WASHINGTON, D. O©., Aug. 2.—There is some excitement in the Navy Department unusualto hot weather. The story of the important changes In armored ships has stirrea the department up. The charge against the department Is a very serious one. ll Making named below: 17 nnledwrtd; piv DRY GOODS co. NM SUK Room for NEW FALL GOODS In Every Department.

Some officers in thefNavy, men of the highest standing, fear that an investigation must result. hat vertical plates have been suddenly substitated for the deflecting armor originally planned for the turrets and barbettes of the new cruisers and battle- ships is the charge. It is also said that a change from two curve pilates to one curve plates has been authorized in the side armor, anc that the contribu- tion ofalarge sum to the Republican cam- paign by Carnegie, Phipps & Co. is a suppo- sititious return forthe gift of hundreds of thousands of dollars to that firm which the change in the plates practically amounts to. Why this change in armor was made must be explained. The deflective plates were not adopted by the Department until after they had been given many trials and their use had been considered fora long time, Contracts for these plates amounting to large sums were given to the Bethlehem Iron Works and to the Carnegie company. It is claimed that the Carnegie people found they could not make them without putting in a very expensive plant and they asked to be relieved from this part of their contract and that the department substitute vertical straight plates for the inclined armor and one curve for twocurve plates in side armor. The Bethlehem company followed suit. f£ec- retary ‘Tracy and Commander Folger, Chief of the Ordnance Bureau, upon whomthe Secretary relied, had been most enthusiastic for the deflecting plates. No opportunity had been lost by them to call at- tention to the successful trials of these pilates, and to extol their §jmerits above all others. Upon the receipt of the request for the abandonment ofthis highly prized armor, Commander Folger recommended tothe Sec- retary that the Carnegies be let out of their contract for the inclined plates, and that vertical plates be substitute. It is the rea- son for this change that must be made known. Several reasons have been advanced, but, like the vertical plates, they do not deflect the bot shot that criticism and suspicion will now hurl at the Department. GQne reason given, namely, that there is not enough roomto work the guns behind the inclined plates, islaughed at by the officers, whose longand practical service and knowledge of construction give weight to their opinion. One of the best of these officers says that there will be ample foom behind the defiecting plates, and thatafter the De- partment has beén yearsin working up Its plans of vessels forthe use of the inclined plates itis a stigma upon its intelligence if it how contesses that they are not practicable so faras working the guns.is concerned. This officer tersely said to-day that the De- partment Knew how much room there would be to work the guns behind the deflecting armor when it gave out the contracts for the plates and that the space had not shrunk, Another reason advanced is that Secretary Tracy isina hurry tocomplete the armored Ships before he gets out of office. When the loss of money tothe Government is consid- ered In the necessitated change in the plans of the vessels, tosay nothing of the substitu- tion of a Weaver armor, this last excuse will hardly be seriously received. In the absence of Secretary Tracy and Commander Folger no other explanation can be obtained at the Navy Department. It is known that some time ago Secretary Tracy was asked why the change in armor had been made. Heissaiad to have been very much disturbed by the question and to have re.- plied in substance that he was obliged in technical matters to rely upon the judg- mentof his subordinates. Itis the general impression in the Deyartment that the Secretary relied in this case upon Com- mander Folger, and there is a rumor that there is nowa certain coldness between them, Of course, the difference in cost be- tween the deflecting and the vertical plate is considerable, as also it is between the two- curve and the one-curve plate. It is hardly possible that the Carnegies will be paid as much for the one-curve as for the two-curve plate cailed for in the original contract. Still, so far as known, no reduction has been made in the amount which the Government agreed to pay forthe pilates. It would seem as though there would have to be re-adver- tising for proposals. The Carnegies were given contracts calling for the expenditure of $8,000,000 without advertising or competi- tion of any kind. A SHOWY FEATURE. ONE OF THE ARCHES AT THE G. A. R. NATIONAL ENCAMPMENT.

Several of the occupants were rescued by fishing smacks and the Steamer Florence, which steamed out from Longport to aid in the rescue, but it is re- ported that a number were arowned, Lack of communication with Somers Point renders It impossibie to verify the latter report. Three fisherman residing in this city left in a small boat this morning to fish, karly this afternoon Capt. Bowen of the yacht Annie Godfrey found the boat sticking on the end of the outer bar, about twoanda balf miles from _ shore, and further search revealed the body of one of the men floating face downward. A rope was put around the corpse and it was brought to shore, when it was recognized as that of Charlies Seaman. The othertwo bodies have not yet been found. The namesof Sea- man’s compantons are Benjamin Parker and Norman Mannery. The tide this morning was usualiy high, owing to offshore storms, and the men were warned before leaving of their danger, but they did not heed it, Capt. Van Hackett of Bakersvillie is among those lost off Longport to-day. His boat was overturned, His body has not been re- covered, A CANADIAN CHARLIE RO3S8 CASE. A Long-Lost Boy Returned to His Parents in Montreal. From the Montreal (Canada) Gazette. Aftereight years of absence from home young NW illie Dallas returned to thecity yes- terday from Beilows Falis in company with his fatherand mother, whohad gone there on Saturday evening to weicome to their arms the long-lost son. The disappearance of the lad in 1884 had always been a mystery untila few weeks ago, and his parents had believed him dead. A letter a:idressed to the Postmaster at St. Jean Baptiste was opened, after having remained in the piace for some months, and it was discovered that the writer was Willie, who inquired about his parents. The letter, which was addressed from Bel- lows Falls, was given to Detective Lafon- taine, and ihe Sheriff of Bellows Falls traced the lost boy to Keene, N. H. The parents set off on Saturday for the home of their son, and the meeting between them may well be imagined. The boy is now 17 years ofage. On June 24, 1884, St. Jean Baptiste day, during the cele- bration, he was in the crowd on St, Lawrence Main street, st. Jean Baptiste village, near his own door, when two French-Canadians came along, and one of them, picking him up, carried him to a vehicle. The other drove off to the station, then ‘‘Old Bona- venture.’’ He was taken to Bellows Falis and piaced inthe primary school, where he remained for four years. After that the men made him work onthe farm forthree years, and by this time he haa almost forgot- ten Montreal. About a year ago he was sent to work In a hotelin Keene, N. ll., and then it dawned upon him that he would write andtry to find h sh gg The letter was addressed to the St. Jean Baptiste Postmaster, and it being about the time of the annexation, the mis- sive was lost for a time, as no one assumed to have the right to open it, When it was finally read, the lad referred tothe fact that he re- minembered St. Lawrence street, and wanted to know about Mr. Dallas and if he stil lived there. There was no difficulty in finding Dallas senior, and the hearts o! the parents were oaveves when tidings came of their son. The youth says he was always well treated, and recetved a fair education during his four years’ schooiing. Fall Festivities Opening. The grand opening display of the fall fes- tivities, on Saturday afternoon and evening, Aug. 27, promises to be a notable affair.

The Gunboats Newark andi Bennington Ordered to the Bosphorus. OUTRAGES UPON MISSIONARIES MUST BE REDRESSED. ’ ] The Czar Fursues His Policy of Russia for the Russians—Harsh Measures Adopted —Meeting: of Cyclists at Cologne Watched by European Military Men— Hebrews of Canada Maligned by a Montreal Judge—Europs’s Capitals. WASHINGTON, D. O., Aug. 20.—Mussionary troubles in Turkey, such as the burning of Dr. Bartlett’s house at Bourdour, Asia Minor, which has occasioned the sending of the gunboats Newark and Bennington to the Bosphorus to enforce the United States’ de- mand for ‘‘effective protection, indemnity, punishment ofthe guilty parties and repri- mand ot the authorities, if found remiss,’’ have been of frequent occurrence. The first and most prominent case dates back to May, 1883, when two missionaries of the American Presbyterian Church, Rey. Dr. G. OC. Ray- nolds and Rev. Mr. Knapp, were attacked near Bitlis, Asia Minor, by a band of Kurds under the leader- ship of a chief named Moussa Bey. School troubles have largely been at the bot- tom of the hostility to American mission- aries. Dr. Raynolds, one of Moussa Bey’s Victims, established sOme thirty or more American missionary schools in Syria and other portionsof the Turkish dominions. In 1888 these schools were summarily closed by the Turkish authorities on the ground that the missionaries violated the Turkish school laws by admitting and attempting to proselytize Moslem children, On the 25th of April, 1880, Minister Hirsch reported to the State Department as follows: ‘‘Nearly a year agotwo American mission- aries, Rev. Mr. McDowell and Dr, Wischard, were traveling through the mountains of Boshkale near the Persian frontier, when they were enticed intoa secluded valley and robbed by some of the Nestorian mountain- eers. No steps weretaken by the Turkish authorities for the arrest and punishment of the offenders.’’ ; This unredressed outrage being followed by the burning of Dr. Bartlett’s house led the State Department to the conclusion that its demands upon Turkey for protection to American missionaries must be enforced by something stronger than dipiomatic corre- spondence. Hence the dispatch of the gun- boats to the Bosphorus. contemporaneously with the request for reparation and in- demnity. This morning’s press dispatches announce that the Newark sailed yesterday from Gibraltar for Genoa. The Bennington is al- ready on its wayto that port, both vessels being under orders to participate in the Columbian celebration there. They will probably receive their orders assigning them to active duty in Turkish waters at Toulon, France, to-morrow, where both vessels are directed to stop for mail. It is understood that cable orders to await instructions either at Toulon or at Barcelona, Spain, where they stop have been sent to the coaamanders. RUSSIA FOR RUSSIANS. POLICY PURSUED BY THE GOVERNMENT AT ST. PETERSBURG—A NEW LAW. St. PETERSBURG, Aug. 20.—Russia for the Russians. This is the line of policy now pur- sued by the Government in St. Petersburg, Those within the borders of the Czar’s do- main who will not be Russians must emli- grate. With the Minis- this object in view ter of Public Education has made the use of Russian language compul- sory in such navil schools of the Duchy of Courland as have hitherto been exempt from this obligation. Moreover, new regu- lations have been introduced at the University at Dorpat, in the Prov- ince of Livonia, comprising the _ sub- the university into facul- ties, the introduction of the system of courses of lectures and by examinations. Furthermore, it has been decided to prohibit the admission of fresh members of the var- fous students’ clubs, whereby these clubs will soon cease to exist, and, finally, it is in- tended to increase the number of lectures given inthe Russian language at this uni- versity. The railway officials in the Baltic provinces have received notice that they must prove their efficiency in the Russian language before an examining commission sent from St. Petersburg. The dissatisfaction among the German colonists on the Volga is increasing. When wniversal military service on the German system was introduced into Russia the Ger- man colonists were told that they must eith- er serve or go. Many ofthem, especially the Mennonites, who are a kind of Quakers, chose the latter alternative and departed. The next thing to gowas the self-govern- ment. The colonists used to be governed by a sort of elective counctl, which met at Sara- tof, and was called the ‘‘Office.’’ This body regulated the village commune. The **Oftice’’ has been abolished and the German colonists have been gradually brought under the controlling influence of Kus- sian institutions. Even their re- ligion is threatened now, Fresh encroach- ments on their civil and religious liberty are of almost dally occurrence and their inde- pendence may already be described as a thing of the past. They are, therefore, em!i- grating in large numbers to the United states. 7 A new law was promuigated to-day, mak- ing the purchase of grain from distressed peasants under the market rates punishable by six months’ imprisonment, besides the payment of the full market price. The ob- ject ofthe Government is said to be to pre- vent the peasants from being robbed of their grain by usurers, who go about the villages sometimes getting the peasants drunk in order toobtain possession of the peasants’ little harvest. Other measures are also un- der consideration intended to protect the peasantry agaiust their own improvidence and the avarice of others. OYCLISTS FOR THE ARMY. MILITARY MEN WATCHING DEVELOPMENTS AT COLOGNE, BERLIN, Aug. 20.—The greatest reunion of cycliststhe continent has seen began yes- terday in Cologne. About 5,000 men from Germany and Austria are present with their wheels and some of the big men of both empires are taking part in the programme. Among those participating in the opening exercises of the meeting werethe Prince Zu Wein, Freihre Von Leo, commanding gener- al of the Eighth Army Corps; Gen. Von Sckeepp, Governor of Cologne, and Count yon Luettighan, colonel and Commander of the German Culrassiets. The chief day of the meeting will be to-morrow. In the morning | sts willcompete in a prize course the enalong the Kingstrasse the championship of Germany will be made. In the evening there will be fancy riding in- doors. On Monday the race for the Emperor William II, prize takes place. The meeting is watched with unusual interest by German military men who believe that the bicycle hasa great future in the military courler service. Gen. Von Kaltenborn-Stachau, War Minister, is in favor of attaching bicycle corps to all considera bie bo@ies of troops,and at the coming maneuvers on the French bor- practicability of sucha plan. Gen. Von Loe, who Is now at the Cologne meeting, is said to be preparing a report of his observations for the War Department. LONDON’S BOHEMIA. - WEEKLY REVIEW OF ART, LITERATURE AND THE . DRAMA. LonpDon, Aug. 20.—The phenomenal success of the music halls during the past season is having an effect upon London’s theatrical and musical caterers. During the coming season quite a flood of new burlesques and comic operas are promised. In addition to the conversion ofthe Royal English Opera- house into a music hall, the Royalty, Olympic and probably the Shaftesbury theaters in- tend to forsake the serious line. The new burlesques are too numerous to mentioh, but as the provincial demand is equal to that of London there is little doubt that all of them will get atrial. Mr. Robert L. Buchanan, the playwright, will make his firstattemptat comic opera this season, besides filling the commissions hehasin hand for plays for Messrs, E. 8, Willard and Beerbohm Tree, It is understood that Miss Decima Noore will be the heroine of the new comic opera with which Mr. Levenson intends to open the new Trafalgar Square Theater early in Sep- tember. A three-act comic opera by Howard Talbot has just been finished. It is called ‘‘The Mahatma,’’ and is said to be brimful of charming music. The libretto is by Mr. Edgar Lee, and contains avery clever parody on theosophy, which cannot help being more amusing than the real thing. After a run of three weeks, Mr. Charles Wyndham has withdrawn ‘‘Haste to the Wedding’’ from the boards of the Criterion. The next feature at the Gaiety Theater will be a burlesque serpentine quadrille danced by several girls dressed in vari-colored cos- tumes. Miss Ellen Terry, it will be recalled, is the sister-in-law of Rev. H. W. Wardell, vicar of St. Giles’ Church, Colchester. A few days ago a bazaar was held at Colchester, the ob- ject being to procure funds to restore the church. The bazaar was held at Holly Trees, the beautiful residence of Mr. James Rounds, member of Parliament for the Harwich ivisionof Essex, and was opened by Lady Brook. Miss Terry wasin attendance, and her presence drew tothe bazaar an immense crowd. The affair was most successful, both socially and financially, and the money raised will go far toward putting old st. Giles into good repairagain. At present Miss Terry is staying at Winchelsea,in the cottage she bought from Mr. Comyns Carr. She is living with her son, who is known on the Stageas Gordon Craig, and her daughter, who, under the name of Allsa Craig, has sey- eral times appeared in amateur theatricals. Mr. Henry Abbey has arranged with Imre Kiralfy to produce in New Yor‘ the operatic dramatic spectacle, **Venice,’’ which has had such a long and _ =~s5uc- cessful run at the Olymp‘a in London. One of the last places of amuse- ment visited by the late Duke of Clarence and his fancee, Princess May, was the Olympia. They were accompanied by the Prince of Wales and otber members ofthe royal fam- ily. The whole party entered gondolas and visited every part ot ‘‘Venice.’’ The musical season will commence this year somewhat earlier than usual. Signior Lagos’ autumn operas will be given at the Olympia Theater. Heintends totry the ex- periment of commencing the performances earlier thanso’clock. He has been induced to try this innovation by recent comolatints that the Covent Garden operas conciude so late that patrons living at a distance are obliged to leave beforethey are finished in order to catch the last trains for their homes. Mr. Heneschel has accepted an invitation to conduct a concert in September at the Vienna Dramatical and Musical Exhibition. He will play his ‘‘Hamlet’’ music. concert season. M. Saint-Saens has accepted an invitation to conduct the concerts at the Chicago Co- lumbian Exposition. The death of Mme. Sedelile Trebelli, the contralto at Etretat, France, was very sud- den. It was due to a paralytic seizure sinji- lar to the one that she experienced four years ago, which practically ended her career asa singer. The Austrian Government has interdicted the circulation@gf Zola’s ‘‘La Debacle,’’ on the ground that the work tends to aisturb public peace. The real reason for forbidding the sale of the book in Austria, however, is that it paints the horrors of war so forcibly that it inspires a hatred of militarism. Mr. Oscar Wilde intends to visit America in the autumn inorderto superintend the pro. duction of his new play, which is to be brought out in New York. Itis expected that he will remain about two months. Mr. Whistler, who recently abandoned London for Paris, has taken a small house in the Faubourg St. Germain, which be is em- bellishing in the empire style. Lord and Lady Rockwood have presented a copy of~the ‘‘Vinegar’’ Bible to Hatfleld Broad Oak Church, Essex. It is one of the famous editions printed at the Clarendon press in 1717, which received its name in consequence of the heading to the, 20th chapter of Luke being printed, ‘‘The Parable of the Vinegar,’’ instead of ‘‘The Parable of the Vineyard.’’ The effect of the printer’s error and of time has been to give the ‘*Vinegar Bible’’ a special velue. BATTLE WITH ARABS. CONGO STATE FORCES WIN A VICTORY ON THE SANKORON RIVER. BRUSSELS, Congo State announcés that a Congo State force has defeated the Arabs on the Sankor- on River, nearthe place wherethe Hodister expedition was massacred. Ten chiefs were killed and 700 men captured by the troops. The Governor does not think thatthe rising will spread. Lieut. Tobback, a resident of the Congo State, has reported to the Governor-General of the county that although Arabs have made hostile attacKs they are notin general re- volt, and that these disorders have consisted in mere acts of brigandage, their sole motive being a desire for plunder. The last Arab attacks, reports Lieut. Tob- back, began at Ribariba. Messrs. Michaels, Jouret and Noblesse were killed. Two other officiais escaped. Several powerful chiefs, including Tippoo Tib, who played so promt- nent a part in the Stanley expedition,remain faithful. An early repression of the troubles is expected. CHOLERA IN RUSSIA, THE PLAGUE INCREASING IN VIOLENOE THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. St. PETERSBURG, Aug. 20.—According to the officialreturns there were reported yester- day throughout Russia 7,877 new cases of cholera and 38,482 deaths from the disease. Compared with the report of yesterday giv- ing the new cases and deaths for Wednesday, to-day’s report shows a decrease of 581 new cases and an increase of 275 deaths. The disease continues with increasing Violence in the Caucasus territory. At Kuban alone the records show that on Aug. 15, there were 1,211 cases reported. The percentage of deaths in Kuban ts enor- , ous, reaching over 50 percent. On the i6th | inst. the deaths reported were 647. During the past twenty-four hours there have been reported in this city ninety-two new cases of cholera and thirteen deaths.

A DEATH IN PARIS. Paris, Aug. 20.—The cholera scare has been revived here to-day by the sudden dramatic death ofa man last night. About midnight a workman returning to his home was suda- denly seized with cramps in the street and suffered so excruciatingly that he fell tothe grouna. An officer immediately went to his ‘assistance and found him suffering with cholera. He was removed to the hospital without delay, but died within an hour after admission. : PANIC 1N CONSTANTINOPLE. CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 20.—The Sultan and his Court and all his Ministers of State, ex- cepting those of war and the interior, have fled to Elbruzg Mountains to escape the cholera. There exsts almost a panic here among the population and everyone who is able has gotten away from the city. Sev- eral hundreds have been turned back.in their flight by the frightened peasants. The last issue ofthe Persian official Gazette contains terrible descriptions of devastation by the cholera in that country. NEAR MOYSNER. BERLIN, Aug. 20.—Several cases of Asiatic cholera are reported from Mayence, near Metz.

HEBREW RESIDENTS OF CANADA REVILED BY JUDGE DUGAS, MONTREAL, Aug. 20.—Jewish immigration was attacked vigorously by Judge Dugas to- day. The Judge stated that in proportion to thei: population the Jews occupied more of ihe attention of the court than any other ng tionality. Continuing he said they were the most undesirable class of immigrants and that if their condition didnot improve he would ask the Government to restrict this class of immigration, The Geological Soctety of America has ac: cepted the invitation exténded to it by the Royal Society of Canada through its presi- dent, Dr Bourinot, Q.

AFTER CALIFORNIA FREIGHT BUSINESS, The Union Pacific Preparing to Supplant the Southern Pacific. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal,, Aug. 20.—A statement is published here that the Union Pacific is only waiting developments before it makes an effort to secure the Calffornia freight business heretofore controlled by the South- ern Pacific sunset route. The new Hnesof clipper ships between here and New York have made serious inroads intothe Southern Pacific business and caused the company.to call on the Transcontinental for help. The Pacific Mail Steamship Co., controlled by the Southern Pacific, has always been handled as aciub with whichto threaten any intended competition by water. As it is likely that the Transcontinental Association wili refuse to pay a subsi.ly any longer the Union Pacitic will scon be ready for business. In view of this condition of affairs the latter railroad is now preparine to increase its steamer service between San Francisco and Portiand. Instead of one steamer every three or four days, dally steamers will be run, reaching Oregon as soo). asthe trains do. Thattheline from Astoria to Portiand is being built by the Union Pacific is an open secret, and one-quarter of the road is now compieted. When this ‘ine is finished the Union Pacific steamers will land their fretght Ea.t. itis estimated that the average time from San Francisco to Astoria will be thirty-six hours. TWO new steamers are to be secured at once for the trade, and the Union Pacific belleves that by thus showing the merchants of San Francisco its ea erness to help them out it will secure a good portion of their trade, which is nowin control of the Pacific Mail Steamship Co. The Great Northern also proposesto dip into the California business by run- ning steamer lines between San Francisco and the Sound, and lateron itis cunfidently belleved President Hill will carry out his | original idea of buildinzalineof road from ' Butte, Mont., via Boise City, down to San Francisco. Thus both Mnes arereaching out for the California trade. TO SECURE BETTER RATES. LITTLE Rock, Ark., Aug. 20.—For several months past the Board of Trade, through its Transportation and Trade Committees, has been at work endeavoring to secure better freight transportation rates for the mer- chants and manufacturers of thiscity. The committee has had several meetings and considerable correspondence has been had with the officials of both the Missouri Pacific and St. Louis Southwestern railway companies. The re-— sult of this work upto this time isthata committee of the board, consisting of W. T. Wilson, W. H. McAfee, J. J. Mandlebaum and George R. Brown, Chairman of the Com. mittee on Transportation, will leave to-mor- row night for St. Louis to meet Mr. Parker, Traffic Manager of § the Missourl PacifiC Railway ©o. on Mon- day. The committee will also meet by appointment General Manager Doddridge of the St. Louis Southwestern Rallway Co. The committee will be accompanied by A. R. Bragg, division freight agent at this place of the Missourl Pacific Railway Co. The busi- ness between the Board of Trade andthe railway companies is being conducted ina very pleasant and agreeable manner, and there is no doubt that good results will en- sue, JAY GOULD DISPLEASED. OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 20.—There is consider- able speculation in local railway circles over the absence of representatives of the Gould lines from the meeting of the Western Pas- senger Association.

An ftron- clad agreement was signed. This puts an end to the rate war. Injured While at Work. At 4:30 o’clock yesterday afternoon Otto Derzell, a German, 30 years old, employed by Windell & Roke, builders, as a laborer on the new buliding being erected at the south east corner of Twelfth and Locust streets, was engaged in hoisting timbers when a rope broke and he was struck on the head by atimber. He was examined by Dr. Newell of i227 Washingt n avenue, who pronounced He was sent to the City Hospi al. At 2 p. m, yestegday Dennis Fora, aged 23. living at 2017 Bissell street, while at work in the Mississippi Glass \\orks, Main and An- gelica streets, had his left wrist lacerated by |& pane of giass he was handling.

ITS MEMBERS ARE ARISTOCRATS AND NOT CLOSE TO THE PEOPLE. $$ Home Rule Will Pass the House of Com: mons-—It Will Be the First Measure of Importance to Be Taken Up by Parliament—Irish Factions Still Wide Apart—The Peace Delegation—Labor Men as Legislators. Lonpon, Aug. 20.—The Radical revolt 18 serious. Thereits no mincing or gainsaying that the Radicals are angry. They make no concealment of their rage at being rejected by Gladstone in his Cabinet selections and of their purpose to assert themselves at the coming session of Parliament. The Radicals assert that but for their votes Mr. Gladstone would have been left ina minority and that the Whig aristocrats whom he recalled or elevated to office are no more representative of the masses that constitute the Liberal ma- jority inthe late election than Lord Salis- bury himself. They declare that the time has passed forthe people of England tobe represented ina Liberal Cabinet by aristo- crats with titles and tuft hunting candidates for titles and that the people are now strong enough to see that menof the people shall have a voice in the government. It is reported that there isa strong proba- bility of a coalition between the Radicals and the Parnellites. Should such a combination be formed the Cabinet would either have to bow to its wishes or resign. The Parnellites alone do not control votes enough to defeat Mr. Gladstone, but united with Mr. Labou- chere and his associates, they could easily rule or ruin the Liberal government, The situation is causing great anxiety, which Mr. Gladstone is known to share, and the only solution appears to be such recog- nition ofthe Radicals as will bind them to the Liberalranks. This, at present, is not probable, as Mr. Gladstone is said to be en- tirely bound up with his Whig advisers. HOME RULE WILL WIN. The SUNDAY PostT-DISPATCH correspondent has had conversations with several leading members ofthe Irish party and they all con- curred in belfeving thatthe present Parlila- ment will see home rule passed. The attempts of a section of the Radical party to disturb the precedence of home rule, they say, have completely failed. They all now recognize that home rule must be the first and chief business of the new Parlia- ment. Every meinber of Gladstone’s admin- istration, fromttie highest to the lowest, was questioned personally by Gladstone as to his views on home rule, and they have all taken office on the express understanding that home rule is to have the _prior- ity over everything. As to the House of Lords, the Irish members believe that in accordance with its usual tac- tics that body will shrink from a decisive conflict with the democracy. The first busi- ness Morley proposes to undertake will be the appointment of a commission to inquire into the cases of evicted tenants. This meas- ure,itishoped, may tide over the period until Parliament Meets and prevent the tenants from listening to the counsels of desperation which are being addressed to them by the Parnellites or driven into crimes by the studied provocation of the landlords, The difficulty of dealing effectively with the evictedtenants question under even the most favorable conditions wiil be enormous, and if a feeling is aroused in England at out- rages or disturbances during the coming winter, it will be well nigh impossible for Gladstone to do anything for them. THE PEACE DELEGATION. The American peace delegation has deter- mined to remain some time longer in Ireland. The members of it are still in communication with both sides in the Irish struggle. Their mediation can have no result whatever. The Parnellites are determined to destroy the home rule movement by raising the cry of clerical intimidation, which ts the most potent that could be addressed to the English electorate, The outiook in Ireland bristles with difficuities which will be enormously aggravated if the religious feeling can be im- parted into the struggle in England. In fact that is the object of the Parnellites’ election petitions in Northand -outh Meathand there are good reasons to anticipate that these petitiOns will succeed in their object. Labouchere isthe only considerable poli- ticlan who fl..ds himself excluded from the new government, He says that it was the Queen, but itis understood that Gladstone could have surmounted the difficulties raised by the Queen had he not been incensed by Labouchere’s paragraphs in Truth proposing to shelve homerule. It is Labouchere’s in- tention to give publicity to what he calls the ‘‘royal intrigue’’ against him, and the idea that he has been victimized by royal dislike has already immensely increased his popu- larity and importance.” The exclusion of Prof. Stewart, editor and _ principal proprietor of the Star hewspaper, has also caused surprise. The Staris already, conse- quently, showing its teeth, and wil], very likely, become the organ of the@sore-heads, who need be not very numerous to destroy Gladstone’s majority, asthe Parnellites can be confidently counted upon to cast their nine votes against him at the first oppor- tunity that they can Compass his defeat. The Tories in Newcastie are less confident of beating John Morley than they were, THE LABOR MEN. Keir Hardie, it is believed, has been effect. ually spiked, anda rumor is prevalent in Liberal circles that he will not even go to Newcastle before the polling, which takes place on Thursday next. Burns and the other Labor men were against Keir Hardie’s action from the first, and it is very unlikely that there will be any further trouble from that quarter, The Inde- pendent Labor party numbers four members andthe absence of any unity of purpose or policy bet veen these four is strikingly illus- trated by the fact that they cannot agree as to which side of the House they shall sit. Burns and Hardie have taken up their places with the Opposition, while Woods and Wilson have gone over to the ministerial benches as followers of the Government, PLURAL VOTING. dstone has written a letter in reply Megas on as to whether he would submit the measure to Parliament to abolish plural voting, in which he says that the Govern- ment has too recently come into office to make a practical attemptin November next to pass legislation affecting the one man one vote question. The matter, Mr. Gladstone adds, will receive the earliest possible atten- tion, when it will not encumbered with schemes for the redistribution of seats or re- duction of the strength Of the Irish members of the House of Commons, Mr. Michael Davitt spoke to-day at New- castie in supportof the Right Hon. John Morley, Chief Secretary for Ireland. Mr. Davitt declared that he did not believe tne Irish question would 890 monopoiize Parlia- mentas tosbutout questions affecting the, welfare of British workingmen. He stated that he had the consent of seventy of hig col- Jeagues to declare nf The Irish members want the Government to that they would voteas. one man in favor of measures to improve the condition of the workingmen. _ EVICTED IRISZ TENANTS. John Moerly, the Chief Secretary for Ire- land, is inbstitutinga committee of inquiry into the position of the evicted Irish tenants and the holders of evicted lands, the com- mission to report in time to prepare a bill be- fore the opening of Parliamenton Nov. 4. make an advance from the treasury for the relief of evicted tenants, relying onthe ma- jority in Parliament to confirm the grant. Mr. Gladstone has charged Rt. Hon. Henry Fowler, President of the Local Government Board, to prepare a measure completing the local self-government of the Metropolis. The Rt. Hon, A. J. Mandell, President of the Board of Trade; Rt. Hon. Henry H. Fowler, the President of the Local Government Board, and Tom Burke, Liberal member for Morpeth, form the Liberal Committee ap- pointed toconsider the eight-hour miners’ bill, theamount of Mability of employers, etc, . Mr. Arthur Herbert Ackland, Vice-Presi- dent of the Couneil on Education; James Bryce, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, and the Right Hon, Shaw Lefevre, First Com- missioner of Works, form the Committee on Parish Councils, John Morley’s re-election in Newcastle-on- ; Tyne is likely to be attended with difficulty. His co-member, CO. F. Hammond, ihe Con- servative Alderman, says Morley will be de- feated by at least 500. Should this occur, Stuart Pendel, the Liberal member for Mont- gomeryshire, will receive a portfolio, and Morley will take the seat thus made vacant- LONDON TOPICS. SOME EFFECTS OF THE MINISTERIAL CHANGE— CLUB GOSSIP. Lonpon, Aug. 20.—The change in the min- istry is more wide-reaching in its effects than one would at first suppose, and itis not only in political circles that it causes upheavals. It has also overflowed Mme. Tussaud’s great red brick palace in the Marylebone road, where all sorts of preparations are being made that an Ingulsitive public may delight its eyes with contemplation of the features of the men who are to direct the Bark Brit. tania through the troubled waters of the Irish Channel. Mr. . Gladstone, who is, naturally enough, always kept in stock, has been dusted and overhauled and extra touches of paint have been given him and new color so that he looks quite fresh while his colleagues who have not done anything do deserve peaceinthis National Hall are being molded and modeled as fast as skillful hands can work at them. Lord Iveagh will, it is said, spend no Iéss than a quarter of a million sterling for .{m- provements in Savernake, for which he gave three-quarters ofa million. The change will undoubtedly be’a good one forthe estate, as it was fast goingtothe dogs under lack of management of the former owner. A very interesting question has been asked this week which ts of interest, not only to the world of letters, but to society at large, namely: Does Lord Tennyson still draw a pension of £200, which was given to him in 1840 by Sir Robert Peel, at Carlyle’s request? At that time ‘the poet Laur- eate, then a struggling young Man of 82, did not have many if any of this world’s goods, and there was rea- son in the grant. Now, however, he is rich, and his publications alone pay him £2,000, sO that his income altogether must be a fairly good one. Noreply hasat present been vouchsafed to this question, either because it is thought that the publichas no right to inquire or else because itis not deemed expedient to admit that this is a fact. Ever since Miss Connie Gilehrist became a member of the aristocracy by her formal al- liance with the Earl of OrkneyAhere has been great deivand for her portraits, taken in those light and airy costumes for which she was justly celebrated while at the Galety Theater, before attaining the dignity of the leading lady of the com- pany. The demand, it now turns out, was not onthe partof disconsolate ad- mirers, who are anxiousto possess a testi-* mony ofhercharms, butis due entirely to the fact that the Earl of Orkney is opposed to allowing minor mortals to share with him the pleasure of gazing on even the reproduction of these charms in miniature. Numerous photographers to whom the_~ erstwhile Coryphes at for portraits, which showed a plentiful expanse of upper andlower extrem- itiesas well as bust, have naturaliy pre- served the negatives and being usually ofa wide-awake disposition they will doubtless continue to supply the demand for some time until the Earl is ready to buy up and destroy the negatives. The interest which the Queen takes in music does not diminish with her advancing years. As is well-known Her Majesty in- vites, or rather commands, musicians of celebrity to appear before her and divert her with their skill, The latest to beso honored is Sig. Tosti, the well-known . song writer, and Johannas Wolff, who has this week been bidden tothe castle at Osborne, where they will make music for the ‘*‘grand old dame’’ who must have it wherever she goes. Tosti has for a long time been a favorite with the Queen, and always accom- panies her whenever, with the hardihood which distinguishes her incursions into various artistic fislas, Her Majesty feels tempted to sing. The subscriptions to the Manning memorial now amount to nearly £5,000. The memorial will be a refuge for the homeless poor, with- out distinction of creed, but under Catholic management, Anne Hathaway’s cottage at Shottery has been purchased by the Shakespeare Birth- place trustees from Alderman Thompson of Strathford on Avon for £3,000. The trustees have also bought the furniture belonging to the occuprnt, Mrs. Baker, said to be related to Anne Hathaway by collateral descent. The kitchen is wainscoted with carved oak, but several pieces are missing. Mrs, Baker will continue in charge as custodian with herson,. The trustees will restore the cottage to its original condition, and the cot- tage will be governed by the same regula- tions as the birthplace and new place. The @obe this afternoon reports that to-day | while the Queen was driving near Osborne House, Isle of Wight,a man making violent, gesticulations approached thecarriage He told the Queen that he was a foreigi Count aud that he and many others had sworn that ifshe did not resign they would kill her. Her Majesty listened and never once betrayed nervousness, gazing calmly at the man. An attendant dismounted and going quietly to the man got him away. He was handed over to a constable and lodged in jail.” There is no doubt that hells insane, TO SAVE SCANDAL. THE DUCHESS OF MANCHESTER WILL PAY THE CLAIM OF BESSIE BELLWOO4Q. LONDON, Aug. 20.—It is stated that Bessie Bellwood proposes to continue her suit for the recovery of money alleged to have been due to her by tbe late Duke of Manchester. As the widowed Duchess was reconciled to her husband some time before his death it is expected that the claim will be paid rather than have the scandal of his life reapened, The late Duke left whatever disposable prop- erty he had in trust with the Duchess fore their children, who have life interests in it, As under the marriage settlement of Louise, Dowager Duchess of Manchester, now Duch- ess Of Manchester, the property she received | under her late husband’s will will revert to the Duke who has just died, Consuelo, Duch- ess of Manchester, willend her days in com- parative affluence.

Physicians were hastily summoned. They watched through the entire night, administering every potion and rendering every aid within their power.

This guarantees the market to the American producer, stimu- lates competition and brings down the price; at least this is what Mr. McKinley says. : - THE causes of Boss Platt’s sulkiness are fiot wholly political. There is a bright prospect that he cannot longer fatten upon the starvation of American workmen by employing convict chain gangs in his Ten- nessee mines. Ir would be very nice indeed if employ- ers and workingmen, in a spirit of sweet rea would always submit their differences to arbitrators, but some- how employers, when in possession of privileges, do not think it pays to be nice. a _ LC Tun World’s Fair Commission has de» cided that it would not comport with the dignity of the event to sell the souvenir coins to a syndicate to be retailed ata heavy profit.

No expense of labor has been spared to make them incomparable, and although the cost has been enormous the plans have been devised and executed with taste and care, and the result will fully justify it. The Exposition, which opens on Sept. 7, with its art and industrial displays and Gilmore’s famous band, the Veiled Prophet’s pageant and ball, the Fair and the many spectacular features of the fes- tivities offer rare opportunities for enjoy- ment. The city isrich in points of inter- est and beauty, and in extending a cordial invitation to the world to come and join in her festivities St. Louis can assure her visitors that they will be hospitably enter- tained and amply repaid. The celebration of the Columbian quadracentennial begins here, and in their way the St.Louis festivi- ties will be unique and rarely attractive. Low transportatioy rates offer an excep- tional opportunity to enjoy the most su- perb carnival on earth. — oo PERSONAL JOURNALISM. We are sorry to see the editor of the Globe-Democrat dragging Father Phelan ofthe Western Watchman into a contest of mutual defamation, a personal contro- versy that apparently has no object in view but to show which of the two can be ‘most abusive and bespatter the other with the most disgraceful aspersions. The obligation of a public journal to ex- pose misfeasance in office is unquestion- able. The journal that refuses to dis- charge this public duty—that conceals its | knowledge of official corruption and does not denounce it—makes itself acces- sory to the crime, like the man who, out of friendship for the thief or for ashare of the plunder, helps to conceal stolen property. Even in arraigning offi- cial delinquency, without traveling be- yond the official record to hold private character or a man’s private life up to ob- loquy, a newspaper must expect to be sus- pected of acting from personal animosity rather than from a just sense of public duty. Eventhen, when it touches noth- ing but official conduct and says nothing that it cannot fully justify to the satisfac- tion of a court of justice, the faithful news- paper mustexpect a storm of abuse and misrepresentation from business rivals that can see in its fidelity nothing but **sensational persecution,’’ ‘*malicious hounding’’ and ‘‘personal journalism.’’ When a newspaper that has recently led this sort of howl against truthful expo- sures of official delinquency at the Four Courts, turns right around and begins a personal crusade against the priest who edits a Catholic paper, denouncing him as a drunkard, a liar and a libertine, and holding him up to public hatred as a man of utterly depraved character and beastly private life, what public duty is discharged, what public service is rendered by such attacks on the private character of one who holds no office in the gift of the peo- ple and is not a candidate ior one? Is it not enough forthe public to know that Father Phelan’s priestly short-com- ings, whatever they were, have been in- vestigated and condoned by the authorities of his church? An attempt to exaggerate and blazon them toallthe world may be safer and more profitable work than ex- posing official short-comings atthe Four Courts, but cannot rise above the dignity of vicious hatred of the man and malice toward the church that accredits and shel- ters him. —_—_———— i — oO WINNING OF THE WEST. A Democratic victory in the Northwest will ‘shatter forever the power of the ‘tdoubtful State’’ and emancipate the country from plutocratic control. It wild make it impossible for a few hundred yoters in the State of New York to insure the election of a President rejected bya majority of the people. Once break the solid Northwest and prin- ciple will reappear in politics and the occu- pation of the vote buyer and his pluto- cratic backer will be gone. It is possible to divide floaters into blocks of five with a trusty man in charge in one or two States, but such tactics are impracticable in the agricultural communities of the West. The people of those States are intelligent and honest and open to reason. Through force of habit they have for a quarter of a century voted for the party of plutocracy without realizing that they were forging their own fetters. They have suffered much from the de, vastating policy of Republicanism and itis only necesary to point out to them ‘the source of their wrongs and the remedy to induce them to break away from their old prejudices and habits. They must be educated. Men do not vote right uniess they think correctly and it is the purpose of this campaign of education to impart correct ideas concerning polit- ical duties. But education cannot be had fora wish. Itcostsmoney. Itis proposed to raise a fund to be used in the agricultural States of the West and Northwest. Speakers will be sent to every town and village and political literature will be placed in the hands of évery citizen. ; This fund is to bé raised by popular sub- scription. It has nothing in common with plutocratic campaign funds, because every penny received will be expended in the propagation of ideas, not in the purchase of votes. The Democrats of Missouri and Arkansas are expected to co-operate. One dollar will be welcome, one dime will be not less gladjy received, No cause is worthier, because it is the cause of the people against the dominion of the pluto- crats. It should command the enthusiastic support of all right-thinking citizens, who should be proud to participate in such a work. Will you hélp? ae— ——— oO | — STATE AND CORPORATION RIGHTS. The favorite reply of railway corpora- tion managers when they are asked to sub- mit differences with their employes to ar- bitration is that they cannot consent to interference with their business and that they propose to run it to suit themselves. The State is then called upon to protect them in the right of doing this. The State is bound to preserve the peace and protect property, but the right of railway officiais to run their business to suit themselves may be questioned. A railway company isa soulless corporation created by the State and invested with certain special powers and valuable privileges. Itis not areal person recog- nizing moral obligations, but a fictitious person having existence under State sanc- |} tion solely for’ the purpose of making money. The State has.a right to insist that its special privileges be used and its powers exercised with due regard to the interests of-the State and the welfare of its citizens. Itcan insist that the protection of the created rights of such corporations shall not involve the promotion of wrongs. It is within the province of the State’s powers to regulate the conduct of its creatures. It is not improbable that this power may be successfully asserted with reference to all corporations, but it is especially clear in the case of railways, which enjoy exclusive privileges and are under well defined obli- gations to the State. The situation in New York, where trade is paralyzed and the State is put to enor- mous cost through the refusal of railroad officials to accept the means of arbitration provided by the State, calls up the question | of how much expense the State must stand to prevent such disorders..It suggests some well-guarded form of compulsory arbitration as a légitimate method of avoiding disastrous railway strikes. Ifa favored creature of the State will not re- gard right, reason or the State’s welfare in the exercise of its vested powers it may be compelled to do so by law or be deprived of those powers. oe a THE Citizens’ Smoke Abatement Asso- ciation is doing good work and deserves the heartiest support. The nuisance is on its last legs in Chicago, where 40 per cent of the establishments have adopted devices of one sort or another toconsume the grimy plague. The tug owners, which were pér- haps the worst offenders, have capitulated to public opinion and undertaken to com- ply with the ordinance. On some of the railroads devices are used which are said to work perfectly and the factories are yield- ing to the pressure of cleanliness. _ There is every incentive for the adoption of similar remedies in St. Louis, and no reason can be urged against the movement. It will not only make the city healthier and pleas- anter tolivein, but will save thousands annually. If the people will takea de- termined stand and co-operate heartily with the association in its efiorts for the public good the end can be accom- plished in a very short time. —, THAT Senator Cockrell will not have a walk-over for United States Senator, and that Francis is a candidate for the position, was shown in the Cole County Convention for the selection of county officers held last week.

