It is known that the question has been seriously discussed among the members of the Cabinet, and that Mr. Gladstone is decidedly favorable to throwing _. the colonists in all parts of the world as much as possible on their own resources. He has no idea of abandoning territories that jurisdic- ing colonies to be able to rely upon their own resources, both military and naval, It is not improbable that before another twelve months shall have elapsed the Canadians will be called upon to occupy the forts now garrisoned by Imperial troops, and that the Cape Government will also be required to It is said that Mr. Gladstone has expressed the opin- ion that if the colonies should learn some- thing by experience as to the cost of military strenath and display they would be less in- _« ~-tlined to involve themselves and the empire * * * * * 2 2 0 * 7 A — 4 — 7 * . 4 + * — 7 ~ will not de abandoned. on the Gulf of Pe in costly and unprofitable wars. Meantime, however, it seems certain that the British Government will not abandon Uganda. Lord Roseberry has intimated as much, and public sentiment, without regard to party, is in favor of retaining that African possession. There isa general impression, that as, Lord Roseberry says, Uganda may prove the key to Central Africa, and strengthen British influence both in the Nile region and on the lakes. Since Lord Rose- berry took charge of the Foreign Office there has been no abatement of a vigorous African policy. The essential departure from Lord Salisbury’s methods is that what Lord Salis- bury did through chartered companies, Lord Roseberry proposed to do through and in be- half of the Imperial Government. Uganda So much is certain. But it is also certain that the reign of the ~pelteltish--Hiast-African—6o-~ m Ugande Will an end; Uganda will de occupied by h troops for Great Britain. since the return of Capt. > Lugard from Uganda, many false reports in regard to the people of that country have been disproved. The statement of an imaginative traveler that many of the natives were cannibals,and that when a man took a second wife the first one was cooked for the wedding feast, turns out to be entirely false. The natives of Uganda proper are not cannibals, although some ofthe tribes on their border are, and while plural marriage is common, the wives seem to live in harmony together. Even the cannibal tribes show considerable respect for the missionaries, regardless of their physical development. TWELVE TOWNS DESTROYED. DISASTROUS FLOODS ALONG THE YELLOW RIVER ; IN OHINA. SAN Francisco, Cal., Oct. 22.—The steamer Rio Janeiro has arrived, bringing advices ‘from Yokohama to Oct. 7 and from Hong Kong to Oct. 1. News has reached Shanghai that the Yellow ‘River has again burst its banks, though the exact locality is not known, The newscame from Yang Kokow hili, This town is on a river which is ¢onnectea with the Yellow River by a canal, and the current from the _ Yellow River wasifioating past Yang Kokow at the rate of six or seven miles an hour. A ry who had come in from the flooded Aistriet stated that no less than twelve towns had been Washed away, but as the water ad- ‘vanced slowly, the people had time to move, ‘go that not many lives were lost. It is re- ported that the floods have extended to three ‘provinces. A brother of the beheaded leader of the Tekhus revoltis alive, the only member of the family whoescaped the swords on No- vember last. He has taken refuge in a mountain said to be impenetrable, where some 15,000 men, whose race has never ac- kno any government beyond that of thelrown chief, pass their existence.

BERLIN, Oct. 22.—“ Will von Caprivi carry his military measure? Will he dissolve the Reichstag?“ your correspondent asked of a deputy who had just been to see the Chan- célior. Jean assure you that the Reichstag will not be dissolved,’’ Do you fancy that the Ministry is hold- ing the sword of Damocles over the people, with the alternative of ‘will you do it or will you not?’ ’’ „We have passed compulsory days; there is perfect harmony between Chancellor Von Caprivi, the Minister of War, the chief of the great military staff on the one side and the Minister of Finance on the other. The country cannot afford to ignore the highest military authorities with all eyes upon us, The Berlin Commercial associations are now resolved to havea National Industrial Exposition in Berlin in 1895. Privy Councillor Von Glasenapp will be the German Commissioner to the International Monetary Conference projected by America and to be held at Brussels on the 22d prox. The German press puts it down as an acad- emical formality without practical benefits and with no better anticipated results than the one held in Paris ten years ago. Forty thousand dwellings are empty in Berlin from over building. Hard times and economy are the reasons for which Mr. Phelps’ barrel“ has not gone to America during this campaign. Mauy times he has spoken about the management of the Repub- lican campaign. e is far from well, and at the expiration of histerm will gladly return to New Jersey. The North German railroads are about to be turned over to a private company. Vari- ous projects are on foot and the Government seems inclinedto make itself more popular by these means. Many reforms are in store, suchas return tickets, to be good for one year, a reduction in freight rates, etc. Capt. Evans, the new military attache just arrived, has settled with his family in the fashionable part of the city. A German Ethical Society, based on the lines of Dr. Felix Adler’s Society in New York, has been organized in Berlin by a num- berof prominent men, including a number of university professsors. The membership of the society also includes many ladies of the highest social circles. Prof, Forster, director of the Royal Observatory, has been elected president. Assistant Adjutant-Gen- eral Schwan of the United States Army and his wife are passing the winter In Berlin. Lieut. Sargeant, the naval attache of the American Legation here, has gone to Vienna after having visited the German navy yards and docks. The approaching re-consecration of the Luther Memorial Church in Wittenberg prom- ises to be a ceremony of extraordinary splen- dor. The Emperor and Empress will be pres- ent. His Majesty has invited all the Protestant princes of Germany to attend, while all the Protestants of foreign sovereigns will be represented. The Duke of York will repre- sent Queen Victoria. Emperor William has defrayed most of the expenses of the restoral. He has ordered that eighty of his own car- riages be sent to Wittenberg and placed at the disposal of his guests. There will be a homage ceremony in the Marktplatz and a procession thence to the church, in which the sovereigns and the representatives of sovereigns will take part. The Emperor is expected to make a significant speech on this occasion. Lieut. Hayl, one of the German officers who took part in the long distance race and who allowed Prince Leopold to pass him on the road, which enabled the Prince to be the first German to reach Florisdorf, the Austrian goal, has been decorated with the order of the Royal Crown. A new ride 18 being discussed for the officers of the Aus- trian and Prussian reserves, It is. proposed for the Germans to start from Vienna and the Austrians from Berlin. The race is not to be giventothe swiftest rider, but to the first officer who arrives with his horse in perfect condition. ROYAL WEDDINGS. CROWN PRINCE FERDINAND AND MARIE OF EDINBURG—PRINCESS MARGARET. Lonpon, Oct. 22.—Tne semli-official an- nouncement was made in Berlin on Wednes- day that the wedding of the Orown Prince Ferdinand of Roumania and Princess Marie of Edinburg will take place in Sigmaringen in- stead of Bucharest. The change was made in deference tothe wishes of Emperor WII- liam. He has been very keen to have Queen Victoria present atthe marriage of his sis- ter, the Princess Margaret, tothe Hessian heir about the middle of January. To real- ize this wish she hit upon the plan of having the Princess Marie’s wedding, which the Queen has expressed a desire to attend, cele- brated at about the same time and within the German borders. King Charles of Roumania, as a Hohenzollern Prince, agreed to the plan and arranged matters accord- ingly. As Berlin and Sigmaringen are not far apart the Queen undoubtedly will pro- ceed directly from the Princess Marte’s wedding to that of her grand-daughter in Berlin. Both ceremonies will be grand affairs and will attract crowned heads from all parts of Europe. The Princess Margaret will be married once by a Protestant clergyman, while the Princess Maria will be married twice, once by an Orthodox Greek priest and once by a Roman Catholic priest. In Bucharest the report is circulated among the best informed officials that before next fall the young bride will be Queen of Rou- mania. It is said that King Charles proposes to abdicate next June in favor of Prince Fer- dinand. Heand Carmen Sylva will then re- tire to Castle Pelichin the Carpathians with a combined civil list of $180,000 annually. As the King has an income of $360,000 annually from his real estate nothing will then pre- vent him from following untrammeled by financial considerations, his extravagant in- clinations asa collector of rare books and paintings, and a student of art and science. CHRISTENING A PRINCESS. BERLIN, Oct. 22.—The ceremony of christ- ening the infant princess born to tho German Emperor and Empress on Sept. 13, took place at 5 o’clock this evening in the Jasper gallery of the Potsdam palace. Dr. Dryander, Sup- erintendent of theLutheran Church officiated. Empress, surrounded by her six sons, sat be- neath a baldachin of velvet which had been placed in front of the altar at which the christening was performed.

Buchanan of Tennessee Said to Have Sold Out. Ten Thousand Dollars the Value of His Treachery. ONE OF THE MOST INFAMOUS PROCEED- INGS ON RECORD. John H McDowell, State Alliance Presi- dent, Also in the Deal—The Receipts, With Supporting Affidavits, in the Hands of the National Democratic Committee—All the Facts to Be Made Public To-Day. NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 22.—One of those political sensations that are always to be looked forontheeve of a presidential elec- tion has ripened here, To say that the State of Tennessee is torn up but mildly expresses it. The charge is said to be capable of proof that Gov. Buch- anan, independent dandidate for re-elec- tion 5 has sold himself tothe Republican party and got his price. Even the detatis of the al- leged transaction are gone into and impli- cate also John H. McDowell, the Pressdent of the State Alliance. As the matter is stated Gov. Buchanan is _ sald to have received $10,000 from the Republicans to make the race for Governor as an inde- pendent candidate, and McDowell is alleged to have received $5,000 as an interested party to the contract. Further, it is charged that the receipts for money and all papers in the transaction have been pur- chased of L. C. Hill of the National Republi: can Committee, and will be made public to-morrow. Congressman Houck is said to be a coadjutor of Committeeman Hill in the scheme. Two letters will be published here to-miorrow,'one said to be from Republican’ Committee- man G. W. Hill to Joseph J. Ivens, editor of the Knoxville Republican, and the reply of Ivens to Mr. Hill. In these letters the whole deal, as originated by John H. Mc- Dowell, the Alliance president and People’s party elector, is laid bare. The deal, as an - nounced, was to the effect that Buchanan should receive the support of the People’s party, Republican and Independent members of the Legislature, for the United States Senate. Buchanan’s name is said to be signed to the receipt for the $10,000, with John H. McDowell’s, and it is also said to be sworn to in several am- davits. The money offered by the National Democratic Committee for the information was alleged to have been paid here to-day. The foregoing statements will be accepted, of course, as but one side of the story. As the sensation was sprung late at night it was impossible to see either ofthe principals mentioned in order to get their version ofthe matter, and for this due allowance shauld be made ina question involving such serious allegations. IVAN’S LETTER. KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 6. The Hon. George W. Hill, Dandridge, Tenn. MY DEAR SIR—You are the Republican Na- tional Committeeman for Tennessee, there- fore you are a leader of the party, and as such leader and committeeman ought to be able to advise me as a Republican journalist in a controversy I am having with been placed in a peculiar condition in Tennessee by a peculiar set of circumstances, The distracted condition of Democracy ied us easily into combination with an element of that party represented dy McDowell and Buchanan for the overthrow of the regular or Bourbon organization,that ele- ment being now known asthe thirdiparty or Populists. Reasonable it has seemed to me that those dissatisfied Democrats, being weaker in numbers and with feebler claims to popular support than the Republican party, should have come to us without calls, at least without coaxing, certainly without a demand of terms other than the broad promise of our excellent platform. But instead of that we have gone to them and paid them, that is paid McDowell, $15,000 in money through our National Committee, of which you are .a member, to gain their help in overthrowing the regu- lar Democracy in this State and to give the State to Harrison and Reid. Having been your supporter personally and in the public print for the position you hold in the party councils, I have watched with interest your efforts as the representatives of the Repubil- cans of Tennessee on the National committee and have been personally gratified to see how earnestly you have sought that which would bring success, break up the solid South, give us honest elections, a force Dill, if it must be, and have an everlasting end ot Bourbon rule in any part of the country. I know you have sought to do only that which you believe to be right and I ap- peal to you now tosay upon refiection if we have not gone too farin the compromise of principles, if we are not discrediting the Republican party, which has been held together by the fixedness of its prin- ciples, and are we not wanting in fidelity to those principles when we open our arms to treason and political perfidy, to heresy and fanaticism, and join hands with men like we have found John H, McDowell to be, the man who has pledged the destruc- tion of his party, as stated, for a sum ot money anda promise that be shall have our support for the United State Senatorship. You know I have no respect for the mug- wump in politics, I have less for the non- descript ; still less for the man who misleads 10 help us elect a le town, myself ona question of party duty. We have ture that would not only repeal the t election laws, but enable us to estadiish a system that would give us permanent control of the State, — the $15,000 and the guarantee of s rt for the Senate, stipu- lated and contracted to bring Buchanan out as an independent candidate for Governor and tp keep bim Im the geld until the close, delivering to us full control of the State. This ! t worth agreeing to. we all at first We have I mean the National Committee have paid, about, if not quite, $10,000 of the . date and promised to pay the rema! $5,000 ten days before elec- tion, Chairman Carter not being willing to pay the — at once, a wise pro- caution, I am led to suspect. We have complied with our side of tune bargain 80 far. McDowell has complied with his part so far as to place the Governor, who seems to be either helpless or plastic in his hands, in the fleld as a candidate. He has broken faith on the legislature agreement by indacing or permitting Populist candidates to come out in the Republican strongholds, thus showing his untrustworthiness, as well as his distrust of the promise to send him to the Senate. He has place a Congressional can- Gidate in the Third District. There is a People’s party candidate in the Second District, and he has served notice that unless the Republican candidate in the First District comes to time’’ on legislative promises he will put a candidate up there. He has also made the impression upon: his immediate followers that Mr. Winstead will yet be with- drawn as a candidate’ for Governor and the Republicans will then support Buchanan. But Ido not join in the last opinion. I dislike to believe the Governor of Tennessee is in open league with McDowell, I believe Buchanan is a Democrat. I want to believe him an honest man. But tte circumstances are all on that side mysterious. You know there was a hitch in Buchanan’s an- nouncement as an independent can- didate until the payment of the first sum agreed upon was made to McDowell. Them came the Third party indorsement, manipulated by McDowell. After this you remem- ber there was another delay in the payments and then cams McDowell’s threat to Chairman Baker of the State Com- mittee, that unless the second payment was in his hands by a speci- fled time and hour he would take Buchanan out of the race. It was then that you, Capt. Baker, Hon. John OC. Houck and others hurried to New York to procure the immediate further action of the national 3 was about this tim that he visited the Nashville — house officials and threatened (according to his statement) to gointo the Third District and beat the Republican nominee 4,000 votes if those gentlemen threw any obstruction iu the way of his receiving further money. Nor is this all. On Sunday, Sept. 18, de was at a Knox- ville meeting of prominent Republicans and again threatened mat n would with- draw the followiny 1 evening at 7 o’clock unless more funds were by that hour paid over to him. You and I had just returned from Nashullle, where I learned Chairman Baker had procured from individuals and advanced a considerable sum. Hearing this threat and actually fearing its execution and that Jack Baker, my friend, would then lose his money, I on Monday and Tuesday wired Secretary Jeffreys and Chairman Baker to hold things statu quo until Tuesday and repeated the same to our third party friena, Col. Tom Cain, at Morris- whose sincerity I always trust. Meantime, at your solicitation, I prepared to go to New York to see if Baker’s money could not at least be saved, which trip Iabandoned on a telegram from Secretary Jeffreys anda letter saying it was unnecessary, as the matter had been arranged. On the Sunday referredto Mc- Dowell wired Mr. Newell Saunders of Chattanooga to meet him at the 6 p. m. train, the train on which McDowell and Mr. Clay Evans left Knoxville, He made demands at Chat- tanooga, I have heard, which must have been complied with, as his threats have not been executed. Now, as you know, he has been receiving money from the Republican party since our State Chairman, at the instance of National Chairman Carter, advanced him the first $2,000. They are matters of every day talk among Republicans and Democrats alike, und whileI may be tedious and tire you, I go into details to emphsize the remarkable predicament we find ourselves in with a man of insatiate greed, unblushing corruption and the most determined polliical permidy a man who can demand and be paid money without stint, and whom we as Republicans have agreed to help put in the United States Senate to the everlasting dis- grace of Tennessee, am, as 1 verily believe, the utter ruin of Republican hope in the south. The question with me is whether we are not equally’ guilty with McDowell, unless we expose him and boldly denounce the whole scheme, and whether the temporary advant- age we gain will not work the perma- nent damnation, of the party in the State. Yor are the National Committeeman from Tennessee and I trust you will give me your views on the subject. Jam a Republican of the George Winstead stripe and type, a Republican from principle and, like George Winstead, bon’ believe that a victory at the sacrifice of principle should De attempted if not otherwise in reach, and the sooner the scheme is repudiated the better it will be for our State ticket, for our party’s future and for us all as individuals. In saying this I would not have you understand that I mean to refiect on you Mr. Houk, Capt. Baker, Mr. Jeffreys or any other Repuplican. The whole thing looked legitimate as it was invitingto us a minority party in the State, and it was easy to enter into, 7 believing with the rest of you that it would result in permanent good to the State. Later developments inperfect- ly but fairly stated herein, have conninced me, however, that we have made a grand mistake which we should en- dea vor to relieve as quickiy as possibte. It is proper to add that I have talked with a number of persons about this mattor, John ©. Houk among them, and he **having knowledge of all the facts’* concurs with the view that we have fallen into a very perplexing situation and one involving not only the sacrifice in prin- ciples, but likely to bring us permanent It ee party harm from the shape it assumed. earliest commit to paper, and, believe me, yours very truly, J. J. Ivans. HILLS’ LETTER. DANDRIDGE, Tenn., Oct. 8, 1892. J. J. Ivins, Esq., Editor Knoxville Republican, Knoxville, Tenn: My DzaR SIR—Noting the receipt of your favor of the 6th inst., let me say to you that I bave been doing some serious thinking along the same line as the Tennessee member of the National Republican Committee and I have zealously tried in my feeble way to do some- thing for the success of our party, State and nation, and have specially sought to impress the National Commit- tee that it will prosper if we could take Tennessee out of the Democratic column. I believe that had the National committee been as liberal with Chairman Baker of our State Committee asit has been with J. A. McDowell and Buchanan we could have carried the State for the National ticket with what funds we could have raised among ourselves. But our friends in New York were made by a class of Republicans in Tennessee to believe other- wise, and if they have furnished any money in the State besides the $15,000 paid McDowell, or as you state it, partly paid and to be paid, as a member of the committee Iam not apprised of the fact. I confess to you that I have had misgivings of McDowell, and the schisms of which you write ever since Chairman Baker first informed me of the deal with him and I have not at any time had faith in it or ceased to feel that it would wind up ina farce if not abso- lute harm. Up here in my country we be- lieve in strict party politics. If a man is a Republican is a throughbred. ie i Democrat we know it without asking his neighbors to tell us. I have not hesitated to join in any effort to dethrone bourbonism in Tennessee and nave spent largely of my own private means for that purpose. Ihave. been and always will be willing to do my share and more too, but Ithink with you that there is a danger line in politics. That we have gotten uncomfortable close to it and ought to get away from it as quickly as we can in order to preserve our principles by standing out in bold opposition to McDowellism, Buchananism, third partyism, Ocalaism, andso on. When the national committee creed this money to McDowell it was with- out my knowledge, counsel or advice, but when apprised of it later on by Chairman Baker, and admonished that it was none of my business, I ac- qguiesced in the bargain, feeling that any part could give some relief in a storm, that almost any device we might arrange to gain control of the State and repeal the reformers’ election laws would be fair, on the doctrine that all is fair in ware and that it might result in good. But all the time I mis- trusted McDowell. If he would sell out to us, might he not sell us out a little later on? Still after the bargain was made and part ot the money pald, and when 1 saw Buchanan’s independent announcement asin part provided for, [had a hope that the scheme might pull through with- out harm to us, believing, of course, that we would not be cut off with no other help from the National Committee than that given to him. Answering your question direct, I think it was all a mistake. it will cost, is costing us votes in Tennessee. It is very embarrassing and I hardly know what to say to you about it more than what I have indicated in our several conversations and what I have written above. I wish now that I had destroyed the scheme as soon as I learned of it by pro- testing against the payment of the money to McDowell. I would do so even yet, but Capt. Baker some weeks ago, in fact, very soon after the payments to Me- Dowell began, informed me that it was * effair of mine and none of my business. rather feel that [owe an obligation to my party in all emergencies, and that maybe,af- ter all has been said, it ig my business, because affecting the party. Your remarks astothe trade with 223 A ges 1 are in line, with its details and d that I dont understand what Buc anan came to Republican East Tennessee for if they intend keeping faith with us. He is to-day an enemy of our party and is doing us harm, not good. have faith in the ultimate triumph of our principles if we adhere to them strictly; but I fear that your words are too true, that we are camping too close to political heresy in our present entangle- ment. We oughttocut loose from these feliows and from now on make a strong straigh fight; if we dothis we shall elect George Win- stdad Governor. As 1 figure it out we have now lost $15,000 on McDowell and Buchanan and have gained nothing. We save ow principles from A Al. is common sieve ready you say it talk on the streets and in the highways. I am not going to let it injure me. It cannot hurt John Hauk because he, like myself, was let into it after the bargain was made and since then has only endeavored to see that the Republican party was not imposed on by holding McDowell to the terms. Neither do 1 censure Baker. He believed that he was ae anear and legitimate cut to success and, I am satisfied, expected out of it to see victory. Before closing I want to say that the matter is no longer a secret and wherever I have an opportunity I intend to warn our people to have nothing more to do with it, but to stick to the Repub- lican party. to Harrison, Reid and Winstead, and our candidates for Congress in the First, Second, Third and Eighth Dis- tricts, and to elect good Republicans to the Legislature, who. will give laws and who will vote for an honest Repub- lican for United States Senator. Suppose you write to Baker and Jeffreys and get their views. Yours truly, G. HILL. Above are the letters referred to, which are sald tobe confirmed as to authenticity by affidavits. The Republicans are all split to pieces in Tennessee. There are two hostile factions, the administration peo Federal officeholders’ gang, anti-Administration people. Mr. Hill belongs to to the latter; so does Baker, Chairman of the State Committee, and s0 does Congress man Houk. They are largely in the majority and are very sore because the National Commit- tee does not recognige them, but rather chooses to operate through the administra- tion fellows.

New Yorn, Oct. 22.—Mr. o. o. Stealy, the Louisville Courier-Journal expert election forecaster, makes this est imate of New York County: ‘‘Insizing up political campaigns in New York, ana giving the conservative or theenthusiastic of the late managers and out at Democratic headquarters agreed with the vote whenannounced. Roferences to the instructive, study. It 1884, it will be remem- bered, Tammany, led by John Kelly, opposed vigorously at Chicago the nomination of Mr. Cleveland and for three months after the nomination it was a grave question with | Pemocrats all over the country what Kelly and Tammany would do. In fact, about the middle of September in that year defeat “Stared the Democracy in the face, the only one bright spot being Indiana, where the Democrats, led by the gallant Hendricks, were making a game and encouraging fight. Finally John Kelly, late in the campaign, Gecided to support Cleveland and do all he Could to aid in his election. A few days after Mr. Kelly made the announcement that Tammany would loyally suppor Cleveland and Hendricks. Your correspondent inter- viewed him and the interview was printed in the Courier-Journal. In this interview Mr. Kelly gave itas his deliberate opinion that New York County would not give Mr. Cleve- land than 60,000 plurality over Blaine. Mr. Barnum, then Chairman of the National tic Committee, and his able help - mate, Senator Gorman, fully agreed with Mr. Kelly in his estimate and did not doubt thata plurality of at least 60,000 would be ‘Up in New York County. The vote showed, however, that Oleveland got 181,187 ana Blaine 9,093, giving Mr. Clevelana but 43,064 plurality, or 16,936 below the estimate. Mr. Oleveland was only saved by King’s County, or Brooklyn, which gave the ticket the surprising plurality of 16,000, or about 4,000 more than was estimated by the Democratic managers of that city. The plurality for Mr. Cleveland inthe State was only 1,047 and it took a terrible sight of trouble to get that much. 88 REVIEWED. In 1888. Mr. Cieveland was renominated by acclamation. During his administration he had chilled a number of Democrats through- out the country, and especialliv here in New York. TheTammany men did not love him any more than they did in 13884, but Mr. Kelly had died in the meantime, and Mr. Croker, who was then at the head of Tammany Hail, swung the organization into line, and, under all the cir- cumstances, made as good a fight for Mr. Cleveland as was possible, and as good a aght as was made for him elsewhere in the country. About this time, previous to the election in 1888, say when it was two weeks off, Mr. Croker told your correspondent that New York County would give a plurality of 6,000 for Cleveland, The managers here nerally indorsed this claim. The ooklym Democratic managers were claim ing enthusiastically a plurality there of 20,000, or a gain of 4,000 over 1884. The re- guit showed that New York County gave Cleveland 162,620 and Harrison 105,452 or a Cleveland plurality of 57,162, or 8,000 below the estate, Brooklyn created another stun- ss of 4.000 from 1884, instead of a 4.000, as estimated. The official ss however, in New York County “Bhowed that Cleveland received in 1888 nearly votes than he did in 1884, and that 8 only got 15,000 more votes than B aine, Ap POINT. Now there is a good point to de made here without any partisan figuring. In 1884 the © for tlie Democratic and Republican can- a es was 223,250 and the Democratic can- Gidate received a majority of 43,064. Four years tater the vote of the two party candi- ite: 072 and the Democratic candi- 1 ved a majority over his Republican ‘competitor of 57, 166. This shows that onan in vote of about forty-five thousand the Demoérat gains two votes tothe Repub- licah's One. Now, it is almost an absolute ty that the increase in the vote of to will be as large as the four years previous, and it is equally fair to claim that the Democratic crease has been as large from 1888 to 1892 as it wae from 1884to 1888. The same ratio of would make the total polied for next month 418,000 or 196,000 for. and 122,000 for Harrison, or a Pemocratic plurality of 74,000. Kverything is just as good for the Democrats now as it was in and 1888. The Repubiicans have more money how than they had then, for SeF always have all they want and more 55 can use about election times.

TAMMANY WILL “ LOYALLY SUPPORT THE BATIONAL TICKET. New Tonk, Oct. 22.—There is a wide differ- ence of opinion between Police Commissioner Martin and bis associate leaders in Tammany Hall about the right of the County Democracy andthe New York Democracy to have the Democratic electoral ticket printed on their ballots. At a recent meeting of the Police Board Commissioner Martin made the sug- gestion that the two organizations had no such right, because they had not been recog: | Diged by the state Convention which nomi- Gated the selectors, Tammany Hall wants to have the ballots run out. Mr. Gilroy took that position very strongly yesterday. He said that the construction of the law which forbade the issuing of the bal lots was ubpjustifiably strict and his judgment could not be sustained. Besides, as a matter of practical politics, he was anxious to have the ballots go out because he thought they would tend to increase the vote for the na- tional ticket. Thisis understood to be the position of the Tammany chiefs. Mr. Croker qualified his adhesion to it a little by saying that if he thought the other organizations intend edto use the ballots as so many knives to thrust into tie national ticket, he would be in favor of using ail legal * to keep them away from the ballots. Bit his tacit admission was that he had nosuchidea. Commissioner Martin is supposed to have considered that if the counties had no electoral ballots they would have nothing to trade with, and conse- quently they could dono harm. Chief Crok- er’s idea is that they don’t amount to enough to do anything, anyway. The principal interest at Tammany Hall now is about the big ratification meeting which is to be held there on l uesday night. If Mr. Croker’s plans have any suc- cess it will be the biggest demonstration 80 far, in the campaign. There will be really six meetings, two in the building and four out doors inthe tmmediate neighborhood of the hall. The speakers who have been in- vited and have promised to attend number forty. They include Senator Hill, Lieut. Gov. Sheehan, Gen. Sickles, District Attor- ney Ridgeway of Brooklyn, alli the New York Citv Congressmen, and many others. The most prominent speakers will address the out-door meetings, So that those who are unable to get into the two halls will be consoled by the quality of oratory they may hear. the district organizations will the Wigwam ip uniform and with bands. There will be flreworks in the street before the meetings begin. Twenty thousand peo- ple are expected to gather. There are about three hundred flery, un- tamed orators whom Tammany will let loose on the community next Monday night to rave and roar in every election aistrictin the city, thence on until election day. Assemblyman Wm, Sulzer, who has charge of the speli- binding work for Tammany, issued a notice to the three hundred yesterday askiug them to meet at the Wigwam on Mon- day afternoon to see Mr. Croker. They will then be instructed as to the lines on which the fight had better be conducted, and Croker will urge everyone of them to devote his attentionto the national ticket and let the county ticket slide; it is Mr. Croker’s idea that the county ticket can take care of itself. It must bethat Tammany feels en- tirely safe about its local ticket, for it will send out and widely distribute pasters of the Democratic electoral ticket, thus enabling any person who chooses to vote for the County Democracy or Republican local nomi- nations and the Democratic national ticket. Some anti-snappers who heard this vester- day said it removedthe last possible sus- picion against the loyalty of Tammany to the national cause. DON M. DICKINSON’S BET. AN EVEN $5,000 THAT CLEVELAND WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT. NEW YorK, Oct. 22.—A man whois active for Harrison in the present national cam. paign devoted the greater portion of Thurs- day and yesterday toan effort to convince members of the National Republican Com- mittee that it would be a good thing for them to cover $5,000 which ex-Postmaster-General Don M. Dickinson says he is willing to bet even that Cleveland will be elected. Mr. Dickinson was seated witha party of friends on Wednesday night when he pro- duced a check made out for that amout. The Chairman of the Democratic National Campaign Committee was anxious to make the wager. Chairman Harrity is willing to bet asimilar amount. ‘The friend of Mr. Harrison, who was present, promised to be at Democratic headquarters the next afternoon withthe money. He has been to headquarters, but he has not got the money yet. Naturally he first sought the Capitalists at No. 518 Fifth avenue, whose chairman, Carter, is conducting the Harrison cam gn. Col. H. L. Swords, who, as ser- geant-at-Arms of the Quay Committee four years ago, made such a theatrical entrance into the Hoffman House and ‘Anally succeeded in betting the Democrats down,’’ was approached. Col, Swords was not willing to bet yet. He said there was plenty of time, and that the Democratic cause was 80 hopeless that Mr. Dickinson was willing to wager $5.000 in an effort to houdwink the people into thinking that he really expected to win. Chairman Carter and Mr. Manley rather frowned on the proposition. Mr. Kerens, who ig rated as rich, was not impressed and took the next train for the West without bet- ting. Gen, James . Stewart of Phijadel- phia, who is something of a ‘‘plunger’’ bim self, deciared that he did not care to run the risk of 2 his vote. The man who was unwilling to take a ‘**biut’’ from Messrs. Dickinson and could not be found. Col. Swords has not vot been able to organize a betting syndicate similar tothe one he represented in 1888. Heisanxloustodoso. Committees are indi posed to encourage betting in view of the cloud of domestic affliction which hangs over the White House. —ͤ—b——— — THEY ARE WORRIED. HEAVY REGISTRATION IN NEW YORK BOTHER- ING REPUBLICANS. New Tonk, Oct, .22.—The Republican Na- tional Committee is greatly worried by the large registration in this city and the un- favorable reports received from private sources regarding the outlook in the interior counties. The National Committee is also said to be of the opinion that Chairman Hackett of the State Executive Committee is writing too many letters. They criticised him for writing his blocks-of-one circular, and declared that its wording, to say the least, was unfortunate. Yesterday when Mr. Hackett's letter to the Chairman of the Schenectady County Committee, inclosing a cheek for 3800, to get 1,100 people toregister, was made pub- lic. Mr. Carter is said to have used some pretty strong language. Mir. Hackett’s letter is regarded by the Re- pubiican managers as innocent enough, but they are living in constant fear that some letter will get out that will give them away completely. It ts said that Mr. Hackett has beeh advised by Chairman Carter to write no more letters of a confidential character. Next week the Republican State Commit tee will commence to distribute boodle for use on 23 day. . „has not bean | ' sion with my aid. Bcc Pins.

THE DEMOCRATS WILL ELECT EVERY CON- GRESSMAN FROM GEORGIA. ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 22,—The Third Party Campaign Committee has hauled down Its flag and the concession now comes from Sec- retary Oscar Parker that the Democrats will elect every Congressman from Georgia and that Watson will be defeated by 2,000 votes. Secretary Varker 1s the only official of the committee that has had the nerve to remain at the headquarters of the party and he ap- pears as he wishes to be out of the place and ridof the whole affair. Here’s the way he talks about it: We are still making a fight in Georgia, doing all we can. Candidly, I do not believe we will elect a single Con- gressman. it now appears asif Mr. Watson will be defeated by 2,000 votes. The Demo- crats have concentrated their forces here. Here they huse made their fight, and it seems they’ve got us. We will not give up the fight entirely, however, we hope to succeed some day.’’ ‘the People’s party paper, Wat- son’s own organ, does not concedes Watson’s defeat, but it speaks of it in a doubtful way using a plentitude of its. The handwrit- ing onthe wall to the tune of 70,000 Demo- cratic majority has destroyed the hopes of the Third party. : JONES AND KOLB. THE GOVERNOR SAYS THAT ALABAMA SQUARELT REPUDIATES HIS OPPONENT. New Ton, Oct. 22.—‘‘The regular ticket was fairly and squarely elected by over 12,000 majority, sad Gov. Thomas G. Jones of Alabama yesterday. Kolb always accounts for defeat by the cry of fraud.“ Nothing Is fair according to his view unless he suc- ceeds.’’ Gov. Jones came to New York on private business, he said. Heisa middle-aged maa, slim, black eyes, 4 black mustache and im- perial and wears a broad brimmed felt hat. We attach no importance, he continued, to Klob’s threats of a contest. The regu- lars propose to pass a law to authorize a contest, andifthe constitutional limitation of the session expires before a contést has been determined on. he can get an extra ses- Three-fourths of the Dem- ocrats and a majority of the whites voted against Kolb, and in Alabama we have ceased to coneern ourselves about his purposes. About one-fifth of the Democrats followed him in the State election, and to succeed in his plans he must do something to enable him to deliver them from the Republicans and Third partyites, and by a continuation of all three defeat the National Democraticticket.’’ His fusion cannot succeed. Alabama is as gure to give its electoral vote to Cleveland as that the sun will rise on election day. There is no doubt about it. So Kolb could carry all the Democrats who voted for him in the State election still he could not win. The Republicans can not unite their vote in favor of the fusion ticket. The coiored Republicans will vote for the Republican ticket, but they are unwillingto give their allegiance to the Third party, for they regard it as a surrepti- tious attempt to revive the scheme to outlaw the negro and form a white league. Everything is all right in Alabama. Chris Magee may throw away some of his money trying to carry the Stato for Harrison, but It will go for Cleveland by a handsomo ma- jority. Many Republicans in Alabama view the fusion ticket as a scheme of Republican officials anda few desporate Democrats to reorganize the Republican party under another name and get all the patronage in the event of Harrison’s clection. Such Re- publicans are as hostile tothe fusion as any straight-out Democrat.’’ NO LAW AGAINST IT. EPISCOPAL CLERGYMEN TAKING A PART IN POLITICS. BALTIMORE, Md., Oct. 22.—Rev. Dr. John- son, a delegate to the Episcopal Convention from Davenport, Io., and rector of Trinity Church in that city, in an interview with a reporter to-day on the question of how far, in the advocacy of political questions, the clergy of the Episcopol Oburch may go, which subject has been invested with renewed interest by the recent course of Dr. Rainsford, rector of St. George’s Church, New York, whohas mounted the stump for Cleveland and Stevenson, said: „As to public participation in the political arena, ou the part of any clergyman it is a mere matter of expediency—there is no law againstit.

HE BOLSTERS UP THE FAITH OF THE WAVERING REPUBLICANS. New Tonk, Oct. 22.—Over his own signa- ture, Chairman Carter of the Republican Na- tional Committee caused the following to be published in an afternoon paper to-day: »Tuis campaign has differed from pre- cecing presidential contests in that efferves- cent eathusiasm and brass band features have yielded to serious reflection. Meetings have been largely attendea and registration wherever required by the laws of the States has been unusuaily large. These signs indi- Cate that the people comprehend the gravity of the issues on which they are to pass at the polls. Patient reflection hes naturally raised in the mind of every thoughtful man these questions: What good reason exists to Justify the repudiation of a strong, patriotic and dlameless administration? What good reason exists to justify forcigg the country aad allits commercial and busi- ness and industrial forcesdown from the highest point of prosperity yet attained in our national experience by voting for a change of administration, which in the ab- sence of any action whatever would impair the prosperity of the country by raising doubts and generating questions and causing fears for the future. Under the pro- tective policy of the Republican party the nation has been phenomenally prosperous. What good reason exists for the repudiation of this policy and the substitution of the free trade policy of England, under which policy, we are informed, thousands of honest people are unable in that country to find employ- ment or compensation for the work they do to the extent of even proper food and rat- ment? and what good reason exists to justity the people of the country in substituting for our present staple currency the old and dis- ruptable Wild Cat State Bank scheme? These questions have occurred to the people in every walk of life in this country, and since they have been raised the people have thought about them and there can no doubt that an overwhelming majority of thoughtful, patriotic men will cast their votes in favor of the Republican party and its candidates, standing asjthey do for a continu. ance of present prosperity, protection to American labor and American industry, an bonest currency, extension of our merchant marine, the upbuilding of thenavy,a free, fair baliot and a full fair count.’’ **‘WATCH THE LISTS.’’ DAVENPORT-MARTIN FRAUDS UNBATHED IW NEW YORK. NEw YORK, Oct. 22.—Some or the Demo- cratic managers in up-town districts claim to have discovered the trae inwardness of the house-to-house canvass that is now being made by agents of the Chief Federal Super- visor of Elections, John I. Davenport. As has become well Known, men in the guise of Fed- eral election supervisors are calling at houses and tenements, where they make many in- quiries regarding the men of the households, particularly asto their politics. They have obtained the desired information in many in- stances from women and children. servants and janitors, while in other cases, where they have found the man of the house at home,gthe impertinent querists have been kicked out of doors. The avowed object of this catechet- ical visitation is to detect and punish any at- tempts at illegal registration. The. sincerity of this claim is made questionable, however, by the invariable attempts to learn whether the voter about whom iuquiry is made is a Democrat or a Republican as that fact could have no legal bearing on a man’s right to register and is a matter into which the fed- eral supervisors have no right to inquire. Republican hewspapers and managers have done all in their power to ald this Davenport- Martin Canvass by crying that they have dis- covered gigantic plots for fraudulent regis. tration. Examine the registry lists“ they reiterate in capital letters. It now asserted that the real object of the Repub- lican leaders isto ascertain by this canvass the names and residences and all attainable information regarding voters who, by reason of absence from the city, or other cause, Will not be able or neglect to register. Then, the Democratic leaders assert, it is the intention of Dave Martin and the other Republican managers to watch the registration Usts, and on the last day of registration to have Republican colonizers personate at the oter w every lists and who is not hana himeeif. it to add that r as **Dave’’ In the City.

FLORAL BRANCH AND EON-BON, WEST END HOTEL, Yeptevenrer and Bell av4.; will open Monday, Democratic managers believe tt is to be attempted on a large scale in New York this year. Inthe up-town dis- tricts, where the population has increased so rapidly in the last twoyears, they reckon that Democratic captains cannot personally know all the voters in their election districts, and this scheme, they think, may be prac- ticed safely and successfully. Oareless talk by bibulous canvassers has revealed the plot in time, and measures have been taken which it is practically certain will lodge in jall any would-be coloniger who at- tempts to personate a genuine Voter. Demo- cratic leaders say they will heed the Repub- lican cry to ‘‘watch the registry Usts’’ to the discomftare of Martin and his heelers. HE WROTE A LETTER, J. HODGE 18 IN A VERY DEEP HOLE.

J. L. BRADY. FARMINGTON’S DEMOCRACY. FARMINGTON, Mo., Oct. 22.—Alarge audi- ence assembled at the court-house in this city yesterday afternoon to hear what Col. R. W. Fyan and Judge Woodside had to say for Democracy and Democratic principies. The speakers were introduced to their Farm- ington audience by Hon. F. M. Carter of this city, who was one of Col. Fyan’s com- petitors for the Congressional nomination. Judge Woodside made the opening speech, in which he defended the Democratic adminis- tration of affairs in Missour! in a very effect- ivemanner. Col. Fyan spoke for nearly two hours in a most impressive manner and his hearers were greatly pleased at his clear and explicit enunciation of the issues of the day. He will receive a majority of from 500 to 7 % oft ſthe votes ok St. Francois County. . Groves M. Lane uf St. Louis County spoke to the Repub- licans, und some Democrats, of Farmington at Braun's Hall last evening. His audience was certainly well entertained, even the Democrats joining in the laughter at his sallles at their expense. A GRAND RALLY. Conway, Mo., Oct. 22.—The grandest rally ever had at this place was demonstrated to- night by a procession of Democrats, with torches, nearly a quarter of a mile in length. Farmers came through mud and rain from all sections of the country to hear Hon. Sam Dickey of Marshfield who was billed to speak here to-night, but owing to the bad weather failed to be present. Maj. H.W. Hickman, Rallroad Commissioner, of Jefferson City, Hon. J. W. Faris of Lebanon and M. Self of Marshfield were present an entertained the audience with excellent speeches on the issues of the day. The Leb- anon Flambeau Club and Bland band, fifty in number, were present to help make the rally a success. CRISP AT CARTHAGE. CaRTHAGE, Mo., Oct. 22.--The Ellison Opera-house of this city was filled this afternoon with a crowd anxious to hear Col. Jou 1. Crisp, the veteran Democratic silver-tongued orator of Kansas City, whose record in behalf of Democracy inthis State has made his name a household word. He made it plain to his hearers that every charge made by Warner and his satellites against grand oid Missouri as a backward state were false. He recited proofs of the progressive character of the old-time Democrats, when Benton’s voice was heard in her councils and showed that the progress under Democracy, since the overthrow of the radical ring, has been constant and solid. The Colonel’s style was vigorous and pleasing, and from begin- ning to end made a fine impression on his hearers. The stalwart defender of Democ- racy took his 89 for Sarcoxie, where he speaks to-night, FILLEY’S LONE HAND. SPRINGFIELD, Mo., Oct. 22.—John C. Tars- ney failed to appear this eveningand the proposed debate between him and Chauncy I. Filley did not materialise. The ‘‘elim- inated’’ spoke to the Republicans at the Court-house, talking a good deal about Filley and the tarick, but nothing of Warner and his campaign. ILLINOIS POLITICS. REPUBLICAN DEMONSTRATION AT BLOOMINGTON A FAILURS, BLoomineton, III., Oct. 23.—This city isa scene of excitement, recalling more nearly scenes of former campaigns than at any time this fall. Itis Republican day and for it Re- publicans had moved heaven and éarth to bring people here. Up toa few weeks ago it looked as if election day would come without an attempt by the Republicans at having any great demonstration, as the early part of the campaign passed away in apathy and in- difference on their side, But a short time since they secured John M.

