from New York or the doubtful Eastern States red Po but he had stron hopes that the Re- ublicans would carry the Empire State. r. Clayton will return direct to his home from here. THEY WERE WELL HEELED. A Pair of Dangerous Counterfeiters Gathered in at Pittsburg.

The Corner Rule“ and Attorney Judson’s Opinion of the Voting. The closeness of the vote taken Aast Satur- day on Change on the corner rule“ led those who favored its repeal to question the correctness of the count. Then it was discov- ered that several members who had not paid their dues for 1888 had been dllowed to vote. This, it was claimed, was illegal, as under the Exchange rules those who had not paid their dues were barred from all privileges of the floor until their dues were paid, and conse- quently were not entitled to a vote. Secre- tary Geo. H. Morgan sent a note to F. N. Jud son, the Exchange’s attorney, asking for his opinion on this point, and pending that all the ballots were gather to- gether and everything put in readiness for a recount. The repealers once more thought they had a chance to abolish the rule and those who wanted the rule to continue be- gan to reel uncomfortable. The opinion of Attorney Judson was, however, at non- — of his dues did not deprive a mem er of his vote, if he coul get on the floor to tender it, and consequently the vote would have to stand as it was, An effort will be made at an early date to bring this matter before the Exchange once more. Those in favor of repealing the rule feel v much encouraged by the popular vote the side brought out, and they think they could —＋ the rule out if they had one more go at it.

A careful student of human nature can, es- / tablishing himself at a well- populated street corner, find enough diversion to last him a week. While waiting for a cable car on Olive street oue afternoon last week, a Post-DIsPaATOH reporter noticed a biind man attempt to cross the street, which was alive with vehicies. The wonderful ease witn which such unfort- unates thread the crowded thoroughfares occurred to him, but it remained arimy bare-footed bootblack gamin apprehended the dimoulties of the sightless pedestrian, and quickly dodging under a horse’s neck he slid his grimy paw into the hand of the sichtless man, with an „„A right, boss, I’ll steer yer over,“ towed his charge between moving vehicles and landed him . safely upon the other side of the street. Not stopping for thanks, he jumped towards a pedestrian with soiled foot: he d gear yelling, ‘‘Shine, boss? Hey! Shine?’’. He obeyed his natural instincts and switched A Tattered Gentleman. off into the parts of his daily vocation as ff he had not set an example to the more intelli- gent and enlightened citizens thronging the avenues. THE HAND-CART MAN. In the midst of the activity and bustie of business streets, where the very atmosphere seems to tingle and buzz with the nervous vibrations of trade, isolated examples of inac- tivity startle the strageler. An every-day in- stance of this description is seen in the hand- cart man. When not busy he turns the cart up with ite handles pointing towards the genith, and then sits on the end awaiting a job. Dalim and unmoved, he dozes away until his services are demanded by a merchant wanting some small hauling. this class are also the dray- men and — — men.

BEFORE JUDGE CADY. An Interesting Batch of Cases in the Police Cotrt Tribunal. Lather McCalvin, the negro who cat his mistress, Martha Washington, Saturday night in the alley between Sixth and Seventh streets, Spruce street and Olark avenue, was before Judge Cady this morning on a charge of dis- turbing the peace. He cut her in the hip, in- flicting a wound in which there had to be eighteen stitches placed. McCalvin pleaded guilty and remarked to the Court that he would like a stay. ‘*I will give you a stay of six months in the Work house, responded Judge Cady. 1 will ane you 3280.“ USED A HUGE KNIFE. John Sullivan and Frank Kerr have long been known as friends. Last night Kerr was standing nearalunch stand down town and Sullivan ordered him to move on. Kerr did move up toa barrel a short 1 0 away, w he remained. Sullivan = upa huge bread knife from the lunch s and going up to his friend slashed him 4aross the wrist withit. There had to be five stitches placed in the wound. Both men were ar- rested and charged with disturbing the peace. This morning in court Sullivan stated that he nad been told by the police to keep the corner clear and was doing so. He made no discrimination between friend and foe in carrying out this duty, and he cut Kerr because the latter did not muve;fast enough to suit him. Judge Oady fined Sullivan $100 and discharged Kerr A NEWSPAPER THIEF CAUGHT. Amilk and newspaper thief was brought to justice this morning. Of all the thieves the youth who steals your newspaper and drinks your milk is the most annoying. He gets but little, but puts you to a great deal of inconvenience. iam Monroe, a colored dootblack who hangs around the Union Depot and is known among his associates as Big ead,’’ was the youth who suffered. He was arrested in the act of stealing milk and news- pes, and Judge Cady fined him $20. Mon- has hydrocephalus, and his head is about three times as large as it ought to be. TROUBLESOME ON A STREET-CAR. William Armsted, colored, was a passenger last nicht on the Sixth street line. He become Ng troublesome and abused the conductor in the presence of a number of ladies and as a arting shot threw a stone into the car as e was leaving it. Judge Cady fined the ob- streperous William $25. PROPLE’S RAILWAY CASES. The sixteen cases against hostlers of the People's Street + age Oo. were nolle prose- quied this morning. Obstructing the street wis the charge, and while the cases were against the employes ofthe line the road it- self was practically the defendant.