If she ts no better off she has dis- tinctly failed. It is indeed a sad pass we have come to if the best we can say for ourselves is that we are no worse off than our neighbors. But who will deny that free America is drifting into a condition which will justify this gibe. — a 4 — a AN officer of the coal combine is quoted as saying that the trust would soon begin exporting anthracite to England. ‘*The advantage of working up this foreign mar- ket is not confined to money to be made di- rectly from such sales, The scheme’s great value is that it will if «successful afford re- lief from any glutin the market here and will enable the ‘coal combination to hold | home prices stiff.’’ The man is a humor- ist. Consumefs think prices are pretty. stiff already and the market is not likely : to be glutted as long as the . combine con- trol the whole anthracite supply. The ‘*scheme’’ is probably intended to enter- tain the Philadelphia papers which have infinite capacity for being galled. re ee ee THE comments of the British press on our labor troubles display a remarkable and very clear insight into the trouble- some problem. ‘‘In the main the Amer- ican people have themselves to blame,’’ says the London Chronicle, ‘‘for lack of the true public spirit in .the American Re- public is one of the saddest facts of our time.’’ Although this is true in a sense, the people can hardly be blamed for not seeing the stealthy upbuilding of the sys- tem of privileges which have generated these troubles. They have been deceived by specious arguments and beguiled into a practical surrender of their mghts. But they are waking up.

There are atleast six of the doubtful Western States open toconviction that have eighty-two elec- toral votes. The elements of discontent with McKinley- ism in several Western States need only to be consolidated. An organized educational ef- fort will bring them tnto the Democratic ranks. This accomplished and Democratic success is assured in any event. Now is the time for earnest work and gen- erous contributions. The dignity of Ameri- can politics will experience a mighty ele- vating impulse when the protest that over- whelms cKinleyism shall be a representa- tive one, rather than the deciding volceofa single pivotal State. The harvest is ready, Send forth the reapers! Mr. Platt’s Reserv>. From the New York Times. Mr, Thomas C. Platt has broken the iIrrt- tated reserve that he at first assumed regard- ing the employment of convicts in the iron mines of his company in Tennessee, He only repeats, however, the statement made by the officers of the company on the ground, and says that he is ready torelease the State if the State will release his company. This conflicts with his previous remark that he would be glad to have the State break the contract, for he could then sue it for dam- ages. We do wish, though, that he would give some public explanation of his ppsition as a Friend of American Labor, and how h® reconciles his employment of convicts with his professed desire to pay the highest wages to his workmen possible from the proceeds of the import duties on Iron, There is no check on his liberality from the necessity of competing with the pauper labor of Europe. itis only his own workmen that suffer from competition, and that with labor much more ‘‘degraded’’ and far cheaper than any in England—the labor of convicts, bought up by the year’s output. Underclothes. From the New York WORLD. In 1891 there were imported into this coun- try underclothes ranging in price from $1.50 per dozen to more than $10adozen, to the value of $512,243. This was the sum paid to the exporters. This amount of underclothes was bought and paid for by American citi- zens. On this amount they paid a tax aggregating $287, 376. Under the law In existence before the pas- sage of the McKinley law the tax would have been $204,897. The McKinley bill added $182, - 479 to the cost of foreign underclothes in 1891, and very much more to the cost of domestic underclothes. i Luminous Logie. From the Indianapolis» Centine. The people were just becoming acquainted with the theory that it was the intent of the McKinley bill to check imports when the New York Tribune says of the late increase of Im- ports: 7 Now the country is getting dows to the nat- ural working of the néw tariff, and the ex- ceptionally large receipts are an indication of the beneficial efrects of the McKinley poil- ey. | From which we infer that ''the McKinley policy’’ is anything that happe? while the McKinley law is in effect. Pete of prayer has once more hep TEACHERS AND TOILERS, Workingmen’s Answers to Rev. Z. EK Willey’s Questions About Their Non- Attendance at Church. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: — Rev. E. E. Willey is asking ‘‘why working- meén do not come to hear sermons ia which he tries toapply the teachings of Christ to so- Clal questions.’’ The tact that the reverend gentleman is s0 applying his talents may not be sufficiently well known. How- ever, those who livéin his immediate vicin- ity, and especialiy those who have heard the sermons referred to, should be best qualified to give the reason why. ThisI know: Work- ingmenare everywhere hungering for the gospel of justice, equalrights and common brotherhood. They know that something is wrong when they who work hardest have least, and they who do least enjoy most of this world’s goods, and this they fre- alizé to be a universal fact. ‘*Workingman’’ is everywhere synonymous with the term ‘‘poor man.’’ The term ‘*‘workingman’’ has become a reproach. The poor (workineman) are branded by ‘‘after- dinner orators’’ as the ‘‘incapables.’’ In- sult is added to injury. Workingmen are stayingaway from the churches, it Is true, but that is strong evidence that the message aGelivered from the pulpit to-jay is not that of giad tidings to the poor. In justification of things as they are ministers are too p to preach ‘‘the poor ye have with you al- ways.’’ ‘they seldom, if .ever, explain that when Christ ultered those wor he was speaking to Pharisees and hypocrites. The attitude of the churches toward the wrongs of to-day recalls to memory the attitude they bore to the question of human slavery. ‘‘Servants obey your masters,’’ and thus preaching they obeyed and served not God but Mammon. In almost every . locality the most prominent and ‘*respect- able’? church members, the strongest pillars of the church as a rule, are the very men who profit most by the wrongs of which the masses complain. Therefore to a largeand increasing number of the plain people it appears as though the come ‘‘a en of thieves,’’ and the money changers whom Christ scourged from the temple thus seem to have taken possession of it again. The question of the unequal! distribution of wealth is up for settlement, The land ques- tion, the tariff question, the money question and the transportation question are all moral questions, the silence of the churches on which Is justly regarded by working men as due to time serving moral cowardice, There isaclose and inseparable relationsni tween justice and the golden rule, It is the duty of the church and ofall good men and women to speak out distinctly and to take a definite stand onthe moral questions now before the people for settiement politically. If free trade, for in- stance, ts consistent with ‘ hrist’s teaching of common brotherhood let the churches say so. If protection is contrary to Christ and his teachings let those whose high office it is toteach the willof God speak out accord. ingly. If equal rights toland are consistent with the idea of as just God and the denial of equal rights to land is at variance with the idea of an impartial father let the ministers of the gospel so declare, and they will no longer preach to empty pews. I have heard workingmen in labor meetings say that if the churches would but show an iIn- terest in the material welfare of all men and apply the teachings of Christ to social or economic questions they would attend church regularly and glad!y contribute to the sup- portof such ministers to the best of their ability. And Ihave only to add, those are my sentiments. ROBERT CUMMING. 228 West Monroe street, Chicago. To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch: The questions asked by Rev. E. E. Willey in his letter published in your columns Aug. 7, are very proper at this time of so much un- rest among the wage earners, ana have been asked by other ministers during the past two years. It must be that the workingman is losing interest in orthodox sermons. His whole time and energies are taken up in solv- ing the food and sheiter problem, and the question of salvation of his soul becomes necessarily an incidental one. True it is that labor organizations are increasing in mem- bership as are the mutual insurance societies, but in those cases there is some thing of an equivalent expected and re- turned. Then there are many hundreds who seemingly can Illy afford it join bodies of Freemasons, Knights of Pythiasand Odd Fellows, from which it appears that they can get more for their in- vestments elsewhere than in the church. There is little doubt that if the ministers would construe the teachings of Christ more as if the teachinus were applicable to affairs of this life and this world the masses wouid have more regard for them, as the ordinary laborer cares lots more forthe improvement of his material condition than he does about the heavenly state... In other words, let the minister discuss social and economic ques- tions in the pulpit, and like fair minded men, be not afraid to state the process of reason- ing and tacts upon which their conclusions are based. Tellthe working man the right and wrong of the measures now before the people for settlement at the ballot box. Ap- ply the golden rule to the question of free trade and protection, show whether God was a sluggard or niggard in giving the people—his children—a world in which the question of bread and butter was all-important, or if social affairs are not tied up ina knot as a result of man’s mismanage- ment, and the Creatoris not responsible for the present conditions. . Tell the brain and sinew of the .worlid—the laborer—how to untie the knot, and give them less about the ‘*inscrutable ways of Providence,’’ and the pews will filiup, for somehow the thinking man outside of the church has got an idea that God willhetp him who helps himself, and that some changes in social matters, such, for instance, as in taxation, would make it easier to exist, and on these lines his efforts are consecrated. Analyze the land question and say whether, morally, private property inlandisany moreright than pri- vate property in the other elements would be if such were possible. These are the ques- tions in which the people are interestéd, and which they will make sacrifices to hear in- telligently and impartially discussed, and there are very few who will object to their int of the being discussed from the stand - IRWIN, **Golden Ruile,.’’ FRANK Ravenswood, Ill. To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch: He who seeketh knowledge Shall not seek in vain. He shali be filled to overflowing— He shail be **born again,’’ Perhaps this may be the Rev, Willey’s ex- perience before he ceases to hear from those he invites to write him on the subject of non- attendance at church of the laboring men, The Catholic Church reaches the poor peo- ple in great numbers, and in my opinion the secret of her success in this respect lies in the practice of holding services designed for those who are denominated working people at an hour apart from that held for those in easy circumstances. In other words, the low mass for those in seni § circumstances and the high mass at a later hourin the day for those who are at greater ease financially in this life’s struggle. These services are held in the sanie edifices and conducted by the same minister, but those who are low on the scale of social life can meet togetherand feel at ease without embarrassment because not hampered with the ceremonies and customs incident to church Hfe inthe higher grade. The poor will not attend church where the weaithy hoid forth; where Ostentation and fummery isthe rule and fraternal. fellowship the ex- ception. Itis this difference between Cath- olic and Protestant churches that the former owes her successin attracting the lowly to her doors. I believe that this church would be as unsuccessfulin reaching the masses as the other did she depend on the single- serv- ice method, wherein both rich and poor are expected to commingle. here is another stron int against the church that revents her reaching the masses, and thatis the very general belief among those who labor for wages the churches are mere Sunday club houses and their congregations mutual admiration 60- cieties, the main incentive for attendance thereat being an inordinate desire to see what Mrs. S50 and So might wear, and to dis- cuss the dest points of Mrs. So and 80's latest bonnet and its probable cost; the result of the last progressive euchre match, and kindred frivolties.

When Henry Clay died, forty years ago, after forty-six years of public life, the whole nation went into mourning. North ant South joined hands and hearts over the grave ofhim of whom ail sections were so justly . proud. The tears of politi¢al foes mingled with those of political friends for ‘The Mfil Boy of the Slashes,’’ ‘‘the gallant Hafry of the West,’’? who **had rather be right than be President’’—one of the illustrious few to whom it is given ; The appleuse of jistening Senates to command, The threats of pain and ruin to despise, To scatter plenty o’er a smiling land, And fead their history in a nation’s eyes. Never in this country, nor I think in any other, was a political chief- tain and leader loved by his foillow- ers as was Henry Olay. They loved the Man more even than the statesman, for his personal magnetism was something mar- velous, and nongé who camé within fts range could resist the fascination. Horace Greeley was not the only one who wept when Clay was defeated for the presidency in 164. I saw tears filling the eyes and running down the cheeks of men madeof much sterner stuff than was Greeley. And yet when I hang the portrait on the wall of my den, Visitors—if they notice it at meth vine say: ‘*‘Why, who ts that old fel- ow?’ Comparing notes and _ recollections the other day with one of the oldest and best of dramatic critics, we agreed that—taken for all in all—John E. Owens was the finest” comedian that ever trod the American stage. He was equally at home, and equally good in lowest and in highest comedy; in ‘‘Solon Shingle’’ andin ‘‘Sir Anthony Absolute,’’ or **Dr. Pangioss.’’ If his fun was irresistible, sowas his pathos; and he could pass inan instant from one to the other—as in *‘Our Boys.’’ His Caled Piummer, in ‘‘Cricket on the Hearth,’’ was far and away the most exquisite specimen of whatis called ‘*char- acter acting,’’ .I have ever seen, or ever expect to see, It was simply and absolutely perfect, in conception and in the working out; not overdone in the least, but as natural as Nature herself. When Ithink that this masterpiece of histrionic art, this perfection of the pathetic draima, was actually played to hal! a house full of people in De Bar’s old theater on Pine street, it makes me sick. Owens never did drawa crowded house in St. Louls thatI ember ; and I have seen since his day hou packed for such miserable sticks! ‘‘Alas, poor Yorick! He was a fellow of infinite jest;’’ and it will be long before we **look upon his like again.’’ | lsaw Jefferson try Caleb Plummer once, but it wasa flat failure as compared with that of Owens. He made a low comedy part of it. Everybody laughed and nobody cried.) The fact is, that while I have seen Jefferson inanumber of different characters, he was) always—with one exception—Kip Van Win- Kle. The exception is Golightly, in the little farce, ‘‘Lend Me Five Shillings.’’ There Was) no sign of Ripthere; but airy, graceful and) delightfully artistic work throughout. His Bob Acres isa caricature of Sheridan’s per- vonage; about three parts Jefferson to one of Sheridan. | As between Henry Irving and Ellen Terry, the latter, in my estimation, is decidedly the greater artist. Irving is always Irving. whether he is playing Shylock or Mephisto, _ or the ‘‘Corsican Brothers.’’ The same long-legged stride, like a pair of compasses onthe march; the same iugubrious counte- nance, like an undertaker at a funeral; the same deep, dismal voice, as if it came from ‘*tunder the ribs of Death.’’ I never saw an actor who so persistently acted himself, as doés Irving, Terry, on the contrary, is just the reverse. She has few or no mannerisms, and each of her characters is a distinct and defi- nite creation, with little or nothing of the actress’ self. And she can play ‘‘Nance Oldfiela’’ as well as she can ‘‘Portia’’—which is saying a great deal—andshe can play all the intermediates in her liné quite as well as either. Oncea year is often enough for me to see Irving, but Ishould ilke to see Terry cnce a week. My friend and I agreed that Edwin Booth’s ‘*‘Hamlet’’ of twenty-five years ago was the dramatic high-water mark of our day and gen- eration, and we are both very much in- ciined to believe that the wearer of tiie ‘‘inky cloak’’ never has had, and never will have, a better representative than that prince of players who will play 20 more, | Here is one of those quaint old classics that never go out of fashion.

CONGRESSMAN JOHN, J. O'NEILL IN- DORSES THE IDEA AND THE WORK. He Says Let Democrats of Modest Means Subscribe $1 and the Fund Willi Then Represent Something More Than Na- tional Aid—A List of the Papers Now in the Work. The recognition by the National Demo- cratic Committee of the wisdom of bringing Onusual energies to the conflict in the doubt- ful Western States and the establishment of a Western Democratic headquarters at Chi- cago have made plain to the Democrats of Missouri, Illinois and Arkansas that their aid in ratsing the Western Democratic campaign fund isthe duty which the national party Girentory expects them to do. Every Democrat now has the opportunity to help his party win the November battle. Even those ardent Democrats who have-no voice at the polls can do their share in Spreading the doctrine of Democracy and tariff reform. The plan is heartily indorsed by Mr. W. 0. Whitney, Chairman Harrity, Wm, James Smith, the Democratic leaderin New Jersey, and many prominent Deniocrats In the East, by National Commiteeeman J. Griff Prather of Missouri and Congressmen Cobb and O’ Neill of St. Louis. Mr. L. W. Post, the well-known culvert pipe manufacturer, whose office isin the Equitable Bullding, Sixth and Locust streets, is one of the first citizens to come forward with a vote of confidence in the wisdom of the move- ment. The Post-DisrpaTcH yesterday re- ceived Mr. Post’s check for $10, with the fol- lowing note: To the Post-Dispatch: The WORLD'S idea is a happy thought, Find my eheck inclosed for $10 for account the Western Campaign Fund Yours, etc., L.

O Neill set the pace for Democrats of modest means, sending in $1, with the following indorsement of the fund: To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch: The campaign of education outlined by the New York WORLD and the St. Louis POsT-DISPATCH shoula receive cordial support from the masses.

A LIST OF DEMOCRATIC PAPERS NOW ENGAGED IN RAISING A WESTERN CAMPAIGN FUND. New Yorn, Aug. ®. —Speaking of the newspaper alliance for Western campaign work the WorRLD will say to-morrow: ‘Here is the list of those newspapers whose editors, either by letter or by telegraph, or by both, have communicaied their willingness to open their coiumns and receive subscriptions: Post-DisPaTcH, St. Louls. World-Herald, Omaha, Ned. Record, Philadelphia. Giobe, Boston. Post, Pittsburg. Gazette, Geneva, N. Y. Orleans Republican, Albion, N. ¥Y. Democrat, Ithaca, N. Y. Courier, Syracuse, N, Y. Press, New Rochelle. N. Y. Union, Lockport, N. Y. y Democrat, Corning, N. Y. Franklin Gazette, Malone, N. Y. Standard, Gloversville, N. Y. Republican, Schoharie, N. Y. Journal, Newark, N. J. Middlesex County Democrat, N. J. Columbian, Bloomsburg, Pa. Enterprise, Keyport, N. J. Heraid, Passaic, N. J. Evening News, Syracuse, N. Y. The money is not for the benefit in any way ofany newspaper associated with the Western Democratic campaign fund. Each newspaper is simply acting as theagent and the trustee ofthese Democrats who wish to do something more for their party than merely vote for it&8 candidates. By far the largest number of men in the Democratic party are not rich, but if each will give according to his means there can be raised unquestionably a fund which, epentin legitimate channels, will educate the doubtful voters of doubtful Western States and offset the corruption fund accum- ulated secretly by the Quays, the Carters and Wanamakers and the Dudleys of the Republican foe, The import- ance, therefore, of every Democratic hewspaper’s hearty co-operation in the Western Democratic Campaign Fund is ap- parent. Thereis probably no town In the United States where a Democratic newspaper is published where it wili not be possible to raise some money. Heretofore no effort has been madeto get at those Democrats who would be’ willing to give small sums into the treasury ofthe party. The object which the WORLD and its allies have in view is to getatthese people and furnish thema conduit through which their dimes and the dollars may be poured, Even a few dollars from each town’ will make an imposing ag- gregate. Quite a number of papersin New York State are Already among the WorLD’s allies. It will not be too much to have one in every county, There is plenty of work for each and the triumph attained by all will be the triumph of each participant. The prose- cution of an aggressive Western cam- paign does not imply an abandon- ment of New York. On the contrary it will stimulate the Democracy of the State to renewed effort by inspiring all with the certainty of success. Andno Democrat who subscribes to the Western fund will do one whit less forthe party at home. Again, the uncertainty which seems to center about one é6r two of the Southern States wakes Demo- cratic effort in the Westa necessity. Victory now means a continued victory hereafter. Under the caption ‘*‘At Work’’ the WoRLD to-morrow will say editorially: One week ago to-day the WoRLD announced that it would receive subscriptions to a Western Democfatic campaign fund. On he follow- tributions aggregating $12,- @: The total amount received in to-Gay's WorLpD Perth Amboy, doubled durirg the present week and trebled before Sept. 1. The work has only begun. The plan wasnovel. Time was required to acquaint the public with the purpose and details of the Movement. We believe that now the proposition in general and in part is well understood. {t is no more noriless than a determination to make a resolute effort to win those Western States, which, although Republican in previous presidential years, are now to the Democracy hot only debatable but hopeful. We cannot make a clearer state- ment of the facts upon which this movement is based or of the objects which its success may achieve than that which appeared in this column last Sunday. The original an- nouncement therefore is reprinted to-day in another column of this page. It well de- serves a second reading. Meanwhile it is interesting to note the progress of the work, during the last six days over 2,600 indtvidual contributions have been received. ranging in amount from $10,000 to 10 cents. Each day bas shown an increase in the number of sub- Scribe’s. Despite the fact that yesterday was a half holiday nearly 600 were received, chief- lyin small sums. Most significant of all were the contributions ofa score of earnest men way out in Ohio and of ‘‘thirty tariff-reform workingmen.’’ Two, whose means permitted, gave $100 each. Two oth- ers gave $50. The remainder of the total was made up of dollars and dimes. This is right. To have its greatest effect the fund must be both national and popular. The great num- ber of contributors proves that it bas become popular already, and éach day adds breadth toits interest. No less encouraging is the hearty response accorded by the Democratic newspapers invited to join the movement. Before next Sunday shall have come more than fifty, ard probably a hundred of the most energetic and influential Democratic papers inthis country will have enlisted in the cause. W hat does all this mean? It means thse openingof the greatest and most potent campaign of education ever known. It means ultimately the emancipa- tion from plutocratic misrule of no. only the debt byrdened West, but the entire people. Is the cause worthy? Will you help? Ofthe day’s subscriptions the WorLpD will say to-morrow: ‘*The number of new sub- scribers yesterday to the Western Democratic campaign fund fell off slightly, which was to be expected on account of the half boliday. The amount contributed, however, was greater thanthe day before. Many of the farmers of MIilinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Kansas and Nebraska are wandering in the wilderness of protection for want of a Moses to lead them to a better land. Suffering from causes of which they are ignorant they continue to encourage them with a patience anil long suffering worthy ofyour pity. Taxed right and left for nearly everything they use and wear they .worry out an ex- istence little less than hopeless. Yet these same farmers for years have been supporting a party whose aim it Is to enrich the few at the expense of the masses. They iittle knew that in casting their votes for the Republican nominees they were helping to increase their own burgens. Here then is a field for you to work that promises them the richest harvest. Lay clear before the farmer the true state of affairs and he will become a Democrat. Show to him the one sided workings of the McKinley bill; he is individually imposed on by its provisions and you prove to him how his pocket is touched, When he is brought to realize that heis paying out lavishly to supporta party that only imposes upon him additional dDurdens you will not only secure a vote from Harrison to Cleveland but you will also secure the influence of aman who is certainto make himself felt among his fellow farmers. The campaign in the West must be an educational one. Voters must be taught the crying necessity of tariff reform. The benefits of a Democratic Gov- ernment must be brought home tothem In no uncertain way, the blessings ofan adminis- tration under Cleveland must be revealed with telling emphasis. But all this requires money and your help is needed. ‘*Will you help? then enroll your name at once on the list of those who have shown a disposition to help fight the enemy on its home ground. Toexpiain the principles of true Democracy and to expose the enormi- ties of the present high tariff laws scores of well-informed speakers and tons of cam- paign literature will be needed. All this will cost money, but the expenditure will be a good investment, for the chances of winning some if not allof the States men- tioned, is excellent. Already several leading Republican papers of the West are reimina- ing the leaders of the party thatin none of the States may a walk-over be expected, The Republicans are onthe run. Help then to make the rout complete. It can be done and you can help inthe doing. Ifyou have not already subscribed do not let another day in- tervene before sending in your contribu- tion.’’ THE FIGHT FOR THE WEST. a Why the Democratic Party Expects to Gain R-publican Votes. That the campaign in the West for the Democratic ticket offers great chances of success is doubted only by those who con- sider ancient traditions as superior to present developments. The reasons that incline the Democrats to believe that the future of the party lies in the West are as follows: ILLINOIS, Illinois was a Democratic State from the time of its admission tothe Unton, in 1818, until 1860. Even when William Henry Harrison was elected in 1840 it remained true to the Democracy. It was not until Lincoln became acandidate that the State left the Demo. cratic ranks, and then solely on the war and siavery questions. In 1872, the year of the Greeley flasco, the State gave its heaviest Republican majority of 56, 884. Since that time the Republicans have car. ried the State in presidential years as fol- lows: 1876—Plurali 1880—Plurality 1884—Plurali Majority...... 1888—Plurali Minority...... SJhus at the latest presidentiai election although the Republicans won the electoral yote, their long-sustained majority was changed to a minority of 6,590. In 1800 economic questions, well under- stood, were dominant for the first time tn thirty years, and the State went Democratic for the first time in that perio. The issue of 1890 is the Issue of 1892. It is better understood now than it wasthen. The campaign of education has gone on steadily, Ibe convictions which made Illinois Dem- ocratic two years ago have been broadened and sirengthened. One Illinois Democrat is a Senator of the United States. Another is the party’s candidate for Vice-President, The State has twenty-four electoral votes, WISCONSIN. Wisconsin’s constitution was adopted in 1848. Although slavery was becoming the theme of excited political discussion in and out of Congress, the tariff had been up to that time the most prominent issue of the day.

The result was that the office of Governor was given to the Republicans on a contest. The party affiliations of the Northwest were about to é. revolutionized. ‘ihe majority for Fremont in Wisconsin was 12,668 and for Lincoln 21,000. In Democrats of the state were ful. They made the campaign on tariff issue, appealing especially to the $wed- ishand German farmers, and while Blaine carried the state the Republican plurality was reduced from 29,763 to 14.698. In 1888 the Democrats again lost the State, although their vote had increased in sixteen years from 86,477 to 155,232. In 1890 they carrried the State for Governor by a plurality of 26,230. Inthe same year in the Congres- sional districts, where the campaign was fought strictly on the tariff issue, the Demo- cratic plurality was nearly thirty-four thousand, and Ofthe nine members chosen all but one were Democrats, while a Demo- cratic majority of thirty-five on joint baliot in the Legisiature elected William F. Vilas as the first Democratic United States Senator from the State since the ante-bellam period. IOWA, Iowa became a State tn 1846. In the presidential elections of 1848 and 1852 the two great parties of that time almost ex- actly divided the yote, the Democrats win- ning by the narrow pluralities of 1,009 and 303. On the question of slavery the people of lowa were Republican, and in 1866 Fremont carried the State, as each succeeding Re- publican presidential candidate has done, But defection began to appear soon after the enormous Kepupiican plurality of 78,059 was given in 1880. In 1884 a fusion with the Greehbackers enabled the Democrats to cut down the Republican plurality to 19,773. In 1888, without tusion, the plurality was kept down to about two fifths what it had been in 1880. In 1888 the tariff issue was for the first time presented, Its effect.was to reduce the Republican majority to less than 20,000. In the next year the Democrats carried the State for Governor by a plurality of 6,523. in 1891 the Demotrats won again, electing Gov. boles by a tw of7,816. The Dem- ocrats lacked but 2,533 of a clear majority an’ the Republicans were tn a minority of more than 10,000 on the total vote. Of the eleven Congressmen chosen in 1890 the Democrats elected six by pluralities aggregating 14,125 and the Kepublicans five by pluralities aggregating only 4,586. In 1892 the Republican Convention was asked to adopt its customary declaration in favor of the prohibitory law and refused. The indications are strong that a very con- siderable vote which the Kepublicans have hitherto held will be cast for Gen. Bidwell. The more cautious Democratic leaders favor fusion if the Alliance Convention now in session offers fair terms, in order to make the loss of the State tothe Republicans cer- tain. Bolder ones are firmly convinced that the State can be carried fora strictly Demo- cratic electoral ticket. These oppose the surrender of aay part ofa result which they deem secure, MICHIGAN, In the year 1837 Michigan Union. Van Buren was nominated on May 20, 1835, and Michigan cast its first electoral vote for the Democratic successor of Andrew Jack- son. Onthe populaa vote Van Buren re- ceived 7,332 and Harrison 4,042. Inthe ‘‘log cabin and hard-cider’’ cam- paign of 1840, Michigan revérsed its ma ority, giving to Harrison 22,933 votes and to fan Buren 21,181. Its United States Sena- tors Inthe Twenty-eight and Twenty-ninth Congresses were Whigs, butthe majority of its delegation in the House were Lemocrats, In 1544 the State returned tothe Democratic fold and gave to Polka majority of 8,466, and in the following year Lewis Cass entered the Senate, During the war Michigan was Repub!ican, but soon after its allegiance bexan to weaken. In the election of i874 Gov. Bagiey’s majori- ty, which had been 53,000 in 1872, was reduced to 5,969, end the Democrats elected four of the nine Representatives in Congress, Afterwards, owinx to dissensions in the Re- publican ranks on this question, the Green- back party grew in numbers, and in 1878 cast 73,813 votes. V hile it existed the fusionists ‘ succeeded in 1882 in electing a Governor, in 1983 a Supreme Court Judge, and in 1884 six of the eleven members of Congress. In the Billion-Dollar Congress Michigan had two Democrats and nine Republicans; in entered the | the present Cengress Seven Democrats and four Republicans. The agregate of the ma- jorties of the Democratic Congressmen was nearly 10,000, and there was elected a Demo- cratic majority in both houses of the Legis- lature. The Legislature enacted a law by which the Presidental electors must this year and hereafter be chosen by districts. Michigan is now entitled totwelve Representatives in Congress and fourteen votes in the kiectoral College. Twelve of these are to be elected in the Congressional districts and the other two in two large districts made by a line runnin turough the State north and south, It i expected that the Democrats will carry six os the districts; they ought certainly to carry our. NEDRASKA. Nebraska was admitted to the Union in 1867. Nebraska’s Constitution was adopted bya majority of only 100, the people dividing on party lines. in 1866 the Republican candidate for Goy- ernor received a majority of 145, Dutin 1868 Grant carried the State by a magority of 4,290 in a total of 15,168, and in 1872) his majority was 10,517. The Republican party retained _ onthe State down to and including 1889. In 1890 the Democrats held substantially their own vote, Gov. Boyd receiving 71,4831, but the Kkepublican strength fell to 68,878 and the t! armers’ Aillance cast 70,187 votes. The Republican party was third in the poll and in aminority of 145,212. In the Congressional districts one Democrat and two Farmers’ Alliance candidates were chosen. For the first time since itS organizatiom as a State Nebraska was not only without a solid Ke- publican delegation in Congress, but without a single Republican member in the House of Representatives. there seems to be hardly a doubt that the Republican electoral ticket can be de/eated in Nebraska by a union of ali the oppvusition forces. As the Democrats havethe larger part of the fusion vote it is natural that they should expect a union on. their electoral ticket, but the first duty of the two parties, each of which cast a larger vote than the Re- publican party tn 1890, is to unite.

LOUIS MINISTER GATHERS TRE VIEWS OF WORKINGMEN. alot folloving arene is from the pen oes Lime -.* Willey, pastor of the © ona Church of the Redeemer, this city.) di esi A few days ago I asked through the columns of the Post-DisPaATCH questions intended to draw from the lqborers their opinions of the church and ministry of to-day, and their ability and disposition to deal impartially with the economic questions of the age; also whether or not the laboring classes were los- ing faith in and drawing away ‘from the churches, and if so. their reasons for such | course, In reply I have received a multitude , of answers. Many of them were evidently insincere and not intended to be taken se- riously. Others were mere excuses for ac- tions which the writers’ consciences did not approve. The one which I have selected for publication covers the fleld of the entire cor- Pe respondence thus far. Rev. Elmer E. Wiliey: I am impelled by the evident sincerity of your ut terances, as they appearin last Sunday’s Post-U1s- PATCH, to attempt a reply to the questions asked. You ¢omplain of the non-attendance of working- meén when you treat social subjects from your pul- pit. One reason which suggests itself in explana- tion of such non-attendance is the fact that it is not the pulpit alone, the man who occupies it, or the character of his discourses that is effective in drawing people to the assemblages of Christians, Another factor that is of no email importance is the attitude of the Christians themselves. Jt is of no use for a minister of vroad views aud brilliant parts to announce his intention of delivering a sermon or series of sermons ona subject of special interést to workiagmen, and invite them to come and hear. They will not come where they have every reason to believe they are not wanted by the majority of those among whom they are invited tosit. It may bethatawarm wel- come would be extended by your people to laboring men, but such a thing is so unusual in our city churches that you can scarcely blame them for re- luctance in taking it for granted that such is the case. Were they to come they would not expect, in view | . past experiéncé, an impartial handling of the sub- ect. of the gospel has no practical knowledge of the sub- ject. Thee :ucation and training of ministers is not ofa character to beget confidence in their ability to handle authoritatively labor questions. Careful in- culcation of the details of Old Testament geography iInay serve some useful purpose, but it certainly don’t fit the prospective minister to cope with nine- teenth century conditions and correct existing abuses. A theological education may enable you to Ininister acceptably to a congregation of the better( ?) Class, but itdoes not fit you to probe social abuses and to do your duty as a Christian citizen. Wage-earners do believe that the churches of to- day are run in the interests of capital and capital- ists. I do not knowthat the belief obtains that the churches are subsidized and made to be pro- | ductive of material gain to capitalists, although, be- yond a donbt, the only reason why thousands join the church is to derive benefitin a indirect way, | commercially or socially, Butit is believed, and this, I: take it, is what your question was intended to bring out, that church is in the clutehes of the money power, that its policy is shaped accordingly, and thatit is prostituted to utterly unworthy and selfish ends; | that the teachings of the Bible are subordinated to personal convenience. The reasons for such belief are 60 numerous that it is astounding that sucha question should emanate from any source. It isa fact that the cnurch as a body is on the side of capt- talrathertianon the side of labor. The church cannot even yemain passive when matters of such tremendous import are in controversy, but it goes furtherthan this, and denounces the efforts of workingmen to obtain common justice. Working- men are accustomed to persistent and unrelenting misrepresentation and abuse from religious sources, through the medium of the religious press and other- wise. They regard the church organization as a part of the capitalistic machinery which inflicts in- justice and suffering upon them. They are per- suaded thatthe money power, sordid, selfish and grinding, is deserving of censure and denunciation. They think with some reason that there is nota pulpit in St. Louis that dares to so denounce and censure; in other words, speak the plain truth in re- gard to the inter-reiations of capital and labor. If the church is free from the dictation of wealth, why does it not only extend the right hand of fellowship to men whose practices are notoriously corrupt, but place its policy and manage- agement intothe hands of such men. Canany one coneeive of Christ groveling at the feet of the money power and shaping his instructions to conform to the pleasure and convenience of the robbers of the poor? Why do ministers of the gospel try to put an unwar- ranted and.entirely senseless construction apon that portion of the Scripture which recites the difficulties | of a rich man entéring the Kingdom of Heaven? Why do they not denourcethe possession of riches, which is so plainly and unequivucaily pronounced a sin in Holy Writ? I believe that non-attendance of workingmen at religious services is ontheincrease. The reasons aré legion. The condition referred tein your first question is one of them. The principal causeisa failure to discriminate between churchianity and Christianity. The faults and shoricomings of the former are attributed to essential flaws in the latter. All thinking workingmen reverence Christ and his teachings, but despise thethurch and its teachings. Present-day magnificence and extravagance on the part of the churches is hard to reconcile with the mode of living and teachings of the lowly Nazarene. Denominational divisions area stumbling-block to many. The workingman’s ideal of a church is one where the grand essentials of Christianity are taught in their simplicity. The fact of an employer attending and helping to support a church need not influence his employes to remain away and would not unless strong per- sonal feeling existed. Itis not the attendance of this or that individual that actsas a bar to the attendance of the laborer, but the personnel ofthe entire congregation and the sentiments they rep- resent. Regarding the church asthe rich man’s club the poor man naturally does not presume that he is «a welcome guest, He is out place and would feel as at ease in his employér’s drawing-room, Odious social distinctions carried into the sanctuary, or at | best laid aside at the door to be donned again as soon as the sacred portals are recrossed, tends to lessen a plain man’s appreciation of the sentiment that all men are equal in the sight of God, The foregoing has been written in the face of many interruptions and I fear will be found disconnected and fragmentary. With more time atmy disposal I might strengthen my premises and otherwise give wore satisfactory answers to your questions, I, too, am a searcher after the hidden causes of present social conditions and their remedy, and should you consider my propositions unsupported by facts, I am open to correction and conviction... Very respectfully yours, A CHRISTIAN WORKINGMAN. THE MINISTER’S REPLY. Many of the above charges are just, but in others Ithink the writer is not quite fair. For instance, he charges the ministry with incompetency contuty industrial problems, In this case the indictment comes from the side of labor, but I am sure I have heard the san.e charge made by representatives of the employing class. he grounds for the chargeare inex- perience and general lack of practicability in modes of thought.

The record of the past presents the church and the ministry on the side of the oppressed. Look with me, if ou please, ata few facts. When Christian- ty took its first survey of Rome, it found half the population of that imperial empire in slavery. The first converts and early organizers ofthe church Were largely of the enslaved class, and the first energies of the church were employed in battling this world-wide evil. The first command in the empire against neral servitude comes from the Christian, ‘fheodore of Stude: ‘‘Thou shalt possess no slave, for man is made In the image of God.’’ |Clergymen were called the brothers ofthe | | Slave, and to Christianity belongs the credit of the final overthrow of the system, Inthe middie ages thirty-seven church councils | ejgim to be better, Cy LIQUID BREAD. When we first conceived the idea to manufacture this nutritive tonic we were uncefttain as to success, but know- ifig there was abundant room and place for it, if a really fine article could be produced, the experiment was made.

New YorK, Aug. 20,—Since the success of the Keeley cure for drankenness—a success doubted in some quarters asto the genuine- ness of its cures, but a great success at least for its promoters—a host of imitators have sprung up.

It was @ merry crowd that boarded the Gem City last Saturday to take part in the excursion to Quincy, and never before were any wheelmen more royally received and entertained, The South Side Cycle Club car- ried off the honors for the largest attend- ance, and their representative, G. L. Greper, also scooped most of the prizes offered for the races. The boat landed at 10:15 o’clock, and at the wharf some sixty of Quincy’s wheelmen received the visitors and escorted them to . the _ 4 | Hotel Newcom : } Park. where b and thence to Highland bountifal relreshments were served. A complimentary dimner was then re to the entire party by the Quincy on Ramblers Bicycle Clubs. ‘This was ollowed by the races at Baldwin Park.