Republicans who insist that Hill and the Tammany leaders will knife Mr. Cleveland in New York do not credit these able poli- ticians with sense enough to keep them- selves. outof the fire. That they should not know the temper of the mass of Demo- crate with reference to themselves and the campaign in New York is incredible. The feeling of the Democracy of the country is most intense on this subject. The suspicious resentment with which Hill and his friends „were treated at Chicago was as nothing to the unutterable indignation which any treachery or even damaging apathy on the part of Hill and his friends in the New York election would arouse. Their hope of maintaining any stand in the par- ty depends upon their carrying New York, Should the State be lost through no fault oftheirs, they would find ita gigantic task to avert the party’s condemnation and the slightest proof of their unfaithful- ness would bring upon them a whirlwind of Democratic anger. knows that New York is more Democratic than it ever was and that conditions are favorable to Democratic success. This has been affirmed by the men who are held ac- countable for the election in the Btate and they will have to answer for the result. Defeat in New York under any circum- stances, whether it caused the defeat of Mr. Cleveland or not, would mark for de- struction every leader of the anti-Cleve- land Democratic forces in the Btate. The voice of New York’s machine would be treated with scorn and contempt in the next National Democratic convention. On the other hand victory would nourish the ambitions of the New York leaders. The eyes of the Democracy are fixed upon Mr. Hill and his friends in this campaign and if they are not blind doltsthey know it. — . — — THE CAMPAIGN OF IDIOCY. The following letter has been received at this office from a prominent nincompoop in the Republican party whose idiocy can- not be doubted, and whose name and address is at the service of anyone who would like to see a political freak: To the Editor of the Pos!- Dispatch: I have 50 cents that I would like to invest in a New Missouri. The prospectus is glitter- ing, but I want to be sure of realizing a for- tune on the investment, which I can only do if the Poor Old Missouri which I have read so much about in Republican newspapers be- comes the New Missouri which Maj. Warner promises should he be elected. Give me 0 best judgment, and oblige Yours ResPECTFULLY. This presents a fair sample of the balder- dash which distinguishes the Warner cam- paign, but we can not refrain from indulg- ing in a few remarks on the subject. We advise the writer not to invest in Poor Old Missouri’’ with the hope of realizing onanew Missouri. The new Missouri of Warner promise isa myth. The glittering prospectus is part of a politieal green goods scheme. We advise him not to invest his 50 conts at all, but to keep it in his sock. It he entrusts himself with it he will cer- tainly lose it. If he must invest it let him go toKansas and buy an idle and dis- mantled brewery ora farm covered with a | growing mortgage. There is one way and one way only of making money on the New Missouri scheme.

It should be remembered that the New York. Tribune, Col. Whitelaw Reid’s pa- per, ata time when the Lodge Force bill and the McKinley Tariff bill were both pending insisted that the Republicans in Congress ought to give precedence to the Lodge bill for the reason that it carried within it the possibility of a dozen higher tariff bills. this us can nomination for Vice-President, same Whitelaw Reid thus threatens anew with the force bill: The Southern white men who were lately its chief, as they were its most interested, protect them from being themselves counted out of elections they have fairly won—as the other day in Alabama—by their own white fellow Democrats. In thesg words the Republican nominee for Vice-President apparently insists that nothing in President Harrison's letter shall be construed asan abandonment of the effort to foist Federal control of both Federal and State elections upon us. It will be observed that Mr. Reid even insists that the Democratic opponents of the Lodge bill are now regretting that Federal control was not applied by its en- actment to their recent State election in Alabama in which no Federal office or policy at all was in any way involved. The idea of centralizing the control of all elections in the hands of the powers that be at Washington is distinctly avowed for the whole Republican party by its nominee for the Vice-Presidency! And yetthey tellus thatthis idea is abandoned. They told us the same thing pending theelections of 1890. After the election the whole power of the party and the administration was exerted to drive that bill through Congress. All this yowl- ing about wild-cat banks cannot make the people deaf to the continued Repub- lican advocacy of a bill which, if enacted, would surround every ballot-box in the United States with something worse than a thousand wiid eats. — THE RIGHT TO GO BAREHEA DED. An unfortunate Englishman, who likes „to do as he pleases, writes to a London paper to complain that his neighbors won’t let him go bareheaded. He does not assign any reason for his singular prefer- ence but simply says he likes it. His neighbors, however, think he is cracked because nobody would do what nobody else does unless there is something wrong with his morals or his ‘‘intellex.’’ The ground occupied by the poor man’s persecutors is that held by ‘‘the great compact majority’’ the world over. It may bea very foolish thing to go bare- headed, but it hardly justifies active war- fare against him. Silent contempt or pity would be more in keeping with the size of the sin. But the world loves the usual and resents the odd or original as an af- front to its common moral sense, which in- deed, it is. The majority demands uni- formity and conformity on pain of its dis- pleasure, sometimes expressed by a with- drawal of friendship and sometimes by a volley of brickbats, as in this case of the hatless Englishman. To the average man morality is nothing but usuality, if a word may be coined to denote the idea, and any departure from accustomed practices is de- nounced as a sign of dissatisfaction which has its root in lunacy or vicious character. It is a curious fact too that this hatred of oddity is strongest in Democratic com- munities like England and the United States, where the right to do as one pleases’’ is supposed to have been won by centuries of conflict. Intolerant sentiment is as strong among us as intolerant laws were among our great-grandfathers. The Democracy is so well satisfied with what it has achieved that it doubts whether the hence tends to a conservatism and con- ventionalism which, to the man who would go bareheaded, are grand and gloomy. Every one admits that change must come. But it must not come to-day. Some other day, usually located in the far future, is always fixed upon for the simultaneous adoption by every one of the idea which now impertinently or insolently asks for entertainment. When the great compact majority makes up its mind to go bare- headed then the hatters may retire from business, for it will then be sinful for the minority to go covered, and the English- man who suffered from brickbats will get a monument and a line in the catalogue of heroes. But he will not be here then. It is all very strange and hard to under- stand. The only conclusion possible is that one should not try to get the start of the world. Don’t go bareheaded. Let ‘hatters. _ — Top railroad ring has successfully played the same trick in the matter of the Supreme Court contest that the Four Courts combine worked in the Circuit At- torneyship. It also is prepared to ‘eatch the coon coming and go- ing. ‘The Populist party, which is posing as the foe of monopoly, corporate aggres- sion and the money power has been in- duced’’ to serve its purpose by placing upon its Supreme Court ticket thb name of Judge tw.

In order that the ring might be safe on the Democratic side, Judge Shirk used all of his in- fluence to have Sherwood nomi- nated. With Sherwood on the Democratic ticket and Shirk on the Repub- lican and Populist tickets, the railroad ringsters doubtless feel that they can laugh at popular indignation, The glee of. the ringsters may be turned into mourning, however, if the honest citizens choose to vote right. 1 ** -_- = — — THE courtesies of the occasion prevented any of the orators. of the World's Fair dedication from telling the truth. What is the true significance of the White City built on ‘the shores of Lake Michigan? If it means anything it means that the people of the world are to bring their products, the work of their hands and brains to learn of each other, to promote commerce and mutual properity and eomfort by ex- change. Yet this object of the Exposition is made a hollow mockery by the protect- ive policy which shuts off each nation from every other, limite its wealth to its own resources and throttles commerce, From the Republican standpoint the Ex- position is a farce and the promotion of its object a disastrous policy. MR. Waxeuanom made a great speech at Chicago on Friday, but he also did more; he corrected a historical error that has been prevalent ever since the middle of the seventeenth century. He speaks of those Englishmen who ‘‘struck the coast a little lower down, calling their haven of | rest after the great republican commoner, and founding by Hampton Roads a race of heroes and statesmen.’’ Until Mr. Watterson corrected the error, it was the general supposition that the great re- publican commoner’’ was named John Hampden. Historians and encyclopediste will be thankful to Col. Watterson for correcting the orthographic blunder into which they all have fallen. —— . —ä—œW Pw̃—mẽ—— Ir is alleged by the Republicans that the Miner law was suggested and drafted by ex-Senator Jones of Florida, who is an inmate of a retreat for the insane near Detroit. Mr. Jones, when not possessed with the idea that he is persecuted by the British Government, is said to be perfect- ly clear-headed. Itis very sad, if true, that the Republicans have been knocked out by acrazy man. Many of them, however, have fora long time shared Mr. Jones’ hallucination and believed themselves in danger of being persecuted by the British Government, . SoME of the bills contracted by the Har- rison National Committee in 1888 have not yet been paid and it is said that Chairman Carter refused to take charge of the cam- paign this year unless enough was guaran- teed to prevent a similar scandal. This was a wise course. The committeemen are personally responsible and as Mr. Carter is not a rieh man it will be disagreeable in case of defeat. It is one of the possibilities that the grand old party will be 60 nearly destroyed that its obligations will be worthless and a dead party is as void of assets as a turnip of blood. - , THE sympathies of pretty unmarried men of moderate or imadequate means are un- doubtedly with the New York man who mar- ried a rich widow on her settling upon hima fortune of $100,000. If she withheld from him $75,000 is it tobe wondered at that he should seize upon her stocks and bonds to secure debt, or even carry off her blue-eyed boy, the offspring of husband No, 1? Whena rich widow makesa contract witha pretty man she is no more justified in violating it than she would bein repudiating her millinery bill. Seventy-five thousand dollars is a good deal of money to withbold from a devoted husband accustomed to expending whatever moneys havecome intohis hands, and wo- man’s love may well be doubted when she refuses to perceive that she isin duty, as well as in law, bound to pay up. —_ un Ir is asserted by an author who professes to know all about Mars, that marriages on that planet are not permitted until there is a va- | cancy in the population. This regulation may do well enough for Mars, but on this planet it would not work well. The ardent lover of this earth is nota bad man, but un- der the laws of Mars how long would it be be- fore he would create a vacancy in the popn- lation and get himself into the Criminal Court? An ardent lover of our planet could scarcely say tohissweetheart, ‘‘Dear Julia, our wedding will have to be postponed again ; old Flicker didn’t die last night, and the doc- Lor has hopes that he may hold out a week longer. The time will never come, down here, when Cupid will be willing to wait on Death’s slow motions. THE conversation between two angry Cin- cinnatians is described as so heated in its character that the paint on the calling began to, blister and the goldfish in an aquarium were done to a turn.“ Was it a Cincinnati conversation that inspired the poet when he wrote: Bright-eyed fancy, hovering oer, Scatters from her pretured urn Thoughts that breathe and words that burn. THE numerous high and expensive wooden walls that have been raised in the westera partofthecity toshut out unpleasing pros- pects and baffie curious eyes, may yet be made profitable.

It is announced that Senator Matt Quay is to be installed at the Republican national headquarters alongsidé of Dave Martin to give direction to the closing days of the cam- paign. It is the same old gang and the same old game. Martin and Hackett have organized and prepared for corruption, The Pharisees and fat-friers have supplied the money. Quay is to superintend its disbursement. This is the way the election was carried in 1888. This is the way that the Republican managers are planning and plotting to carry it now. The presence of Quay and Martin can have no other meaning. Neither has any repute or skill except as a political crook. Both are adepts at bribery, trading, eolonizing, false voting and other dishonest means of carrying elections, They are wanted here because their methods are needed, They are em- ployed to save by Gesperate means a desper- ate cause. We do not believe they ean succeed. The WORLD’S exposure of Martin's character, like its previous exposure of Quay’s crimes, has put the Republlean campaign under police surveillance. The new ballot law makes effective bribery dificult. The regis- tration law renders fraud dificult. The con- trol of election boards by the Democrats will make the intimidation of voters difficult. The promise is that the decent Republican: who sanction the employment of Quay and Martin will this year soil their record in vain, Plain Words. From the New Fork Times. It will be a severe strain on the impu- dence even of John Wanamaker to ignore the proofs submitted to him of violation of the law forbidding political assessments by post masters in Allegany County in this State He can say, and will say, that the proofs are not such as would convict the offenders in a court ofiaw. Thatistrue. But the evidence issuchas makes the offense perfectly cer- tain, and Mr. Wanamaker caneasily get such as would send the offenders to State Prison. If he does nat do it—and he will not —itis because he is in sympathy with the offenders, Nor is it any wonder, considering his own record, that he should wish to keep any man who violates the law, for party purposes, out of prison. He remembers Bardsley., The Irish Response to Blaine’s Blarney. From the Catholic Sunday Union, We concieve it to de the meanest, most wanton insult to Irish manhood ever at- tempted since the time of the ‘‘soupers.’’ Then the poor father was led to the house of recantation to renounce his principles in or- der to obtain soup to keep his children from starving to death. Blame and Rarrison call u pon us to renounce our political principles in order to keep Patrick Egan ina fat office, and Ford, Kerwan & Co. in fat contracts and pickings. What do they take us for? It was said to one poor fellow who went through the form of recantation in Ireland to save his starving family from death, that as he en- tered the place of ceremony he cried: ‘‘Ohb, good-by, God Almighty, until the potatoes grow?’’ Protection Dejection. From the Philadelphia Record. A dejected Republican organ viciously re- marks that the negroes of Georgia and Flerida appearto have swallowed the Dem- ocratic ticket with the same greed with which they swallow a watermeion,.’’ The compar- ison is excellent. It seems that the digestion of the colered brethren in Georgia and Florida has not been impaired in the least by swal- lowing the Democratic watermelon, They had been fed too long on the dry and decep- tive husks ef Republican protection.

The Vice-President of the Untted States happened to obstruct the pathway of one of the hired men of the dedication hall and was gruffiy ordered to g ont of der way.

To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch: We have for some time noticed that several of your correspondents (one giving himself the tit!e of Uncle Tom) have written vari- ous articles concerning our business. One of these appeared in your issue of the 19th, and another, signed ‘‘Anti-Monopolist,’’ on the th inst.

In regard to enameled ware, treated upon by your ‘‘anti-monopolist’’ friend, we wish to say that, of course, enameling is not new. It has been known for perhaps the last 200 years.

New Yorn, Oct. 22.—The following de- “scription of a breakfast with Pope Pius IX. at ; the then Empress Carlotta, of Mexico, went suddenly insane, is written 0 who was the ‘Pontiff’s Chamberlain at the time: Poor Carlotta, I wonder now, as I am writ- * ing this incident of her life, whether she ever recalled the morning she took breakfast with ‘His Holiness, the late Pope Pius IX. It was thie last time the ex-Empress of Mexico spoke ‘@ rational word, and her days since have been spent in a castle in Trieste, where I last saw her in 1888, a hopeless lunatic, whose past, present and future are a blank. That breakfast and its tragic ending will ever be vividly photo- gra phed on my mind. the wants of the warning, I saw her re of toast from the Pope's tray and dip it nto a bowl of broth from which the Holy Father was drinking. Ra she ate it; like a starving wolf, never taking her eyes from the pontiff, who regarded her with calm astonishment. Slow- ly he drew back his chair. The unusual act took him by surprise and the quickness with which it was done almost took his breath away. „Jam doing this in order that you may not poison me,’’ exclaimed the Empress without a trace of emotion in her cold, studied voice. * It was evident that the Holy Father was — shocked and it is easily imagined hat we were more so, Carefully the Pope scanned the features of his guest. All tue while the Empress continued de- vouring the Pope’s broth and toast. Thoroughly composed, the Pope regarded the strange scene as if awaiting its end. Neither the steward norI cared to stir un- less at command and the word was not given. The Empress soon threw her napkin on the tray and this gavethe steward opportunity to move forward and.remove the dishes. After he had gone out I was alone with the pair. DEALING WITH A MANIAC. It was evident that the Empress had lost her reason, and I could see that it dawned upon the Pope that he had a maniac to deal with. Presently he gave me the signal to retire, which I obeyed, closing the doorasI withdrew. It was now about 1o0’clock and I remained stationed at the door outside, but I could not hear a single word that was spoken. Slowly the minutes passed away. At 2 o’clock the steward appeared with the Holy Father’s frugal lurcheon, and 1 again entered the chamber to announce the meal, Empress was still seated as I had left her with her head bowed, seeming buried in deep thought. As I turned to go the Holy Father, who had also not moved from his chair dur- ing these two hours of this painful audience, said to me: : **Summon Cardinal Antonelli the Empress.’’ He spoke in a rather undertone of voice than was his custom, but still the Empress gaveno sign that she understood the polite yet firm intzmation that the audience was at an end. Cardinal Antonelli’s apartments were directly above and I hastily summoned him.

Somebody having inquired whether there was any truth inthereportthat he proposed to visit Chicago next year, the Prince re- plied that he should greatly like to see the exhibition, which was evidently going to be the biggest thing of the kind ever accom- plished, but he doubted whether he could get away next year at a suitable time. It was then suggested that the great ex- pense involved would probably induce the committee to keep the exhibition open fora second season. The Prince thereupon said he hoped they would as he then might be able to arrange a visit. Such a visit would be strictly incognito.

She had become rigid and did not move. As the Cafdimal cept the hospitality of his American friends. An unforeseen difficulty has arisen in con- nection with the Paris fund of the Irish Par- liamentry party, even assuming that thetwo sections can agree upon the terms. At the instance of Treasurer Healy, inquiries were AND SO ON, nad the option of establishing his court at either Milan or Venice. Not altogether in accord with the wishes of his brother Franz Joseph, the present Emperor of Austria, he chose Venice. It was an old love and the associations of Ris youth that caused him to select the city onthe water. He had been educated in the Naval College of St. Anne and had a fond re- a . oa * gard for the royal palace in the Plaza of San Marco, where he took his abode. He was the nephew of the Dowager Empress Marianne, the widow of Emperor Ferdinand, who abdi- ‘cated in 1848, and with the means furnisned by huis aunt he was enabled to live in great splendor. Maximillian and-Carlotta were very devout. Every Sunday morning they attended Mass at the Cathedral of St. Marks, preceded by twelve gorgeously attired courtiers, As they entered the church portals they were re- ceived by a priest in hissurplice, who handed them the aspersory filled with holy water. It so happened that during the years of 1852 and 1856 I was a humble assistant to the Sacristy ofthe Church of St. Mark, and it frequently fell to my duty to meet the august worshipers at the church door. I had known Maximillian many years be- fore when we were students in the College of St. Anne, at which, by-the-way, the Emperor Franz Joseph also received part of his mili- tary education. It was the custom of the students to go upon excursions up the Grand Canal or Malumocco during the holidays, and Idistinctly remembered that both the Em- perors frequently joined us in these outings. On one or two occasions I enjoyed the honor of being specially invited to accompany the Princes, with whom I was on speaking terms. Thus it was rather strange that we should again meet at Venice at * time, Maximiliian as Viceroy and I an humble priest of the holy church, HER MISSION TO ROME. Nor was it strange that I should afterwards met tbe Princess Carlotta—Empress of Mex- ico—in the private chamber of His Holiness, Pope Pius IX., whose chamberlain I had be- come. Ihave not forgotten the date; it was Oct. 4, 1866. She was accompanied by Cardi- nal Antonelli, the grand old assistant and Secretary of state tp the Pontiff. The object of her mission I never learned, but it seemed to me that she came to implore the sym- pathies of the Pope to save the unfortunate Maximilian, who was in prison in Mex- ico, condemned to @eath. The Empress, as we all know, managed to escape on a French steamerand reached Paris, where she had vainly hoped to secure the interference of Napoleon. Irememberherwell. She was a grand, noble woman, a typical empress, whose simple, yet lofty dignity, did not fail to Impress me. She was alone, having dis- missed her ladies-in-waiting in the throne Dall. She had requested an audience with the Pope, and high-noon of that eventful day was the hour the pontiff set apart to re- ceive her. Maximillian had been shot some time before, but asi understood subsequently she was yet ignorant of his sad death. As I was the attendant on the ante-room ofthe Pope’s private chambers, naturally I was the first to pay my respects to the Empress, How the meeting did surprise me. Although I bad often before spoken to her, she did not recognize the priest who had offered her holy water so many times before in the Church of St. Mark when she was stilla princess. How sad she looked, pale and anxious; she nodded in recognition of my low obeisance. There was a slight twitchingof the muscles of her face and her eyes had a fixed, vacant stare. I opened the audience with the customary etiquette of the Vatican and led tie way up to the Pope’s private chamber. The pontiff stood waiting at the door, and after I had formally presented the Empress she followed him inside. This, in brief, was the etiquette ofthe Vatican. Sovereigns visiting the Pope in’ private were received in this way, while those whose visits were of a public nature were ushered into the throne hall, where his holiness was seated in mis robe of office, by the prelates of She is hungry, therefore command steward to make haste.’’ I rose from Rade knee and hurried out.

T., Oct. 22.—Ex-Speaker Thomas B. Reed addressed a Republican mass meeting here to-night. Fully 3,000 peo- ple listened to him and his witty remarks kept them in good humor. He began by telling his listeners he knew he was going to talk on a subjectthey were tiredof. The necessity for the discussion arose from the fact that there was a division on the questions involved in the campaign. One set of this division represented Republicans, who were sure of and knew what a law was, and the others represented the Democrats, who helped to pass a law and a sort of object lesson from the laws, said he, give the Democrats some lessons that are of some practical benefit to them. They don’t like to go to school and they kick at first, but after- wards become as docile as lambs. The history of the Democratic party shows that they have always had somebody in their party who are croaking that someting or other can’t be done. The said we could not abolish slavery. We abol- ished it. They said we could not resume specie payment. They said we could not pay bonds. Wedidit. The Democratic party was orgunized to find fault. Cleveland hates silver, Bland loves it, and both hate the Republican party, but for dif- ferent reasons. Whenever they get into power we Republicans have to get aderrick and get them out of the hole. I have done so much of this that 1am begin- ning to think lam the guardian of the party and I have to speak ‘affectionately of it. What has been the effect of protection during the past year? The increase of tax in Boston is 45 per cent, and the increase of wages 110 per cent. Every city in the Union shows a like increase. The country is prospering. They tell us oursystem !Is only fora certain class. That is so. It is for the working class, whether they work with their hands or brains. Mr. Reed alluded in sarcastic tones and his audience laughed over the allusion to the report of Labor Commissioner The trouble with the Democrats was that they had a big bugbear in the word tax. We don't want any tax. Tax is taking money out of the poor man’s pocket and making him starve,’ they cry. Well, I don’t see anybody here that looks very thin. You can’t find a workingman inthis country whois as badly off as the poor unprotected men in Europe. Why, that very tax that the Democrats weep and wall about is the greatest barrier that keeps the army of pauper labor from in- vading this country and destroying the fac- tories and workshops and degrading our la- bor to the level of European labor.“ Mr. Reed spoke for about an hour and twenty minutes and kept his audience in great good humor by relating many good stories, Mistaken For a Bus. From the Philadelphia Inquirer, Ben Myers, who is a driver for a furniture house of Camden, hascharge of a new and fine team of the firm, in which he drives three beautiful horses abreast. The other day he was proceeding up Broad street with a load of goods piled within the wagon’s heavy curtains, when a lady motioned to him the familiar feminine sort of signal to stop. He did not do so at first, not realizing the situation, when she cried out: Hey. there, why don't you stop?’’ He did stop and asked: What should I stop for?“ Why. | want to get in of course, she de- clared, angrily and petulantly. Ben soberly began to make room on the seat beside himself when she snapped out: No sir; if there's no seat inside the bus I’ll walt, and then, suddenly realizing that the team was not a bus at all, she turned crimson, bit ber lip, turned her back, gazed down the street and patted Rer foot on the pavement.

Under the advice of their lawyers Monroe & Co. replied that they did not think that they could surrender the funds untila decis- ion had been reached in the French courts determining who was entitled to them. This is not a final answer, but there is lit- tle hope that it will be changed. The bank- ers are under serious liabilities in regard to the funds, asthe question of trusteeship is involved, and the French law is very strict oa that point. At the same time the agreement of the re- lease for the fund seems more remote this week than last. Redmond has refused to agree to McCarthy’s proposal to limit the ad- mitted claims on the fund to £8,000, and the controversy continues to be waged in the bit- terest spirit. The McCarthyites have held a series of county conventions during the week, and have started county funds exclusively for the | tenants. NOT FAVORING SEPARATION. Sir Charles Gavan Duffy, interviewed on the details ofthe Irish question to-day, said that he thought the present home rule pro- gramme was a Wise one and had general ap- proval. There was only one thing to be added to it; that was to give every tenant the right to purchase at fair rates and on easy pay- mepts. He was asked: Is there any widespread feeling in Ireland in favor of separation?’’ 1 think not; I believe it has died out or lingers only in a few isolated minds. Mould you agree to Ulster being excluded from the jurisdiction of the Dublin Parlia- ment?’’ No, I would rather have no Parliament on the college green than consent to any such exclusion.’’ **You do not think Ulster would be unjustly treated by the Catholic majority?’’ ‘Certainly not. How could they? Unequal taxation is absurd; religious persecution there is no fear of. Besides, the interest and feelings of Ulster might be safeguarded by the local authority. It would not be well that the legislature should stand alone. Local government is the necessary complement of a central government. Then the constitution might and should remove certain questions from controversy. Thus it might be made unlawful to submit to either house any proposal giving any church any concession not given to other churches.’’ **Would you endow the Catholic clergy?’’ No, we have got rid of one endowed church and I would not create another. The voluntary principle works well.’’ And the Lord Lieutenant, would you have one?’’ es, of course, the crown must be repre- sented; his functions shall be identical with those of the Governor of a great colony.’’ SPENCER AND RENAN. Herbert Spencer’s declaration, made a day or twoago, may have the effect of savinga great many white lies, especially in America, where every one hates to admit he has not read everything. When Renan died the Paris Figaro wrote to a number of literary men asking their esti- mate of Renan’s genius. Spencer replied with a short line, saying: iI have never opened one of his books. This brought down a storm about the philosopher's ears, so he wrote a letter, Just made public, saying that for years it had been his custom only to read books Dearing on his special studies. He said he was an observer and a thinker, not a reader, and went on to admit that there were many famous English authors with whom he was quite as unfamiliar as with Renan. This should bolster up the av- erage man’s backbone, when he is tempted to teli about the latest novel. THE MURDER THEME, Speaking of novels, if signs can be relied upon, the forthcoming crop of novels prom- isesto be full of murders, hangings and dramatic death sentences. When Neill, allas Cream, was told by the Judgein his black cap yesterday that he would be taken out and hanged by the neck until dead the court room was filled not only with those whose business brought them there but a large part ot the space was set aside for the big novelists of England. They swarmed into the place, studied the Juage and the prisoner, and made minute notes. While the man was told he must die they watched*every muscle, every quiver of emo- tion, studied every nervetension through mental microscopes. Even Sir Arthur Sul- livan, who has little use for anything serious, was an interested on-looker. All this study - ing should bear fruit in forthcoming books. IN SIBERIAN MINES. One of the most horribly tascmating books ever printed has just been issued in Berlin. It tells of the. experiences ofa young Rus- sian professor condemned to the Siberian lead mines. All the horrible incidents are perfectly fresh, and their recital is in the form of a journal and letters. His arrest itself reads like a romance, for he was taken away on his wedding night. His name is Jaksakoff. He was only 28 years old on the evening of Jan. 7, 1882, and was being married to the daughter of a rich Moscow merchant. There was a gay assemblage present, and zust as the ceremony was completed he was asked to step to the door. He stepped out without a word to anx one. Three detectives the door.

The whole affair, they stated would not last longer than aquarterof an hour. Jaksakoff complied, and left without telling any one. He never returned again. At the police station he was thrust into a damp, narrow cell, Here he spent his wed- ding night. It was only the next morning that he learned from.a sulky policeman that he was accused of taking part in an attempt on the life of the Czar. He was absolutely innocent, ashe proved. On May 10, 1882, he writes from his prison at Nijni Novgorod, Here is one extract from the journal: ‘‘Iam locked up with fifty oth- ers within the four walls of a narrow cell and the mold covers the walls thickly. On the floor the dirty and filthy straw reaches to our ankles. This is our resting place. Two rows of low shelves stretch across the whole of the room. Here, I should rightly have room to sleep, and here others do sleep on the Dare boards, withouta pillow ofany kind, but we have given up ourplaces to the women of two banished families who, with their children, are following their husbands voiuntarily into exile. The man who has ever seen better days cannot have any idea of the sufferings of exiled prisoners; he cannot believe his own eyes when he is thrust into a lonely cellar, more wormy and horrible than the grave, and is told that for the future this is to be his abode. **Most of those so circumstanced gasp for air like any creature accustomed to living on land upon being thrown into the water. Their heads swim, and a few minutes after entering they faint, but their companions, the other poor wretches, call them back to life again, and ina day or two everybody has got accustomed to the air of a Russian dun- geon, filled as it is with the stench of corpses and full of the plague typhus germs.’’ The dwellings allotted to us werecaves cut in the sides of a mine and closed by barred doors, where eight or ten prisoners slept on the bare and icy cold floor. They were not evenableto Keep each other warm, as the wneelbarrows, which were chained to them night and day, prevented them. “The only thing the prison granted the condemned men was the compassion of women. Now I saw what seilf-sacri- fice woman is capable of. One woman shared the weight of her comrade’s wheelbarrow. She clung to the weak, for- saken man, embraced with her numbed arms and warmed the poor wretch with her kisses and tears. The book has made a sensation. LONDON DEAD POLICEMAN, London is taking a curious interest in a dead policeman named Merriman. Merri- man was for years a model officer with never a charge avainst him until the other day, when he was hauled up before his superiors charged with being in a saloon. In spite of his denial and the utter lack of evidence he was fined and threatened with transference to another district. The in- justice of it all broke the poor man’s heart, an unusually tender one for a police- man, so after writing a farewell letter he jumped into the Thames and himself.

The trouble was over a check for $5,000 given by Geo. Maxwell to the notorious Marquis of Allesbury. They were both down at Briton last February, when the Marquis invited Maxwell to his room in the hotel, where they played. Maxwell lost and gave a check, which proved of no value. Maxwell’s defense isthat he was so drunk that he didnot know what he was doing when he gave it. LONDON TOPICS. Behold how great a thing may spring from a little mustard seed. J. J. Colman, the head of the great mustard industry which bears his name, is to be elevated to the peer- age. He gets this rank, notonly because he is enormously rich, but because he has con- tested several doubtful seats for the Glad- stonians, and has placed his big country house at Norwich at the disposal of Glad- stone. His peerage is withheld at the present moment until the Gladstonian managers are able to make certain that they can providea successor for his seat. Copenhagen has been enjoying a carnival of misdoing. During the past week there have been two big embegziements. Another director has absconded with his company’s funds and three young ladies of good stand- ing have killed themselves, The biggest de- tective hasrun away after the failure of his blackmailing scheme, and the American Con- sul, Ryder, is promised eight months’ penal servitude, all of which is a pretty good record for a comparatively small town. The King and Queen of Sweden and the Crown Princess have all subscribed to help the women exhibiting at the Chicago Fair. One of the attractions at the Chicago Fair will be Moody, the evangelist, who is going to start a great revival there during the progress of the exhibition. He has met with his old-time success here.

Shrewd Device by Which the Greeules ” Were Gulled Successfully. From the Electrical Review, It was but a plain. mineral spring, but the cups that the patients d from were fastened bya brass chain to an iron bar which inclosed the mouthofthe bubbling spring. You were prevented from coming too close by another circular iron railing about eight feet across. The ground around the spring was naturally moist, and it was either this ground or the iron which was oneof the ends of an open electric circuit. The cup held by the chain was the other end. The person drinking simply completed the circuit through the body, and when he had finished the attendant kindly and immedi- ately removed the cup from his hand. The drinkers always feltthat ‘‘delightfal tingling sensation,’’ and rejoiced that they had found the fountain of youth. Some imagined they even felt the new blood cours- ing through their veins. A smali induction coil ingeniously concealed and connected with the cup and railing was a cheap method for producing that ‘‘invigorating feeling. College Men. From the New York Press.

An Ingenſious Explanation of the Recent Seizure of Sealers. -Vreroria, British Columbia, Oct. 22.—Capt. Deiaverton of the Russian cruiser Seabiakias, who has been making setzures of sealers, is said to have been pronounced insane by the Governor of Behring Island. He is also said tohave been discharged from the Russian navy. Many of the sealing men welcomed this in- formation as throwing a flood of light upon the situation. Others are inclined to be skeptical, and say, finding its position un- tenable, the Russian Government has igno- miniously shifted the blame tothe Captain’s shoulders and pronounced him insane to avoid an international difficulty. Upon one point both parties agreed, that information fromthe Governor of Behring Island being true, the Government of the Czar cannot avoid making restitution in full to sealers. The Electropoise.

The Death-Dealing Explosion of a Pow- der-Charged Gas-Pipe. SEVEN PERSONS KILLED OUTRIGHT AND SCORES SERIOUSLY WOUNDED. The Dead and Dying Scattered in All Di- rections—A Scene Resembling the Car- nage of a Battle-Field—Cause of the Premature Explosion Not Known— Other Casualties. Los ANGELES, Cal., Oct. 22.—A frightful ex- plosion attended the Columbus Day celebra- tion at this place last night. A large number of people, including many children, had crowded around the spot where preparations were being made to explode a piece of six-inch gas pipe loaded with powder. The contrivance exploded prematurely and caused dreadful havoc. It is known that seven persons were killed outright or received injuries from which they died soon afterwards. Besides these it is be- lieved that at least five others were killed or fatally injured and a number of others were seriously injured. The dead as far as known at present are: FRANK Forp, aged 14. AGRITA COHEN, aged 8. Louis ODEN, aged 12. ANTONIO RIGHETTO. VICTOR CASSINE. Two daughters of Theodore Rapp. Among the wounded are: HERMAN CAMMAT, who works for a local fire- works maker andis supposed to have fired the fatal bomb. His right leg was amputated and he will probably die. ED GRIFFITHS, 19 years old, had flesh torn from the left leg. MIKE CULLEN, 18 years old, had his right arm fractured. B. BUNKER, 50 years old, received injuries that may prove fatal. H. J. LLor pb, aged 13, had his left leg shat- tered. He may live. Ihe scene resembled the carnage of a bat - tlefleld. The dead and injured were strewn about in all directions. As soon as the first shock of the dreadful calamity had passed every assistance was rendered. Many ofthe injured were carried away by friends, and the full extent of the horror will not be known for some time. Nothing certain is known of how the premature discharge oc- curred, The whole city is in mourning to- day. GAS EXPLOSION. CELINA, O., Oct. 22.—D. C.

Several Arrests Made for This Offense Yesterday. Among petty thieves and hoodlums, the prevailing fever just now is driving off vehicles belonging to citizens, without the permission of the owners. It has grown to an alarming degree in the past two weeks andthe police are unable to stopit owing to the leniency with which the Police Court judges have been treating this class of of- fenders. The first thief who received a prop- er punishment was tried in the Second District Police Court yesterday by Judge Paxon. His name was Michael Leahy. Last Wednesday evening at 7:70 o’clock Leahy and a companion saw a horse and buggy standing on the corner of Jefferson and Washington avenuesand when noone was looking they cut the hitching strap, jumped in the buggy and drove rapidly away. The buggy be- longed to Dr. heating Bauduy of 2812 Olive street, who valued the rig at $300. He noti- fied the police at once and word was sent to all stations. Two hours later Officers Bolimeyer ang Peagan saw two men in a buggy driving rapidly along Jefferson avenue and called upon them tohalt. Themenin the buggy tried to urge the horse on, but the panting animal could go no faster, and seeing this they jumped and ran in opposite directions. Of- ficer Ballinger caught one of them, who was recognized as Michael Leahy. On examining the horse, they found it had been driven so hardthat two shoes were worn off. The hoof of one foot was worn tothe quick. Tne animal was almost dead from over drivingand was covered with foam. When Judge Paxson heard this yes- terday morning he fined Leahy $100 for cruel- ty to animals and $100 for driving off a vehicle without the consent of the owner. Leahy’s companion has not been captured and punished, but he is known and itis only a matter of time until he is sent down tothe Work-house to join Leahy. Last night two cases of driving off’’ were reported tothe police. The first was that of J. G. Prufroek, the furniture dealer, on Olive street, who left his horse and buggy at Thir- while in Hotel Rozier it vas driven off. He reported the matter to the police and a search was begun. Before the police found it, however, E. II. Hail, who keeps a stable at 1032 North Vandeventer avenue, drove to the Four Courts and said he hada strange horse and buggy which some one had left in place of hisown. He stated that he stopped for sup- per at abouté6 o’clock at 2926 Lucas avenue and when he cameout he found another worse and buggy instead of his. It was iden- tified as Prufrock’s rig and was turned over to that gentleman. The horse had been driven very hard and both the animal and the buggy were coated with mud. Up to alate hour last night no reports were received from Mr. Hall’s rig. Yesterday James Boyle was fined $25 in the First District Police Court for drivingoffa horse and buggy without the consent of the owner, andas he could not pay it, he was sent to the Work-house. There is now pending in the Oourt of Criminal Correction, a case again st William Weber and Red“ Conley, who are charged with grand larceny, the theft being the driving of of Wm. F. Wolcott’s horse and buggy. About a week ago they jumped into the buggy which was standing onthe curband drove the horse for three hours. when they finally deserted it on Twenty- fourth street and Cass avenue, the men had three girls inthe buggy with them, The horse which before that experience was a gentle animal and could trot a mile within three minutes, is now broken-down and good-for-nothing. The buggy was a complete wreck and altogether the loss to Mr. Wolcott amounted to $500. Though it is customary to send these cases to the Police Court where the offenders receive a Work- house sentence, Mr. Walcott is determined to punish them as they deserve and send them to the penitentiary. He did this, notwithstanding that a similar case was thrown out of the Criminal Court about six years ago after the culprit had been indicted. In the eyes of the law, if a person carriesoff another’s overcoat or watch with- out the consent of the owner, and the watch or overcoat is found on the person who took | is guilty of petit or and can be sent to the penitentiary. In some citles, counties and Sates if a person should drive off with another’s horse and buggy. and the same should be found in his pessession, the punish- ment is usually inflicted on the spot andthe taker is left dangling to the nearest tree, Not so with the laws as enforced in St. Louis. There is a special statute of the State which makes ita misdemeanor to drive off a ve- hicle without the consent ofthe owner, and there is also a city ordinance which provides a fine for such an offence, It is argued in de- fense of these laws thata personmay takea drive ina rig that does not belong to him, but does not drive it out of the county or try to dispose of it by sale or trade, he should not be held gullty cf grand larceny,no matter if the horse, however valuable, may die from the treatment it receives. The same argu- ment could be made for the purloiner of a watch, that if he only wears it and does not try to sell it he is not guilty of a theft, but it daes not. The case mentioned above was ushed so far that the defendant was indicted y the n for 3 and when the case Was called the lawyer fer the defense madea motion to quash the indictment on teenth and Olive streets about 5 o’clock, and: clothing.

The motion was sustained and the case thrown of out court. No redress is offered those who lose their horses through the over-driving of the toughs and hoodlums, except that ofthe Police Court ana the greatest punishment those courts can inflict, is a sentence of six months inthe Work-house, which is reduced by good behavior, and still further reduced ifnot wiped out entirely by the friends of these hoodlums tn office. It is the freedom from punishment that makes these charact- ers so bold and seeing that they are safe in driving off’’ a horse and buggy, they are encouraged to make the nextstep and steal it and sell it, as they have done in many cases with the harness.

From the Philadelphia Times. When you have found a man you have not far to go to find a gentleman. You cannct make a gold ring out of brass. You cannot change a Cape crystal to a diamond. You cannot make a gentleman till you first finda man. To be a gentieman does not depend upon the tallor or the toilet, Blood will degenerate. Good clothes are not good habits. A gentle- man is gentle, modest and courteous; he is slow to take offense, as being one who never gives it; he is slow to surmise evil,as being one who never thinks it; he subjects his ap- petites, refines his tastes, subdues his feel- ings, controls his speech and deems every- body better than himself. ‘*He should labor and study to be a leader unto virtue, and a notable promoter thereof, directing and ex- citing men thereto by his exemplary conver- sation; encouraging them by his counten- ance and authority; rewarding the good- —— ot meaner people by his beauty and a vor. All Due to Farmer Dunn. From the Philadelphia Public Ledger. **Farmer’’ Dunn, New York’s weather man, who doesn’t like the title a bit, got into a bridge car at Brooklyn the other day, a re- porter relates, and soon an elderly female, with numerous bundles a an unwieldy umbrella, sat down beside him, As she took her seat the um- brella fell witha rattle into the aisle of the car. Mr. Dunn picked it up politely. ‘*Thank vou,“ said the owner. A moment later she turned toward Mr. Dunn and electrified him by saying ina voice loud enough for every pasvenger inthe car to hear: ‘‘I wouldn’t ave Carried that umbrella to-day if I hadn’t read in the paper that Farmer Dunn redicts a clear day, gettin’ warmer. hat settled my mind to take a shawl ang an umbrella with me.“ Down went the umbrella again, and once more the amia- ble weather praphet stooped to pick it up. The exertion made him red inthe face this time, but he appeared to grow redder when she added, Pleasantly: ‘*So you seeit is all due to Farmer D umbrella.

From the New York Evening Post, Father Martin, the new General of the Jesuits, isa Spaniard, the son of a farmer and was born at Meigar, inthe province of Burgos, rather less than fifty years ago. He is a prominent theologian, an besides being an reellen cla scholar is sald to possess a *re- markable knowledge of foreign languages. He is described as a man of energetic enarac- ter and advanced ideas, and was a close friend of the late General, Father Ander- ledy. The new General is the fifth Spaniard who has been elected to that position since the foundation of the society by Ignatius Loyola. On the deposition 0 ueen Isabella in 1868 he mi- grated to France. Returning to Spain in 1874, he was ted Rector of the Uni- versity of Sala fterwards Provin- was nominated society. His election was celebrated by a rocession and fllumination. This is the first ime that the election of a General has been eld at the monastery of Loyola. An Infallible Remedy. From the New York Press.