Strange Ceremonies at the Pyre of a Hindoo Dignitary. Bombay Letter to Philadelphia Press. After the Parsee funeral, which B described in my last letter, we were astonished to re- ceive a little box bearing the addresses of al the Americans, and upon opening it found there flat wheaten cakes wrapped in the fresn leaves of the bate], and below, in the Hindo- stanee language, an invitation to be present at the funeral ceremonies of a high Hindoo r It being extremely difficult to gain admission to the burning cemetery, we telt very fortunate, and in company with an intelligent native proceeded to the house of death. The dead man was said to be one of the richest natives of India, and his palatial home bore all the evidences of bis great wealth, but the funeral expenses certain did not exceed the amount paid by the family of the humblest citizen of America on similar sad occasions. The body, dressed in very plain white clothing, was laid on a bier in the - Ing room of the residence, and we were in- vited to gaze on the features of the deceased and, like the rest, sprinkle afew drops of water upon them. Being of a different religion, we were given places on the outside of tne building. hen the right hand of the corpse had been dipped into achetty or peculiar shaped vessel filled with water, the liquid was passed around among the friends to partake of, and we lightly moistened our lips witb it just for ap- 2 — sake. The ceremony is said to ald he participant in retaining the friendship of the deceased when entering into eternal rest. After a little while the body was carried to the Hindoo crematory, situated on the back bay, by eigntof his friends and deposited on a platform made of light woods and saturated with a peculiar oil. The two priests, having the three red marks of a high caste on their foreheads, set fire to the pyre, with the everlasting sacred light kept burning in the residence of the deceased, and with the murmur of solemn chanting = ers we watched the body being devoured by the flery flames. The widow took o e of the lamp by which the funeral pyre had been ignited and carried it back to her heme to return with the vompany on the following day, when the remaing ceremonies would be ormed. It was said that an interval of some hours bad to take place to allow the bad spirits an oppor- tunity to view the remains of the dead and vent their anger on the yet remaining soul if they wished. As witnessing the horrible detalls of the fu- neral above described had given such asomber and melancholy cast to the features and con- versation of the Americans, the observant gentleman who acted as our guide proposed that we return to the hotel, engage the largest drawing-room and he would see to it that the course of our thoughts was changed. His Ax was accepted, and the lighting of e lamps was the signal for a venerable- looking woman to enter armed with a reed instrument in the shape of a clarinet, sending forth a volume of sound that even intense regard for the fair sex prevents me from calling music. She marched around the room, and when again opposite the door which had admitted her sounded, as it were, a horrible war-note, and there appeared a dozen damsels, whose liquid eyes were biack as death, their long lashes of the same hue, their stature tall, and their brows overhung with coins of gold, which glittered against their hair. These damsels, our guide explained, were the célebrated Nautch or dancing girls of India. he formed themselves into a group, taking ositions like those in a common quadrille, the musician (7) in the center, and the dancing commenced. They were all below the age of 20, splendidly formed and arrayed in long flowing robes of high color. All wore round their arms and lower limbs one-fourth inch thick silver and brass rings, not less than eight on each leg, causing the movements of their bodies to be accompanied by tinkling sounds, as if it were a sleighing party. They performed an alle- gorical representation of a Hindoo courtshi and subsequent marriage, with all the incid- ents and accidents customary among people wounded by Cupid’s dart. The serpent-like elasticity of body which allows these women to float, as it seems, across the floor, and the graceful abandon with which they enter the pantomimic de- lineation of the play they are performing, must be seen to be appreciated, and language appears cold in a description. One of them wore around her neck a rosary, and as it is supposed that women of this class are devoid of all the pure attributes that distinguish the gentler sex in all portions of the globe, to a greater or lesser degree, it caused wonder- ment among the foreign spectators and in- vestigation became necessary. The rosary spoken of consisted of over one hundred wooden beads the size of a collar- button made of the holy basil. a low plant sacred to Sita, the wife of Rama. We were told that this woman repeated scores of prayers at morning, noon and evening, never less than seventy-five at any one time, ina chanting, monotonous tone, which became shrill and piercing at the end of each prayer. The offer of five golden dollars for the article, whose in- trinsic value was not more than 50 cents, was scornfully refused, and the old hag who supplied the music intimated that sure de- struction would befall the band of dancers if the rosary was sold, lost or stolen. This emblem of devotion was believed to con- tain the only redeeming quality which would entitle the castaway females to a claim to rotection of the gods when their race of life ad been run. The home of the dancers was at Benares, ana they were at Bombay at the special desire ofa high English official who had given a company of European noblemen, then in the city, an opportunity to see the Nautch family, and we considered ourselves very fortunate in being able to view their peculiar art, the more 80 as it was claimed that they were the most pro- ficient in India and enjoyed a celebrity in that country equal to the fame of any renowned dancer in Europe. A WORK OF DANGER. Laying Masonry While Under Water—Its Difficulties and Dangers. From Scribner's Magazine. The pressure ofairin caissons at 110 feet below the surface of the water would be fifty pounds to the square inch. Its effect upon the men entering and working in the caisson has been carefully noted in various works, and these effects are sometimes very serious; the frequency of respiration is in- créased, the action of the heart becomes excited, and many per- sons became affected by what is known as the ‘‘caisson disease, which is accompanied by extreme pain, andin many cases results in more or less complete paralysis. The execution of work withinadeep pneu- matic caisson is worth a moment’s considera- tion. Just above the surface of the water isa busy force „ „ in laying the solid blocks of masonry which are tosupport the structure, Greak derricks lift the stones and lay them in their proper position. Powerful pumps are forcing air regu * and at uniform pressure through tnbes tothe chamber below. Occa- sionally a stream of sand and water issues with such velocitysfrom the discharge pi that, in the night, the friction of the artic es causes it to look like a stream of liv ng fire. Far below is another busy fores. Under the 4 pressure and abnormal supply of oxygen they work with an energy which makes it impossible to remain there more than a few hours. The water from without is only kept from entering by the steady action of the pumps far above and beyond their control. An irregular settiement might overturn the structure. Should the descent of the caisson be arrested by any solid under its edge immediate and fu- dicivus action must be en. Ifthe obstruc- tion be a oy hee must be eut off outside the edge to the chamber. Boulders must ust be broken up blasting. The excavation must be system- cand lar. A constant danger menaces the lives of these workers, and the wonderful success with which they bave accomplished what they have undertaken is entitled to no- tice and admiration. Criticisms of ‘‘Cross-Eyed George.” Henry George in the Standard.

We extract the following from the last issue of the Arizona Kicker: On Po.ticy.—Heretofore, as our readers know, the Kicker has almost entirely abstained from publicly criticising the evils which all know to exist under our noses. We have be- come tired and disgusted with ourselves for this lack of spunk, and next week we shall open a red-hot campaign on The Mayor, The Common Council, The Fire Department, „All secret societies, The saloons, The gambling dens, And on various other organizations and institutions reeking with corruption. It will be aspicy issue. It will make more than a ton of human hair stand on end. It will make a thousand hearts thump like pile- drivers. Chicanery, deceit, bypocrisy, theft, robbery, arson and murder will be roperly tagged off and the tags pinned to the right coat-talis. Order your extra copies at an early date. Advertisers should send in their copy by Sat- urday. Dont neglect this golden opportunity. Another may never come.“ A CANDID OPINION.—We have received visits from several of our leading politicians to inguire why the Kicker doesn’t takea de- cid litical, stand in favor of one party or the other. It is a question easily answered. We are not publishing a newspaper for fun. Our convictions all run to publishing a dic- tionary oran almanac, thus leaving us neu- tral in politics. It the Kicker flies the Democratic flag and husties for Cleveland and Thurman it must have some solid assurance that after election the editor will receive a call. A call with a 7 of about $38,000 hitched to it would just ut fit our shape. It the Kicker puts up the Republican ticket and blows for its success it must have something in writing to fall pack on after election. We think we could fall back on a post-office of the second class and not fracture our anatomy. Wo gat up all night last night waiting fora committee of Prohibitionists to come along and get down to facts, but the bridges were down and they didn't come. We don't say that it all depends on the Kicker which party rules for the next four years, but we do solemnly affirm that the editor will keep clear of the whole mob and publish nothing but — and local news unless some pretty solid romises are held out to arouse his slumber- ng convictions. We are not for sale, but we do hanker for office.’’ *‘STOPPED His Parper — Old Steve Bridge- man, who has several times been alluded to in these columns as the meanest white man in Arizona, has stopped his paper because we did not have a column editorial on the Fourth of July. He says we are no patriot, and that a man that can’t 1 up for Independence Day is a cussed rebel. We have scratched his name off the list and if he doesn’t quit lying about us we’l scratch his carcass off the face of the earth. As to the Fourth of July, we were born on that day. As to patriotism, we! ve got more in our heels than old Steve could hold in his whole body. The man who intimates that we don’t take off our hat every time we hear the name of Washington is a liar and a horse- thief, Our editorial on the Fourth was a solid chunk of patriotism weighing twenty-five ounds, but was crowded out to make room or the advertisement headed: ‘How to Cure a Bad Breath.’ We know our gait and we think we know the great need of most of our townspeople. As to old Steve Bridgeman, we are aay pe two or three of his six or seven wives to drop in on us any day and furnish us some powerful good reading matter. Don’t — uneasy, Steven—we'll get to you in a few ays.’ ‘*WARNING.—We are no fighter. We have neither the sand nor the muscle to make one. We always knuckle unless there’s a chance to run. We admit to a dozen lickings in the last three months, and in every case we were the only one who suffered, However, we want towarn the ote who plastered our office door with mud the other night thatthe worm will turn. We are the worm. When we turn he had better look out. We can be kicked, cuffed, insulted and abused up to a certain limit. How far off the limit is we don’t know, but when we — it, we shall be a bad, bad man to fool with.’ The Prairie Shrimp. From the Charleston (S. OC.) News. The grasshopper plague in Minnesota has assumed so serious a character that the farm- ers around St. Paul have decided to pay I a bushel for the insects in order to stimulate the effort for their destruction. In Venezuela re- cently a prize of A, O00 was offered to anybody who would invent a means of profitably con- verting locusts into grease or any other useful article. Wecannot claim originality for the idea, but why not adopt the Indian system? The aboriginal farmers on the plains, we have been told heretofore, do not regard the grass- hopper as an unqualified evil. When their wheatcrops grow undisturbed by these in- sects the Indians eat the wheat, after it has been prepared in the usual way. Whenthe grasshoppers come and eat the wheat, how- ever, the Indians eat the grasshoppers. In this way they are always sure of a good crop, of one kind or the other, and are happy in any event. There is authority for the statement that fried grosshoppers are not unpalatable the testimony of white men who have dine on them being that — have a rich, nutty taste, not unlike peanuts, or something of that sort, and that the most squeamish person would enjoy them if they were served up in batter or under some other name. We do not care to press the subject too far, but why not give the frisky visitors a chance to redeem their repu- tation by transferring them from the field to the kitchen, from the furrow to the frying an? The Indian holds the oyster and shrimp n scorn, and his, we know, is a blind and un- reasonable prejudice. Why should we not learn from him at the same time that we teach him to esteem our delicacies? Let our frienas in Minnesota then name the grasshopper the Prairie Shrimp for instance, and gather him in and make the most of him. The Duke of Sutherland’s Economy. * From London Modern Society. The rumors that are rife anent the Duke of Sutherland’s cutting down his expenses are very much exaggerated. His Grace has always been a more than careful man in his expenditures, and makes a sovereign go further than even most Scotchmen. The fact that the eldest son, the Marquis of Stafford, is of a more liberal disposition has always been a source of concern and regret to the Duke, but on the other hand, no man is more fond of the pomp and spiendor which his large fortune and high rank sometimes make it incumbent on him to indulge in than the Premier Karl of Scotland. In other words, he can do the Grand Seigneur when he likes better rhaps than any other nobleman in Great Britain; | but, then, his friends also have to put up at times with table linen not of virgin whiteness and breakfast consisting of nothing but toast, boiled Jake and marmalade. The Duke has been speculating lately in land in America, and although his speculations have not ended quite so brilliantly as His Grace had hoped, a fair profit has been real- ized, so that the tales about the disposing of Stafford House, because of pecuni reverses, are pure nonsense. The death of his sister, Constance, the first Duchess of Westmin- ster, whom he adored, and of his daughter, Lady Florence Chaplin, gave His Grace a gen- era! dislike to tng 4 years ago; and his own recent very serious illness was not calculated to induce him to think of reviving the splen- did hospitality for which Stafford House, Trentham and Dunrobin were formerly so fa- mous.