The local attendance at the Chillicothe races On Aug. 18 was very slim, Laing, Tidd and Davies being the only Sst. Louls men resent. The races were run on the Fair Grounds half-mile track, which was in a horrible condition, and this made fast time an impossibility. R. M. Tidd, the Pastime flyer, Was in good form and Won most of the prizes, as the foilowing summary will show: One mile, novice—Fred Campbell, Kansas City, first; Geo. Seay, Chillicothe, second.

The parade was attended by sixty-five wheelmen. The prizes were distributed at a banquet held on the night of the races and was an enjoyable affair. COMING EVENTS. St. Louis racing men are in big demand, and the clubs’ bulletins are filled with an- nvuuncements of races to be held in the near future. Onthenight of Aug. 25a number of racing men will goto Chicago to participate inthe events at Parkside. Another delega- tion will go to Cleveland to attend the races there, for which very attractive prizes are offered. ‘This will be followed by the tourna- ment at Waverly, Ill., Aug, 24.

S5andé6and l0andll, Sept. 25 and 26 will see another tournament at Chicago. Peoria will hold a one day’s meet on sept. 27,and Evans- ville, Quincy and Jacksonville all have race meets billed tor October. Ft. Scott, Kan., now boasts of a quarter- mile track which is reputed to equalany in America It is 20 feet wide on the back stretch and 380 elsewhere, with easy curves banked six feet high. The top dressing isa mixture of cinders, finely sifted, and cement in about equal parts. The track will be formally opened on Oct. 6, whenthe Solid City Wheelmen will hold a one-day race ) meet, for which costly prizes are offered. Henry E. Harris, Secretary of the club, writes that nearly all the best men in Kansas and Missouri! have promised to be present and strenuous efforts are being made to in- duce Zimmerman, who will rave at Jackson- ville, lil., on Oct. 3 and 4, to extend his trip further west. * CYCLING CHAT. Earl Sykes of Chicago is the guest of the Cycling Club. R. C. Wayne of Edwardsville spent Tuesday in the city. , Will Laing, Bert Harding and .C. L. Ellers are entered forthe ten-mile handicap road race at Olney, ll. . the projected road race to be held at Forest Park during September has beep abandoned on account of too many track events. Carondelet now boasts thirty riders where but a yearagothere was butone. The ma- jority of the wheelmen are members of the South Side Club. Messrs.

A wheelman’s club house is one of the nov- elties taiked of in connection with the Inter- national Cycling Tournament to be held at Chicago next year. The projectors have sent out a circular letter to all the chief consuls of the United States and the consensus of opinion is very favorable towards the scheme. ¥ The members of the South Side Cycle Club think that they have in C. J. reper a phenomenal rider. He made an excellent showing at Quincy and although he has not yet reached twenty years, his muscular de- velopment is equal to that of much older riders. He is the possessor of a fine spurtand has staying powers. It is sometimes amusing to see people try to dodge a bicycle on the crossings and else- where. They will jump to one side, then the other, and then back again, finally ending by bringing both the cyclist-and themselves to grief. Gostraight alead, turning neither to the right nor left, ana the wheelman will take care of himself and look out for you, too. if everyone would heed this injunction they never would get run into. ‘ Chairman Gilbert of the L.

It s even more exasperating than its twin an- noyance, the car-window that won't go up, for the latter can give you but one unpleasant moment—when it springs its little game, while the former keeps rubbing it in, as it were, as it again and again sneaks down Its grooves and shuts out tue refreshing breeze.

Struck VERY YELLOW BALL ———— Baltimore’s Poor Fielding Gives the Browns a Game. en . GLEASON REAPPEARS AND PROVES A MASCOT TO THE HOME TEAM, Von der Ahe’s New Men Make a Poor Impression—Comiskey’s Men Down the Phillies—Cleveland and New York Break Even—The Colonels Defeat the Senators—Base Ball News. Mr. William Gleason, otherwise ‘‘the kid,’’ made his reappearance with the Browns yesterday afternoon in the roleof prodigal son. Not that he had _- gotten down to the line - moral and physica of the young man in the parable, but he had wandered away from the parental roof tree, so to speak, and was literally wasting his substance by not earning any salary when he might have done so. But he came back and was forgiven. The scene of reconciliation between him and Von der Ahe is shrouded in mystery too sacred for the public gaze. Gleason was the feature of the game yes- terday. He might be styled the redeeming feature, inasmuch as the Browns won. In other words, he was a mascot. His pitching did not add anything’ to the victory for his daring aims and Delsartean attitudes had no mesmeric influence over the Baltimores. They liton to him for fourteen hits, but the young twiriler, not in the least bit abashed’ by his long absence, got in the game early. His mouth began working in the first inning and kept going to the annoyance of Barnie until the ninth. His presence seemed to per- meate the players with enthusiasm and they showed niore snap and vigor than has been apparent among them for a fortnight past. Kuehne, ‘Wolfe and Moriairty,the new trio, made their appearance. They were not features, only incidents. ‘They did nothing to arouse sanguine expectations as to their future usefulness. Moriarity was nervous at the bat and made an excusable error, whiie Kuehne showed a disposition to fall in a trance while on base. Caruthers made his debut as Captain and did well, but his voice is not yet in line. | If any one should ask you why the Browns won, it was because the Baltimores played yellow ball. O’Rourke was-at short fleld for the visitors, and the quality of ball he put up turned the grass in his territory sere. igs The game lacked excitement and was feat- ureless except for the amusement caused by the ridiculous errors of the visitors. Neither side scored in the firstinning, but the Browns made ataliyinthe second. Werden knocked @ grounder tothird that Shind'e threw wide offirst. Perry Kept on running and took third on Stricker’s muff of the returned ball. He scored on Brodie’s hit overthird. O’Rourke madea single for his side, but was forced out. Crooks got four balls on the second and was advanced, when Vickery planted the ball in Morarity’s ribs. Glasscock and Werden fol lowed with singles and two runs came in. Shindle and Van Haltrem led off with safe hits for Baitimore. Sutcliffe’s grounder to third forced Shindle out, but Van Haitren scored on Stovey’s corking liner to center. In the fourth, after Kuehne had gone out by way of the pitcher, Gleason got three slumbering sweetly and let it goby. Crooks saw a great wide Open place between left and centerand put the ball there for three bags. Morilarity followed with a grounder to O’ Rourke, who threw home wild in attempt- ing to heid off Crooks, Error number three for O’Rourke, and the crowd yelled at him to go out and associate with Gore. Stricker and Robinson started off the other half with singles. Vickery prod- ded the ball towards short. Gleason, Glass- cock and Kuehne ran forit. Gleason got it, made a feint at third to head off the runner, but no one was at the bag. Then he looked to second and Crooks was missing. In dis- gust he fired the ball at first and to every one’s surp: ise Barnie called the run- nerout. Stricker scored on Shindle’s sacri- fice. Van Haltren put a grounder to Glea- son, which the twirler threw wide of first, allowing Robinson to score and yviving Van Haltren third. He came in on Sutcliffe’s safe rap to right. Gleason then struck Stovey out. ihe Browns came near scoring in the sixth, but a decision of Barnie’s cost them a run. Buckley hit safe past third, but died on Crooks’ sacrifice. Then Mortarity popped up a high fly between home and third, and shin- die, standing clearly within the foul lines, made an attempt to catch it but muffed. It was plainly a fair ball, but Barnie thought otherwise. Morarity then struck out. Crooks stole second and went to third on a wild pitch, but died on Glasscock’s out from third tofirst. Baltimore came near a. tally in the seventh after Barnie had given them some assistance, Ward opened with a safe hit past Kuehne, took. second on O’Rourke’s sacri- fice and attempted to steal third. Kuehne —_ the ball on him 2 feet off the plate, ut the umpire did -not see it that way. Stricker batted to Crooks, who shot the ball first Werden to getting itto Buckley in time to cut off Ward at the plate. In the ninth day dreams bagger. inning Van Haltren’s } gave Glasscock a_e two- Werden made a towards the pitcher three bases on Vickery’s wild throw Over first, singles by Kuehne and Gleason followed, but Buckley’s grounder to second retired the side. The Baltimores retired in one, two, three order in their half. Mr. Barne’s exhibition of umpiring was the poor- est he has yet put up, be attendance was 2,500. The score: ST. LOUIS.

Geo. Smith’s shortstop play was the feature of the game and was nothing short of marvelous. In the ninth inning be got an opportunity to close the already brilliant game with the finest play ever made in Cincinnati. There were two out when Delhanty hit a liner and it looked as if it woula carry to the fence, but Smith jumped high in the air and puiled it down.

King was hit a trifle harder in the second game, but Denny Lyons lost it by an excusable fumble ofa hot ground hit with the bases filled and two Cleveland men out.

Hall’s Height and Long Reach Won Him the Fight—Mitchell Seconded the Vio- ter—New Rules for Scoring Amateur Athletic Union Championships—Gene ral Sporting News. Lowpor, Aug. 2.—Jim Hall and Ted Pritchard fought at Brighton to-day, and the former won at the end of the fourth round, after having things his own way from the start. The news that they had met to-day was a surprise to the public. It was not expected that the men would meet until Monday.” It ap- pears that the statement about. the probability of police interference was ap- prehended and so closely was the secret kept that only a few sports besides the backers and seconds were present. The fight was for £2,090. The betting broke offered £1,000 and & private purse of £1,000 being offered by the Stock Exchange. Among the sports present were ‘*‘Parson’’ Davies, Charlie Mitchell, Charley Rowley, Peter Jackson and a few Others. The betting was in favor of Hall. For some days reports have been current that Pritchard was not himself and that he Showed a lassitude which did not Promise. well for his success in the ring. Hall, on the other hand, has been in first rate form and was backed readily and heavily by those best acquainted with his condition. The two men looked well as they took their places in the ring, and Pritchard showed no Signs of the langour attributed to him. In the first round Pritchard showed in- feriority. Hali was by far the cleverer of the two. He parried Pritcharda’s blows with considerable adroitness and gave him sting- ersinreturn. ihis clever work, on the part of Hall, and the evident inability of Pritchard tocope with him soon convinced mést of the spectators that the fight would go against Pritchard, and after the first round large odds were Offered in favor of Hall. In the second round Pritchard seemed Bullen. Heattempted at first to force the fighting and crowded his opponent, but the latter met his advance with coolness, fought cleverly, and left him at the end of the second round a considerably used up man. In the third round Hail changed his tactics. He saw that Pritchard was getting used up and he forced the fighting this time, parrying Pritchara’s desperate blows and sending his own fist home at nearly every drive, The result of the fourth and last round was a foregone conclusion. Pritchard came for- ward manfully, bearing evidence of the longer reach and severer blows of his op- ponent. Hail, flushed by the prospect of vic- tory, seemed fresher thanatthe beginning. Hall knocked Pritchard about without mercy and finally knocked him out, ending the fight and winning the £2,000. Although Hail was the victor, it was admitted on all sides that Pritchard made a splendid defense. NOEL ANGRY. THE OLYMPIC CLUB PRESIDENT DENIES SOME STORIES-+CONDITION OF THE MEN, New ORLEANS, La., Aug. 2.—The officials of thé Olympic Club seem to treat the opposi- tion of the gambling element as a step by some of the enemies of the club to injure its standing here andelsewhere. President Noel was told of the statement wired North last nigitto the effect that the opposition to theclub would be so used as to prevent, if pos- sible, the successful bringing about of the three contests scheduled, The littie President waxed indignant. He denied having made any promises to members of the Legislature as ciaimed and said that none of the leading gamblers in the city entertained any such belief as was ex- pressed by the gentleman who spoke his mind so freely on the subject. ‘*You can say for the club,’’ remarked Mr. . **that the fights will take as scheduled. There may be sore-heads who wanted the dates changed for personal and private reasons, but these did not represent any element whatever. The gambling fraternity are heart and soul in favor. of fights, and are too well satisfied by the present ar- rangements to kick about two more days. The talk about McAuliff’s drinking and Corbett not being anxious to fight is down- right folly; neither sentiment has the least color of truth in it, and tue author of the re- portiseither an enemy of the club or doves not know what he is talking about. The Olympic Club has never asked the New Orieans public for anything, and it is mot just to ask that the date be changed when such a course would sub- ject visitors to great delay, ineonventence and expense while only the local people would be benelited. The dates will stand and fights will be brought off. The matter oO the ciu putting up the _ § forteit for McAuliffe is too nonsensical to require more than a dental,and anyone with an ounce of sense can see thatJt would be abso- lutely ruinous for a man of Corbett’s reputa- tion and one of S8kelly’s ambition to fluke at this stage of the proceedings.’’ The club officiais are pretty sore over the attempt to hurt them in the eyes of the coun- try, but are confident that they will receive the moral support of every admirer of the sport outside of the city, as their motive in bunching the fights can readily be appre- ciated by them. When the story of the lushing at Robinson Cottage became prevalent Carroll was tele- aphed and asked for a truthful account of fie matter. Ta-night the following reply _ Was received: All doing well. Skelly much better. Grinking not true. All working bard. This is an ex-parte statement, itis true, and like Messages were received from all of the men at the training quarters. ‘he Board of Directors held a special meeting lust night to arra matte pertaining to the oe The mMecting was a long one, P ta great deal of business was transacted by the members.

A ROPES END. - = Francisco Torres Pays the Penalty for * the Murder of McKelvey. _ THE DEATH OF MME, MODJESKA’S RANCH FOREMAN AVENGED. The Murderer Drarced From Jail Early This Morning and Hanged to a Tele- graph Pole—Green Farley Shot Through the Heart at Parkersburg, W. Va-— Uther Crimes. SANTA ANNA, Cal., Aug. 2).—Early this morning Francisco Torres, who buried a dag- ger in the heart of Supt. UcKelvey of Mme, Modjeska’s ranch, was dragzed from jail and hanged at the intersection of the most prom- inent streets ofthe city. The mob worked with great speed and determination. They surrounded the jail and when the jailor opened the door to come out and parley they overpowered him and captured the keys. Torres’ cell was pointed out by the other prisoners and it was quickly opened and the murderer dragged out. He screamed and sobbed, protesting his innocence and begging for mercy. He Kicked and fought desperately but was soon bound: A towel was tied over his mouth to stop his notse, and he was dragged out of his cell and car- ried to the corner of Sycamore and Fourth streets, Immediately across the street from the Brunswick Hotel stands a tall telegraph pole. A rope was thrown across the cross- arm, the loop was thrown over the mur- derer’s head and in another moment he was hanging with his toes about two feet above the ground. Then the lynchers dlis- persed, leaving the murderer hanging. When the body was cut down this morning it was seen that in the hurry and confusion the repe-was not placed around the murderer’s neck; but around his chin, which undoubtedly ereatly prolonged his agony. Some, how- ever, believe that he was strangled by the rope Defore he was hanged. There is great excitement over the affair and it is generally condemned. The crime committed by Torres was cold biooded. Mc- Kelvey was the business agentof the ranch belonging tothe actress, Modjeska. He had been served witha garnishee for their poll tax. This he paid and deducted from the wages of Torres, who was an employe ofthe ranch, This was the only provocation Torres had forthe murder. Torres objected tothe amount being deducted, and when McKelvey refused to yleld attacked him with a dagger. McKelvey tried to defend himself with the handie of a pick-ax, but was fatally stabbed. Torres fled to the mountains and for weeks eluded his pursuers, About a week ago he was cap- tured and broughttothiscity. At that time the feeling against him was intense. On his preliminary examination the defendant set up a plea of self-defense, and there was no direct testimony to prove his gullt. He was hejd for trial, however, onacharge of mur- der, as his guilt was undoubted. There has been a feeling that, notwith- standing his guilt, it might be impossible to prove it in a courtin a way that would se- cure the death penaity, and the citizens took the law in 4heir own hands, Torres was a tough-looking Mexican, of small men- tal caliber, who was never witout a cigar- ette in his mouth. KILLED IN THE ATTEMPT. A RAILROAD ROBBER SUOT DOWN IN A FREIGHT OFFICE. PIEDMONT, Ala., Aug. 20.—An attempt was made to rob the East & West Railroad freight office at Coal City, Ala., last night, and M. C, McOalley, one of the robbers, was killed. About midnight three men appeared at the office and began to Datter in the door. McCalley had entered, when parties who had concealed themselves in the office opened fire upon the robbers.

What the British Royal Society’s Com- mittee Has Found Out About It. From the London Times. The report of the Royal Society Committee on Color Vision establishes, if, indeed, there were any doubt of the fact, that nearly 4 per cent of the males in the civilized countries are deticient in acuteness of color perception, and that these persons may usually be de- scribed as being ‘‘blind,’’ completely or in- completely, toone ofthe primary colors of the spectrum. Blindness to red is the most common condition; Diindness to green comes next in frequency and blindness to blue israre. A few persons have been found who are blind to two of the three colors in- stead of to one only, and there have been in- stances of blindness to all. For the pur- poses of railway and Marine signalling the important conditions are Dlindness to red and to green, both of which, for reasons fully explained in the _ re- port, entail a liability to cevnfound these col- ors with one another, and. therefore to mis- take a danger signal for an indication of salety, or a port ight for a starboard one. A complete series of experl- ments has proved that no other col- ors can be used instead of red and zreen as signal lights, chiefly on account of the ciminished /uminosity and visibility of ail the colors which have been proposed asa substitute; and hence the only safety of ships and of trains 1s to be sought In the institution of such an examination, on the threshold of railway or marine service, @S may suffice to exclude candidates whotare unfit to enter either. The number of persons to be ex- cluded does not amount to quite 4 per cent of the maie population; and as many other forms of employment are as much open to them as to the color-sighteu, their exclusion from two industries cannot be looked upon as 8 hardship.: Even if it were, the safety of passenxers and goods must be regarded as & paramount considera- tion. therefore, recommends that cartels cnaneuetan should be scheuuled by the Board of Trace or otber public author- ity, and that no one shouid be permitted to engaxe in these employments until he had ob- tained a eeriificate Of normal color-vision from an appointed examiner. it has ap- peared in the course of the inquiry that many officers and men are afloat who, whether or not they are color-biind, have very defective vision in the ordinary sense, or defective vision of ovjects, and it Is recommended that examinations on this point should also be justituted, and should be repeated at reason- able intervals, a8 on promotion, or on enter- ing a fresh employment, or at least every third year. Detective Color-vision may be of two kinds. the first, Which is congeni- tal. a matter of formation,and absolutely un- alterable, so that one examination with re- gard to it, if properly conducted, is sufficient ior the whole of life; and a second, which may bethe result of disease, and which is most frequently occasioned by the excessive use of topacco. In this form, which may be recovered from, ordinary Vision is aiways also affected, and hence the tests for ordin- ary vision would suffice fur the detection of the required variety of color- blindness.

WhoIs Responsib‘e for Failure to Secure Any Clae as to Johnson’s Slayer—A Case of Curious Complications—War- rant for Slander—General Police News. The case of John Johnson, the negro taken to the City Hospital from the Dispensary on the night of July 25, with several ugly stabs in the body, and who died yesterday morning without having made a statement as to who his assailant was, has developed into a murder mystery -that. has already got the Police Department and the Dispensary officials at loggerheads as to the responsibility for such amystery. Johnson’s only statement was that he had been stabbed by another negro, whose name he did not give, on board a steamboat, and that he, Johnson, lived on Tenth street and Clark avenue, was 25 years old and unmarried, That a wan should be allowed to He for days at the hospital dangerously stabbed without the police endeavoring to locate bis assail- ant, and that he should finally die with the identity of his slayer stilla mystery, seemed so remarkable that an investigation of the case was begun last night. The investiga- tion develops thatthe police and the Dis- pensary doctors are respectively charg- ing one another with the responsi- bility for such a condition of affairs. Assistant Chief Reedy was seen at the Four Courts last night and stated that the fauit lay withthe Mspensary, where the man was first taken unknowntothe police, and that he was sent from there to the City Hospital with no statement having been obtained from him andnoreport made of the case. Dr. David Nichois of the Dispensary states in contradiction of this that Johnson was brought to the Dispensary from the Chestnut Street Station, in the Chestnut street wagon, and thatthe cot or litter on which he lay Is still atthe Dispensary. This story is confirmed by Jas. Lynch,night driver at the Dispensary whosays that Johnson was brought to the Dispensary about 9 o’clock on the night of July 27, from the Chestnut street station, and that afterward he, Lynch, took Johnson anda Mrs. Pauline Maloney, who had at- tempted suicide at the Oity Hospital, in the Dispensary wagon. Against these statements Officer Tubbs of the Chestnut Street Station states that the litter now at the Dispensary was used in carrying one Habermuelier, and not Johnson, from the Chestnut Street Sta- tion to the Dispensary on the night of Aug. 7. It 1s thought by the police that the Dispensary doctors have got the Johnson case confused with that of aman who was injured in the alley opposite the Union Mar- ketonthe same night, and who was sent by the police tothe Dispensary. The statement is made that opposite the Johnson entry in the Dispensary and hospital records appears the note, *‘Volice,’’ showing that the man was brought in by the police. Inquiry made in the neighborhvuod of Tenth street and Clark avenue, where Johnson claimed to have lived, falled to find anvone who knew sucha man or knew anything about him, Slander Charge14. Richard Schlagentweit, Secretary of the Brewers’ Union, called atthe Four Courts yesterday and swore outa warrant against John Winkelmeler of 2847 Bismarck street, charging him with slander. According to Schlagentwelt’s story, Winkelmeier keepsa boarding-house,and two months ago his wife left him and sued for a divorce. Win- Kelmeier, Schlagentweit alleges, circulated the report that Schlagentwelt was the cause of his wife leaving him. Schlagentwelt also charged that Winkelmeier stated that he (Schlagentweit) had embezzled $1,100 of the money belonging tothe Brewers’ Union, It was on this latter charge that the warrant was issued. Schlagentweit also wanted a warrant for the alleged statements by Winkelmeler that Schlagentweit had been the cause of his wife leaving him, but Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Estep refused to issue the warrant the testimony of Mrs. Winkelmeier would be required in the case, and a wife cannot tes- tify against her husband, Schlagentweit stated he boarded with the Winkelmeiers for two years, and alleges that Winkelmelier treated his wifein a very brutal manner, on one occasion breaking her arm, he claimed, with a broomstick, Schlagent- welt showed a copy -of a letter al- leged to have been written by Mrs. Winkelmeier to him dated Aug. 17, 1892, in which she states that she has heard that her husband charges him with being the cause of her leaving him (her husband). The letter denounces this asa iie, and then goes onto give an account of her husband’s alleged ill- treatment of her. The letter opens with ‘*‘Dear Professor,’’ and is signed Anna Winkelmeler, nee Kaitofen, Schlagentwelit stated that he did not know where Mrs, Winkelmeler was, but that she was a cook lua West End family. He also showed a copy of a letter which he stated he had written to Winkelmeler. Itis dated Aug. 14, 1892, and Is devoted to reciting Winkeimeter’s alleged bad treatment of his wife and denouncing Wikelmeter. Schia- gentweilt stated that all that be had done in interfering between the Winkelmeters was that when Mrs. Winkelmeier told him that she was going to leave him, he told her, he said, that he would be a friend to her and give her any assistance in his power. On July 24, Schlagentweit stated, Winkel- meier came to his office at Fourth and Valen- tine streets and asked him where his wife was,stating, Schlagentweit alleged, that ifhe found that she was liging with Schlagentweit that be would shoot the two them and then kill himself. ’ Saw the Body in Her Dream. Mrs, Caroline Helbing, a widow, living at 1901 Dodier street, called at the Morgue yes- terday afternoon and asked it anything had been heard of the body of her son, who was drowned in the river at Venice July 31, She said she was sure the body would be found here before long, as she had dreamed three nights in succession that she saw her son and that he had i £ told her his body would soon reach the Morgue, ‘ihe poor woman, was oat Q@gitated and cried as she related to the Morgue keeper the details of her dreams. **I saw him plainiy,’’ she said, ‘‘and tried to reach him, but something beld me back.

Iwantttocreate anew and awfully difficult role, Tam tooold to ever play the young loveragain. I am tired of the boister- ous fun of ‘The Mighty Doliar.’ What I de-. sire now is acharacter which shall porsray the sublimest of human attributes—utter selBsacrifice. It will be the last role I shall create, and I wish to be remeimbered by it. Now,that’s all I’m going tosay about it now. Think it over and see if something does. not suggest itseif to you.’’ Who can dispute thata Roman Catholig priest is the personification of self-sacrifice? But Mrs. Tupper, knowing the veneration ig which Florence held the clergy of his church, hesitated to propose to him that the centras figure of the new play be a reverend father, At last she did so. ‘‘It has been the ambition of my Mfe,’* cried Florence, ‘‘to play that character, but Ihave never dared to breathe it. And how (with great earnestoess), how could I better show the veneration I have for those good men than by portraying the life of a typical Roman Catholic priest? Think once! All over this great country, in thousands of ting parishes, there are men living simple, quietiives, men who have renounced every earthly love and: ambition, have obitterated self and have set their faces steatifastly - towards heaven. What led them to such sacrifice? By what conditions are their humble lives gurroundea? Are there no stories—no dramas here? The priest hag often been brought upon the stage as a walk- ing gentleman, an accessory to the plot, ag it were, but never as the heroin an Ameri- can play. I wish to show him ag he is—asI know him—ieading his brave, cheerful life of duty and devotion, father to all in his parish, from the roughest laborer to the tiniest child. Back of all this1 want a story of vital human interest. I beg you to get to work at once,’’ Four weeks from that day the first act of the pluy was submitted to Florence. He was most kind, most encouraging to the author, Sitting at his desk, his monocle stuck in his eye, his pencil in hand, bending over the play, he turned quickly now and then with the exclamation, ‘‘Why, this is good!’’ or, **‘No, no, tuat is very vad, it must be changed,’’ smiling his tender little smileifa passage struck his fancy, or putting his fore- finger in his mouth and looking at the offend- ing authorin helpiessly comical perplexity when a situation struck om as particularly absurd. He wasfullof auguries of success, of rose-hued prophecies of the opening night, with now and then a minor chorg of speech, amurmuredl foreboding, almost a presclence of the iast approaching end. Florence, indeed, took the liveliest interest in the play, an interest which did not falter in his last iliness, for even in his delirium he talked of his play, and begged his sister to look for it and see that it was safe. His heart was in the enterprise, for, as he repeatedly said, ‘*You see it has been the dream of my life.”’ The comedian’s gentle superstitions were known everywhere. ile was quite as super- stitious about the play as about everything else, and was constantly onthe alert for good omens. ‘*‘The most extraordinary thing occurred to-day,’’ he said, just before sailing for Lon- aon last June, ‘**l was talking with Tom Mec- Donough, whom lI consicer one of the most astute of manayers, and on whose judgment l would place a great deai of reliance, ‘Florence,’ said he, ‘‘why dou/t you do something? Why don’t you finish your mem- olrs, get a new play, create a new role?’’ ‘Well, Tom,’ 1 said, ‘i must get to work on those memoirs. I have the first chapter nearly finisned, but as for a new role—why, everything’s been done. There are no types left. And—what—do—you— think—he—said?’ with measured earnest- ness. ‘There is one type that hasn’t been done, and you are the only man on the Amer- ican stace who can doit, and that’s the Ko- man Catholic priest,’ ‘*‘My,’’ added Florence, ‘‘I can’t tell you how it impressed me. It knocked me all of a heap. ‘Ihere Il had the two first acts of the play packed to take to London. It’s a good omen, ‘*‘Don’t make me too sedate,’’ Florence would say, reading the play as it progressed towards completion. ‘‘Kkemember always that 1 am am u comedian, and whilet dignity of the role must be preserved, let me have all the amiable fun you can work Pag Florence’s great reverence for his mother’s church was constantly exhibited during this work, and when, through ignorance or care- lessness, any flippant allusion, however Siight, crept In the text the auth directly called to order. Thus the e tion *‘Holy saints!’’ tathe mouth o the characters was peremptorily cha - and, ina crisis of the play, where.a cracifix was introduced, it was interesting to) see the delicacy with which Mr. Florence proposed to handle the situation, The actor had no sympathy with modern arovatic nastiness. He despised the ae. gestive and realistic methods of ma pilay- wrights. ‘*Let us have no filth,’’ he ° ‘‘I will have nothing tbat will leave a bad teste, but all the love, sunsuine, music, birds and flowers you can crowd In.’’ His patriot- ism, 100, was manifest when he stipulated that the party should be purely American. ‘*Don’t let us bring the hero back 1! a fie * giand or the villain from Australia,’ urged, ‘‘Let us have all our people from home.

Wilderink of Ham- burg was in the city making arrangements for fhe shipping of American pork to Ger- many. Mr. Wilderink said: ‘‘American pork has come to Germany to stay. ere was and is a great fight against it, but this is made only by the land-holders, who are terrified lest the rental valueof their lands be reduced by the introduction of hog products from the United States. The rental value of German farming lands is very high in proportion to their productiveness, and the tenant can make little more than a bare living. Pork is very extensively used in ana apa and ifthe priceis lowered, land- Jords will be obliged to come down in their rents, as with lower prices for their pro duce, tenants cannot pay the present rents. it is for this reason that so Many scares are raised concerning the unhealihiness of American Aa give risetothe belief that it is diseased is the only hope that is lef. to those who de- sire its exciusion. Withoutthis no Govern- ment wouid dare xclude ane article that is a necessity of life to the work- ing classes. The American inspection laws have worked admirably and in scarcely an instance have the German inspectors been able to find triching@ in pork that has been examined by the United States officials. Recently acry was started that a quantity of diseased meat had been found, and this alleged fact was extensively adver- tised. An investigation proved that the meat had never been passed upon by the United States examiners, and there is a strong suspicion that it wasimported with the knowledge that it was diseased, and inorder to produce the impression that American meat was unsafe. The effect has been just the opposite of what was intended, as attention has been called to the excellence of the American inspection, and also to the means which are being adopted to discredit it. Any future claims of the kind will be looked upon with a great deal of doubt. The scheme roved to bea regular boomerang. To-day n Hamburg, the great importing point, the demand for American pork far exceeds the supply, and an immense amount is being imported,’’ Mr, Wildwink leaves for Kansas City this morning.

LOUIS, SUNDAY MORNING, AUGUST 21, 1892. AT BLOOMINGTON. A Day With the Democratic Vice-Presi- dential Candidate. HOW MRE. A E STEVENSON IS OCCUPIED WITH CAMPAIGN DUTIES. An Early Riser and a Hard, Rapid Worker ~The Morning Hour Which Is Set Aside for the Family Reunion—The Beautiful Affection Existing Between Him and His Aged Mother. BLOOMINGTON, Ill., Aug. 20.—The Demo- cratic ‘Vice-Presidential candidate, who Planned to spend much of the month of August here with his family, will begin the hard work of the stump about the Ist prox. While here, though, he is mot an idler. A tolerably regular daily programme ts ob- served at the Stevenson home. The birds in Franklin Park have hardly begun their matins before the chief person in the modest house across from the southeast corner of the squareis astir. Mr, Stevenson breaks fast at about 8 o’clock, and never later than 8:30. .Generally the family is with him at that hour, although sometimes he and the Private Secretary, Mr. Andrew McCormick, enjoy the morning meal alone. Breakfast over, it is an invariable custom for Mr. Stevenson to spend an hour with his family, and it is here that .he gentler qualities of the man appear attheir best. A beautiful affec- tion exists between the aged mother and her distinguished son which finds perhaps its freest expression in these daily seasons of relaxation. The wife and four grown-up children complete the morning family circle. A few minutes later, however, finds Mr. Stevenson immersed in the work of disposing of an immense correspondence. The regular grist of morning papers receives his atten- tion alsoatthistime. Besides a basketful of local prints he receives regularly the princi- pal dailies of Chicago, New York and St. Louis of both political faiths. The contents of these he scans with the alacrity of a vet- eran exchange editor. By 9:30 Mr. Stevenson had gotten down to business in earnest. His office is in the north- east corner room of the first floor at his home, which has been fitted up for his use since his nomination. The daily mail poured in there might be considered a big ten hours’ task for disposal by many men, but Mr. Stevenson generally gets it approximately finished during the forenoon, the num- ber of telegrams answered in a day sometimes being as high as 250. Every missive receives a courteous reply, whether it be from an unknown settlement in Wyoming or from the Democratic Central Committee of the State of New York. One class of letters which forma large percent- age of the mail each day are those asking for photographs of the Vice- Presidential candi- date, and these, too, are answered by sena- ing the article requested. The number of pictures thus sent out since the first of July would stock several good-sized galleries. During the hours in which the mail is being opened and answered Mr. Stevenson is also receiving such callers as may appear. To each of these he extends such a cordial but informal greeting as makes the visitor feel that heis inthe house of afriend. This so- cial quality of Mr. Stevenson is one of Kis strongest points in winning personal friends. He is one of the most entertaining of conver- sationalists. With a large stock of anec- dotes, he can illustrate any point he wishes to make, and at once create genuine merri- ment. Mr. Stevenson dines with his family at ito 20’clock, after which he resumes the dis- posal of whatever mail matter remains over from morning. During the afternoon he again receives visitors. The character of the callers hasundergonea change within the past two weeks, personal friends with con- gratulatory greetings having largely given place to visiting committees seeking Mr. Stevenson’s presence at sundry gatherings. To most of these he is forced to answer politely in the negative, his time being already fully engaged far into the fall. Much of the vice-presidential candidate’s time during the coming two weeks wili be occupied with preparing his speeches for his route in September and October. He wiil prepare with his own hand the first manu- script of such of these as will be written out in full. The first one will be delivered in this city, Aug. 27, and another at Sedalia, Mo., Aug. 30. Mostof his speeches will be neces- sarily extempore, inthis class being many of those to be spoken in North Carolina and Indiana. After Mr. Stevenson leaves home the first of September he will notagain be here, pnp +: possibly one day about the 15th, tillafter the 25th. In nmreparing the material for his speeches, Mr. Stevenson works with references at hand. He is acareful reader of the arguments on both sides of the great — questions, but after hearing the case from all standpoints, he draws his own conclusions, This city will remain his headquarters, and his son, Louls G., wlll assume charge of his correspondence during the fall months. One daughter, Miss Julia, will in all probability return to her studiesin the State Normal University, while Miss Letitia goes to Montl- cello Seminary at Godfrey, lll. The third daughter remains at home for the winter. NO MORE FIRST-NIGHT COURTESIES. Those Who Attend Mr. Charles Froh- man’s Plays in Future Must Pay. New YorK, Aug. 20.—Theatrical people ‘yead with a great deal of curiosity, yester- day, the following advertisement, which was printed in all the morning newspapers: ‘‘Mr. Charlies Frohman desires to state that hereafter no courtesies to professionals will be extended on the octrasion of his various first-night performances.’’ Mr. Frohman smiled yesterday, when asked the reason of the announcement. ‘‘It’s really business,’’ he said: ‘‘First-night seats are invariably sought for by people who are willing to pay ood rice for them. Just as much or" scramble exists among theat- people. The one class pays; the other doesn’t. speak as well as they might of a play, and are inclined to find fault with the least thing, and as they get their seats for nothing, I’m inclined to sell them instead: Why not?’ Mr. Dixey was more, emphatic than Mr. Frohman. ‘‘lintend doing what Mr. Froh- man does,’’ he sald, ‘‘for the opening night of the ‘Mascot.’ I even went to dyson’s and bought seats for theatrical people I knew rather than have them semen 5 ep I had two men to bring me news of how my friends enjoyed the performance. To my hor- ror they roasted it. There they satin my $2 and even $5-a-seat chairs—for Tyson doesn’t sell for love, you know—and the blue sulphurous smoke fairly rose as they turned me over and roasted me. I was hor- ribly rank—nothing pleased them. When Mr. Frohman had his opening I had the same men notice the effect of his production, It was exactly thesame. W hy, actually, one man found fault with the overture before it had been played.

NEW YORK, Aug. 20.—A peculiar disease has attacked Celia Risley of Port Jefferson, L.I. For months she has slept with her eyes staring wide open. Celia lives with her father, mother, brother and sister. Richard Risley makes his living from the water, oystering, clamming and fishing. He isa quiet, hard-working Englishman. Mrs, Ris. ley is a French woman, round and vivacious. Samuel, the son, is 20 years old; he works in the rubbers factory at Setauket, two miles away. Lillian, the other daughter,is 18 years old. She works in Bridgeport. A yearago Celia was unusually fat. She seemed so healthy that she was chaffed about it. Last September she entered the school at Port Jefferson. There she passed her {5th birth- day. One day about the middle of last Oc- tober Celia and her mother were returning home from the village. The wind was biow- ing strongly on shore. When they were half way across the beach Celia gave a fierce scream. ‘*‘Something has blown in my eyes. It’s all black. I can’t see.’’ Her mother caught her to save her from falling. A man who was passing carried the girl into the nearest house. For an hour she suffered from what seemed to be a very severe epilepticfit. Her limbs jerked spas- modically, her face worked ana twitched and she foamed atthe mouth. She remained in bed for three or four days after tie fit, seeia- ing to suffer only from exhaustion. In a week she was about as usual, but she was extreme- ly nervous. ina littie while her eyes seemed to enlarge as ifcaysed by the use of bella- donna. Celia hasyarticularly fine eyes and they are naturally larce and a soft brown. Extreme nervousness caused Celia to give up going to school. Her mother would not allow her to work about the house, and she spent most ofthetime reading novels. In- deed, that is her principal occupation now. The young girl began to lose flesh, aithough her appetite remained pretty keen, and she suffered no pain. It was about six weeks after the attack that Mrs. Risley discovered the very remarkable thing about her daughter referred to above. went to Celia’s room one night the young woman had gone to bed. she entered it she heard snoring. Whenshe ap- proached the bed she saw that her daughter’s eyes were wide open. There was a light burning in the room, and the mother could see plainly. Celia’s eyes seemed doubly large, but they were glassy and expressionless. So she passed every night. About a month ago her eyes protruded sothatit seemed they must burst from their sockets. She could not fuPy eyelids over them. Whenever she was in a_ strong light her eyes became flooded with § tears. It was about this time that a swelling ap- peared on the right side of her neck. The nervousness was greatly increased, but she continued to sleepand to read novels. She was placed under treatment and began to grow better. Nevertheless ths; eyes still pro- trude unnaturally and the swelling of the neck is stillthere, but is lessening. Celia is painfully thin and sue still sleeps with eyes staring intospace. ‘:The young girl is suf- fering from a typicai disease,’’ said Dr. Chambers, who is treating tier. ‘‘It isa well- known disease, although not met with often except in certain localities. It is found most frequently in Switzerland and the western part of this State. It is sup- posed to result from excessive dampness. The symptoms are the result of some vaso- moter disturbance. ,The vaso-moter con- trois the involuntary muscies, like those of the heartand respiratory organs. This dis- turbance causes congestion in the glands of the throat, and the swelling in the neck Is due toit. It also causes congestion and dilata- tion of the blood-vessels behind the globe of the eye, and makes the eyebail protrude.’’ close the EKRIEGERFEST. ee cee The Twelfth Annual Reunion of German Veterans. KANSAS CiTry, Mo., Aug. 20.—The twelfth annual reunion or ‘‘Kriegerfest’’ of the Ger- man Kriegerbund, which is the association in the United States of the veterans of the German Army who can show an honorable discharge .therefrom, began here to-day.