A4 electric street railway will be running over the Merchants’ Bridge by next summer, all plans and schemes as now proposed do not fail, The St. Louis Merchants’ Bridge ar Terminal Rallway Association have just finished a set of plans for an addition to the Merchants’ Bridge, which will make it a street railway, pedestrian and wagon bridge, and are now ready to perform their part of the contract of giving North st. Louis the much needed rapid transit between Madison and other small villages of Illinois and this ‘OF BETTER TRANSIT. ~- Some time ago the North St. Lo us Improve- ment Association, composed of business men, manufacturers and wealthy residents, who are responsible for the new electric railways „ the supe made over the railroad tracks on account of ructure of the bridge nor under itexcept by going through the peers or 8 them and that was out of the ae. On. THE PLANS. | The plans as drawn and decided upon were shown toa sum Dar PostT-DisPaTcH reporter | yesterday. The entire length of the bridge and its approaches is 7,600 feet, or about 1% miles, In the proposed plans for the street railway and road the distance will be shorter by nearly 2,000 feet, yet there will be about 4,000 feet of trestie work to be built. The beginning of the road will be made at Halland Ferry streets, west of the settling basins of the Water - works under the present trestle work and will rise at a 4 per cent — from there to the beginning of the ridge proper. An independent will be built on either side, over which the i of right and left will rigidly enforced. Up to that point where the road strikes the bridge the trestle work will be built wide enough to permit a car, a wagon andtwo destrians to move abreast, but after the ridge is reached the road Is narrowed down to 14 feet. The necessity of this is apparent. There having been no provision made for the addition by leaving a width of pier on which to rest another structure, the shelving or bracket method had to be ‘adopted. To give strength these brackets should be as short as possible, but long enough toadmit of a roadway wide enough so that des- trians and cars could 5 — each other. The brackets are to extend fourteen feet out from the bridgeon either side. They are to made of finely wrought steel and buckled to the bridge at every upright —4 oe or every twenty-nine feet. While on the bridge proper wagons and cars will have to double up and run over the same tracks but as this is only a distance of 1,500 feet there need be no 7 or clashing’ of vehicles. After leaving the bridge the road on both sides again widens to sixteen or twenty feet and continues eastwardly as a separate road until half way between the — n 2 — A. 41 — 1 — gamed How It Will Be Built. * Dullt and those now being constructed into North st. Louis, decided that some con- on should be made with the wing town of Madison, II., on the east end of the new bridge. The only means of conveyance then and now are the ferries which ply in the riyer far below the bridge and irregular tr over the bridge. The building ge revolutionized North Bt. Louis and brought it into prominence. The facilities it offered caused a car-works to locate on the east side and several manufac- turerson the St. Louis side. Other indus- tries, drawn by the numerous inducements and the splendid railroad and switching facilities, are locating in and around Madi- son, and now the Niedringhaus stamping mills and tin plate Works are on the eve of moving where land and coal is cheap and where there is plenty of room. All these manu- facturers take a great deal of their labor from the toilers who Ive in North St. Louis and who have built homes there or they are heid there by other ties and do not want to go to Madison to live. This small army of work- ers which will swell to an army of consider- able size within a year, have no way to go to their work except by the trains which the Merchants’ Bridge Co. sup- ply at intervals. No sooner did the North st. Louls Improvement Association de- cide that a rapid and frequent means of con- veyance was necessary, than Maj. Rain- water, who has always showed an admira- ble spirit toward anything proposed for the good of North St, Louis, set his engineers to work to study outa plan whereby the means might be provided. Whenthe Merchants’ bridge thought was given to making thing other than a railroad bridge, and no provision was made for any future development such as for a street railway or pedestrians. Ihe en- ginéers saw there was only one way to change it to suit the improvement and that was shelving on the side. It could not be was bflilt no it any- river and what is known as the Chicago and Alton bridge on the other side is reached, When the road leaves the dig bridge it’ dips down until there is room enough for an électric car to pass under the railroad trestle, when it crosses over tothe north and merges with the road on the other side. Then the road- way becomes one grand drive, broad enough — 2 Cars, two wa gos and two paths it rises again so as to pass Over the hicago & Alton bridge and then drops ata grade of four per cent. to the ground and continues the remainder on the way on the surface of the ground to Madison. At no place on the road will the grade be greater than 4 percent, or about the same as the approach at the east end of the Eads bridge in East St. Louis. As to the strength ofthe supports or brackets on the bridge, the engineers claim that the interval of twenty-nine feet and the manner in which they are to be constructed will sup- port a locomotive and a train of cars. Bridge Work as a rule is bulit to sugtain three times the weight contemplated to be put upon it. andthe bracket system will support even more than that. THE COST. The cost of the novel and useful addition to the bridge will be in the neighborhood of $300,000, as only the best material will be used and it will be built to last. We are ready to undertake the improve- ment, said Maj. Rainwater yesterday, and are only waiting for some one to make us a ae Aig lee age to 2 tea road over our bridge. t is not the intention of the bridge com- We are only to build the structure d then expect some one to make us an offer, to up- erate an electric line over it and pay us a fair return on what it costs us to build it.

A member of the North St. Louis Improve- ment Association said yesterday that three lines now. operating in North St. Louis were after the franchise to run over the new bridge and if either one of them got the prize the citizens of Madison could then enjoy a through ride from their homes to Broadway and Washington avenue, though of course not for one fare. pany to operate the road, you ev apd. then —_—_—_— THE NEW COLUMBIAN OLUB-HOUSE.

ST. LOUIS A TEXT. 7 Rev. Frank Tyrell Preaches on the City’s Great Attractions. THE Sr. LOUIS FAIR AND EXPOSITION EXTOLLED BY A MINISTER. He Tells ot the Wonderful Prosperity of the Great Agricultural and Mechan- ical Show and What Its Success Means ~The Purposes Served by the Exposi- tion and the Unrivaled Illumination. Rev, Frank G. Tyrell of the Central Chris- tian Church is a preacher who frequently takes occasion in his sermons to dwellon public affairs. He has more than once pro- claimed from his pulpit the great necessity of reform in public institutions, and pointed out most fercibly that unless such reform was brought about religion would suffer. But while Rey. Tyrell isalive tothe corrup- tion in municipal affairs, he is also an ob- server of all that is commendable, and his sermon last Sunday was devoted toextolling features of the St. Louis festivities, which commanded his admiration. His sermon, which was as follows, will be found ex- tremely interesting: Occupied in thy fairs. Ezek. 27-16. When commerce was much restricted and exchange of products slow and dificult, fairs were held mainly forthe purposes of trade. But as civilization spread and barriers to na- tional and international exchange one after another fell away, this necessity was re- moved and this kin é of fair ceased. Now we have in various "ana of the world, and all through our own States and Territories, fairs for the competitive exhibition of manu- facturers’ wares and products. Several of our r cities have also inaugurated the in- dustri — or, as we call it here, the sition. he St. Louis Exposition be in 1884; this is therefore the ninth year, The total attena- ance for the ſorty days each successive year was as follows: . 1887. ex 1 1891. base a The ‘management states “that the attend- ance this year will be N = to that ot tho last year, if not more. 2 that it will foot up 550,000. Thes res show an average daily attendance of from 10,000 to the receipts at the door wore $6 Allow- ing for those whoare admitted — and the probable number of children’s tickets, this shows the enormous attendance of 80 000 peo- ple for the day. It may be of interest to state that of this Vast attendance 80 percentis from the city of St. Louls, indicating the pride our citizens have in this Splendid home enterprise. And during all these years, with such throngs of people, not one serious accident has hap- pened. The building, machinery, etc., the plant ofthe Exposition, represents an in- vestment of nearly $1,000, 600, owned and managed by some of the leading citigens and business men of st. Louis. ard eight years of successful work, the osition opened to the ublic in ’92, — jer and finer and larger and costlier and more popular than ever befaye. such an enterprise cannot fail to exert a powerful in- fluence onacommunity. Itisa magnificent panorama of superb object lessons on the industrial life ot the city. It betokens inde. pendence, originality and commercial ag- gressiveness. HISTORICAL SYMBOLS. Naturally the firstthing that catches the eye of the visitor isthe street decoration and illumination. Flashing globes set in clusters and constellations of rare beauty and inde- scribable brilliance, arches and temples and continents of light; evena miniature world with the line of continent and island marked by flames of electric light. Iam glad the city rejoices in light, rather than darkness. Very suggestive are the historical symbols which form a part of the illumination. There is danger that a people forget their history; forget its grieis and its joys, its voices of congratulation and its notes of warning. The panorama of history and geography un- rolled every illumination night is enough to dazgzie the dullest eye. What a lesson for the school-children! What a revival of well-nigh forgotton memories for their fathers and mothers and grand- parents! Never was there voyage more eventful, achieving results more wonderful than that which is pictured from Spain to America by the arch over Tweifth street. Again we see the great captain, grim, silent and deter- mined, pacing the deck, waiting, looking, longing. Below are the mütters of the mutin- ous crew, making plans of assassination, from which they are only deterred by the thought that Columbus alone is able to pilot them back across the water. In spite of mutiny, inspite oftheterror of extraordin- ary natural phenomena, in spite of storm, on, on, on, he forces his way, till at last the prophecies of floating berry branch and fly ing bird are fulfilled, and the sight of land bursts upon the inspired sallor. Whence such fixedness of 33 Whence such unpexampied bravery? ‘rom genius, you say, and right; from scientific knowl- edge, and yas after all it was but a splendid guess.

THE EXHIBITS, Passing now to the Exposition proper, we notice the exhibits. And first, the machin- ery ; arms and thighs and sinews of brass and iron and steel. What tremendous power; what delicate skill; what dizzying speed. Here we see the genius ofthe inventor, and the inventor is a discoverer in the industrial world. He unveils continents of industry and unearths mines of wealth, All this ex- hibit says to heavy-handed, dull-eyed labor, **Shorter hours, cleaner work, whiter hands, finer brain, tenderer heart. the — pi ery and clething, hats and caps and boots and ahoes, groceries, g that mer- chan turn: order land, an enchanted land, more marvelous than dreamland. ’ But now we stand in the galleries of art; this is holy nd, This is dedicated to the try of color, thé harmony of form—this !s e 4— ** where the goddess ot unslumbering 282 is worshipped.

And so we must learn, while warning peeple away from so-calied Places of amusement that demoralize and beastial- ize, to ny | Open such placesas this. What it is doing for the moral health of the city In this way, perhaps noone can justly estimate. Then again, it seems to me that the Ex- position is a pacificator between labor and capital. Hereitisinthe midst of this city where we find representatives of both classes. And it saystothe laborer: ‘‘These rich men are not altogether selfish; they have made money out of the citizens; they have made money out of your labor, and here they are giving it back to you in $i, 000 and $10,000 con- tributions to support this splendid entertain- ment in your midst. Talking with one of the gentlemen directly concerned in it the other day, he emphasized thetruth of the saying: It is more Dlessed to give than re- celve. The price is democratic—25 cents for adults and 16 cents forchildren, A poor man can go and take all his family, just as he goes tothe parks. Thus you see it exerts a healthful influence on the family life, and whatever helps the family helps the com- munity, helps the State, helps the world, helps heaven. The Exposition dignifies all honest, manly labor. It is 11 to the world a higher con- ception of the trades, and if it can only di- rect the attention of your young mento the mechanical pursuits as avenues of wealth and posts of honor, it will deserve the ever- lasting gratitude of fathers and mothers and citizens. Itisa pitiable,contemptible notion that there is nothing respectable but a mer- cantile or professional career. Doubtless there are young men standing behind count- ers in this city who would make more money, save more, live better, have better health and be better men in a blacksmith or car- penter shop. Just a word of warning. There is danger that all this material show will blind men’s minds tothe spiritual and the eternal. A young man came in from the country last year and after a day at the Exposition he said: ‘‘lfeelas if the main thing in this world is to get rich. Everything I saw seemed to speak of dollars, doliars, dollars!’’ Look out, then, I say, for the ‘tyrannous usurpations ofmammon. Look out for the iron reign of materialism. Look out for the obscuration of the future life, and the eclipse ofthe soul. Rightly seen and appreciated, material grandeur exalts the soul.

According to this | ‘8timate atleast seven and possibly eleven pe dut or Michfgan’s fourteen electoral votes _ - will Be cast Yor Cleveland and Stevenson. ue results here indicated are looked for by Democrats for various reasons, chief of whieh ‘gre tue fact that Michigan will vote this year ‘for the first tnné under the Miner law which provides for the election of Presidential elec- tors by the districté which they represent in- tend ot by the State at large and that it will Vote for the first ti also under the redis- . law passed by a Democratic legis- tute. cue prediction is based upon the vote of $890, in which a Democratic plurality of 11,500 ‘as given in a total vote of 397,809. Tuis ote isusedas a basis rather than the vote 8 t 1888, n which a Republican plurality of 37,145 was returned on a total vote of 474,775, Because the apathy prevalent in Michigan, “as elsewhere, gives promise of a light vote. In 1899 the scattering vote (Prohibnion and Industrial) was 42,879 and in 1888 it was 24,730. This yéar in many of the districts the Demo- ‘e@rats and third party men have combined on electors. In the Fourth and Eleventh Dis- tricts they will present a united front to the Republicans. In the Third, Fourth, Fifth, Eighth, Eleventh Twelfth Districts the Democrats and Semillon have united in nominating Con- gressional candidates. Accepting the vote of 1890 as a basis of calculation, the First Con- 1 Distriet will certatniy co Demo- cratic. It comprises a part of the City of De. troit. “wo years ago it gave the lbemocrats a@ plurality of 4,100. J. Logan Chipman will be re-elected and a Democratic elector chosen. In the Second District the canidl- ares James 8. Gorman (Dem.) and mes O’ Donnell (Rep.), both members of the present House, representing the old Sec- ond and Third Districts, respectively. The district gave Gov. Winans a plurality of 2,848 two years ago. In the Third District Julius Cesar Burrows (Rep.) will be returned. His opponent és Daniel strange, a farmer. The districtas mow constituted gave the Republicans a plu- rality of 3,029 in 1890. «In the Fourth District, naturally Republican by 1,700 plurality, the ‘Populist and Democratic eandidate is George L. Yaple of Meridon, who gave Mr. Burrows the surprise of his life a few years ago by de- feating himinthe old Fourth. Yaple is one of the ablest orators in Michigan and is wide- ly known throughout the district, while Dr. H. F. Thomas, his opponent, is scarcely known outside of hiscounty. Nothing buta landslide can defeat Laple, and the com bina- tion candidate for eleetor will be chosen. The Fifth District, including this city, will Democratic by a large majority. The can- dates are Capt. Chase Belknap, Republican. ae present incumbent and George F. Rich- son, Democrat and Populist.

CLAIMS OF KANSANS, : ———— — The Estimates of Party Leaders Widely Apart in F gures. . committees completed a poll of the State this week, and each committee claims the State by a majority of not less than 25,000. Chair- man Jones of the Democratic Committee said to-day: We have polled the State with the excep- tion of five of the smallest counties and finda majority in favor of the combination ticket of 37,412. We must make some allowances for mistakes in the poll and it would de fair to say that our majority would not miss 80,000 very much. This is according to the oid figures of two years. ago and shows that the Alliance party is fully as strong as at the election of 1890. The vote for Rob- inson, Democratic candidate for Governor two years ago, was 71,000. Taking out what Humphrey, Republican candidate for Gov- ernor, failed of getting as many votes as the Seven Republican candidates for Congress, gives us the Republican re-submission vote of the State, which weht to the Democrats. That amounts to 7. 750 and leaves 63,300 Demo- crats, who, added to the 107,000 Alliance men who voted for Willits, makes 170,390 votes in the two opposition parties. [estimate that we have 51,000 new votes this year and giving the Republicans two-thirds of them, for they will get the biggest share, we have a major- ity of a little more than 29,000. In this calcnu- lation Chairman Jones fails to take into con- sideration the Democrats who have rebelled against the action of the regular Democratic Convention and are refusing to support the fusion ticket. Chairman Simpson of the Republican State Committee figures out a majority forall the Republican candidates of nearly 4,000. He says the total vote of the People’s party in 1890 for its State ticket, aside from Governor, was 115,000. The Democratic and Republican resubmission State ticket, excepting Gov- ernor, received about 59,000 votes. Of these 15,000 were resubmission Republicans who will this year snpport the Republican ficket, leaving the total Democratic vote 385,000, which, added to the Populist vote, makes the total strength of the fusion forces 150,000, This the Republicans insist is the full strength that will be shown at the polls, as the increased vote will be offset hy the defec- tion inthe Democratic and People’s party. The total vote of the State, according to the Republicans, will be 345,000, leaving a Repub- lican majority of 45,000. _ The information comes from a rellabie source that Duane Freeman, the Democratic candidate for Congress in the Sixth District, will announce next week that he has with- drawn from the race in the interest of the alliance candidate. The fusionists have been working with Freeman for some ti and have promised him that in the evént of | Baker’s election he will be well taken care of. Jerry Simpson has been challenged toa joint debate by W. B. Townsend, a well- known colored orator of Leavenworth. 10 show that he means business, Townsend offers to wager $1,200 that he can beat Simp- son in a fair discussion of the People’s party national and State platforms, the merits of the debate to be decided by one RepubDiican, one Democrat and one People’s party man. The challegge was forwarded to Simpson to day. He Has already refaged to meet his Republican opponent in the Seventh Dis- trict, and it is not likely he will accept Towusend's proposition. | A. W. Smith, the Republican candidate for Governor, has been cympelied to cancel a number of Nis appointments on account oF the dangernus illness of his olllest son, who has been suffering from parulysis for the past six months and is slowly failing. The Republicans know now what it is to have a white elephant ontheirhands. They have one in ingalls, the statesman out of a job. Ingalis wanted to make some speechss inthe State. He made one at Topeka and his sharp tongue cut the Republican leaders almost as hard as it did the opposition. Then he asked for a list of apppintments and agreed to make some “speeches. He went out to Arkansas City Monday and again he played the “free lance. A howl went up and Ingalis started for Atchison. He had an appointment for Lawrence, where he has not spoken since 1874, but sent word he was ili and could not speak. It is hinted that some sensational developments will come out ina few days in which Mr. Ingalls will ure. It is also re- ported that several requests have gone into the State Central Committee that it will not send the wandering statesman out again, It places the Republicans in an awkward pos!i- tion. Indeed they have been disappointed all around. Foraker came into the state to help them and alienated more Democrats than he made votes. Alger came and he was howled down asa milliionatre whose money has been partly made out of selling lumber athigh prices to Kansas settlers. Now that Ingalls is out of it McKiniey’s high tariff speech next Monday night is their only hope of assistance from abroad. The Populists’ campaign isentirely differ- ent from that held two years ago, and isas much a mystery to the opposiiion as was that. There has not been a picnic held in Central kansas to compare with that of 1890, The meetings are really few, buta quiet house to house canvass is going on that 18 bound to have its effect. In the Fifth Dis- trict, Congressman Davis has made but few speeches, but will now take the stump. Jerry Simpson spent part of the wees in the district, lending plausibility to the rumor that he is trimming his sails for a United States Senatorship. Tom Patterson of the Denver News will be in the district next week. From this on, said one of the Central Committeemen to-day, ‘‘our campaign will be one of special attention to the Democrats. ifthe Republicans think they have by taffy and anti-fusion conventions organized by themselves attracted the Democrats they are mistaken, Not 1 per cent of the Democrats will vote for Harrison. They will give Weaver the State as sure as Nov. §8comes. A vote for Weaver will do the Democrats more good than any vote a Democratever cast in the State, and they knowit. All we want now is to get out our voters and prevent col- onization by the Republicans, If we can do that the fusion ticket will carry overwhelm- ingly.’’ of. inistered N 0 g record of In NEBRASKA A Triangular Fight Which Seems Now to Favor Weaver. OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 22.—Nebraska, as one of the Western States, swept by the political revolution of 1890, has been generally regard- ed as sure to cast its electoral vote for Weaver this fall. The combined votes of the Demo- eratic party and the Farmers’ AlMance have shownan overwhelming majority over the Republicays, and the natural conclusion was that they would unite on an electoral ticket for the purpose of taking the State out of the Republican column, where it has stood steadily from the time of its admission to the Union up ta the election of 1888. But no ac tion has been had; the Democrats nomi. nated separate electoral and State tickets, and putting aside the Prohibition ticket, which can scarcely be regarded as a factor in the contest, it is a trianguiar fight all round. tis protitiess now to Mauire whether the Democrats have Acted wisely or unwigely. The party unfortunately has not been har- monious. Gov, Boyd, who was elected in 1890, has dissatisfied his party, and especttall by Vetoing the rallroaa bill, and was ref a renomination by the Democratic tate 8⁰ vention. J. Sterling Morton was wade its candidate for Governor. One section of the party favored a fusion with the Inde — ents, while tne other opposed it.

These figutes siow thatifany considera- ble portion of the Democrats can be induced to vote for the Weaver electors the Indepen- et standa as whatever centage as it loses in order to insure - ess, What are the prospects of an unbroken in- dependent vote inthigelection? . In Nebraska the third party fs made up largely of Republicans. Itis calculated that four-fifths of the indepéndefits are from the Republican ranks. While this may be an ex- aggerated estimate, the figures prove tha the old Republicans form the backbone o the new party. In 1888 the Democratié vote for President was 80,622. In 1890 the Demo- eratic vote for Governor was 71,01. The Re- publican vote for President in 1888 was 108,425. The Republican vote for Governor in 1990 was 68,878. This shows conclusively from which party the 70.000 Alliance votes cast in 1890 came. The independent vote in 1888 was under 5,000, The Republicans, in view of these facts,are working with energy to get back their votes from the Thifa party on the electoral ticket. They have nominate Judge Croupz for Gov- ernor and are ready to trade him off with the Thiril party for electoral votes. Indeed, Judge vLroune was not nomindted to be elected. He is too good a man for the party m Nebraska. The ratiroad corporations, the Union Pacific and Burlington systems, are against him. The present State officers, ex- Governor, are all Re pub- ex-officio, the trans- commission. similag to our Railroad Commissioners. They are the tools of the railroads and are at heart op- posed to Crounz. The Rosewater influence which controlled the nomination for Gov- ernor, is unpopular in the party. There is very little doubt, so for as the State tioket is concerned of the success of the third party candidate, ex-Senater Van Wyck, although itis believed that any bargain for Van Wyck’s election, if alded by the rallroad in- terests, may Include the Republican candl- date for Lieut.-Governor, Thomas J. a- jors, a thorovgnh railroad tool. The Repubiicens are working to get back their Republican alliance men on the élec- toral vote—fifst with money and next by the argument that, as Weaver does not stand any chance of success, a vote for him is a vote, indirectly, to elect Cleveland Presi- dent. There are many old soldiers in the third party who were Republicans and they are plied with alithbe stale, exploded stories about Cleveland's alleged unfriendiiness to msion bills in er to induce them 0 vote for arrison. To what extent the Republicans will succeed in breaking the third party’s strength cannot be foretold. But it is worth remem- bering, while caleulating the chances in Ne- braska, that the Republicans elected their candidate for Judge of the Supreme Court last year by a plurality of a little over 4, 000. The total vote was 157,000 against 214,000 in 1890 and the Republican vote was 76,447 against 68,878 cast tor their candidate for Governor the preceding year. The State Canvass on the Democratic side is somewhat tame, although the candidate for Governor, J. earn Morton, isan upright, capabie man, and both the chairman ofthe State Committee, Kuclid Martin of Omaha, and the National Committeeman, Tobias Castor of Lincoln, are doing ali in their power to promote “ir. Morton’s success. Unfortunately there ls a faction in the par- that, it is feared, will not act in good faith toward Mr. Morton, and he does not seemtohaveany prospect of outside help. The railroad influences are all against him. When Gov. Boyd was elected in 1990 his plu- rallty over the Alliance candidate was only 1.16 and he had the ald of the entire saloon interests, including both Republicans and Al- lilance liquor dealers. This time the Demo- crats are likely to be third in the race all around and this fact causes outsiders to look upon the iallure of the party to make a fusion with the Independents, which they coulu have done readily,asa politleal bluader. The solid mass of the united parties, with a majority of 70,00, would have had little to fear for the defections, Toturn the greatest part of 70,000 to 80,000 votes over to another party by a secret understanding seems a hopeless task. The Republican National Committee ts putting money liberally into the State. ur. Candy, tue Chairman of the Republican State Committee, has plenty of fundsat his com- mand and is issuingthem mainly to disrupt the third party. It has also been determined to beat Wm. J. Bryan, the Congressman from the First District, if possible. For some reasonthe desife has been conveyed from Washington that Mr. Bryan should not go back, and Judge Crounz, sir. Rosewater and their friends are usingevery effort to insure his défeat. The Democrats have very little money aud it is dimeult to see how they oun use it to advantage if they had plenty 0 ° It was supposed at one time that the secret organization Known as the A. P. the American Protestant Association, would figure conspicuously inthe campaign, It is A powerful organizationin Nebraska and at- tempts are being made to extend it all through the West; It is almost wholly Re- ublican, An effort inside the organization o take those members who are not KRepubll- cans over to the Harrison electoral ticket is said to have falled. In calculating the chances of Nebraska’s electoral vote, the encouraging features for those who wish to see the State taken out of the Kkepublican column are that the united votes of the Democrats and Alltance in 1890 were more than fouble the total Republican yote; that the causes which made the revolu- tion that year still exist; that the farmers of the State still feel the abuses of heavy and unequal taxation, of an unjust tariff, of dis. crimination against the agricultural inter. ests and of the oppressive power of rallroad apd other corporations and monopolies. If the third party remains undisrupted, and if the Democrats generally have the good sense to vote the Alliance electoral ticket, the State will be carried for Weaver and Field. On the other hand it must be remembered that the third party is composed largely of eld Republicans; that money will be used freely to win back Republicans to their old party, and that this is the first presidential election in Wich the stability of the third gk | has been tested. This is hope for thé State, but that hope is not altogether free from doubt, for it is evi- dent that the solid prinetples underlying the Western revolution have not such a firm hold in Nebraska as in Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois and some other States. -— COLORADO The Democratic State Ticket May Be Withdrawn-—Poepulists Sanguine.

PROGRESS OF THE YFiGHT u THE “BACK GOUNTIES.” Prospects Especially Bright for the Demo- cratio Ticket—Bafley as a Fester in Polities— Starch Factery Democrats Will Be Heard From— Hackett“ s Bribe Spurned by Utica Printers—How the State Will Vote. OswEco, N. V., Oct. 22.—What political ac- tivity there is here is among the politicians, | They arefairly awake, but, on the whole, for the Republicans one should call this sec- tion of the state Darkest New Tork.“ The tariffon barley and the ballot reform law have got in their work. These two things have had more to do with the change in the political sentiment of the country than the personality of either candidate. Elevators burn down and are not built up; business fails off, and the whole city is depressed by the imposition of a 30 cent tariff on barley, an inerease of 200 per cent, „Starch factory Democrats, forced with other employes for years to vote the Republt- can ticket, take advantage of the ballot law and vote as they please. There you have the reason for the decreased Republican vote here since 1890, and the base on which the hopes of the Democrats rest for reducing the majority this year several hundred in com- parison with 1888, They are potent factors. Together with the dpathy in the country they are enought to account fora consider - able reduction expected by Republicans and Democrats alike. The Democrats report and the Republicans admit that the preliml- nary canvasses show a large percentage of Republican farmers whosay that they will not vote at all. One prominent conscientious Republican Confessed that in his town there was a falling off of the Kepublican vote from three to twenty-seven voters inevery school district. Of course there will be some Demo- cratic fallingoff. Alight vote is expected. But the Republicans who say they will not vote are as three to one against the Demo- crats, Strange to say the prohibitive tariff on bar- ley, Which has ruined the malting business, once very large, of Oswego City, and brought great loss tothe citizens, does not seem to influence the farmers much. It affects them injuriousiy, of course, but they are protected against Canada, and they don’t follow the workings of the high duty. They are in- censed at ex-Senator George B. Sloan, the Republican leader, who, seeing the awful effects in his city, raised his voice aud pro- tested to Congress to lower the duty to 15 cents, which, according to protective prin- ciples, would be excessive. Some of these farmers, now that the West is setting the price for barley at a low figure, when their barley used to be bougnt at nearly the higher Canadian figure and mixed with that barley, are beginning to see where they have been foolish. The process of educating them, however, is slow, and for that reason the barley duty does not change Republicans into Democrats in the country as qulekly as it does in the city. There deserted elevators can be seen and the financial loss keenly apprectated. 80 greatly has Oswego suffered through the loss of the barley trade, the malting business, the falling off of the lumber trade,and the general cessation of shipping that the docks are rotting away and grass almost grows in the streets, But the people are plucky. Of late they have been turning their attention to vullding up factories and enticing by free rents aud no taxes manufacturers from other places. The condition of the city is im- proving slowly. It Is still in great contrast tothe once bustling and thrivina port. As these manufactories come in the Democratic vote increases. The proprietors are Repub- lican, but the employes are not. There was a time previous to 1890 when in every election the 600 or more votes of Kingsford’s big starch factory Were divided into squads and; led by a foreman, compejied to vote the Republican ticket. It was given them and each Was seen to vote it. This was done, but not 80 arbi- trarily, by the Ames eompany and others. The new ballot law makes this impossible, The men in off years used to vote the Demo- cratic ticket and were thus called starch Factory Democrats. Before the ballot law the city always went Republican. It has never done so since 1890. One ward that was 800 Republican is now Democratic, and there isa marked and gradually inéreasing Demo- eratic majority in the city, The Democrats will probably carry it this year by 500, ff not In this county, as in all other Republican strongholds, all cope on that, party get- ting out its vote. The chances are it Will not be got out. Commercial travelers—and they they are excellent judges of the situation say that back in the small towns the farmers will have to be dragged Out. That is true also near Oswego. As it looks now Harrison win not get over 2,800 this county, as afiainst 8,867 in 1888. Some reliable Democrats put it as low as 2,500, and many Kepublicans agree with them. Fassett got 2,085 last year, and Burnham, for Congress, in 1890 got only 1,018 majority. An increase in the soldier vote may run Harrison up to 3,000, but itis not likely. Thirty-three hundred, by the way, was the highest tepubltean estimate obtain- able. That is a loss of 800. The Republican managers in their estt- mate of county majorities, credit Cayuga with exceeding the Harrison majority of 8,266 in 1888. From what sources the predic: tion comes it is dimeult to guess. The con- dition of the campaign at this moment hard- ly warrants any such extravagant hope. On the contrary, the chaneés are that the gain will be on the Democratic side. The Demo- cratic canvass confirms the reports from ad- acent districts that the farmers are waver: he in ft of the Democratic ticket, pros ects would be particularly bright for the Democrats were it not forthe fact that the organization is almost helplessly dtwided into factions. 0 old Oleveland-Hill jealousies still survive with all the original bitterness, Many of the Hill supporters refuse to show any activity, and the greater part of the Cleveland fol- lowing are disgruntled because the campaign is being conducted by the Um men. In the interest of harmony .when the ign committee was named several of the more Ara Cleveland Democrats were in- uced to co. operate in the work. But, after all, although the committee is in oe competent hands, it is not meeting wit the enthusiastic support of a united ry.

DECISION AFFECTING THE LEGAL RIGHTS OF ELECTORS. New Tonk, Oct. 22.—The Court of Appeals, Judge Gray alone dissenting, has just decided that wo court can be held in this State on election day and that no Judge of the Supreme Court, therefore, can hear applica- tions for a mandamus on that day compelling election inspectors to accept votes. The decision was onan appeal: from the general term approving the action of Judge lawrence, sitting in Chambers on last elec- tion day, inthecase of Horace M. Lower against Timothy T. Donovan, an election inspector of the Soventh Election District of the second Assem- bly District. Lower’s vote was refused because of failure to fold his ballot pro y. He obtatned from Judge Lawrence on election day a writ of mandamus against the inspectors. Donovan, it was alleged, de- clined to obey it, and he was judged guilty of contempt, aud an order was issued impostng ten days’ imprisonment and a fine of $250. The appeal was on the ground that no court can d on a holiday, and that a man- damus can only issue from a court, and not from a judge a Judge Andrews, writing the — says the ground is well taken,’ adds: ‘The right of a voter may be lost unless this power shall be coferred. Under the statute no court can be opened within the state on the day of any general election to transact any business except for the purpose of re- ceiving a verdiet or discharging a jury, and for the exercise by a single magistrate of certain jurisdiction in criminal cases. voter who ts refused the right to vote can re- sort to no court for relief until after his right is lost, as no court can entertain his applica- tion on election day. If an enlarged juris- dietion in these cases is expedient the remedy is with the Legisiature.’’ The effect of the decision is that no elector whose vote has been refused can get relief until his vote is lost. It is possible that the inspector n be prosecuted for criminal action afterward, a risk he must assume when he debarsa man from voting. Judge Andrews suggests that the remedy for this condition of affairs is with the Legislature. to vote Would Incriminate Himself, A motion fof the arrest of judgment in the case of Jas. Walsh, sentenced by a jury last July totwo years inthe penitentiary for an assault to kin upon a Mr. Dowling, a grocor, was called for a hearing in the Criminal Court yesterday, and Ben Olark, attorney for défendant, offeredto put Sidney Johnson on the stand to testify that he, Johnson, did the cutting. Judge Castleman sald that he could pass upon a motion to arrest but he could not grant a néw trial because the Court’s jurisdiction in such cases expired with the.term of court at which it was tried. Acting Circait Attorney Bishop said that Johnson’s testimony might be used ez himself, and Johnson’s attorney, Joe Fur, ling, advised him not totestify. The matter was then laid over to give Johnson and his attorney time to consider. Sentenced on Pleas. All of the thirty-two prisoners, against whom indictments were returned by the present Grand-juryy pleaded guilty, with two exceptions, in the Criminal Court yesterday. Mrs. Flora f¢huchman pleaded gulity to the charge of bigamy and was sentenced to three months in the Work-house and assessed a fine of $100. Approaching maternity mitigated the punishment. She claimed that she did not know that she was committing a crime when she married her second husband, Emil Stehle. She and Schuchman, her first hus- band, with whom she lived only five weeks, quarreled about five children which she had and stx he had from a former marriage. She left him and married Stehie nine months after she had seen Schuchman, * Louis Rettig was sentenced to the peniten- tiary fortwoyears on a pea of gulity to the charge of stealinga horse and buggy from Henry C.

Zidell claimed that he made the tel the temporary headquarters for himself, his wife and four children and offered Swartz $5 for the family for a Gay.

Another sufferer from mental antics has made an attempt to convince the world ot the‘ éruéity and inferfority of women. A careful | perusal of his lengthy article on te of woman, in the Stxpay Post-Disratcu of Oct. 16, falls to be coaviacing, and in a very undecided manner he closed by asking; „Does not woman know she ts man’s infe- rior ?“ Te this last question I woald direct my reply, hoping to throw some light on his morbid reasoning. Tradition,. history and experience prove woman man’s equal in every fleld in which she hae entered to compete with him. Woman was created man's equal. We read: In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made He him, male and female made He thew, and blessed them and their name Adam. And God said let them have dominien.’’ Thus did our Grst parents start outon equal footing, and despite the at- tempts to stamp woman as interior,“ she bas furnished the world with stubborn facts tothe contrary. It has been said that me- chanical and inventive jnstinects were lack- ing im women. The Scientife American says of me patents solicited by women: In their practical character and in their adapta- means to effect a definite of tnventions made dy men. Tradition in- Isig in Egypt, Minerva ina Greece, Surawati the mother of inventive genius. among the secondary gods. Had not Isis m- vented the art ot embalming the Israélites could never have Kept their oath to Jacob and removed his body with them when they fied from Egypt nearly feur hundred years afterward. Coming down to modern facts, we find that in 1798 Miss Betsey Metcalf made the first straw bonnet ever manufactured in this country, and in twelve years after Massa- chusetts alone produced $500,000 worth of straw goods. Thecotton gin, heading the list of sixteen remarkable American inven- tions, owes its origin to Catharine Littlefield Greene. ‘Io Miss Louise McLaughlin the in- vention of underglazing pottery belongs. Mrs. Harriet Manning gave America its third great invention, a mower and reaper. The gimlet- pointed screw, from which millions have been realized, was tbe idea of a little girl. After Edison and other in- ventors had unsuccessfully 6triven to deaden the noise of elevated railroads, Mrs. Mary E. Walton brought forward a devise which was at ones adopted. Medicine, chemistry and sculpture have been greatly benefited by women. In the business world she has shown herself fully man’s equal. Women have exercised the highest civil powers in all ages of the world—from Zenobia to Vie- toria—and have exhibited statecraft and military capacity of high degree without de- tracting from their graces as women or their virtues as mothers Mrs. Ross designed the American fag, aud the records of all wars show the presence of women in their ranks; more than four hun- dred were discovered in the Union army. The services of Clara Barton. Elizabetl Blackwell and hundreds of other nobie women were not less valuable than the aid given by their brothers. Judging by all the standards of military men throughout the world, in times past and to-day, there is not now in this country, or the world, a person of the transcen t military genius of Anna Ella Carroll of wary- land, who so carefully planned the most im- portant campaign of our civil war, the exe- cution of which brought to Gen. Grant bis ecrowh of crowns, his triumplant success bringing tears of joy to the eyes of her coun- trymen and sending Grant’s name to thou - sands of lips. The preponderance of women in our churches, our charitable organizations and educational councils do not suggest either crualty or inferiority. As to woman’s cruelty, every phase in life from the cradle to the grave bespeaks for her the utmost tender - ness and consideration for all humanity. Monstrosities occasionally crop out from both sexes. but taken collectively, woman is neither inferior nor cruel. I like to hear men talk of woman’s inferi- ority and bow she brought sin into the world; it is only another proof of transmission. When Adam and kve sinned and the Lord called them to account, how did Adam show bis superior ()) maaliness? „And the Lord called unto Adam and said: *Where art thon?’ ’’ Adam replied: ‘I heard the voice the garden and I was afraid,’ 7 Brave man! And the Lord said: Hast thow eaten of the tree wliereof I commanded thou shouldet not eat?’ And Adam said: ‘The woman whom thou gavest to be with me. she gave me of the tree and I did eat. What a manly answer, and I doubt if there is a Man on earth to-day who does not despise old Adam's cowardice, The doctrine of in- feriority,’’ as set forth by Mr. Waiéh, tsa very interesting theme, cOming as it doses from masculine lips, for they de the subject eminent justice, We wish menin the future would remem- ber this, and also remember, when they are harping their favorite tune, that every sensi- ble woman who listens, wonders what kind ofan education the poor man had to take such a one-sided view of his fellow beings! Ine pity he so lavishly pours upon her weak- ness, she is pouring right back upon his! If such men wish to have their sentiments ap- preciated, they must be careful to advance them only before their equals and inferiors, then possibly, they may stand a chance to be considered wise, prudent, foresighted especially among those of their sex who have caught snakes in the matrimonial net.

Rachries Fines the Important oO of Assistant Circuit Attorney— Grievances Which Good Citizens Have Against Him—Ben Clark’s Conviction 2 and Conduct in Nolle Prossing Cases as Acting City Attorney. It is ‘easy to see that the 6 Voter, the man who scrutinizes every ballot ‘he casts to so that he is not led by the fetich candidates whose integrity he doubts, is going to.be placed in an awkward position . when he enters the booth on election day. He may swallow his party ticket straight till he comes to the heading For Circuit Attor. ner, and then his gorge is sure to rise. On the Republican ticket he will find the name of William Zachritz and on the Democratic ticket will be the name of Ben F. Clark. Now, what is this office for which those two men are ates? It is the portant of all the offices attached to thd criminal courts of the city. The Oircuit Attorney shapes all the work of the Criminal Court, whichisthe city’s court Of last resort in criminal practice. The ad- ministration of justice in the prosecution of criminals depends entirely on the Circuit At- torney. It he is honest and efficient, the court will punish criminals. If he is corrupt, \ignorant, or weak enough to yield to the political influences of the crim- inal classes, the trials in his court, except when the prisoners are moneyless and friendless, will be a burlesque on justice; _ Crime will go unpunished; the criminals of the city will trample on the rights of citizens, confident of protection, and the most active 4 police force will be discouraged and bamed. But that situation is not likely to come out, says the respectable: voter, who Ks registration a bore and voting a relic of barbarism. The situation already exists at the Four Courts. Why, some time ago, while the present Four Courts officials were sitting, an old-fashioned lawyer of St. Louis, George Bailey, a man who is not in politics, wrote a ane 21 the Methods that obtain in St Louis ted ft. THE FOUR COURTS’ THIEVES. 700 the title page was a picture of Justice, tipsy and leering from under her hoodwink, which was pushed up sothat she might see which side offered her the most, and her scales were Weighted with money. For the last several years, so powerful have been the political rings about the court rooms of the Four Courts that it has become notorious, dnat it was much safer for the accused in one of them to have influence than to be right. Justice has been thwarted, the hands of the police have been tied. The news- papers and grand-juries have exposed the practices and arraigned the men guilty of them, but the criminal bands have con- trolled the whole machinery of the courts, and the rings have stood ghoulder to shoul- der to prevent prosecutions. Relief was ex- pected from the two political conventions this month. It was believed that one of them at least would be true enough to the interests of the city and anxious enough for the reputation of its party to make a nomination for Oircuit Attorney that would command the respect of the de- cent people ofthe city. The right kina of a Circuit Attorney would put a stop to the dis- honest practices in vogue at the Four Courts in a year. But the convention did not rise to the occasion and we have the result. On the one ticket William Zachritz. On the other Ben F. Ciark. Who are they? 7 The answer to that is a matter of record, and no expression of opinion is necessary to show that it either one of them is elected, there will be no change in the present prac- tices of the Four Courts. THE RECORD OF ZACHRITZ. Mr. Zachritz is a young man who was elected Assistant Circuit Attorney by the Re- publicans tour years ago. He was generally thought nothing worse than weak and in- competent till early in the present year, when he began to lay his plans for re-elec- tion or something better, and looked around for support. About that time the Woman’s Uhristian Temperance Union, aroused by numerous cases of the ruming of young giris in the low concert halls of the city, called upon the Grand-jury to enforce the State law forbidding the employment of women as singers and dancers in places where liquors were sold. Mrs. F. H. Ingalls, the president of the State W. ©. T. U., got evidence against seven owners of those dives and went before the Grand-jury, who promptiy returned indict- ments against all of tham. Mr. Zachritz the counsel of the Grand- had to draw them up. They very short and simple; any duate of the St. Louis law school would ‘graduate of to confess thathe didn’t know how to draw up indictments like them. It — d that the case against Hugo Zeller should be made the test case tor all of these defendants. Chester Krumand John I. Mar- tin were employed to defend. The two attor- neys looked at the indictments, and saw that . Zachrits had leit out most important parts oftbem. Not only this, but the Zeller - Indictment had been drawn with gu carelessness, or such intent that a was duplicated in one line. That is a mistake a clerk makes sometimes, but if he reads it over he catches the duplication. The defect in all the inaict- ments was not due to carelessness. It was caused by pu or ignorance. Attorneys Krom and Martin moved to guash the indict- ments on the ground of their illegality. e Dleries ot Prosecuting Attorney 5. erkes of the Court of Criminal Correction said, when he was asked if the — ditinants would hold: No, they will t. They are defective, and i couldn't ke out a case under * em. tate’s Representative Orrick O. Bishop, — . Mr. Zachritz in the Criminal Court, could pot defend m.

When the Grand-jury adjourned without finding an in- adictment against the collector, the citisens who had gone to the jury-room with evidence which they knew would have justified an in- dictment, and had been kept out of the pres- ence of the ury by Mr. Zachritz, was * nant, but what could they do?