The marriage of Mrs. Louis Hamersley to the Duke of Marlborough and the transfer of her residence to London serves to draw at- tention to the fact that the company of lovely American women who have married English- men with titles is beginning to assume very considerable proportions, and the social philosopher observes that if this proc- ess of international intermarriage goes on much longer a logical consequence will be the oe get of a distinct American flavor to the other side save the American uliarities which have been enthusiastically adopted there. As it is not an exhilarating thing to reproduce oneself, the English craze will thus in due course die away from a plentiful lack of material. The list of London-American beauties now includes Lady Mandeville, Mrs. Alfred Paget, Lady Randolph Churchill, Mrs. Adair and tne Duchess of Mariborough. The engagement of indeed is beauties, nished frequent occasion, con- tinue todo so, to the enterprising London photographers who are constantly in search of just such stimulatfhg material for their cameras. If Mrs. Marshall O. Roberts marries the Karl of Arran, an engagement which is announced on the other side as having been positively made, the circle of American beau- ties in England will be still further widened in a very important and attractive fashion. Lady Mandeville was the first of the Ameri- can beauties to make her home in London. She married Lord Mandeville something more than ten years ago, and it is asserted no fair representative of this country who has ever entered English society has met with so much suecess as she has won. Like a great many other English noblemen who have an- cient titles, Lord Mandeville is not very abundantly blessed with this world’s goods, a has in consequence a very modest London establishment. And here, somewhat circumscribed as to pee modest way. But the os yoy! er receptions and entertainments an pretending character of her suppers do not at all prevent her drawing-rooms from being one of the most popularand uentedin London. Americans who have spent the season in the English metropolis have united in saying on their return here that sey were sure of seeing more distinguished eople at Lady Mande- ville’s house, even at the most informal reception, than thi 7 saw at the more vye- tentious establishm nts * dle series of social entertainments. M ville, it will be remembered, was a Mis suela Yznaga. She has a quaintand u beauty of face, and the London photogr rs ucing her have taken great delight in reprod features. She returned to this country in 1883 with Lord Mandeville and during that winter they were the guests of Mr. and W. K. Van- derbilt, who gave the marvelously elaborate fancy dress ball in their honor, about which p Pag 1 daily and yp nen 1 talked and gossiped for a mont, | whic > New I anhattan Islan living. Lady Adair is not known by name so well as some of the other American women in London. She is the daughter of Gen. James Wadsworth, an old New Yorker, who lived for many years in the old-fashioned New York mansion, No. 18 East Sixteenth street, now occupied by the Apprentices’ Library. Mrs. Adair is a handsome’ woman, now of 4 or thereabouts, but twenty-five riage she became the wife of Lord Adair, an Irish nobleman of fortune, and through this alliance took a leading position in London society which she has never relinquished, There have been numberless rumors of matri- monial alliances which have never come: to pass. At one time her name was very indus- triously associated with that of the Marlborough by the society papers of London. Probably, however, there were very little rounds for the stories put about, Lady Adair eing two or three years older than the Duke on the lightest calculation. The marriage of Jennie Jerome, daughter of Leonard Jerome of this city,to Lord Randolph Churchill came about from Miss Jerome’s visiting some English friends some five or six ears ago and doing a London seasor, when — essentially American beauty and her quant American ways made a stunning mpression on Englishmen. It looked at one time as though the alliance would never be made for the reason that Lora Randolph, be- ing the second son of the Churchill house, was immeasurably poorer even thao his brother, the Duke of Marlborough, whose £20,000 a year, in view of the sition which be has to, maintain, is poverty itself. The alliance w finally arranged by Miss Jerome’s family making a handsome settie- ment, generally understood to be 510, 000 a year. CLOTHING IN THE REGULAR ARMY. The Great Improvement That Has Taken Place in This Respect Since the War. From the New York Graphic. In the army recruiting office up near Chat- ham Square, yesterday, six applicants for places in the ranks presented themselves.