HOW SHE CAME TO WED ONE OF THE. RICH MAN’S SONS. Her Last Days Passed in a Lonely Hut on Staten Island—The Part She Playedin the Life.of a Well-Known New Yorker ~The Lasak Kamily History Recalled. New YorkK, Aug. 20.—In the center of the long stretch of meadow land along which skirts the beach on Staten Island from Arro- char to New Dorp like an oasis in a desert stands the little cabin of old Capt. Wiiliam J. Cook. No more desolate appearing and lonesome spot is to be found on all Staten Is- jand and probably no smaller and more re- pulsive abode. Inthis squalid little shanty with cats and dogs for companions have lived for several years the octogenarian and his wife. Here, too, were spent on such meager chafity as the Cooks afforded the last sad days of the checkered life of Mrs. Adelia B. Lasak, the widow of Edgar F. Lasak, the the son and partner of Francis W. Lasak who was at one time in the fur business with John Jacob Astor. Mrs. Lasak died in Smith’s in- firmary at Tompkinsville, 8.1,afew days agoattheage of 52. It was reported that shortly before her death she came into pos- session of property worth $1,500,000. This was found to be untrde. Of the early life of Mrs. Lasak Httle seems to be Enown except that she was the daugh- ter of Patrick and Bridget Mitchell and that her first marriage was with A. B. Stebbins, who it is said was a California merchant who died leaving her a fortune some years before her marriage to Lasak. From some old papers in the possession of Capt. Cook among them a transcriptof her marriage to Edgar F. Lasak and from Cook himself and other Staten Islanders were gleaned the following story: After the death of her husband in California Mrs. Stebbins came to New York in 1871. She was rich and soon became a profitable cus- tomer at the fur store ofthe Lasaks and also a welcome visitor at the Lasak mansion at Dobbs Ferry. She was a strikingly beautiful woman of education and refinement. It was on one of her visits to the Lasak store that she. first met Edgar, being introduced by his father. Young Lasak became infatuated with the handsome widow, and on Sept. 30, 1872, they were married bythe Rey. Dr. E. 0, Hough- ton of the ‘‘Little Church Around the Cor- ner.’’ They wentto live at No. 17 West Elev enth street, and subsequently to Fifth ave- nue and Thirty-third street, where the Stewart mansion now stands. Mrs. Lasak, itis said, had when ske mar- ried Lasak, £175,000 which she put into her husband’s business. They lived together un- tilthe husband’s death on July 29, 1881. It was found then that young Laska had, some time before his death, executed a deed, in which his wife was induced to join by certain representations, transferring all his prop- erty to his father. Thrown upon her own resources with lit- tle money Mrs. Lasak began casting about for means by whichto sustain herself. She Mnally drifted overto Cilfton, 8. I., and be- came interested with George Martin inthe Vanderbiit House. Some say she put some money intothe business; others sav all she put in was her good looks and her ability to entertain the guests. Anyway, Dusiness at Vanderbilt flourished, and many are the stories told of the great quantities of wine drank there under the bewitching influence of Mrs. Lasak. It was about this time that Mrs, Martin separated from her husband. She created a great sensation in the place by abducting her child, which had remained with the father, and taking it to Brooklyn in a tugboat which she had hired forthe purpose. Sometime after this Martin left the Vanderbilt and started a saloon near the ship yardin Clifton. Mrs. Lasak went with him. Martin died and Mrs. Lasak went to lomkinsville, where she was dispossessed shortly afterward. ‘‘After that,’’ said an old Staten Islander ‘‘letus draw the veil of charity over the life of Mrs. Lasak. She bad a heartas big asa house, and, notwith- standing her faults, everybody liked her. She was fullof life and fondof company.’’ The causeof Mrs. lasak’s deathis said to have been from an injury she received at the house ofa friend in Greenwich street about two months ago. She was helpingtolift a tnbfull of clothes when she felt something give way across her back. She was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where she remained about three weeks. Old Capt. Cook, with whom she had been living forsometime previous, took her home. On Wednesday she was taken to Smith’s Infirmary and diledthe following day. ithe dead woman’s daughter, Mrs. Charles O. Arnold, who ts said to be the wife ofa wealthy hardware merchant of Woonsocket, R. I., was notified. She arrived on Satur- day, Aug, 18, with Undertaker Gilbert of Woonsocket, who took charge of the body and removed it to Woonsocket for burial. Just after the settlement, about five weeks ago, of the litigation over the will of the elder Lasak, Mrs. Lasak brought suit against the heirs to recover her dower wight in cer- tain property at Dobbs Ferry, which had be- longed to her husband,but which she claimed had passed into the estate of the elder Lasak without any consideration being paid. ‘I'his suit was pendingat her death. Mr. Lasak, the dead woman’s husband, died several years before his father. The death of Mrs. Lasak frecalis the troub'es in the Lasak family. These troubles, it is said, resulted from a divorce suit be- tween old Mr. Lasak and his wife. Mr. and Mrs. Francis W. Lasak were natives of Ger- many. As time passed on the Lasak children grew up, and it was told that they had so little respect for their mother, that it caused open comment among the neighbors. The old man, it is said, often appealed to his children to be kind to their mother, but they heeded him not, and in 1861 Mrs. Lasak left her home. She had only $in her pocket and found shelter with a washerwoman. There wis one daughter, however, Antoinette, who stood by her mother, and when the old man made his will he cut Antoinette off witha small income. She contested the will, and by the recent settlement of the litigation, receives a Jarge slice of the $5,000,000 estate. a eee Ce Church Factions Fight. ST. MARYS, O,, Aug. 20.—Several weeks ago a split was caused in the congregation of the German Reformed Church at New Knoxville through a disagreement in regard to the re- tention of the minister. A new church is now in process of erection by the seceding faction. The action caused bad feeling, but the climax was capped yesterday, when the body of Henry Scott, who died last spring, was removed from the cemetery of the old church to the improvised cemetery of the new church. This action was the signal for arenewed outbreak, and the entire com. munity is taking a hand in the affair and in- dignation ts at its height. Missouri Corporations.

C., Aug. 19.—Many of the men who have gained notoriety in official and political life during the pasttwoor three years have characteristics thatare consid- ered very odd by those who have been closely associated with them. For instance, Senator Wolcott of Colorado, who has become very conspicuous in the United States Senate during his first term in that branch, probably has more striking characteristics than any of the many public men whom the people are watching with some degreeof interest. Mr. Wolcott first gained notoriety by an attack upon President Harrison, in a speech that he delivered inthe Senate. His next striking public ap- pearance was at the Minneapolis Convention in presenting a speech which placed ex-Sec- retary Blaine before the convention as a can- didate. Keturningto the Senate from the Minneapolis Convention, the Coloradoan was silent forsome time, but came to the front very determinediv one day and at- tacked the management of the Land Office. Inanagegressive speech he succeeded in knocking out the appropriation for special land agents very easily andthen turned his attention to the geographical survey. His attack upon Maj. Powellof that institution is still fresh in the minds of the public. Wolcott succeeded in cutting down the appropriation for this survey $200,000,and instigated an Investigation, which is likely tolead to some interesting results. At the present time the country has little in- formation about the workings of the Geolog!t- calsurvey, and the impression in Washing- ton is fast gaining ground that it is run in the interest of the United States Senators, who desire to place applicants, who have done them some good ina political way, in very soft berths. The most noticable thing though about Senator Wolcott during .the last year, Is the fact that he did not appear in the Senate twice attired in the same wearing ‘apparel. Every day the, breezy Colorado Senator would have on a new guit of clothes and the pattern was always strik- ing. This led toa good deal of gossip among his colleagues and the representatives in the press gallery, and after that time a study was made ofthe dress of the genial Senator from the Centennial State. A lttle latera paragraph appearedin the sochety columns ofa Washington paper stating that Senator Wolcott had no less than sixty-four distinct suits or clothes in his wardrobe. Mr, Wol- cott, however, does not appear to want to pose as the dude of the Senate, but seems to have an ambition more in line of an aggres- sive leader. , The renomination to Congress of John L. Wilson of the State of Washington probably indicates his re-election by an excellent ma- jority. Wilson, it will be remembered, is very small of stature, and his fighting weight is said to be at about 106 pounds. Wilson is the pugilistic member par excellence of the Lower House. Two years ago he had a fight on the floor with Rep- resentative Beckwith, over some matter that led toa very combative war of words between them, and, before the matter was settled in a vocabulary way, the two members came to blows. It was only last year that Representative Wiison had a very exciting time in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. He was stopped by a watchman atthe entrance of the building, but Wilson, in his excitable manner, pro- ceeded to pass with his party of friends and the result was that the old watchman is gaid to have drawn a revolver on the Washington State Representative, The matter was after- wards amicably settled, and the watchman, who was on duty at the door, was no lessa personage than a brother of Assistant Secre- ary Nettleton of the Treasury Department. While Mr. Wilson is considered a very ood Representative for his State, he has ined widéspread notoriety with his pugilistic ten- dencies. The gossipsin Washington are now busy- ing themselvesin discussing the character- istics of one or two men who are prominent as Managers of the present Democratic Na- tional campaign. : Senator Ransom of North Carolindts one of the members of the National Democratic Committee that is imbued with character- istics that make him a special target for these -gossips. A few years a Senator m resided at the Metropolitan Hotelin this city and at thattime was very much impressed with his importance asa t statesman. One morning Senator Vance i called at the Metropolitan Hotel some matters of local im Carolina with Mr. Ransom, ‘the Sena rived in the lobby of the hotel about 9:30 discovered Mr. Ransom in the lopby he was apparently ina v deep st some important question. ‘At the long hotel lobby there are immense rors. Senator Ransom was stately tread from one end other. He had his thumbs in the his vest and his breast was full dimensions; his brow Wwe! oblivionus -of @ —— and take in all the beauties of his somewhat athletic and handsome figure. ‘*Good morning, Ransom,’’ said Vance, in a pretty loud tone. Mr. Ransom paid no attention to this greet- ng: and this indicated to Mr. Vance that he did not hear him, so Vance took position ina doorway just off the lobby and watched with a great deal of interest the antics of his col- league on his morning dress parade. After he had waited fully three-quarters of an hour, Mr. Ransom turned toward the door- wor and spled his colleague. feilo, Vance,’’ he broke out; ‘*how are you? How long have you been here?’’ **T have been here fully an hour,’’ returned Mr. Vance. ‘*That is strange,’’ said Senator Ransom, **Why didn’t you call me?’’ ‘*Well, to tell thetruth,’’ answered Sén- ator Vance, ‘*I thought you were deeply studying some important question of State and did not consider it polite to bother vou.’’ Immediately after this conversation the two Senators are said tc have adjourned toa private room and held the conversation that Senator Vance calledto have with his col- league. it was during some important political event of the last session that a well-known Southern newspaper man, who had never met Senator Ransom, called in the Senate lobby one day and sent in his card to the Senator. This newspaper man was a very clever fellow in his way. He desired to get some information that only Ransom could give him. Whenthe North Carolina Senator came outintothe ante-roomthe newspaper man greeted him in about this manner: ‘*Senator, Ihave come to see you regard- ing same important information that I know you are the only mancan give me. While I never met you I have understood that there is noman in the upper branchof the Na- tional Congress who is better posted on de- | velopments in official and political matters than you are.’’ This compliment, it was noticed at once, greatly impressed Senator Ransom.

V————OoO Mrs. Herbert Ward’s Strong Language About Skirts and Trails. Mrs, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps Ward was a dress-reformer about the time she wrote ‘*The Story of Avis,”"* and she once madea lecture on the subject,a part of which is published in the August Arena. It would be interesting to know if she has modified those views, for she has not-written about dress for years and she has made no dress re- formers heroines in ber books. An extract from this old lecture follows: ‘*‘When I see women stay indoors the entire forenoon because their morning dresses trail the ground, and indoors all the afternoon be- cause there ¢gmes up a shower, and the Wwaiking dress would soak and drabbie;or when I see the ‘workingwoman’ standing at the counter, or at the teacher’s desk, from day to dark, in the drenched boots and damp stockings which her muddy skirts, fapping from side to side, have compelled her to en- dure; when ee her; a weeks thereafter going to Clarke for treatment as a consequence; when I find, afterthe most pafient expert- ment, that, in spite of stout rubbers, water- poe aiters and dress skirt three or four nches from the .ground, an ‘*out-of-door’’ girl ig compelled to a general change of clothing each individual time she returns from her daily walks in the summer rain; when I see a woman climbing up-stairs with her baby inonearm and its bowl of bread and milk tn the other and see her pone on her dress at every stair (if, indeed, baby, bowl, bread, milk and mother donot godown in universal chaos, it is only from the efforts of thong skill and ex peri- ence on the part of the mother in performing that acrobatic feat); when phy- siclans teJl me what fearful Jars and strains these sudden jerks of the y from stum- bling on the dress-hem impose upon a woman’s Intricate organism, and how much less injurious to her a direct fall would be than this start and rebound of nerve and muscle, and how the strengest man would suffer from such accidents; and when they further assure me ofthe amount of calculable injury wrought upon our sex by the weight of skirting brought upon the hips, and by thus making § the seat o all the vital &nergies the pivot of motion and center of endurance; when I see women’s skirts, the shortest of them, lying (when they sit down) inches deep along the foul floors, which man, in delicate appreciation of our concessions to his fancy in such respects, has inundated with tobacco juice, and from which she sweeps up and carries to her home the germs of stealthy nesiilence; whenI see aruddy, romping school-girl, tn her first long dress, beginning to avoid coasting on her doubie-runner, or afraid of the stone walls in the bineberry flelds or standing aloof from the game of ball, or turning sadly away from the ladder which her brother ig climbing to the cherry tree, or begging for him to assist her over the enunwale of a boat; when I read of the sinking of steamers at sea, with ‘nearly all the women and chiil- dren on board’ and the accompanying com- wients: ‘Kvery effort was made to assist the women up the masts and out of danger till help arrived, but they could not climb and we were forced to leave them totheir fate;’ or when I hear the wail with which a million lips take up the light words of the loafer on the Portiand wharf, when the survivors of the Atlantic filed past him, ‘Not a woman among them ail! God’—whenI consider these things, I feel that I have ceased to deal with biunders In dress and have ene tered the category of crimes.’’ few r. THE Peerless Knabe pianos sola by J.

The wild recklessness and extravagance of George IV. have become proverbial in his- tory. During one of his carouses shortly after his coronation, he, in a semi-intoxicated state, commanded that six of the palace chambermalids be brought before him. The order was obeyed, whereupon the King, turn- ing to his associates, asked them to make wagers upon the ladies as to which one would smoke the most cigars in half an hour, Upon hearing what was expected of them two or three of the maids endeavored to beat a hasty retreat from the royal presence,’ but were prevented from doing so by the attend- ants. A box of mild cigars was produced and each chambermaid was bidden to ight and smoke one. The ludicrous manner in which most of them attempted to lignut the weeds caused the most boisterous merriment among the court- fers, in which the monarch heartily jofned, With the exception of one maid, the rest tried to ight theircigars without first cut- ting off the end, Only one succeeded in struggling through a whole cigar, but she had to be removed ina fainting state. The others refused to smoke more than half of theirs, to the great annoy- ance of the King and hfs courtiers, ae — NOW OPEN. 415 WASHINGTON AV.

a St. Louis Bost Bisptd, Sodan, Sugtst £1 1692 a ee WOMAN'S WORK. THE W. C. T. U. PREPARING FOR AN ACTIVE EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGN. The ladies of the W. ©. T. U. have marked out for themselves a season of labor during the coming fall. The first thing to engross their attention is the State Convention at Springfield, Sept. 30 and Oct. 1,2and3. A large delegation will represent St. Louis and do honor to a gathering which will include many of the prominent ladies of the State. The State will be redistricted by the conven. tion ina manner which will make each sec- tion-of the State easy of access to the district superintendents. At present the Congres- sional district lines are used by the W, C, T. U. to mark the divisions of the superintend- ents, but the ladies find that the terri- tory is in many instances too large for effective work and it has been decided to dl- vide the State into thirty-two districts. The only end which the convention wiil have in view will be to make each corner of the State as easy toreach as possible, and thus facilitate the work of the organization. On Sunday, Oct. 1, many of the ladies In at- tendance at the convention will fill the pul- pits of the Springfield churches. In the afternoon an anti-tobacco mass-meeting wiil be held. This novel gathering is expected to arouse much interest and do much good. Mrs. F. BH. Ingalls, the National President of the Department of- Narcotics, is anxious to establish for the anti-tobacco mass-meeting afixed position in the long role of many named assemblages of people, and tothat end she will try to have present some of the national lecturesses who are devoted to the cause of anti-narcotics. The present officers of the State organization are Mrs. Clara C. Hoffman, Kansas City, President; Miss Eilen D. Morris, Kansas City, Corresponding Sec- retary: Mrs. Kate F. Newton, Bolivar, Re- cording Secretary; Mrs. Julia A. Glazier, 8a- vannah, Treasurer; Vice-Presidents, Mrs. C. P. Dobyns, Shelbina; Mrs. 8. R. Callahan, Moberly; Mrs. C. E. Home, St. Joseph; Mrs. M. P. Coleman, Kansas Oity; Miss E. P. Robb, Columbia; Mrs. T. FE. Kizer, Louisiana; Mrs. E. B. Ingalls, 8t. Louis; Mrs. Lena 5 um- mert, De Soto; Mrs. S. A. E. Herrick, Hous- ton; Miss Ella Harrison, Carthage; Mrs. Myra B. Cushing. Marionville; Miss Carrie Lee Carter, Dexter. The national convention will be opened at Denver, Oct. 28, and although a long way distant the local members ofthe W.C. T. U. are beginning to think of this greatest ofall eventsintheir national life. The most at- tractive feature of the national convention will be a phonograph, which will hold the attention of the assembled hosts of temper ance. It will repeat an address which Lady Henry ‘Somerset, President of the ritish Women’s Temperance Association, delivered atthe mouth of the phonograph, specially for her sister-workers at Denver. The ladies will keep their ears open to hear every word which the wonderful machine will utter, The ladies of the local W. C. T. U. have mapped outa busy season of educational work in the city, in which several prominent members of the organization will take part. Mrs. Virginia Bridges of New York, a well- known member of the National Association, willbe here in October, the guest of the Young Women’s Christian Association. She will deliver several lectures while here. Mrs. A. F. Benjamin will also come in October to give a series of talks and especially to direct a number of parliamentary drills. Rev. Anna Shaw, who was in St. Louis in the early part of this year, will return in October and deliver a lecture on the *‘Fate of Repub- lics.’’ Finaily Mrs. Ciara Holbrook smith, so well remembered for her physical culture lectures and exercises, will come toSt. Louis in November to devote a week to the direc- tion of exercises for the local W. C. T. U. Historical Information Wanted. Mrs. Augusta Ramon Salos of 81 East One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street, New York City, has issued an appeal to all women of the United States, to send to the ‘‘Daughters of the Revolution,’’ ‘*United States Daugh- ters,’’ 1776-1812, and _ the **Columbian Daughters,’’ 1892, all historical facts connected with their families, that they may be properly recorded and gathered for the purpose of creating historical matter for the United States of America during the anni- versary year of the discovery of America, Many ladies belonging to the highest rank of society have already been enrolled in this association. The late Mrs. Rufus J. Lackland, had she lived, would have been the President of the Missouri branch; Miss Winnie Davisis Presi- dent of the Mississippi Association, and from the following list some idea can be gleaned of the high standing of the _ associ- ation from the prominent names of ladies connected with it.

The ladies of the Christian Orphan Home Board will give two excursions on the steamer War Eagle on the day and evening of Sept. 1. These excursions are given to raise means to finish paying for the ground purchased on Semple avenue, on which toerect a suitable building; $250 is the amount needed, and the ladies are extremely anxious to pay that so that work on the building can be com- menced. The tickets are so low it is hoped thatall friends of the orphan will,buy as many as possible, thus giving themselves and friends a pleasant day’s outing or an evening’s entertainment, and at the same time aid a most needy and deserving insti- tution, There will be a splendid musical and liter- ary programme for each excursion. Ice cream, lemonade, lunches and full meals will be served. The price of tickets for adults is 25 cehts, or 35 cents at the boat, for children under i2 years 10 cents, or 15 cents at the t. The boat will leave the foot of Locust cet at 8:30 0’clock in the morning and 7:30 | e evening.

Flying Dutchman Farties for Oharity’s Sake Popular in Sedalia. Written for the SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH. A young married woman who has been spending part of the summer in Sedalia, Mo., gives guitea glowing account of the chief fancy of the Sedalia young folks for passing away the hot summer evenings. They all congregate about the locality of the ‘‘Merry- go-round’’ or *‘Flying Dutchman,’’ as many persons call it, and take their turnin riding the wooden horses to the gay and giddy music of the hand-organ. Charity has been the real instigator of these **Merry - go- round’’ equestrian parties, Two of the Sedalia churches have those ma- chines which ere generally so popular among children that they will often spend their last nickel fora ride upon the flying dutchman and almost endanger their lives in trying to catch the number of brass rings, as the wheel goes around, upon a spear which en- titles one to another ride free of charge. Since it has become the latest fad among the grownup young folks of Sedalia to pat- ronize this gay and giddy style of locomotion the church people are reeping quite a har- vest for their charities, " Une machine is placed in one part of the town and the other at another, and each moonlit night has found them surrounded by the society young folks of Sedalia, who are madly enthusiastic over this last fancy. It is said that Miss Isabel Domil, the Sedalia belle so weli-known all over the State, is enthusiastic in pursuit of the flying dutchman, and each evening is found the center of a merry crowd, mounted upon one of the inanimate horses, accompanied by her escort, fiying around the ring. It has not yet become a fashion in St. Louis for the creme de ilacreme to patronize the merry-go-round, but it was whispered a week ortwo ago that an account ofa riding party given in oneofthe fashionable jour- nals was simply a quartette of young ladies and gentlemen who went out fora lark and stole a ride on the flying dutchman stationed near Forest Park, and then one of the party wrote an account of the escapade as q sweil riding party. Doubtless, if charity prompted, merry -go- round parties would become, popular in St. Louls also as a pastime for those who are de- prived of summering away from home.

ANew Style of Fancy Work Becoming The Summer Girl Has Made It Very Con- Popular With the Ladies. Written for the SUNDAY PoOSsT-DISPATCH. Anew kind of work is being introduced in the East among those who are fondof new fancy stitches for ornamenting table scarfs, chair covers, portieres, etc., for beatifying their homes. This work is called the Mount Mellick, and originates in Mount Mellick, Ireland; like Kensington embroidery came originally from the locality known as South Kensington. The Mount Mellick work ts really an old art re- vived, as many of our discoveries in art are. The first example of this work Known for many years is upon an 0old-fashioned white Irish linen bedspread, which numbers over a hundred years, and was brought toNew York City by its owner. The white linen ground work of the counterpane was literally covered with the beautiful stitches and lovers of art work went wiidaboutit. Thus farthere have been no examples of the work seenin St. Louis, al- thougn it is being widely taught in the East- ern and Northern cities. The embroidery is done with fine grades of white cotton threaa, the coarsest being almost like a small cable in size. This threadis difficuit to get. Itis sometimes called Switzer cord. There.are fifteen entirely different stitches which may be done upon linen or the loose material commonly calied denim or jeans. A dark-blue shade of jeans witha flower of the Mount Mellick work In eachcorner anda fringe of alternate white and biue makes a lovely table drapery and one that washes beautifully. It also makes pretty drapery for the dressing table, bed, doors and man- tels. A number of ladies have sent abroad for the white linen and satin damask which is so hard to get here. Sometimes all five grades ofcord is used in working one spray offlowers. Itis not only one of the most beautifuland durable fancy stitches yet known but there isa fascination about it rarely found in fancy work. PATENT BOOK AND PAPER-HOLDER. A Convenience for Women Who Want to Knit and Read. A woman, whose fingers are never idle, wil! find the new book-holder a very practi- cal arrangement, which permits her to read while knitting, crocheting or doing other fancy work.

The curious cut-off, the corselet dress, has attained a conspicuous place in the summer costume. Young girls have especially adopted itard made it their favorite design for all- round day gowns. The skirt and corselet— one plece—are made of anything durable for Knocking about, and the skirts worn with it afford a variety tothe costume, Handsome corselet gowns, suitable for carriage and afternoon wear, are made of light-weight ladies’ cloth. Magenta red, scarlet, deep old rose and Gobeilin Dlue are favorite colors. Three rows of black satin ribbon of grad- uated widths makes a 2ood skirt border. A modest cofselet costume, here pictured, is of old rose cloth, with a full gathered blouse and large puffed sleeves of black lace. The skirt has for order a black lace ruche, with several rows of narrow ribbon above it. EXERCISE FOR WOMEN. Notto Be Overdone if Good Looks Are to Be Preserved. ‘*Ladies may be interested to know’’ says a writer to London Truth, ‘‘that a muddy com- plexion is often a consequence of violent clambering of hills, the blood losing, when overcharged with carbonic acid, its ruddy glow, and the skin delicacy in trying to aid in working off the polson. Soft, clear com- plexions are much more common in ‘roll- ing’ countries than in highlands. The Swedish women have in this respect much advantage over the Norwegian; and, so far aslcan judge from personal observation, the Ayrshire girls have more to be proud of than the Hixhland lassies. Those who go in for pedestrianism and lawn ten- nis should carefully train, their breath- ing organs to Keep their good looks (when blessed with them), or to im- prove their appearance when they are not good-looking.

Boston, Aug, 20.—It has been a week of gayety at all the Kastern resorts—the gayest of allin the social season so far, with one in promise next week that will discount all, practically closing the season. Fond parents have already begun to think of school days, and preparations are being made on all hands for a hasty departure, that home may be reached when the school bell rings on Sept. 1. Great is the influence of the youngster in this respect. Bar Harbor has had tennis asa craze since Monday, and its been the only week with any life there whatsoever this year, Mrs. Jefferson Davis and her daughter, Miss Winnie Davis, are the most notable arrivals, coming from the Plier, where they passed July. Mrs. Davis entertains the guests at the St.Sauveur nightly with reminiscences ofher late husband, and particularly of his experi- ences at Fortress Monroe. The ranks of literateurs at Bar Harbor are added toby the arrivalof Mr. Thomas Nel- son Page of Virginia, author of Southern dia- lect stories; Capt. Chas. A. King, U. 5. A., the writer of army stories, and Mr, Frank H. Stockton, the novelist. Maj. Henry Kyd Douglas, a noted Mary- lander, who was Stonewall Jackson’s Aide- de-Camp, is a late arrival at Bar Harbor. The preparations for Bethlehem’s gala day, Aug. 23, are all complete, and the celebration will be a great success. This is always the grandest event inthe mountain season, the programme comprising a coaching parade, in which the Western visitors are always the most conspicuous, athletic contests,dancing, band concerts and fireworks. The powerful search light on the summit of Mt. Washington has been in operation night- ly the past week, anditis understood that several expe riments in observing the pene- tration of the light through the clouds and fogs have proved quite successful. It’sa strong light—100,000 candle power—and its rays have been seen ona ciear night over 100 miles away. A good story Is going the rounds of the sea- shore about bathing in scanty costumes at Narragansett Pier, where one piece of cloth coversa pretty girl much as did a fig-leaf clothe the dwellers in the Garden of Eden. A hotel proprietor was discussing the suits of the bathers with a friend at Nantasket, when the friend reminded him that everybody bathed in trunks at,the Pier. ‘‘Well, that’s nothing,’’ said mine host, ‘‘Why I’ve hada boarder for three weeks who has been in bathing daily, but he had no trunk, sol’m out $75. The two tallest summer debutantes at Nar- ragansett Pier bathe in white serge, The fairest biondes wear navy blue jersey cloth with baby blue trimmings, But the typical suit of. the Western girl is of a grayish green wool, with a white yoke at the neck, an anchor stretching across the chest, worked in crim- son and brown. The short-kilted skirt is gathered in at the waist and stops a little below the knees. Beneath the skirt one gets an occasional glimpse of emerald-hued tights, and the brown stockings are gartered from ankle to knee with the crimson thongs of her brown sandals. A jaunty poke bonnet hides her face, and one of the latest of these bonnets Is of green straw. It seems like an odd costume, but you’ve no idea how charm- ing it shows off a pretty fairy. It has been somewhat quiet at Newport, as many of the cottages are in mourning, and are thus debarred from carrying out their original intentions, But for the deaths of Willie Vanderbilt and Mr. Wm. Astor the Newport season would have been a success in every particular. Mrs. Willie Vanderbilt was to havecome forth as the leader and usurp Mrs. Astor’s proud position, trusting on the $3,000,000 ‘‘cottage’’ to make her a reigning sensation.

A young gi ofits deadly WOMAN'S BACKBONE, Fashion Has Decreed That Gowns Must Be Low in the Back. Written for SUNDAY PoOsT-DIsPATcnH. Not many years ago the writer sat in a hard seat in a little town-hall in a Western villaze | listening to the annual commencement ex- ercises of the high school. It was a great event in the town, and as a last touch of ele- gance, there were printed programmes set- ting forth the titles of the performances. As the eye wandered down the long list ft — atthe uncompromising title, ‘*Back- one.’’ One might be pardoned a kind of mild curi- osity as to what would follow. A young girl rl clad in a precocious long gown, with her straight hair, which ought to Style of Other Daya. have hung in a girlish pigtail down her back, tossed up intoa high assumption of youa ladyhood. Her thin, little arms show through the white of her gown, and her hands were stuffed into white gloves three sizes too small. ' This was the young woman who was to tell the world something new on the subject of **Backbone.’’ “ **Backbone’’ was a figure of speech used’ for courage, andthe paper wasthekind of thing thatone always listens to ata school commencement—full of metaphors and moralities and platitudes, and things that the poor child couldn’t possibly know any- thing about. One always listens to it and never hears it. The writer didy’t. But by and by, through the patter of”*words one sentence struck sharply—these words, in a high, shrill voice: ‘*Women do not show as much backbone in public as men do.’’ . my child! how often since has that shrill sentence from that * preposterously grown-up child pierced the ear.

SHE REFUSED TO PROSECUTE AND NO ACTION WAS TAKEN, 6 ' The Residents of North Ninth Street In- dignant at the Charges Made Against Hop Lee’s Laundry—The Girl Told the Officer That She Had Been Ruined in the Chinese Laundry. People living in the vicinity of North Ninth, Mound and Brooklyn streets have been very much wrought up since last Thursday after- noon over an arrest which took place there at that time of a pretty 14-year-old girl. About 2:80 o’clock that afternoon Officer - McMullen entered the Chinese laundry of Hop Lee, No. 1741 North Ninth street, and took therefrom ayoung girl giving the name of Annie Hunt, and who said she lived on Franklin avenue, near Ninth street, It was, supposably another case of Chinese de- bauchery similar to the one which happened on Fourteenth street some time ago, when three Chinamen were nearly mobbed by a crowd of infuriated citizens. Parents livingin the vicinity of North Ninth and Mound streets who had permitted their children to play on the street near Hop Lee’s laundry were very much excited over the arrest and are wondering why the police did not arrest the Chinamen. The laundry is situated on the west side of the street three doors above Mound street and directly adjoining the barber-shop of Charles Leonard. Like all Chinese laundries the front room on the ground floor is used as a shop for recelving and delivering parcels and bundles. There are also two ironing boards located in this room, The rear room is usedasa kitchen and laun- dry proper, where the washing is done, and | back of this is the yard. Between these rear and front rooms tbere is a double partition inclosed by curtains in the passageway leading between the two rooms. In this narrow apartment, which is not more than 4 feet wide, are the bunks for sleeping. A heavy iron screen protects the front win- dow, and atypical Chinese laundry sign ex- tending from the sidewalk to the second floor of the building is stationed at the side of the door. The two upper floors arg let out to lodgers. The laundry is largely patronized by peo- ple living squaresaway. Many of the in- habitants in the immediate vicinity are people of the laboring class, who live with their families and do theirown washing. But the laundry has been in existence for some years and does a very thriving business. About 5 o’clock in the afternoon and again at 8 o’clock in the evening, Friday last, a Posr- D1IaPATCH reporter saw groups of children gathered in the vicinity ana playing in and aboutthefrontshop. For fully ten minutes three little girls, rangingin age from 7 tol? years, stood at one of the front tables talking tothe grinning Celestial who was ironing shirts. ° The facts connected with the arrest as told by the officer and those living in the neigh- borhood are as follows: About twenty minutes after 2 o’clock Thursday afternoon a young girl, apparently between 14 and 15 years of age, clad in a neat white muslin dress with red slippers and black stockings, walked into Hop Lee’s laun- dryand began talking familiarly with the two Chinamen who wW ere in the front part of the shop. A young gentleman who lives on Labeaume street was passing up Ninth street a few minutes later, and chancing to iook in- to the laundry saw her jump behinda cur- tain just tothe rear of the partition which separates the sleeping bunks from the front workshop. Thinkingitastrange action on her part he stopped tor a second and glanced in again over his shoulder. She was peeping out, and immediately pulled back her head and closed the curtain upon observing him. He then went on as far as Brooklyn street, and was standing talking toa friend when he noticed a commotion in front of the laundry, and soon saw a policeman holding the girl he had seen and bringing her towards him. She was pleading with him and begging to be re- leased, but he took her ontothe North Mar- ket street station, Officer McMullen, who made the arrest, says thathe was standing | on the corner of Mound and Ninth street when he saw the girl enter the laundry. She was rather modestly dressed, he thought, and supposed she had gone in for a bundle of washing, as she carried nothing in her hahds uponentering. Thinking her Stay was rather prolonged, he walked up to the door of the laundry, and not seeing her anywhere, went in and spoke to the two Chinamen in front about it. * Then, without waiting for a reply, he walked towards the rear, pulled back the curtain and there saw sitting on one of the bunks. When asked what she was doing there she began to whimperand sgid she only cameintotie hershoe. Asthe China- men professed notto know her and the officer had not caught them with the girl, he ce A et ga herand took her to the Fourth District Station. On the wary she begged to be released and promised never to go there again. She confessed to the officer that one of these Chinamen had seduced her some time before and had given her 2 cents, urging her at the same time to come back again. She said that this was only. her second visit but some of the neighbors are ofthe opinion that they have seen her frequently in the vicinity. A patron of Charlies Leonard’s barber shop, No. 1742 North gNinth = street, claims that about six weeks ago he saw one of the China- men take a woman apparently about 2 years ofageintothe apartment where the unks are located. | This story is also corroborated by clerks and otbers living in the vicinity. When taken tothe Fourth District Station the girl gzave two names and two addresses, voth of which are known to be incorrect. Capt. Joyce finally succeeded in getting from her where her mother could be found and she was sentforin the neighborhood of North Grand avenue, The girl refused to make any complaints against the Chinamen and as there was no a charge to be preferred against her Capt. Joyce turned her over to her mother. In speaking of the arrest Capt. Joyce sald he had no doubt that the girl went to ihe laundry for no good purpose, but as the Chinamen professed not to know ber and ' gaid she simply came in and said she wanted * to tie her shoe, he had no grounds on which to hold her, or toarrest the Chingmen. Capt. Joyce was not aware that the laundry had the reputation given it In the neighborhood and will probably investigate this case more thoroughly and keep a sharp look out on these Mongolians in the future, Among the Turners.

The Sales Made Not of Speculative Char- * acter—A Good Inquiry to Rent Sub- urban Houses, But They Are Not to Be Had~The Week’s Sales.! A good degree of activity prevailed in the real estate market last week. The phenom- enal burst of the week ending Aug. 13 was not duplicated, and it would have been, unreasonable to expect it in this season when usually midsum- mer duliness prevails. Nevertheless the transactions foot:up respectably, and will compare favorably with those of the corresponding week of August in any previ- ous year, The daily footings are as follows: No. of weee. Consideration. » . « 88,846 149,454 odee £597,191 Plenty of encouraging features character- ized the market. There was an especially strong and earnest inquiry for suburban property, anda good share of the transac- tions Wasin. that kind of property. ‘ome agents report that there was as much stir in thisline asthere was lastspring. This is a remarkable circumstance for so late in the season. Most of the inquiries were for homes —$ix to ten-room houses, and ranging from $4,000 to $10,000 and $12,000 in price; besidesa fair demand for cottages, etc. The ingulry for houses to rent is said to have been actually tremendous, Everybody seems tu wantto go into the suburbs, and the agents have been driven almost crazy by ademand they cannot satisfy—there being absolutely nothing. of the kind to be had. Houses in the suburbs to rent are about as plentiful as hens’ teeth. This demand would seem to indicate a large accession of popula- tion from somewhere, What is noteworthy about it ils, that it bas broken out so greatly in advance of the usual autumnal uprising, when people have returned from the summer vacation and are looking for winter quarters. Those who are in the market to buy homes for thelrown occupany is (as stated) very large;and so, also is the number of those who are looking forinvestments. The latter are.generally inclined to prefer down-town property—thatis, property inside of Grand avenue, and located within a reasonable dis- tance of the business center, It is regarded as a gooa sign that there is not much of an inquiry for property for merely speculative purposes. Business is to be done on a sober, bed-rock basis. There is lots of money in town to be put in- torealestate, Six percent is the current rate,for the ordinary run of paper. Buton good central property, where, say, $50,000 or more may be desired, and on long time, some concession is made and loans have been made at 5 per cent. A WOMAN’S BRIGHT IDEA. Speaking of inventors, a real estate firm on Chestnut street permitted the .reporter to copy the following froma lady in Arkansas, who has devised a bright scheme to geta living at someone else’s expense: EUREKA SPRINGS, Ark,., Aug. 10, 1592. Mesars. : Seeing your card hasinduced meto write to see if you can do for me what! wgntdone. Can you nexgo- tiate a loan from one who ioans money, and buy property withitthat will pay the interest onthe money and acertain amount of the principal back each month? ‘Take, for instance, property that costs $6,000; it ought to reiit for $1,000 or $1,200 a year. You see by en- closed circular that money can be borrowed cheap and pay it back by monthly installments. Read care- fully so you can understand the system. Ican’t come to St. Louis, but if vou can’tdo what Il want done, there is no use for agents. I want to borrow money ahd invest it where it will pay its own interest and costs, and make me something wesides, in place of investing the money in cattle, hogs or farming, It you can do this for me, let me know at once and oblige. The loan has not yet been made. TWO SUBURBAN DEALS. The McKee-Hartnagel Real Estate Co. ef- fected a sale of twenty-five acres on Lartmer avenue toa syndicate headed by Judge John H. Terry.

The immense throng of people which is marching towards Kansas City may make its appearance at any moment with the assurance of finding everything in readiness for its reception. B. L Joodson, chairman of the Pythian Accommodation Committee, has given out the news thatthe informaticn bureau has secured quarters for 100,000 people, and this is considered a fair estimate of the number which may be ex- pected. The information cards have been printed and are ready for distribution. They will be parceled outin the proportion of 20,- 000 to the railroad companies for distribution on incoming trains, 25,000 to the Pythian Committee and an equal number to be held in reserve. The assignment of quarters is proceeaing. Wisconsin and Connecticut regiments have been assigned’ to the tents immediately in front of headquarters, and Kentucky has been located north of Fifteenth street. To-morrow afternoon divisions of the uni- formed rank from Kansas, Missouri, ‘Tennes- see, lilinols, Indiana and New Jersey will go into campandthe whole army will answer roll call on Tuesday. Gen. Carnahan has made out his orders for the regime of the camp andeverything appertaining thereto, but they will not be issued until Monday morning when the formal opening of the en- campment will occur. The Commissary- Generals and Quartermasters of the various brigades, regiments and divisions of the uni- form rank are reporting hourly at headquar- ters and after ascertainingthe location of the quarters assigned to the commands which they represent they immediately set about making all necessary preparations for the reception and comfort of the sir knights.

To-morrow the first of the visit- ing divisions will arrive and Sunday and Monday they will come by train loads. Quartermaster-General Cain will experl- ence some difficulty in assigning quarters to the State Drigaces on account of the tard. /nessof the quartermasters. They were to have reported on Wednesday, but few have put in appearance, and consequently he will have considerable work on his hands the next two or three days. An Increase in Bank Discount. The banks of this city have cometothe conclusion that they cannot loan any more money at the present low rate of interest, and itis possible that ifthe present demand | keeps up an increase inthe rate may be ex- | pected to follow. One of our leading mer- chants, when seen upon the subject, said: **It is immateria! tome what rate of interest | the banks charge me so long as I can get | Hygeia Water, clearas crystal, sparkling as a diamond.