The Prosecuting Attorney hadthe whole thing in his hands, and was determined that there should not be an investiga tion. He would calla witness in and ask him Well, what do you know about this case?“ „it his answer showed that his evidence was goingto be damaging, the Prosecuting Attorney would say, ‘Oh, we’ve gota dozen more men to testify to that; you’d better go home. The Prosecuting Attorney is always able to manipulate a Grand- jury, composed of inexperienced men, in this way. If they could get on a Grand- -jury again, with their experience, they could beat out the Prosecu- cuting Attorney.’ MAKING POLITICAL CAPITAL. Durfng the summer months there came along a Brand- jury that exposed the corrup- tion ot the Four Courts, and demanded that its successor should indict the men respon- sible for it, The following Grand-jury had some men on it who were not afraid of the Villainous politicians, and several who were. Mr. Zachrits worked on the minority and supported them in their refusal to in- dict the criminal politicians about — courts known as the pusn. !“ The majority in- sisted on returning certain indictments which they thought necessary. The minor- ity refused, Mr. Zachritg finding them rea- sons. The ‘majority then went into court and protested against the influences that were bringing their work to naught, finally adjourning and publishing a card tot the peo- ple, explaining the way in which they had been hampered. One ot the men whom Mr. Zachritz thus saved from indictment is a Republican politiclan wuo had a good deal to do with the convention that nominated him for Circuit Attorney. PROTECTING A CRIMINAL. A paragraph of that protest describes Mr. Zachritz’s attitude towards the honest at- oes at reform the Grand-jury was making. t is: Several days ago the jury heard evidence which resulted in the finding ofa true bill against a de- fendant whose guilt was discovered during the ex- amination of ahother case, When we submitted our partial report one day later it was expected by those who voted for the bill that this was one of the handea Findiag the day had been held a y the Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, we instructed himto prepare the paper forthwith, and yesterday morning we entered this court for the N of reporting that indictment and three others. The protest then states that this particular tadict- ment, Mr. Zachritz having failed in his effort to keep it back, was pocketed by one of the Grand-jury minority and a ds **When it ay stated thatthe man affected by the indictment is a city official and is generally recog- nized as belonging to what is known as the bush, this high-handed proceeding becemes ail the more significant.’’ The Grand-jarymen who thus charged Mr. Zachritz with prostituting his office to defend a criminal politician, and signed their names to the charge, are John 8. „Ott, President of the Mofitt-West wholesale drug house, a member of the Board of Charity Commissioners, and Chairman of the Illumination Committee of the Fall Fes- tivities Association, Alexander Forbes, F. H. Ingalls and Alex Judd, wholesale and retail merchants; James E. Gatewood, the treas- urer ofa corporation; Emil Becker and Will. lam Baggott, real estate men, and Harry E. Hayward, an insurance agent and a member of the University Club. When Judge Castleman ascended the bench he took occasion to state in the charge he made tothe Grand-jury that the Assistant Circuit Attorney was not the boss but the servant of the Grand-jury. He didn’t put it as bluntly as it is expressed here, Dut it meant the same thing, and Mr. Zachrits un- derstood it. The Grand-jury now in session, with some idea, probably, of asserting its independence, made Mr. Zachritz read this charge of the Judge, and listened to it with much more satisfaction than he showed. It is not worth wulle to heap one accusing instance on the head of another in order to show what sort of a Circuit Attorney the present Assistant Circuit Attorney will make. It is intended only to show that tue record of Mr. Zachritz invites for him the profound distrust of people who want to see integrity in the administration of the affairs of the office, and that purpose has been served. MR. CLARK Ss HISTORY. Now, for whom has the Democratic eon - vention asked the reputable citizens of St. Louis to vote in place of Mr. Zachrits? Ben F. Clark. Mr. Ciark has been known in the city for ten years asa police court lawyer. That, of itself, means a good deal to those who kuow what the police court lawyers of St. Louis are. A HYPOCRITICAL DEFENSE. "A A fewdays ago a record of the Court of Criminal Correction was published, showing that in 1884 Mr. Clark, who, by his own admission, was then a Police Court se ey! was convicted of em- bezzling $18.80 fm a widow named Elisa - beth Jones, and fined $50 by Judge Henry D. Laughlin. He, pléads to this charge that it was in the days when he was drinking; and that he has atoned since by joining the church and leading ‘‘A consistent Christian life. This plea touches the sympathies of men, but it is not honest. A man who had really reformed and repented would have paid this fine, and restored the money to the widow, would he not? Mr. Clark says he bas not been able to find the widow. Buthe could have paidthe fine, could he not? To this Mr. Clark replies that a motion for a new trial was made in the case and granted, The court record shows no such motion. This is explained, perhaps, by the admission of Mr. Clark that Mayor Noonan, who was the Jud then, ordered the se struck Foss the docket. No at - ter which’ statement is true, it is plain that Mr. Clark has not done in the matter the thing that a genuine repentance would dic- tate — that is, repairing the wrong the court held he had done and submitting to the pun- ishment imposed on him. But, aside from this, does Mr. Clark’s record show that he has become a man of different character since he took that widow’s money and spent it? PROTKEOTING THE GAMBLERS, He has been for several years the boon companion of Mayor Noonan and his inti- mates, and is now an associate of theirs and a recognizéd political ally of Ed Butler. City Attorney James J. Butler, the son of Ed,who is regarded by the hoodium classes as their bulwark in the Police Court against punish- — has two lawyers to whom he intrusts his docket when he is away, certain that the interests of his clients will be be protected.

Wm. T. Sherman is advertised to be sold at auction on next Thursday. The ownership of this estate by the illustrious General has made it historic, at least locally so. The house had been purchased by friends and ad- mirers and presented him as a tribute to his brilliant and patriotic services throughout the civil war. One evening in August, 1865,there happened to be quite a chance assemblage at the old Planters’ House of several prominent citi- zens. The subject dominant at that day, the approaching close of the war, was discussed, when one of the party said: Gen. Sherman deserves Well of the nation, and particularly well of us right here, We have been making money straight along, through times of general ruin, and that by reason of the patriotic self - devotion of such men as Sherman. Would it not bea raceful act to present the General on his re - urn witha g home as a testimonial of our appreciation of his great service to the country and our personal affection?’’ The proposition was adopted enthusiastically, and the needed sum of $30,000 soon collected. tee deed to the Garrison avenue house was 4 * on record Sept. 15, 1865, and conveyed the General. The home served its purpose, however, for a comparatively brief period. The General’s new duties in Washington City necessitated his abseace from St. Louis during long inter- some three m estimable wife. of this city turned out in multi- ollow his remains to Calvary ——— selected a rs e a ud — *. — anc 3 8 may A 3 . g * ae .

When the city settles down to business once more the indications are that there is going to be some lively work done in the sale of real estate, as the agents declare money was never more plentiful than now and the de- mand for property is stronger by far than usual at this season Of the year, They have done an immense business since the first of of January, and considering the forty days of festivities now at an end the fall trade has been phenomenally good, far better than the corresponding sea- son of former years. Friday's celebration cut Jast week’s work short two days, and even at that it compares favorably with the six full days’ sales of the corresponding week of 1891. Onthe whole the market was never ina better condition, with brighter prospects for the future. Even the all absorbing interest taken in the national and local campaign does not effect the demand and sale of prope:ty to that extent which these events have ordinarily done in former election years. Theonly complaint that the repre- sentative agents make is occasioned by the frequency with which owners unexpectedly advance prices, refusing prices agreed upon when an approval of those figures is the only thing lacking to make a sale and swell the commission account. However, the price of real estate in St. Louis is rated very low compared with the figures asked for property in other cities, and owners knowing that, as wellas real estate agents, they are disposed to getall they can for their property or keepit, unless com- pelled by stress of financial circumstances to raise money. NINETY-NINE-YEAR LEASES. An important transaction in the market last week was the leasing of the premises, 0x 127% feet, at the southeast corner of Eighth and Olive streets, at $20,000a year net for ninety-nine years. This is another move toward the construction of large, palatial business improvements in the center of the city and a feature of the real estate business profitable to the land owner, beneficial to the lessees and most potentin providing St. Louis with a magnificent class of public buildings. Five years ago ninety-nine year leases were looked upon with disfavor in St. Louis, notwithstanding that by that system of using property the largest cities ot this country and Europe have been grandly improved throughout their main business area. Under this lease plan the land owner is insured a most permanent income, and acting under It the lessee may use his funds for tmprove- ments which would otherwise be required to pay for ground, leaving him nothing with which to build the proper kind of a building to make guch an investment profitable. Negotiations are now pending for a 99-year lease of the Kauffman property on Olive and Ninth streets, facing the Custom- house on the west. If that proposition is carried out that splendid property comprising half a block will be improved upon a scale of grandeur that would do credit to any city in the world. Corners in the commercial center are be- coming so valuable that the plan of 99-year leases is beginning to have much more favor- able consideration than heretofore, and it would be a good thing for all parties con- cerned it every corner where there is an old rookery were leased to parties who would put uD the right class of buildings.

The grain in sales Over the corresponding week of 1889 is $97,890. Contrasted with the corresponding week of 1890 there is a gain of twenty-one transfers and a loss of $341,634 in sales. Compared with the corresponding week of 1891 there is a loss of thirty-four transfers and a depreciation of only $239,569 in sales, all of which would have been wiped out anda big balance placed to the credit of last week had it not been cut short two days. Compared with the last previous week the record shows a loss of seventy-nine transfers and $436,254 in the amount of sales. AGENTS’ REPORTS. John 8.

The earliest settlement by white men within the present limits of the State of New York was a trading post at the southern end of Manhattan Island. From that beginning had grown the greatest city of the continent, and the site of the first rude log cabin built by adventuro roe Bs Hollanders, was to-day the very kernel commercial metropolis of the union, The center of om was eighteen — 1 j of pe year 1800. In * as twenty — cok of Columbus nd. But the heart that kept the life blood of commerce ng thr the veins and artéries of this great Repubdlic was where it was whenthe years of American progress were few and where it would be when they are counted by centuries. New York owed much to the development of the great West, but that development also owed much to New York. When the Ameri- can colonies were buta fringe of sparsely peopled communities stretched along the Atiantic seaboard, there were provinces for which a greater future might have been predicted than for New York and cities that bade fair to lead in the race for wealth the hustling port of the Hudson. But wher the colonies had become self-supporting States and the tile of migra- tion — — to pass beyond the mountain bar. rier and overfiow into the valley of the Mis- sissippi, the future greatness of New York was assured. It was within her borders that the first scheme of colonial union had been formulated, and there also had assembled the first Provincial Congress to prepare the ground forthe fair edifice of American lib- erty. The first State constitutionof New York had been universally accorded the very highest rank among the written instruments of human frog liom. The kKrie canal constructed by New York had rendered possible and profitable the settle- ment of the Valley of the Ohlo and the pro- cess of Western competition, which was then begun, hadended by making it unprofitable to pursue the course of crops and husbandry on which New Yorkers throve sixty years ago.

Naples, Oct. 22.—The news of the kin - ding of the Dalton band of train rob- bers in Kansas has occasioned a considerable amount of comment in this city, and in fact throughout Italy. The Italians are ina way proud of their alleged pre-eminence in one line of industry—that of brigandage—and not @ Tew persons, even of the highest classes, feel it aga national slight that the American outiaws have so far exceeded the native arti- cle in daring, and that American citizens, unsupported by the military, bave taken such strong action in repressing the crim!- nals. For brigandage is not dead by any means in this country. In fact it has not been 80 prevalent as it is now for thirty } years. This is due partly to the prevailing financial crisis, partiy to iajaudicious economy in connection with the Department of the In- terfor, controlling the Provincial authorities, notably the abolition of the monnted gend- armerie, who were liatimately acquainted with the country, and partly also to the fact that Government officials of every kind are just now far more busy in preparing for the general elections, which come off at the end of next month, than in attending to their ad- ministrative duties. It is freely charged and generally credited that the local officiais are actually in friendly intercourse with the various criminal organ- izations, in order to secure the support, both ofthe members thereof and of the people whoni they terrorize, at the forthcoming elec- tions. for the dar Post-Disratcr. upon a time Hallowmaas, Oct. 81, was important season, especially among folk, who marzed their year with such stones ag Easter, Whitsuntide, Michael. ; 885 $ and Hallowmas.

From Geneva we had plenty of mountain climbing to do until we got through the Tyral and — = fiat country comprising the Danube But we didn’t mind climbing ate all, for we alw ays bad a coast on the other side of the mountain. Don’t think my professor was an old, stiff sort of fellow. Not a bit of it. He was a young man, larger than Il and very muscular, and he had carried off many prizes in the college gymnastum, and the way wou drive his 56-inch wheel up the grades made me green with envy. Uptothe time we reached Belgrade, the chief city of Servia, I had had no occasion to see the professor display his strength except once and that was one afternoon when we were bowling along the road between Funf- kirchen and siohacsin Hungary. Ihad got some distance ahead of the professor, who had stopped to glean information abouta historical event and had lost sight of him around several bends in the road. If was rid- ing **hands-oft"’ on an easy bit of road, when a peasant’s team took fright, turned short, — the wheel and tippea the old wagon "ay kindness got the better of my sense, for er up, I dismounted and in the best Ger- man i could commana asked if I could be of any assistance. The two peasants, ugly- looking customers, came toward me smil- ing, which threw me off my ard. One moved behind me, and while I was bending over the wagon to see the damage done they both threw themselves upon me with oaths endarain of blows. I aimed a biow at one, but the man behind caught my arms. I gave a wild yell for help. In a moment I heard the familiar toot of the professor’s bicycle whistie and then his big wheel swept around the bend. Then I saw the professor take a man in each hand and tear them off measif they were children. After shoving our fists in the fellows’ faces until they were well frightened we mounted and sped on. We left Kelgrade all right and got as far as Kruschovatz before another experience be- fell us, but this one was more serious. This time the professor's wit, not his strength, saved us. We decided to cross into Bosnia. We set out for Novi Bazor, and to get there we had to cross a spur of mountains, the ex- treme northern end of the Pindus ran It was late inthe day when we left Krusch ovatz. The people there told us not to go, thatthe road was not of the best and that brigands had been seen there ot late. What do we care for brigands? They can’t catch us? Iasked contemptuously. Yes but some of them ride .“ was the reply.

The Italian brigands take no such desper- ate chances as do the American outlaws, nor are they nearly so likely to meet with oppo- sition. A typical case was that of Baron Antonio Spitalien of Catania, who was held to ransom a short time aco. He set out to vigit one of his estates at some distance from the town. He was ac- companied by his son. Riding to his prop- erty fo argange some matters with his bailiff, he was atfacked by nine splendidly mounted brigands, armed with carbines, revolvers and daggers. All were handsomely dressed some in cloth, some in velvet. They captured the baron,bound the servants and demanded an enormous sum as a ransom. The baron declared that he had not 30 much money with him, whereupon the brigands took him securely bound to the villa of the baroness, who op sgeing the ap oach of the band, pecried y bolted ana rred the doors and windows of the house. A demand was made by the brigands for the ransom ofthe »‘aron, and after prolonged ne- gotiations, in which the village priest, who bad made his appearance upon the scene, took part, the sum of $10,000 was agreed upon and threwn out of the windows by the baroness to the brigand leader. The brigands then letthe baron go. Ihe latter ran up the stairs and into the house, forgetting to close the door behind him. The brigands in- vaded the villa, got possession of all the weapons in it and demanded of the Baroness all the money she possessed. See declared that she had nothing but the $10,000 already given them. But the brigands. putting their daggers at her throat, insisted that she should show them all her valuables. She still resisted, declaring that she conld give them nothing more. ‘ithe Drigand chief then made ber give him the keys to the ground floor rooms, where he soon found 110,000 francs, which he at once appro- riated. After the ‘fatizues of the search the rigands rested and refreshed themselves, drinking the Baroness’ champaign and smok- ing hercigars. When they at last wentaway they kissed the Baron's hand, assuring him that for the future his family would be safe, and one of them even turned back and gave the Baron his watch and chain, saying that in the hurry of the departure he had torgot- ten to restore it. KILLED AND MANGLED. Another Sicilian gentleman named Bihott! was kidnapped. He had no rich neighbor to stand by him in his distress, and he was car- ried off to the hills. A ransom was required of $2.0.0, which his family could not raise. As the Money was not forwarded within a fortnightihe miscreants bu him by way of warning to the relatives of future prisoners. The body, ‘‘horribly mangled and burnt,’’ was inusultingly dispatched to his home. Wulle the country st age or Giligenza, which goes every day from Cave to Zagarola, two laces not far from Rome, was on its ourney to Cave with the mail and passengers. tt was stopped by seven masked brigands, each armed witha gun. They or- dered the coachman off the box and made ulm open the post-bag, from which they took all the registered letters. — then robbed all the passengers, tak - rom them all their money and valaabies. eee done this they told the coachman that he might proceed on his way, but he was to say nothing of what had happened if he valued his life, Just as the diligenza had got oft a smaller carriage appeared coming up ihe same road and on the way to Palestrina. In it were three brothers. The one who was driving, on seeing the brigands, tried to pass them, and, tn fact, did so, and on some way, but he was stopped by a shot which mortally wounded him. The brigands then robbed the three brothers of 100 francs, their watches and two revolvers.

One chair holds the baker, anot ler the coach- man, a third the parson, a fourth a dress- maker—in fact, the trades represented are limited only by the number playing. In the two chairs at one end of the line sit the bride and bridegroom, whose wedding is unaccountably delayed. Opposite them, between the two lines, sits the player who osesas Jake. To begin the game a stand- ng player knots a club of handkerchiefs and frowning heavily, advances to demand of the bridegrom why the wedding does not come off. In excuse the bridegroom says the parson has not come. The parson pleads that the coachman would not carry him, The coachman, threatened with a ciub- bing, lays it to the dressmaker, upon whom he was waiting to fetch the wedding gown. Thedressmaker in turn says it was the baker’s fauit,who had not sent the cake. The baker likewise passes on the blame to some one else, who has also an ex- cuse.

Money, was the answer. I have none, said Signor Fetro nei. Valess you give me vour purse, said the brigand, a will shoot you,’’ and he pulled’ out his revoiver. The urse was given him, dut as it only contained 00 francs, which did not satisiy him, ordered the ladies, who had nearly fainte with fright, to give him their watches an the little jewelry they had on them or he would shoot them Ali these exploits, it win de noticed, have been performed when there was little or no danger, andthe banditshad only to feara tardy pursuit.

Outside speculation is utterly destroyed and professional talent is doing little, and then chieny in a scalping way. There are few who care about selling any large lines short and standing on the m. 80 low is the price, and that fact itself adds to the heaviness of the situation. The firmness displayed by foreign markets in the face of the almost demoralized state of affairs on . thia side, indicates that the foreigner has more confidence in wheat at these prices than the American dealer. But the foreigner is not taking enough American wheat at these prices to arouse any feeling of confidence in American markets. An exceptionally heavy amount of four is going abroad and still sell- ing, andthe rate of exports (in flour and wheat) Keeps considerably above 8,000,000 bu weekly. Since July 1, the amount in flour and wheat has been atthe rate of 200,000,000 bu for the season, and there has been little diminution in seaboard clear- ances of late; not enough at any rate, to indicate any stoppage to them in the near future, nor will there be likely to be at present temptingly low prices. Ad- vices the other side breathe quite a con- fident spirit. A late Liverpool market circu- lar reads: ‘ The improved feeling noted in our last review has again rather strengthened, in spite of enormous deliveries of wheat to the Western elevators by American farmers, anda marked increase in their visible supply. The stock-taking of the 3th ult. in our port revealed an unprecedented weekly eo and export of &bout 904,000 bw of „ although some proportion of ene evi- dently was stock earried by millers, and fot ac- tually consumed, vet it is evident that the drain upor the ports this season will be ge | heavy, both the condition and relative price of En wheat throwing the demand on foreign. In con- nection with the large reserves of foreign wheat held in this country, it must not be forgotten that an excess of 8,000, to * du, as com- pared with former seasons, is partly compensated by _ N deficiency in the growth of our. own elds.’ The prospects for the next winter wheat crop are by no means flattering, and it will require a lengthy. spell of most favorable weather to overcome the injurious effect of the late prolonged drought. Good rains of late have changed thsee unfavorable weather conditions, but the winter wheat crop 1s not all seeded by any means, anda consid- érable rtion that was inthe ground may not be nefited enough by the present wet weather to enable it to enter winter quarters in shape to resist severe weather. These receipts will not keep upat their present rate for ever, either, and one thing the trade can bank on—farmers’ reserves are lower now than they ever were before at this sea- son of the year, considering the two im mense crops for 91 and 92, and by next spring promise to be very low indeed. It will take a good up turn in prices and the market presenting signs of solidity and giving some good reasons fora return of confidence to draw in active bull specula- tion, but let that be had and the trade will forget all about the big visible—which, by the way, is all placed for forward delivery— the large carrying charges and every other influence that just now is creating such in- tense depression.

The stock of 440,000 bu—238,000 bu is No. 2—shows no appreciable change. * .* — Although millers report a fair business in flour, it could be moved only at very close figures. The foreign trade was just begin- ning to think that the bottom had been reached and was ready to buy freely for for- ward delivery, but the Government report and the consequent depression in wheat Knocked the pene from under the flour market, an it is now difficult to make sales, as buyers are not willing to purchase on a declining market. Another drawback to the export trade has been the steady advance in ocean freight rates, The movement of wheat, flour and cotton is so great that the business cannot conveniently be handled by the ocean plying steamers. The domestic trade was only fair, asa good many buyers withdrew from the market, awaiting further concessions. The hand-to-mouth policy in buying has been a good one so far this season, and there is no disposition manifest to stock up, although it is generally considered that flour is cheap. The shipments during the week aggregated 40,897 bbls, and the receipts were 82,516 Dbis. All the miils are running on good time, as most of them are sold pretty well ahead, and the output was as follows: —— ow ee nw Last Week Cap'y week. before, 24 rs.

The readines with which Yofferings have been absorbed produced an undertone of strength. The demand from spinners is making constant inroads in the surplus visible supply and the feeling of con- fidence in the future of cotton seems to be spreading, and the temper of the trade, both domestic and foreign, was very bullish. The weather has been rather favorabie for the growing crop, but the small receipts lead to the belief that.the crop will be lighter than a great many estimates place it. Re- ceipts locally continue very light and not much doing in consequence. Sales, durin the week, aggregated 2,826 bales. Officia quotations were lowered 1-160 ůũn Monday, but advanced 1-16c Tuesday, 1- 1606 Wednesday and c Saturday. There was no change for the better in the hay market this week. Receipts were 3,092 tons, against 3,872 tons last week and ship- ments 534 tons, against 846 tons. The falling off in receipts cut no figure, asthe market was largely overstocked at the beginning of the week and the demand being by no means large enough to absofb the daily receipts. Stocks have steadily accumulated and caused buyers to hold back for lower prices. The percentage of nice bright green hay among the daily arrivals Was very small, and, asthelocal consumptive demand was about equal tothe supply ofthis class of of- rerings, they were kept fairly well cleaned up. This, however, is the only kind of hay there is any demand for and if the receipts were to showany material increase prices would be forced down and accumulations result, as the demand is limited. There is a large stock of good feeding hay on hand, nearly all receivers being well supplied, but it does not sell, except in a small way, and Duyers have such a small estimate of its value that sellers are forced to make low down prices in order to effect sales, and still the movement was extremely small. Low grades are not wanted and at the very low prices at which an occasional car finds a buyer, there certainly can be no profit tothe shipper in sending such hay to market. Prairie is about on a line with timothy in the trading. The best hay was selling fairly well, but at no time was the de- mand equal to the supply and considerable went to store to await lesser receipts and a better demand before it can be placed.

Ocean freights are advancing, however, and attracting vessels to this side. + * — Canadian papers ara bringing up some in- teresting reminiscences of wheat prices. The Montreal Jrade Bulletin says that the New York Sun is out of it this year, its maiden ef- fort last year proving such a huge blunder in the estimate of the world’s supply, that it is notinitagain. Probably the Trade Bulletin has not read the Sun article on corn. It also recalis the Farmers’ Alliance circular advis- ing farmers to hold their wheat for $1.50a bushel, instend of which they sold it for 70 cents. The Winnepeg Commercial says that country papers are advising farmers to sell at present prices, the same as last year they were advising them to hold at the lop. * „ * Some interesting reading is found in the orthwestern Farmers’ Alliance ‘‘hold your heat circular’’ of last year.

The trade, therefore, may feel, toa certain extent, re- lieved by this subject of superabundant stocks. What we have in store has often been exceeded in previous years, with prices far higher than those cur- rent; and it is quite clear that the trade Is far more able to carry large stocks at low prices than when values are comparatively high. The market has been slowly gaining in strength and confidence; the siower the im- provement the better perhapsior the trade generally; but one thing seeims tolerably cer- tain-that on the eve of the winter period, with its increased consumption, with a small English crop, and with fully 16,000,000 bu less to be received from India in the next six months than was received last year, the natural bent of prites—starting from the re- cent depressed pliatform—!s upwards. In France there has likewise been a better feeling in thetrade this week, and although any advance has been dimcult, millers have bought more freely at late rates, partly ow- ing tothe better state of therivers, Whien allows their mills to work fulltime. Foreign wheat continues to sell slowly, but is quoted 6d to is higher on the week, viz.: 40s 6u per £500 duty paid at Havre for No, 1 Californian und dos to 89s 6d per £:80 for red winter. These prices show that Californian wheat is stili relatively much cheaper in France than in England, but that red winter is “earer. In the Paris term market wheat has maintained its price this week, but flour is rather lo wer. At Antwerp there has not been much change this week, but a fair c. 1. f. business continues to be done in Danubian and Varna wheats. The quantity of foreign wheat afloat for Antwerp fs still only moderate, viz.: 2,- 000,000 bu, against 4,000,000 bu last year. In the Beriin term market values have de- clined 2 tos marks per ton this week, but at Amsterdam there is little change on the se’nnight. At Pesth values for autumn term are rather lower than on Friday last. From tbe Street. Friday was generally observed by the com- mission merchants and produce dealers in honor of Columbus, and Third street pre- sented in the afternoon a regular Sunday scene, only one house being found open bya visitor to the produce quarter in the after- noon of that day. Ps 8 i ‘As an evidence of the growth of the St. Louis wool trade, a local house—A. Bienen- stok & Co.—has found it necessary to open up a branch in Boston in order to take care of their large. Eastern business more em- clently. Mr. Hermann Bienenstok and 1. L. Jones will be in charge of the Boston office, ad a * The prolonged dry warm spell, the evil ef- fects of. ich were feit in city as well as coun fave way last Wednesday toa much n ‘very welcome change—to a de- cide tem ; 1 perature and copious It was es g ally agreeable to the apple a who had to combat the hot weather 80 mae The game dealers, too, hailed it with delight, for the losses through n weather were quite serious to s ppers and receivers alike. ‘ wd ot men stood over a deep hole in the street’ u Which a few men were at work k in oe water pipe.

The past week was so rainy and cool that the demand for grapes fell off to a surprising extent, and sales did not average much over half of the heavy sales of the preceding weeks. A sSmali margin to the principal operators was Visible and maintained up to yesterday, when one ar two firms were offer- ing the fruit at cost. Nearly half of New York’s heavy yield ts still in the hands of the growers, and how they will fare in the mat- ter of remuneration depends largely on the weather the next three weeks, which is all that is left of the regular selling geason, * 7. — It can be set down as a fact that the supply Of turkey in the territory tributary to this marketis exceedingly small. Country mer- chants and visitors from the small interior towns, both in Illinois and Missouri, declare it was the worst spring for the raising of the young flocks they can recall in many years. The prolonged rains were the rule everywhere and at a time when the young birds needed dry weather and hundreds of flocks, ranuing from 25 to 150, were in many instances wiped outentirely, nota bird escaping. Searceliya section of the country escaped unfavorable weather for the raising of young turkeys, and asa result the families having turkeys on theirtabie for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year will have to pay a good round sum for them. . * * There are a good many visitors te the wholesale quarters, both male and female, who manifest a good deal of surprise upon learning they cannot buy one package as cheaply asa wholesale purchaser buys 100 or more. ‘lake grapes forinstance, which the dealers and pedlers buy by the 100 at 2:ic and 22c basket. When asked 25c a single basket the seller is met with: Why, I can buy at my door from the peddlers or my grocer at that price. Ithought this was a wholesale place.“ It is generally a waste of time to make explanations to most of these people, and as a rule the dealer has neither the time nor disposition todo so.. To make matters worse many of these people imagine they are doing the produce man a favor when they call and get a package of goods at a reduc- tion or wholesale figures. In consequence very littie time is wasted On some of these bargain-hunters by a number of firms on the streets. + Concerning the London apple market a leading fruit firm of that city writes a Third street commission house under date of Oct. 8: Conforming our circular of the 18th of August the forecast of the season therein set out has been amply verified. Yesterday the Liverpool market broke, a iot of Canadians sold from 7s to 10s ($1.75@ 2.50) per barrel. Upto thepresent this market has been well supplied with home-grown produce and French. There have only been a cargo from Nova Scotia of 11.000 bbis, which realized from 10s to 18s, according tosorts. Our market is empty of barrels ot apples and the home-grown are getting cleared up, except so far as what will be put into the storehouses. Altogether wesky that ordinar apples will sell at low prices, still best apples wii always make prices ana this market will always main- tain its reputation for making the Dighest prices of any in the Kingdom. 2 * 5 Dealers who have been fortunate enough to have receipts of potatoes this week have struck a very profitable market. The week opened with very light stocks and the daily receipts were very light. With the above conditions and an active demand the market started upward and climbed steadily until an advance of 150 per bu had been made and the demand unsupplied. Most of the dealers have large contracts in the North, and the present condition of affairs would be quickly changed could the parties from whom they have potatoes purchased secure cars to fill their contracts. * — A new York writer says: The largest vine - yard area of native grapes in this country runs through western New York and into Pennsylvania along Lake Erie, forming a belt of land whicn annually yields from 50,000 to 60,000 tons of table grapes for market, While this represents the amount Sold in the markets as table grapes, there are many thousands of tons in addition which are utilized in other ways or left torot on the vines. Itis estimated by growers that over 50,000 acres are planted with grapes in that region, and the number of vineyards in- creases every season. Probably no part of the country offers better facilities and richer grape soll than can be found t ; * * — * A joke that miscarries is usually worthy of note, The late fire in the — uarter. which came very near cleaning up Gus Kill ingec’s produce store, brought around a number of visitors to his piace, al .

It is al- most certain that current rates will continus for at least the next thirty days, aud it 16 un- likely that they will go to any very much higher figure. While the banks’ surplus re serves have been wiped up, the showing is a fictitious one, as itincludes the State banks also, which are not required to keep @ 26 cent reserv on hand. The large national banks and trust companies are fairly well supplied with money, and any great stringency is unlikely. The h gh rates for 4 at this eenter are, strange to say, advanced as a reason why immediate imports of go old are unlikely. With exchange near the gold importing point and a zor 3 per cent rate for money, the banks could afford to suspend interest on gold in transit, but no banker cares to im- port gold at present wnen he would have to y interest on $1,000,000 for a week or more. he outfiow of currency continues in diminished volume, the West and North- west being about satisfied and the bulk of the shipments now going South. The industrials have enjoyed their full share of the 6 la- tion of the week, though they have had less of a monopoly than heretofore. The granger stocks have cometo the front, owing to the tremendous receipts of grain at Ohicago and to the consequent effect upon thelr earnings, which show increases over even the phenom- enal gains of last year. The dissolution of the Western Trafic Association has failed tot exercise any depressing influence on the securities of its component roads, and the subsidiary fretght and passenger associa- tions seem to be keeping rates fairly well in WAS DEFEATED.

C., Oct. 22.— Minister of speeches and inter- views of recent date, has been taking to him - self, with a fine show of modesty, full credit forthe adjustment, between the United ‘States and Chili in the matter of the award ot $75,000 as reparation to the families of the dead satlors of the Baltimore and those who suffered personal inj at Valparaiso. In the speech made by Mr. Egan at Ophir Farm ne declared that he claimed no credit for himself except that he “‘carried out instruc- tions to the letter. In other interviews he has described at length the efforts he was compelled to put forth to secure an adequate award. | The facts in the case are that Minister Egan, from first to last, has had absolutely nothing whatever to do with the award granted by the Chilian Government except to receive it after it had been voluntarily ten- dered. In support of these facts the Post- Dis- PATCH correspondent has secured the tex: of the official letters which passed between Senor Errazueriz, the Chili Minister of Foreign kelations, and Minister Egan con- ‘cerhing the award. This correspondence has been * guarded dy the State De · partment for obvious reasons. It shows clearly that Minister Egan nor any other officials had anything to do with fixing the amount or with stipulating the amount of its payment. a Following is the text of the letter of Mr. Errazueriz tendering the award: [ bole gat 2 “ OF FOREIGN RELATION e b Dran SIR—In conformity with the suggestion that I permitted myself te make to you when I was first charged in June last with the affairs of this depart- ment, I have the honor to communicate to you the fact that my Government now puts at your disposal the sum of $75,000 in gold, begging your Government to make distribu- tion among the families of the two sailors of the crew of the United States cruiser Baltimore, who died in conseauence of wounds received in Valpa- raiso the 16th of Oct. 1891, and to those of the crew who suffered personal injuries more or less grave as a result of that lamentable event. The undersigned would have been gratified in tendering this offer heretofore, but has been delayed and has encoun- tered difficulties in consequence of the absence of exact information of the necessary details to which the Government of Chili itself proposed to attend, and it was for this same reason thatthe undersigned permitted himself td susgest to you that the amount of the same he desired to put at your disposal should be fixed by some high offi- cial of the United States, who would be more amply situated than ourselves to appreciate the exact Gamage done to the persons and families of the crew of the Baltimore. I renew to you the assurance of my high and distinguished consideration, with which lam, sir, your obedient servant, 1sODORO ERRAZUERIZ. The terms of this letter indicate clearly that as soon as Minister Errazueriz assumed the management of the Foreign Office, he assured the American Minister that his gov- ernment would lose no time in making ado- quate reward. It also shows that the govern- ment of Chili made the suggestion that the amount of the award be left to some high of- ficial of the United States and that the failure of Minister Eganto secure an appraisal of damages by an agent of the UnuitedStates, or umpire, materially. delayed the final award. The text of Minister Egan's note, accepting the tender, follows: LEGATION OF THE UNITED STATES, SANTIAGO. duly 16. ein- I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt ofthe attentive note of Your Excellency of the 12th inst., in which you communicate tome that in con- formity with the desire expressed by Your Excel- lency upon assuming the duties of the department, in June last, in the sense of an early and amicable settiement of the Baltimore question, the govern- ment of Your Excellency places now at the disposal of the undersigned the $75,000, and begs me to make ais. tribution among the femilies of two sailors of the crew of the United States cruiser, Baltimore, who died in consequence of wounds received in Val- paraiso, Oct. 16, 1891, and of those of the crew of the same vessel who havesuffered personal injuries more or lers grave in the same lamentabie affair. On behalf of my government, accept with pleas- ure the amount thatthe Government of Your Ex- collency has been pleased to put at my disposal for the object indicated. In so doing I convey to Your Exceliency the expression of the very ‘cordial sentiments with which the Gov- ernment of the United States of America appreciates this amicable compensation, frank and entirely satisfactory on the partof the government of Chili, and Lam assured that the generous and ‘spontaneous action on the part of Your Excellency will contribute greatly in drawing closer the ties of friendship which I trust will unite always our sister ‘Republics. I avail myself of this occasion with much ure in renewing to Your Excellency the assur- ances of distinguished consideration, official and personal, with which Ihave the honor to subscribe myself, Your Excel 's obedient servant, PATRICK KGAN. Senor Don Isodoro Er riz, etc. Mr. Egan’s statement is itself evidence thatthe tender of the Chilian Government was a ‘‘generous and spontaneous attion,’’ with which he (Egan) had nothing whatever todo, The meager correspondence on the subject, which is reproduced here entire, shows that there was no discussion be- tween the Chilian Minister of Foreign Rela- tions and Minister Egan, which would have enabled the latter to bring into play the re- markable diplomatic acumen which Pres!i- dent Harrison would have the people of the country believe he possessed. Patrick Egan, after conferring with the - members of the Republican National Com- mittee yesterday, gave out an explanation of his failure to give Mr. Blaine credit in his Ophir Farm speech last week. Referring to the handling of the Chillan affair, he said: **The “Sensation with regard to what ts called my snub to Mr. Blaine reminds me of tue fact that during the Irish agitation for repeal, O'Connell used to say that when the London Times praised him he always made an examination of his conscience to find out what error he had fallen into or what wrong he had done. I have made an exam- mation of my conscience iu this case and I find that my fault is one of omission instead of commission. Being called upon to speak without preparation I omitted to make the reference that I oughtto have made to sum of tue manly and patriotic manner in which Mr. Blaine stood by me throughout all the attacks made upon me in connection with the Chilian affair.