From the Pall Mall Gazette. Our earthonly receives a small fractional part of the sun’s heat; but, whatever that may be in the year, more or less thar the average, the entire surface of our earth must feel and be subject to the effects. And one thing is certain—namely, thata orseries of years, of exeessive sun-heat will inevitably be years and seasons of excessive atmospherio dis- turbances, because increase of heat will pro- duce excess of evaporation ; excess of electric action, and, necessarily, excessive precipita- tion; and, during aprevaience of this exccss of sun-heat, there must be over limited areas violent storms both summer and winter. When very large ares of the atm here have been, by excess of heat, brought Into an unequal state, as large areas of lower stratum of highly heated air and vapor, which is also intensely electric, the conditions to produce sandspouts, waterspouts and tornadoes, are fully ripe. The upper and coider layer of the atmosphere cannot cool the lower highly hea and vapor-laden stratum so even! form, ust as or basin, having a bottom means for dis- charge by a pipe, flows out with a whirling motion—in our northern hemisphere always in the direction of the hands of a clock—and so the heated, highly electric and excessiv vapor-laden atmosphere breaks into the col atmosphere above when at the level of the ‘*dew point“ invisible vapor becomes visible, parting with its latent heat, which so rarifies the air as to force some of the condensed at- mosphere in visible cloud, mounting thou- san feet above the condensed dew — and into a region above the highest peaks the highest mountain. To feed this pipe, or, as in some cases pipes, the lower stratum flows in from all to rotate and and ascend with the in- tense veloci and uprooted, houses are unroofed, solids of variouis kinds are lifted from the earth, and human beings have been blown away like dead leaves. There are, also, records of n having been bl off the ralis.

Among the many different accounts of the new Emperor’s physical biemish thatI have seen, it is curious that there is not one which is correct, The left arm is not deformed, but withered, or rather dwarfed, the nerves which vitalize it were subjected to great and pro- longed pressure during birth, so that their conducting power (nerves are like — — wires) were destroyed. Hence the muscles of the arm were zed, and became wasted from want of use, and the limb did not w with the rest of the body. The . * f wi ew — RNING. LAST FIVE DAYS GLOBE CLEARING SALE.

Nn a — \ Tue total eclipse of the moon last night was a beautiful spectacie and it was ad- mired by millions who thought how much more beautiful will be the spectacle pre- sented in November by the total eclipse of the Republican ticket. Or the twenty-eight members of the Democratic Central Committee twelve hold offices under the city government, while only eleven are plain citizens. This shows thats Democracy as practiced by Mayor Francis is not exactly the Demoo- racy expounded by THOMAS JEFFERSON. With California producing an extra quality of wool and of woolen goods in demand abroad at extra high prices, the United States exports less than half a million dollars’ worth ot woolen goods, while England with free wool exports $100,000,000 worth. This shows that our wool tariff has been not only a tax on American labor but a protection to En- glish woolen manufacturers. Prorscrion papers claim that the price of wool has steadily declined since the duty on wool was reduced in 1883. Those inoluding in favor of tarif reduction, while there was a reduction the decline took place under a tariff duty. It is worth while trying, at least, whether placing wool on the free list will so stimu- late manufacture as to create healthy demand for it and thereby give it a fair value. WALLACE’S WOOL-GATHERING. The Republican nominee for Lieutenant- Governor seems to think he can drive the wool-growers of Missouri into the Repub- lican sheep-fold by showing that the wool tariff reduction of 1888 reduced the num- ber of sheep returned for taxation in this State from 1,458,000 in that year to 1,182, - 272 in 1887, with incomplete returns for 1888 indicating a still further reduction. As that tariff reduction was the work of a Congress Republican in both houses,and was approved by a Republican President, Mr. WALLACE can hardly make Repub- lican votes by attributing to it evil effects which it did not produce. But he argues that if a mere reduction of the wool tariff was followed by the disappearance of sheep from particular States, the total abolition of the wool tariff by the Mills bill will cause a still greater disappearance of sheep from the same States. A complete answer to this argument is foundin the fact that under the high wool tariff of 1867 New England lost one- third of her sheep, and the eight States that produced the most wool in 1867 lost 15,000,000 sheep, or one-half of all they had. Iowa lost 1,000,000 out of a total of 1,300,000 in ten years. Ohio lost 2,252,603 in the first four years after that high duty was placed on wool. The duty produced conditions which drove the sheep to cheaper pastures, and it actually reduced the price of wool, while mutton was in- creasing in value. NimMo’s quarterly reports,as Government Statistician,for 1885 showed that the price of wool averaged 88 cents for the eighteen years from 1850 to 1867, inclusive, while wool came in free, and averaged only 35 in the eighteen years from 1868 to 1885, inclusive, under the protection policy. With free wool, Germany carries 92, France 110,and England 240 sheep to the square mile on their high-priced lands, while the United States, with protection and abundance of cheap land, carries but 12 to the square mile, even Texas carrying but 26. — —— ¢ ——= -- ——— OUR TELEGRAPH SERVICE.

It is of course the duty of the Mayor’s Secre- tary to whoop-up ward meetings, the city paying him a modest but sufficient salary therefor, but it is also his duty to watch the Mayor’s office, and he might at least keep the enemy from breaking in and stealing a whole Poor- house. — . — Mr. BLAINE will come home in the great new steamship City of New York, a ves- sel planned, owned and sailed by Ameri- cans, but compelled by our navigation laws to be registered, taxed and sailed under the British flag, because she was built abroad, She was built abroad be- cuuse “the American policy of protection” prevents the building of such ships in our own ceuntry. . — Evils of Free Whisky. From the Chicago Tribune (Rep.). Millions of drinkers, not Germans, content themselves nowadays With a 5-cent glass of lager beer, containing 8 per cent of alcohol, rather than pay 10, 12 or 15 cents fora glass of whisky containing 40 percent of alcohol. Previous to 1860 few persons except Germans drank any liquor weaker than whisky. Brandy, gin and rum, as well as whisky, were swallowed in vast quantities by the Americans, Irish and Scotch in those days, and drunkenness was frightfully general all over the Union, irrespective of age, sex or sect. A barrel of whisky cost but §6 to $8, and a gallon jug but a quarter, while a quart bottle could be had anywhere fora dime. Still-houses swarmed all over the land, wherever rye, corn or apples could be grown, and the masses drank whisky like water. Thus it was that 30,000,000 of inhab- itante in 1860 put themselves outside of 90,000,000 of gallons of ‘‘bug-juice’’ per an- num! Last year the total consumption of whisky as a beverage was less than 60,000,000 by over 60,000,000 of inhabitants. , The fivefold increased cost of whisky through Federal taxation has caused a large part of the ‘‘rum’’ drinkers to quit it and re- sort to the far cheaper and nearly non-intox!- cating lager, and another large part of the whisky imbibers to cease its use or reduce its consumption in inverse proportion to the enhanced cost of the ‘‘ardent,’’ so that from any point of view the high tax has promoted sobriety and diminished drunkenness. Hence, to abolish the tax would so cheapen whisky as to lead at once to an immense increase of its consumption, with the inevitable attendant increase of inebriety and all the evils that fol- low in ite train. And yet that is what the „dre and their Ohicago sole Republican : Am. This story 922 a : enemies of Mr. Cleveland who hope to scare Gov. Hill off the track and force upon the Democrats in this State some such candidate as W. R. Grace, The scheme is to weaken the State ticket with the object of injuring the national ticket. The indications now are that Gov. Hill will be renominated. He will be opposed by the solid Mugwump faction, led by the Times, Post and Harper's Weekly. The danger is that some Democrats, seeing their candidate opposed because he is too much of a partisan, will retaliate om Mr. Cleveland as the favorite of the Mugwumps. There would be some serious knifing under those ciroum- stances. MEN OF MARE. Kine Karakva is a dreadful dude. clothing is made by Poole of London. DAVID OaRROLL, the inventor of the stump- puller now in universal use among farmers, died last week at Meadville, Pa. SIX members of the Republican National Executive Committee are or have been news- paper men—Quay, Clarkson, De Young, Fas sett, New, and Davis. THE new German Emperor, unlike either Kaiser Wilhelm I., or Unser Fritz,“ is strongly prejudiced against Freemasonry and has in consequence never joined the craft. Mn.