McDavitt, a traveling salesman for A. 8 Aloe & Co., opticians, at 415 North Broadway, attempted to shoot Mr. Lew Aloe about 4:15 o’clock yesterday afternoon. The gentlemen had had some business difficulty and yesterday afternoon about 3 o’clock the trouble was renewel in the surgical department on the second floor, where Mr. Lew Aloe is incharge. A fight ensued and Mr. McDavitt was forcibly ejected from the store. It is said that McDavitt went away threatening to be avenged. At any rate he saun'tered into the store an hour and a quarter later, and going upstairs ap- proached Mr. Aloe with his arms folded, Aloe told him to get out of the place as he aid not want anything more to do with him, and threatened to eject him as be had done before if heat- tempted toremain. McDavitt then drew his pistol from his belt, but before he could use it Aloe had seized him and pinioned his arms, Messrs. Dave and Alfred Aloe had followed MecDavitt upstairs and quickly came tothe assistance of their brother. McDavitt broke away, however, and rushing down stairs ran through the back door into thealley, where he was arrested by Officer Chase, who was hurrying tothe scene of the fight. The patrol wagon was summoned and the pris- oner taken to the Chestnut Street Station. At the station he gave the name of W. G, Ilines, but letters found on his person re- vealed his identity. McDavitt claims that he did not go tothe store to shoot Aloe, but to geta pairof eye-glasses which, he says, he left there. He alleges that Aloe aftacked him and that he drew the weapon in self-defense. He waslockedup on charges attempt to kill and carrying concealed weapons. Aloe’s version of the affair is that McDavitt had violated a contract with them and that McDavitt owed them $75, overdrawn on account, which he refused to pay. Hesays that McDavitt calied hima vile name and that he. knocked him down, after which McDavitt went away and re- turning attempted to shoot him. A mutual friend arranged this evning tu ball McDavitt on condition that he would leave the cityjto- night,,.Mr. Aloe agreeing tohave the case nolle prossed Monday. An Exposition Novelty. It has always been a noted feature of the St. Louis Exposition, remarked upon by all of the outside visitors, that there has been an entire absence of any freak charac- | teristics, such as Circassian beauties andi two-headed boys. This year, for the first time, the managers of the Exposition will be able to show to the entire world the great- est‘exhibition of pure drinking water which St. Louis has ever shown, Hygeila Water, clear asacrystal, sparkling asa diamond, will be one of the features of the St. Louis Exposition, as it will be of the World’s Fair in Chicago. Ture water means good health. = wo Mining Suit Comprcmised. The suit filed some time ago by Broker L. A.

Mr. Frohman has, on this occasion, arranged to bring all the original scenery and appointments of the different plays to this city; and with tbe well-known excellence of the company, even the early date of opening and the absence from home of so many of our regular theater patrons will hardly prevent the engagement being @ brilliant one..

After that performance her parents took her to the opera everytime she re. guested it, and she has missed few evenings since.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Sunday, Jugust M, 1899. SLOWLY BUT SURELY. WHEAT GRADUALLY SINKING IN PRICE AND NEARING LOW RitCORD POINT. Corn and Oats Comparatively Well Sus- tained—Condition of tihe Flour, Cotton and Hay Markets—items of Interest to the Merchant and Countryman. Wheat is 3@3lec lower than a week ago and the situation is justas bearish and its posi- tion just as heavy as when. it was a good deal higher. There is no letupto the movement to market. The farmers who last year threw away such a splendid opportunity to market their wheat when the price was in the 9s, and even above $1 in the accumulative centers, through heeding the injunction of the Farmers’ Alliance to hold their wheat, have this year gone tothe other extreme and are selling their crops as fast asthey can thresh them out. The resultis the largest movement of winter wheat ever known and an enormous accumulation inthe primary markets. The new spring wheat crop will shortly begin run- ning into second. hands, also,.as harvesting is progressing rapidl¥v, even as_ far as the extreme Northwest, and the rust with which this Northwestern wheat comes to market is well known. Where the de- mand is tocome from to relieve what just now looks very much like’a glut, isthe ques- tion. If foreign advices are to be belfeved it will not come fromthe other side; at least not in the near future. Extreme dullness and depression are the only charac- teristic of foreign markets, both in England and onthe continent. They have raised average crops, which on the Continent are now ready for market, they have excessive supplies of old wheat and flour on hand bought at prices far above present figures and a large amount coming to them, and their financial position 1s by no means solid. This country alone is sending abroad between 8,000,000 and 4,000,000 bu weekly, the low price of silver should wring out Indian wheat more freely and Russia can promise a con- siderable amount, according to the latest official crop reports, which are de- cidedly more favorable than preceding ad- vices. Affairsare in such bad shape that it would appear likely they are about at their worst and that any change must be for the better. Cables received yesterday from India report a serious drouth threatening and already damaging the spring-sown wheat of that tountry, andthis single item may turn the markets of the world, if this drouth continues. The surprisingly heavy exports from this country, mainly. too, from the At- lantic seaboard, are liableto exert a Dene- ficial influence, if they are maintained much longer atthe samerate, Itis stiJl claimed that these clearances are Nnearly all old business and tlie balance in the shape of consignments, but they also } mention that this wheat is leaving this coun- try never toreturn, and speculation cannot overlook that factiong. The home market is more heavily oversoia ata round 70c than it was when several cents higher. so one- sided has the situation been that to sell short appeared to be the one and only sure thing t» do, so heariy everyone has put out more or less. Selling short at pres- ent pricesis very much like going inona pair of deuces for a white chip in a game that has the sky for a limit—you are liable to be raised out of your boots. Yesterday saw the low point for the season, Aug. selling at T0lyc, Sept. at 705sc, and Dec. at 5c. The close had buyers at 703%4@%gc for Sept. and Tbix@ lac for Dec. - » = Millers had the cash wheat marketaboutall their own way last week and were abie toob- tain what they wanted at their own prices. There was scarcely any shipping demand and the carriers outside the elevator people were practically out of the mar- ket. The .sample market was par- ticularly duli and at times it was dificult for receivers to obtain any premium for them over the grade prices and the mill- ers were abie to obtain selections of good No. Band 4at prices that would indicate a good milling profit. The receipts for the week were 1,589,771 bu against 1,473,917 bu last week and 1,160,914 bu during the corresponding week last year. The stock yesterday, 3,738,- "00 bu, of which 1.955,600 bu was No. 2 red; an increase of 504,190 bu of all grades, and 201,300 bu No. 2red. Yesterday No. 2 red soid at 70@70isc: No. 3red at6i%ec and No.4 winter at 61%4@02c. ” * = Considering the almost demoralized condi- ion of Wheat, the firmness displayed by corn is astounding. There isa great deal of sentl- ment and superstition behind this strength, Believers in high-priced corn are numerous and stanch in their belief, basing their ideas upon their belief that a very short crop Is be- fore this country. Their opponents are tewer in number than usual, and ilve in terror of whip-saws that will lift them outfof any short corn they may have out. For their bellef is inastronge bull syndicate in Chicago that may takethe market and run away with it whenever they see fit. That Chicago does not urede new corn until some time in January, or even as far as _ into February, gives this alleged syndicate almost complete mastery of the situation, and the principal hope of the bears is that enough old corn is back in the country and yetto be marketed to drown the bulls, if they force the price too high. There are no signs of this oid corn moving just now, the movement to market continuing small and the country letting go slowly and spar- ingly when they let go at all. The base of crop damage has lately heen moved from kansas to illinois, aspell of dry weather in the latter State having &tarted the cry of drouth damage. Crop advices are fearfully and wonderfully mixed, the same. sections sending in both bad and govd reports. It all goes to show how very irregular this year’s crop is, as might be ex- pected from a crop that wentinto the ground so late and under such adverse circum- stances as didthe ‘92 crop. Since Aug. 1, however, the weather conditions have been more favorable than otherwise and there has been more chance for an improvement than a depreciation in condition ot the plant. The decline in wheat only {carried corn down to 47%c for Sept. and yesterday’s close saw buyers ut 48lec, which was ic below the pre- ceding saturday. Speculation has taken up the more Geferred options and there was some trading in year at 45'ecto 46c and May at 49c. both closing yesterday atthetop, But while the future market has been distin- guished by a show of strength, the cash article has been droopy and declined 2@8c. Receipts were not much larger—202,730 bu for week, against 196,415 bu the week before—yet the stock has. increased 45,000 bu so far for week and is now 176,000 bu, of Which 71,000 bu is No. 2. The trouble wasa lack of demand. Exporters pulled out and even resold some, but ‘few shipping orders came inand local wants were light. Yesterday No. 2 sold at at 474 @47iec, No. 3 at 444 @45e—outside of both Kast side—and No. 3 white at 474ec. No, 2 white was salable at 48lec, * a ~ . The new crop of oats is not coming forward as it usuaily does at this time of the year and all the information from the flelds bears out the earlier statements thata very short and paor crop Was raised this year. This natur- aily keeps alive bullish sentiment and holds the marketupin value. Sept. did sell last week at 31%c and May at 85/9c, of yesterday was at 325ec for Sept. and 86c for i d these rates well upto the preceding ~ ops her of interest Saturday’sclose. A local feature has been something likea squeeze in Aug., which one concern here was short about 7%,- 000 bu without the No. 2 on fill it. ‘the shorts have d making they expect to receive from the country ship- -whom they have the Aug. sold.

Receipts 280 bu, exceeding week bejore by 30, - the views of buyers, both in this country and a 4. The demand has been more general and indications point to an increased busi- ness in the near future, as the ruling prices, which, by the way, are the lowest on phe rane f are attracting widespread attention and wil no doubt soon lead to freer buying, both for consumptive and speculative account. An improved demand is noted from New England os ts, the unsettled and low lake and rail r eight rates enabling our millers to success- ee compete with the spring wheat flour millers of the Northwest. Trade to the South continues quiet, and not much of an improvement is looked for from that direction. Business for export was fair, both to British as wellas Continental ports. Heavy bookings to Eng- lish ports are reported from Kansas. Ship- ments during the week show a respectable increase, amounting to 58,537 bbis, as com- _— to 47,900 bbls the week before and 52,428 or the corresponding week ayearago. The receipts were 27,922 bbis, against 26,290 the revious week. Quotations are as follows: atents, $3.65@3.75; extra fancy, $3.35@3.45; fancy, $3@3.20; choice, $2.40@2.50; family $2.20@2.30. The mills are all running on go time and are turning out close up to their full Capacity. The output was as follows: Last Week 200 1,500 19,000 There has been some improvement in the general condition of the cotton market, yet it was a difficult matter to maintain any ad- vance in prices. The controiling influence was the light movement of the new crop, the receipts being only 20 per cent of the amount marketed by thistime a year ago, which Is rather significant, as it has been generally thought that the early movement would be heavy and that cotton would be pressed for sale no matter what the Size of the crop would be. The low price of Silver, the depressed condition of the cotton goods market in Manchester, and the heavy Stocks to be carried over to next season tend to depress the market and prevent any ma- terial advance. Crop reports were not of the best, but the influence of crop news was Msignificant. There has been too much rain in some sections, particularly in Mississippi, where the plant has grown to weed, and will yield little fruit. In other sections the crop has been benefited by needful rains, but more or less damage is reported by boll worms, rustand bligiut. The trade situation at Manchester shows no improvement. The cloths mills are partially stopping, and sellers who need business have difficulty in finding purchasers attue lowest point, while stocks Of yarns are accumulating. Ata meeting of the Lancashire cotton spinners it was said that the present condition of affairs menaced a collapse of the cotton-spinning business, as manu- facturers have been heavy losers by the fluc- tuations in the price of silver and by the demoralized state of Kastern exchange. The condition of trade affairs in this country, however, is very satisfactory. ‘he general tone of the cotton goods market continues firm, with business progressing in good shape and the outlook promising, if railroad strikes do not extend so as tochecx ship- ments. Some lines of staple goods Lave ad- vanced. The published returns from the mills in the Fall River district for the past quarter show thatthey are now enjoying the most prosperous season ever known in cotton man- ufacturing in Fall River. Thirty-one cor- porations, representing forty-six mills, have paid dividends of $538,880 on acaplital of $18,123,000. ‘Ihe total dividends paid for the corresponding quarter of iast year amounted to 233,250. In addition, the milis haye ad@ed as much more to their surplus reserve funds and most of the milis have unburdened themselves. of debts and interest accounts, and have made extensive alterations and addi- tions. The demand for goods has not only absorbed the accumulated surplus of one month ago, but ts beyond the present ability of the milis to take care of!t. Contracts are now made that will extend into Oct., 1893. The average mill which was paying 2 per cent quarterly, is now ylelding 7 per cent upon the selling price of its shares. The local cotton market was featureless, the only sign of life being the sales of 1,426 bales on Thurs- day. Sales during the week were 1,646 bales, and quotations have undergone no change. * * . The high prices lately obtained for old timothy nay has caused the dealers in the interior to rake up all the stock available andrush it forward. New also bas been ar- riving freely. The receipts for the past week amounted to 2,457tons. For shipment the demand has been Hght, only 176 tons being shipped, As the heavy daily receipts were in excess of the local wants, to which trade receivers have had to 100k to place their offerings, a gradual accumula- tion in stock has resulted. Buyers, being as quick as sellers to note this fact, have taken advantage of the situation, and demanded conncessions, which receivers have been compelled to meet in order to make Sales; hence the range of prices obtained were fully 5Oca@$t per ton lower than a week ago. New timothy was arrivingin fair quantities. Owing tothe wet weatlier in the early spring most of the new hasasprinkling mixture of clover or water-grass, either of which depreciates the value, and materially militatesagainst sales. Straight graues without any mixture, how- ever, met a moderately good market at fair prices. Muostof the large receivers are in- clined to the opinion that all kinds of timothy are on the brink of a sharp decline which can only be averted by a good ship- ping demand, but there is nothing in sight of this kind at the presenttime. Receipts of prairie have fallen off considerably. Still there was enough arriving daily to prevent any advance in price, Itisclaimed that ILit- tle change can be looked for until the Aug. contracts made by the interlor dealers with the producers are marketed, and that present low prices will prevail. Butitis the general opinion that with the lessening of receipts which will follow the first of the month sharp advances and a good steady demand may be looked for. Chat From ’ Change. Some one wisely said the other day, ‘‘Last year it was ‘Hold your wheat.’ This year it is, ‘Let her go, Gallagher.’ ’’ + 2 An apt remark was that of Frank Ryan when he said, ‘‘Theonly thing bearish in corn and bullish in wheat is the price.’’ * * * Que yearagothe average priceof English home-grown wheat was $1.20% per bu and now itis 8slec, adecline of 82l4c. With the same comparison, No. 2 red inthis market at 70c is 26%c lower. > = > A Kansas shipper, who was on the floor yesterday, Stated that he was buying No. 2 wheat from the farmers in his section at 50c. On the other band Central IilMnois millers are reported to be paying 70c for No. 2 red direct to farmers. Since the new rule went into effect that al- lows judges of election $2.50 compensation besides their Ginner, there is considerable rivairy for the position now when a vote comes up on ‘Change. Tobe paid $2.50 be- sides getting away with a dinner that sur- prises some of their 10c to 25c lunch stomachs is ‘‘nuts’’ for many of the members. ; With these enormous receipts of wheat and the anti-option law in effect, where would wheat be selling now? The principal de- mand that has taken care of the arrivals since the hew crop began moving has been speculative and the price of cash No, 2 red hassunk to ‘lc. Without that speculative demand and receivers having to depend upon milling and exporting requirements, it it would probably be 10c more below the above low price. * 7 **My wife knows a good thing when it,’’ says @ man on ’Change. E By ~ Boag gem peacemaker I made a trade for her one day when I had what I considered a sure thing When I informed her of it in the evening and the $50 profit that was still growing, she said that was enough and would not be convinced that there would be more in it to-morrow or that the trade could not be closed at that late hour. I handed her the $50 and had to pay $100 loss to get Out of it the next day, . It is suggested that the Merchants’ Ex. change send on to Liverpool for samples of the different’ grades of wheat sold in that market. The only Cost to the Exchange would be the express charges on the sam- ples and the exhibition of this wheat on Change would undoubtedly be received with interest, besides giving the trade some idea | of the quali “i a4 a a Aas to compete with abroad. Liverpool handles the wheat of all countries and there should be no difficulty in obtaining samples of them, é » * - = The large receipts of wheat this month can- not be considered as altogether legitimate. The railroads have been blockaded and taxed to their utmost capacity for cars, and a large part of the wheat that was attracted to this market by the prices, relatively higher than other markets in July, is still arriving, and same of it is still on the way. It is reasonable to suppose that there will be a marked decrease in the arrivals from now on. The farmers’ deliveries must necessarily be smaller, ’as they will be busy with the fall ploughing. a = * , A Trader: *‘Did you know that the color of the paper upon which their ‘items are written is representative of the class of news furnished by the different private wires?

Thecrop of the United Kingdom in- dicates that the requirements theré will be 3,250,000 per week. In France the require- ments will be 1,250,000 bu per week, making the total of 4,500,000 for the two countries. The needs outside of these two countries are indefinite, but will amount to considerable, probably 1,000,000 a week if not 1,250,000, mak- ing a total of 5,500,000 to 6,000,000 to be shipped. The United States has 3,000,000 a week, Southwestern Europe 500,000 a week, Australiasia and South America 500,000 a week, leaving 1,500,000 to 2,000,000 bu per week to be supplied by Russia, India and the minor exporting countries.—[New York Mail and Express. The Vienna Grain Congress meets on April 29 and 30 and will make a report on the wheat crop of the world.

The lowest price for No. 2 rea wheat in St. Louls since it became one of the speculative markets was on Aug. 6, 1887, when it sold at 675ec. Onthat day, No. 3 sold at 644%c, No. 4 at 60c and rejected atSé2c. This depression was caused by the undue accumulation of wheat in Chicago during the ‘‘Harper’’ deal, when the stock of wheat there reached about 14,000,000 bu, and the stock in St. Louls was 3,788,000 bu, the tota! visible supply being 38.691,000 and the amount on passage to the United Kingdom and «ontinent 19,800,000 bu, onanavailable supply of 53,491,000 bu. The crop of wheat that year was 456,000,000 bu. There was subsequently that year about 10c per bu improvemenc in prices from the low point, and the stock was reduced about one-half by Jan. 1 that year. The above figures, as far as the Chicago stock was concerned, did not include grain on track, which receivers were unable to get unloaded and was declared regular by the Board of Trade directors during the at- tempted ‘‘Harper’’ corner. The reduction of about 7,000,000 bu in the stocks and the consequent advance of 10c per bu in prices during the balance ofthe year, shows that the low prices stimulated consumption. ) It is probably not generally Known even to those in the trade that present prices of flour are the lowest ever recorded in this market under a normal condition of trade affairs. It istrue that the price of wheat has been lower thanat present, but flour values did not godownto the low point that it can be bought for now, and shows that the price of flour is altogether out of Ilne and that millers are working on close margins. With No. 2 wheat at 70c the extra fancy grade of flour is now selling at $4.35 and $4.40, while on Aug. 6, 1887, on which day No. 2 wheat touched the lowest point ever reached in this market, the same grade of flour was selling at $3.50 to $%.65 per bbl. This is a rather curious state of affairs, which, how- ever, can be accounted for to some extent by the introduction of improved machinery, which enables millers to turnout a larger percentage of patent flour, thus enabling them to sell extra fancy somewhat cheaper. They also geta better price for their offal. But nevertheless the difference in prices is out of proportion. The following table compiled .from the of- ficial report of the Chief of the Bureau of Sta- tistics ofthe Treasury Department exhibits the exports of flour and wheat from the United States during the twelve months ended June 30, 1892, conmtpared with the cor- responding period in 1890-91, and the coun- tries receiving the same: WHEAT.

They took Ryan and Graves out. blue-fishing, andinorder totest their sea-going qualities they seiected a windy day, first filling themup witha fine, large, substantial dinner. Mr. Kauffman and Mr. Carter had their sea legsand stomach and were all right in their own minds, and they thought they might derive a little atguse- ment in observing their friends commuhing with the vasty deep.

John Kauffman kept aciose watch upon his visitors and every now and then would break out with, ‘‘Look out Tom, its coming!’’ It did come, but unfortunately not from the landsmen. + That biuff old sea dog, Tom Carter, had allowed his penchant for ice cream to master him while at dinner and had stowed away quite a cargo before he started. | After a few tossings around the ice cream began to'mix or sour or something or an- other and Mr. Carter retired within himself, his countenance gradually taking ona pale cast of thought. An occasional sickly smile would fillt wiidly across his face, followed by a look of agony that showed how awfully he was stirred to his inmost depths. Then just after one of Mr. Kauffman’s hilarious ‘*Here it comes, Tom!’’ a hollow rumbling was heard and Mr. Carter went to the deck. dee lengthy and of ty of the wheat this country has. p sea observations were interest to the fish—but in time he rallied sufficiently to come toa once ‘ rl on ee more. Then Oswald remarked: *‘I’m so fos. I left my flask of whis’’—and Mr. Care er witha groan of horror once more threw his head over the side, following it with everything else ne possessed, save his gare ments. It isto be hoped that no one will re- fer to this unfortunate affair when Mr. Carter returns to the grain’ pit. _ From the Street. The St. Louis Produce Exchange will be ready for business early next week. * + . The secretary of the National Commission Merchants’ League tis in receipt of a number of letters from the publishers of horticul- tural and agricultural papers, largely inithe South, requesting the names of the members of the league in each city. P. M. Kiely and wite were among the St. Louisans to depart for the East last evening. After visiting the grape growing sections of Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York, where Mr. Kiely has large business interests, they will extend their trip through the Eastern States for pleasure, - = , A leading grape dealer at Cleveland, in re- gard to the vrape crop, writes under date of Aug. 16: *‘The crop of grapes is quite heavy and we will start in shipping about Sept. 1.’” The New York crop its also large and in- creased offerings will appear in both States, through the new vineyards, some of which will be bearing fruit for the first time. The profits to local operators in the hand- lingof apples during the past week were very large. Afew parties made a specialty of catching the farmers before they struck the city, especially on the East side, over the river,and tosuch the profits, as a rule, ranged from 75c to$1 per barrel. Prices a year ago forapples -were $1.25 to $1.50 per barrel, scarcely half the price of the average receipts for so mu time past. _ * A commission merchant: ‘‘Most lines of business, especially in the wholesale trade, announce on cards in their windows, that they will close Saturdays atlo’clock. The commission and produce business are whole- sale, and practically there are no sales after 3 o’clocKk Saturday afternoons, yet every house is open till6é, and somelater. This is allwrone. I would like to see the wholesale house that works harder, or as many hours aswe do during the week, and if we don’t close at 1 o’clock Saturday, we could very easily Go soat8or4o’clock. Even that much leisure, or time, we could call our own, wouid be better than none. It is possibly too late to bring about this needed reform for this season, but the matter should not be over- looked hereafter.’’ * . - Some idea of the amount of money sent to the melon grounds and shippers of Southeast Missouri can be formed from the statement of one dealer in here, that he has up to date sent upward of $20,000 tothat section. It Is true he was a leading operator, yet when it is considered that fifty-two firms had repre- sentatives on the ground, most of them for several weeks (sixteen of these firms from St. Louis, the remainder other leading markets) it will be seen that the money going into that section fromall points will in the aggregate be sufficientto make times easy in money matters for some time to come. It will evidently give an impetus to melon growing in Missouri, the industry never knew before. . - * A stranger arrived on Third street a few days agointhe shape ofa shipment of man- goes from Florida consigned to Gunn Fruit Co. This fruitis saidtobe highly esteemed where known, butthere are so many good things to eat nowadays that peuple are slow to venture into unbeaten paths. A small basket of mangoes was passed around for the inspection of dealers, and only three men were found who could name them correctly. Persimmon, paw. paw, guavas, etc., were suggested, anila few were so cautious that they were sure there wasa joke in it and maintained a wise look and oppressive si- lence. A circular from shippers reads: We grow the finest mangoes known, and ship them in six-basket carriers, baskets holding five quarts, or frum twenty to thirty mangoes each. The fruit, when ripe; is to be eaten from the hand, always paring and slicing from the stem end. After trying it you will become very fend of it, as it nas a delicious flavorand is the, healthiest fruit known. To eat it without solling the hands insert a one- tined fork in the seed at the stem end. ~ lt makes fine pies and sanee, resembling that of green apples when hard: also makes fime chutney, etc. e ss a Larry Owens, the well-known poultry and game speculator, Superintendent of Street Sprinkling, was inveigied into a fishing ex- pedition last week by a lot of City Hall poli- ticilans and a variety of fourth-rate states- men he will not readily forget. It was down to the Black Riverin Arkansas they guided his footsteps, telling him in advance it was the fisherman’s paradise. If he could have found his way out of the wilderness alone, he would, he says, have retraced bis steps soon after he struck the desolate banks ofthe Black River. He asserts it is a good place for a man who can subsist on horsefiles, mos- quitoes, dry leaves, an oppressive atmos- phere and warm whisky—a variety of luxu- ries he does not covet at home or abroad. The biggest fish, he declares, secured by any of the misguided sufferers did not exceed two pounds. He would, he declares, have given up his seersucker at any time while down there for a cool drink, and if he tis ever caught down there again insummer time he will certainly be insane. He never missed the comforts of home so badly in his ilfe. . - The general belief that Kansas City isa paradise for rogues and a favorite resort for crooked commission men has been frequently refuted in an interesting way by the Com- mercial Bulletin of that city. Ina late issue it called public attenfion to failures elsewhere —embracing a collapsed concern at Omaha which laid down heavily on a big Third street produce shipper in St. Louis, also another firm in Minneapolis which went under about the same time witha big list of victims. At the same time it exposed a shipping concern at Kansas City, but the fellow had the nerve to open up again the following week under a different name—which the Sulletin duly noticed. In the last issue of the paper it comes back at some of them in this fashion: ‘*'ibel suits are not very pleasant affairs, we admit. They take up a little of one’s time and give one too much cheap notoriety. But for the benefit of all interested parties we say that it is our intention toexpose every piece of crookedness tnatcomes under our observation, regardless of age, color, sex or previous condlition.’’ . ‘the Bulletin is engaged in good work and should be encouraged by shippers and com- mission merchants alike, as it aims to pro- tect both against the rascally class it is at war against.

Stocks are liberal everywhere, especially of ‘Texas and Territory growth, and while manufacturers are buying what supplies they need, they show no disposition to stock up, except when aninducementis offered eitherin price or excep- tional quality of the stock. The low price reached in fleece-washed wovools grown East of the Mississippi River has attracted attention of manufacturers, and they are giving more attention to these this season than to territory wools, which is a condition of affairs exactly the reverse of last year. The woo! remaining in growers’ hands is smaller thanusual, but the visible supply is much larger than at this time last year.

CHICAGO, Aug.20.—The business of the lead- ing markets on ’Change continued dull this morning. The conditions which depressed the grain markets yesterday were unchanged. The cables, the heavy movement, the brilliant weather and the railroad troubles in the East were all injurious to the markets. On early trading wheat went off tectothe lowest point of the year for Sept. at 754c. Corn again weakened and sold under 5zc for Sept. Pork opened firmer at $11.40, but broke below the low point of yesterday to $11,124 on Sept. contracts. RKeceipts for the day were: Wheat, i71 cars; corn, 285; oats, 329. Contract grain: Wheat 77 cars; corn, 148; oats, 75. Out inspections of grain: Wheat, 365,000 bu; corn, 3,000; oats, 26,000. On July 1%, unger a great deal of selling pressure from Pardridge and others, Sept. wheat touched 75l4ec. On a break of lec from opening figure this morning the Sept. price again touched 75t%c, rallied to 755ac, and sold back a second time to 75\4c before 12 0’clock. Dec. sold for some time at 78tec and then off tu 78%c. The early dip to 754c wasthe natural result of the bearish news of yesterday continued. Thesecond dip was the result of an estimate of 900 cars of wheat for this market on Monday. The bear news of the morning consisted of Liverpool cables 12d lower, Beerbohm cable quoting cargoes weaker, Drilllant weather every- where, heavy movement to all primary mar- kets, depressing effect of Buffalo strike and prospect of an increase of 3,000,000 bu in the visible supply Monday. The Chicago receipts were 671 cars forthe day. About the only items forthe bulls were a big export clear- ance from Atlantic ports for the day amount- ing to about 900,000 bu, Prime’s comment on the disappointing yield of early spring wheat sections and the with- drawal of _— 365,( bu from Chicago houses. There is decided timidity about put- ting out big short lines at low prices, andon the other hand buyers can see nothing buta low price to encourage operations. There was little independent action in the corn market for the short session. Ina gen- eral was the price was dragged down early by wheat and later it was rallied by a good up-turn inthe oats market. The receipts cut little figure, asthe decline occurred on lighter receipts—285. cars—and the recovery was atone time estimated at 400 cars for Monday. The strike still held the trade in fear, while dispatches reported corn in Buffalo elevators bought by parties confident of moving it out atonce. The Prime cropletter commented very jbullishly, saying many Illinois farmers could see nothing better th halt a crop and that half of the corn Belt is now suffering from dry weather. The market started steady. tept. openedat 524@52\c, went to51%@5lke and raliied to 52%4c, with close at 5zlc bid. Oct. sold at 52c, to 5i%c and up to 51%@52c before the close. May sold off to 56256@52%c and rallied to 53%c. <A_ fair, general business was transacted in oats, the market develop- ing a strong feeling from the start, closing firm at %c to %c higher.. There was some covering effected by shorts, especially on the Sept. option. Receipts, #29 cars, besides some 15,809 bu by canal. The estimated re- ceipts for Monday are 350 cars. Cattle—The small supply attracted but few buyers to-day and the usual quiet Saturday trade resulted. Less than one-third of the $3,500 head came to the native division, about 2,000 head of the Texas cattle were consigned direct slaughterers. Not more than a dozen loads of good to choice native steerscould be found among the receipts, and for these there was a ready sale at prices well up’ to the _ test of the week: A few choice shipping steers sold at $4.90@5.25, and there were scattering sales of common to fair dressed beef stock at $3.30@4.50. The local butchers cleared up the supply of cows and mixed stock at steady prices, sales ranging chiefly at $1.85@2.75. For the 500 head of Texans on sale there was a fair demand and steady prices prevailed. The week closed with the ens well cleared and the advance of the last half well sustained. Hogs—A stale stock of nearly 9,000 head was carried over from Friday, and fresh receipts swelled the totalto about 17,000 head. Less than half this stock was ofa desirable qual- ity, however, and although the orders were limited there was a ready outlet for grade material at full, strong prices. Commoner grades of packing hogs continued to drag under, but on account of the burden- 1 some supply of stale holdings prices were only a shade above the low point of this week. About 6,000 herd of .- low-grade stuff was again left unsold: when the market closed. To- day’s sales were on a’ basis of $5.80@5.90 for choice to fancy heavy shipping, $5.65@5.75 for good grade, light; $5.50@5.75 for fair mixed and packing, and $5@5.50 for inferior grades of ight and rough packing.

es St. Wonis Post-Dispatch, -— FINANCIAL REVIEW, Sugar and Cordage Lead the Advance in the Stock Market. THE RISE IN VALUES NOT ATTRIBUTA- BLE TO SPECULATION. 4 . Marked Strength Shown in the Railway Share List—Effect of Industrial Dis- turbances on the Market—Currency Moving to the West and South—Crep Prospects—Dealings in Wall Street. NEW YorK, Aug. 20.—The week closing to- day has been remarkable for the noticeable movement in the industrial group of stocks, which, under the lead of Sugar and Cordage, bave scored marked advances, and which have also engrossed the attention of Wall street almost to the exclusion of other shares, The movement cannot be culled in apy sense a sporadic one, as the same strength which developed so markedly this week has been conspicuous enough in a la- tent way for months. Since the listing ofthe industrial shares upon the f&tock Exchange they have been the favorite mediums for speculation, owing to their relatively small capitalization, their great earning power, and also tothe fact that they were Hsted at modest figures and have risen to their pres- ent position by a series of almost uninter- rupted jumps. The week’s movement In Cordage and Sugar has been without any especial new or favorable development to these properties. The Cordage company is understood to be in & most presperous condition, with a fine out- look for the future, while the movement in Sugar has been based ona revival of the re- ports of an increased rate of dividend. The next dividend is variously estimated at from 242 per cent to3 percent, payable quarterly instead of the 4 per cent semi-annual divi- dend, Therise in these stocks cannot be justly called speculative. When the public confidencein this form of investment be- comes more settled and the decay of litigious speculation more certain their relative worth, it can easily be seen, will be far above pres- ent figures. The gailway share list has also shown marked strength during the week,and when the adverse influences affecting stock Values are considered, the situationis even more noticeable. Disregarding the special influences affect- ing Manhattan we fing that in spite ofthe pessimistic crop talk and the most ominous rallway strike in fifteen years prices are at the worst only fractionally lower at the end of the week than on Monday and in many instances they are higher. The feeling is growing that although this year’s crop will not equal last year’s in volume thatthe railroads will yet have a plenty of freight to go around, and that also from the standpoint of general prosperty it may beas well that the phenomenalcrop of last year should not be equalled, ‘he disastrous effect of too greata crop is seen in the condition of the South, where a succession of huge cotton crops has financially prostrated that section. The stubborness of prices shown 1n the faccof the railway strikes hasa parallel in the con- dition of financial affairs tn 1877. Thenthe surplus Dank reserves were at about the same figures as at present. Inter- est rates were about the sameand the gen- eral tendency of prices identical. During the great strike at#Pittsburg at that time prices were well maintained. The first symp- toms of resulting distress were shown inan increase of interest to6 percent. After the strike was over the relaxation set in and there was a general decline in values which carried prices down to the low figures ante- cedent to the great boom in stocks which set inupon the resumption cf specie payments and which cuiminated in 1681. One of the most favorable points in the financial situ- ation is the generally prosperous outlook for the railways. The pending resumption of dividends by a great corporation like the St. Paul road cannot fail to have a beneficent influence. Aneventof this kind cannot be overrated in importance, as can b2 seen by observing the high prices at which those properties sell in whose management the public have confidence. With the possible exception of the North- ern Pacific company, which ts affected by the near completion of an almost parallel road, it would seem that the Western roads have allanera of prosperity before them. Con- trary to general expectation, the outgoing steamships to-day carry no gold. The ex- ports for the yeartodate footup $53,755,000, as against $74,766,000 last y« Then the shipments ceased on July 24, while this year they have continued past the middle of Au- gust. Financial conditions abroad and our very large imports account for the exports of gold, and while these exports have an un- doubted disturbing effect upon speculative Values, as long as our present financial strength may be maintained they should cause no deep alarm. For each dollar of gold exported this country gets full credit and it will receive its equivalent in kind or otherwise. The movement of currency to the West and South may be expected to pull down the sur- lus reserves of the banks to some extent hough asall the Western banking centers are reported as well supplied with money the movement will probably be unusuvaily small. The iocal banks are in good position to stand the tension, and indeed will welcome itas they have been loaning money for months at rates which have affected their earning power. A slight symptom of the Western movement of currency was scen yesterday in a temporary rise of call money at 3 per cent. On the opening of the Stock Exchange this morningthere were a few forces of a favorable character at work and the effect of these was displayed in a generally firm tone and price ut still no pronounced improvement took place and speculation for the most part was with- out vim. The matters in question includeda better feeling Inthe markets for sliver as shown in an advance in prices all around and reports that the Mnes which have been affected by the striking swWitchmen were moving trains more freely. The situa- tion in regard to the Jabor troubles at Buffalo, however, still served to retard deal- ings and most operators again evinced a dis- sition to curtail operations pending the ultimate outcome ofthe strike. he rally at the outset likewise received some assistance from London, that center having cabled higher prices for Americans as well as pur- chasing orders in Atchison, Erle, Ontario & Western, Unton Pactfic, St. Paul and Louis- ville & Nashville. The foreign operations, however, were limited on saturday, but still there were sufficient to show the trend of sentiment on the other side. As the moments passed a weaker feeling set in, andthere was some disposftion to sell stock on rumors from lhuffalo that the fire- men and conductors were likely to go out to- night, but the chiefs of both orders said that no strike was probable unless the men were ordered to do switchmen’s duty. After this Reading soon loomed into prominence as a disturbing element, and recorded a net decline for the day of was a heavy pressure to stock, chiefly on rumors of an adverse decision in regard to the Jersey Central lease and reports of a forthcoming unfavor- able statement, although the strike business continued to have an influence. ‘Ihe sales of listed stocks for the two_}ours were 81,000 shares, including 50,600 ding, 4,200 St. Paul, 8,325 Aichison 2,500 New Hngland, 1,842 seneral Electric, 1,200 Erie and 1,100 Western nion. From tne above statement of the transactions it witl be seen that the great of the business in listed properties was in Reading and that there was really very little to the balance of the railway market, While the average run of promises railway shares exhibited very little animation, some of the industrials were freely dealt in and re- corded important variations, Further advance in the price of refined re and 1J6c on low efining at firsc and tie down one up about lec.

The Post’s financial article says: ‘‘Apath and indifference marked the ‘stock market to-day. Several of the prominent hull operators,through whose efforts activity has been maintained throughout the week, took their usual Saturday holiday. The market, deprived of leadership and Stimulus, sagged. Besides, on account of the labor tronbles, an unusual number of dealers closed out their trans- actions yesterday. While the market opened fairly strong and steady, it soon weakened and showed considerable irregularity. The bulk of the trading was again in the industrials, the transactions in railway shares being compar- paratively insignificant.

The accumulation of the stock of wheat in St. Louis elevators has caused a sharp de- mand for money from the grain-houses, and the banks doing business with this class of customers report a good demand for loans on that class of collaterals. Otherwise, business at the banks has been very quiet curing the past week, but rates are firmand itis difficalt to obtain de mand loans under 6 per cent. The bank clearings yesterday were $3,334,342; for the week $22,208,407 against $24,383,663 the pre- vious week and $23,963,106 the corresponding week last year.

Ask a. of CHOLERA SCOURGE. ee PATHETIC INCIDENTS DURING ITS RAV- AGES IN INDIA. Written for the SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH. Since Asiatic cholera first made its appear- ance inthe Province of Bengal, some time about 1774, it has been endemic in India— sometimes epidemic, but always sporadic. On the general principle that familiarity breeds contempt, the nativesdo not think much of a solitary case or two. They are content witha Httle extra tom-tomming in the temples, alittle more doing of poojah (worship) before the red-painted fetich in the village, andafew more pice distributed among the priests. When, however, the dreaded malady commences like an insignifi- cant spark and suddenly blazes into the cimensions or a conflagration, destroying human life in its path as a reaper mows down grain in the harvest field, the people abandon their stoical apathy and fly to the mountains, the jungles, anywhere, in pantc-stricken efforts to get out of the reach of the scourge. Itis incrises such as these that the courage of the British officials who rule India is put to a crucialtest. Inthe mofussil, as districts lying apart from large cities are called, the civil Servant, whether he be collector, assistant collector, or mag- istrate, dare not leave his district without obtaining the consent of his superior in the Government Department towhichhe hap- pens to be attached, As in the military service there is set up a high standard of honor, 50 there is also ip the’ Indian civil service,and a competition-wallah who wouid run away from his district in the faceofa cholera epidemic would be regarded by his brethren in the service much in the same light as a soldier would be looked upon by his companions if he deserted his post in terror of the enemy. MA-BAP, Although the natives of Hindostan, deep down in their hearts, hate their English rulers, yet they hold them in respect, if not the awethat is commanded bya conscious- ness Of superior physical, mental and politi- cal strength. In times of great disaster, such as famine or a cholera epidemic, they feel their own helplessness poignantly and turn their eyes to ‘‘the Sahib*’ for succor. They may lay extra heaps of fragrant fruits and flowers upon the lingam stone, they may ringthe bells in the temple all day longand call vehemently upon their gods, Lut when it comes down to prac- tical business they look to the Sirkar (mean- ing ina general way the Government, wheth- er local or supreme) for relief. The official representative ofthe Sirkar they call ‘‘Ma- bap,’* father and mother, and the ‘‘Ma- bap’’ is expected todo everything for them, even tothe working of miracles. ‘‘Youare a soor-Ka-butcha (sonof a pig), you are gudda@ (an ass’’), exclaims the Sahib to his native sgubordinate, with. unconscious irony, folds his and says reverently, hbap.’’ ‘lhesahibis my father and mother. **You say you have no money, no food, no grainandno cattle. What, then, foryou? It’s the will of God.’’ ment civilian repliesto the suppliant ryot. **‘Sahib hamara ma-bap.’’ The poor Hindoo answers meekly, as he makes a deep salaam. Always the same—‘‘hamara ma-bap’’—are utterances of hopeless helplessness, of resig- nation without ambition, which itis almost impossible to properly express outside of its own vernacular idiow. The responsibility for the welfare native which is thus tacitly placed upon the who, tacitly accepted by him, makesit more and more a matter of honor with bis post and do his duty when danger is ahead or death is actually stalking through the land. He feels it is his business to try to calm the popular agitation, toallay panic by an appearance of coolness and resource, and to mitigate the ferocity of the common enemy by such means and appliances as lie within his power. Inthis line of duty he ts admirably supported not only by the local Presidency Governments but by the Central Government of India. As regards the pre- vention offamines and the amelioration of the causes which are to lead to epidemics disease, Government of India has much extraordinary and work. Atavast expense it roads and constructed the done of has bullt rail- irrigation canals in districts which were arid and remote from | centers of civilization; it has appointeda magnificent corps of sanitary engineers and inedical men, whose duty tive customs, whether at religious festivals orf in villages or cities, are not permitted to outrage ordinary a severe epidemic of cholera breaks out,such as is now pian and through Russia threatening the of In- | gated or disinfected.