You would bardly know that it was Edwin Booth unless he raised those surprisingly lustrous and mel- aticholy eyes which for so many years have been familiar to everybody who knows any- thing about theatrical matters. They remain unchanged save fora pained and worried ex- pression which has come into them of late and which intensifies their naturally sad look. But everything else about the great actor has changed, and changed most unhappily. The appearance of great age is the most striking of all the alterations that have come m Mr. Booth’s appearance. In years he is by mo means an old man. Mr. Grossman, his son-in-law, said yester- day he had overdrawn his account so far as his nerves and strength went, and the result was that he was brought up with a sharp turn. It is not within the wildest possibility that he will ever appear on the stage again. „I suppose,’’ said Mr. Grossman, that were he to get well he would want to go back to the theater, but he never speaks of it, or, I dDelieve, thinks of it. He does not think of anything any more than he can help. Even the telegrams and cable messages which come to him whensome paragraph appears in the papers concerning his ill-health, even these worry him, for he attends to them all himself and they make him work. What he wants ig rest, absolute quiet and rest. Mr. Booth tottered to the door of the smok- ing room ot the hotel while Mr. Grossman was speaking. He had just sat down and was about to light a cigar when his daughter, Mrs. Grossman, appeared at the door, and Mr. Booth struggled to his feet and with weak unsteady steps advanced to meet her. She wanted him to go dining but he bent over and kissed her and said: No, I had a bad night, Ido not want to be moving to- day. I will be quiet and remain here. It is only a few days since he had so severe anattack of vertigo that he fell heavily in his room and bruised his forehead, It was inthe morning shortly after he got out of bed, atime when the vertigo is most apt to seize him, and although his daughter was with him in the room she was unable to reach him in time to prevent his fall. These attacks, however, have become less frequent Of late, and this is regarded as a favorable symptom, dus to the quiet and rest he has had in Lakewood. He has no physician in attendance upon him, and will not be bothered with a personal attendant, though during the time his attacks of vertigo were frequent he was in danger of falling and in- juring himself. But he prefers to go his own way and look out for himself, Justas other guests of the house do. He gets up about 9 or 9:30 o’clock, and takes his breakfast about 10. Sometimes he has breakfast in his room and sometimes he goes to the dining- room, but his dinner he always takes in the dining-room, unless it happens. that he is feeling uncommonly weak. His great weakness isin his legs. They are so unsteady and feeble as he walks that it seems as though the merest touch would overthrow him. Hemakesan obvious effort to carry his head erect, but it has a weak list on one side, which, together with his unsteadiness on his feet, is strangely suggestive of the stroke of paralysis which Lawrence Barrett had to announce to a Rochester audience had come upon bim. Feeble as Mr. Booth is, it is not to be un- derstood that he is in any immediate danger of death. With such absolute rest and quiet as he is keeping now it may be a long time before that event occurs. He is notin a gloomy frame of mind. He joins the little group at the Laurel House smoking-rooms mearly every x, | and takes his share in the conversation. e makes ita point to walk every day around the long line of verandas which line the hotel front, and which, for a sick man, make rather a ion stretch. Very often he drives with Mr. and Mrs. Grossman and his favorite diversion is playing on these same verandas with his two grandchildren, whom he adores, Mr. Booth, Mr. and Mrs. Grossman and these two children make up the entire party. They came to the Laurel House the day it opened, Oct. 1, and will robably remain all winter if Mr. Booth con- inues to hold his own. They all passed the summer together at Narragansett Pier and only remained in the city until the first Lake- wood hotel opened. Mr. Booth was always a reserved man, and now that he is ii he is more so than ever. People who come fosee him he generally sees, although it with an effort, and in most cases his conversation is of the brief- est. Mr. Grossman, however, receives most ot the people who come to inquire as to Mr. Rooth's condition. These inquiries, how- ever well meant, are more or less a burden and weariness to Mr. Booth, even when they come by wire or mall. To meet them in any way involves just so much exertion, and ex. ertion or anything approaching itis the one thing Mr. Booth has to avoid. Even his readifg is of the lightest. „We reada novel, anditf we like it and think he would like it,“ said Mr. Grossman, e turn it over to him. He has 2 finished the “Iceland Fisherman,’’ and he generally has some story in hand to pick up when he feels inclined. He reads nothing, however, except what is merely entertaining and does not involve any particular mental exertion.’’ Mr. th, even when in the best of health, always nad a pale face. It is, of course, paler than usual now, and the pallor is somewhat heightened by the somewhat sombre viothing he wears. His frock coat and waistcoat are of dark, almost black, macerial, and the cravat ig a plain black bow above ratner an open expanse of white shirt front. His hair has not grown ony grayer since his illness. It is of the dark, iron-gray tinge it has been for years, and is worn thrown straight back from the forehead in a careless way so fa- miliar an the pictures which have so long been fore the public. Now and then he walks out into the Dakewood village street in front of the hotel and sometimes he pushes on even as far as the lake, which, with its dark border of melancholy pines, has had from the first a peculiar charm for the actor. THE UNION DEPOT PROBLEM The Vexing Question to Be Settled Next Tuesday. Ohe of the most interesting meetings held when the new Union will be open for dis- listed in the company until the work 18 completed and so long as they do not violate any of the police ordinances of the city, the board has no right to interfere. At Tuesday’s meeting there will be no rep- resentatives of the Union Depot or Terminal Railway companies unless they are sent for or notified to that effect. The board will have the entire matter to itself for discus. sion and it remains to be seen whether or not they have jn this as in some other mat- ters waited too long before taking action, SECURED M’GINLEY’S PLACE, Charles T. Sival'is, the Well-Known Circus Manager, to Conduct a Museum Here. The McGinley Museum, on Sixth street, near Franklin avenue, has changed hands, and will be opened upina few days by Charles T. Sivallis, whofor many years was one of the managers of Cole’s Circus, and later of § Sells Bros. circuses. For some time Mr. Stvallis, who has had twenty years’ experience in the show business as a manager, has had his eye on St. Louis, and pitched upon the McGinley Museum building on account of its size and location. No other building in the city is -sO well adapted for its purpose. For over a week the structure has been undergoing a complete renovation. The manager of the new museum will de Mr. W. H. Troost, who has had many years’ experience in the amusement business. Every care will be taken to conduct the place on a high moral lane, and to have it a resort where ladies and children can spend a delightful and instructive afternoon, The opening attrac- tiors include the highest-priced features to be had in the country. Among these are Mrs. Crowley, the civilized ourang-outang who for several years has beenin Centra Park, New York. This is her first appear- ance outside of that city. There are also Prof. Wallace, and nis silk industry exhibit; Capt. Thoraton and wife, the tattooed couple of England; Prof. Vandy, the Australian wizard;the Ideal Troubadours, and other attractive features, OUR MOUNTAIN RAILROADS, Colorado Beats the Record for the High- est in the Worid. Mr. George G. Anderson, M. I. O. E., writes from Denver as follows: ‘‘The Pall Mali Budget contained a paragraph giving (froma Swiss paper) the heights of the principal mountain railways, and stating that the new mountain railway from Brienz to the summit ofthe Brienzer-Rothhorn (2,252 meters) ‘is not only the highest in Europe, but the high- est in the world.’ Now Colorado alone can —— the record of this paragraph hands own, „Take first the Denver & Rio Grande Rall- road. The standard gauge line to Salt Lake City crosses the Continental Divide at Ten- nessee Pass, almost due north of Leadville, that town being 10, 00 feet, of nearly 3,110 meters high, at an ‘elevation of 10,433 feet (3,180 meters). Its narrow gauge line crosses the range at Marshall Pass at an elevation of 10,856 feet, or 3, 309.7 meters. The southern branch of the same railroad, leading to Durango and New Mexico, frst crosses the Sanzie de Oristo range at Veta Pass at an elevation of 9,888 feet, or 2,833 meters, and then the Continental Divide— San Juan or Conejos range—at Cumbres; elevation 10,015 feet, or 8,053.8 meterc. A branch of the same railroad from adville to Dillon crosses the Continental Divide (Fremont’s Pass) at an elevation of 11,328 feet. or 3,454 meters, The Colorado Midland Railway, now a part of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe sys- tem, crosses the Continental Divide at Hag- erman at an elevation of 11,500 feet, or 8,056 meters. »The Denver & South Park Railroad Union Pacific system, between Denver and Leadville, first crosses the Continental Divide at Boreas—elevation, 11,470 feet, or 8,497 meters—drops toan elevation of 9,000 feet at Dickey,and again climbs to 11,292 feet, or 3,442 meters, at Climax, on the Fremont Pass. Onits way south to Gunnison it again crosses the Continental Divide, Saguache range, at Alpine Tunnel elevation, 11,590 feet, 8,535.5 meters. But the highest point ofall in Colorado is, of course, the summit of Pike’s Peak —14, 147 feet, or 4,31 meters—to which a cog rail roa (Abt system) was constructed in 1890, and has been in successful operation ever since. Further, the Union Pacific Rall- road, in its overland route to San Francisco, crosses the Laramie Mountains at Sherman, elevation 8,247 feet, or 2,514 meters. This is the lowest point on the great backbone of the American Continent, and yet it is higher than the so-styled higuest mountain ral way —the Brienzer-Rothhorn, But this by no means exhausts the list of high mountain railways in the world. Ican- not put my hand on the figures at this mo- ment, but my impression is that there is a ra road in Peru higher than any in Colorado, with the probable exception of Pike’s Peak. And does not the Khyber Pass Rallway get up tolerably high? At any rate the moun- tain railwayscited in your paragraph are com pletely ‘out o it.’ ’’ CADETS’ GROG MONEY. Wherein the Annapolis Student is Luckier Than the West Pointer. From the Pittsburg Times. During the past week a number of United States naval Cadets have passed through Pittsburg on their way back to Annapolis Academy, after spending vacations at home. Last night a Times reporter had an entertain- ing half hour’s chat at the Union Station with Cadet Sterns, 93, of Dayton. A handsomer, more jaunty appearing lad never aspired to the position of admiral. Many a traveller paused to cast an admiring, approving look at the trim little salt, att red in his perfect- fitting uniform, as with cap tossed back on a head of wavy hair, brown eyes sparkling and his every motion marked by the easy grace ofa perfect setting up, he talked about how he had spent his vacation, his mates and life at the academy. There are many customs observed at the academy that seem iunny to a landsman. One in particular is the allowance of grog money made tothe cadets. The cadet who indulges in strong drink or tobaccoin any form is severely dealt with if found, and yet he is allowed 30 cents a day, for every day of the four years he spends at the academy, for ‘*grog.’’ Upto the time R. B. Hayes was President the issuing of datly rations of **grog’’ had been a custom from time im- memorial in the navy. During the Hayes administration, however, there was, it will be remembered, a specially strong temper- ance crusade and it was encouraged by Lucy Hayes, the gentle wife of the President. One of the results of that crusade was the pass- age by Congress of a law forbidding the is- suing of Frog rations’’ in the navy, but fearing that the effect of this would be to raise a mutiny among those who sail the deep, as the uiter abrogation of such a time- honored custom would, most likely have done, Congress provided that in place of the spirits a ‘‘grog allowance“ of 80 cents per day should be made to all from the ad est pains, however, have been taken by Chi- nese Officials to suppress all details of his loss of mind and of the strange eccentricities in which he has indulged. According to their story, which is current among the foreign diplomatic corps in China, the Viceroy’s health has been breaking for some time, and the shock of his wife’s death completed the shattering of his nervous system, He seemed to lose all control of himself, and for days before the steamer Oceanic, which arrived at San Francisco a few days ago, sailed, stories arrived from Tientsin in regard to insults to high officials. Premier Chang was born in the Ann-Huel Province Feb. 16, 1823. with Gen. Gordon in suppressing the Taep- ing rebellion, he, at that time, being Gov- ernor of the Thiang-Sin Province. The other Thiang provinces were added to his rile and in May, 1865, he was appointed Viceroy of the Li Hung Chung. ihe United Countries. The following year he was appointed Minister Plenipotentiary, in 1867 he was made Viceroy of Hong Kuang and in 1868 he became a Grand Chan- cellor. After the Tien-Tsin massacre in 1870 he was despolled of his titles and other wise punished on the charge of not assisting the General in command, but in 1872 the then Emperor returned him to power and made him Grand Chancellor. Now he is the Viceroy of the Metropolitan Provinces of Pe Chih-hiandas such is the actual ruler or chief administrator of the Chinese Empire. He is a man of liberal views and advanced thought and is deeply beloved by the Chinese people. Viceroy Li granted the much discussed American concessions to Count Mitkiewicz. He has given the Count many evidences of his high esteem and has stood ready to keep his word through that gentleman to the American syndicate. The magnitude of the Mitkiewicz-Barker concessions from the Chinese Government, represented by the Viceroy, Li Hung Chang, can only be adequately appreciated by those who practically know the immense re- sources of China and the tendencies of the Chinese. These concessions will be the key that will open the gates of China to the Western civil!- zation. So far only the crust has been touched of that immense country, with countless millions of inhabitants and untold wealth. The owners of these concessions, if they do a ot lose courage, have in their hands an inexhaustible source of enormous income, with the noble mission of developing and re- generating China, and awakening her people from their sleep of 4,000 years, - The present Emperor of China is the ninth of the Tartar dynasty, which by a large major- ity of the people are looked upon as usurp- ers. Out with the Tartar,’’, therefore, is the cry for which every Emperor of China listens. Tsal-tien, the present Emperor, was born in Pekin, Aug. 15, 1871. His mother, the Empress Regent, brought him up carefully. She is a wise woman of 50 years old, and said to be a great boxer and fencer. She encouraged the construction of telegraphs and rallroads and other appliances of modern civilization. The young monarch was, according to the Court etiquette, never punished, but under- went chastisement . through ‘‘a whipping boy, who received the blows in- stead of his imperial master. ® youn Emperor, however, was never Pick boy” Always velled from vulgar eyes, with miles of palace halls and vast expanses of vari- ¢ol- ored silken hangings, he has had, under the iron rule of celestial precedent, no or 8 » portunity of becoming acquainted with t outside world. He was married in 1889 with great pomp to Tet-Ho-Na-ha, a daughter of Deputy Lieutenant-General Knei Hsiang. He chose his bride from several hundred girls, The cost of the wedding festivitieg was said to be $10,000,000. Li Hung Chang, through his shrewdness and energy, has become a greater man than the Emperor, and itis more than suspected that he has nad his eye on ithe Chinese Europeans are confident that I. Hung Chan could, if he wished, have readily suppressed In 1860 he co-operated. POINTS ON THE NOSE. It Is the Most Eloquent Index of Char- acter, It Is Said. Written for the SUNDAY Post-DIsPATon. Saint Dunstan, so the story goes, Once pulled the devil by the nose With red-hot tongs which made him roar, Till he was heard three miles, or more. —Old Song. That wasthe beginning of crooked noses. Before that they were straight and symmet- rical. After the devil had had his nose tweaked he retaliated, according to theold song, by tweaking other people’s noses until There scarce was left a good, straight nose To show a man which way he goes. So that accounts, no doubt, for the fact that there are so few good noses nowadays. Phrenologists say that men’s proclivities, their habits, their tricks and their manners have all had a direct and visible influence uponthe shapeof the nose, until you can tell a man, and almost the company he keeps, just by the shape of his nose. A big, long, hooked nose denojes firmness, great pride and dignity. You may break, you may shatter that nose if you will—but it is bound to be noble in aspect and dignified in bearing to the very ed. James G. Blaine has a nose of that kind and though it was put sadly out of joint at the Minneapolis Convention, no one ever ceased to respect it. Whitelaw Reid’s nose isn't a nose of that sort. Itisa New York nose and slightly up- tilted by Yankee enterprise and broadened by Western push. It shows an inquisitive nature, a restless temperament and a general uncertainty of demeanor. Thatis what the phrenological men say. N In the Guide to Proper Selections’’ you will read: Upturned nose: Inquisitive; uncertain; fickle; uneasy; easily influenced; rather un- scrupulous; beware!’’ Political noses are apt to be one of either two stamps. They are either big or power- ful, like Harrison’s and Biaine’s, or they are broad and sersible like Grover Cleveland’s. Mr. Cleveland’s nose is what is known among phrenologists as vital. It denotes common sense, generosity, honesty, integrity and wisdom. And in the Guide“ it is to be **courted.’’ Dave Martin has a nose which plainly says ‘‘Duplicity,’’ Senator Hill’s nose reads Diplomacy, and Warner Miller has pride written allover his. Gov. Flower, onthe contrary, hasthe same broad generous nose that Oleveland has, and which belongs also to the grand old man of England. CRristopher Columbus had the same kind Of a nose. And ifit had not been for this Columbus type of nose, we might not have been here to-day, hurrahing beneath the shadow of the Statue of Liberty. The Colum: bus nose andthe Cleveland nose are ones that discover and do good things for America. Isabella, who must have quite shocked her court by showinga sptrit for discovery and adventure, had anose of the most adored feminine type of to-day. It was perhaps a little heavier and little longer. | Mrs. Cleveland has a very pretty nose. It is of the sensible type, like her husband 's, with a delicate line nearly straight and the suspicion of a ‘‘snub’’ for sauciness and good nature. It is a lovable nose. Mrs. Harrison's nasal feature shows strength of character, womanly virtue, rare accomplishments and all the other fine traits for which the wife of the President has been known throughout the administration, whether in sickness or in health.

The Indictment Good. Jadge Castleman yesterday overruled the motion of Attorney Thomas Harvey to trans- fer the case of Samuel A. Anderson, charged with grand larceny, to the Court of Criminal Correction on account of an alleged defect in the indictment. Mr. Harvey argued that the indictment should have charged Anderson with the theft of $65, and not with the theft ofa ketbook containing that sum, leay- ing it to be inferred or deducted that the money was stolen. Mr. Harvey took exce tion to the ruling of the court. 7 1 —̃ — A RAM FOR DEFENSE. The Ammen Will Soon Be Added to the United States Navy. Another vessel that will be a valuable ad- dition to the United States Navy is under course oOfconstruction at the Bath (Me.) Iron Works. She is called the Ammen defense ram, and she is the first boat of this type or- dered by the Government. A good fillustra- tion ot the ram from Seaboard is reproduced below.

The death of Sarah Cherry, revealing the fact of her marriage to James A. Flack, closes a romance of double life, intrigue and fraud among New Yorkers, many of whom held public offices. New Yorkers have not yet for- gotten the fall of 1889, when Sheriff James A. Flack induces his wifé to consent that a de- gree of divorce be entered against him on the grounds demanded by statute and with Susan T. Reynolds as co-respondent. Mr. Flack’s wife was not o deceived by himself but her son Williamjalso joined in the task of imposing same on his mother. The exposure of the attempt to bury the bogus court divorce records by Monell and Weeks, with tha passive part enacted by Judge Bookstaver, resulted in forcing Flack to abandon the Shrievalty, and with his son William he was tried, con- victed, but not sent tojail. Sarah was the co-respondent in the fictitious divorce suit. years of age. Flack, she was dark-haired, blue-eyed and She must have been about 4 Years ago, when she first met pretty.

AN OCEAN HOSPITAL. St. JOHNS, Newfoundland, Oct. 22.—The hospitalship Albert, sent out by the London mission to deep sea fishermen to afford re- ligious and medical assistance to the fisher- men along Tabrador, arrived here to-day, having successfully accomplished her work. She was four months engaged, coasted 1,200 miles, visiting all important harbors, hold- ing services and distributing literature. Her surgeon treated 1,190 patients gratis, 250 of the cases being. very suspicious ones. He considers the utility of the enterprise beyond doubt and reports that much poverty and destitution prevail, resulting trom the bad fishing. Two ships will be engaged in the mission next year.

March 8, Mercier and his party were de- feated at the polls. DeBoucherville was re- turned to the premiersbip with four Tory rs. Mercier’s colleagues were de- ated, but he himself was . to Par- 10 the jority was ‘thirty- eignt. This meant the Prosecution of Mercier and his ministers under the charge of corruption. The trial in progress is the result. Honore Mercier was five years ago returned to power as Prime Minister of Quebec by the largest following ever accorded toa public — man in his province. Since that period he has been the veritable idol of French Canadianism. He has posed as the champion of the national and religious rights of his fellow-countrymen, and was af- fectionately regarded by them as un enfant du sol. He had honors without number showered upon him by the Vatican, including his creation asa Count of the Holy. Roman Empire. He had before him a career full of promise. Of remarkable ability, and possessed of personal magnetism, he was recognized by Political friends and foes alike as the natural Jeader of his nationality. He has fallen a victim to over - confidence in sown ͤ powers, to the temptation of office, to the allurements of pleasure and to the un- principled conduct of his immediate entour- From abject poverty, he found himself sud- donly lifted to an equality with the first men d 1 of the land, railway magnates, merchants, bankers and manufacturers.

A Talk With Him About His Recent Sick- ness and His Trial for Unorthodoxy— His Eagerness to Learn of the Doings of the Outside World—Religious Intel- ligence. New York, Oct, 22.—Rev. Dr. Heber New- ton arrived atthe Park House, Summit, N. J., on Sept. 30. lle has taken a cottage and settled down to a cosy, comfortable life. Some of Dr. Newton’s friends who live at Summit say thathe has made marked im- improvement since he came to the oranges. The cool air of the mountains is doing hima great deal of good. When a Post-DISPATCH reporter rang the bell of Dr. Newton’s house yesterday a servant girl opened the door and Dr. Newton was met face to face on his way down stairs. He was at- tired in a light gray suit, light jacket and no vest. He wore a soft gray felt hat, which he frequently adjusted. Atwo days’ growth of gray beard covered hischin. His eyes were bright and his smile genial. Dr. Newton led the way tothe veranda, and seating himself in a sunny spot he folded the rim of his hat so as to shade his eyes from the bright sunlight. His faithful dog,a beautiful white and yellow setter, sat before him and placed his nose be- tween his master’s knees and looked intently up into his eyes. A sleek black cat jumped upon the railing and rubbed its back against the clergyman’s head. Dr. Newton put out his hands to fondlethe animals and said: **You see Iam rusticating—nothing to do all Gay but fondle my pets and go out driving. Is ſt any wonder that Jam getting well so rapidly?’’ When asked if he had brain fever a year ago when he collapsed,as some of his friends said, Dr. Newton replied: ‘‘Oh, I think not. I nad a nervous attack five years ago. This] ti last attack was a renewal and the p finished me. I spent the last four months at East Hampton, Long Island. I was so nervous ae then that I could not even glance at the headline of a newspaper without serious re- sults.

You see I have been out of the world for a year.’’ He was given two morning papers, which he took eagerly—indeed gratefully. Then he said: I don’t read more than the headlines nowacays.,’ Dr. Newton expressed great delight on learning that politics no longer wrought the people up. It shows that the country is safe,’ ’ he said. Dr. Newton was asked when he would re- turn to his pulpit. „Oh. not until lam quite well again. It may be six months orayear. Were youat service on Sunday?’’ When the doctor was informed that his visitor was at service his eyes brightened up. Were there many persons present?“ No, r. „1 suppose not,“ he mused. When the center pin is taken out things will goto pieces. Ah, how I will have to work for the first few months on my re- turn,’’ and the doctor seemed happy at the prospect, And what about your trial?’’ „Oh, Iam not thinking of that. I really know nothing about it. Are they still talkin about It? Well, I shall De ready as soon as am well enough 18 resume my Work, but 1 hardly think anything will be done,’ A great many people in New York would like to know ifthe committee appointed by Bishop Potter has reported yet on your case?’’ **I cannot be interviewod on that subject,’’ and the doctor’s eyes strayed off and rested onthe blue mountains stretching beneath. Finally looking up, with his lips firmly set, he said decidedly: 51 do not think that any- thing will be done. THE EPISCOPAL CONVENTION. RESOLUTION TO ESTABLISH A COURT OF Ar- PEALS VOTED DOWN. BALTIMORE, Md., Oct. 22.—Before the Epis- copal Convention assembled at 10 o’clock this morning Bishop Thomas of Kansas and Rev. Dr. Lobdell of Western New York presided at morning prayer. In the House of Deputies Rev. Dr. J. 8. Kedley of Minnesota brought about a slight flurry by introducing a resolution to appoint a joint committee of two bishops, two pres- byters and two laymen to consider t necessity of establishing a court of appeals from the decision of dio- cesan conventions or councils for the benefit of clergymen condemned for unortho- dox views and teachings. After a lot of par- liamentary sparring the point was made that the resolution was new business and could only be introduced py a two-thirds vote. This gould not be obt ned and the matter was ped. At 1¹ * the deputies went into execu- ve session to consider the nominations of Bishops made by the House of Bishops yes- terday.

The Rev. Dr. McVickar of Pennsylvania re- ported favorably fromthe Joint 99 on Conference on the subject of a ro rho the prayer book the recommendatl! the House of Bishops that sucha royalty be es- tablished. A motion to lay the report on the table was voted down, and it was recommitted. At this point Rev. Dr. Hoffman of New York said the Committee on the Consecration of Bishops was ready to report. President Dix announced that the report would be laid before the House in executive session. Resolutiohs of Thanks.

NEW FACTORS THAT WILL ENTER INTO THE CONTEST. Judge Turney, the Regular Democratic Nominee, Will Be Elected—Gov. Buchanan Faithles: to His Anti- Con- vention Pledges—The Poll Tax and Australian Ballot Laws Considered. NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 22.— There are four candidates for Governor and four electoral tickets in the field in this State. The candi- dates for Governor are Peter Turney, Chief Justice of the supreme Court, the regular Democratic nominee; Gov. James P. Buchanan, independent Democrat and nomi- nee of the People’s party; George W. Win- ston, Republican, and E. H. East, Pro- hibitionist. . Gov. Buchanan, a farmer, was made the nominee of the Democrats two years ago as a compromise candidate in a fight between Congressman Josiah Patterson of Memphis and Jere Baxter of Nashville, representatives of the Harris and Taylor wings of the party. He was elected, as a matter of course. As 60 ernor he has been a failure. His administra- tion has disgusted every respectable Demo- erat and every man who is proud of his State. tisned with his salary as Governor, and ough theconstitution of the State pro s thatthe Governor shall receive no fees, he had his Legislature pass bills allow- ing him to take fees in certain cases, and the Democrats charge that he bas received more from this source than the amount of Dis salary. Besides this, he ap- pointed over a dozen members of his family to State offices, 51. 0 om. especially for nis sister.

Giving occasion for the dis- play of fearless horsemanship, of dashing hand-to-band struggles in the fleld, of organized team work and of brilliant individual feats of skill, polo appeals irresistibly to lovers of manly exercise as a splendid means for the development of those qualities most necessary to all warlike and virile nations. It stands in the nineteenth century as the nearest approach to the tour- naments of the days of Knight-errantry, with, perhaps, the single exception of the regimental competitive contests with sword, rifle, bayonet and lance, so dear to the crack organizations of the British Army in the peaceful but nevertheless vigorous course of their life in garrison. It was for this en’’ Hartopp and Chain, names now almost Sacred in the latter dax annals of polo. In June, 1870, a match game of polo was played In Richmond Park between teams composed of officers of the First Life Guards and Royal Horse Guards against the Ninth Lancers and tenth Hussars. It was wop by the first-named team by four goals, From that day the permanent success of the new sport was assured. It was not left exelusive- ly tothe ar:ny, but was taken up by the gen- tlemen- riders of England, and in 1874 the Hurl- ingham Clabof England became the source of authority in all matters pertaining to —_ Hurlingham retains that position to- ay, the rules of the American Polo League, with headquarters in New York, being exact- ly those oi: the Hurlingham Club with one exception, governing the play of one mem- berofthe polo team. the first American polo eluo to attract international attention | was the South California, which dad its grounds at Santa Monjca, a watering place started it were essrs.

The securing of a goal“ is rr! the most tumultuous moment of a game, filed as itis with triumph for one team and bitter defeat for the other. A polo ground should resemblé a cricket- fleld in that it must be level and smooth. Its boundary lines should be plainly marked, and its shape rectangular, 300 yards long and 180 yards vide. Polo balls in size are three inches in diame- ter, and the standard English ball is made of witlow-wood, Polo sticks vary in length accordifig to the size and taste of the player. They are on tha principle of the ‘‘hocsey’’ or ‘‘shinny’’ stick, the head being about 9 inches long and z inches in diameter at the center.

It is a fair indication of the estima- tion in which polo is held to state that to-day the game is played in Great Britian, India, Africa, Australia, Japan, Canada, Mexico the United States, and even, occasionally in France, f PLAYED CENTURIES AGO. This present’ popularity of polo has de- veloped only within the past quarterof a century, but back of that growth of the spirited pastime it has a history that marks m as one of the most anclent of equestrian games. It was first played in Persia under the title of ‘‘chaugan,’’ and is men- eighteen miles from Los Angeles. In 1886, a team from the Hurlingham Club, cap- tained by Mr. John Watson, came to America to play a seriés of match games, but the series fell througn, owing to the inability of the inexperienced American players to cope with their thoroughly trained antagonists. Two games only were played, taking plece on the polo grounds at Newport, DUTIES OF PLAYERS. Under the rules of the Hurlingham Polo Committee all match games of polo must be played with four players ona side. They are numbered 1, 2,8 an 14, Nos. 1 and 2 being the **forward’* players, No. 8 the ‘‘half-back’’ and No. 4the back.“ The latter, as guard- ian of the goal of his side, is the captain of the team, directing thetr work in the field. He must always so manage his individual play as to be between his goal and the il and ready to defend the goal at critical mo- ments when the ball is brought near it by skillful back-hand strokes that drive it back past the inviding tine. No, 3, ‘‘half-back,’’ helps No. 4 principaliy, but also holds himself in readiness to go to the assistance of Nos. land 2. No. 2 is the free lance, or iight cavalry, of the team, the is made of birch, willow, sycamore, mango, or other hard woods. The cane handles are of ordinary or sometimes Malacca rattan and are let into the heads at a hole drilled near the center, Whereit joins the head it is tightly bound round with waxed thread. The tops of the handles are bound with soft white leather or India rubber to givea good grip for the hand, and are furnished with a wrist-strap. A polo pony must not exceed 14 hands in height. The nearer that standard the bet- ter, as endurance and weight are as neces- sary as speed. Ihe best breeds, in the order of their excellence, are the Barbs, Arabs, Syrian or Egyptian, Indian country-breds, American, New Forestand Exmoors. ‘they are capable of being trained to an extraor- dinary love of game that adds greatly to their value, andin England a well-bred aud trained polo pony now com- mands a price frequen 24 reaching the $1,000 mark. At least half of the game is played by the pony.

MOLTKE’S STUBBORNNESS, The Old Man Can Be as Speechless as He Is Stubborn. From the Pall Mal! Gazette. There are numbers of good things in the fifth volume of Moltke’s Memoirs, which has just appeared. It is told, for instance,that as the King’s birthdays successively approached tnere used to be bets among the Officers and the general staff as to how many words Moltke would use in proposing the toast of the day. Some backed & nine-word speech, others put thelr money on elght words. Molkey’s habit was to say, ‘‘Tothe health of his Majesty, Emperor and Kling,“ or“ To his Imperial » ajesty’s health. In 1884an oyster dreakfast was staked on the Marsual's not using more than nine words, But, because he began with the word Gentlemen,“ the t was lost. Ine loser comforted himself by saying. He's aging, 1s Molkte; he’s get- ing loquacious.’’ Unce, when the Field Marshal was staying for the baths at Ragatz, he went aione through the woods to Ffaffers. As it was a hot, tuirsty day, he stopped at a wayside inn for refreshments, The ljandiord hailed him with: ‘‘B Ragats, aren't you?’’ **Molkte is said tofbe there, eh!““ How does he look?’’ Wen, he looks much as you or 1 look, answered the Field arsnhal.

With the report of the disappearance of the warrant also comes a story of an attempt to defeat justice with filthy lucre and bay off the prosecuting witness, Joseph McKinney, a hard working machin- ist, went to the Four Courts in company with Officer McGrath last Friday morning and swore out a warrant against Jack Connell, a fie’er-d6-well who hangs around saloons in the nelghborhood of Broadway and Carr street. McKinney said he went into Reflly’s saloon, onthe corner of Broadway and Carr street, last Thursday, and took a drink. He started to go to the fear of the saloon, and in doing so he had to pass through a small wine room in the back part ofthe saloon. He saw several men sitting around the tables, but paid no attention to them. As he was walking out twoof the crowd leaped fromtheir chairs and caught him around the throat and put their hands in his pockets. He struggled to free himself and in the fight he was badly beaten, knocked down and kicked. The crowd then ran out of the saloon by the rear entrance. Officer McGrath, who was attracted by the rumpus, ran over im time to catch Connelly, who was running away. He took him back to the saloon and McKinney identified him as one of the crowd who had assaulted him and robbed him of $24. Officer McGrath locked him up. Late that night a man named Law- rence Owens Called at the home of William Fitzgerald, Deputy Clerk of the Court of Criminal Correction, and roused him out of bed so he could give tond for Connelly. CONNELLY BAILED OUT. Clerk Fitzgerald accepted the bondsmen and Connelly was released. The following morning, Friday, which was observed as a half holiday atthe Four Courts, McKinney appeared with Officer McGrath and stated the facts as here narrated. Wm. Smythe was acting for Mr. Estep, the Assistant Prosecut- ing Attorngy, and issued the warrant, but McKinney thinking the Clerk’s office was closed, did not swear toit, but left it with Mr. Smythe. went to the Four Courts and got the warrant from Mr. Smythe. He proceeded to the Clerk’s office, wheres he swore that the infor- mation contained inthe document was true and affixed his signature toit. The warrant was turned over to Deputy Clerk Bilhartz and should have been given to Chief Deputy Sheriff Lawrence Kickham, at once to serve, but it was not, and he has not received it up to date. Whena reporter asked to see the warrant, Clerk Bilhartzg said it had not been that he knew nothing of Fitzgerald also said he hing of the warrant. McKinney. who was found at his boarding- house, 167 North Second street, last night, said positively that he had sworn to the war- rant and would see that Connelly was pun- ished. In some — or other the warrant has been lostor misplaced and cannot be found. A FRIEND TO BUY HIM OFF. McKinney alsosaid anattempt had been made to buy himoff. Friday night a man he did not know called at his — house and asked to see him privately. Kinney that Connelly was nota member of the gang that robbed him, but on the con- trary was a good fellow. The visitor was anxious to see Connelly get off and of- fered McKinney $0 to drop the matter, if McKinney had had any doubts as to Connelly’s guilt they would have been dissipated, he says, by this most generotis Offer. He re- fused the money, though it wastwice the amount he had been robbea of, and he told his vishor he would go to the end in this case. A little while later McKinney had an- other visitor, whom he recognized as a blacksmith who hangs around the saloons on Broadway and Carr street. ‘This man very binntly offered McKinney another $50, twice as much as he lost, if he would fall to prosecute Connolly. Though McKinney had an opportunity to make $75 by the hold up he was submitted tothe night previous, he re- fused to take the money and still asserts that he will see Connelly in the penitentiary. In the face of these facts the loss of the war- rant for Connelly seems at least strange. He Lost $400. Patrick Walsh of 1515 Park avenue appiled fora warrant for grand larceny yesterday against Mrs. Clara Colbert, the wife of Jack Colbert, who keeps a saloon at Targee and Market streets. Walsh stated that Friday night he had $400, the savings of six years, which he intended to send to his mother, He took several drinks and last remembers being in Colbert’s and drinking next to Mrs. Colbert. When he left the place he discovered his loss and had Mrs, Colbert arrested. He could not swear that she robbed him and was refaseda warrant, Mrs. Colbert was released. Charged With Wife Abandonment. A warrant for wife abandonment was is- sued yesterday afternoon against Julius A. Cruse, a carriage varnisher living at 1465 St. Louis avenue. His wife has gone back to her parents, who live at 2804 St. Louls avenue, andtaken her baby with her. The Cruses were married —— eighteen months a o, and Mrs. Cruse claims that her husband has contributed nothing to the support of herself and child since last June. Military Prisoners. Albert B.

The Madison Jockey Club’s starter, Richard 8 yer, comes West bighiy recommended by II. Petting ll, H. Clay Ditmus and other ated Eastern turfmen. Billy Bruen, the well-known Western starter, has an offer under consideration to assist a local bookmaker, who expects to go on the block at Madison. The East St. Louis Jockey Club Racing Stewards have not reached any conclusion yetregarding the charges preferred against Jockey Carr by Owner Hugh Mccarren, John J. Carter, presiding judge at the course across the river, is confined to his quarters at the Southern Hotel with a severe cold. His position was filled yesterday by Associate Judge Brooks. Bookmaker May threw $1 inacrowd that surrounded his block after the last race yes- terday and quite ascramble ensued for pos- session ofthe coin. Ihe fortunate man, after spending fully ten minutes getting possession of the coin, discovered afterwards that it had a hole in it. Wililam Lovell’s stable, which was one of the largest winners at Guttenburg last winter and which has been racing at Chicago all suramer, has arrived atthe course across the river. The string consists of Lady Pul- sifer, Maggie Beck, Jack Lovell, Harbor Lights and Josie Wells. The latter two will Start for the first time at this point to- morrow. Most of the regulars at the course across the river are confident that Hugh McUCarreh’s son of St. Blaise, St. s.ark, will havean easy time of it winning the adison Jockey Club’s inaugural handicap next Saturday. Billy Lovell, however, will have something to say about the matter should he start Lady Pulsi- fer.

The weather was clear and warm andthe track in fine shape. The opening event was a dash of six and a half furlongs. A little flurry of excitement was created when Gatety stumbled & a breakaway and threw Shields, her ,vckey. The boy was not burt. Wrestler was the favorite and he won from end to end. Ann Elizabeth; che Western mare, was well played, »u. she only finished second. Inthe opipt Un of many, she should have won, for Crifith’s riding in the stretch looked very bed. In the first, Wrestler led from start to finish and won, driven out, bya neck from Ann Elizabeth, who beat Daniel a lengthanda half. In the second Helen refused to run and was left at the post. Rightaway, Uezeray and Trump raced head and head tothe turn, Where Rightaway drew out and opened up a gap of two lengths, which he held into the Stretch. There Uezeray collared him, and it looked all over a win for the filly, when Wheeler and Trump passed her witha rush. A rattling finish resulted ina head win for Wheeler trom Trump, who beat Uezeray the same distance. In the third Panway and Lillie K. cut out the running to the farturn where both were passed by Woodchopper. The latter showed the way tothe stretch and half way home was joined by Foxford. Morris, on the latter, simply outrode Boyle and landed Foxford a handy winner by alengthandahalf. Wood- chopper was six lentbhs in front of Panway. In the fourth King Crab jumped away front and the others never got near him. in He won hands down by two lengths in front of | Alian Bane. In the fifth little Fred led from start to finish and won easy by a length from Eclipse, who beat Beldemontio a length and a half.

CLEVELAND HEART- BROKEN, THE SPIDERS UNABLE TO BREAK THE BOSTONS’ CHAIN OF VICTORIES. Boston, Oct. 22.—Inthe second inning to- day after three | men should have been out, Clarkson came to the bat. There were two outand two on bases. Clarkson then sur- prised the crowd by hitting the ball out of the lot, three runs coming in. A Dase on balls, an error by Long and two hits gave the Clevelands three more runs and they thought they had a winner, but they were disap- pointed, as the Lostons, commencing with the fourth Inning, banged Clarkson all over the field and won an easy victory, earning eight of their twelve runs. * s heart | is broken.

A lady correspondent writes that the re- cent article in this journal on the influence of music upon certain animals rominded her of a visit which she paid four or five years ago to a country menagerie. She was ac- com panied by her brother, the late Rev. J. G. Wood, who wished to demonstrate to a party the effect of scent upon the brute creation. No sooner,’’ she states, *‘were we near the cages containing the lions and tigers than they got restiess and rubbed themselves against the bars, evidently recognizing a friend in my brother. ‘ihey received his caresses with much pleasure, though appar- ently with the expectation of something more to come. Upon his taking a small bot- tle from pocket and some pieces of brown paper from another, excitement in- creased. He poureda little lavender water upon the paper, and calling each animal by name, presented it upona stick to the fa- vored one, who, on taking it, rubbed the r upon paws, cheeks and back, and in- 2 ged in ot er antics, all expressive of ex- treme delight. hen two animals were in one cage the favored possessor of the scent would lie down upon the paper and roll over and over upon it to keep it from its disap- pointed mate. Ihe strange part of the mat - ter was that no other scent than the lavender water, had any attractions for these crea- tures. the shoutibe.

New York, Oct. 22.—A little life was in- Jected into what would have been a dull sporting week by Lord Dunraven’s challenge forthe America Cup. It is the topic of club- dom, but is not confined to that sacred circle. Gentlemen of the rolling gait and suggestive trouser hitch are also delivering their prac- ticalopinions on the subject. They think something should be done and done speedily, They do not believe in taking bluffs relative to any international contest. It is claimed that it would not require a great deal of ef- fort on the part of our yachtmen to provide sailing craft enough to distance a fleet of boats of the type proposed by Lord Dun- raven. LOOKS LIKE A RACE, It is thought by nearly all tbe members of the New York Yacht Club that the race will come off and that the Tonditions imposed by the club are about what Dunraven could ex- pect. The terms asked for this time are by no means as strong as they were on his last attempt and all of the committee are dis- posed to do anything in their power to bring about a match. It is said by several that the lines for the new boat have already been prepared and that just as soon as Dunraven receives word that his challenge will de accepted he will give the order to Watson to go ahead and build it, LIKELY TO BE A ‘‘HERRESHOFF.’’ Gen. Paine will not say whether he will build to meet the English boat or not, and the question of the change of the Volanteer vack into a sloop has not been considered. It is the impression of several that the idea Du- raven will send over a ‘‘70-footer’’ 1s all wrong and that he is going to build a boat which will be about 85 feet on the load water line. Inthatcaseit is extremely probable that the boat now being built by Herreshoff will be used to defend the cup, and that even if the 2 per cent clause asked for by Dun- raven is not granted he will find that the boat to meet him will vary but littie from the sizeof his own. There ts a general impres- sion that the new boat of Royal Phelps Car- rolls will be as much faster than anything which is now afloat as the Glorianna was faster than the Burgess boats, and several declare that the Volunteer will be outbullt by Herreshof with the new eighty-four footer.“ TURKEY-DAY. FOOT-BALL. Now that Yale and Princeton have settled on the Manhattan field on which they rush, punt and break bones while thelr good neighbors are giving thanks, foot- ball Slipped up another notch. The weeding-out system continues, and the work of the leading teams is closely observed. Yale is showing Improvement in her rush line, and another feature is the marvelous quickness of the tackles as they run wi the ball. lhe Yale tacklers have been taught to waste no time from the instant the ballis sent back by the center rush. They take the ball from the hands of the quarter-back on the dead run, and turning sharply plunge with seemin g recklessneSs into the line. Harvard is meeting with success in her ef- forts to establish asystem of team play. In- dividually her men are stronger than Tale 's. When they come to play the Chicago Athietic Association next Wednesday it will be neces- sary to play their strongest. men, and do thelr best work, for the Chicago boys will spread themselves on Jarvis neid. This game will give a good ‘‘line’’ on Harvard’s chances, PRiINCETONIAN PREDICTIONS. Phil King continues to infuse life into the | Princeton men.

THANKSGIVING DAY PAPER CHASE—THE AMA- TEUR QUESTION—€YCLING CHAT. In compliance with a call sent out last week the captains or the South Side and Pas- time Bicycle Clubs helda meeting last Thurs- day night at which it was decided to give a cycle paper chase on Thanksgiving Day under the auspices of these two organiza- tions. All unattached wheelmen are invited to participate. The foltowing conditions to govern the sport were adopted: The hares will cut loose promptly at 9ga. m. One pack of hounds will follow at 9:05, another at 9:08 and another at 9:12. The desti- than ever before it 18 pries hung up for come nation will be Woodlawn Grove, on the | Cony tom road, where the hares must stop. The leading hare reaching this des- tination without being fairly captured wil receive a prize. The hound fairly capturing | the leading hare before he reaches the desti- nation will receive the prize in lieu of the hare. Ihe route will not be less than ten nor more than fifteen miles in length. The hares may run by roads, paths and across unfenced felds, but are not allowed to cross fences nor bridgeless streams. The hares must plainly mark their route with paper, as follows: When approaching a read or path | where itis not intended to turn paper must be dropped as a warning, and when makin the turn pape: must be dropped aroun the turn to show the direction taken. Where commons or unfenced fields are crossed, a continuous line of paper is to be dropped. Any fatlure of a hareto plainly mark his route inthe manner directed, will cause him to forfelt the prize, even if he keeps Clear of the hounds, Hounds must fol- low the trailor they will be disqualified, The start will be made trom the Blair monument in Forest Park, and all intending partici- pants must be on tie ground not later than 8:45 a. m., so that each rider may be placed in his proper Classs. Should the roads be vad the route will be confined to the gravel roads of the park and the Clayton road. Another meeting will be held during the week, at whichthe hares, starter and other officers will be appointed, and all arrangements made to insure making the affair a big suc- cess. THE AMATEUR QUESTION. That hardy criminal, Voe amateur ques- tion, is once more tue topic of the hour, and some big developments are to bs looked for from yesterday’s meeting of the L. A. W. Racing Board at Chicago. The ery of many racing men Who are genuine amateurs in spirit, and would giadly figure on the path if they were not completely outclassed, is that their means are comparativel limited, and that they can not hope 0 train, Or travel, or ride such excellent ma- chines as other men do who have the backing of either one of the large 3 clubs or the makers of the bicycle. The past season has seen some flagrant vio s of the *‘exXpenses paid’’ rule, and the represen- tatives of the vaiious manufacturers were daily seen in attendance of the more ment racing men.

YCLING H. A. Canfield ts now * — as captain of the Pastimes. Elmer E. Pratt of Chieago wasa visitor at the agencies last week. Blanks for the aanual election of the Mis- sourl Division, L. A. W., are out, and no member should fail to vote. The recent rains have left the macadam and telfora streets ina frightful condition and effectually stopped riding, The last half of the L. A. W. year start Nov. 1, and applications for membershi will now be received when accompanied by There seems to be a growing demand for more asphaltum pavement in St. Louis and, if this is heeded and brick paving is also . it would lead to a big boom in cy- cling Runs to-day: South Side Cycle Club to Mattis P.

Upmeyer known the nne condition of the roads, the run could have been easily extended to W Aterloo, which has to date not been visited by any cycling club, The long wheel base is responsible for the recumbent position assumed by a great many wheelmen when riding. It is all right and proper for the race tracks, but such a position is anything but graceful on the roads or streets, Philadelphia wheelmen have adopted anew cap. This headcovering is an exaggerated copy of the long peaked cap worn by jockeys. A rider wearing one of these monstrosities and bending over his wheel looks for ali the world like a gignatic crow eating corn, says Sporting Life. The Entertainment Committee of the South Sides have about decided to give the first of a series of winter entertainments at their club rooms early in November. It will be a musical, and some ofthe best amateurs will be present. Missouri had three applicants forL. A. W. membership last week, of which one each was from De Soto and Kansas ( ity and Oscar W. Burg of St. Louis. The Division now has 615 Members, an increase of 153 over the same time last year. Some people are waiting until next spring before purchasing a wheel with the expecta- tion of getting them cheaper, and are thus losing the best part ofthe season. It would not be asurprise if afew minor improve- ments would raise the price of wheels instead of bringing them down. Last Sunday a wheelman endeavored to borrowa pump from a crowa of thirteen cyclists who were returning from Columbia, and was astonished to find that only one man in the party carried this almost indls- pensable instrument, all declaring that it was too heavy to bother with. This illus- trates the iight-wheel craze, and shows that — 5 anti- weight cyclist is close to a fool very often. Two brothers Green, A. and but one wheel, andtrairedon it. At Jack- sonvile A. won two firsts and O. C. two seconds and one first prize, and now they have wheels tolet. They are members of the Chicago Bicycle Club and will soon be a power on the team. The South Side Cycle Club now has thirty- seven membersand atthe November meet- ing the membDership will be brought up almost to the Umit, whichisfifty. Tuesday has been designated as run — — Thursday as musical night and Saturday as social night. In ease it should rain to-day; all the members are requested to be at the club- house at 2 p. m. to take part in a club walk. New York claims to have 40,000 cyclists. There is every indication that this is largely under the actual number. These 40,000 wheels cost originally $5,000,000, the stocks on hand and investments in mannu- facturingin the city are given at $1,000,000 more, making the total investment ‘for bicycles in New York alone $6,000,000, On an average there ts one bicyclé to every fort- two and a half persons. In St. Louis the riding population shrinks into oblivion in comparison. The closest estimate makes the local riding population about eighteen hun- dred, and a census 1s being taken to arrive at he correct figures. All wheelmen are re- quested to send their names and addresses ona postal addressed to Robert Holm, 908 La Salle street. BOW LING O.

This 18 why a visit to the two party boiler-rooms, is especially interesting this week. Thus far the Democratic headquarters have had the advantage, if appearances may be reliea upon as an indication of the spirit of the party workers. There has been a cheer- Mfalmess and vigor in the very atmospbere there that was noticeably lacking among the Republicans.

A deputation from the Young Men's Demo- cratic Inpependent Club, which was organ- ized in 1884 and is incorporated. called at headquarters to assure the National Com- mittee ofthe club’s support. In the delega- tion were George A. Just, Chairman of the Campaign Committee of Fifteen; Morris Mayer, Philip J. McKinley, Lawyer William J. Keese and Benjamin F. Mayer, ‘the deputation enrolled their club in the State League of Democratic ciubs and will send delegates to next week’s convention. Ihe club has oer three hundred members and a permanent home at No. 16 East Fifty-ninth street. Mr. Cleveland was entertained at the club house in 1888, Senator Hill has also been a visitor. Oswald Ottendorfer was a late visitor yes- terday. Joseph J.

Mr. Trautman, who was Chairman of the German Manufacturers’ Committee in the campaign of 1888, reports that 200 German manufacturers will organize in the interest of Harrison and Reid, elect officers to carry on the campaign, as was done four years axe, and set iorth their views ina publle ad- ress. One of the interesting visitors was Gen. Ankeny,a reminder of the old days when Republicanism had something to fight for. Heretofore he has always taken an active partin the presidential campaigns, but he said yesterday, exaggerating his Hoosier ac- cent for the joke of it, that he was ‘‘jusc laying around loose. He can tell stories ok the war that are mighty interesting. Among the visitors also was Mr. Fitzwil- liam of Boston, who runs a paper called Fair Play, Which is very strong for protection and muen opposed to England, as a bold, bad and utterly unscrupulous nation. Mr. Fits. william’s paper ot recent date, had a very fine poem about the return of Mr. Blaine to this country. It is a good poem, but the rhythm wobbles from time to time, likea chair one of whose legs is shorter than the others. Another visitor was Mr. ‘‘Alphabetical’’ Pitkin, Minister to Argentine.