TAN-COLORED boots for men are becoming very fashionable. Nine men out of ten are reported as wearing them at the Henley regatta, and they are seen even in Lopdon and at garden parties. SENATOR HBARST is said to be one of the very few stable owners whofreely passes the tip around when he thinks he has a perfectly good thing. For this reason he isn’t at all popular with the bookmakers. Two or Mr. Bilaine’s sons—Walker and James G., Jr.—will take the stump for protec- tion early inthe fall. The younger is now at Long Branch studiously engaged in a mastery of tariff and tennis. He says that he hag left Wall street for good, because affairs there are disgustingly, stupidly dull. IMMEDIATELY upon Mr. Blaine’s return this country he will go with his wife and the Misses Blaine to the summer residence of George M. Pullman on one of the Thousand Islands. They will stop there about two weeks in orderthatthe gentleman from Maine may get a good rest before beginning his campaign task. WOMEN OF THE WORLD.

MATTERS OF INTEREST GATHERED IN THE MUNICIPAL OFFICES. A Delegation of Ladies From the Humane Societies Make a Call at the Mayor's Office To-Day—The Cable Curve—Notes and Happenings. The Ladies’ Humane Society, which has very recently been incorporated, has started out with the intention of pushing the work of preventing cruelty to children and animais with as much promptness and energy as can be brought to bear. Tho ladies,most of whom were formerly connected with the Humane Society, have joined together and now pro- pose to work as a distinct society which will make it its business to look after the otherwise unprotected animals and children of the city. The principal movers in the society are Mrs. Albert Todd, Mrs. T. G. Comstock, Mrs. Brooks and a num- ber of other well-known ladies. Their first work was done on Saturday, when they pressed. a number of the ministers of the city into serv- ice and had them speak from the pulpit against the practice of shooting at live pigeons for sport where the artificial substitutes would as well answer the pur- pose. This morning a large representation from the society was before the Mayor, with their attorney of the society, Mr. Gist Blair, to have him take action in a case they had investigated, where a little girl, the child of white -parents, was in the keeping of a negro family named Moore living in the rear of No. 810 North Elev- enth street. The ladies held that in the first place the negro woman had no right to the possession of the child and that apart from that, the child was being ill treated by her colored guardian and allowed to grow up in a neighborhood that was of a very low moral tone. Several witnesses testified that they had known the woman Moore to beat and whip the child in a brutal and unnatural manner. The colored woman showed papers to the Mayor which she refused to show to the 80 clety, which proved that the child had been put under her care by its mother, a fallen woman who wisbed to have the child as far removed from the life of its mother as posst- ble. The Mayor decided that if the ages woman got out re 3 papers „ child, making at t same time a promise to treat it better in the future, she should be considered the lawful custodian of the chiid in accordance with its mother’s wishes. * The Cable Curve. The Council Railroad Committee meets this afternoon to consider the question of the 8t. Louis Cable & Western curve on Grand and Franklin avenues. The cable company wants to change the tracks at that point from their present position and move them 80 to pass on the south and east of the hou on the southeast corner of Grand and Franklin ave- nues,thus avoiding the complicated curve now existing and relieving the cabies of a con- siderable strain. New City Buildings. The Commissioner of Public Buildings is at work on a number of plans and specifications for new buiidings and out-houses to be erected at the Insane Asylum, City Hospital, Poor-house and other city institutions. The plans provide fora number of much needed changes and additions which will be made as soon as possible. The East End Improvements, The Harbor Commissioner is busily engaged examining the plan spoken of by Mr. Filley at the East side property Owners’ meeting a few Gays since. In speaking of the matter to-day the Commissioner said: ‘‘I am hardly pre- pared to express an opinion as yet upon the ractical merits of the work referred to by r. Filley. I understand Col. Fiad made ote plan and some estimates several years ago and from whatI have heard of the project I think well of some portions of it—that espe- cially which proposes the building of a stone wail along the central portion of the river front and extending the present wharf line some distance beyond the one now estab- lished. I will examine the whole matter in a few days and can then speak more intelll- gently of it. This much may be said in a gen- eral way that any plan looking toa union of all the raliroads of the city with the river front directly to the river bank is worthy of careful study. The Iron Mountain, Pacific andgWabash now havea limited and partial outlet to the river and with the completion of the new bridge we will witness the advent of new roads claiming equa! privileges and as the terminal point of these roads will be nearer the river than those named, the question of wharf privileges will be sprung at once and must be met with a broad and liberal spirit. Everything, however to protect the steam boat interests and as I understand the plan spoken of it will not con- flict with their interests as now established.’’ New City Dumps. The Board of Public Improvements Satur- day by resolution authorized the Harbor Commissioner to draw a requisition on the Commissioner of Supplies for two barges, or hulls of steamers, to be used as scavenger. dump- boats. The Supply Commissioner thinks the boats can be purchased here with- out going outside the city for them. The Harbor Commissioner is of the impression that the boats bought new will last until * 1 of disposi its offal and ga arbage, asit will be imposs e to continue the present method for any great length of time. The boats to be purchased will be placed at or near Chouteau avenue, and below Barton street. The stationary dump at the latter place will be abandoned. Ithas never been satisfactory as the water at certain seasons of the year would recede and leave the offensive stuff dumped from it on the wharf until washed . by the harbor boat. The placing of the floating dump at or near Barton street is a concession to u — list of para ta residing near that vicinity who ve asked for relief from the foul atmosphere caused by the failure of the current to carry away the refuse matter deposited there daily. The passage of the ordinance anthorizing t e change was secured by the Harbor Comwmis- sion and Delegate Weisenburger of that ward. City Hall Notes.

Her daughter, Mrs. Loomis, a slender and gracefal brunette, who has inherited her mother’s winning manners and social charm, was becomingly dressed in white nun’s veil- ing with corset bodice, sash and cuffs and col- lar of white watered silk. THE DECORATIONS of the rooms were very beautiful, being entirely composed of roses of every shade, deep crimson predominating. Roses filled the fireplaces, and were banked upon the sideboards and mantlepleces, and baskets of roses were set upon the tables and occupied all the odd corners, and made the ‘rooms beautiful and filled the air with their sweet breath aswell. Unlike the weather on former anniversaries of our Declaration of In- dependence that I have spent in London, the weather was chili and rainy, but all possible arrangements had been made to facilitate the ingress and egress of the guests, and nobody took any heed of the weather, to judge by the number of persons that were present, includ! most of the bisho who are now attendi * Pan -Anglican Con. rian Confer- — » we „Mackay, v attired in black lace one and outhful and beautiful a ve been mistak THERE WERE PRESENT Mrs. Paran Stevens in olive green French — and Mrs. and Miss Chamberlain and Mrs. uise Chandler Moulton, and Mr. and Mrs. Miss Lillie — and Miss Kate Douglas, the Mrs. Sharpe of London and her daughter, Miss Hutchins, etc., e „C.

I., July 23.—After lying in a trance for nearly two years, Joseph Gull- foyle of this city has just awakened from what appears to have been but the sleep of a night. Mr. Guilfoyle, who was attending the High School, was compelled to abandon his studies because of bis health. Instead of im- proving he began to rapidly decline and subse- quently was sent to the country in hopes that air and exercise would bring again his former health, but this proved a false hope. About two years ago last March he sank one night in- to a p trance or cataleptic sleep, and since that time he has lain in his remarkable slumber. Friday he awoke, and though yet somewhat weak he is on the high road to re- covery. Of his sleep he remembers nothing. Rolled From the Roof.