In 1817 cholera burst out in Lower Bengal, whence It leisurely but surely traveled westward by way of the Persian Gulf, the Tigris and Euphrates, Persia, Kur- distan and Asia Minor, now languishing and apparently disappearing, and now re- appearing at some advancea point with redoubled Virulence, until at last it entered Russia and Ger- many in 1830 and in ashorttime destroyed nearly a milliicn lives. Onthe present occa- sion, although India has been called the cradle and perpetual home of cholera, the epidemic which is threatening to overun Kurope and is Deing closely watched on this side of the Atlantic, sprung up neither ia Bengal, Madras, nor Bombay, but in some vile unsanitary Persian or transcaspian vil- lage, and is finding congenlal hunting grounds of deathin the Russian valleys of the Volga and the rivers that drain into the Black Sea, The sense of honor which compels an Anglo- Indian official to stick to his postin the face of grave danger has on many occasions led to fates not quite so picturesque as the blowing up ofa Cashmere gate under the murderous fire of thousands of Sepoys clustered along the formidable walls of Dehli, but as full, at least, of moral courage.

Ihave often thought something like this when Iremember the case of young Ander. son, of the Bengal Civil Service. He wasa ruddy, cheery, lusty young Englishman, whose father had beena Colonel during the Sikh wars, and was desperately wounded at the terrible passage of the Sutiej. He was enthusiastic about everything—pig sticking, tiger hunting, black buck shooting, whist, or playing lawn tennis with the cantonment dowager and her daughters, nieces and proteges. Although he had passed high in the civil service examinations— thanks to the acumen of a pecullarly successful ‘‘crammer’’ at Oxford—he had none of the staid manners of a «tudent about him, but, on the contrary, he wasa jovial kind of tomboy. He was sent as deputy collector to a dismal place called Gurrum- pore in Central India, @ very notand very unhealthy station, He was miles away from the bungalow of any white man and he felt so lonely that at times even a brief conversa- tion with his pigeon-Knglish Baboo clerk made him feelriotously happy. However, he performed his routine duties wish regu- larity and to the best of his ability. sometimes he would take a ride of twenty or thirty miles to visit some | English contractors who were bullding 'a bridge acrossa swift-flowing branch of the Nerbudda; sometimes he would find pleasur- able excitement in extending the hospitality of his bungalow to some officer on the way to join his regiment. He studied Hindostanee bard with his moorishee and read the most | intricate cases of Hindoo law. Occasionally heavent in for a little shiparandshot a biack buck or two. On the whole the gay young fellow fe!t life dull at Gurrumpore. One day the Baboo clerk came into the little office with a serious face. ‘‘Sahib,’’ he said, ‘*) afraid cholera, he come;one man he die last night.’’ Shortly afterwards the head man of the village slipped off his slippers at the doorandentered Mr. Anderson’s pres- ence witha profound salaam. ‘‘Sahib,’’ he _gaid **Teen, chahar admi boput bemaree hai doh mergbal’’—three, four men are very sick andtwo have died. It suddenly occurred 'to Anderson that cholera had swooped down upon Gurrumpore. He remembered how he had once = noticed the tank at the base of the Mahadeo temple in the village and wondered thatit didnot breed a pesti- | lence, for while it was covered witha thick, | green vegetable scum, the natives were bathing In ft, drinkingit, and allowing it to become a receptacie for a thousand abomi- nations. His attention was concentrated upon the factthat cholera had stricken his district by a group of walling mourners who passed his house with a corpse on their way to the burning ghat. A RAGING EPIDEMIC. After dispatching a message for immediate medical assistance to the nearest military cantonment, about fifty miles away, he rode down into the village. Therea horrible sight awaited him. Giving way to ae reckless frenzy, the villagers were going about drunk with arrack and fermented toddy. Followed by one faithful Sepoy attenuant he rode through the bazaar and gave orders peremptoriiy that the sale of the maddening | liquors should be stopped. One Parsee ras- cal whom he caught disobeying his orders he | struck acrossthe bare back with his riding whip. It wasin vain that he tried to make | the people keepcalm. They shouted that it was their nusseeb, their Kismet, their fate, and they did not care what befel them. Drink they wanted, and arrack they would have. Men, women and children fell in the center of the roadway, some howling drunk, some in the last horrible throes of cholera. With their eyes fixed glazedly upon the temple of Mahadeo, men lay by the side of the noisome tank and died, some in struggles rolling down the steps and break- ing through the green scum with a splash. Au day long, under the heat of the burning sun, Anderson rode among the people tryin to allay theirterror. He told them he ha medicine forthem in hig bungalow—for he kept asmal!l medicine chest, thoughin such an emergency as this he did not know what use to make of it—but they either scowled or laughed at him. When he reached his bungalow, tired, worn out and. disheart- ened, he called for his Baboo clerk, but that worthy had fied. Then he called for a _ servant, but they all had fied. His Sepoy attendant, some time before midnight, entered the verandah, salaamed and reported that everybody in Gurrumpore who was not dead had aban- doned the village. Anderson asked the Sepoy to bring him a brandy and soda and then sat down to write outa report to his official su- pemor. He had not finished his report when @ became conscious of a peculiar feeling.

New York, Aug. 20.—On the 19thof next October the Catholic Archbishops of the United States will meet in New York to dis- cuss questions relating to the advancement of the Catholic Church in this country. A Ietter to the Archbishops from Cardinal Ledochowski directs them to confer with their suffragan bishops on these questions. . The chief business of the reunion Is to decide on a means of supplying the religious needs of Catholic children who @o not attend the parochial schools. Cardinal Gibbons, by virtuaof being the head of the oldest diocese in the country, Baltimore, will preside at the reunion. Cardidal Gibbons will write to the arch bishops telling them the Loom they are to discuss, Theneach Archbishop will con- fer with the bishops of his province, When he comes to the reunion he will have not only hisown opinion to express, but those of the bishops, In this way the heads of dioceses in all parts of the country will have something to say. There may be only one subject dis- cussed—the one relating to the religious in- struction of Catholic children ontside the parochial schools—but it Is probable that there will be a conference on other important topics, Thereunion may last only oae day and it may continue for several days. It will alldepend on the subjects to be considered. Probably some of the archbishops will remain in the wity a week or so, as the Columbus cel- ebration ts to be held at that time. It is belleved that tne Archbishops will talk over Archbishop Ireland’s Faribault-Still- water plan of education, which the Pone re- cently tolerated, and discussion of which in this country showed that the Catholic hier- archy was divided on it, Several of the Arch- bishops who will be at the reunion opposed Archbishop Ireland’s scheme. In the height of the discussion the decision ‘‘tolerari potest’’ was announced, and the Pronpa- ganda asked phe Archbishops and Bishops to discontinue the strife. It is said that if the Faribault scheme is brought up at all the ais- cussion of it will be of a friendly nature. Archbishop Ireland will be'present, and it Is likely that he may make some explanations that will clear upcertain points on which the discussion was liveliest.

C., a ‘‘caveat’’ protecting her in* terest ina peculiar patent for which she applied. The patent in question is in ed to cover the process of making ‘‘sweet po- tato fiour,’’ or as it is technically termed in Patent Office phraseology, ‘‘dessicated food product,’’ and the idea of thus utilizing the | sweet potato is, Mrs. Strauss claims, entirely original with herself. The processes so far developed are those of. peeling the potato and kiln-drying the peel so that it keep for any length of timeas a food for live stock ; of drying and grinding the sweet potato into three distinct grades of flour, and also of slicingand drying in the form of ‘*sweet so etn Saratoga chips.”’’ All these different rms of the dessicated product, Mrs. Strauss claims, will owing to their. being thoroughly kiln-dried, keep, for years in any climate, and _ the ousewlfely inventor of the process believesithat sie has made possible a new and great food product. The three grades of ‘‘sweet{potato flour’’ em- braced by the process‘are shown in samples carried by Mrs. Strauss. The first is very fine-ground, sweet to the taste, and in ap- earance much like high grade wheat flour. irs. Strauss says she has already tested its bread-making merits, and that with che necessary addition of yeast it makes a light, white and very palatable and nutritious bread. The second grade is somewhat coarser ground, and is intended for **children’s food,’’ with milk. The third grade is very coarse, almost in flakes, and Mrs. Strauss says that it makes excellent cakes, ‘‘sweet potato balls,’’ etc. The dried *“‘sweet potato Saratoga chips’’ are exactly like their toothsome prototypes, the Irish potato Saratoga chips, in ~ appearance. ‘‘They are exactly the same,’’ says Mrs. &trauss, ‘‘except that when you cook the Irish potato chips you then sprinkle salt over them, while with the sweet potato chips you use sugar instead.’’ : Mrs. Strauss,fin talking about her invention or discovery, explains that it was suggeste to her by the trouble which she, in common with thousands of housewives, has had in **keeping’’ sweet potatoes, She states that she experimented with the processes de- scribed above for some time, and is fully convinced that this method means a revolu- tion in the future handling of the sweet po- tato crops of California and the South. It opens up a new field for one of the most nu- tritious products of nature, and the inventor of the ‘‘sweet tato food process’’ claims that the day will come when ‘‘sweet potato fiour’’ will be one of the staple supplies of the world, PATENTS AND ‘TRADE-MARKS, Issued to Southwestern Inventors During the Past Week.

Woodward Elected President of the United Typothets of America. At the annual convention of the United Typothet# of America, held last week in Toronto, Canada, Mr. W. H. Woodward, President and Treasurer of the Woodward & Tiernan Printing Co, of St. Louis, was unan- imously elected President, The organiza- tion is an association of the leading printers, stationers, paper-dealers and men in kin- dred branches 1n the United States and Can- ada. Mr. Woodward isan excellent example of what a poor boy can accomplish tn this coun- try. At the age of 5 years he arrived in Amer- ica from England. He startedinlife at the bottom round of the ladder, servinga three- . years’ apprenticeship asa printer inthe of- fice of Atwood & Buck, publishers of the Wisconsin Statesman at Madison in 1849. The old Washington hand press then occupied the highest position in the press builder’s art and with these facilities a career was commenced the record of which has been equalled by few. In 1852 his family removed to st. Louls, where he entered the employ of Chambers & Knapp, then proprietors of the Missouri Re- a, at that time the leading paper of the Vest. He commenced as apprentice in the job department and occupied the position of *tcub’’, journeyman and foreman respec- tiveiy during a thirteen years’ connection ~ . Brean: > ee . eee W. H.

Endowed with an even temperament and happy disposition, Mr. Woodward has solved the problem of always looking on the bright gide of things. Few men in the West enjoy the 4 will and confidence of their fellow-men hn a more eminent degree and number among their acquaintances a larger circle of rep- resentative men than Nr, Woodward. s devotion to business has interposed between him and public Office, although he was aa Alderman in 1876, and was Grane Master of the 1. 0.0.

L WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 20.—The Presi- dent has proclaimed retaliation against Canada in accordance with the authority conferred upon him by ‘‘theactto enforce reciprocal relations with Canada,’’ passed last July. His proclamation is dated Aug. 18, but wasonly issued to-day after a final conference between Secretary Foster and Mr. Michael Herbert, the charge d’affaires of the British Legation here, which took place this morning. The Canadian Govern- ment has asked delay pending the absence of Ministers from Ottawa and other reasons, An answer was promised by Lord Stanley, Governor.General of Canada, by Monday, Aug. 8. On the 4th inst. Mr. Herbert tele- graphed from Newportto Secretary Foster in Washington: ‘*‘I have received assurance of further consideration. May I consequent- ly venture to hope that no steps may be taken in the meantime?’’ Secretary Foster replied: ‘‘Gratified at yourtelegram. You may count upon rea- sonable time, such as indicatelin our inter- view.’’ On Aug. 15 the United States Consul General at Ottawa informed Secretary Foster that the decision of the Canadian Ministry was ‘‘to continue the rebate on Canadian canals from now until the endof the season of naviga- tion.’’ Thereupon the proclamation of retaliation was drawn up and sent to Loon Lake for the President’s action. On the day it was signed, Aug. 18, Secretary Foster telegraphed Mr. Herbert: ‘‘When may I expect you here, or not on canal tolls?’’ Mr. Herbert replied on the same day: **‘Have telegraphed to inquire what day I may expect communication.’’ Next day Secretary Foster sent the following signifi- cant dispatch: DEPARTMENT OF STATE, WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 19, 1892. Hon. Michacl H. Herbert, British Charge, New- port, &. I.; 2 The United States Consul-General at Ottawa re- ports the decision of Councii was to abolish rebate at end ofthis seasoh. Thisis confirmed by Canadian press reports. If Canadian discriminations are to continue during this season, cempliance with recent act of Congress requires the President to establish tolls to run concurrently. Discussion as to futare action can then proceed under parity of conditions. JOuUN W. FOSTER. Mr. Herbert hastened to Washington, tele- graphing in advance to Mr. Foster: ‘*Could 1 see you to-morrow early at the Department? Kindly reply on receipt of this in order to enable me to catch train.’’ Mr. Fosteranswered: ‘*‘You can see me any hour in the morning between 8 and 11.’’ Mr. Herbert came and saw Mr. Foster this morning. The memorandum of that inter- view is as foilows: Mr, Herbert, charge of the British Lega- tion, called on the Secretary of State Satur- day, Aug. 10, and informed the Secretary that he had not yet received information of the official action of the Canadian Cabinet on the subject of canal tolls, but he hoped to be able to communicate it early next weeek. Mr. Foster said thatthe United States Con- sul General at Ottawa had communicated that the action ofthe Cabinet was to abolish the tollf atthe end of the season, and this report had been confirmed by the ministerial press of Canada. Hethen asked Mr. Herbert if this conformed to his information on the subject. Mr. Herbert answered that he was notas yet authorized to make any official communication on the subject, but he had no doubt the Consul General’s report was cor- rect. The . Secretary of State then said that such a resolution of the question would not be regarded as satisfactory to his government;anc tn an- swertoan inquiry he stated thatthe Presi dent considered it his duty to issue the proc- lamation contemplated by the act of Congress. But he gave Mr. Herbert the assurance that should the Canadian Government give notice of its decision to abolish the discriminations now complained of, the proclamation would be suspended concurrently with such aboll- tion. The President’s proclamation, after reciting the text of the act of Congress under which it is issued, concludes as follows: Whereas. The Government of the Dominion of Canada imposes a toi] amounting to about 20 cents per ton on all freight passing through the Weiland Canal in transittoa port of the United States, and also a further toll on all vesseis of the United States and all passengers in transit to a portof the United States, ali of which tolls are without rebate; and, Whereas, The Goverment of Canada,in accordance withan act of Aprilé, 1892, refunds 18 cents per ton of the 20 cents toliat Welland Canal, on wheat, Indian corn, bariey, oats, rye, flax seed and buck- wheat, upon condition that they are originally shipped for and carried to Montreal, or some other port east of Montreal, for export, and that, if trans- shipped atan intermediate point, such trans-ship- ment is made within the Dominion of Canada, but allows no such nor any other rebate on said prod- ucts, when shipped toa port of the United States, or when carried to Montreal for export, if trans- shipped within the United States: anpeaker’s staud andon the floor of the Legisiature ied the debate in favor of changing the name of st.John County to Logan County; he deciared the whole tarifl system a robbery and ihen produced a copy of the »cKinley tariff billiand read a listof common com- moudities and the duty placed on each by tue bill.

ILLINOIS CAMPAIGN. eg —apae REPUBLICANS MAKING A HOPELESS DEFENSIVE FIGHT. SPRINGFIELD, Ill., Aug. 20.—Notwithstand- ing all the furore and advertising about the great demonstration that would be heid here on Thursday last for the reception of White- law Reid, Republican candidate for Vice- President, it was afterall a somewhat com- monplace affair. In the afternoon, contrary to expectation, but few people presented themselves. The evening was joyous and hilarious enough, but it did not meet the ex- pectation. Tens of thousands were prom- ised—twenty thousand at least—but: some- how that great numver falled to materialize. The failure of great crowds has been ex- p@ined in various ways—the farmers were too busy to attend; they knew it was all right anyway and their presence was not needed; everybody would come, and hence one individ *) not perceptibly swell the aboveand beyond every publican party would s >t any effort.

They tell the people they have captured everything—that the enemy—the Democrats—are nowhere in sight, and that | the whole southern country of this State, is in a blaze of glory tor the election of the ite- ublican ticket. It sounds funny, but it oesn’t debar all the officers of the State who have been struggling for place from getting down there one helping things along, Some. times things control themselves, but it doesn’t seem so this year. The horiles of Republicans, from Fifer down, who are soon tocontinue theirtramp through Egypt, know in their heart of hearts that the mocrats are @n- rolled and entrenched, and that their guns are ready to be discharged in the face of the enemy. The Kepublicans admit all this, but they say they can circumvent it. Possibly thev can; probably they can’t. Therets not a State oficial at the State ‘House that does not admit that his jobis practically given up. They over-hear the contersation of prominent officials. Just think of the exodus in the case of a change of administration. CHICAGO CANDIDATES. CHICAGO, Ill., Aug. 20.—The fate of Cook County Democracy is trem)ling in the bal- ance to-day. The County Convention met at 10 o’clock this -morning, and upon its re- sults it is conceded dependina great meas- ure the hopesofthe party’s success in the State of Lilinois in the coming campaign. Chicago is the stronghold of the De- mocracy, and to secure the nomination of a ticket of irrepproachable candidates a citi- zens’ Advisory Committee was appointed some daysagotoprepare and submit t: to- day’s convention a (‘ist of three or four ‘*elivibles’’ for each cfiice for which 9 can- didate is to be nominated. The committee has done its work, but in doing it it has ignored the claims of several of the most active politicians who are candidates for, and expect tobe, deciared eligible forthe respective offices they seek. An effort will certainly be madeto nominate as the candi- date for State’s Attorney aman whots out- side the pale of the Reform Committee’s rec- ommendations, and there is a possibility that there may besuchasplit asto result in the practical repudiation of the Citizens’ Com- mittee and its labors.

MONTICELLO, Ga., Aug. 29.—The suicide of John Henry Smith, in jail here last night, and father-in-law. He was in jail for wife beating. He sent for his wife and hor father yesterday, promised them repentance, ang which they refused to do. After they ieft Sheriff! McDowell locked the jail. Thig was about 3:30 o’clock, AZ 6 o’clock the Sheriff made his usual visit tothe jailto put his prisoners in the lower Cage in their cells. Formerly when- ever Sheriff McDowell went to the jail, Smith had something to say to him, and as he failed to say anything this time, the Sheriff spoke tohim. Me not answering, the Sheriff went up to the cell and found Smith hanging by a small rope used totiethe bunks to tie sides of the cells. The Sheriff ran out ahd called assistance and they unlocked the cell and immediately cut the man down. The body was stillWarm. A doctor was sent for but the man was beyond recovery. Three large gashos wgre found on his head. The prisoners in the lower cell had heard a jarring some time before and a door facing was found ‘to be bloody. This shows that he firsttried to butt his brains outand, not succeeding, hanged himself. rope tohis neck and then climbed on his bunk and from there onto a small projection of the cell to tie the roneto the side of the cell, There was just room for him to fang, As the prisoners in the 'ower cells heard no struggling, it is supposed that he was weak from his first attempt and died of strangula- tion. Letiers were found written to his wife, the Sherif! and his father, giving instruc- tions as to his burial and disposition of his property, CAUSED BY DRINK.

WHAT THE AUTHOR OF “THE LEAVEN- WORTH CASE” SAYS OF THE TRAGEDY. fhe Does Not Believe That Lizzie Com- mitted the Murders—She Has a Theory, But Declines to Disclose It—Latest Developments in the Fall River Sen- sation—Lisszie’s Hatred of Her Father. New york, Aug. 20.—The remarkably close analogy between the Borden murder and Anna Katharine Green’s story, ‘*‘The Leaven- worth Case,’’ has been commented upon by every reader offhat popular novel. No one was more prompt to see the resemblance than the authoress herself. No one has fol- lowed the detailsof the Borden case more closely. No outsider, perhaps, is better qualified to suggest a plausible solution of the greatmystery than the keen analytic writer of detective tales. Anna Katharine Green does not beHeve that Lizzie Borden is guilty of the crime with which she is charged. She has reasons, and apparently good ones, for her opinion. Some of these she ex- pressed to a SUNDAY Post-DisPaATCH corre- spondent in an interview on the borden case. To those who know her in private life the novelist is Mrs. Charles Rohlfs; with her husband and three pretty babies she issummeringat Bellport, L. I. Sheisa woman of slight figure, with blue eyes, a placid face anda matronly air. It required a great deal of persuasion to get the famous authoress to consent to be interviewed, but she finally did consent and when she became interested inthe topic she talked freely and unreservedly. -‘‘I am extremely averse,’’ she said, ‘‘to be considered in the light of presuming to take up the duties of the police in theorizing upon a case of this character as a matter of Ife and death, Not that my views would have any particular weight in shaving the course of procedure in ferreting out the criminal, but motives might be attributed te me that are entirely foreign to my nature. However, [hope not. When I read the story of the Borden murder I remarked to my husband, ‘Whata remarkable resem- blance to ‘‘The Leayenworth Case!’’’ Ihad noticed thatit wasalmost an actual repro- duction of my story in real life, alltha more remarkable because ‘The Leavenworth Case’ has frequently been criticised as ut- terly Improbable, ‘*in the first placethe victims of the Fall River murderand *The Leavenworth Case’ had noenemies; they were wealthy ;they were bothonthe point of changing thelr wills; there were two to Denefit or suffer by ths ac- tion; to all appearances they were perfectly secure; both crimes were committed ina re- markably short space of time, with the reg- ular inmates of the house within call at the time. ‘The discovery of both crimes was by acct- dent—and both were committed noiselessly. The pistolshotin‘The Leavenworth Case’ was not heard by the inmates of the house; nor was Mrs. Borden’s fall, though she weighed over two hundred pounds, and from the position in which she lay when discovered must-have failen heavily. ‘*The mysterious man who was hired to say. on the stoop‘ e has deeply wronged me,’ bears a remarkably close analogy to Claver- ing in ‘The Leavenworth Case.’ Thenthe cir. cumstantial evidence, such as it is,in the Borden case has many parallels in ‘The Leavenworth Case.’ The servant girl Hannah in my story had left the house just about the way Bridget Sullivan did, thus drawing suspicion upon herself. Then, too, there was the contradictory theorles of thé detectivesand their effort after they had singled out the most probably guilty one to boister up by such evidence as came most readily tohand; afterwards came all the im- penetrable mystery. ‘*In ‘The Leavenworth Oase’ the first one to announce the crime was Truman Harwell, the real culprit, who at the time could seem to have no possible motive for its commis- sion,’’ **Do you believe Lizzie Borden guilty?’’ the reporter interrupted to ask. ‘‘Ig that your deduction from what I have said?’’ asked Mrs. Rohifs. ‘Well, frankly, @rom the facts as I have been able to gather from the newspapers, I donot. Ibelleve her innocent. Of course 7 donot know all the factsinthecase. Per- haps the police do not. I usually work back- ward in mysteries, This is the reverse order of things. Besides, as I have before said, this is a matter of life and death, ana it would be presumptuous in me to advance any theory of my own whilethere was a doubt as tothe guilt or innocence of any one involved. That is a matter for the police, You see Ideal in fiction, not fact. Ilcare noth. ing about facts in my romances, **My reasons for believing Lizzie Borden innocent are simply these: If the old people were first killed by poison, it is not in the heart of a sane woman, no matter how de- signing and avaricious, to resort to butchery inaddition. Supposing her motive had been to get rid of them, her design would have been accomplished if they came to their death without the brutal injuries inflicted, It Is not reasonable to suppose that Lizzie Borden was the murderegs, because that would have been the act of a maniac. It would have been more probable if both the victims had been in the same room, but to dispose of them and then go deliberately tothe room upstairs on asimilar errand is doubtful, because we must remember she is awoman and nota flend. Her character, asl have understood it from the published reports, ig thoroughly womanly, and there is no doubtin my mind as to her thorough sanitv. Idonot see how the circumstantial evidence that has been brought forward justifies the conclusions reached. ‘But while it is reasonable to suppose that Lizzie Borden fs innocent, both directly or as an accomplice, yet She might have inferen. tialor indirect knowledge of the crime suf. ficient tocause at least a suspicion in her mind as to who might be implicated. That would readily account for her seemingly con- tradictory evidence on the stand, Th la ween my fiction lorable fact is heightened dl eet taaypenne. ae some unknown sym- mittin crime his own responsibility ~~ but balf formed in on without regard to and for some is mind 1 and of course inyolve the affairin mystery from th ignorance of crime and criminal methods. **If | were weaving this into a story establish a strong relations . Races a hood fit to cast under suspicion. Now this is fic- tion. Whether the facts that may be devel. oO in this remarkable cage will be borne ~ e this ingtance you must not ask me to predict. **l am si ‘{n the position every law- abidin atead is go: to be in witfi this mys s . LThaveno doubt that every one has tri ocome to a conclusion. Nat- urally Ihave but I am.not going to tell it for the reason I must repeat that it Is too se- rious a matter for meto volunteer anything that might be construed into officious inter- ference.’’ Mrs. Roblfs positively declined to give her theory as to who is the gullty one, vary oe she admitted that she had good grounds for reaching a conelusion which seems to solve the mystery. LIZZIE’S HATRED OF HER FATHER. ‘ FALL RIVER, Mass., Aug. 20,—A new phase has been given to the Borden mystery by the publication of the following story, which has given rise to much speculation in police circles: Capt. Smalley, Chairman of the Overseers of the Poor, was ona vacation at Craigville atthe time of the Borden murder. On the day after the murder,as he sat on the veranda with others discussing the crime, he re- marked that it was impossible for the daugh- ter to perpetrate such a horrible deed. ‘*There pany me,’’ continued Oapt. a stranger, towhom I had been addressing most of my conversation. This man related a conversation that he had with Andrew J. Borden, which opened the eyes of those who heard him. He sald that not long ago he was at Mr. Borden‘s farm at Swansea. The old gentleman, with whom he was ac- quainted, came out there very much dis- turbed. Upon being questioned, he said that he did not take much comfort at home with Lizzie; that she would not eat at the same @table with him, and only that morning when he went into the room where she was_ eating, she got up from the table and left the room. Mr. Bordentold him this with tears in hig eyes. Mr. Borden said further, that when he left the house Lizzie said to him she hoped he would come home a corpse, and probably you will, she adided,’’ Capt. Smailey said he was thunderstruck,and not being acquainted with the man who related the circumstances made inguiry about him, andjlearned that he was a reliable person residing in Fall River. His business wasthat of a traveler, and he was closely connected with one of the Fall River churches.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Aug. 20.—The Iron Hall proceedings in court this morning were opened with an order to Supreme Cashier Davis to open his books tothe investigating committee of the order’s Executive Commit- tee. Supreme Accountant Walker was placed upon the stand and gave the geographical distribution of the order, showing it to have 63,199 members. Especially sensational was the testimony of Vice- Justice Hosmer of the Maryland Leg: - islature and the reading of the secret mine utes of the meeting of the Supreme Lodge or ‘*Ritting.’’ Mr. Hosmer was asked: ‘'How much have you drawn?’’ ‘*Eight hundfed dullars.’’ **When?’? **Within the past three months,’’ **Was a bill rendered?’’ **Ves,’’ **Vor what?’’ { **Legalexpensesin the Legislature of Ma- ryland, and expenses at Washington, when 75 legal expense was Incurred, and two mectings at Petersburg.’’ . ‘*Whom did you give this money to in Ma- ryland?’’ **To Joseph Harris, Supreme Watchman of the order,’’ said the witness, to relieve his interlocutor. ‘*Supreme what?’’ ‘*‘Supreme Watchman.’’ ‘And Mr. Harris paid it toa lawyer?’’ €é Yes. >? ‘‘How much?’’ ‘*One hundred and fifty-five dollars.’’ ‘*Who was the attorney?’’ **T decline to answer.’’ **Oh, you do, do you?’’ said Mr, Hawkins, looking at the Court. **Answer it,’’ said Attorney Smith of the defense, **Give the name,’’ sald Judge Taylor. ‘*Mr. Joyce,’’ replied the witness. **First name?’’ **Don’t know.’’ **Was he a member of the Legislature?’’ *‘*lam not sure; I think he was.’’ ‘*‘Now, don’t you know he was?’’ **I belleve so.’’ ‘*What legislation was reprehensible to the order?’’ ‘‘Alawto plate endowment orders under the control of the Insurance Commissioner.’ ‘**You wished to defeat this?’’ *e¥en.!° The other expenses, he said, were incurred at two public meetings at Baltimore and de- fense of a benent suit in Washington. ‘ Free ee render a bill to Ssmerby?’’ éé rf >> **Did you get the money?’’ ‘*Yes; my bill aggregated $750, Somerby sent me a check for $800.’’ **You didn’t have to render bills to anyone but Somerby and Somerby sent you the money?’’ ‘*Yes; he ordered the accountant to draw the warrant.’’ **Did you ever receive any other money?’’ **Yes; $400 in 1890 for similar expenses. ’’ **In the Legisiature?’’ ‘‘No; the Legisiature did not meet that year.’’ .

SARGENT’S INTERESTING EXAM- INATION OF THE CHAMPION’S FRAME. A Fighter From the Crown of His Head to the Soles of His Feet—His Exact Measurements—Sullivan’s Forthcom- ing Book, Giving an Actount of His Meeting With Mitchell New YorK,* Aug. 20.—John L. Sullivan’s forthcoming book contains a complete physi- calanalysis by Dr. Dudley A. Sargent of Harvard University. The analysis is fllus- trated with charts and photographs, show- ing the champion’s wonderful physical de- velopment. If Hercules or Ajax was ever muscled like this modern gladiator it is no wonder thatthe smaller fry of -their times held them insuchawe. To sumup Dr. Sar- gent’s examination in afew words Sullivan is built for a fighter from the crown of his head down to his toes. The length of his legs is not proportionate to his enormous body, but the wise examiner finds in this an additional aptitude for self- defense. During his medical career Dr. Sar- gent has physically examined and measured 6,000 men, and with the maximum measure- ments of this vast army Sullivan’s brawn, bone and sinew has been carefully compared. In his standing height Sullivan surpasses 68 per cent of all those examined, and in his sitting height 95 per cent. In the height of John L. Sullivan, the knee the pugilist surpasses 70 per cent of those examined and in the length of the thigh only 44 per cent. It will be seen therefore that the big fistic champion **sits high’’ and stands iow, In ail other measurements Sullivan surpasses the normal. With an average length of knee and thigh, itis Dr. Sargent’s opinion that Bullivan would have been at least 6 feet 2 inches in height, It is probable, however, that Sullivan’s shortthighs have added to, rather than detracted from his efficiency as @ boxer. Asa general rule, tall men have less endurance than men of average stature. NECK AND CHEST. Sullivan’s neck is 1642 inches in circumfer- ence, exceeding the great measurement of this part taken by seven-tenths of an inch. A large neck isas much a sign in physical force, in Dr. Sargent’s opinion, as a large trunk and limbs. When it comes toinflation, Sullivan exceeds the maximum meas- urement by one and one- fourth inches. His natural chest is 4412 and his inflated chest 46/2 inches. Als circumference below the chest muscles is 40 9-10 inches natural and 43 7-10 inches in- tiated. Although this measurement is not on the chart Dr. Sargent regards it of ‘more im- portance than the chest measurement, as it does not include so many iarge muscles and shows the actual mobility of the ribs in full, deep breathing. The circumference of the waist is 38 2-10 inches, whichis equal to the largest measurements made by Dr. Sargent. SULLIVAN ’S STRONG POINTS. ihe girth of Sullivan’s hips is exceeded by the measurements of but one other person being 429-10 inches. The thighs are each 25 inches in circumference and the knees 1712. These measurements of knees, thighs, hips, waist and chest are considered by Dr. Sar- gent as Sullivan’s strong points. Of course big arms and shoulders are important in Sul- livan’s profession but these members could not be of long continued service without the large trunk as a “reserve of vital pow- er and the powerful hips and thighs as a basis oft support. Pro- portionally the caives, ankles and thighs are not developed equally with the other parts. The caif is 15 7-10 inches in Circumference sur- passing over 98 per cent of those examined. The ankle measurement which is 9 6-10 inches is not giveninthe chart. The girth of the instep is 10 4-10 inches. Sullivan again goes up into the maximum in the girth of hisarms, elbows and wrists. When his upper arm Is contracted its girth is 157-10 inches, his right elbow 122-10, left elbow 12 8-10 and right forearm 13 inches. His left forearm is 12 2-10 inches, while both wrists are 79-10. Suliivan’s measurement around the biceps exactly equals that crea- {ted to John C. Heenan. : HIS BREATHING APPARATUS. Depth of chest is one of Suilivan’s strongest points and when its great breadth istaken into consideration its diameter in inflation is considered by Pr.Sargentas being remarkable. When it comesto breadthsullivan surpasses the maximum in everything but breadth of head. His shoulders are 205-10 inches in width, his waist 14 inches and hips 1éinches. The tength of the upper arm is in- Cicated on the chart by the measurement from the shoulder to the elbow is 159-10 inches. This exceeds % per cent of those measured, but falis Bhort of the maximum by nearly three inches. The lengtN of the fore- arm is 19 6-10 inches On the left, the latter be- ing shortened by a fracture of the forearm. ‘This measurement also surpasses over 26 per cent of those examined. The arms, though proportionally short for the wvirti are not so for the sitting height. Length of forearm is ai advantage to a poxer, and Sullivan possesses this advantage ina marked degree. His stretch of arm is 74 inches. In this measurement he ts surpassed by over 6 per cent of those examined, the naximum being 80 inches. His lung capacity ig 800 cubic Inches, and is. surpassed by only 5 per cent of the 8,000 men examined by Dr, fargert. Ware HE HAS TRAINED DOWN, From the time Sullivan was examined tn Boston in June last down to Aug. 13, the date ot the last examination, en eng cultur- d the following eremces: Girth of b Girth ppbey ox Girth of calves inches.. i WHERE HEREDITY COMES IN, Dr. Sargent says that 17-inch Diceps and i7-inch calves are much more likely to be found among dime museum freaks than In well-developed athletes, Where one thor- oughly sound and well-proportioned big man can be found, ahundred men of aver- age size can be met with whoare better pre- —" for the wear and tear of life. It is this. act that makes Sullivan a phenomenon. With his legs and powerful trunk he has ‘in- herited the vital machinery to operate them with all the rapidity that characterizes smallermen. Inthe two experiments made to test tne speed of Sullivan’s blow, the first,which was made early in June, recorded 8-100 of a second as the time which it took his fist to travel 15 and 7-10inches. Two months later the time was 5 7-100 of a second. conclusion Dr. Sargent e6ays: ‘‘if the women of the land can learn from this man’s development how potent the influence of the mother is in fashioning and transmitting not only the refined and delicate parts of her organism but also the brawn and sinew that conquers both opponents and environments and sustainsthe race, John L. Sullivan will have served to illustrate a very important fact. HOW HE MET MITCHELL. Dr. Sargent’s treatis on Suilivan’s physique forms the concluding chapter of the *‘big iel- low’s’’ very interesting book. In this book, the story of his life and battles, he speaks PE eenety of everybody but Mitchell. Fol- lowing is his story of his experience with the English fighter: ‘‘On Nov. 9 I met Mitchell in a well Known sporting resort and signed articlesfor a fight for £500 under London dag ring rulesin a 24-foot ring. Neither he time nor the place of meeting were men- tioned in the articles signed. They were to be arranged between the seconds, namely, Phillip#for me and Pony Moore for Mitchell. Among those present atthe time were Mr Allison, the editor of the Sportsman, an Messrs. Harding, Bennett and Morton, American sporting men. After H. Bull, the well-known bookmaker of Newmarket, had nchosen as stakeholder, the drawing up of the articles began, which, even under the skiliful treatment of Allison, Was No easy matter. Mitchell disputed every article, and the transaction took three hours, MITCHELL WAS FOXY. ‘*When he came into the room where I was sitting he turned around tohis friends and followersand said: ‘Now, boys, Ihave got him.’ I only laughed. One by one the articles were agreed to, I giving away every point without demur until it caime to the size ofthering. ‘It must bea twenty-four-foot ring,’ insisted Mitchell, who saw in thisa loop-hole to get out of the match. ‘Youare not signing for a foot race,’ Mitchell,’ said Phillips. ‘And I am not a sprinter,’ I re- marked. Mitchell insisted, however, and just ashe felt that the contest was spent on the rock of contention, I said: ‘‘All right, my boy, let it be a twenty-four-foot ring. You will find eventhat too small to skulk in when the day comes.’’ Mitchell’s counten- ance darkened. ThenI insisted that the lib- erty of choice of time and place given the seconds should be limited by two conditions, that the contest must come off within a thousand miles of London and not clash with any of my previous engagements. I haa to do this, I said, because when the time came Mitchell would insist on fighting in China. CHALLENGED HIM ON THE SPOT. During the whole two h urs Mitchell had been taunting me in the most outrageous manner. Finally he called mea dirty rogue. Isprangtomy feet and this time my blood wasup. ‘*‘Comeon you whelp. | have two carriages down stairs. You get in one and I willtake the other and we willdriveto the nearest vacant space and there I’ll knock your head off.’’ Mitchell smiled sickly and followed me a little ways toward the door. Then Allison interposed and I was hurried away. lieft, saying: ‘‘Allright, I will walt until I meet him, but when I do I'll give it to him all the worse for waiting.’’ SULLIVAN DESCRIBES THE FIGHT. The fight took place on Baron Rothschild’s ground at Chantilly, March 10, 1888. 1 wanted to fight this sprinter in a sixteen-foot ring, knowing wellthat his tactics in a twenty- four-foot ring would be torun around or He down, which he did at every opportunity afforded him in the fight. 1 wished to prevent this known aie unfair business. it is a well knowna established fact that in all my careerasa Doxer or fighter 1 have al- ways fought my opponent manfully and fairly. Im this fight with Mitchell I was fouied a number or times by being spiked re- peatedly by Mitchell. Of this the referee seemed totakeno notice. “One of the wit- nesses of the fight was ‘‘Pony’’ Moore, Mitchell’s father-in-law, who stood with a face puckered with anxiety and nervousness. When I got my right across and Charlie dropped, ‘*Pony’’ cried, ‘‘there goes my boy.’’ knock-down blow the second brought forth, ‘There goes my house,’ and when for the third time Charlie was floored, ‘Pony’ in an agony exclaimed, ‘and there goes the estate and everything.’ For the first four rounds it looked odds,as Baldock has since said, long odds on the ‘big fellow’ in the fifth e z 5 ' _ oe *s Ww —— - ¢ : = => James J. Corbett. round. When I was swinging the right I caught Mitchell on the back of the headand severely bruised the muscles of the right arm. Still Mitchell seemed afraid to stand uptothe fight. Inthe tenth round, when he was continuing his tactics, I said in diszust: ‘Oh, don’t run around the ring.’ ‘First blood’ to Mitchell was claimed in round eight. Ireplied: ‘Youcan have it.’ He re- plied: ‘Well, there is nothing in it but to de- cide a bet.’ MADE A SHEEP TRACK. Running and dropping was his game, and to such an extent did he practice the former that when the fight was overatrack likea sheep run was to be noriced all around the ring. Once he dropped without a biow, and received: a caution, and after this he went down a number of times witha mere tap. Had I desired to practice the tricks of the London prize ring rules I had good oppor- tunities to do 60 by giving my weightto Mitchell, but I tried my _ Dbest to avold falling on him. Mitchell adopted asaving game throughout. Before starting he had admitted having a great task before him and when.he went intothe ring be did not go to win my £500 but to save his own, which, thanks tothe big ring, the weather and my accident, he succeeded in doing. In this fight | was unfortunate, having the worst corner where the rain beat incessantly in my face and body causing me to become chilly and I refused numerous times to par- take ofany brandy which my seconds in- sisted on my taking. WANTED MORE FIGHT. The termination of the fight was brought abont by Mitchell’s second, Jack Baidock, who stepped into the ring and said: ‘‘Shake hands and cali it a draw.’’ 1 said: ‘‘Let us fight a couple more rounds,’’ but everybody said ‘‘No’’ Mitchell and I then re- tired from thering. On the road, while re- turning from the scene of the fight, we were arrested by gens d’armes, who pointed re- volvers at our heads. We were takentoa lace called Senlis, where we were taken be- ore atribunalandthe gens G’armes gave in their charge — us. The outcome of the episode was that we were locked up from 7 o’clock Saturday evening until 1 o’cleck Sunday before the French authorities would accept bonds for our release. Being satisfied that we would appear in court the next day they admitted Miichell and myself to bonds. After our release we oth met our friends, who, fortunately had not been locked up, golngtoa hotel across the road and a party consisting of a dozen Amer- icans, Englishmen and Frenchmen sat down toasumptuous breakfast. The party in- oa rry Phillips, Jack Barnett, Ed- ward Ke, William O’Brien, Pony Moore, Jack Baldock, Kilrain, Mitchell and myself. Only a few in the party knewthat I did not intend to stand trial, having made up my mind to leave Senlis by the first train for Paris and then to gO by way of Calais for my intentions they increased our Bons from e creased our bona s irom $800 to $1,600 ad WHY HE LEFT FRANCE. My reason for not appearfng in court or wishing to stand trial was that some three months beforethis event Kilrain and Smith fought in France, and during the battle a man named McNeill, who ha ne over to see the ight and to do the reporting for the Sportsman Of London, was killed by either falling over or being foully dealt with. There- fore I took the boat at Calais for Dover and ac- count of my Mitchell was very careless about his movementsin France. In Amiens he walked from day to day all over the town without any attempt at conceal- ment. Thefight wasa walking tournament a greater part ofthe time. Mitchell did not face me as he ought to have done. My fight with Mitchell was the lastevent of any note in my first trip to foreign countries. I em- barked on the 12th day of April on the steam- ship Catalonia for Boston, arriving after fourteen days’ sailand meeting with a grand ovation from my friends. THEIR RECORDS TELL. THE SIX MEN HAVE -DONE WHO WILL FIGHT AT NEW ORLEANS. Cuts are presented to-day of the six pugilists who will do battle during the com- ing fistic carnival at New Orleans. Three of them hold championship titles, Sullivan, the world’s heavyweight championship; Jack WHAT Jack McAuliffe. McAuliffe, the lightweight championship; while Dixon stands unbeaten tn the feather- weightclass. The three who willl attempt to wrest these titles from them are men who by repeated victories over fighters in their | class are now entitled to aspire to the cham- | plonshipand prove themselves superior to the present holders of the titles. Each con- test will therefore be a supreme effort. The | records of the men follow. John Lawrence Sullivan, the unbeaten hero of the prize-ring, was born of Irish parents inthe Highlands, Boston, Oct. 15, 1858, so | that he is now close on to 34 years of |age. Hiscorrect height is 5 feet 10!2 inches, and he will weigh 212 pounds when he faces Corbett in the coming fight. His physical measurements when he faced Mitchell were: Chest, 44 inches; biceps, 16% inches; calf, I5tg inches; thigh, 27 inches. He began | sparring in 1879, but first attracted pubic at- tention in 1889 by Knocking out Joe Goss at the latter’s benefit tgMusic Halil, Boston. George Rooke and Jotin Donaldson were the next to go down before him. He next bested John Flood for a purse of $1,090 on board a barge near Yonkers, N. Y. This was a Dare-knuckle encounter. On Feb. 7, i882, he put Paddy Ryan to sleepat Mississippi City in nine rounds, lasting ten minutes and one-half. The fight was for $5,000 and the championship. Sullivan’s fame was now sure, and unable to findan opponent he introduced the ‘‘knock-out’’ system, offering $1,000 to any man that would stand before’ him four rounds with gloves. **Tug’’ Wilson was the only man who did it, and his methg«ls were disgraceful, Charles Mitchell escaped through police interference. In the faul of 1883 he made a nine months’ tour ofthe States, holding out his offer and knocking out some fifty pugilists who had sufficient temesity to face him. Aftertesting John Loftin, Alf Greenfield, Paddy Ryan, Jack Burk and Dominick Mc- Caffrey, he traveled with Lester & Allen’s Minstrels, In 1886 he Knocked out Paddy Ryan forthethird time and Frank Herald. ln the fall of 1887 he traveled through Eng- land and created great enthusiasm. On March 10, 1888, he fought. thirty-nine rounds with CharleyMitcheil at Criel, France. Through Mitchell’s generalship and sprinting tactics, the fight was declared a draw. His next fight was with Jake Kilrain at Richburg, Miss., in July, 1889. Kilrain was beaten. Since then Sullivan’s face has become familiar all over the country through his theatrical ventures. Lastsummerthechampion grew testy over newspaper remarks made by Mitchell, Slavin, Corbett and others and issued a very taunting challenge. Corbett took him up apd the present fight ts the outcome, Jim Corbett, who is to make a daring bid for | the world’s championship, is 26 years of age, His pugilistic career began in San Francisco, the family home, where Mr. Corbett, Sr. carrieson a large livery and undertaking business. Jim after receiving a fair edu- tion went to work asaclerk inan insurance Billy Meyers. office. He was an athlete at school and after leaving school became a mem- ber of the Olympic Athletic Club, the big gymnasium of San Francisco. He soon developed surprising capabilities as a clever boxer and at length gave up mercan- tile pursuits and became an instructor in box- ing tothe club, His first ight was with Joe Uboynski. The fight was interrupted by the police, but afterwards fought out on a barge. was his mill with Peter Jackson. The fight Corbett being declared the winner, The battle which brought him into prominence lasted over four hours and was declared no contest. He had already out-pointed Jake Kilrain ina six-round boxing contest for scientific points. Dominick McCaffrey and he fought a six-round glove contest In New York City, after the Jackson mill, Mc- Caffrey Being clearly outclassed. Cor- bett was next matched to fight Peter Maher, but the mill never came off, both men George Dizon. withdrawing after a continued squabble over conditions in the public press. Corbett next ra wage the sporting world by accepting Sullivan’s taunting deflance to fight any man in the world, Mitchell, Slavin or Corbett pre- ferred. The coming battle is the outcome of that challenge and its acceptance. Corbett is an out and out athlete, 6feet 1% inches in height and weighs 193 pounds. He isa scientific boxer, but it is doubted if he can hit hard enough to put Sullivan out. Jack McAuliffe, despite his careless manner of living, has a splendid record as a fighter, When Jack Dempsey, his companionin the Palmer cooperage, graduated into the mid- dle-weight class, he left the light-aveight championshiptohischum. Jack the second has since successfully defended the title against all comers. His battles before and for a time after gaining the title were numerous. After he had won the honor for a short time he was matched to fight Jim Carney, the clever light-weight champion of England. Jack Kept the Englishman off for a protracted number of rounds and the fight was declared a draw, against the pro- tests of Carney, whohad the advantage. McAuliffe was not in good condition when he entered the ring and he wanted the battle deferred, butasit had already been post- poned on McAuliffe’s account Carney insisted on a fight. McAuliffe next met Billy Myer, his pres- ent opponent, at North Judson, Ind., and after a prolonged contest, which was a sprinting match on Meyers’ part, the con test was declared a draw. McAuliffe has since defeated Austin Gibbons. The ques- tion of superiority between him and Myer will be faithfully tested on Sept 5. Billy Myer, familiarly known as the ‘*Streator Cyclone,;’” made his: debut in pugilistic circles about 1886. He isa Streator lad, born and bred, and isalways backed in his contests ~ a the substantial busi- ness men oO his town, among whom he tis a great favorite. His first fights were principally with local Illinois and Missourl scrappers. His victory over Charley Daly of St. Louls was his first con- test of any prominence. He next fought Harry Gilmore, the champion Ilight- weight of Canada. Gilmore was Knocked outinthe fourth round by one of Myers’ terrific right arm lunges. Gilmore’s friends claimed the victory was accidental and the men were again brought together. his time the Canadian was putto sleep in- side of two minutes. Myer has since en- gagedina good many exhibitions and de. feated such good men as Danny Needham and Jimmy Carroll. His *only .defeat was at the hands of Andy Bowen, who gota decision on We age Jack Skelly. him in their contest at New Orleans. The men met again, but the contest ,was a con- tinued round of fouls. It was finaMy declared a draw. Myer, however, had all the best of it. When the O’Brien-Fitzsimmons match fell through Myer and McAuliffe were easily induced to go at each other for the money, Knowing ones predict that it will be the best set-to of the series. George Dixon is the cileverest bantam boxer that ever entered a ring. He is a Halifaxian, but has adopted Boston as his home. His record is one unbroken series of victories. On a rough estimate he has won more than two hundred fights, c ounting in all the unfortunate aspirants for fame he has knocked out in his travels about the country. Hereisarecordofhis best tights: Defeated young Johnson, 3 rounds; beat Jack Ha milton, 8 rounds; defeated Sam Cohen, 6 rounds: defeated Jim Mack, —— roands; beat Charley Parton 6 rounds; defeated Barney Finnegan, 7 rounds; de- feated Fred Morris, 4 rounds: defeated Paddy Kelly, 15 rounds; drew with Tom Dougherty, 10 rounds; defeated Jim Brackett, § rounds; drew with Hank Brennan four times, respectively in 10, 9, 15 and 27 rounds; defeated Billy James, 3 rounds; defeated Fugene Hornbacker, 2 rounds; drew with Cal Mc- Carthy, 70 rounds: beat Kune Wal- lace, English champion, 16 rounds: defeated Johnny Murphy, 40 rounds; defeated Cal McCarthy, 23 rounds, defeated Abe Willis, Aus- tralian champion, 5 rounds. On June 28 last he defeated Fred Johnson, Engiand’s cleverest featherweight, In four- teen hot rounds at the Coney Island Athletic Club. Dixon tsa colored boy, and by his clever ring methods has gained the reputation of being a very ‘‘fly coon.’’ Jack Skelly’s record as a fighter was made in amateur circles avout New York and Brooklyn. His coming battle will be his first prominent set-toas a professional. He isa Brooklyn boy and worked with Jack McAuliffe and Jack Dempsey atthe Palmer Cooperage on North second. It was they who taught him to be handy with his ‘‘dukes."" He has an inch advantage over Dixon in hefght and reach. His style of fighting is similar to Cor- bett’s. Heisa splendid general, @ clever two-hanged boxer and a hard hitter. His friends are not afraid of Dixon’s record and say their man is fighting for both love and money and stands a good chance to win. —_— — PENSION BUSINESS BOOMING.