He was here, it is said, to get the National Committee to pull Mr. Blatr off the track. Mr, Blairmay be offered a Federal appointment if he consents to withdraw, The Portsmouth Chronicle, the leading Republican paper of New Hampshire, has bolted Blalr's nomination. Ihe latter is said to be deter- mined to run and has declined ail overtures for a compromise. And sothe stream of politicians and poli- ticai workers, the laying of plots and coun- ter-plots, the conferences of leaders, go on at both headquarters. It is a game, a great, big national game, in which national party supremacy is tue issue at stage.

WasnrxoTor, D. C., Oct. 22.—The troubles of Count Mitkiewicz, Tsul Kwo Yin, the Chi- nese Minister to the United states and his at- taches may yet grow into international im- portance, The charge against the Count, made by New York parties who claim that large sums of money were obtained from them under false pretenses, has been the subject of Grand-jury investigation. But that body adjourned without bringing in an indictment,and it is understood that the case will be taken to an open court for prelim- inary examination after the return of- Col, Elliott Shepard from Chicago next week. The Colonel is regarded as one of the most important witnesses because of the way his name has been _ rightful- ly or wrongfully exploited by the olly-tongued Count. While all this is trans- piring the Chinese Minister here isin a peck of trouble because of the way his name !s linkedin the shady transactions of which Mitkiewicz stands accused. The charge, which, however, lacks proof, is made that the Minister has been a party to the scheme by which sums of money have been obtained’ under the pretense of furthering the Chinese concessions scheme of Count Mitkiewicz, | while in reality the money was diverted to other purposes. The plan evolvea by Mit- kiewicg and to which he made several prom- ment American capitalists converts, is bold and original and worthy of a scheme of dh age, It was in brief, to take, by royal grant, full control of the finances, coinage and banking privileges, as well as the raliroads, telegraph and telephone systems of the Chinese Empire.

SOME OF THE QUEER ANIMALS IN THE NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL GARDEN. Special Correspondence SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH. NEW York, Oct. 19.—Jim, the tapir, at the Central Park Menagerie, was moved on Thursday last into winter quarters, This tapir is an exceedingly sleek, well-grown animal, although stilla youth. He has dis- tinguished himself above all tapirs that ever lived in the menagerie for the agreeableness of his manners and the placidity of his dis- position, The tapir, who is not very common in menageries, has some ofthe physical char- acteristics of the elephant, the hog and the horse, Often he is called the water elephant. He hasa nose which suggests to the most casual observer that it is anelephant’s trunk cut short. He has also the sieekness of the hog in his outlines and the beginning of a * DO YOU SEE CLEARLY?

Smith is base enough to doubt the strength of Caliph’s paternal affection, and Will not yet allow him to enjoy freely the society of his daughter. Someday, however, there will be a great family reunion. An extraordinary birth has taken place at the menagerie this week. A fallow — tas deen added to the collection. Deer are al- ways born in June and July; this is the first case heard or at the menagerie of one born as late as this. What is perhaps more curious is that the young one is growing so rapidly that by Christmas time it will be about as largo as those born at the customary time of year. There are interesting animals in New York outside those at the menagerie. Among them are eight axolotis which arrived tu town this week. Two of them have been purchased for the entertainment of the stu- Gents at Columbia College. They are white members of the species, and the scientific name of the variety is amblystoma axolotl alba. Their color is nearly that of ivory, and they are about eight feet long. The axolotl, which isa native of Mextco, is a sort of permanent tadpole. Curiously New York added to this,and the energetic pushing of the campaign in the West also had marked effect. In addition, the rooms of the Mational Democracy are always crowded with visitors, and the visitors are well- posted Democrats, who believe that the next President of these United States will be @ Democrat. Consequently the head- quarters are vital with the air of victory,and cream-colored silk, each stripe powdered with dark purple violets. The waist of the gown is in the Eton jacket pattern. There is an over-drapery of white Valenciennes lace. Soft, creamy mull forms a kerchief about the neck and violet ribbons reach to the bottom of the gown. The full elbow sleeve has a. frillied cap of the lace at the shoulder and 18 finished with a deep frill of the same lace. mane on his neck. lie has teeth like an ele- phant and cloven hoofs. Altogether he is worthy of close attention, and our friend Jim at the menagerle offers very favorable oppor- tunities for inspection. Although not ofa ferocious disposition the ordinary tapiris not docile. For one thing he is extremely nervous and disposed to bolt As he 1s heavily even the untiring clatter of typewriters and click of telégraph keys seem to be set to the time ofa triumphal march. In strong con- trast tothis aspect ofaffairs in the Demo- cratic headquarters was the apparent apathy and certainly unmistakeable dulness that prevailed inthe Republican stronghold until Matt Quay came more to the front as the boss stoker. Up to that significant change, cold- hess wasthe most marked characteristic of the G. O. P. steam-raisers, and at one time it almost seemed as though the Harrison ice-wagon had dumped its contents into N Mr. Sheerin. oa party boilers, and thus dispelled Repub- Can steam until it changed into gchilly moisture that hung about the rooms and made the cold shivers run down the backs of All observant Republicans. But when news came that Quay was really at work ‘‘frying Hut fat’’ in the old accustomed way so neces- gary to the success of the party of great moral ideas,’’ things looked up a bit, and the Republican headquarters grew warmer. The trail of the ice-wagon melted away under the heat of the fat-frying fire. Hospitality begins right at the very doors ofthe Democraticrooms. Sergeant-at- Arms James Oliver plays no favorites at No. 130 Fifth avenue, and the messenger boy gets the same treatment as a United States Senator.

He has just returned from a Western trip and he remarked that he would like to place $500 against $1,000 that the Demo- cracy would be victorious in Iilinols this year. One of the most r isitors was Gen. Samuel F. Carey of Ohi6, who atthe extreme age of 79 years is one of the most vigorous and effective campaign orators on the stump. He was a schoolmate of Benja- min Harrison’s father. Gen. Charles W. Biair of Leavenworth, the Kansas member of the National Com- mittee, and Col. W. C. Jones of lola, Chair- man of the State Committee. represented Kansas at headquarters yesterday. Col Jones is a short, slight man with a round faceas innocent of hair as is his bald pate. Gen. Blair is much his senior. He can re- member the time, ago, when he was the only Democrat in Kansas. He used to elect himself to membership in the National Committee year after year. Now he hasa arty behind him to do this. The National Eommittes is reiying on these two men to de- feat Harrison in Kansas this year, and the two leaders said yesterday that they would fulfil the contract. Chairman UHarrity, Don M. Dickinson, William C. Whitney and Senator Gorman of the Campaign Committee have had along conference, at which, itis said, the question rather chary of expressing Opinions on this subject.

Here is here MitKlewtcz’s ability as a diplomat was The English had got wind of the concession scheme ana British gold was not wanting to try to prevent American mer- chants from getting a foothold in China on terms which were lied with such gorgeous possibilities. Nevertheless, Count Mitsle- wicz euchred them at every point in China. Armed with a secret letter of instructions from the Minitsteras to how to proceed, whom to bribe, etc., he worked his way after several weeks into the very presence of Li Hung Chang himself. With the exception of Gen. Grant who was accorded that distinc- tion when he was in China on his trip around the worid, no other American (ifthe Count can be called an American) and but one or too the European dignitaries have ever looked uponthe face ofthe man who is ae facto the ruler of the greatest empire in the world. ‘the Count’s mission was suc- cessful. The papers were drawn up and Li Hung Chang sent back with Mitkle- wicz a special ambassador with the un- derstanding that it his report was favorable the documents would be formally signed. When he reached tnis country the Connt found the newspapers full of scandalous storles about his past, charging him with being a bogus Count, an adventurer and swindler. It was even said that the Chinese ambassador, whom the Count brought with him, was a Chinese cook Whom Mitkilewtcz had dressed up as a mandarin to carry on his deceptlon. The result was the whole thing fell through. The ‘*promoters’’ were left in the lurch, and then came the Charge of swiad- ling, : Count Mitktewicz has labored unceasingly since he obtained concessions for railroads and other great improvements in China to re- tain his right to those concessions and to makethemof practical use. He has bor- rowed money and enlisted capital in many quarters. He does not deny that. He main- tains that all of his transactions have been straightforward and disinterested, but he admits that it takes money toaccompilsh re- suits in China as well as inany other country. The present Minister from China to the United States, he maintains, is not only a friend of himself and of the great enterprises which be represents, but so, too, were his two predecessors by the instruction of their government. Those who surrqund the Minister are act ing, he believes, in*tiio interest of England, whether directly fr English pay or from natural sympathy he cannot in each individ- ual case determine. He maintains, however, that enormous interests are at stake for England and English merchants, and that they could weil afford todraw upon the great secret service fund atthe command of the Indian Government to Keep foreign infiuence and enterprises out of China, Afghanistan and other Asiatic countries. He says that the present Minister from O.ina tothe Unitea States was purposely Chosen by the present Prime Minister, Li Hung Chang, to get rid of the British influence which prevails in the Canton province. Former Ministers, he says, and nearly all the present attaches of the Legation here, are from the Northern provinces, thoroughly infected with british ideas. The Chinese Minister here, in spite of his sympathy with Count Mitkiewicz, seems to be comparatively helpless in his legation be cause nearly every one around him ts in sym- athy with the other side. This is particu- arly the case with Mr. Ho, the interpreter of the Legation, who has been here during the terms of several Ministers and seems to be the only man who is thoroughly ae- quainted with Chinese politles at home and Chinese relations here. Itis because of this knowledge that the Minister, according to some of his friends, cannot afford to throw him overvoard, much as he would like to. It is charged that Mr. Hohas had much todo with helping the present prosecution against the Count. The Minister makes public the fact that he has just been informed of his reappointment as American ambassador fora new term of three years in recagnition of his success in maintaining friendly relations between the two governments, ‘There is as yet no official verification of this .

In one corner of the birch bark a square plece should be cut out just the size of an or- dinary photograph. This is the place for the picture. It should be framed like the screen, only with smaller birch sticks. Ancther pretty idea for the screen picture- frame is to paint upon the birch bark forget- me-nots.

One of the most interesting of the new ycho- physiological instruments is the ple hysmograph, which indicates the least fow orb in the arteries of the arm.

Jim, for instance, weighs 300 pounds and will grow heavier. Another point of resem- blance which he bears tothe pig is hls capac- ity to furnish excellent roast meat. Being possibly aware of this fact, he does not covet the society of man, and animals more heavily armed than himself who might be seized with the desire to dine on him. He seeks solitude with a few of his kind on some part ofa river bank where the rushes grow thick. There he bathes frequently and enjoys him- self thoroughly. On the banks of the Ama- zon he finds many such pleasant dweiling places. In view of the frigid reserve maintained by most members ofthis family, Jim’s affa- ble bearing towards American citizens was quite surprising. It was, however, only a graceful recognition on his part of the kind ness showntohim by the city. This sum- mer, instead of being kept on a little gravel patch surrounded by wire work, he was lodged in tho tank formerly oc- cupled by the sea lions. Here he had plenty of watef to swim in and plenty of space within the railing surround- ing the tank. On hot days he would stay in the water for hours at a time. The tank moreover commands an excellent view of the yest of the menagerie and ofa pict- uresque part ofthe park. Few tapirs in cap- tivity have been so agreeably entertained. Jim, as has been said, acknowledged this treatment in a very becoming and unusual manner for a tapir. He went so far as to allow the keepers to handle his long nose, whichis one of his chief beantles. It might have even been expected that he would have f . 7 bei hate j Ts 72 7 + - AMS 4 Z,, — ae iy >” +j 5 1 — ty Nf a 4 / ke Cae 5 a> A. shits .

It was, of course, necessary to move him as soon as the recent change of weather set in, Keeper Philip Holmes, however, knowing the ways of tapirs, showed no fool- ish conildencein Jim. Three other keepers, Messrs. Maginnis, Snyder and Marron, were called into assist. Holmes held Jim’s neck witha rope, Marron grasped his ears, and Snyderand Maginnis took eacha hind leg. legs and grasped firmly. In this derogatory manner he was compelled to walk to his pad- dock. He protested vigorously, and but for the familiarity of the keepers with tapir na- ture would have escaped.

They stick to the plant because they are covered with a glutinous substance. Some of those axolotis bear their young The young axolotl looks like the tadpole a bit, but the tadpole always gets out his hind- legs first. But the axilotl gets his forelegs first. He generally gets his hindlegs the same season. The tadpole has outside gilis or brauchte at first, but he soon gets rid of them and adopts a smaller gill like the newt’s and then when he changesto a frog he gets a pair of lungs, but inszead of breathing through his mouth, he breathes through his skin. That is why a frog has to keep his skin moist if he wants tolive. When the axolotl changes the outside gill he gets a gilla good deal like that of a fish, The axolotl keeps its tadpole tall all throußu life. „What makes it so rare an animal is that it hides itself in the mud ard cannot be caught except bya hook without a barb, something like the pin-hook we used to fish with when we were boys. They grow to be ten inches long sometimes—at least, the brown ones do.’’ The reptiles whose pictures are is ee have recently been entertaining the readers of German newspapers. The brevicéps mos- sambicus dwells on the island of Mozambique and is much sought after by the natives on account of its entertaining manners. The breviceps looks like a bladder at first sight, but has very bright and pretty eyes, which relieve its general appearance, it grows ta be about ten inches long and is supplied with spurs on its heels to dig for worms. The great-headed turtle ts an animal in which we shall find a resemblance to some of our eminent men. There is no other known anima) in which the head is so dis tlonately large. It is about fifteen inches long, one-third being neck and seven inches tall. Its shell is broad and flat. The great head is found in the rivers of Southeastern Asia. The spider shown here Is a tarantula from Trinidad, which eats birds. Its appearance is exciting considerable curiosity in London | at present. Twoof these tarantulas are on exhibition at the Zoological there, They have been found partial to young spar- rows in the absence of humming birds, which form their favorite food, The humming which goes to despoil the tarantula of a hard-earned beetles and moth, as we are the humming bird does, is foolish.

CuicaGo, Oct. 22.—The University of Ohi- cago is to havea great telescope, It will be duilt at the expense of Mr. Chas. T. Yerkes, the street car magnate. The size of the instrument was left tothe discretion of a committee of astronomers ap- pointed by the University. They have de- termined thatthe greattube shall be forty- five inches in diameter. This doesn’t seem to be very large compared to the great telescope of Lord Rosse. Thetube of that instrument is six feet in diameter and nearly sixty feet in length. But in this case bulk does not count to any great extent. Lord Rosse’s telescope is a refiector, and the new instru- ment will be a refractor. In the Rosse telescope, bulk is an impor- tant factor, but the operation of buliding it, while a monumentel task, is child’s play compared with the task before the maker of the Chicago instrument. The _ reflecting mirror in the Rosse telescope las an aperture of six feet, and its weight is close on four tons. It required twelve years of unremitted toil to complete it. Although the reflecting mirror was of such tremendous bulk, it was so sensitive that a rough pressure of the hand would have ruined it. Then, ifit were a hundred thousandth part of an inch out of true the image would have ap- peared disturbed and the speculum of no worth. But when one understands that the labor and delicacy of making the object giass of a forty-five-inch refracting. telescope is four-fold greater than that involved in mak ing an instrument as large as Lord Rosse’s, the task ofthe Chicago constructors is clear. The object glassor lens of the Lick tele- scope, the most powerful instrument inthe world, is 46 inches. Seven years were con- sumed in making it, and at one time its con- struction stood on the brink of fallure. The original contract called for its delivery Nov. 1, 1883, but it was four years later before the Mammoth glass was put in place. Alvan Clark & Sons of Cambridgeport, Mass., who made the lens, have the contract to finish the object glass of the Chicago telescope. They are the best manufacturers of lenses that the world has, but they thought twice before accepting the Chicago contract. The making ofan object glass of this required size is one that requires thought. The Lick lens is nine inches smaller than the Yerkes telescope, but the difficulties in making it were greater than any feat ever attempted. The construction of the Chicago glass is, of course, a possibility, Dut Its success is ina “reat measure a matter of chance. From the time when the molten glass is poured into the mold until it ig finally in position there are a thousand and one minute things that may make it absolutely worthless. The first thing required is glass of abso- lutely perfect quality. The only factory in the world that is capable of turning out such a glass is that of Pileis in Paris, There is some doubt whether they ever can do it. The making of the Lick glass caused one branch of the firm to fail, and it was only when the force of two great factories united that the work was completed. Trial after trial was made and at one time astronomers gave up hope. Pfiels possesses the most fur- nished works and methods for making glass discs of acceptable quality, but even then they admit that success was attained at the end of five years only by chance. The manufacture of the rough disc is only the commencement of the work. When itis ready for polishing the real difficulty begins, and it is then that minute tests are imposed, which five times out of eight result in the re- jection of the glass. The object glass of atele- scope consists of two separate discs annealed together. One is a flint and the other of crown glass. The combination of thetwo by their refracting power corrects chromatic errors. In eachof thesethere must be absolute uniformity in reiative dimension, and their fusion frequently ruins them. When they aie annealed together and roughly polished the discs are laid ona sheetof paper, and theiramount of colorcompared by the as- pect of the paper, as seen through the glass, and as seen directly. In order that an object- glass should be ofthe greatest power there must be little color; and although the Piels may cast a glass of the required dimension, it is doubtful, astronomers say, if it will be colorless enough to be more powerful than a smaller glass. Ihe test for color also brings out any biemishes of specks, air bub- bles and the like, that may have escaped former tesis. The amount ot light exciuded by such defects is small, perhaps, but tuese blemisues crvate What are known as diffrac- tion phenomena and scattered light in the nelid, and in a large lens they may not be discovered until it is nearly completed. Ihen the glass becomes wortuless. If ihe glass passes the test for quality itis again subjected to another process tnatis even more delicate. The machinery is sim- pie; itis not a secret, but the patience and keen vision required make few men fit for the work. ‘ihere are no instruments that can make a great lens mecianically, and everything is done by the eye. 0 Havi:.g stood all tests, the annealed dtses enter the Initial process of completion. ‘This involves an intricate mathematical p:oblem that determines the curve of the glass. The dimension of the lensand the length of the fucus are given in the order, and to these figures the curve must conform. That calcu- lation is all easy enough. The difficulty lies in making the curve on the glass. In the Lick lens the labor was wonderful, and, de- Spite the skillof Mr. Clark, almost. bey ond his power. And when he begins on the 45- inch curve there will be a task before him such as no other single man has attempted. Ir he succeeds, say those conversant with the sub- ject, it will be the mechanical wonder of the age. When all is prepared for the commence- ment of the work, two fron discs—a concave casting for the convex side and a convex casting ior the concave side are cast to tit the lens. Ihe iron molds are ‘‘trued’’ on @ lathe and the glass disc is then laid between them and revoived. Every turn of the lathe is watched. Powdered steel is poured be- tween the glass and fron. This roughly shapes the lens. When this operation is finished eight different grades of emery ,from a coarse grain to an almost impalpabie dust, is applied, and the glass is brought Into ap- proxiimately tinal form. it is here tiat anything like coarse mechan- icallabor ceases, Fine measuiements are made of the lens, and if tue glass has not been chipped in this stave of manuiacture, it is subjected to a minute measurement, Mr. (lark uses for this operation an instru- ment that looks as if it was turned out with a jac. knife. it is capable, however, of measuring infinitesimal space, that the ordinary mind would consider tirrelative. But in the whole process of making a line, thisisthe only actual measurement made. The hum an eye, and one that has been fitied for the work vy years of practice, is the only: instrument that can make the other delicate measurements required, When the object giass has left the guiding lathe it goes intothe polishing-room, and it is there that the late of the lens is decided. The rough disc is laid on a frame and with beeswax and range tue polisher begins a task that may take him yeais to complete. ‘here are no tools used in this operation. workman does everything with his „ and when the work nears cuimpletion he may use ata handsome | 7 8 bh Chicago Hopes ) re- „8 U N the glass, and the most absolute care Is quired to prevent a fise in temperature. This can be se when it is understood that a single touch of the finger will cause a welt that is perfectly perceptible to the polisher’s eye. At frequent intervals during this soft rub. bing with the hand the lens is tested, It placed in a long, dark room, and is set up- right in the middie of the rayless tunnel. ‘to .| this room a single point of Hght is admitted, and at the exact place where the focus must be an eyepiece is placed.

In making a lens of dlameter equal to that of the Lick telescope showed to the manu- facturer of object glasses the difficulties and apparently tmpassabie obstacies in the way of making a larger one. When the Lick telescope was completed, astronomers sald that with the present appliances nu larger glass would be made and, as substan- tiation, pointed to Pnels’ narrow escape from fa.lure. the didiculiies in making a larger and heavier glass would grow in progression with iis size and the 45-inch lens, they claim, if it is made, will take years to finish, Some of the difficulties may De summed up: If a glass disc is not properly covled—tiat is, if the outer shell coolg before the interior of the mass it wiil be ina siate of tension and liable to fly to pieces at the slightest touch. kven if the glass cools slowly one side 18 likely to be of different temperature.

FURTHER FACTS IN THE DISAPPEAR- ANCE OF THE WEALTHY PROMOTER, There Was an Accident Policy of $5,000 on His Life and He U-accountebiy Disappeared From a Fall River Boat on the Way to New York—Theories Advanced by the Police. New York, Oct. 22.— What was at first re- garded asa plausible theory explaining the mysterious disappearance of wealthy Otis Greye has ripened into whatmay develop into a remarkable crime. He boarded the Fall River boat Pilgrim on Saturday afternoon, Oct. 8, was shown to his Stateroom and was not seen axain. The fact was not made public untli Sunday morning. Greye was engaged in promoting several big schemes, at least two of which were to come toa head on Oct. 11. He claimed to represent syndicates for the purchase of tobacco lands, phosphate lands, lumber lands, stock yards and gold mines. He promised to pay 860, 000 on Oct. 11 to Charles S. Phiilips,a tobacco merchant at No, 188 Pearl street, on some tobacco and phosphate lands that Mr. Phillips said he owned in Florida, He had promised to pro- duce $500,000 on the same day for the pur- chase of North Carolina lumber lands from a company represented by Austin P. Pressin- ger, a lawyer in the Trinity Buliding. About the same time he was to purchase for a syn- dicate a gold mine in Nova Scotia and stockyards at Three Rivers, Canada. Charles S. Phillips of No. 188 Pearl street said he met Greye in 1890. In November of that year Mr. Phillips says Greye contracted with him to raise $200,000 on some land Phil- lips had in Florida, for which Greye was to receive 442 percent. Phillips says he bought the land three yearsago, paying part cash and giving his notes for the balance of the purchase money. Col. D. H. Elliott of the Southern Express Co., who owns the lands, declares that Phillips never bought them. He offered to buy them for $45,000, but did not close the transaction. Some time after that Col. Henry II. Finley, a lawyer, and Otis Greye called on Col. Elliott at different times, each claiming to representa syndicate that wanted to purchase the land. Col. Elliott notified Phillips and told him that if he paid $47,000 by Oct. 1, he could have the property. An extension of time was granted and the money was tobe paid on Oct. 11. Col, Elilott said yesterday: „Phillips telegraphed me that the money would be paid at lampa, Fla., but I insisted that it should be paid here in New York. I then gave him until Oct. ll, and placed the deedsin the American Exchange National Bank. 1 thought Finley and Greye were Agents of a syndicate that I understood had av reed to advance Phillips $50,000 on the land in consideration of a mortgage 01 860, 000. Mr. Ph lips said toa reporter: II oven the lands and have the deeds in my safe. Greye was to raise $200,000 on the lands and he was to pay 860.000 on Oct. 11.“ What did Finley have to do with it?’’ Mr. Phillips was asked, „Nothing. I don’t kno Finley. The contradictory statements of Phillips and Col. Elliott look very strange, but the case is Made stranger still by the statement of supt. Byrnes and Inspector MeLaughiin, Aina Chisf ot Detectives, who say that Phillips told thema year ago that he had been introduced to Col. Finley and Otis Greye, and he wanted to Know something about them, hen Greye left the Park Avenue Hotel, where he was staying, on Oct. 8, he wore a light gray sult of clothes. When he was last seen on tie Pilgrim at 4:30 o’clock he had it on, Those clothes were not found among his effectS In stuteroom No. 35. If he walked overboard in hie sleep he must have gone to bed with his clothes on. Only $38.17 were found in an old vest pocket. The $1,800 and a small saichel Col, Granam says he lansed the missing man were not found. Nooneon the boat saw him after he went to his state- room, Now it seems that in the latter part of September Col. Finley called atthe office of the Fedility and Casualty Co., at Nos. 140- 146 broadway, and said that he wanted to take out an accident insurance policy on Otis Greye, whoowed him some money. On » onday, Oct. 8, Finley sent an application tothe company fora $5,000 accident policy in the name of Otis Greye. Finley said he was down south. Tue policy was made pay- able to i. H. Finley, and was accepted by the company. Ihen on Oct. 14 Finley sent a messenger to the company to inform them that Greye was drowned from the l ilgrim on the night of Oct. 8. Ihat was before the story was published in the newspapers. As- Sistant Manager Edward Griffiths sent word to Finley that the policy would be paid if sufficient proof of Greye’s death was made. That night Col. Graiiam went around to the newspaper offices to tell the story of Greye’s disappearance. Col. Finley hasn’t made any other demand for the 55,000 Insurance. Inspector McLaughlin says that Greye Is an assumed name and that’ the missing man’s right namets Phillips. Hisfirst wife got a divorce from himand the custody of their child and he married a second time, but was not living with nis wife lately. He formeriy resided in Washington, D. C. Mr. Phillips told a reporter yesterday that Greye once informed him that Mrs. Greye and their ilttle daughter both died suddenly and atthe same time. Greye was enga ed to be married toa member of a prominent Brooklyn tamily, bu Mr. Phillips thought that the engagement had been broken re- cently. Greye never mentioned the names of the members of his syndicates. The develop- ments yesterday indicaie that Greye and Finley represented themselves as represen- tatives of syndicates, and whenever one of them negotiated with property owners he would insist upon the other acting asan expert appraiser of the property.

Hereafter All Trains of Over Twenty-One Cars on the Arkansas Division Will Have Three Brakemen— A Suspended Conductor Reinstated—The Old Relia- le Conductors to Hold a Convention. The conference between the Grievance Committee of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen and Col.

The pack was not 100 yards behind. Hodo, a graceful red dog, passed like the wind, yelp- ing at every bound, skimming over the earth. A dozen others followed but a few feet behind.

I bave learned some interesting particulars concerning the musical child-prodigies of the world. It seems that in that branch of art the infant phenomenon more frequently at- tains to eminence in his or her mature years than inany other. The child-violinists, for instance, such as Paul Julien, Teresina Tua and others, almost invariably grow up ac- complished artists. Amongst the composers the case of Mozart, who wos probably the most marvelous of all these precocious won- ders, will at once recur to mind, as well as Lulit, Beethoven, and others of less distinct- tion. The latest stignalized instance of this kind- which is pecullarly interesting because it oc- curred in our own days, is that of M. Pala- dilhe, the composer of the opera ‘‘Patrie,’’ and now a member of the musical division of the Academy of Beaux Arts. So long ago as 1881 a special report concerning his very extraordinary facultlos was presented to the Academy of Literature and Sclence. He was was then 7 yvearsold and lived with his father, who was a physician, at Montpellier. I cannot imagine, however.thai little Mignon will ever develop into an operatic composer. A female Mozart or Magner or even a femi- nine Bellini or Donizetti, has never zet been revealed to the world. ladhere, therefore, to my first prediction, whichis that the gift- ed child in question is destined to become one duy a great prima donna. ibe Odd part about the child- prodigies of the dramatic boards is that they never seem tn fulGllin their later years the promise of their childhood. 1 have seen some haif a dozen at least of wonderful little xirl- actresses during the period of my stay in Paris, and not in one single instance has one of them made a success in her early woman- hood on the stage. Mim. Cellne Montaiand was, it is true, an infant phenomenon at the commencement of her extraordinary profes- sional career, which began at the Palais Royal, wascontinned at the Gymnase, was developed in opera-bouffe, and finelly lande her on the board of the Comedie Francaise. * Marshal.

New Tonk, Oct. 22.—A highly sensational and mysterious story came to light yesterday through the medium ofa petition fora writ} of habeas corpus before Judge Patterson in Supreme Court chambers, whereina young mother asks for the delivery to her of her 2-months-old baby boy, who is held from her by strangers. The young mother, who wants her baby returned to her, is Miss Eleanor Doughty, a remarkably pretty girl of 21 years, who lives with her twin sister and mother at No. 228 West Seventeenth street. In her petition fora writ which was presented through ber counsel, Van Buren Denslow, she says that her baby boy is detained by Mrs. May Brad- ford of No. 181 West Sixty-third street, aided by S. 8. Vreeland and Drs. Mortimer W. Shaw and John V. Sweeney of No. 147 Greenwich street. Mr. Vreeland, who is an advertising agent, with offices at No. 150 Nassau street, and residence at Thompkinsville, S. I., is sworn to in the petition to be the putative father of the baby. Through him Miss Doughty swears the two doctors persuaded her directly after the birth of the child that the baby would die ifit was not taken from her and cared for elsewhere and that an effort was made on the partof the physicians to have the mother legally sign away rightsto her baby. This she refused to do, she says, but did give permission under pressure for its removal from her. Since then, the petition states, the young mother has become pos- sessed of facts which lead her to believe that the child’s life isin jeopardy. She states that Vreeland, who, she says, is its father, has informed her of his feelings concerning the little baby. freely, coarsely and brutaliy, and in such other ways as have made her be- lieve that hostilities have been begun against the little fellow’s future welfare. All con- nected with the peculiar case maintain con- siderabie reticence inalluding toit, and it was only aftermuch persuasion that they were induced to speak. Lawyer Denslow told the following story: The mother of the baby is of an old and eminently respectable Georgia family who moved to New Jersey several yearsago and subsequentiy to thiscity. Among their ac- quaintances was Mr. Vreeland, a middle aged man, who had known the two caugh- ters from their infaney. He became especial- ly attached to Eleanor, who confided in him as in a father, About a year ago he took advantage of the pret- ty woman, 1 am informed, the outcome of which was the birth of the baby boy on Aug. 27. lam informed by the mother of the chiid that from the frst in- timation of the advent of the baby, Vreeldnd insisted that its mother should not care for it. Drs. Sweeney and Shaw were con- sulted and an agreement was entered into whereby the mother was deprived of the baby. What motive prompted Vreeland to do such a thing, or any further particulars concerning the case, I am not at liberty, nor do I feel disposed to make pyblic.’’ Miss Elea uor is a beautiful young woman of girlish appearance, with a pale face, dark eyes, red lips and a profusionof short, black hair which is careiessiy scattered in curly waves all over her pretty head. Miss May Bradford, who uow has the baby, lives on the fifth floor of an apartment house at No. 181 West Sixiy-third street. she was more communicative. She said that she had had possession of the child for six weeks, and that her husband had beheved it to be his own until last saturday. On that day she said its mother called and demanded pos- session of it and the facts were made known to her husband, since which time, she said, his sole object has been to get rid of it. This statement was borne out by Mr. Bradford. ‘*] was under treatment, she con- tinued, ‘‘by Dr. Sweeney, at No. 147 Greenwich street, and on a wist tohimimet Dr, Shaw. It was just subse- uenttothe birth of Miss Doughty’s baby. e asked me if I did not desire to adopt a baby. Iasked if it was a boy, and learning that it was, and ofa healthy mother, I con- cluded to adopt it. I did not make any in- quiry as toits paternity. I then told my hus- band that he had become a father and that his boy baby would be cared for for two weeks by the physiclans, at the end or which time | brought it home. I desire to get rid of it, but only through a legal process. Mr. Vreeland, who is an advertising agent, said to-day he had known the Doughtys for years. He denied that he was responsible for the birth of the child and said Mrs. Doughty was trying to bleed him. GREAT FisHING THERE. Sport Which Western Anglers Will Envy Their Fellows on the Coast. Special Correspondence SUNDAY PostT- DISPATCH. LonG Brancu, N. J., Oct. 2.—The striped bass season is now at its height, and if the prevailing fine weather continues it will last until Christmas. In fact the striped bass is always with us and although distinctively a salt water fish may be found in the Hudson as high upas Albany underthe ice in mid- winter. But they are not apt to take the bait after the hard cold weather setsin. Num- bers of them were caught in nets by breaking through theice in the Hudson before net- fishing was stopped In that river. Bottom Rig No. 1. Striped bass are found in varying abund- ance everywhere along our coast from Maine to Georgia and occasionally in the Gulf, but in greater numbers than anywhere else along the shores of Virginia and North Carolina. South of Barnegat it is generally called the rock fish. It frequently attains the size of sixty or seventy pounds, and occasionally specimens have been captured welghing a trifie over 100 pounds. The largest specimen recorded weighed 104 pounds, and was taken in a seine near Baltimore somewhere in the (03. The big fellowe as a rule are to found in the ocean, though individuals weighing 70 pounds have been caught in nets in the Hudson River as high up as Poughkeepsie, In the rivers and bays it is captured on the hook from a quarter of a pouud in weight up to thirty pounds.

The trolling rig is perhaps as good a rig as can be devised for trolling anywhere. Weighty sinkers are of course out of the question for this kind of Oshing, but in order to preven’ the bait from floating upon the surface of the water a few. buckshot are at- tached tothe line. The main object is to keep the bait about a foot below the surface. — nd or blood worms are generally used for alt. Trolling Rig. One ofthe accompanying Illustrations pre- sonts a favorite rig. The leaders are usually three feet long, and the sprout hook is pre- ferred above allothers. Tue kind of sinker shown is preferable toany other shape, be- cause it does not so easily catch in the rocky crevices that abound on the bottom. The Nos. 1 and 2 bottom rigs are employed where the current is not very strong and where the bottom is mud or sand. The No, 1 is the more generally use’, and the leaders may be either three or six feet in length, ac- cording to the fancy of the angler. The No.2 rig, which is also a favorite weakish rig, 0 1 A Favorite Bottom Rig. has been used by the writer with po ye success. The longer leader is 8 feet and the shorter from 2 to 2% feet. In both of these rigs the line is not made fast to the swivel, so that the leaders may have free play up and down. It is the movability of the leaders that gives advantage totbe rig, asthe striped bass is a fish that seldom takes a still bait. The striped bass generally takes the bait with a rush, that is to say he strikes instead of nibbling, but while the tsherman may frequently mistake the bite of another fish for his, he never remains long in doubt when one is hooked. The striped bass invariably runs after he has taken the Dait. He may run towards you, but generally it is from you. You must judge by his weight whether you can venture to check n! If he isa heavy fish you must lethim rum or he will either break everything to pieces or tear loose. The writer has had anew line to part Ike a gossamer thread by attempting to check a heavy fish. After the fish has run from 100 feet to 100 yards (the distance will depend on his size) he will make a turn at right angles with his original course. Then you must take inthe slack and gently turn dim to- ward you. Hewill come a short distanco without much resistance, but will speedily make another break straight away, and then you must let him go again. Ifhe be a big fellow he wll make half a dozen rushes away from you, but as s00n as he beging to get winded he will rise to the surface, 2 4 fin erect, the picture of genulne rage, an me Bey water viciously with his powerful tall. n’t imagine that his fighting is now over.

This fish will rarely takea still bait, and the angier who in still fishing keeps drawing his ling little by little towards him will catch fish, where an other who lets his bait lie quiet will never get a bite. 4 ARMY OF THE TENNESSES.

Lonpon, Oct. 21.—The junior partner in the great London banking house of the Rothschilds, which is run by the three brothers, Nathanlel Mayer, Alfred Charles and Leopold, is a sport as well as a financier. A sport as the term should be un- derstood when applied to an English gentle- man with millions at his command, but with the keenest interest in good horseflesh. The Duke of Westminster and the Duke of Portiand are the fairest samples of this British product. Baron Leopold de Roth- schild is another. He certainly has an ideal stable at his coun- try place, Ascot House, Leighton Buzzard, in Bucks. Like his brothers, ‘‘Nattie’’ and Alfred, Leo has a country house of more comfort and charm than pretension. Their town houses are princely and stored with collections of artistic beauty and rarity which make them veritable treasure houses. But Tring Park, Ascot House and the Hilton resi- dence, which are Nathaniel’s, Leopold’s and Alfred's respective villas, exhibita comfort and homely abundance of room rather than anything else. They all lie together, that is within a distance of a few miles of each other. Mentmore, where Lady Rosebery lived, who was Hannah Rothschild, is only a short distance from Ascot House, and its towers can be seen from Baron Leopold’s place. But the stud farm and the stables of Leo- pold de Rothschild are everything that could be desired in that line. English racers of fast horses go tn usually for breeding the same. It would be difficult to find in the United Kingdom so many fine hunters, hacks and carriage horses, as well as a choice amount of pure racing stock, as you will see in Leo- pold de Rothschiid's stables. For Leopold goes in for the whole thing, giving to every branch of his immense equine establisument the utmost care, and spares no expense to turn out the bestin each line that he can possibly get. He has a pair of carriage horse, superbly matched roans, whose equals are not to be found. The Baroness has a charming span of ponies, Dot and Spot. But the main feature of Leopoli’s stables are his racers and the breoding stud, from which he hopes to get Derby winners aud Newmarket fiyers. Most of his yearlings and young animals are descended from turee mares of excellent strain, Hippia, Coomassie and Parma, 5 The two prime stallions of the stud farm are Morglay and trag. They ara .great, raking creatures with splendid points. Leo- bend de Kothschiid won many a race some years azo with lirag. When he leftt for the paddock he seemed for the out of} memory as well as sight.

Foals and yearlings rise up and call him great. Look atthe bonny brood mare, Fiddler's Wife, with her Blair Athol strain strongiy proven, nursing a stunning good brown colt by Brag. That strapping youngster has three strains of Queen Mary in his youthful biood, Brag also sired the wonderful bay colt foal which Koumiss dropped. Koumiss is a great favorite with her owner. Sue is daugh- ter of Maccaroni and Cormassu and a prime Uttle mare. Heredity was so strong in her fine son that he took to galloping as soon as he could use his slender legs. and he has such a strong passian for timing himself with an Improvised spirit that the grooms have to watch him and tame his vauiting ambition, Lastant mo, one of the fastest horses of his size, is also a son Of Koumiss. The galloping bay colt is larger than Lastantino, so it may be hoped that he will do even greater work with his legs. Another colt of promise, whocalis Brag his sire, is out of Aurata, a chestnut daughter of the famoug Bonk O01. America has secured this promising coit, as Mr. Belmont has bought her, and if the future glory of promise is to De followed by fruition, will be won on the American turf. Mr. Bel has also secured two out ot the twenty-seven brood mares which Leopold de Rothschilds num- bers in his stable. Eprightly, the beautifully bred daughter of Hampton and Lady Golightly has a Morg- lay colt which can also boast three crosses of Queen Mary. It is by building up astud ona sound basis that the sporting member ofthe Londen Rothchilds hopes to breed horses in the future which will surpass the me of those he has already bred. Good as Brag and Morgiay are as sires they are by no means exclusively patronized. Such brood mares as Nelile (daughter of Hip- pia by Hermit), Sprightly (daughter of Hampton and massie), Sister Loulse (daughter of Hermit and Hippia), Koumiss (Maccaroni—Coomassie).

NeEw Yorx, Oct. 12.—The American public. Nas gained very little satisfactory informa: tion in regard to the long distance race which has just been completed between Berlin and a he ride have been rather meager and most pt us have been left in as to what the Whole thing was about. At first sight it _* geemed as though a good deal of fuss was being made about nothing. On this side of _ the water we have had a surfeit of long dis- » . tamceracesof every description, and there dla not appear to be any particulr reason _. Why. the one between Berlin and Vienna ~ ghould have been so loudly heralded. It must be remembered, however, that differ, bunt conditions exist on different sides of the * ocean and that a great thing in one place must not necessarily bea great one in the bother. Undoubtedly if we could have had a race in this country governed by exactly the same conditions as those which prevailed abroad, we should also have beén duly excited, and os 5 the newspapers would have devoted long col- umns to full and accurate accounts of the oe Proceedings. Those who participated in the long ride in Europe were officers in the Ger- man and Austrian armies, and they were contending fora big prize, to say nothing ot several smaller prizes. This in itself lent an unusual interest to the affair. Then there ae Was a large amount of betting as to the re- Bult, which exeited a good deal of interest which was not aroused in this country, where we know nothing of the comparative merits of the horses and riders. But that which, if anything, gave the race an international value wos the fact that the result was expected to prove several import- ant points in regard to the comparative last - ing powers of horse and man. It was also expected tobe demonstrated that a single horse and rider may be depended upon in time of war tocarry dispatches a long dis- tamce ata high rate of speed. We do not _ Kiiow as yet whether the experiment, viewed from this standpoint, was regarded as a suc- cess by German and Austrian military au- thorities; but we do know that not much Importance has been attached to the result in this country. Capt. Roe of Troop A of New York City, who probably knows as muen about long-distance riding as anybody in the United States, has spoken at length onthe matter, and according to his opinion, as will goon be shown, the whole thing was a mis- carriage as far as practical résults were con- cerned. | The race was the outcome of the offer ofa series of seventeen prizes, aggregating 88,500 marks to be given to those oOfficersof the German and Austrian armies who should cover on horseback the distance between Berlin and Vienna in the quickest time. The largest prize was 29,000 andthe smallest 600 The Austrian officers were to start from Vienna and the German officers from Berlin, which necessitated their passing each other on the road. The terminus for the Austrians was at the Custom House in the Tempelh of Field in Berlin. For the Germans it was Florisdorf, near Vienna. The distance to be traveled was about four hundred miles, though there seems to have been some un- ‘certainty as to this after the race was started. No change of horses was allowed. There were 141 starters from Berlin and 109 from Vienna. They did not, of course, all leave at once, but were divide into squads. There were no handicaps, and the winner was to be the one who spent the least time on the road. The riders wore the ordinary military coat and a great coat and were permitted also to carry a service sword if they so de- sired. The only service to be performed by the sword was that of ornament. For protec- tion in case of rain a light mackintosh was carried, rolled up on the saddle. There were no restrictions as to horses. Each officer had his choice, and in this respect it was gener- Ally agreed that the Austrians had the ad- vantage, for the Austrian cavalry horses are considered to be the finest in the world. Of the horses which took rtin the race from Berlin nine were English thoroughbreds, five Hungarian, one Russian and the rest Prus- sian. The most extraordinary ag eae ossible speed. Many of the competitors sent forward grooms, who engaged stables along the ronceand provided veterinary medicines in ense the animals should show signs of dis- tress. The medicines mostly used were brandy and morphine, the Arst to stir up the horse’s lagging spirits and enabled him to spurtafter being rid- dento the pointof death, the second to Geaden pain. There were also stations for shoeing and forage, and points where tele- hone messages could be dispatched tothe Beadauarters at Vienna and Berlin. It Will be seen that these elaborate arrange- ments detracted from the value ofthe race as showing what horse and rider could doin case of war. Inemergencies such as are likely to occur in battle, it would be nextto impossible to provideall these conveniences. To make the test a thoroughly practical one, every condition should have been made as meerly as possible like those which might be supposed to exist during warfare. It will be interesting to bicycle riders to know that a mumber of wheelmen started out with the officers. but were unable to keep up the pace get by the horses, owingtothe condition of the roads. As soon as the start was made a number of accidents occurred, which showed how un- used the officers were to this sort of riding. Horses kept breaking down constantly, some after they had been on the road only a short time. The majority of the competitors dis- ved very little judgment in nursing their orses’ strength. Prince Frederick Leopold of Prussia left Berlin at 6:30 o’clock on Saturday morning and arrived at Deutschhod, in Bohemia, at 5 o’clock Sunday afternoon. Herode a thor- ough-bred named Taurus, which at that int began to show signs of distress and re- d to eat. The Prince was advised to take a rest of six hours, but he pushed on to Iglau, 50 kilometres from Vienna, where his horse roke down. Count Fuerstenberg’s horse fell near Kolin, injuring himself and rider. A short while after the horse fell again, breaking his knee, and he had to shot, thus putting the Count out of the race. *Lieut.-Col. Von Miklos, one of the Austrian military officers, who was the first to arrive at Berlin, made the distance in seventy-four hours and twenty minutes. He covered ninety-seven miles the first day, 125 the sec- ond and 181 the third, resting in all thirteen hours.