Known as the ‘Factory Inspection“ Law and the Good It Has Done Children in New York—The Provisions of the Law Its Practical Workings—Oiher Laws to Be Enforced. One of the delegates to the Molders’ Conven- tion, which has been in session here fora week and which concluded to-day, was Mr. James P. Hooley of New York. Mr. Hooley is one of the deputy factory inspectors in that State, and in conversation with a Post-Dits- PATCH reporter at the Laclede Hotel this morn- ing gave some information in regard to what is known as the factory inspection law in the State of New York, which is evi- dence of the great good accomplished by that act of legislation. The factory inspection law,“ said Mr. Hooley, was passed by the New York State Legislature May 18, 1886. Among its provisions are anumber of sections in regard to the em- ployment of child labor. It provides that no child under 18 years of age shall be employed in any manufactur- ing establishment and that no» boy under the age of 18 or woman under the age of 21 years shall be employed fora longer time than sixty hoursin one week. It is the duty of every peragn employing children to keep a register in which shall be recorded the name, birth-place, age and place of residence of every person so empioyed by him under the age of 16 years, and it is unlawful for any manufacturing establishment to hire or employ any child under the age of 16 years without there is first provided and placed on file an affidavit made by the parent or guardian of the child, stating the age, date and place of has to be kept on file by the employer and must be pro- duced on demand ofthe inspector or any of his deputies. THE LAW further provides thatevery person, firm or corporation employing boys under 18 or women under 21 years of e shall keep posted in a conspicuous place in every room where such help is employed a printed notice stating the number of hours per day for each day of the week such persons have worked; and in every room where children are employed, a list of their names with their age. There are a number of other provisions, which compel certain regulations for the personal comfort, safety, and conducive to the the retention of health by such employes. An inspector and twelve deputies are appointed to enforce the law and it is seen to that every provision is mgidlyeomplied with, a violation being a misdemeanor, and punishable by a fine of not less than $20 or more than $100, or by imprisonment for not less than thirty nor more than ninety days, or by both fine and imprisonment. his law, continued Mr. Hooley, ‘‘has beer productive of inestimable good. Since it * put in operation child labor in the fac- tori¢s of New York has decreased fully 80 per cent, and there are good reasons for believing that before many years THE EMPLOYMENT of children in our State for manual labor will be 4 thi the past. The Superintendent of Schools. in New York City stated that there were fuily 15,000 children without school room, and he attributed this great increase to the enforce- ment ofthe factory-inspection law. In Buf- falo from 3,000 to 4,000 children were sent to schoo! in excess of the capacity of the school- houses. Of course, if we were only to drive these children out o the facto- ries into the streets, the law would do more harm than good, but a bill is now before the Legislature to greatly increase the appropriation for the schools, and when it is passed, as if is sure to be, a law already in existence, but which has been what you might call a dead letter, which compels parents to send all their children between the ages of 8and 14 years to school for at least three months in the year, will be strictly en- furced, the duty to do so being delegated to the school boards in each district.’’ When Hon. H Borst was Labor mmissioner in this State ne made quite a gthy report on child labor, but his sugges- ns were never taken cognizance of by the Legislature, and at the present time there are no legal restrictions or regulations in this State in regard to work by minors.

It is trouble, not good, that arises from old letters. A package bas fallen into my care to be disposed of as thought best. It contains letters, bills, receipts, some papers of value, In order to sort the chaff from the wheat, they must be ly examined. Ah, what unthought- of secrets they disclose—family troubles of whieh 0 the world never dreamed; bitter heart- aches where we thought all was serene; love letters, sacred fortheir time and place, ri- diculous now; a whispered suspicion of slander upon a name we thought was pure as the snow, and we are left tor wonder whether it is true or false. Old letters. What can they be good for? Their mission is ended. **I may like to read them while recovering from an illness,’* says some one Pshaw! as if these would be tie tonic * needed at such atime! Better far a breath of pure air.

The lawn mower is a great institution in many ways. In one respect like many other modern inventions, it is a valuable device when properly used. Unfortunately it is gen- erally operated without any other idea or pur- pose than to keep the grass cut short. This it is expeeted will make a soft, velvet sward; but it doesn’t unless the lawn can be deluged with water, which is not often the case. It should be borne in mind by all 2828 desiring to have a rich, full, soft and thickly set sward, that if the roots are exposed to the sun they will be burned, and if not - tially destroyed, produce 4 thin, stragglin crop. In order to avoid this the roots shoul never be sed, but sheltered by the grass they produce. The lawn mower — A not de used until the glass has at- tained a length of at least four inches, then it should not be cut more than two inches in well set grass, leaving at least two inches to protect the roots. This applies only to prone: graded lawns and a luxuriant growt e soil is poor and the sward new, a longer growth should be kept cultivated. A beautiful, well-kept lawn requires intelligent treatment to become an ornamental adjunct to the family residence. The Relations of the Sexes. Mrs. L. D. Morgan in Popular Science Monthly.

C., Called by the Second Baptist. The Second Baptist Church on the corner of Beaumont and Locust streets, which has been without a regular pastor since the departure ot Rev. Dr. Boyd, has issued a call to Rev. J. W. Ford, D. D., of Charleston, 8. O. The Pulpit Committee of the church bas been in correspondence with the Rev. Dr. Ford for some time, and it was decided Saturday to recommend that he be called to the con- gregation yesterday morning. done, and the con unanimously to send him the call. every reason to believe he will accept, and he does he will be installed in September. Since Dr. — Bag departure the Second Bap- tist Church pulpit has been filled by different reachers, Rev. Frederick L. Andersen of hicago being tne present temporary pastor. It has been repo a number of times that calls to certain ministers had been sent out by the church, and as none of the ministers mentioned as havi been se- lected by the congregation were ever installed the impression was created that for some reason or otber the pastorship of the Second Baptist Church was not 80 — desirable. This idea is entirely erroneous. The only call since Dr. Boyd’s departure made by the con- gregation of this church previous to that sent to Dr. Ford gaa was sent to Rev. A. O. Dixon of altimore and he would have been most Willing to accept had it not been forthe fact that his pastoral work was in such a state that he could not conscientiously leave. The pros- pective néw pastor, Rev. Dr. Fo is in the neighborhood of 45 years of age, and is said to be a very conscientious divine and eloquent preacher. GREATEST CLOTHING BARGAINS THE HISTORY OF ST.

OHICAGO, III., July 28.—Ever since the Union League Club of this eity erected its handsome structure on Jackson street, there has been one eye-sore in the harmonious surroundings. Just adjoining the club building, on the west, stands a dingy one-story structure which has done service for years as a low groggery. The strip of land on which this shed still tands is twenty-five feet in width and has ong been coveted by the club. An attempt to purchase it was made when the club building was first undertaken,but the negotiations were blocked, owing to the exorbitant demands of the owner. As the years passed the palatial club and the barren house elbowed each other in a not very neighborly ony The patrons of the beer counter persisted in sitting on the steps of the club building, much to the disgust of the club members. Sometimes they would be chased away, but alwaysreturned. Finaliy a special policeman was detailed to keep the steps free from contamination. Some of the club merabers have kept their eyes on this — ot land, with a view to ridding them selves of their unpleasant neighbor, and have ape | secured an option. The owner agreed to sell the 25 feet for $52,000 and the contract was drawn up. In afew days the transfer is bo be completed. It is understood that the club will, when the property is secured, build an extension to the present building to cost about $50,000. HE PAID FOR IT.