The interest in the McFadden-Luttbeg wrestling match that comes off at the Grand Opera-house next Saturday night ms to be constantly on the increase. At the Pastime Club it is all that is being discussed. Both men are still working hard at their training and expect to keep it up until a couple of days before the match, McFadden’s training consists prin- cipally of long walks, runs and of gymna- sium work, condition and expectsto be able to wrestle the match of his life. Luttbeg has been training at the Compton avenue Park andatthe Pastime Club Gym- nasium.

Luttbeg’s record asa wrestler is something remarkable. Out of twenty-seven matches with men of decided merit he hasilost only one match—the one he lost with McFadden here several months ago.

: _ . a § tls a. St. Louis Me > ste i . a Post-Dispatch, Sunday, Gugust 2, 1892. ia | _— _ oe ey The Exposition This Year Will Break All Records. IT STARTS WITH GILMORE’S BAND HERE FOR THE OPENING NIGHT. | Rew Features and Novel Displays the General Rule—The Art Gallery Collec- tion—In Sculpture Hall—Among the Exhibite—The “Gilmore Hundred’”’— A Splendid Prospect for Ex. Visitors. Two hours before the St. Louls Exposition of 1892 opens, Gilmore, with his full band of 100 musicians, will arrive in 8t. Louis. This auspicious conjunction of two import- antand happy events is especially notable for two reasons. The first is that never be- fore in the-marvelousiy successful history of the Exposition hasthe immortal Gilmore, at the head of his tuneful legion, been present to conduct the musical programme of the opening night. The second is that never before has Gilmore brought sucha band with him as will be heard during the pending Exposition season. The largest number of musicians that here- tofore obeyed the magic sweep ofthe Gilmore baton on the great stage of Music Hall was some sixty inall. This year there will be 100, and every one a past-master in his art. **Centurion Gilmore’’ isthe title Dy which the masterly band-leader will be known in St. Louis this year. The ‘‘Gilmore Hundred’’ will be the rallying cry of all true lovers of music for forty days after the Oenturion arrives. It ison Wednefday, Sept. 7, that will occur the fortunate conjunction noted above. At 7 o’clock on the evening of that day the Ex- position season of 1892 will open. At 5 o’clock on that afternoon Gilmore and his band, ona ‘‘Big Four’’ special, will reach &t. Louis direct from New York. The band scores for the programme of the opening night will have preceded Gilmore, and will be already at the Exposition. This will be Goneto avoid any confusion or un- necessary work immediately following the great leader’s arrival. He will be enabled to go direct from the Union Depot to the Exposition Butlding, only taking time to dispose of ap- propriate refreshments awaiting himself and the 100. Then ‘‘the man andthe hour’’ will have arrived, and the St. Louls Exposition season of 1892 will open. **It took some figuring and some good hard work to bring this about,’’ says Manager Frank Galennie of the Exposition, ‘‘but we had made up our minds to accomplish it, and we wili do it.’’ Manager Gaiennie was right. Col. Gilmore’s season at the Madison Square Garden in New York ends on Tuesday morning, Sept. 6. To get the great leader and his band to St. Louls by the following night was the problem that confronted the Exposition manage- anent. It was solved by engaging a special train over the Big Four and Lake Shore routes, on which Col. Gilmore and his band will travel without stop to &t. Louls. The journey will be a lightning one,and it will also be another feather in the cap of the most successful Ex- position management in the world. The grand ‘‘Gilmore Special’’ will be ap-* propriately decorated its entire length with bunting and posters announcing that the train isatriumphal procession, bearing Gil- more and his band to the St. Louis Expos!i- tion. It willroll into the Union Depot ‘‘a thing of beauty and a joy forever,’’ as a part of Exposition nistory. **GOVERNORS’ NIGHT.?** The opening night ofthe St. Louis Exposi- tion of 1892 also promises to be notable for gnother good reason. It may goon record as **Governors’ Night.’’ The Exposition man- agement has issued special invitations to the Chief Executive of Missouri and _ to those of eight neighboring States to be present on that occasion. Gov. Francis will certainly attena, and should the others of the distinguished list be enabled to accept the Exposition in- vitation, the stage of Exposition Music Hall will be brilliant with State executives and their official staffs. Such a gathering would be appropriately representative of the ‘iy of usefullness of the St. Louis Exposition. It would stand as the type of the great territory covered by st. Louis as a trade center, ‘‘'THE GILMORE HUNDRED.’’ Talking about the increase in the numer- ical strength ot Gilmore’s Band, from sixty, as heard heretofore, to 100, the present strength, Manager Frank Galennie said yes- terday: **People will not realize the full meaning of this change until they hear the band this season. lI.can tell yousome of the results achieved by it. One is that you will now find in Gilmore’s Band a player for every modern musical instrument known to musicians and possible to be utilized in a band. The a thus gained for novel effects and new reatment, as well as for increased volume and harmony, cannot be estimated by one who has not heard Gilmore’s Band, asat sent organized. In addition to this also, he numerical increase in that band has | enabled Col. Gilmore to make octettes of all the quartettes heretofore used. This season, therefore, instead of the musical numbers rendered by quartettes cf coropets, French borns, saxophones, trombones, etc., which peve in previous seasons delighted the audi- ences in Music Hall, those numbers will be given by octettes, or just double the previous strength, and, also, the general strength of the band as a whole will be cor- res i reinforced. It goes without saying t every musician in Gilmore’s Band whe Lind oy All the old favorites have been reta , @nd the new additions will be found worthy oftheir company. Col. Gilmore has secured lots of new music, and visitors to the Exposition of 1892 are assured of a mu- gical treat far sufpassivg anything heard at ‘ previous expesitions.’’ THE 1892 ART GALLERY. Art Direcgor 8. A. Coale of the Exposition is at present in the East ig the interest of the Exposition Art Gallery of 1892. He promises thatthe ‘‘salon’’ of this year shall surpass all its predecessors, and finds time occasion- ally to write Manager Gaiennie of the results of his work sc far. In a recent letter Mr. Coaie says that he has secured as the center- piece for the season of 1892 a reproduction of Danton’s famous painting, ‘*The Apotheosis of Columbus,’’ a very large and meritorious canvas, which will be sure to provea great art attraction. For the ‘‘war pictures’’ of the present ex- nibition,Mr. Coale writes that he Ras secured the following, the dimensions of each paint- ing being about 12x17 feet: ‘‘Lee’s _Sur- render,’’ ‘‘Battle of Donelson,’’ and ‘‘Bat- tie of imont.’’ Kach of the three is a spirited and faithful work, and be be found full of the deepest interest to all students of the great events of the civil war. In addition, Mr. Coale states that there will be a fine display of paintings of the modern Doteh school and of the famous nineteenth century French ‘‘animaliers,’’ also a splen- did panel of studies of cats. He advises Mr. Gatennie that it is also very probable he may be enabled tc exhibit a na ‘*furner’’ as one of the features of this year’s gallery. A notable display, in es to the above will that be of paintings of the ‘Munich School,’’ which have already red. These latter will be hung personal direction of Mr, the well-Known art pa but is not*yet prepared to give de- A NOVELTY IN SCULPTURE HALL. In Sculpture Hall, adjoining the Art Gallery on the west, where the display of Japanese **curios’? was made last year, there will be fouud a-ne w surprise awaiting visitors to the Exposition of 1892. This will bea collection of old, historic laces and fans owned by American families. Manager Gaiennie states that a full collection of such relics and sou- venirs is already assured, and it will undoubtedly prove one of the most interest - ingfeatures of the Exposition. There are Many ‘*‘bdiue-blooded’’ American families whose private collection of such treasures amounts almost to a complete ‘‘gallery’’ in itself. Nearly every article of that nature has adeeply interesting history of its own, a rec of individual and family history closely interwoven with that of the times of which such souvenirs tell. In all instances where those contributing to the Exposition Giapiay make no objection this history of old laces and fans will be given in brief form, and will add greatly to the interest with which the displays themselves are studied. Such a collection will be es pee attractive to all feminine visitors tothe Exposition. It bring up before them mental pictures of the ‘*grande dames’’ of past generations. AMONG THIS YEAR’S EXHIBITS, Manager Gatennie is entirely confident that the opening night of the Exposition will find the displays in a more fully completed state than has ever been the case In past years The systematic work now going on inthe great Exposition building is proofof that fact, and the experience born of the success" fal record of those past years adds to the ef. ficiency and swiftness of the prepara- tions .now under way. A complete and sweeping change has been imade in Steplays heretofore submitted to Ex. visitors, and this fact, together with the addition of Many Mfotable new exhibits, will make the ,E xposition of 1892 one of entire novelty, even to the most faithful patron of the Ex. Entering the main floorof the Exposition building at theeast navethe visitors this year wiil find displays of pianos and of rare | China, taking the place of thoseof mantels, fine candies, etc., made last year, Down the entire length of the nave similar changes will be noticed, as indeed is the case inall other departments. At the Thirteenth Street entrance, a clothing displa gives place to that of spoolsiik, and the former is located atthe Fourteenth street entrance, Acarpet display this Panag takes the place formerly occupied by furs, and the fur dis- play goes to spacious quarters along the south wall of that nave. At the entrance to the West Naveafur display is made in the central space formerly given up to granite- ware, and inthe Exposition foyer an exhibit of pilasters of enameled brick is to be made, being built In along the wall. The north- east corner ofthe gallery floor is given up to the display of the Ladies’ World’s Fair Association,and in the North Nave will be an exhibit of dairy products. Among other dis- plays on thie gallery floor will be those of bicycles, carpets, stoves, gro- ceries and pure foods, photograph- ers’ supplies, an’ overall factory, gelatine, flowers, furniture, etc., all in new and novel form. The one aim and object impressed upon all exhibitors this year has been to attain complete freshness and originality of design, and as a result the vast aggregate of the Exposition exhibits will be entire ly new in its effect upon visitors. **THE FORTY NIGHTS.’’ The features for the different nights during the progress of the Exposition season, as ar- ranged to date by Manager Galennie, subject to further additions and changes, are as fol- lows: Sept. 7—Governor of Missourland the Gov- ernors ofthe neighboring States have been invited to be present.

The Prophet will arrive in St. Louis by river on the afternoon of that day. Hewill be given amilitary reception atthe wharf by the First Regiment, N. G. M., under command of Col. W.C. Wetmore, anda military parade tothe Exposition will then follow, the soldiers acting as an escort of honorto the Veiled Prophet. The public reception at the Ex. will follow the parade. Manager Galennie states that the demand for exhibiting space has been unprecedent- edly great and that every foot of space is now engaged. One of the notable features of this season will be that of displays of for- eign products and goods through American firms. The Exposition Entertainment Hall will be given up this year to an exhibition entitled ‘‘Galatea,’’ sed on the classic legend of ‘‘Pygmalion and Galatea.’’ The marble statue into which the gods breathed lifein answer to the prayersof the love- smitten sculptor will be shown, the apparent transition from the lifelessness of chiseled marble tothe fire of moving and breathing animation being shown by means ofan illu- sion cleverly based upon an arrangement of mirrors. Itis said tobe a very novel attrac- tion, & MILITARY RECEPTION. A communication received from the Veiled Prophet yesterday confirmed the report that the patronsof St. Louis and its festivities association would journey-to its beloved city by river this year. He will arrive at the wharf Saturday afternoon, Oct. 1, and will be met by Col. Wetmore and the First Regi- ment. The military will form in line and greet the royal barge with a grand salute. The Prophet will then march through the streets of the business section, accompanied by the soldiers and band, to the Exposition building. Here he will hold a public reception and take part in the general rejoicing. Then he will disap- r until Tuesday evening, when he will ‘emerge from the den as usual, and the great parade will follow.

TO BUROPE, AFRICA AND PERU IN THE NEW HAMPSHIRE. a A New York Boy’s Narrative of His Ex- perience ‘as & Naval Apprentice—He Is Familiar With Siumgullion and Lobscouse and Has Toed the Seam—A Boy’s Burial at Sea. ¢ Epecial Correspondence SUNDAY Post-D1spatcn. New YORK, Aug. 18. —The departure of one ofthe naval training ships from this port shows one side ofthe marine picture to the best advantage. There are from fifty to one hundred and fifty boys on board,all dressed in white and all proud of themselves and of their ship, which they know nothing about; colors are flying, guns firing, friends on shore wav- ing farewells. The start promises well for the romance and glory of life in the navy. The other side of the pictureis seen a few Gays later, when the ship is rolling and the boys are wrenched with seasickness, heartily wishing themselves at the bottom of the sea and trying to recover the use of their stomachs by dosing them with slumgullion, lobscouse, plum duff, salt horse and other marine delicacies, — What the life of an American navalappren- tice is, is notto be learned trom seeing the boys on dress parade, and this is usually the only opportunity that the landsman has of learnmg anything about it. The dally routine, the fare, the pay, the work, the pun- ishments, these things can only be learned from some one who has been through the ex- perience. A New York boy who has had the experience of a long cruise in the New Hamp- shire, visiting Europe, Africa, the Azores, Madeira, and the west coast of South Ameri- ca, tells the story of the voyage and ofthe life of a naval apprentice for the benefit of the SUNDAY Post- DISPATCH readers. This young man had reached the stage when New York had become too small for his ambition, and life between the Battery and Harlem unbearably dull. The navy seemed to hima fine opening, but he knew that no candidate under 21 is accepted with- out the consent of his parents, and this he could notobtain. The boys havetwo ways, however, of evading thisrule. If their ap- pearance will bear out the statement they | declare they are over 21; if it will not they find some middle-aged man to personate the father to g0 with them aboard the ship and reluctantly give his consent. When po friend can be found for this kindly act a small consideration will readily procure more impromptu fathers than any boy is in need of. With these two loopholes bright boys seldom find any di ficulty about getting into the navy ifthey can pass the examina- tions—it is easier to get in than to get out. The young man, though only 17, derives a somewhat mature appearance from a. bud- ding beard, and he passed for 21 without dif- ficulty,. **The Minnesota was lying at the foot of West Twenty-sixth street,’’ he says, ‘‘and one afternoon I went on board. The officer ofthe deck came up to me and asked me whatI wanted. WhenlItold him he said it was too late for that day, but I should come back the next day and ask for the paymas- ter. I did so, and the paymaster took me in hand. A boy learns a good deal about obey- ing orders before he’s on board ten minutes. There’s not much ceremony used when he’s told to ‘Stand up!’ ‘Sit down!’ ‘Mind your eye!’ The ter asked my name, some Other questions, andthen took me to the surgeon for the physical examination. I was the only boy who applied that day, so I had the surgeon all to myself, and he made me undress and thumped my ribs and looked allover me with glasses. But he neglected one thing. I was very near-sighted, and, in- deed, had a pair of spectacles in my pocket at that minute. Ofcourse I did not dare to put them on, and if he had examined my eyes I should have been a goner; but he didn’t. **When the surgeon was done with methe paymastef took meagain and gave me the mental examination. I was not afraid of this, for I was fresh out of school. He made me read to him, write for him and asked me a few. simple questions in arithmetic, geography and grammar that nearly any boy could answer. Then hetold meto go home and come back in twoor threedays. 1 did not Know yet whether I had passedor not, but went back on the second day and found that it wasallright. They had me sign arti- cles and take the oath, which, I believe, had something in it about ‘my being over 2] years old, but there was somuchinit and the man read itsofast thatI didn’t under- stand the half. ‘*I belonged to the ship now, and they took me in hand right off and assigned me a place in the watch and mess, and gave me a num- ber. My number was 1,493, but in calling the numbers they always drop the thousand and call it 498, The watch and mess business was all Greek to me, for I had never been on the water before; but I understood when they took my measure for three suits of white duck clothes and one suit ofnavy blue. That was high style fora beginner; they didn’t keep ready-made clothes, but the ship’s tailor takes every boy’s measure and makes his clothes specially for him, These clothes were charged to me, the money to be taken out of my pay. I was enlisted for three years at$i2amonth. Aftera boy gets his clothes they don’t let him ashore much in New York for fear he might skip. : ‘*After [ was measured for the clothes, they got me out a clothes-bag, hammock and ditty-box, all numbered 1493. The ditty-box is a little wooden box about a foot square and sixorseven inches high, It is to keep al your nick-Knacksin, suchas brush and comb, and money ifyouhappento have any. Itis the only place a naval ayprentice has to keep his things, except his clothes-bag. Besides the hammock, they gave mea mattress and one blanket, but said if I wanted a pillow I’d haveto bring it myself. ‘*It was a Friday afternoon when I signed the articles, and I guess that brought me bad luck. The other boys began to guy me as soon asthey had a chance. They do that with all newcomers. There were about sixty- five boys, and each one haa some ttrick of his own to play on a greenhorn. One of them told me the Master-at-Arms said I was to bring down a ring-bolt off the upper deck. Ring-bolts are used to lash the cainon to in action, and aithough they will turn around they will mot pullout. I screwed at one try- ing to get it out, tillthe officer of the deck gave Measlap over the head and drove me away. They didn’t play a great many tricks on me, because, you know, New York boys are pretty fy. The greenies that come in from the country havetocatchit. We had only one colored vk Bill Jackson; but there were @ great many Irish, though all born in this cou ers **At6:30 that first day, and every day, we were called down on the gun deck to supper. Every boy had his tin pannikin, and got a latiefulof applejack. wut don’t let your mouths water; applejack on a training-ship is not apple brandy, but stewed diried apples. We had a mess of this and tea and bitter and every boy gota loaf of bread. This loaf of bread ig a day’s supply, for supper to-night and breakfast and dinner to-morrow. If you eatall poss bread to-day, no bread to-mor- row tillsupper time, After supper they lit the smoking lamp and left it burning till 8:45. The smoking lamp fs not called se because it smokes. It isa small light left burning for the boysto light their pi can smoke, then, as muc chew, too. The oP rge it to you, bu lot ont poard with em. **At 8:45 we were sent upto the main deck ry es, an will furnish tobaccoand most of the boys bring a for = honed ane then came the order: (Tasteless—Effectual.)

Every new boy falls outof his hammock afew times before he gets the hangof it, and Iwas no exception. There is no guying on the gun-deck after the smoking lamp is’ _ out, for the Master-at-Arms -is there to seep the boys in order. **At6o’clock next morning (that was Sat- urday morning) we got the order ‘Up all hammocks,’ and that started the day’s busi- ness. A hose wasrunouton the main deck and weall went up and wasbed our hands and faces, and about 7 o’clock we were called downto breakfast. For breakfast we had Ssalt-beef hash, coffee and butter, and as much off our loaf of bread as we chose, But you musn’t- imag- ine that salt-beef on “board - ship is anything like corned beef onshore. It’s supposed to be made the same way, butit’sa very different article, rather too tough to chew and most too hardtocut. After break- fast more hose was laid down, and one watch of boys scrubbed the main deck, while the other watch scrubbed the gun deck. The decks are always kept white enough to eat = of, and they take a great deal of scrub- ng. ‘*Dinner came at 12 o’clock, and I may as well give you the bill of fare of alldinners instead of describing just this one. There is nearly always either slumgullion or . lob- scouse,and every Thursday there is plum duff. Slumgullion is made of old soup, meatand potajoes mixed together and tastes like old hammocks. Thecoffee is said ta be made of bootlegs and it tastes so. Lobscouse is hard. tack, salt horse with salt and pepper, and milk if there happens to be any, all chopped upand cooked together. Salt horse is the sea na me for salt pork. Plum duff is boiled dough, likea big dumpling with molasses poured over it. The cook offers a standing reward of $itoany boy who findsa plum, but he never bas to pay.’’ This was the life abroad the Minnesota while she lay atthe footof West Twenty- sixth street and the fare and hours were not altered when at-sea. ‘There were occasional trips into the rigging for practice and other work enough to occupy the time, and on Sat- urday as many boys as could got shore leave lor over Sunday. ‘The Minnesota then sailed down the Sound to Newport after three weeks of this preparatory training. **At Newport,’’ the young naval appren- tice continues, ‘‘fifty of us were transferred to the New Hampshire—nearly all New York- ers. Wethought we were quite old sailors by thistime, fornone of us got sick going down the sound. In two or three days the New Hampshire went to New Lon- don for stores and to make ready for sea, We got there on a. Friday and on Saturday most of the boys and the crew got leave to go ashore. When the men came aboard on Sunday they were most- ly drunk, but not too drunk to walk. The fol- lowing Thursday we salled for Fayal, in the Azores. Mostofus knew the names of the Diaces we were going to, but half the boys did not know whether the places were in Africa or Greenland. They did not care much either as longasthe gruod and tobacco heid out. ‘‘Now our real sea work began. In my first two hours on watch I was the first top- sail yard lookout, and had to climb tothe crosstrees and sit there two hours watching for sails.. I managedto get up there some- how, but we were off Point Judith ina heavy sea, and the boys all very sick. I was as bad as any of them, and the Increased motion at the masihead made me worse. I had not strength enough to hold on, but braced my arms and legs as Wellas I could. It was a good thing nothing happened in sight, forl was too sick to report it. When I was re- Heved from watch I got down somehow, but on deck J could not stand, and fell right over —‘*'a dead man,’’ as they call anybody who is too seasick to move. They picked me up and carried me below and put me ina ham- mock, and there I lay tor twodays and nights, wishing myself back home or anywhere but on the sea. I was not the only ‘dead man;’ more than half the boys were laid out, though not allas badly as Iwas. My hammock hung right before.one of the deadiights, and the first night at sea the deadlight opened. I don’t Know whether anybody opened it for a trick on meor not, but I think they were all too sick to be play- ing pranks. I was asleep, and asthe ship was lying well over, the deadlight was way under water, andthe water poured over me as if a sluice had been opened. Itsoon woke me up and I began to yell, Dut I was too weak to get out of the hammock. Some of them came and shut the deadlight, but it made quite a commotion in the ship. ‘‘On the third morning the master-at-arms pulled meoutof the hammock. ‘Getoutabout your work,’ said he; ‘you’re not a dead man any more, and you’ll never bea dead man again. it’sallovernow.’ But he was mis- taken, for I was sick several times after that, though I was all right for the time. ‘*?Yhat day I got my first. punishment, and I must tell you something about the punish- ments. I wasthe first topsail yard lookout again, and it was my business torgport every sailor anything elseI saw. That was easy work for me, because I could not see any- thing more than ten yards off. If i couid have put on my spectacles I should have been ali right, but l was afraid to do-it. A nice picture a topsail-yard lookout in a pair of spectacles would be! A sail was reported from the bow, but as I] had not seen it and, of course, had not reported it, I was calied down. ‘* as ' “ - J a ea yt _ Aye ra oe 4 -~ : 3 Puli Or i. s 2 ae *, ‘ f Bows J E Se o ga Si vite = a d ‘zg. : .

We were allowed ashore therea great deal, and hada bettertime in Lisbon than anywhere else. The boys were free to doas they liked on shore, anu after we leftthe doctor had plenty of work, for we were out in the night alra great deal and some ofthe boys drank too much spirits. The brigis a sure cure for drunkenness—until the next port is reached. ‘*From Lisbon we went to Gibraltar, where we stayed six days, till the 2d of July. We were provided with passes to go through thé fortifications, and the people were very kind tous. Onthe’ 2d of July we sailed for Taa- gier, where we arrived on the Fourth. There we were quarantined on account of sickness at Gibraltar and were not allowed to land. But we celebrated the Fourth of July on board, and had foot races and sack races and a pie-eating match. Wehad plum duffthat day, but the reward for finding a pium was taken off, and we actually had some plums in it. ‘*From Tangier we went*td Maderia in about five days. We were quarantined there also, but the American Consul got us released and we were allowed ashore. We were in Madeira for fourorfive days, and the crew were drunk most of the time, or as many of them ascould get ashore. Wine was so cheap there that if a man hada quarter he could get as drunk as he chose. We found an American mission there, where the ladies were very kindtous. Wecould get a square mealatany time at the mission, but had to take pravers and tracts for dessert. ‘*‘My birthday came along after we left Madeira, and the ship celebrated it. We were in a terrible storm, the first bad one we had seen, and we thought for some hours we were going down. But we came through all right, and a few days laterI saw my first burialat seu. It was the smartest and hana- somest boy inthe ship. He had wealthy re- lationsin New York, and hoped to be ap- pointed tothe Navy Academy at Annapolis, after making this voyage. A few hours atter he died they sewed the body up in canvas, with some shot to sink it, and dropped it overboard. Thecaptaitn read the Episcopal burial service, and of course We were allon deck. It was the most impressive sight I ever saw, and I sPall never forget it. ‘*From Madeira to the Straits of Magellan took us twenty-two days, and we were five days going through thestraits and seven or eight days morerunning up to Callao. By this time, like most of the boys,I had enough of the sea, and wished myself at home again. But wishing did no good. We did not know where we wereto go from Callao nor how long the voyaye was to last,and I had no idea of seeing New York again for a long time, But the first day we were at Callao I lieard some of the boys talking aboutan American bark in portthat wasto sall for home the nextday, and saying it was no use to send letters as she would be twiceas long at sea as the mall steamers. This put a new idea into my head, and I got permission to go ashore. ‘*1 found the captain of the American bark in Callao and learned that she was from Southwest Harbor, Me., and was golug home witha cargo of hardwood. I asked the cap- tain whether he would let me work my pas- sage home on her. He asked mea great many questions and seemed undecided, but at last he said: ‘‘Well, my boy, I can’t ship a lad in anavaluniform. But if an American boy were to come to mein plain clothes I might find something for him to doaboard the bark. She lies outin the gtream, though, and any boy who comes out to her had better come aiter dark. ‘“*[took the hint and bought some cheap lain clothes and thatnight went outto the ark, leaving everything I owned on boarJd the New Hampshire, including notonly my clothes, but a lot of things I had hbonght for presentsand a very good pipe that I felt sorry toleave. We sailed for Maine early the next morning, I being the ‘slop-jack’ or boy. of-all-work, specially all dirty work. ‘*That voyage home makes me sick to think of. It took ninety-two days and was harder inevery way than the voyage out. But it was going home, and that was a good deal. When we landed at Southwest Har. bor I walked over to Bar Harvor, eighteen miles, and went intoa.stylish restaurant to get a good meal, almost the only one fora year. Whenlsatdown at a tablea waiter came up to me and said: ‘‘If you want something to eat you can get it in the kitchen.’’ **Ain’t my money as good as anybody’s?’’ I asked. **tut it seems it wasn’t, for they took me into a small room by myself, for fear some of their stylish customers might see a sallor boy eating there. -I got a good square imeal, though, and goteven with them by them witha Brazillian dollar, Then downtothe steamship Olivette and asked Uap.

Watchmakers Say That Sudden Changes of Weather Are Dangerous to Them. ‘*Mainsprings are very much like people,’’ said a Broadway watchmaker the other day. ‘*‘They are as susceptible to extreme degrees of heat and cold as human beings. When the thermometer is hovering around the freezing point or dancing away up in the nineties the little mainspring will give upin disgust and uncoll itself and die, just as men succumpD to freezing or sunstroke.’’ The jjeweler said that on Monday, Aug. 1, he received seventy-nine watches to be fitted with new mainsprings. This was the Mon- day following the deadly hot spell of the last week in July. Other jewelers were seen, who reported greatly increased business because of broken mainsprings. This uncertain piece of mechanism is sup- posed to be adjusted to meet the various de- grees of temperature, but when the change is very great and comes with short notice there is nothing that can prevent them from snapping. They are made in Switzeriand of the very finest quality of steel, absolutely flawiess. Very oiten the watchmaker can detect a bad spring before putting itin the watch, elther by its color or the sottness of its spring. These have been too highly tempered in the making, and instead of ing subjected to merely a red heat the fire has been brought to white heat, those weakening the strength of the metal. The finest watches that are handled by reliable dealers are put through a ‘teooking and freezing’’ process before they are sold, forthe purpose or testing their re- liability in all temperatures. The watch is first placed ina lIttle metal box, which is made airtight. Thena strong gas-flame is turned on the under surface of the box and Is kept there for two or three hours so that the watch is so hot at the end of that time that it could not be touched with the bare hand. From this it is immedi- ately taken and put into another metallic box which is buried inice. There the costl watch is allowed to freezo for an equal len of time when its torture ceases and the ex- amination is made. If during this excessive test the watch appears to have ticked merrt- ly on without deviating a fractional part of a second it is placed back in the case and marked ‘‘guaranteed for two years.’’ The mainspring isthe first piece of mechanism that succumbs to the test. If it survives nothing elise need be feared. Main springs are, however, about the only part of a watch that the Jeweler cannot suc- cessfully diagnose. They can guarantee any of tue numberless littie wheels or pivots or balances that goto make up the anatomy of the watch, but the mainspring bas as yet baffied the most skilled makers of watches of alicountries, itis not so much the severe extremes of the weather that prove fatai to the springasit is the process of changing from hotto cold, or vice versa, Like the human frame If the rivbon-like little coil of steel can witnstand the effects of thig change it may be considered proof against aking wheu the change to normal weather comes. Many people who have been sessors of hew watches but a short time, come into the dealer’s with blood in their eyes, declaring that. they have paid an enormous price for the timepiece and the mainspring has broken after only a week’s use. **‘that is nothing,’’ remarked the jeweler. **We have them spapin our case before the watch has ever beea shown for sale.’’ Others imagine that they might have wound the watch too tight, but this does not barm it. It is rather the jerky, hurried winding that will eventually tell on the tem of the metal.

A severe thunder and lightning storm also frequently proved disastrous to ‘the durability of the spring, ‘the dealer who took In seyenty-nine watches on Aug. 1, said that last sunimer on aday immediately following a terribie elec- trical storm there were twenty-one watches t into his store within ove hours for new mainsprings.