Such a training is en- tirely different from that which a horse or- dinarily receives. With the men, of course, it wasdifferent. Any light weighted, active young mami could have stood the strain with- out special preparation. As old aslam (the Captain does not look to be over 40) I think 1 could have lasted he distance without much difficulty. 1 „There was no excuse for the breaking down of so many horses. The Austro-Hun- garian breed is the finest In the world for cavalry purposes. The fault lay with the riders: first, in not preparing the animals properly; second, in their unncessarily cruel manner of riding. There seems to have been ve little judgment usedinthe matter of saving the horses’ strength. The competi- tion was so keen that each side seta killing ace on the first day. I think that even aster time could have been made nad some regard been shown the animels. Nocav- alry officer in this country would dream of doctoring his horse with morphine and brandy simply for the sake of being first in a race. The treatment the horses received was cruélin the extreme.

A strong man can greatty outride a strong horse. The strain on the man is chiefly of a nervous character, while the horse is bound to suffer physically. ** Another thing which took away from the practical value ofthe race was the extensive preliminary arrangements which had been made all along the route. Of course such a thing would be absurd in actual warfare. It would be easier in an emergency to provide relays than telephone, horseshoeing and for- age stations. „do not think, therefore, said the Cap- tain in conclusion, that anything of prac- 1 has been accomplished by the ride.

Its Plot —Ohnet Disregards Criticism. Takes Six Months to Write a Play and ‘Only Does It Once in Two Years— Some of His Opinions on the Novel and the Drama. Special Correspondence SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH. Panis, Oct. 14.—‘‘Nimrod et Ole,’’ the new novel of George Ohnet, has a great success; unlike most French novels, it is suitable reading for young people. It isthe story of a Jewish banker in Paris, who buys a castle and invites many people daring the shooting season. His daughter falls in love with the son ofa noble whom the banker has ruined, but in the end the marriage takes place. The chief interest of the novel lies in the pictures of life in financial circles, the splen- dor of entertainments and the disdainfor all who have not wealth. Georges Ohnet, above all, seeks to interest his readers. The logic of his novels and their great interest make them suitable for the theater. They gain with scenic form, and in the theatrical arrangement disappear Ohnet’s weaknesses, his neglected style and ~~ — Georgee Ohnet. insufficient psychology. On the contrary, theatrical arrangement accentuates his qual- ities of order and action, his science of an- titheses and his happy choice of dramatic subjects. The“ Maitre des Forges’’ had a won- derful success atthe theater, but Aurelien Scholl, the witty chroniqueur, said that Ohnet was obliged to pay in order to push Comtesse Sarah to the hundredth representa- tion. That is true, replied Ohnet. Tes, dear Scholl, I pay to have my plays represented. Sorge Panine’ took from me 200,000 francs, and the ‘Maitre des Forges’ 500,000, You have told the truth. Iam ruined andI owe Im- mense sums to poor Ollendorf, who publishes my books out of sympathy forme. I do not blush for my situation; it is that of all authors whose works are played more than ohne hundred times. You must be rich, be- cause you have had no success as novelist or dramatist. Let me ask from you a little pecuniary assistance.’’ Aurelien Scholl was obliged to say that his adversary had aroused him in an effective manner. But. he added, ‘‘Ohnet re- serves his wit for his private letters, not for his plays.“ Although Ohnet considers the career of a novelist much more agreeable than that of a dramatist, the latter has for him great attraction. lie says: If you like a calm, peaceful existence, be a novelist, but ifyou are not frightened by battles, be a dramatic author. You may write ten novels and then not be known, but have one theat- rical success and you are a brilliant ight. After the criticism of Aurelien Scholl Ohnet decided to pay no attention to what is said of him by the press. For him, the only judge isthe public. The day that lfeel my pub- lic is wearying of me, that day 1 shall cease to write. As for the press, I never answer an unpleasant article, forthe reason I never read one. An amusing story is related, apropos of this characteristic; a critic, writing of one of Obnet’s plays, began his article by expressions of admiration for Ohnet personally, and finished by the most cruel criticisms of the author. One of Ohnet’s friends said to him: Have you read the article?’’ op er . Read it, or shall I read it for you? It be- gins by praise, andends with the most ad- verse criticism.’’ „Read it to me if youlike, but only the pleasant part. Ohnet stopped the reader, soon as the dis- agreeable portion of the article began, by saying: Do not spoil my pleasure.“ Write to the author,“ said the friend. **Certainly. 1 shall send my card with thanks.’’ Somedays after the friend met the critic who sgid: ‘‘Ohnet was delighted with the article I wrote concerning his play.“ Jes. but he only listened tothe first part. He knows nothing of the strong expression at the close. The astonishment of the critic can be imagined. Ohnet writesvery slowly, and six months of labor are required to complete a novel; even withthistime he has reflected twoor three years before putting a thought on pa- per. When Ohnet has found a subject he studies the beginning andthe end, he plans the character of his personages, their dress and even the color of their hair. Then he writes every day, four hours, always in the morning. Sometimes he writes no more than four pages, sometimes a chapter. When Ohnet is writing the novel he has no thought for the play that is to be taken from it, con- sequently, when a novel is dramatized, the work is recommenced. As soon as one of Ohnet’s plays is ac- cepted ata theater he listens to each re- hearsal and does not hesitate to criticise severely actors and actresses. Strange to say he fears always for the success of his play, and the director of a great theater said once to Ohnet: „When your play is in preparation you have only an idea—to take it away so that it may not be played.’’ Ohnet believes that in Paris there are only four serious theaters, and as each theater produces perhaps three plays a year, he has no right to represent his own plays oftener than once intwo years. In this he follows the advice of a dear friend who sald to him of Serge Panine;’’ Lou have had a great success. Keep quiet for at least two years, and always allow a space of at least eighteen months between two productions, otherwise you will weary the public.’’ There are those who reproach Georges Ohnet for his wealth; there are those who say that he has never had to battle with ad- versity and that fortune has always show- ered her favors upon him. To some extent this is true. Georges Ohnet began life with a moderate competence, but although to-day he is wealthy he has not always been favored by fortune. At first his manuscripts were refused in all directions, and at least fifteen of his earlier plays were never produced— never were printed. Only in 1875 did Re- gina Sarpi’’ appear at the Theater His- torique, and since then Georges Ohnet has been accused of grasping all the chances in literature. Georges Ohnet's home in the Department of Seine and Marne is called Chateau des Abymes,’’ and here he has lived five years with his mother and histwochiidren. Here he receives his friends, and here he writes his novels. The Park of Abymes was de- signed by Vare, the gardener who arranged the bois de Boulogne, and in one of the wings ofthe castle is a clock that tells the hour to all the surrounding villages. The entire cas tle was furnished by Georges Ohnet himself, and furnished in the most artistic manner; Gobelin tapestries are admired by Olinet as they are by Alexandre Dumas. Ohnet buys au- ——— tapestries and covers walls and fur. niture, - His salon is Louis Quinzein sty' and the wood dates from that period; a cu us clock is of carved wood, gilded and eng: Med with arms of Brittany. Behind a superb sofa, upholstered with Gobelin tapestries, is a buffet Inlaid with arl brought from Tonquin, and scatt hroucheut the room are Chinese | Because she carries a pail ont ‘ 3 = * 1 A .

The dining-room is a typical baronial hall, in Flemish style, and among its decorations is a fine copy of Ruysdael’s Torrent.“ From the large window of a study, whose ceiling is raftered in pure Flemish style, one sees a lake, and the routes by which, in 1871, the Prussians came to Paris. BARONESS ALTHEA SALVADOR, LABOR NEWS. Three Strikers Badly Beaten at Home- stead—Beaver Falls Strike. HOMESTEAD, Pa., Oct. 22.—James Gibson, Peter Maran and John Wadenman, strikers, went to the mill last night and gained en- trance. They began to abuse some non-un- ion workers, and while quarreling several of the workmen came up, who had been beat - en in town. They claimed to recog- nize the three strikers as having been among the crowd of theirassailants and immediately went in for revenge. About two minutes later deputies on the Munhall road beheld the three strikers retreating, while rocks and pieces of siag were whistling around their heads, They were badly beaten. The deputes arrested the three strikers, but, acting under the advice of Capt. Newton, let them go. There will be a big Democratic demonstra- tion and a parade of the strikers to-night. In order to avoid a possible collision the non- union men were advised to remain in the mill to-night or go to Pittsburg. About $70,000 was paid out at the mill to- day, this being pay-day. The usual Saturaay afternoon meeting of the locked-out men is being held this after- noon, a number of speakers from Pitts burg being present. The report that the men at Beaver Falls desire to return to work causes much sur- prise here and a strong effort will be made to dissuade the men from going. If they do go back the effect will be depressing locally. MAY RESUME WORK SOON. PITTSBURG, Pa., Oct. 22.—Notwithstanding yesterday was a holiday and all business suspended in the general offices of the Car- negie Steel Co., Messrs. Frick, Leishman and other officials of the company met in conference with a delegation of prominent business men from Beaver Falls,and negotia- tions for a resumption of work in the Carnegie pant at Beaver Falls took ona more business- like form. The Beaver Falls men told the firm that they were authorized by the mento say that they were ready to return to work on the terms on which they were working eat the time of the strike. The committee guaranteed the company absolute protection to property and employes if they would re- sume. NO CONSULTATION HELD, PITTSBURG, Pa., Oct. 22.—Secretary Lovejoy said to-day there had not been any consulta- tion between the business men of Beaver Falls and Chairman Frick regarding the early settlement of the sympathetic strike there, He said Mr. Frick was out of the city, and that while a number of Beaver Falls citizens bai been in the Carnegie offices, it was simply to see the parade and not to arrange for the strike settiement. STAGE HANDS STRIKE. CINCINNATI, O., Oct, 22.—A strike among the stage hands which began early this week is growing serious. A meeting ofthe Musi- cians’ Union has been called for to-morrow, at which it seems likely the musicians will make common cause with the stage hands. FOUND IN THE RIVER, Suicide of Miss Belle Marchbank at Bos- ton. Boston, Mass., Oct. 22.—At 1:30 yesterday morning Officer Horlan found on the Charles River wallatthe end of Clarendon streeta bundle made up of a woman’s straw hat, shoes, jersey waist and skirt. On it was an envelope containing the following words on a slip of paper: Miss Belle Marchbank, 24 Faxon street. Born 1871; 21 years, 8 months, 7days. Died Oct. 20, 1892. Good-bye to all. Later in the day the girl’s body was found in the river dressed in underclothingand a loose calico wrapper. The Geceased lived with her father and stepmother, who are ein!i- nently respectable people. It is said that since she had an attack of typhoid fever in 1891 the girl had not seemed right in her mind and had often been despondent. AN EVANGELIST’S RASH ACT. Fr. WAYNE, Ind., Oct. 22.—Samuel Shockey, evangelist, author and traveler, recovered froma spree this morning and, tearing his clothes into shreds, made a rope and hanged himself in his cell at the police station. He was cut down just before death ensued, but may yet die, MADE A FATAL WOUND.

JOKES ONCOLUMBUS. MOW THEY TREAT THE FIRST WHITE MAN WHO DISCOVERED AMERICA. Written for the SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH. Columbus is not a distinctively humorous character at the present day. In hisown time, to be sure, he afforded endless mirth to his scientifiC and theological contempo- raries. His comicidea that the world was round and not fiat, his hilarious conception that you might circumnavigate the globe and so find a new way to the Indles, the absurd unreasonableness which made him reject the opinions of the most able and thoughtful mariners of the period that beyond Cape Bo- jador the waters of the ocean rose to boiling point, and that fatuous persistence with which one after another he thougiit to inter- est the potentates of the earth in an expedi- tion based upon these various assumptions, all conjoined to make the scorned world look upon him as an entertaining kind of lunatic. Sometimes they condescended to reason with him. Then they showed him that even if his theory ofa round globe were true, it might be easy enough to sail down hill to the other side, but impossible to sail up hill back a ga in to his starting place. They proved by Scripture and the fathers ofthe church that Columbus was not only a madman, but a heretic, There is real merit—indeed, there 18 *humor of a high order in a syllogism put forth by a great theologian named Postatus: The apostles were commanded to go into all the world, and to preach the Gospelto every creature: they did not go toany such part of the world as the antipodes; they did not preach the Gospel to any creature there— ergo, no antipodes exists.“ d Columbus was not only a humorous ob- ject in himself, but the cause of humor in others. After he had proved his point, however, after he had triumphantly sailed back to Spain from his voyage of discovery, he was no longer an object of derision, butof envy, detraction and hatred: Like many other great men he had to wait for death to vindl- cate him. Death brought with it an apotheo- sis. Nodody dared, indeed, nobody cared to mock at the new-made god, It was centuries before the divinity that hedged him was set aside, and men looked athim face to face as on a fellow man, though one of the might- lest of his fellows. He hada great soul and a willing spirit, but the fiesh was often weak. : And thus it happened that the funny man found it was no longer a sacrilegeto deal with his memory in the irreverent spirit of burlesque and caricature. And of recent years especially the funny men have fre- quently turned their attention to him. HOPKINS’ SAD HUMOR. In the year 1876a certain Livingston Hop- king perpetrated ‘‘A Comic History of the United states. It was his first offense and one is pleased to learn from Allison’s ‘‘Dic- tionary of Authors’’ that it was his last. Nevertheless the offense is not easily to be forgiven. Mr. Hopkins’ idea of humor was ofa criminally conventional sort. He played weird tricks with the ghosts of departed chestnuts—chestnuts that had long ago been cast out of literature and had perished in the gutters. Imagine a writer who deems it comic to say that Christopher Columbus was born at Genoa in Italy, a country chiefiy famous for its talented organ-grinders. The youthful Christopher soon made the melancholy dis- covery that he had no talent in that direc- tion. His tastes rather took a scientific turn. This was a sad blow to his good parents, who did hope their son would take a turn at the hurdy-gurdy instead. His aged father pointed out that science was low and un- profitable, geology was a humbug, meteor- ology and madness were synonymous terms, and astronomy ought to be spelled with two s’s.’’ And so the fun runs madly on until we reach the time when Columbus ‘‘peti- tioned the Italian Congress to fit out an expedition and let him prove his theory,’’ with the result that the Italian Congress magnanimously offered to set him up in business with a first-class hand organ and an educated monkey cashier on condition of his leaving the country once for all; but Colum- bus, expressing his regret for his lack of musical ability, declined this generous offer ‘and turned with a sigh to other governments forassistance. Finally, after fifteen years of effort, he succeeded in convincing Queen Isabella of Spain that there was an undiscov- ered country beyond the seas, overflowing with milk and troney, which it would be worth while to work up. He proved his the- ory with the aid of an egg (which he made stand on end), an old Boston city directory and a ground-plan of Philadelphia (see school books), and demonstrated to the good lady’s entire satisfaction that she might re- alize largely by fitting out an expedition and letting him at its head go and discover it. But enough ofthis. <A very little may have a certain scientific interest, as a sample of the sort of thing which some men can write and a few others can laugh at. But a large dose would nauseate. A book of a much higher, order is the comic biography of Columbus, which Mr. W. L. Alden contributed toa series entitled Lives of American Worthies,’’ planned by Henry Holt, the publisher, in 1881. The series was to deal in a light and humorous way with many of the most famous of our compatriots. Thus Charles Dudley Warner led off witha life of John Smith, and Robert J. Burdette followed Mr. Alden’s Columbus with a life of William Penn. John Habberton was an- nounced to do Washington and George T. Laniganto do Andrew Jackson. But the series came to an abrupt end with Burdette’s book. Perhaps it is just as well, HIS FREQUENT BIRTHS. Mr. Alden’s ‘‘Columbus’’ is as good as any 5 2 5 1 ‘ Ay 8 7 ne PR gp 9 og * „ Be bi. * 2 * A * 2 ; * 2 * nn? 13 i ee r 9 as. x 8 « Pia 4 4 ‘% . * 7E eae | decided.“ we do not care for Mr. Alden’s rearrange- ment of an old gag that was old even before Mark Twain. T father of Columbus,“ the biographer 45 was Domenico Co- lombo, a wool - combor by occupation, whose wool he combed, and why he combed it. and whether wool-combing is preferable to wool- gathering as an intellectual pursuit, are questions.that have never been satisfactorily You can laugh at this without actual degradation. Yet it is not avery Dril- Mant filght of humorous fancy. Some pages further on a good hit is made, when the biographer considers Columbus’ constant declaration that his chief reason for desiring to discover new countries was that he might convey the gospel to the pagan in- habitants thereof and alsofind gold enough to fit outa new crusade for the recovery of of the holy sepulchre. Perhaps Columbus really thought that he wanted to dispense the gos peł and fight the Mohammedans, and that he did not care a straw about becoming a great explorer and having the State capital of Ohio named for him; but his fixed deter- mination not tocarry a particle of gospel to tothe smallest possible pagan, except upon terms highly advantageous to his pockets and his schemes of personal aggrandize- meat, is scarcely reconcilable with his pious protestations. His own church decided, not very long ago, that his moral character did not present available materials for the man- ufacture ofa saint, and it is only too prob- able that the church was right. A SATIRICAL HUMORIST. t is a curious illustration of the deter- mination of his blographers to prove him an exceptionally noble man that they dwell with much emphasis upon his stern determination not to undertake any explorations except upon hisown extravagant terms. To the unprejudiced mind his conduct might seem that of a shrewd and grasping man, bent upon makinga profitable speculation. The biographers, however, insist that it was the conduct of a greatand noble nature, caring for nothing except geographical discovery and the conversion of the unlimited hea- then. Columbus’ final success in obtaining from Ferdinand and Isabella a full compliance with his preposterous demands is attributed by this biographer to his unparalleled powers of conversation, COLUMBUS TALKED THEM TO DEATH. **We Know that most of those persons with whom he was on familiar terms when he first conceived his scheme soon died, and the in- ference that they were talked to death is irresitible. Beyond any doubt these were only afew of his victims. Columbus talked in Portugal until he was compelled to fly the kingdom, and he talked in Spain until the two monarchs and a few other clear headed persons felt that if he could be got out of the country by providing him with ships, money and titles it must be done. We can readily understand why the news that he was actually about to leave Spain, and to undertake a voyage in the course of which it was universally belleved he would be drowned, was received by the Spaniards with unanimous delight. Women wept tears ofjoy, and strong men went into secluded corners and stood on their heads in wild hilarity. The day oftheir deliverance was at band, and the devastating career of the ter- rible talker was nearly at an end. TWAIN’S ATTEMPT. A greater humorist than Mr. Alden has poked good-natured fun at the Columbus worship. But it was the more or less factitious emotion of the Genoese ci@eron! which Mark Twain delighted to stultify. Being unable to do without a guide he determined to get amusement out of him asa renumeration for the affliction of his society. He has chroni- cled the result in a famous chapter in his ‘*‘Innocents Abroad. The guide, finding that Mark Twain’s party were Americans, and knowing the wonder and rapture which Americans always exhibit before any relic of Columbus, drags them to the municipal palace to gaze upon ze letter writing by Christopher Colombo! Write it himselt— write it wis his own hand! Come!“ Alter much impressive fumbling of Keys and opening of locks, the stainedand aged document was spread before us. The guide’s eyes sparkled.

But after all this deliberate and made-up fun, this pretended ignorance, excellent as it is, is not as delightful as the unconscious hu- mor Of real ignorance which has frequently played around the subject of Columbus, Mark Twain has himself acknowledged this, EVERYTHING HAPPENED IN 1492. In 1887 Miss Caroline B. Le Row issueda little book called *“‘English as She Ig Taught.’’ It was a collection of a number of genuine answers co examination ques- tions in our public schools. She was herself a teacher. From time to time, dur- ing many years, whenever a pupil delivered himself of anything particularly quaint or toothsome this teacher, or her associates, privately set the thing down in a memoran- dum book. Then when the manuscript had reached fair dimensions she sent it to Mark Twain, asking whether he thought it ought to be published or not. He promptly ’ es,“ and further in an article in Century he called attention to it as a darif literary curiosity,’’ and thought that its uf conscious drollery was inimitable, : In the answers to historical questions he was specially impressed with the depth to which one date had been driven into the child’s head—14 92. The date is there, and it is there to stay. And itis always at hand, always deliverable at a moment’s notice. But the fact that belongs with it? That ig . quite another matter, Only the date itself is familiar and sure; its vast fact has fatled of lodgment. It would appear that whenever you ask a publicschool pupil whena thing— anything, no matter what—happened and he isin doubt, he always rips out his 1002. He applies it to everything, from the landing of the ark to the introduction of the horse-car, Well, after all it is our first date, and so itis right enough to honor it and pay the publie schools to teach our children to honor it. Here are a few examples in illustration: George Washington was born 1492. Washington wrote the Declaration of In- dependence in 1492. St. Bartholomew was massacred in 1492, The Britains were the Saxons who invaded England in 1492 under Julius Cesar. »The earth is 1,492 miles in circumfer ence.’’ 4 few miscellaneous facts about Columbus himseif have a certain hilarious interest. According to one pupil he was called the Father of His Country, according to another he was the first white man who discovered America. The logical bent of Columbus’ mind is very clearly indicated by the scholar who explained that ‘‘Columbus knew the world was round because he balanced an egg on the table. It is a little startling to learn that Queen Isabella of Spain sold her watch and chain and other millinery so that Colum- bus could discover America. But one 18 Dieased to have the main facts in the nayi- gator’s life neatly and succinctly set forth in this paragraph: i Christopher Columbus went to sea un he was 14 years ot age. He dreamed there was a place named America, and after much adversity he finally discovered it. AN AMERICAN BOY’S SIMPLE TALE. But better than anything ts Miss Le Row’s book, and apparently equally genuine is a composition saidto have been offered ina Swedish school some dozen years ago, Here is a rough translation: Columbus was a person who could make an egg stand upon end without breaking it. The King of Spain said to Columbus: Can you discover Amer ica?’ ‘I can that,’ said Columbus, f ou will give meaship.’ He got a ship and sailed over the sea in the direction where he thought America ought to be. The crew kicked and said there wasn’t any such place. after several days of mate came to said, ‘I see land.“ ‘It is America, said Columbus. ‘When the ship landed the shore was full of black men. Columbus asked them ‘Is this America?’ ‘Yes, it is,’ they said, ‘Then,’ said Columbus, ‘I suppose you are Indians.’ ‘That’s what we are,’ they said, ‘and you,’ said their chief, ‘I suppose you are Columbus?” ‘Right you are,’ said he, The chief turned to his men, it's no use, he said, ‘we have been discovered at last. A translation of this composition seems to have fallen intothe hands of Henry E. Dixey who, in the latter days of ‘ Adonis, used to recite a revised version of it, more elab- orately grotesque, but without the naive simplicity of the great original. The Chicago Fair Color.

The season for eyes opeis now, when families are coming back from the country to their town houses. The woman of the family—I don’t care how rich she is ifshe’sa good housekeeper—wants to superutend the arrangement of the house for the witer, and what with falling over chairs and trjing to hang pictures and arranging curtairs, they do get some beautiful eyes. Womei whoare strangers in town get eyes, too. Tey putup at hotels and, forgetting they ave not at home, they often try to walk aroun their rooms in the dark. Bang!

Tuckaway Table. A delightful little English convenience, which is invaluable for afternoon teas and garden parties, is called the ‘‘tuckaway ta- ble. As may be seen in the sketch, this is a little octagon table with a hinge in the cen- ter, an iron hook and eyescrew holding it firmly in position when open and in use. When not needed it may be folded together and, as the name implies, tucked away in a closet to be ready when wanted. A dozen ot such tables would be found very useful in a house where there is much entertaining and would be pretty in either oak or cherry, hard- wood being preferable to painted wood. Would You Wear This Dress? This is a Jenness Miller suggestion, a short dress for business women. She saysitis of alldresses the correct one for busy street activities, the dress for shopping, for easy, natural walking as an exercise, for utility as a street dress. And then Jenness Miller, gives voice to this fervid appeal: Rise, free soul, and declare against such fashions as seek not only to fetter your powers of motion, butto besmear you with the filth of the. public highway as well. Woman, sister, inthe name of common de- cency, of cleanliness, of health, put the trained street dress aside, I beg you, or cease prating of the higher intelligence of the race. Free souls demand free bodies, clean hearts, clean surroundings. Empire Spread and Bolster. The spread and bolster here pictured were made fora room furnished in the empire style. The design was embroidered in deli- cate shades on a handsome, soft, cream- colored satin, and finished simply with a i wagescens — Jy a : 1 f we Ae — J cord around the edge. The bed itself was gilded, and had embroidered panels inserted at the head and foots Among others was a very harmonious, handsome and _ effective spread, the coloring being madsto match some empire brocade used for the hangings. A conventional tullp design was rendered in bright gold silks, and the background darned in dullreds. Theleaves were outlined, and the flowers worked in long and short stitches, the material being of a rich cream color. & Laundry Bags.

To make one of this description buy cream white duck and make it into a bag twenty inches long and twelve inches wide.

On the front of the bag have stamped the words ‘*Rub, rub, rub, the never ending song of the tub, or something else equally ap- propriate. Work the letters with gold thread. The bag. when finished is inexpensive and de- cidely effective. The Triple Caps. About the short triple cape there can be no question. It has no air of loose drapery, but ssimply a shoulder coverlng and charming autumn street wrap. There can be no mis: \ take in providing one’s self with one of these. Very popular ones are of Cardinal red cloth the edges merely cut, with a ruche about the neck of black ribbon, with strings to tie. CRINOLINE. |It Had Its Day Amorg the Fashions in Days Gone By. Crinoline was invented about the middle of this century, and straightway woman’s posi- tion in the world, as represented by actual circumference of attire, was greatly en- larged. The farthingale and the panier were eclipsed in size, If not in grace, by the cage of steel hoops that now became the rage. Large bonnets and large mantels also came in to complete the farce of amplitude. But crinoline was deposed after a reign of some years, and then there were rather sudden ebbs and flows in the method of the skirt, at one period dropping down to cling: ing draperies monided to the bod other reas ertihg itself to the extent of the „improver, the ‘‘tourture’ or t ‘petti- aS en: 1 arne: | seams XZ. others carry they best know. . | some.

Instinctively yourarms will stretch outside- wise and go through the bags at the side, which will turn out to be wide loose sleeves. Now go and look at yourself in the glass, and you will see what you have been doing. Do your eyes really slant almond-wise, and is your hair done up in Japanese loops on either side of your head? Something Japanese is the matter with you atanyrate. Why, you have atrue Japenese gown on! You turn around and take a look at the back. Yes, it has the scant, straight skirt and the loose bodice. It is exactly like the imported gar- ment sold in the shops as the every-day gar- ment of the Japanese woman. Now take it uff; you are not quite done with it yet. The front of the skirt is too nar- When Finish: d. row to close well; widen it by two narrow widths on each front breadth, running from the bottom to the supposed waist line and narrowing towards the top. The diagram makes this point clear. Hem the skirt at the bottom, finish the neck by guttinga straight band of the dloth three inches wide straight around the neck. Then the Kimono js complete. There is no planning and cutting and shaping and boning. The garment is lapped lightly at the waist, and is girdled with a twisted cord. Make one of these out of white cotton crepe, with achina-bluefigureinit. Put it on any of these days, when the thermometer and the death-raté have got up tothe highest notch. Then sit down and wonder why we are sending missionaries to the Japanese, —— A Handsome Chatelaine. Still the American girl believes in herald- ing her presence by the frou-frou of her silken petticoat and the jingling of the silver One Thing More for the Chatelaine, trinkets suspended from her belt. To cata- logue the things she affixes to her chatelaine would be a work of labor, Each small silver article is designed for some special use.

Large arm-holes reduce the apparent width of the back, and the full high sleeves dissem- ble the size of the shoulders. The sleeves might be of different color to the robe or not, according to taste. No style of dress will ever make a woman who weighs sixteen stone look like a girl who weighs'six or seven, but by attention to long sweeping lines and avoiding all tndications of exact size, stout ladies may achteve a grandeur and dignity denied to their stighter sisters. give dignity to thefigure. In front, elther > DRESSES DOWN TO THEIR ANELES. The Children Are Wearing Long Skirts Like Their Mothers. Little Miss Muffet, it she were a well-dressed child, would have to-day some slight dim- culty in making her escape from her enemy, the spider. Her gown would be too long to allow of much free motion, But what else could be expected in Miss Muffet’s dresses when Mamma Muffet’s gowns trail over the sidewalk? Atany rate, the little girl has the advantage of looking strikingly picturesque. Just Like Mamma. A quaint frock, which reaches the ankles of its youtbful wearer, is shown here. In the original it was made of silk, and the skirt stood out stiffly, andthe big sleeves kept their puffed appearance from the heavy quality of the material. The gathered skirt was sewed on toa full bodice, which had a square yoke of softly gathered silk, A nar- row frilltrimmed theshort puffed sleeves.

There is no doubt that the new materials this fall, both for house and street gowns, dazzle with their brilliancy and charm with their warmth of color and novelty of design. Taking this for granted, does it not speak very wellforthe old-fashioned cash- mere that itis able tohold its own among these new creations? For gowns with loose, flowing draperies the silk-finished cashmere isin great demand. The illustration shows a dress to be worn when the st gown is taken off, at that hour when 5 o’Clock tea is a luxury. The gown is of cashmere and, together with its trimming, reflects the light. of a sunset. It is of a peculiar warm shade, just between a 7 — cif | 0 My | 4 | 1 N 7 ö 8 0 SA : Ls Dine 188 — 2 ab l Lal if j When Tea is Poured. / ‘ rose-pink anda flaming scariet.

Canning, according to the old-fashioned idea of doing it, is sofatiguingand tedious that the modern housewife with her modern ideas of labor-saving, shrinks from under- taking it,and declares that she prefers to buy her fruit already cannedor to go without rather than spend hours and hours over a 8 if the modern house wife only knew it, thereare ways Of preserving fruit not at all difficult and just as good even as the good old ways’’ of our grandparents, And since the modern housewife likes to know of new and good things, let her read and learn.

They cater only to the women of fashion and wealth. Otherwomen consider themselves fortunate if they can go to the opera; not having an opera cloak does not disturb them in the least. — * The opera cloak shown in the illustration is of scarlet corded silk lined with silvery satin.

The most Interesting and philosophical correspondent signs himself ‘‘Resignation,’* and expresses the opinion that most hus- bands are dissatisfied use they have got the wrong wives. Every man has an ideal wife, but seldom finds her. Such is his own sad case. Often the ideal is only to be found: in a higher social rank than hisown. Thisis a trouble that the writers of novelettes have already made very familiar. Of his own wife this man is good enough to remark: 1 do not say that my worst half Is hot a fairly affectionate woman. I ca allege, as some of your correspondents doo their helpmates, that she has either an an- gelic or a demoniacal disposition. She is sinall-minded, as all women are; sets great store upon the conventionalities, as most English women da; thinks. her husband might bea great deal better off if he tried to improve his position—here, again, being in agreement witha settled conviction that he isa lucky individual to have been blessed with her, and thatshe was extremely good- netured and condescending to have married him.“ And, again: she never dreams that lentertain any doubt as to the su or advantages I have enjoyed from her heroic sacrifice in sharing my home and spending five-sixths of my income.“ He adds ‘plain- tively that he is only permitted to smoke in the garden, That remark to the effect that his wife spends five-sixthsof his income, taken in connection witheven more explicit state- ments in other letters, reveals an extraordi- nary state of affairs. The English husband is accustomed toconcealthe amount of his income trom his wife.» What do you think of that, American woman? He does not take her into the matrimonial business asa full partner, but asa subordinate to look after domestic details. This, at least, is what one must believe from the correspondence. If he does not tell her his income and consult her about his business, she cannot be blamed for Spending as much as she canany more than a clerk for gettingas much salary as he can from his employer. ) Some wives, it is said, save more on ace. count of their ignorance than they need, but they appear to be exceptional. Many of these letter-writing husbands complain that the sole object in life of their wives is to wring money out of them. The husband says he has no money, but she declares she Knows, which she does not, that he has lots. It tickles the vain British husband to be looked up to as a person of large financial re- sources, and so he maintains his dignified re- serve, One result of the British husband's atti- tude in this respect is seen in the business tn- capacity of his widow, She is continually throwing away the money he leaves der iu — first worthless Investment that offers it- self, Short-Waisted Autumn Cloak.

Lucy Hopper Writes of the Moral Tone of English Society. Special Correspondence SUNDAY PO ST-DISPATCH. Paris, Oct. 7.—I have been a good deal interested in the controversy which has sprung up recently inthe leading magazines Of England and America concerning the al leged deterioration of the moral tone of En- glish society and the causes of such deterio- ration. Beginning withthe article of Lady Jeune, in the North American Review, which distietly affirms and deplores the fact, there has been a good deal of discussion of the mat- ter im the prominent periodicals of the hour. I observe, however, that the individuals who undertake the defense of the social organiza- tion in question, neither indulge in striking arguments nor bring forward forcible facts. , They content themselves with simply deny- ingevery statement of their adversaries, Now there is no easier method of assailing even the most unquestionable of facts than by simply saying It isn’t so. It may be alleged that those facts are patent to the world at large, but that makes no difference. A flat contradiction is the easiest possible method of meeting these assertions. Long years ago 1 published in an American magazine an article onthe Empress Eugenie, in which I made mention of\the jealous miseries that the countless liasons of the Emperor caused her. Whereupon an ardent American Bonapartist rushed into printin the American Register of Paris in defense of the assailed virtue of Na- poleon III, and in his response he declared that His Majesty never was unfaithful to his wife, and I have known Catho- lic statesmen to assert that the ex-queen Isabella of Spain was a spot less nature. Also I have been told that the Prince of Wales was a much slandered personage, whonever played cards except for mere amusement, and that Gen. Grant was nothing of a general anyway, and that Washington was rathera vicious character than otherwise, Always mere assertion. The received verdict of the world ‘‘is n’t so.“ Now, I think that both the assallants and the defenders of English society have falled to strike the right keynote of the matter. There are scandals and immoral personages and improper bebavior in the highest social circles of every large city in America, as well as in those of Europe. Human nature is pretty much the same all the world over. Mea and women in every land and every clime will persist in straying out ofthe straight and narrow paths of virtue into the flower-bedecked avenues of vice, and the only way that we have of judging of the comparative purity of any great social organization is to investigate as to the way in which vice and immorality are e by public opinion at large in its midst. Nowthe great drawback td the vaunted high standard of morality in Great Britain ts the existence of a privileged class, whose members are convinced that they can do no wrong, and are upheld in such belief by the conduct of their fellow-citizens of inferior rank, as well as by the support which they receive from their equais. There is nothin more fatal to theinterests of decency an purity than are such convictions, rhe hideous scandals that dis- graced the private life of Louis XV. (and which were so horrible that nothing more than a bare allusion to them is possi- ble) all took their rise in the universally ac- cepted impression that the King was above All law aud could do as he pleased. Pretty much the same thing, only u a less degree, Is true of the aristocracy of Great Britain. But I doubt if English society would tolerate quite the same shockjng actions on the part of the Prince of Walés ag those by which Louls XV. laid the foundations of the first French revolution, But it must be confessed that the English are very tolerant of sin when the sinner happens to be a peer or peeress. Take, for instance, the career ofa great British noble recently deceased, who at one time made a prolonged visit to the United States. For ears he insulted his high spirited, intel- ectual wife by the presence, just outside of the park gates of their country residence, of her shameless rival, in the home he had pro- vided forher. He brought that rival with him to the United States and intro- duced her into the homes of our leading citizens as his kinswoman. As soon as his wifedied he gave herasa successor this —— nion of his wanderings and his wickedness, Let he died the other day, in the odor of sanctity, and the Princess of Wales as well as the Prince sent beautiful flowers to adorn his coffin. Several years ago a young Earl took it Into his aristocratic head to induce a married lady, some years his senior, to elope with him. The injured hus.- band took steps at once to procure adivorce. Pendingthe termination of the proceedings, the lovers went ona long cruise on the Earl’s yacht. There was no attempt made at even preserving an appearance of propriety. The divorce once pronounced, his Lordship forthwith married the lady and re- turned with herto Englandto settle on his ancestral estates,. Tha home- coming of the Earl and his new Countess was hailed with the usual tokens of rejoicing by their neigh- bors and tenants, and amongst the crowd assembled to welcome them the most prominent as well as the most enthust- astic personage was the clergyman.of the parish. I remembDer having once had pointed out to meat Nice the equipage of the most noble the Marquis. of X—, who drove out dally, accompanied by his wife, who wasa woman he had selected from the lowest and vilest line of life, to adorn with the title of Marchioness. He was a heavily built, coarse-Jooking man, resembling a good deal more a prise fighter in aspect than the popular ideal of a noble of lofty linéage and long descent. The antecedents of .my Lady Marchioness were perfectly well known and were extensively talked about, and it was a well- understood fact that the dowagér Marchioness had always réfused to receive her new daughter-in-law. One day this precious pair issued cards for a dinner party. Amongst the invited guests were several of the oldest and most thoroughly respectable of the English residents of Nice. They, one and all accepted theinvitation, ignoring the fact that their hostess had been. one of those creatures whose garments the typical British matron would disdain to suffer ner immacu- late skirts to brush against when walking in the streets of London. But then the scorned female would not have been a Marchtoness. One of the acknowledged leaders of London seciety is a lady whose laision with a prominent British states man has been an acknowledged and recognized fact for a number of years. Yet she has never lost a name from her visiting- list on account of thatcircumstance. Her high rank has conterred upon hera perfect right to set all the laws of morality and de- cency at deflance. Women who are openly and notoriously the mistresses ofa certain fast royal personage are received and visited and petted and entertained all the more for the recognition of that fact. And I have more than once been assured that the social success in England of a well-known prima donna, was ouly fully assured when the fact of her being the mis- tress ofa French Prince became openly and scandalousiy biic.

She tries to take the envelope from thé-postman coolly and calmly, but Jean is scarcely 20, and only a country lass—she is not very successful in veiling her eagerness. Only a letter from her school friend, Hester Copford! Jean sur- veys it with blank disappointment, and then remembers with a pang of shame that Hes- ter’s letters have hitherto been the delight of her life. **Am I forsaking my poor Hester because I have Rex as well?’’ thinks the girl, indignant Against berself. ‘‘Hester and I have been friends all our lives, and she needs me more than ever nowthat trouble has come upon * nek my life is so rich in love that it ought to 5 r 7 a. ‘ 5 » a 1 rfiow to others!