The Second Baseman “‘Outrages Publie De- cency” and the Fielder Steals a Dog— Gaudaur and Keenan Measure Words— The Crooked Steeple-Chase—Sporting News and Turf Notes—Base Ball Gossip. By Telegraph to the Post-DispraTou. New Yorke, July 2%.—When the Brooklyn base ball players finished with the Athletics yesterday President Byrne sent down to the dressing-room for John Burdock, second baseman, and Darby O’Brien, the left fielder. His message demanded their appearance in the office, and when they reached it they were introduced to Detect lve McGrath, who touched both of them and then finally placed them under arrest on two charges. That against Burdock was termed ‘‘outraging public de- cency,’’ and it is made by Miss Tillie Brown, whose home is at 865 Fifth avenue. Burdock had just been presented with a gold badge and a fioral pillow by his friends. Migs Louie Jones of Stapleton, Staten Island, accuses O’Brien of stealing her pet terrier, the value of which she places in the hun- dreds. O’Brien says he loaned the dog to Miss Jones after Billy“ Holbert, the catcher, had given it to him as a mascotte and that the young lady has no claim to it. President Byrne, who had succeeded in delaving the arrest until the game was over, agreed to have the accused men in court to-morrow, and as both of them expressed their willing- ness to answer the charges they were not locked up. Will Join the League. Cincinnati and Brooklyn will get in and out of the storm, says Caylor. They will both take shelter next November under the League tent. Their officials may say not so““ at this early eriod, but never mind that. Just stick a pin nto a belief that they will both be found next summer doing battle with the Chicagos, New Yorks, Bostons and Philadelphias. It they be not, then their owners will have acted more unwisely than I believe they will. The reason why they will do this is plain. The “ee wants them. It is their interest to go. The Association, under its recent bad adminis- tration, and under the guidance of the men now at the helm, is going to seed just as fast as it can. e have Brunnell’s warning from Cleveland the Cleveland Association Club doesn’t care to continue in business under its present prospects. Kansas City steadfastly declines to remove from its fgg ge yee and seek another location, in - te of the fact that it can et desirabie locations cheap. Louisville is losing a hund dol- lars a day and don’t you let anybody make you believe otherwise. St. Louis will not clear expenses by $5,000, and Von der Ahe is nota cheerful loser, as his recent conduct shows. Baltimore may stand a small loss, but its backing may be withdrawn at ws | time, and the Association ‘‘magnates’’ al know it. Therefore Messrs. Stern and Byrne will doa wise thing if they conclude to step over into the substantial company of the big League clubs. We Still Win. The Browns won a pretty game from the Louisvilles yesterday on the grounds of the latter. The batteries were Hudson and Boyle and Ewing and Vaughn. St. Louis scored 5 runs, 7 hite and 5 errors, and Louisville3 runs, 6 hits and four errors. Sunday Base Ball.

Their last three defeats without a run were the hardest that any club could receive. They were well played and were won as much through ill luck as superior playing on the — of the Philadelphias. In fact, an error, a ong hit or atight decision would have had considerable to do with the result of any of the three games, in which only four runs were made. The Philadelphias are certainly the Jonahs of the Smoky City team.—[Exchange. Manager Schmelz has strong hopes of the Cincinnati Club finishing first in the race. There are many reasons why he should feel confident. In the first place, Elmer Smith, to all appearances, is back to his old form and he was the club’s imaging pitcher last season. Mullane is also doing as good work as any Aga in the Association, while Viau is ful- lling expectation. The players, one and all, are confident of success and are playing with the right spirit. There is but one thing that tends to discourage Manager Schmelz,and that is the club’s poor batting. They aregot doing the work they are capable of in this line, and there is bound to bea change for the better. The Cincinnatis can still be counted in the race.—([Cincinnati Commercial. A dispatch from Louisville says: Tom Ramsey is undergoing another suspension for failure to report in time to accompany the Louisvilles on their Cincinnati trip. He was to have pitched one of the games there, but ot drunk the day before and failed to reach he trainin time. He was very penitent, and tel hed the next day to know if he should come, but was told to stay, as his services were not needed. Stratton was put in to pitch the game that had been assigned to Ramsey and the Cincinnatis made only two hits off him. Upontbeclub’s return to-day Ramsey was laid off and told that there were four other pitchers besides him. Mr. Davidson is deter- mined to disabuse Tom of the idea that the club cannot get along without him.“ - LON MEYERS AT HOME. The Fieet-Feoted Middle Distance Cham- pion Returns From Australia. By Telegraph to the Posr-Disrarcn. NEW Tonk, July 23.—A marvel of fleetness on foot stood on the Manhattan Athletic Club- house steps yesterday. Few passers by failed to recognize the ex-amateur champion, Lon Meyers, who has just returned from a two years’ trip to Australia. Myers did not make a fortune while away and is anxious to get on a match with any runner in the world for any amount of money, race from 200 yards to] mile. It is hinted an effort will be made to make 8 in this country what it is in En- gland and Australia. The only thing in the way is the law against gambling. ‘*Australia,’’ Meyerasaid, ‘‘is one of best countries under the sun and I hada — time.

' Gaudaur and McKay took seats and laughed at Keenan’s sally. ‘‘I don’t know where my men are, he con- tinued. ‘*They are probably up at Syracuse or somewhere else looking out for an extra dol- lar or two. They haven’t begun rowing in doubles yet. 8o much the better for us, said Gaudaur, smiling. ‘‘But I understood that they were at Saratoga Lake. They haven't gone there yet, said Mr. Keenan. Well, they think they have a soft snap, oan they don’t need to prepare, said Gau- aur. That's whatI thought when I made the match,“ said Mr. Keenan. ‘‘Uniessi thought they bad a good soft thing I wouldn't have made the race... „Well, you'll find they Il have to do some hard rowing if they do think it a soft thing, broke in McKay.

And the ex-champion and his mate were seen a minute later making long strides in the direction of the Harvard boathouses. The Crooked Steeplechase. It is reported that the Monmouth Park Asso- ciation will abolish steeplechasing and hurdle- racing after this year, says the New York Tribune. It will deserve severe reprobation if it does not. Never has the steeplechase ring, which bribes jockeys, has horses pulled and settles the winner in advance, been so auda- cious and shameless as this year. The most flagrant fragds have been perpetrated without check or hindrance. One steeplechase rider has repeatedly pulled his horse’s head high in air in the homestretch wulle he pretended to whip and ride his mount. It is impossible that the experienced ny | men in the judges’ stand can be deceived by such flimsy tricks. They seem to think that anyone foolish enough to bet ona steeplechase ought to be swindled, and they make no effort to secure honest sport over the jumps. This is all griev- ously wrong. Turf Notes. Races at Saratoga to-morrow. D. J. McCarthy, the boy horse owner, won $3,000 on Tibaroi’s win Thursday. Jim Gray has been sent to Kansas City, where he will be placed in the stud. Kingston and a large detachment of the Dwyer stable will be sent to Saratoga. A. J. Cassatt will sail for home from England on the new Inman steamship City of New York the first week in August. It is rumored at Lexington, Ky., that Maj. Thomas has purchased an interesé in the high - priced colt King Thomas. John Hannigan, one of the Dwyers’ trainers, is quoted as saying that he feared Hanover would never face the flag again. Although Domestic’s hoofs have grown suf- ficiently to allow of his being shod it is still a question whether they will stand training. Dick Roche has purchased Steve Stevens’ half interest in the 38-year-old colt Badge, by The Ili-Used, dam Baroness, paying $2,600. Now it is said thatthe Emperor of Norfolk will not be sent to the Indiana stock farm, but that he may take part in the Saratoga meet- ing. The great free-for-all race between Prince Wilkes, Oliver K., Harry Wilkes and Mam- brino Sparkle will be decided at Detroit next Thursday. Only thi out of the forty-one bookmakers who began business at the Chicago meeting continued tothe end. The mutuel machines hardly paid expenses. The bookmakers are reaping arich harvest at Monmouth. About the only favorites that win are oddson chances, and even they do not always come in first. John Murphy drove Maud 8. the following three miles at Fleetwood course: First mile, quarter, 85% seconds; half, 1:10%; three-quar- ters, 1:47%; mile, 2:22%. Second mile, quar- ter, 3442 seconds; half, 1:06%; three-quarters, 1:39; mile, 2:14. Third mile, quarter, 35% seconds; half, 1:10; three-quarters, 1:41%; mile, 2:15. We understand the Dwyers have had Han- over ‘‘nerved,’’ that isto say, an operation has been performed whereby a portion of the nerve of the foot has been taken out, and much as the nerve of a tooth is killed all sensation is suspended, leaving the horse free from lameness. The operation is an old one in navicular cases, but we have never heard of its being tried with race-horses until recently at Clifton and Guttenb „ the horse King Arthur, it is said, having showed good results from the practice. With trotters it has often been tried, although there is danger of the horse’s foot coming off at the end of a number of years, just as a denerved tooth decays. We have heard it was against the law, but on that point we are not certain.—[ Wilkes’ Spirit. LUCAL NEWS. Charies E. Barney's stale at 2228 Lucas place was burned last night. Loss, $00.