. St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Sund \ - —e we "A KNIGHT OF CHIVALRY. —_ HOW LUCIUS ©’NEILL WON FAME IN WAR AND HIS WIFE'S DEVOTION AT | HOME. — | BY FLORENCE MARRYAT. Written for thd Suxpar Post-DispaTcH. Copyright. It wasatthe close of a lovely summer’s Gay that a girl was seated ona grassy knoll in @ garden in Devon, gazing pemsively and with just the suspicion of a tear ia her eye,at the scene before her. ' It was a beautiful prospect. In front were green pastures sloping down to the yellow sands, over which the creamy waves rah smoothiy to their own sweet, rippling music. To either side were rich fields and vegeta- tion, and the back ofthe cottage, to which the garden belonged, was protected by grand old trees, now in their fallest foliage. Over her head drooped a magnificent chestnut;and she sat there, surrounded by flowers of every hue, so generous is the warm mother earth in kindly Devon. But her sur- roundings had no power to marker beauty. Graceful and languid, with a supple figure and a fair face, from which her large hazel eyes looked forth like those of a startled deer, Cynthia Needham formed a fitting center- plece for the beauties of Nature that encom- passed her. She was dressed very simply, even poorly; but that circumstance seemed to make her uncommon beauty all the more startling. Her frock of Washed-out brown holland was such a contrast to the auburn hair that flowed loosely over it; her country shoes made the slenderness of the little feet stretcbed out upon the grass still more ap- parent. Indeed, few people would ever have looked twice at Cyntuia’s clothes who had looked once in Cynthia’s face, with its dell- cate features and perfect rose-leaf coloring. So evidently thought a young man who leaned against the trunk of the chestnut tree, and gazea down upon her,as shesat there with a tennis racquet in her hand, and kept her eyes fixed steadily upon the sea. ‘‘What a perfect summer we have had,’’ said Cynthia, presently, and with a little sigh, ‘‘there has not been a single contre- temps to mar our happiness, has there?’’ ‘*Not one,’’ replied Granville Mostyn, ea- geriy. ‘‘It has been quite remarkable. Not a rainy picnic, nor a postponed party, and no quarrels. It bas been the best time I have ever had. Fancy being obliged to leave it all!’’ ‘*Do you go very soon?’’ asked the girl. “The day after to-morrow. I would put it off if 1 could, but it is unavoidable. My mother is ill, amd my father says I have been absent toolong already. Indeed Ionly came with the intention of staying a fortnight at the castle. and I have stayed over two months. You know what has made it im- possible for me to tear myselfaway.’’ The girl colored faintly and replied: ‘You are sure to return, some day’’’ ‘‘It depends on .you whether I do so, Cynthia.’’ ‘ . ‘*Upon me?——’’ ‘“‘Of course. You cannot pretend not to have seen my feelings for you—not,I may say, to have given mea little encouragement in return. What does allthe happiness of our meetings; the depression during our separa- tion; the bliss of being together mean, if it does not mean—Love!’’ ? ‘‘Oh, stop, Granville—Mr. Mostyn—you must not speak to me like thaf.’’ ‘*But that is just how I must speak to you— how lam bound tospeak to you,’’ replied the young man, as he threw himself on the grass beside her, and got po@®session of her hand. ‘‘Cynthia! you know I love you, Every look of my eyes for the last month has told youso. Whatare you going to give me in return?’’ ‘*Ican give you nothing. It is ungenerous toask me. You know that I am already en- gaged to be married.’’ ‘*‘To a man you don’t care for. It is a mar- riage that must never be. Give me the as- surance of your love, and that matter Is easily disposed of.’’ ‘‘It is impossible—it cannot be. O’ Neil would never release me.’’ ‘‘Then he must bea cad, and you must re- lease yourself. You haven’t seen the fellow for a year, and most likely you will never see him again. Say you will be my wife, and Mr. Needham will see that Capt. O’Nell does not annoy you further.’’ ( ynthia looked terribly alarmed. ‘*You must not speak to papaaboutit. He would be dreadfully angry with me. Heig very fond of Lucius O’Neil, and thinks the world of him.’’ ‘*‘And you think nothing of me, appa- rently,’’ said young Mostyn, turning away with a look of offense. ‘*‘O, indeed I do, Granville. More, a great deal, than Iought. I am avery unhappy girl,’’ replied Cynthia weeping. His answer was to get closer to herand kiss her cheek. She colored violently, and moved away from him. She was not angry, but she was powerfully moved. What was Lucius Q’Neil, far away with his regiment in the Soudan, toher at that moment, compared with this handsome, fascinating Granville Mostyn, who had been dangling about her allthe summer. Her blushes and her silence emboldened the young man. ‘*‘Be brave, my darling,’’ he whispered. ‘*Rreak off this hateful engagement und let us be all in all to one another.’’ ‘*If Lonly could,’’ sighed Cynthia. ‘*There’s nothing easier. Noone can com- pelyou to marry aman against your will, Write and say you are sick of waiting for him, and-won’t waitany longer. If he’s got any pride he won't worry you after that.’’ Of, Granville, you tempt me so hardly,’’ Capt. _ ghe began when the voice of her father was heard calling her name. The young people rose to their feet, and Cynthia brushed her tears away as she ad- vanced to meet the old wan. **Hello, he exclaimed, in a not particularly cotdial voice, as he caught sight of Mostyn. ‘*You are here, are you? ‘‘Now, Cynthia,’’ he continued, to his daughter, ‘*say good-bye to your friend and go in to your mother. She’s been wanting you for the last hour;’’ . andat this broad hint Granville Mostyn was obliged to bid them voth farewell and turn his face toward the Castle. ‘*What’s that young fellow loafing about here for?’’ inquired Mr. Needham, some- what surlily, ashe Walked back to the cottage with his daughter, ‘‘He seems an idle, good- for-nothing young gentleman. He had bet- ter not let Lucius catch him dangling after you—that’s all—or he’ll not have a whole bone left in his body.’’ ‘*@, papa! how can you say such things?’’ exclaimed Cynthia, indignantly. ‘*Mr. Mostyn is going home the day after to-mor- row. ’? ‘*Allthe better,’’ returned the old man, brutally as it seemed to her, though she dare not say so. : The Needhams were not rich, and Cynthia was theironly child, consequently she was alwost always in their presence, and had lit- tle time for brooding by herself. They were ' very proud of her engagement to.Captain in consequence of the Granville Mostyn’ episode) they alluded to it so frequently and with such self-congratulation during the next two days that Cynthia grew sick of his name, She was battling terribly with herself, poor ehila, during the interval before Mr. Mostyn’s departure, longing to accede to all he had asked her and yet feeling that honor forbade her doing so until she “had proken of the engagement between Lucius O’Nell and herself. They had one more private interview before Granville left Devon, during which he renewed his pro- testations of devotion, and assured her that if she once wrote to bim that she was free, he would fiy to her sidé to claim the fulfil- ment of the promjse which, though she would he could read in her tearful not give Bim. er O'Neill, and (perhaps y parted and Cynthia nearly blind over it, and was ‘ask him to set her free. so afraid of her parents discovering the cause of her emotion, that she was obliged under the plea of a violent attack of nevral- gia to keep her room for the rest of the day. There she pondered over the situation unt Granville Mostyn’s image, grown so much more desirable through the pain of separa- tion, entirely eclipsed that of Lucius O'Neil, and she resolved towrite tothe latter and lt was an extremely honest letter—almost too much soe. She did not spare herself nor her new lover, but told Capt. O’Nell the whole truth—how she had almost forgotten him and quite got over her first vehement, and, as she had thought, life-long affection—more, had fixed her heart and soul on Granville Mostyn, without whom she felt convinced she could not be happy. Andshe, therefore, begged of Lu- clus to release her from an engagement which she was resolved never to ful- fll. When Cynthia had completed this epistle, she carried it to the post herself, without saying a word to anybody, and felt an enormous satis-- faction in hearing it drop tothe bottom of the letter-box. She was much’ happier after it was gone. She counted the days !t would take to reach the Soudan, and in how many more Capt. O’Neil’s answer would be in her hands, and she free to accept the Jove of Granville Mostyn. She grew brighter and more cheerful under the influence of herown thoughts and never seemed to consider, through how much pain to poor Capt. O’ Nell her happiness was to be obtained. **You’re looking very bonnie, my gir),’’ ob- served Mr. Needham, admiringly, about a month after she had posted her letter, and when she was daily hoping to receive a re- ply. ‘‘And I’ve some news to make you look bonnier still. There’s been fignting in the Soudan, and our Luclus has distingaished himself above everybody. The papers are full of it. He stormed a fort with his company and led a foriorn hope for which no other man would volunteer. He'll have a Victoria Cross to hang round your pretty throat when he returns, Cynthia. Won’t you be proud ot your soldier then?’’ The girl did not reply except by coloring gg BRervousness, but her mother did for er. | “If anything were to happen to prevent Cynthy’s marriage with Lucius 0’ Nell,’’ she said, *‘it would break my heart.’’ ‘*Why! what should happen, mother?’’ **O! it'll be all right enough if the dear lad reaches home, I know, but these terrible dangers he is passing through make me shudder. Heissobrave!so intrepid. Sup- pose he should fall. Ishould never get over it. It’sthe hope of my life to see him and Cynthia man and wife.’’ **And so you will,as soon as the war is over, mother. Don’t croak Hike that and frighten the girl out of her wits. She turned as whiteasasheet. Neveryou mind, Cyn- thia. Lucius is safe enough, and you should rejoice to hear of his bravery. I shouldn’t wonder ifhe made you ‘My Lady’ yet. He’ll be a husband to be proud of.’’ **Papa,’’ said Cynthia, in ai trembling voice, ‘‘what is the date of this news?’’ **About a fortnight back—butit came by tel- egram from Alexandria. Iknow what you're thinking of, Pussy. You want to havg a let- ter from Lucius himself. Well, I dare say you'll get it before long, but private corre- spondence is oftendelayed in time of war. lic’s well or they would dave said to the con- trary. There’s no cause for fear.’’ What would the old man _haive said had he known that her only cause for fear was lest the young hero had not received the letter which was destined to crust all his hopes with respect to herself. **Ah!’’ cried Mr. Needham suddenly, asa lady passed the cottage window ‘‘there is Miss Parton. We must tell her our news. No one will carry it sooner over the whole village.’’ He tapped on the window- pane as he spoke, and Miss Parton, turning, saw him and came quickly in. *‘*My dear Miss Parton, we have received such happy news. Capt. O’Nelil is mentioned in the Gazette as having been a_ perfect hero in the last engagement, and performed prodigies of valor. Qur Cynthia is so proud of him, as well she may be. Maj. Jenkins says he is sure to receive the Victoria Cross, I am sure you will be glad to hear such ex- cellent accounts of him.’’ **I congratulate you with all my heart, Mr, Needham. Cynthia, my love, letme give you akiss. You will be a very happy wife when the warisover, and I hear there is every prospect of its speedy termination. Well, this seems to bea lucky day for Dovecot. I am carrying a letter of congratulation to my sister to the post now—my sister, Mrs. Wel- landof Weymouth. She has written mein high spirits to say that her daughter, Dolly, who is quite the beauty of Weymouth, has just become engaged to young Mr. Mostyn, who was here this summer, It seems that my niece was a great favorite with Mr. Mostyn’s mother, who fs an invalid, and when the young man arrived in Wey- mouth he found her staying in his parents’ house, and as they were both youngand good looking and heart-whole, the usual conse- quences ensued. And the best of it is that the Mostyns are so delighted with the mar- riage that is to take place almost immedi- ately.’’ ‘*O! Heavens!’’ exclaimed Mrs. Needham, suddenly, ‘‘what has come to our Cynthia?’’ They all turned at once to the girl, who was lying back in a dead faint in her chatr. ‘*Our glorious news has been too much for the dear child; she is overcome by happi- ness. I will leave her tothe care of you two ladies,’’ said Mr. Needbam, ‘‘and, when she survives, mother, take hertoher room and let her lie down tillshe is more accustomed to the proud position in which spe finds her- self.’’ It was indeed a proud position for poor Cynthia to wake to the consciousness that she had sent a letter to Lucius O’ Nell, confessing all her weak affectiion for a man who had de- serted her forthe first pretty face which he had come across. Her pride came so far to her relief that she forbore to weep over the loss of so unworthy a lover as Granville Mostyn, but from the hour she heard of his infidelity her life was one oftorture. A thou- sand times she was onthe point of confess- ingtoher fond old parents what she had done, but their delight in her supposed pros- pects prevented her. It was misery fo hear them dilate on their happiness in her ap- proaching marriage and their affection for her future husband, whilst she remembered the self-condemnatory and heartless letter which must be already in his hands. It was torture to think of Lucius’ return, to Hsten to the prophecy of a speedy termina- tion to the war, What sort. of a home coming would her lover’s be, but one of shame and reproach and general lamentation. Yet she had not the courage to curb her father’s or mother’s genuine delight by: telling them the truth. The most she could do wasto prevent Mrs. Needham getting her trousseau ready in anticipation of Capt, O’Nell’s return, by re- minding her that such a proceeding was said to be unlucky. Meanwhile, she had re- celved no answer to~-her letter, at which she concluded Lucius was too angry to reply, but she started at every shadow think- ing it was the fatal missive and that the time had come for the discovery of her secret. The suspense and regret made Cynthia grow thin and pale, and her parents were talking of taking her tothe seaside whenan event happened to preventit. She was sitting list- lessly in the parlor with her hands folded itn herlapin the dusk of a September evening, when the door opened behind her, Her mother, who was knitting stockings op- posite to her, glanced up through her spec- tacles and gave a cry of surprise which brought Oynthia to her feet. She turned and saw two figuresin the doorway, but before | she could realize who they were, one stepped | hastily forward and folded her in his arms, while a loud laugh from the other revealed the identity of her father. ‘‘My Cynthia! my dearest, sweetest Cyn- thia,’’? murmured the voice of Luctus O’Neil in her ear, as his lips restedon her own, ‘*T have only lived for this happy moment.”’ “Is it Lucius?’’ cried the old lady, jumping up and letting all her «knitting fall upon the ground. **Aye! isn’t it Lucius?’* responded her hus- band, chuckling. ‘‘I thought we would sur- prise yon, mother. Imet him walking over from Meléombe Statiom. He says he was in too great a hurry to get time to write.’’ ‘*Yes! yes! we only landed yesterday, and as soon ag I could get leave I started for Dove- cot,’’ said Capt. O'Neil, shaking hands with Mrs. Needham, andthen heturned to Cyn- thia and whispered, ‘‘My dearest love! how perfectly happy lam now.’’ Cynthia was bewildered. She looked from her lover to her parents and burst into a fit of hysterical weeping. What did it all mean? Why did he speak so kindly to her? Was this his answer to the cruel letter she had sent him? But Capt. O’Nell continued to talk happily, and his eyes continued to beam whenever they turned in her direction, until she almost for- got the punishment in store for her, and ventured to look ather flanceinreturn. He was certainly a goodly man to look upon. lie had left Englanaa year before, a hand- some youth, but traveland time and experi- ence had transformed him toa stalwart and noble-looking man, Ais face was bronzed by the Eastern sun, and bearded like a pard, but his blue eyes were as kindly as ever, and his smileassunny and open as that ofa child. Cynthia compared him mentally with Gran- ville Mostyn, and could not help acknowl- edging that,he gained by it. She had deeply lamented herrashness in sending him her letter of dismissal before, and now she felt as if she would give her life torecallit. She De- lieved that Lacius was restraining his indig- nation, indeference tothe presence of her parents, and shbé was so nervous of what he would say to her when alone, that a3 500n as Mr.and Mrs. Needham left them together she dashed through sheer fright into the sub- ject herself. **Lucius! you received my letter of course?’’ **What letter, my darling?’’ ‘**The one dated the eleventh of June.’’ **The ejeventh of June? Let me see; I am not sure. What was in it?’’ ‘**Oh, nothing particular—that is, it was a very long one, and ——’’ **Whatashamel should have missed it, and when all your letters were so precious to me. The eleventh of June, you say. By Jove! it must have come by the Orion. She carried dispatches of the eleventh.’’ **And you had none from me?’’ Cynthia. ‘*‘None from anybody, dearest. The poor Orion sank on a hidden rock before she reached Alexandria, and all the mails went down with her.’’ ae letters were lost!’’ criea Cynthia,joy- fully.”’ ‘*Of course they were lost, love. They lie atthe bottom of the sea, full fifty fathoms deep.’’ ‘‘Oh, lam so glad,’’ exclaimed the girl, involuntarily. *‘*What makes you glad? missed one of your letters, even though youinmyarms. But what was in it? tell me.’’ **No; don’t ask. sorry Ihad written it. thing else,’’ replied Cynthia, and Capt. O’Neil was not uawilling to obey her. The load that was lifted from her mind by this in- formation gave her such relief that she made no further objection to any of her parents’ proposals. Lucius O’Nell had to go back- wards and forwards to London several times on business, andtorecelve his well-merited rewards, but he made Dovecot his head- quarters, and the wedding was to take place before Christmas, And during that brief interval Cynthia seemed to read and appreciate the character of her future husband as she had never done before. She was amazed at her previous blindness. How could she have so totally forgotten all Lucius’ goodness and bravery and self-control? Why. he was worth a thousand Granville Mostyns. She blushed with shame to think how nearly she had lost him through her weakness, and thanked Providence who had interfered to prevent her reaping the fruits of her folly. By the time the wedding day arrived, her first affection for Lucius O’Neil ‘had revived with tenfold intensity, and no bride ever pronounced her vowsat the altar with a fuller intention of keeping them than did Cynthia Needham, Aftera few weeks spent at Nics and Mentone, Luctus O’Nell was obliged to rejoin his regi- ment, then oauartered at Woolwich, and brought his pretty wife home in triumph. At the very first ball she attended after her marriage she encountered Mr. and Mrs. Granville Mostyn who had come down from London for the purpose. Cynthia felt nerv ous and somewhat &shamed, but Mr. Mostyn introduced his wife to her and asked herto dance with all the nonchalance in the world. He praised her husband and paid compli- ments to herself, and seemed to have for- gotten there had ever been any episode of a tenderer nature between them. Cynthia felt that reticence was the wiser course to pur- sue, but she despised him for it. ‘*‘Where did you become acquainted with that fellow Mostyn?’’ asked Luclus of her as they were driving home together. Cynthia felt her cheeks grow hot. **Down at Dovecot,’’ she answered. was staying atthe castle last summer, married a niece of Miss Parton.’’ **Well! Ihope he’ll be good to her, but he doesn’t bear the best of characters. He is what we men call ‘a loose fish.’ I dare say his people were glad enoughto get him mar- ried. Don’t be too intimate with him, my darling.’’ ‘*Oh! no! Lucius, I won’t. I don’t wish to,’’ she faltered, as she laid her burning face upon his shoulder. Everything went well with the young couple after this, and Cynthia. was ready to vote herself the very happiest and: most fortunate of wives until one day her husband looked up from the perusal of his morning paper with a shout. ‘*Hullo. Here’sa lark, Cynthy. They’ve raised the wreck ofthe poor old ‘Orion,’ and all the mails, though much damaged by sea water, willbe sentonatonce. I shall learn the contents of that luckliess letter of yours at iast.’’ Cynthia turned as white as a ghost, but managed to keep her face well behind the tea-urn. ‘ ‘‘What did you say, Lucius?’’ mered. ‘‘The ‘Orion’ letters are coming on. I shall know allyour foolishness now, young lady. Youthought you were quite safe by this time, doubtiess, but, you see, ‘your sin has found you out.’ I wonder how soon it will arrive?’’ He laughed gaily as he rallied her, and quitted the room, leaving his unfortunate wife ina state bordering on despair, What should shedo now? How could she prevent his receiving the confession of her folly—a confession which even at this period might rupture all the sweet peace and confi- dence that existed between them. And Lucius had been so good to her since their marriage—so full of trust and love, so unselfish and so indulgent. The unhappy girl felt as if she could not exist if such happiness Were withdrawn from her. From the moment she heard the fatal news she was always listening for the post- man’s knock and running down to intercept tre servant’s movement to thedoor. Her eyesassumed an anxious, fearful expres- sion. Her ears were strained to catch every sound. Lacius looked at her once or twice inquisitively, He could not think what had come to his gay and girlish wife. And Cynthia meanwhile was pondering what she should say and what excuse she could make for hereelf when he had learned the terrible truth. Would he refuse to let her live with him? Would he send her back to Dovecot, branded as an imposter, who had eer him, pretending to love him, whilst inquired Iam sorry to have hold Come! It was a silly letter. I was Let us talk of some- **He He she stam- was lying atthe bottom of tne sea? These thoughts made her 80 feverish and absent, and unlike herself, that Lucius began to fear she was going to be tl and fondied and ca- ressed her somucDin cconsequence that her self-accusing conscience stung her a hundred times more than before. At jast one day, a8 she was wondering when her wretched sus- pense would be over, her husband entered the room, laughing and holding a stained en- velope high above his head. **I’ve got-it,’’ he cried, gaily, ‘‘the *Orlon’ letters were all sent to the mess-house, and I brought mine home, that I might have the pleasure of reading it alond to you.. Now, Mrs. O’Neil. Attention. The whole of your foolishness will be dished up for your own edification, andI trust will bea warning to you, never to write lettersthat you will be ashamed to see again.’ . He was proceeding in the. same jesting strain, when Cynthia’s appearance brought him toa sudden stop. She hadrisen from her chair, and was standing before him with a white face and strained eyes, full of abject fear and misery, ‘*‘My darling! what is the matter?’’ he ten- derly exclaimed, ‘*Don’t read that letter!’’ she gasped, **Don’t open it, for heaven’s sake, till you have heard me speak.’’ ‘‘I will not open itatall,’’ he said, ashe laid it on the tabie, ‘‘if it is to give you pain.’’ **No! Lucius!-that must not be, forif so you will loseall confidence in me for the fut- ure. But let me break it to you—and then, when you have heard.my story, you must do as you think fit.’’ She sank on her Knees before him as she spoke, but her husband raised her and made her sit on his knee. ‘*Tell me all, my sweetheart,’’ hé whis- pered, ‘‘do not be afraid—nothing can sepa- rate us now but your own will. Weare one, remember.’’ ‘‘But if I have done something you can never forgive, Lucius?’’ ‘*That is impossible!’’ Ne answered grave- ly, ‘‘only tell me why I must not read this letter.’’ **I wrote it ina moment of madness,’’ she answered, with a hidden face, ‘‘you had been away so long, darling, I had almost for- gotten you—and some one else came after me and persuaded me that he could make me happier than you would if I would only break my engagement with you.’’ **And this letter was to break it off?’’ **In thatletterI told you everything as I thought it was. My own feelings and vishes, the nameof the manwho had supplanted you—my desire to be free. It is a cruel, heartless letter. If you once read it you will hever care for me again.’’ **You almost tempt metoreadit, dearest, that I may prove to youthat you are wrong. Why shouid notI carefor you again?. Do you feellfke that now? Would you write this letter to-day?’’ **O! Lucius! how can you ask me? know I love you.’’ “I do know it—not from protestations, written or otherwise, but from every look of your eyes, my Cynthia—every action of your life—which are the only true tests of love. Nothing youcan have thought or writtena yearago would have any influence with me against the experience ofthe love you have shown me since our happy marriage. Ionly pity the man who had notthe power to hold you,’’ *‘No! no! He isnot worthy of your pity, or my regard. I knew that long before you re- turned home. And if you love me, Lucius, and trust me as you say, read the letter, and I will be content to bear the consequences. ’’ She hid her face from him again as she spoke and Lucius O’Neil put out his hand and took the letter off the table. Cynthia shuddered as she observed the action. Lucius had been very heroic whilst speak- ing of it, but what would he say when he read the actual words wiich she had writ- ten? Might not this be the beginning of the end of sll her married happiness? She glanced up fearfully. Her husband held the sea-stained envelope in his band and was ex- amining the superscription. * ‘*Poor little Jletter,’’ he said sweetly; ‘*how many tears it cost my girl to write you, and how much she must have suffered on your account since. Why did you not lie for- ever, fullfifty fathoms deep? It fs like digging a child up from its grave again to bring you to the surface to cause all this distress. There, goand restforever. You shall never give my darling wife q@ moment’s pain again,’’ ; And so saying be threw the unopened letter on the fire in the grate, and watched it shrivel into ashes. ‘*Lucius,’’’ erled Cynthia, starting from his Knee, ‘‘you have not read it.’’ ‘*‘No, my wife, lhave not read it. I have no wishto do so. Itcannot tell me more than you have told yourself, and it might come like a scandal-monger from the pastto raise unpleasant thoughts where none need exist. You love me; I trust you. Those words make the ultimatum of felicity for husband and wife. And when we have reached the ultimatum we can go no higher. Forget this luckless letter, darling, as Ihave forgotten it. Let the remembrance be buried in the happiness of our mutual love.’’ Cynthia threw herself in his arms. ‘*Oh, Lucius! youare too good—too noble! There is no other man in the world like you.’’ ‘‘Not for you, I hope, sweetheart. But don’t exaggerate my good qualities, or some day I maybe come a ‘cropper’ in your estima- tion. Ithink only this; that as I am not per- fection, Ihave noright toexpect perfection in my wife, and that for every fault either of us commit, the best plea we can have here (as it will be the only plea hereafter) is that we repent of it.’’ And yet the world says sometimes, that it cannot see what there isia Lucius O’ Nell, to make his wife so devoted to him, and that it really cannot admit that he fs better looking or better behaved than any other man. And the world, of course, must be right. FLORENCE MARRYAT. You a _——_ -—- — — — AN AMAZING INVENTION, Start Your Trotter ani the Sulky Will Do the Rest. From the Santa Rosa Republican. A well-known Santa Rosa horseman has a scheme for trotting horses which promises to beat the ‘‘scoot’’ track all to pieces as an important factor in aiding a horse to obtain a fast record. He ts planning a sulky that will not only run itself, but will push the horse along a bit, too. He says itis to be builton the planof the watch, Ii will have big cell springs to drive the wheels, and he con- tends that it will revolutionize trotting. Right under the driver’s seat the springs will be lo- cated, andit is his intention to have things so nicely adjusted that when he wishes to go a 2:10 gait ali he will have to do is to set it at the 2:10 figure and it willdo the rest. When wound upthe sulky will ron one mile anda halt. A very clever feature of the sulky is the self-winding apparatus. By simply touching a little spring near his stirrup the driver can make the wheels wind up the spring, and by a hagd device he can throw them out “> gear when the indicator tells him that the spring has been wound up to the proper tension.

THE LITTLE SOLDIERS. — TRAGIC ROMANCE OF LUC AND JEAN AND THE MILK-MAID., Translated for the SUNDAY POsT-DISPATCH. Every Sunday, the moment they were free, the two little soldiers sct out. After leaving the barracks they turned to the right, went through Courbevoie with long, quick steps as though they were on a march; then more slowly they followed the dusty highway which leads on to Bezons, . Under their stiff, high shakos their faces looked like mere nothings—two hollow Httle Breton faces, simple, with an almost childish simplicity, and with blue eyes which were gentie and quiet. On arriving at the first clump of trees this side of Bezons, Lucle Sanides every Sunday cuta switch of hazel and peeled its bark from it gently, thinking meantime of the folk at home. ® Jean Kerderen carried the provisions. They found the two bricks which they always hid inthe thicket and they. kindled a little fire of brauches, over which they roasted their blood pudding at the end of a bayonet. And when they had eaten their breakfast they remained seated side by side upon the gtass; saying nothing, their red legs stretched out beside the poppies of the field. Anéd the leather of their shakos and the brass of their buttons glittered in the ardent sun. About mid-day they looked from time to time in the direction of the village of Kezons, because the girlwith the cow was coming. She passed themevery Sunday on her way to milk, They never talkedabout her. They were glad to see her, without understanding why. She was big, with red hair, burned by the heat of sunny days, a great, sturdy wench of the environs of Paris, Once finding them seated in the same place, she said: **Good-morning. hero, aren’t you?’? Luc le Sanides, the boldest, stammered, **We come to rest.’’ She wenton, butcame back soon with a pailful of milk; she stopped and said: **Would you likea drop? It will taste like home,’’ With her instinctive feeling that they were of the same peasant race as she, being herself also faraway from home, perhaps, she had divined and touched the spot. Then she went away, calling back: by tlil next Sunday.’’ They thought of her all the week; several times they even spoke of her. The next Sun- Gay she sat down with them for alittle longer talk; and all three, seated side by side, their eyes lost In the distance, clasping their knees with their hands, told the small doings, the minute details of their life in the villages where they had been born, while over there the cow, seeing that the milk-maid had stopped on her way, stretched out towards her its heavy head and gave a long low to call her back. The wirl’s presence sharpened the wits of the two little Breton soldiers and they chattered like two Dirds. But on Thursday Luc le Sanides asked for leave—a thing which had never happened be- fore, and he did not return until 12 o’clock at night. Jean racked his brain, and felt uneasy at his companion going out in this way, and when he set off with Jean on their Sunday walk his manner was very queer, quite rest- less and quite changed. Kerderen did not understand, but he vaguely suspected some- thing. Before long the girlappeared. As on every Sunday, they watched her coming. When she was quite near, Luc rose and made two steps forward, she put her milk-pall on the ground, and kissed him. She kissed him passionately, throwing her arms about his neck, without noticing Jean, without re- membering that he was there, without even seeing him, And he sat there desperate, he the poor Jean, so desperate that he did not under- Stand, his soul quite overwhelmed, his heart bursting, not yet expressing it all to himself, Then the gir! seated herself beside Luc and they began to chatter. They Kissed one another again before they separated and the girl went off after having thrown Jeana friendly ‘‘good-evening’’ and a smile which was fullof meaning. ‘To-day she no longer thought of offering him any milk. The two little soldiers sat side by side, mo- tionless as usual, silent and calm, their placid faces betraying nothing of all which troubled their hearts. The sun fell on them. Sometimes the cow lowed, looking at them from afar. At their usual hour they rose to go back. Luccutaswitch. Jean carried the empty bottle. He returned it to the wine-cellar at Bezons. Then they strolled out upon the bridge, and, as they did every Sunday, they stopped several minutes in the middle to watch the water flowing. Jean leaned, leaned more and more, over the iron railing, as though he saw in the cur- rent something which attracted him. Lue said: ‘‘Are youtryingtodrink?’’ Just as he uttered the last word Jean’s head over- balanced his body, his legs described a circle in the air, and the little blue and red soldier fellina lump, entered the water and disap- peared. Luc, his throat paralyzed with fear, tried toshout. Furthendown he saw something move; then the head of his comrade rose to the surface and disappeared. You two are always **Good- Further still he again saw a hand, a single | hand which issued from the stream and then plunged back. That was all. The barge-men who ran up did not find the body that day. GUY DE MAUPUSSANT, HOW THE KAFIR GETS DRUNK. He Does It Very Thoroughly With Dwhale —How It Is Made. Special Correspondence SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH. _ NATAL, South Africa, July 20.—The condition induced by unlimited dwhala ts the ordinary unchristianized Kafir’s conception of Para- dise. Kafir beer, or Gwhalaasitis called in the native, is of about the consistency of butter- miik and not unlike itin taste, the color be- ingalight brown of a pinkish shade. It makes natives intoxicated, but a European would find difficulty in drinking enough of it to affect him, as itis very filling. A Kafir’s capacity for dwhala rivals a German student’s for lager beer. Dawala is made from Umabela or Kafir corn, which grows on astalk to about the height of Indian corn,and resembles it in ap- earance. This stalk when matured bears a ong, slender flower onthe top, which after going to seed is apoyo and stripped, yielding @ small brownish kernel about half the size ofa pea. These kernels when dry are crushed with a stone and placed in water, where they are allowed tO remain twoor three days, The water is strained off and the corn is placed in the sun and dried till all the particles adhere in a solid mass, Then it is ready to be ground, which is done in the most primitive manner by rubbing the lumps on a large fiat stone until it is transformed into coarse meat. The meat is placed in an iron pot with some water and is cooked for two days, being stirred and skimmed occa- sionally.

SUNDAY POsT-DisPaTcH. Copyright. BUCK SHOALS, N. C., Aug, 18.—We have just completed a trip to Cesar’s Head, returning via Brevard. Itis one ofthe most delightful and soul-renovating trips one can well imag: ine. Cesar’s Head is situated at the summit of Cesar’s Head Mountain, an outlying spur of the Blue Ridge Mountains, in Greenville County, 8. C., and is 4,600 feet above the level of Arietta street, Tompkinsville, staten Isiand. In leaving Sst. Louis for Cmsar’s Head you cross the bridge and take the first right hand road. COmsar’s Head is 60 Called because of a peculiar shaped rock at the summit ofthe mountain, which bears a striking resemblance to nothing that has ever been seen before in the history of the world, either sacred or profane. Strictly speaking it is hardly a mountain, but rather an inclined plane terminating abruptly ina precipice 4,600 feet high, from On Casar’s Head. which one maysee the State of South Caro- lina and objects as small as Gov. Tillman. Objects more than 200 miles apart may be seen distinctly by means of the undraped eye. At C@sar’s Head there is a clean and com- modious hotel with a capacity of 200 guests. I Know of no more delightful pldce to remain in during the hot weeks of July and August. itisnotan exciting life, but it is healing, soothing and elevating. It is very rare that one finds a spot so nearly ideal, even in this ideal mountain country of the Blue Ridge. Very little crime is found here at C#sar’s Head and malaria cannot exist. Mineral springs occur here, as they are apt todo within a few yards of all summer hotels. They contain protoxide of tron, chlorine, magnesia, silicic acid and plain American water. There is a daily mail at this hotel, hired help and a pack of cards. The thermometer never rises above 70 deg.,and did not even during the terrible heat of July, this year. The respiratory organs seem to take a new interest in their job here, and the sluggish blood may be observed to mantle in the cheek ofthe invalid. The distance from Greenvilie is twenty-eight miles; from Hendersonville, twenty-six miles;from Fletcher Station on the Richmond & Danville Railroad. thirty- two miles; from Europe, 5,532 miles via Ashe- ville. An easy way to go is to wire Henderson- ville forateam andtake the Richmond & Danville road tothat point, baving the team “4 syle t Looking at the Sign. ready and provided with alargelunch. Dis- eases of the lungs, throat and nervous sys- tem promptly relieved. Itook my own team and added a phaeton attached to a saddle horse, but would not advise this course for others. The team is designed more for ornamental driving down the mall at Ticktown, and after thirty miles up a mountain road these glossy steeds have not life enough to even stab freely at a fiy with their deformed tails. Also the saddle horse Dandy loped in the phaeton a good deal of the way and tried to follow a pack of hounds at Buck forest. Nothing can be less dignified than a saddle-horse hitched toa phaeton riding to hounds or seeking to follow the bounding coon up a sourwood tree. We started from Fletcher armed with a map made from memory by Dr. Fletcher. Our course was mainiy south along the course of the French Broad River toward itshead. We crossed Mud Creek, a sullen torrent which looked somewhat like the Chi- cago water supply, and passed on through the musical woods. Our road was fringed with flowers and berries, the berry season being continuous from May to September. Then fruits of other kinds are plenty every- where. Lateron we passed a mission school, in the door of which sat a big, plain boy with large, comprehensive bare feet. He greeted us pleasantly with his thumb on his nose, making some mystic sign which we could not understand. Possibly it wasa sign of dis- tress and meantthat he needed a hanker- chief. School was'taken up at the time and we gota whiffof knowledge as we passed the door. We soon reached the French Broad River, and followed .its banks closely for three nours. It ts a majestic river with or- namental fringe of beautiful trees and a solemn and dignfied carriage that wins the respect and esteem of the beholder. Farming is indulged in along this valley by those who can afford it, and Is nota harmful practice solongasone does not neglect his family toaoit. I never allow my farming here in North Carolina to interfere with my club life. As soonas I see that agriculture is getting too much of a hold on me I go to New York, where I enanen board and try to think some ng e > at Calhoun we paused for refreshments and allowed the horses to rest for 3g hours.

The house containsa store also, and in this store almost everything from a threshing machine to the little mam- moth pill for tired feeling may be ob- tained. As we started gayly away we learned that we had fourteen miles yet ahead of us of mountain road with which we were not familiar. Soon after this we began to inquire about the route and distance, We gota great deal of information, such as it was. The psalmist said in his haste that all men were liars. If he could travel in the mountains here he could take all summer for the statement and makea typewritten copy of it also. The road from Calhoun is said to be very wild and beautiful. Wetraversed the most of it after dark and in the midst of a terrific mountain storm, soit struck me at the time asrather monotonous and ‘‘hit-a-raining.’’ Half the time one would have to pause and Say, ‘*Mr. Speaker, where was I at?’’ Those who have never traveled by diligence up the Jones’ Gap road in the darkness and terror incident to a mountain tempest and with no knowledge of the road, While on the a bottomless canyon sends up a never endin g thunder from a white and angry torrent concealed somewhere in its bosom, will agree with me that, clothed in outing flan. nels which thave caughtthe golden sunset coloring of the red clay and been soaked with the gummiest of mud, searching for the right way, yet prone to wander into b¥ and forbid- den paths or fall over a brink or'chasm, it is a solemn moment. We were told thatintwo miles we would encounter a signboard which would tell us the way, and there we must turn to the right. We werealso toldthat the signboard was eight miles away and that we must turn to the left. Onekind friend said it was eleven miles and thatthe main bridge was washed away. He would keep us, however, if we could put up with his humble fare and rather pronounced views regarding the exist- ence of a ‘‘literary hell.’’ Literal hell was doubtless the term he desired to use. We afterward learned that he was not a man ofhis word. The bridge was not in bad re- pair. Also, there is no bridge. The Jones’ Gap road isa marvel of engineering. It was laid out by Solomon Jones, who is still living. His method of laying outa mountain road was to employ alarge sow in winter time which, by driving gently down the hill, would naturally select through the snow the gentlest decent and the easiest grade, Asaresult of this method, the Jones’ Gap road is well planned and the descent from Ceesar’s Head as gradualasitis from Queen Victoria to the Prince of Wales. As the thunder boomed louder and the tor- rents of rain beat in upon us and injured our costly and beautiful clothing, a signboard of some kind glimmeredin the uncertain flash oflightning that split the drenched and inky world, It was then that I duplicated the ex- perience of Mr. Burdette years ago. I got out into the pelting storm, and with the icy tor- rent running down my frapped spine I climbed the post and waited for another fiash. Ihadtried to lighta match, but the place where I generally strike a match was all wet, sol gave it up. The lightning did not make any remarks for a long time, but remained where it was, looking roguishly down on me asI clung trembling to the guide-post, wiping my spectacles on the tail of my coat. Finallya giare ofintense Mghttore open the somber robes of night and lighted up the silent guide- post. It wentontosay: ‘‘Facial blemishes, warts, eczema and superfiuous hair removed without publicity at yourown homes, Also, cash paid for hides, pelts and furs.’’ We have now traveled some thirty odd miles over two or three still odder roads and ‘*hit a-raining.’’ My spirits were greatly depressed and my outing flannels werea sightto behold. Ourcarriage hasa fmfinge around a canopy top, ana even long after the rain ceased this wet fringe, which had been full of dust, shed mud all over us asthe vehicle jostled over the stony roads and |jarred the soiled water into our ears and aa eee Pee down our spines. Yet we were notcast down. I think that at such a time one should still be gay, especially ifona picnic or excursion. Beltore starting ona picnic weshould have decided fully to be merry under the most adverse circum- stances, sO as to mislead spectators. Did you ever see a group of straw riders who did not have tin horns and an air of false gayety and assumed mirth? So I have learned to put onasociety smirk even while having my teeth bored out and filled with hotiead. Thisis the proof of re- finement. This isthe difference between the thoroughbred andthe ‘‘hoy pulloy.’’ The barbarian swears and hops about on one foot when he hits his crazy bone against the gothic end of the pew while taking his accus- tomed place, but the refined and high church communicant clinches his teeth, leans his head forward, smiles a peritonitis smile and bites his hymnai till youcan readon it the name of the man who made his teeth. ! So we moved calmly on witha subdued gayety and now and again a little burst of chastened, English humor, till at 9:30 at night the welcome lights of the hotel at the summit loomed up in the darkness. No hotel was ever more welcome. No landlord ever looked more angelic, and how we slept! An appren- tice in the business could have robbed me of my all. A piain woman in middie life could have come inand carried meaway to her eyrie without waking me, but through some strange Oversight this was not attended to. In the morning the view burst upon us as it would if it had been brought there by en- chantment. I wish that Ii had a command of language and I could make a nuisance of my- self by taking up a column of valuable ad- vertising space here with a description of the unlimited view. A friend of mine, whohasa wonderful command of languayve, and who is a great reader, being a regular subscriber to the Centenary Magazine, said yesterday,rather tersely, it seemed to me, that it seemed to him the scene beggared description. This flaw of language with him seems to be asort of gift, and he has strengthened it a good deal by a careful course of reading. He has read all the standard works, he says, andisa good grammarian. I was with him eight dayson a triponce,and he spoke so correctly, even when under the influence of liquor, that it was almosta relief to hear the driver violate a rule of grammar now and then in pronouncing a curse on his mules, Be Yes.