DAMAGE DONE BY THE TERRIBLE RAT IN HOTEL CELLARS. Rodents That Swarm Everywhere Under- ground — Heavy Lead Water-Pipes Gnawed Through by Them in Search of Water—Impossibility of Excluding Them Experiments in Electrical Execution The Black and the Norway BRat—Fierce Fighters That Prove Too Much for Cats— The Planters’ House Rat Pit—An Ever- Present Pest. „Do you see that?’’ said Clerk Murphy of the Southern Hotel, exhibiting a section of water-pipe with a large holein it, ‘‘and can you guess what made that hole?“ Upon close examination it was seen that the section of lead pipe was ridged and furrowed in a most pe- culiar way. A circular space, some two inches in diameter, was cut in all directions as if chiseled out by a sbarp-pointed instrument, and a hole as large asa man’s thumb was made in the thick metal. After the problem had been abandoned Mr. Murphy said: . CUTTING WATER-PIPES. ‘If you bad lived long in a hotel you would recognize the work of the greatest pest we know; that is rats. Their voracity is proverbial, but it is gener- ally supposed that anything so unnutritious as metal is safe from their attacks. This plece of lead pipe, which came out of our cellar, is proof to the contrary. It is un- usually heavy, being fully a third of an inch thick, but as you see they have gnawed it completely through, and done the job in a very workmanlike manner. This thing of gnawing through water-pipes is by no means a rare oc- ourence, although I have seldom seen so large a hole made. I think from the looks of it that half a dozen rats must have acted in partner - ship. They evidently got thirsty, and took the readiest means of getting water, although how they knew that they would do so by making a hole in the lead pipe passes my comprehen- sion, and argues an amount of intelligence with which those rodents are not usually cred- ited. Our plumbers have always tobe on the lookout for leaks made by rats, and some of them are very difficultto repair, as they not only are found in out of the way places, but often are so large that they cannot be soldered, but a length of pipe must be cut out and replaced, perhaps only to be again pierced within a week. We have about the lightest and alriest cellarof any hotel in the country, and one in which there are scarcely any places of concealment but try as we may, there is no such thing as keeping out the rats. If you will go down into the basge- ment you will see how they deal with them.“ A visit to the hotel basement was made and information concerning rats asked. ‘‘Wecan keep them out of the store-rooms,’’ said the official in charge, but only by perpetual watching. We have a number of traps as you see, pointing toa pile in the corner, but they have very little effect upon the numbers of rats that make their way into the cellar dur- ing twenty-four hours. There is no use try- ing to keep rats out of any place that commu- nicates with sewer drains. They make their way through incredibly small holes and soon estabiish themselves in the cellar. We catch a great many of them, and the cats kill more, but still there are always enough to be found. They will gnaw their way through almost everything and in spite of our watchfulness manage to pick up a very good living. It is by no means uncommon for them to cut our pipes and whenever [see a stream of water flowing over the floor I know that the rats have been at work. If you will come with me Iwill show you how we dispose of those that we catch alive.’’ ELECTRICAL EXEOCUTION. Going to the engine-room and picking upa trap containing three live rats, the engineer was called and asked to dispose of them in the usual way. Attached to a telephone ap- paratus were too long wires and a groundi wire. This latter was fastened to the wall an the two wires tied to the rat, one around his neck and one around one of its hind legs. When let loose the rat ran actively about, pulling strongly at its fetters, and making several savage bites at them. The engineer then turned on a slight current, which had the effect of making the animal ng fully a foot from the floor, and then oox around in astonishment to see what had happened. Another and stronger shock was given, which knocked the animal com- letely over, and caused it to lie motionless or several minutes. Whenit had begun to crawl around the full force of the current was applied. Theeffect was magical. In an in- stant the animal curied up, apparently shrinking to half its size, and the odor of sing- ing hair was A eroeptible. He never felt that shock, said the engineer, but died so quickly that the nerves had no time to con- vey sensation. Ihave made a great many ex- periments with electricity on rats, and am convinced that death by this means-is in- stantaneous and absolutely painless: We drown most ofthe rats that we catch, onl trying the electricity on them for experi- mental purposes.’’ BLACK AND BROWN RATS. „Rats!“ said the porter of the Planters’ House when asked for information on the sub- ot. We have millions of them here, not only inthe cellar but even in the alleys near the house. They come out of the sewers and have become so bold that they will not run awa until you walk close up to them. We catch some in traps and the cats also help us to drive them off, but there is no such thing as —— entirely rid ot them. They are flerce fighters, too. Some not face the smallest of them, and the pravest old Tom has all e wants to do when he tackles one of the big Norway fellows. There are two inds of rats, the smaller blackish-brown va- lety and the oo brown E rat, the ship rat as itis sometimes called. is latter is fully three times the size of the common black rat, being as large as a small kit- ten. It a cat attacks two or thr of these together she is certain to have a hard time of it,as they never think of running, but always show fight. As their teeth are sbarp as chisels and often v poisonous, after one encounter a cat will gen- erally give them a wide berth. AN AMATEUR RAT- PIT. There is ope animal, however; that is al- ways more than their match and thatisa well-trained terrier. I keep one here and if you wilicome around almost any event when Iam not busy, Iwill show you as g sport inthe rat-pitline as ever you saw in our life. Three or four times a week we ave a regular slaughter of them, letting cats will them out of the traps in the ey, where the dog can get at them. He knows where all their holes are, won't let them get near them, and kills them by breaking their necks. He must have killed two or three hundred this water-pipes? I should say they did. We al- ways have to be looking out for leaks cau m, and they give us all kinds of I believe they could gnaw through tron if oy wanted. A rat need never starve, as, if they cannot find any- thing else to eat, they willturn on each other and heartily enjoy a cannibal feast, We some- times find skeletons picked clean, with the marks of teeth all over the bones. We do what we can to drive them off, but can make but little impression on the crowds that swarm out of the sewers.’’ HOTEL PERSONALS. „Kansas City; R. S. Ross, Chica- „ and W. W.