Her soul is full of calm, deep thank fulness, as she sinks to sleep, guessing nothing of the thorns her young feet have to press, and the altar of sacrifice to which she is called. Miss Grigson has a headache next morning, and as breakfast in bed is rare enough to be historical with her, Jean feels concerned about her as she carries up the tray. Oh, auntie,-how pale you look!’’ she ex- Claims, do take some tea, it wili do you good, and then you must lie down again, and I will darken the room. Never mind me, Jeanie, says, Miss Grig- son, who seems in great trouble, shut the door and come and read this letter I have had from your Aunt Hamsworth by the morn- ing post; my conscience reproaches me for not making more inquiries about the man— your Aunt Hamsworth understands these things so much better than I da.“ ‘‘Aunt Hamswortnh is always upsetting one about something or other,’’ thinks Jean,who has very little in common with Miss Grig- son’s sister,a fashionable widow devoted to society. Shetakes the letter carelessly, not realizing at first thatit has anything todo with the one who is nearest to her heart. Jam astonished, my dear Sophia,’’ says the writer, ‘‘that you should consent to our poor Elsie’s daughter being thrown away on the first person who chooses to ask for her. Have I not repeatedly urged upon you that in a pastoral, Arcadian sort of way, Jean is not wholly destitute of attractions, and the young men of the present day being whimsical in their ideas, she might have achieved something quite satisfactory during a Lopdon season. I have repeatedly offered, for poor Elste’s sake, to actas her chaperon; but my advice is never taken, and now you have suffered her to become entangled with one of whom you know nothing save that he is a college friend of the rector’s son. There is good cause to fear this Reginald Melior is merely flirting with Jean; a friendof mine, who knows everybody, says shemethim ata seaside boarding-house last summer, and his habits of flirtation were quite the themeof conversation amid the circle there; he is said to be very susceptible where ladtes are con- cerned, and his disposition is fickie as a but terfiy’s. What sort of a husband is he like to make for Jeah? You had Detter send her offat once, and I will take herfuture in hand and do my best for her.“ Aunt, you need not worry yourself about a letter like this,’’ says Jean, proudly, Rex has told me more than once I am his first love, and he has had very little to do with la- dies’ society; he is no flirt, auntle, dear—he is true as gold. You know you trust him in your heart; you liked him from the first. And as for me, I would trust him all my life; and he is the only one in allthe world for me, whatever Aunt Hamsworth may say. a, my dear, what knowledge of charac- ter has a girl like you? Your aunt’s informa- tion is evidently on good authority; I fear I have been too precipitate in allowing you to wear an engagement-ring given by that young man: but I must think things over. Go now and give Hester her breakfast; what an unfortunate thing to have a visitor in the house while one is so worrled! Your Aunt Hamsworth seems quite vexed that I gave my consent. Nobody ever can satisfy her, says Jean, and whenI marry, it will not be to please Aunt Hamsworth. When Rex is here again, Auntie, dear, you can have a long talk with him, and you will then be as certain as I am that he isthe very Soul of truth and hon- or!’’: Jean’s pretty head is held erect in defense of her lover as she marches from the room; presently she returns to drop a penitent kiss on Miss Grigson’s troubled brow, but all thropgh breakfast time she looks preoccupied, and Hester is sure something is disturbing her friend’s accustomed calm. To divert her thoughts she rambles on with lively anec- dotes concerning her situation, and Jean feels thankful Hester is with her; the hours will fy till Rex is again in Heathbourne, and Aunt Grigson, looking into his steadfast face, will forego all doubts and misgivings. Now, Jean, says Hester, as they estab- lish themselves later on among the rocks, you know we always said we would teli one another whenever we received a proposal—’’ Jes, but somehow letter writing about these thingsis rather difficult,’’ says Jean, stroking her friend’s hand in the gentle way to which she is addicted. Indeed it is, and 1 get so little time to write letters! that was the chief reason I wanted to see you, Jeanlie—what do you think? lreally believe Ihave met my fate!“ ou, Hester!’’ stammers Jean, conscious ofthe ring in her purse, which is to be pres- ently produced as a surprise. Mes, and not one of the friends of our sun- shiny days, either! Ionly met him last sum. mer; you know Mrs. Soames had rheumatism and 1 had to accompany her to Shingle- down, toa boarding-house kept by a lady she knows. Mrs. Soames was under some special treatment, so Ihad plenty of time to myself, andone of the gentlemen there became very friendly—people called hima flirt, but 1 don’t believe he is! The day before we left he asked me if I could ever care about him, and he said he would call and see me in Stonecanton. Mrs. Soames says I shall never hear from him again, but it would break my heart to think that, Jean! He was so sorry for all our troubles, and he whispered to me that our home-nest would have room for mother.“ Did he give you no address, Hester?’’ Oh, yes, the Rustic Club in Pall Mall; but of course I shall not write to him first; it is his place to call on Mrs. Soames, as he promised. The Rustic Club! Why, that is the very address Jean has seen in certain of her lover’s papers and letters, forwarded to him at Heathbourne; perhaps through Rex she may beable to gain some information for liester concerning the one whose fidelity she trusts, Jean thinks, a little too credulously. What was this gentleman like, Hester, dear?’’ she asks, ‘‘ I know someone who isa member of that club; he may be acquainted with your triend.“ Hester’s bright face grows softer as she * reg 7 „ T 85 7 7 : | * ae t ¥ ä & * * 5 * * 4 FE * 3 „ * Pe) Ogee > me 33 —ha 2 . = . * N 5 1 ot . naa ! n Mallor.“ says Heste 0 ) name, e ar gh the Meliors of shire, ah old. family, Mrs. Soamestells me; but I know and care nothing about his money. I have had plenty of filrtations in my life, Jean—too many to please you, my little conscience—but Rex is the only one for whom I have really cared. I wish I had his likeness to show you; he said he would bring me one when he came to Stonecanton—he has such splendid eyes, a very dark brown, and brown hair with al- most a goldent tint here and there.“ Jean makes no answer; for her the sun- shine has gone from the sky, the music out of the sea. In a flash of consciousness she realizes her Aunt Hamsworth’s letter is true; her Rex is notas she imagined him—a king among men, a hero worthy ofa woman’s love, chivalrous, tender and true. He is but as the rest—one of those who love and ride away’’ jnst as fickle fancy may prompt; she understands now why his-allegiance to Hes- ter has ceased—in his holiday at Heathbourne she has found favor in his sight, and beguiled him from her friend. Jean,“ says Hester, impetouously, you are nota bit like yourself to-day. I thought you would be so interested about Rex, and that you would cheer me up and comfort me in this suspense, for sometimes it does seem hard to wait and wait and hear nothing from him, though, of course, I know he will come at last! And all the time you sit silent as a Statue—do tell me what is the matter, darling; are you anxious about Miss Grig- son? Do you think we ought to turn back, hnow?’’ es, let us go home, Hester. I don’t think Iam quite myself to-day; perhaps auntle's neuralgia is infectious,’’ says Jean, trying to smile, if [lie down after dinner perhaps I shall be a livelier companion by and-by; you might go down to see them at the Rectory after dinner.’’ No, indeed; I shall bathe your forehead and look after you, Jeanie,“ says Hester, fondly. ‘‘Mrs. Soames says I am getting quite a clever nurse, and she lays Jean’s hand on her arm asthe two go slowly and silently back into Heathbourne through the cornfields. The noon-day post has brought a long, ten- der letter to Jean from her flance, but her heart seems hard and cold as sue giances down the sheets. and tears them to fragments in the quiet of her room. How many such letters has he written, how many loving ex- pressions has he used, meaningless as these that fill the pages! And then Jean presses the fragments of paper to her lips, crying out within herthat she has power to influence her lover’s soul, that the truth of her own tenderness can ennoble and uplift his life; has she not promised herself to him, shall she separate her path from his, because of his passing fancy for—Hester? She remembers the troubied shadow in Hester’s merry eyesasthe girl spoke of his silence and the glad ring of assurance in her voice as she phophesied his sure coming to Stone- canton at last: Hester’s is a gray life of drudgery, a lite on which trouble has early fallen—is Jean to have all life's good things, and is Hester’s young heart to be desolate? As Ibeguiled him from Hester, so if he loves me, he will return to his allegiance,and she will be gladdeneq; and comforted,’’ thinks the girl, looking out at the woods in their autumn splendor, but seeing nothing of the glory of bracken and heather that carpet the moor outstretched before her window, **how can I be happy, Knowing Hester’s heart is breaking? One of us two must suffer —let it be me; what is my love worth for Hes- | { ter, ifl can purchase my happiness by her sorrow?’’ It Is a long, a stormy heart-struggle that goes on from day to-day in the quiet of Jean’s chamber, but the ena of it ts that she encloses her betrothal ring to Rex Mellor, with a few curt lines of farewell, She cannot trust herself to write to him at length. Something has come to my knowledge,’’ she says, ‘‘which prompts meto return you this ring. I give you back your freedom, andiclaim my own. Our engagement is over, but my heart’s desire is that in coming years you may make another happy, and that Heaven may bless your union.’’ **So that is ended now, she tells herself, as she seals the letter, and I will forget for ever that 1 wore this ring. The hardest partis to tell Miss Grigson, whose solitary meditations have led her to the conclusion that Mrs. Hamsworth has nothing to do with the fortunes of her own special ward, and that she will not be inter- fered with concerning Jean’s engagement. **She never came near Jean when we nearly lost her with whooping cough, or when I had to nurse her day and night with bronchtftis,’’ she reflects, ‘‘and now she wantstohavea voice in Jean’s engagement, and to separate her from young Mellor, who really seems to me avery manly and straightforward lad. If he satisfies meas to his prospects I shall allow the engagement to go on—I will not break thechild’s heart to gratify Amelia’s family ambition.’’ Miss Grigson is therefore taken greatly by surprise when Jean quietly tells her that evening that she hasreturned Reginald Mel- lor’s ring. It is very dutiful of you to wish to please your Aunt Hamsworth, my dear,“ she re marked, but young Mellor seemed really very fond of you, and it may be that you are wronging the young man in so lightly break- ing yourengagement. Girls of the present day donot Know their own minds; things were so different whenI was young. Now I suppose youare craving for a peep at society, as your aunt advises, and you will take up with some empty-headed young fop, only fit to be a tailor’s model. I certainly believe you were fond of young Mellor—you would not hear a word against him this morning.“ This morning! How far away it seems to the girlish heart as Jean answers in a low voice, they say ‘second thoughts are best, you know, auntie; Idid not write to him without reason, Please letus never talk of him again; I should like to go away from here for afew weeks, but I shall come back to you, auntie, and stay with you always—I never intend to marry.’’ ‘*Fiddlesticks!’’ is all Miss Grigson’s re- joinder, go to bed and don’t talk nonsense, You have played fast and loose with young Mellor—take care you don’t go further and fare worse.“ Jean is silent as she arranges her aunt’s candlestick, smelling-bottle, milk and bis- cuits on the little table beside her bed; then she goes down to Hester, who is in a specially chatty humor, and it is along time before she finds herself alone, free to outpour, un- seen by human eye, those bitter teans, which yet cannot quench within her loving) pitying heart, the fires of sacrifice that burn for Hes- ter's sake. Mellor’s answer to Jean’s letter is a brief one; doubtless his conscience reproaches him concerning Hester, and he feels that Jean’s fickleness has been well deserved. „J understand,“ he says, ‘‘the reason of your letter, and why you returned the ring; you ask for freedom, it is yours; I will do my best to forget you, but may God ever bless you, and may your life be bright and happy, N.“ „e will soon turn to Hester for consola - tion, decides Jean, poor Hester! he evi dently fills her thoughts and life-—she would always be talking of him if I would let her— but sometimes I feel so selfish I can scarcely bear to listen. Hester shall be happy if I can bring it to pass; how canthe two be brought together again? she will forgive his long silence, I Know, directly they are face to face; I could never have given him up save to one whose whole heart is full of him. But very soon after Hester’s return to Stonecanton she sends Jean a long con- dential epistle, written so joyfully that her friend feels the sacrifice has indeed not been Reginald Mellor has sought Soames allows him to visit madein vain. out, and Mrs. “4 ste \ a a a * * * *. 5 * e * a a * N ™ ~ 2 e See xx W N ** * 1 N ttre : ~" * tees ve + oe 14 * mee. 2 * 1 > FOR 15 T DAYS.

Jean answers the letter with a few kind words of sympathy, written in the midst of her packing for London. She is with Aunt Hamsworth, and feeling like a fish out of water amid a busy round of entertainments, when she catches sight of the names ‘‘ Mellor ~—Copford,’’ in a list of marriage announce- ments! — * * „ * * 7 Ten years have passed away, bringing on all sides changes, and yet leaving our heroine still in quiet Heathbourne, treading moor and woodland path as of old, in maiden meditation, fancy free!’’ ‘Never since Hes- ter’s marriage have the friends chanced to meet; many causes have. contributed to this end—the Mellors live in the south of England, a long way . from Heathbourne, and Miss Grigson’s increased infirmities make Jean’s presence frequently a necessity, but there were times when Jean could have trav- elled into Glenshire, had she been willing. The wound of oldis only just beginning to heal. Hitherto, while rejoicing in the glad- ness of her friend, she has felt a shrinking from the very thought of ever beholding again the face she has never forgotten—the face that now belongs to the husband of her friend. Againand again Hester has begged her to visit their beautiful home, tosee the little maiden that is called by her name, and the bonnie boy who is Rex No. 2, and as often she has found some reason for postponing the meeting. But at last Miss Grigson is ad- vised by her doctor to visit that mild locality during the cold weather, and she insists that Jean shall visit the manor and select for her apartments or a furnished cottage. Now bear in mind the aspect and the drainage, Jean, she exclaims, as her niece, whom the Heathbourne girls look upon now as ‘‘quite an old maid,’’ bids her farewell ere journeying southward, and above all, look out for traces of damp, and be sure, my dear, you notice if there is any signs of insects, and say I shall only take the place at first for a week ontrial. Dear me, Jean, surely that 18 not a gray hair just over your ear, and you only just 30. Your Aunt Hamsworth always says you will go off early as to your looks, but to my mind——’’ It isa gray hair, aunt, says Jean, with a qulet smile. I am going down hill now, you know; but as to getting rooms for you, I will do my best. I do not want to stay be- yond a few days at the Manor. „Notice which way the drains go,’’ Miss Grigson calls after her. Jean hears the words and faithfully makes a memorandum in her pocket-book, but her thoughts are at Mossdell Manor. WIII this be a painful meeting for Reginald Mellor,’’ her heart is asking, or has he forgotten her, seeing she isso changed fromthe bright-faced girl he wooed? ‘*} shall see little of him, she decides, ‘‘I will keep with the children as much as lcan; how sweet of Hester to name her girlafter me! butI wonder he did not object, for I must be to him an uncomfortable memory.’’ Jean has to cross London, and her cab is delayed by the breaking Gown of a wagon; in a hurry she procures her ticket at Waterloo and enters the first railway-carriage of which the door is open. Directly after, the guard shuts it with a slam, and, as the whistle is sounded, she finds with some annoyance that she is alone with o gentleman whois buried in a newspaper. f No doubt he resents my intrusion,’’ she thinks. Well, Ican change when the train stops; he looks an Inoffensive old gentleman, and I dare say I can find another carriage at Clapham Junction if he is nervous of la- dies. f The train runs through Clapham Junction however, and still her fellow passenger pe- ruses the leading articles; they are well on toward Swindon belore he emerges from the folds of his paper, and then Jean, rousing froma nap, utters a bewildered exclama- tion. The fact dawns upon her that her companion is not an old gentleman at all, but a man inthe prime of life, whose brown eyes meet hers quietly as he removes for an instant his traveling cap. Excuse me, he says, politely, 261 did not recognize you before. Jean has been preparing herself to meet Reginald Mellor at the Manor, side by side with Hester and the little ones, but to find him alone with her here, and to know she has to travel many miles in his company. She can nnd no words at frst, but simply stares at him in silence till she remembers she must force herself to speak. „Oh, good morning,“ she stammers ‘‘what rainy weather we have had, Hester did not say you were in London. „„es, I came last night.“ he answers curtly, looking with interest out of the win dow. mee Last night! visit to town. . 8 there ** Tou are making but a short dear baby’s cold has quite Oh! the boy. Has he posedly, I hope gone away now. **Who is dear baby? had a cold?’’ “Of course. Hester was quite anxious about him,’’ says Jean, indignantly. .A pret- ty sort of father he must be to ask Who is dear baby?’’ and care nothing as to the indis- position of his son and helr. „Oh, '' says Mellor, I dare say he is bet- ter; Hester said she was expecting a lady visitor; are you going to the Manor?“ Jean replies inthe affirmative, wondering if her companion-may not be mentally teeble, seeing he appears so forgetful of his domestic concerns. Oh,“ he returns to her explanation that she is the guest in question, ‘‘and is your husband coming too, Mrs. —er ——er.’’ Jean will not help him out; why should he suppose, as he probably will on finding her unmarried, that she kept single for his sake? Let him, forawhile at any rate, credit her with a husband! „What kindofa harvest has it been, Mr. Mellor?’’ she asks, knowing Hester’s hus- band is interested in agriculture. How should I know! very bad I expect,’’ he answers, gloomily, and then he asks, sud- denly, ‘‘what does your hugband do?’’ Do, Mr. Mellor?’’ ‘*Yes—has he any profession or anything of that sort?’’ Not exactly, stammers Jean. Is he very poor?“ continues her compan- ion. She regards him with some indigna- tion, but he quietly explains, ‘*I see he could not afford to buy you a wedding-ring.’’ Jean has forgotten that her left hand is un- covered; she colors vividly, then laughs frankly as she answers, It is no use my masquerading as Mrs. Anybody, Isee; lam still Miss Arden. And now, Mr. Mellor, do tell me all about my dear little namesake— how many teeth has she? Hester sent me your dear little daughter’s portrait on her second birthday: Itell her you should all be done in a group. He stares at her for a while, then remarks quietly: ‘‘The little girl nas three teeth——’’ Only three?’’ says Jean, blankly. Oh, and a few more; Iwill count them for you on arrival. [don’t think your cushion is quite comfortable, Jean. Jean starts a little, but reflects that she can scarcely forbid Hester’s husband to use her Christian name. He makes her very comfortable, and gets her a cup of tea at their next stop- ping place. But Jean grows silent and ill at ease ; there is a look in those brown eyes that is far, far too much like the lovelight famillar ofold. Aftera long, long silence he bends towards her withthe words: ‘‘Jean, we are nearly at the end of our destination; only tell me one thing—I belleve Ihave made a mis- take. Did you jiltmelong ago because my father was about to fail?’’ No, she cries, flushing indignantly. ‘‘I knew nothing of your circumstances; I had no mercenary reason. Please do not allude to the past. J thought you gave me up, fearing pov- erty,’’ he tells her; Why then then did you return my ring?’’ ‘*I will not tell you,’’ she answers, and I think I had better not cometo the Manor since you persist in conversation so objec- tionable.’’ ‘*Iwillbe mute,“ he answers, meekly, and indeed he says nothing more till they reach Mossdell Station, and Hester hurries forward across the platform, fair and bonnie in her matronhood, a tall, fine-looking man by her side. Ah, Jean, my darling! how nice for you to travel with Rex! welcome to England, cousin Rex zit is good of you to visit us so soon; and Jean, silent and trembling, feels utterly be- wildered, as one in a dream, ‘*Who—who is he?’’ she gasps, looking at the gentleman speaking to the groom as to the luggage. But only Mellor hears her, and he quietly replies, ‘‘that is my cousin and namesake, Hester’s husband—the dear baby’s father.’’ Certainly the two men must have been very much alike in earlier fe, but Hester’s husband is much stouter than his cousin, and the latter, Jean decides, is far more striking looking. By-and-by she understands it all—that her flance never was the Mellor who won Hester’s heart, but his namesake, and often mistaken for him. Business troubles and his bitter dis- appointment over a love affair, says Hes- ter, caused their cousip to go abroad; ‘‘he only landed at Liverpool yesterday. she tells Jean; he is Joining the London branch of the firm to which he belongs, and now he is settling in England, J meantotry hard to find hima wife. But the traveler saves Hester the trouble; discerning that Jean expected to find him the master of the Manor, he has quietly ved at something like tho true solution of her i I shall never give it to another; will you take it Dack?’’ II made a mistake about you, she stammers, ‘‘oh, Rex, Rex, the years have been very long-——’’ And then Jean’s namesake finds herself sucking taffee on the rug, and she has a half-hour of blissful stickiness, till Hester arrives with a raptured Well, I never!’’ directed at her cousin and her friend, and Jean, half smiles, half tears, wonders whatever Aunt Grigson and , Aunt Hamsworth will say when they hear of it! We'll write andtell them to-morrow,’’ says Mellor, ‘‘but to-night, my Jeannie, come out with me and seethe starshine! It has never been so gloriously bright through all the years that the sea has divided us!’’ THE BATHS ABROAD. How the French Hotsis Provide That Luxury for Their Guests. Written for the SUNDAY Post-DISPATCH. They had told us they would be as difficult to find as oases in the desert, and with as little water in them. That only the larger hotels of great cities possessed them, almost none of the smallapartments, and that the country inns, in no possible way, could make provision for them. Furthermore they told us that the only way in which that deep-seated American instinct for its morn- ingand evening plunge could be indulged, would be by carrying some rubber arrange- ment in our trunks or imitating the custom of our English neighbors in theirs. But for once we turned a deaf ear. And how much of romance and poetry we had missed, had we not? First there were those tubs on the steamer. ‘*Tubs on the steamer,’’ where everybody bathes. The solid piece of white marble fashioned into a deep commodlous batu, and filled with clear, cola and shining water just dipped from the sea, seems somehow never to have known another plunge before your own, Then your bath in Paris. What modern convenience could ever compensate for the delight of this? You ring your bell inthe morning. The garcon is called. You hear a stir in the corridor... Then there is pushed into your room something on casters—a great copper tub, deep and long as the biggest of your bath tubs at home. Over this and pushed down wellinallthe curves and cov- ers, is a great white, spotless linen sheet, and over this the wateris poured. You take your Dath, therefore, shielded from all con- tact with the copper by this freshly-laun- dried piece of linen. But the preparations made for you, do you think they end there, and with the water and the sheet? Never were you more mistaken for your towels, those towels that are just always on pegs just out ofreach, or, at best, are folded on the back of some chair drawn up beside you, those towels are here on this morning—in Paris—brought to you in a way to make you weep for all the waste of your past experience, for all the dearth of what the future outof Paris will forever mean. The garcon brings it in his hands, a round copper vessel, so highly polished that the furniture of your room as he moves appears, in reflected contortions on it. Inside this vessel is another, tightly sealed and holding hot water. About this inner vessel there are packed your linen bath robe, and inside still another paecilur the half dozen towels sent you. How warm and even caressing they are as you stepout into the possible chill of your room. But there are other baths in Switzerland as good as these though in a different way. They are the baths wulch you must go out to find, towhich you must be directed round certain turnings of the street or along vine- covered pathways in the woods. At Glesbach where the seven cataracts, one in mad rush after the other, from high up the mountain side fall trembling and bubbling In the Jake, you walk under an arbor and Over, a graveled path til a small house is reached. Therein an outer chamber, pre- sided over by a wrinkled, kindly crone, you have a bath Diana herself must have dipped in before she followed the gods away from earth, It Hes four or five feet below the floor. The mountain torrents feed it, The whitest and purest of marbles frame it. The queerest, most royal of ferns decorate its borders. Never was water more sparkling, nor clearer, nor colder.

The Fierce Wahehe Tribe Which Bars the Progress of German Colonization. Recent cablegrams from Zanzibar state that the Wahehe tribe, which in the latter part of last year massacred a German expe- dition under command of Lieut. von Zelewski, killing the commander, many offi- cers and 300 men, recently attacked the Ger- man station at Mpwapwa, on the road to Usugara. The Arab Governor, two Germans’ and two British Indians were killed and many of the defenders of the station were wounded, The Wahehe tribe are among the flercest warriors in Africa, and so far have proved invincible by any force sent against them. They inhabit the plateau country of Uhehe, some 200 miles north- east of the Lake Nyassa. Mr. Joseph Thompson, the first white who visited that country (1879) has thus described them: They are arather good looking lot of negroes, lightin color, with fine muscular figures. Their arms at that time consisted of assegais, a stabbing spear, and a weapon that was be- tween a billhook and an ax. It is said, how- ever, that they have since obtained good firearms from the Portuguese. years ago the Wahehe were not at all known for prowess or superiority over other tribes. Then achief named Machinga rose amon them, who, by his bravery and energy, vastly extended the dominion and importance of histribe. Burning with ambition to gain greater power and wealth, he determined to wrest the country of Urori from the hands of the greatand powerful chief, Merere. He had such influence over his subjects that they were ready to foliow wherever he led. In every engagement the Wahehe were vic- torious. Villages were burned and cattle seized, and like an irresistible wave, the na- tives swept across the plateau, Gevastating the entire country. Finally Machinga ex- tended his power clear to Lake Nyassa. All the tribes he met were in subjection to him, Within the past few years since the murder of this great chief by one of his subordinates, whocoveted his power, some of the tribes who surrendered their independence to Ma- Twenty-two: chinga have recovered their former terri- © tory, and the importance of the Wahehe ig thus considerably reduced, though they are stilla very powerful people, — ULCERS SCROFULA RHEUMATISM BLOOD POISON — ᷑̃ꝓ—— —— And every kindred disease arising from impure | bl cured b and beat of all Book on Blood and Skin Diseases mailed flee, 5 THE SWIFT SPECIFIO CO.

N Orane to Appoartin The Amorican Min- Aster” To-night—Miss Marlowe’s En- gégoment—“The Prodigal Father“ at the Hagan—“Across the Potomac” at Pope’s—Strong Attractions at the Other Theaters—Coulisse Chat. The Hagan bus just concluded two weeks of the legitimate, Thomas W. Keene having held the boards for that length of time. To Say that Mr. Keene adhered closely to con- ventional lines would not be accurate now. It would have been a fair description of his style of acting had he appeared thirty years ago, but Mr. Keene’s conventionalisms be- long to the remote past. His virtues and faults are not those of the modern stage, but belong to the actors of the Forrest school. In fact Mr. Keene is now something of an enachronism. No one who has carefully analyzed his presentation of Richard III. can fail to have observed that he believes exag- Beration necessary to make his points plain tothe audience, He metaplmrically winks at thom whenever he is engaged in some peculiarly treacherous scheme, and seems to be constantly in dread that his auditors will not anderstand that he isa hypocrite. Such Bichard ashe portrays would never have the English throne, but would have been detected at once and would have spent thé remainder of his days in innocuous desuetude behind prison walls. Nor could such a roaring ranter have gained the devotion of the soldiery of *‘the sternest, fiercest race on earth, as Richard did. Mr. Keene’s shortcomings are not due to the fact that he is not a fine actor. He certainly isanactor of ability, and can depict in an unmistakablé manner his con- ception of any character in which he ap- pears. The point to be criticised is his con- ception of the characters. A number of actors have won fame by the skill and sym- pathy displayed in becoming imbued with the spirit of the author or of the character portrayed, but ‘whose histrionic capacity is insuffictent to correct and complete portrayal of their conceptions. Mr. Keene does not belong to this class. He has an abundance, almost a superabundance, of force and can depict whatever is in his mind. Given the literary taste, fine discrimination and comprehen- Sion of complicated characters that some actors possess and Mr. Keene would stand much higher than either he or they do. As Richelieu, a character essentially artificial, Mr. Keene did much better. — — * At the Olympic ‘‘A Mad Bargain“ has drawn large audiences during the week. This play is @ cross between comedy and farce-comedy, with the elements of the latter decided in the lead. Ihere is more plot than is usual in farce-comeies, and while in the main the plot is absurd, some of the minor lines are well worked out. Rut the treatment does not convey any idea of high comedy. it some features of the acting of Mr. James T. Powers himself be omitted. Mr. Powers displayed, under marked disadvan- tages, ability to take a much higher plane in the dramatic world than he can wgain as X Mad Bargain.“ taste and - discrimina tion, times makes some bold dursts to escape from the Innate absurdity of his lines. hut the rest of the company, wiile excelisit of its kind, adheres strictly to farce- comedy methods, and renders abortive any effort to elevate the play, which in itself ts notentitiedtoany very high niche in the temple of fame. — * Nellie McHenry held the boards at the Grand Opera-house with her play ‘‘A Night atthe (Circus.

St. Louis theater- goers are delighted at the prospect of seeing Miss Julia Marlowe in a variety of plays. She will appear at the Grand Opera- house in seven plays, the pro- gramme having been so arranged as to give her an opportunity of exhibiting her abiliiies th in trugedy aud high-class comedy. Miss Marlowe’s rise has been almost phenomenally 88 andshe shows improvement in style @nd method every year. She is nota one- pisy actress, hut is so versatile that opinions rwidely astoher best production. The plays selected for this week’s engagement are Ingomar, which will be given on }.on- day night; **diuch Ado About Nothing,’’ ‘‘As ke It.“ Rogues and Vagabonds,’’ alion and Galatea.’’ ‘‘Roimeo and St, and ‘‘Twelfth Nigat.’’ 4 Next Sunday the Grand Opera-house will introduce r.

Byrne and Harrison who have ap- 1 stanced all competitors in the lity of their themes that of an island nhabitants were never known to *ttake water. Mr. Seabrooke’s production is said to excel in pictorial eplendor and in lyric finish. His own performance is declared by Eastern erities to be a inasteriy bit of pure comedy. 5 office will open for the sale of seats for the new attraction next Thursday. CRANE AT THE OLIMPIC. Mr. Ww. H. Crane, the comedian, opens to- night his engagement at the Olympic in his new play, The American Minister,“ spe- cialiy written for him by Paul M. Potter. „The American Minister’’is Mr. Crane’s tentrance intothe ranksof diplomacy. : fa de of it: „„ Rave played almost everything else in y time, but have never been a diplomat- st. ‘the Senator’ had shown me how Strong was the popular demand for political personr é: i don’t refer to such as are ly burlesque, but to such as have at $t a semblance oi human nature.

Joseph Jetterzon Revives “Rip Van Winkle.“ New Yorn, Oct. 22.—If all New York falls to see Joseph Jefferson acting in ‘‘Rip Van the Star Theater, it willbe simply because the capacity af that place is limited. All the pageants, parades and pyrotechnic displays of the Columbian celebration failed to lessen the throng that nichtly went to see him, while at the other theaters the gross receipts were materially affected. Mr. Jefferson isa survivor of a past generation of great play- ers. But he is popular with tho present gen- eration of theater-goers as he was with the ast. The children think as much of him as id they cf the late Mr. Barnum, and the former personnel of the legation, and we .g00n discovered thatthe unusual things our American Minister was to do would be ne- where so probable as in Rome. If you have read of the disorganization iuto which all the European embassies in Paris were thrown when Mr. Washburne, our Minister, held the fort alone at the beginning of the siege, you can appreciate the disorders that used to be chronic in our legation at Rome, and will un- derstand that itis no stretch of imagination which places a young woman in charge of the cipher code and leaves a youth of 21 in command of a situation tnat might end in war between Italy and the United States. But the supposed cause of war we borrow from contemporary history. The action of our takes lace in the - first a pril, 1, soon after the lynching of Italians inthe parish prison of New Orleans. The plot turns on the theft of a dispatch by a member of the Mafia and on the violent measures he adopts to prevent its recovery. Some Itailians have said that this is less true of Rome than of Naples under the Bourbons and possibly of Palermo to-day. Americans who have been in Rome, even under the pacific rule of King Humbert,know,however, that the capital is as full of revolutionists as in the olden days, and the shooting of the Chief of Police in New Orleans proves , that the habit of assassination has not died out among the baser ltalian element. Mind, our play has wora of ridicule for the peace- artistic, and always beauti- in which its scene is laid; and if its motto is Stephen Decatur’s immor- tal utterance about our country, ' we in- dulge in no spreadeagieism and clap- trap, merely striving to embrace the lesson of good American patriotism without crowing im- properly over a Iriendly nation. Mr. Crane will be seen as the American Minister on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evening and W ednesday matinee, Thursday and Friday evenings he will present The Senator’’ and oa Saturday night On Probation.’’ THE ‘‘PRODIGAL FATHER’’ AT THE HAGAN. To-night the droll comedy, ‘‘The Prodigal Father, will be presented at the Hagan,and every evening until and on Sunday night, Oct. 30. The whiriwina of jollity. One laughs over the predicaments of stanley Dodge, a merry but fashionable old sinner, who has agreed to leave New York City with an exploring party forthe dark forests and jungles of Africa. The vessel and the exploring party sall with- out Dodge, because Dodge has been tothe theatre and has become fascinated witha serio-comic singer named Dollie Bond. Dollie’s charms are too great to with- stand, and Dodge is thrown into a pretty pickle because it is simply impossible for him to explain why he missed going with the ex- ploration party. the plan is formulated by the valet that he shall secrete himself in Nebraska until the expedition shall have returned. This is done. Onthe return of the adventurers Prodigal Stanley Dodge ventures nome and relates his terrible experience in the jungles of Africa. One inthe family circle who disbelleves ulm is Tom Breeze, whois afianced to his daugh- ter Kate. This will never do, so Dodge in getting rid of him tells him that he has promised his dauxhter’s hand to Cook- aboo, one of the native African potentates whom he bas met.

Boniface, Jr., Gas- ton, Cecil Kingstone, Walter Thomas, Walter feugh and the Misses Cora Macy, Blanche Chapman Ford, Hope Ross, Marguerite Franklin and little Virgie Franklin. There will be matinees of ‘‘The Prodiga Father’’ on Wednesday and Saturday, : * ACROSS THE POTOMAC. At Pope’s Theatre this afternoon Augustus Pitou’s company of players begin a weck’s engagement in the military drama, ‘‘Across the Potomac.’’ This romance of the late war is the work of Augustus Pitou and Edward M. Alfriend and achieved a brilliant success in New Yors City last season, Its story is intensely human andinits tell- ing the authors have avoided passing the bounds of possibility. Ihe Baker family of Massachusetts, and the Gariand family of Virginia are closely related by marriage, and at the outbreak of the rebellion these tles are temporarily severed. War, how: ever, serves to reunite them and at its close, the sons and daughters of these two families fre made to play im- portant parts in the drama. Ine leading scenes inthe play are founded upon fact, and are partly the experiences of the authors Who Served as soldiers in this conflict. In the battle scene smokeless puwder and electric shelis will be used. A new electrital sunrise is also introduced. Among Mr. Pitou’s players are Messrs. Boyd, Putnam, Matt B. Snyder, Jonn H. Bunny, Charles Nevins, Gustave Frankel, Charles F. Gotthold, Eduard J. Morgan, Daniel Jarrett, Malcolm Bradley ond isses Henrietta Lauder, Ada Dwyer, Rose Snyder, Vivien Edsall and Harriet Aubrey. The Busch Zougves of this city willappear in the drill and Lattle secnes. ‘ihe famous prize winners, tho Busch Zouaves of this city, under the command of Capt. T. R. Roemer, will appear em the drill and battle scenes of the new war drama, ‘‘Acress the Potomac,’’ during its production at Pope’s Theater. In the drilistene the old Upton Manual will be used. Inthe battle scene the old Spring- field rifle will be employed. It will be u treat to see the Invinciblies make their debut as actors in Manager Pitou’s successful play. A TURKISH BATH’’ AT HAVLIN’S. A Turkish Bath,“ the attraction at Hay- lin’s next weck, is a musical farce comedy, without much of a plot, but made up of plenty of humor and ludicrous situations. The company is made up of clever people. Marie Heath, who is the chief attraction, plays the part of a spoliedchild. Frank Murphy, the Irish comedian, has a part similar to Eddie Girard, and introduces his latest topical suc- cess, Aaron and Moses. ‘The other mem- bers prominent in support, are Henry Vogel, baritone and comedian, late of Alt Baba; James F. Greene, comedian and dancer, late of Oh, Whata Night;’’ Jeppe and Fannie Delano, the society sketch artistes; Miss Jur- ner, lady whistler; Lilly Durham and Fraces Gray. ‘hey have the usual sefpentine and plot is a witted, returns chief, *“taniey Dodde’s homie. He has grown folksare quiteas fond of him as are the children. For the most part, however, Gus Thomas. [From a recent photograph of the St. Louis play- wright who wrote Alabama.] ' play actors have found business during the last fortnight rather dull, and many a good performer has been living on his bank ac- unt if he has one, and the Lord only knows what if he has not. But dramatic oracies are presaging better timesafter the elec- tion. Anumber of English actorsand actresses have recently arrived in town, and are in search ot jobs, but as a general thing they have not been successful. To offset this a number of America’s stage favorites will soon sail for Europe. . Jennie Yeamans has receiveda flattering offer from a London manager, as also has Della Fox, but neither have accepted. ‘*Little Miss Millions’’ has gone the way of ull the earth. It has been withdrawn by Mr. Daly as a failure and retired to the dust and silence of the upper shelf. Dollars and Sense, an excellent comic play, has been put on in its place at Daly’s Theater and has materially increased the volume of fun in the city. Miss Rehan has a delightful role as Phrone Temont. She sings coy little bailads and dances and skips about the stake witha fairy-like grace and agility that is truly mar- velous. Even little Lottie Collins, who has been whirled into temporary popularity on the tips of her toes, is away below par when it comes to gyrating with Miss Rehan. Miss kehan’s song and dance is called Jennie Jones, an adaptation for an old nursery rhyme. she wears a loose, long-sleeved wrapper—white lace skirts, black hose and gaiters with red tops turned down, and the way shecan kick and glide and evolve, It brings the house down and the curtain up at least twice every time. Now that the critics have wearied of abus- ing Pauline Hall, the public has awakened to the fact that asa comie opera artist she has ability, and that the ‘*‘Puritana’’ is a real comic opera and not one of the so-called variety. She has demonstrated that critics sometimes makes mistakes as to merit and she bids fair to close a successful season financially. It was so withthe farce comedy, 12 P. 1. Thecritics scored it most un- mercifully at first, but the people went to see it, and it has gone on the road and made money. DeWoif Hopper's revival of“ The Lady or the Tiger’’ attracted many tothe Broadway Theater Monday night. The programme said it was Sidney Rosenfeldt’s ‘*masterplece.’’ Critics, however, vigorously differea from the programme and declared that it was not. The piece lacked humor and the music was dull, and the peéple who saw it came away ina bad temper. Hallen & Hart will appear at the Four- teenth Street lheater ina few days. They wlll be followed by ‘* Blue Jeans, which now may be called one ofthe ‘‘has beens.’’ It has become baggy atthe knees, as it were, and frayed at the bottom. All the talent who gave the play 4 popular place on the stage have left it andit must soon take to provincial towns and one night stands. - — * LONDON’S STAGE, Success and Failures of the Week Under Review. LONDON, Oct. 22.—The Court Theater re- opened on Thursday night with sims and Ralelgh's The Guardsman.’’ The play 1s based on a motive similar to Sheridan’s „The livals,’’ and deals with the complica- tions and misunderstandings that occurin the course ofa love aifair between a guards- man and an American belle. The couple meet for the first time on the undergound railway. The play is cleverly written and wasadmirably acted. It evoked screams of laughter from opening tofinish, and is cer- tain ofalong career. Mr. Goldsmith scored another hit. Ihe reappé@éarancé of Miss Caroline Hill upon the London stage was warmly welcomed and her acting was praised by the _— critics. Miss Hill had not been seen here since she acted in ‘‘‘ihe Dean’s Daughter’’ at the St. James Theater. Miss Agnes Thomas and Arthur Cecil are also in the caste or ‘*’the Guardsman,’’ „Agatha ‘Tylden’’ (merchant and ship- owner), Mrs. Langtry’s new play, us much more tenderly handled by the critics than was her ‘‘Queen of Manoa,’’ Her role of Agatua Tylden suits her better than anything she has hitherto attempted. Hence her suc- cess is not due to her dresses and diamonds, but to tne genuine merit of her acting. But in the face of the inconsistencies of the play and its apparently unending dialogue reiat- ing tocommerce, shipping and other similar subjects, it is impossible for Agatha Ty! den’’ to have a long run Mr. Tool has returned from his vacation and has resumed his place in the comic play „Walker London, which is now in its eighth month at Jools Thenter. The play is the brightest bitcffun onthe London stage and its drawing power shows no sign of diminution. Yesterday at the Opera (omique, the Inde- pendent Theater society presented Webster’s Duchess of Maltl,’’ under the direction of Mr. Win. Peel, whose version of the play was used and Mr. Paul Berton. It was well Staged, part of the scenery having heen lent by Henry Irving. ‘The cast included Mr. Murray Carson as bosola, Mr. Sydney Barra Clough as Ferdinand, Mr. John Robertson as the Cardinal, Mr. Bernard Gould as Antonio, Miss s. Hall Caine as Carola, /iiss Frances Iver as Julia and Miss Mary Burke as the Duchess. The production created considera- ble interest.

W. Willlams Folly Co. The performance commences with the introduc- tion of the eccentric Irish comedians, the Foy brothers, in hew jokes and cdunces, fol- lowed by the Paristan trio, the Misses Cod. drelli, La Vieve at St. Alban, in their original terpsichorean and high kicking speciaities; Miss Ketta Donnelly; Mattuews and Harris. the comedy duo; the great Richards, the Gardner brothers; the atnlete, A. Van Cofre, and Mr. C. W. Wilijams, ventriloquist. ‘ihe performance closes with a comedy, ‘*Kid- napped,’’ in twoacts, introducing tne entire cow puny. THE GERMANIA’S PROGRAMME.

Janotha says: ‘‘some- times when I was invited to ‘smoke a pipe’— that is how the poet put it—with Lord lenny- son at Aldworth we sang those songs to- gether, It was wonderful to hear Lora Ton- nyson sing. He would manage totake all the notes—tenor; baritone, etc.”’ Mrs. Katherine Fisk, the American con- tralto and member of the Musical Committee of the World’s Fair, is announced to sing at Orystal Palace concerts. The latest report concerning Verdi's new opera is said to have emanated from Senor Botto, the librettist. According to this re- rt the subject of the new work is ‘‘Don uixote,’’ not King Lear“ as rumor form- erly had it. Verdi himself keeps his work absolutely secret. Ttschalokowsky, the Russian composer of . yang Onegin,’’ which Sig. Lago is pre- senting successfully at the new Olympic Theater, is about to produce atthe Imperial Opera-house, St. Petersburg, anew opera called Jolanda, or the Daughter of King Renate.“ Tsehaiokowsky will act as con- duetor of the work. Mr. Abbey has secured the American rights of the sporting drama, the ‘‘Prodigal Daughter,’’ now playing at the Theater Royal, Drury Lane. The intense realism of this play has been described at length -in previous cable letters of this series. Sarah Bernhart will visit Prague, Bosmia, shortly. She will play twice at the Czech National Theater. Messrs. Bessey have, itissaid, taken the Globe ‘theater for their season of holding English and French operas. Mr. Guan Caryil is to have the manage- ment and Miss Nesfleld, who created the part of Miss Decima at the Criterion and bas won some reputation at Paris, has been engaged as prima donna. The first rehearsal has not yet been held, but it is hoped to open the theater on Oct. 21. One of the features of the season will be a revivai of the Grand Duchess;’’ itis said Miss Geraldine Ulmer will probably sustain the principal part. These are days of the dispersion of the great libraries. Following bard upon the Althorpe sale comes news of the approaching auction ofthe great Apponyi library, belonging to the Hungarian Count of that name, This collection comprises some of the rarest known to be extant. Among other treasures is a copy of the earliest edition of the famous Biblia Polyglotta. The printing was be- gun in 1502 and was only finished in 1518. But the result fully justified the careful and con- scientious labor bestowed upon it. The poly- giot Bible derives un additional interest from the fact thatthe New Testament was printed in it in Greek for the first time. It is said that there are only eight or ten copies of this famous edition extant to-day. - — * “THE QUEEN OF MANOA” Mrs. Lanstry’s New Play Is Chiefly Re- markable for Its New Gowns. Written for the SUNDAY PoOstT-DiIsSPATCH. Itis pretty generally considered in London that Mrs. Langtry’s new play, The Queen of Manoa,’’ has merely placed the Lily be- before the publicin four new gowns—and in another fallure. The gowns are artistic, however, if the play is not, and they have drawn fo the Haymarket Theater a great many women, who sit patiently through the weary acts because they enjoy the flash of the Langtry’s jewels, and find entertainment of a*high order in looking at her clothes and speculating as to their cost. The English papers say that the analyzing attitude of the Queen of Manoa, her chilly commonplaces and her didactic virtues have been anticipated in Thackery’s famous bDal- lad, and that this 1s the story of the new play, in brief: Werther bad a love for Charlotte, Such as words could never utter. Would you know how he first met her? She was cutting bread and butter. So he sighed and pined and ogled, And his passion boiled and bubbled, Till he biew his silly brains out, And no more by it was troubied. Charlotte having seen his body Borne before her on a shutter, Like a well-conducteda person Went on cutting bread and butter. In the drama, however, when the fatuous lover falls into the Thames, Mrs. Langtry promptly falls backward in the same way, andthe audience is well satisfied that she should go. But the costumes deserve description, and here they are: Her first dress is very pecultar. It is made ofa deep daffodil-hued satin, with « skirt adorned with two panels separating from waist to hem to display an underskirt edged With a deep glittering fringe of crystal, in- terspersed with silver,the panels themselves being exquisitely embroldered in large flat crystals and strings of tiny silver beads. The corsage is cut into three points outlined with the glittering beads and resting amidst filmy folds of lace is a draped berthe of pale pink velvet. The short sleeves are composed of a few folds of this velvet, while on the left shoulder is poised a yellow bird of paradise, and round the waist is draped a sash of tan-colored velvet, tied intoa short bow in the center of the back. Why this sash is of tan-col- ored velvet one has not the least idea, but the effect is eminently artistic. The second gown is very simple, just a white flowered foulard with a velvet band of greenish brown,and velvet epaulettes on the shoulders, terminating in small rosettes. The hat she wears with this is made of pale colored straw, lined underneath with pale pink, and it nas a flat crown covered with soft green leaves. Her style of coiffure will no doubt be copied as much as ever, it looks so beautifulin its great, huge coil far below the nape of the neck. Choral Symphony Society. The Executive Committee of the Choral Symphony Society, in addition tothe engage- ment of Miss Emma Juch for the first con- cert, have secured for the Ohristmas rendi- tion of the ‘‘Messiah,’’ Miss Corinne Moore Lawson, soprano; Mrs. Adele Laels Baldwin, whose marriage a few years agotoa New York gentleman deprived one of the St. Louis church choirs of one of the sweetest and sympathetic of altos.

A party of young men occupied a box at the Garden Theater at the celebration of the one hundredth performance of La Cigale’’ in New York.

The flaming ints are studded with small stones and the lameter of the whole is four inches. The large stone has a history, like all Dig diamonds, and was found by a Dutchman in the Kimberly Mines. He sold it to a Kaffir farmer, who had forsaken his tribe to deal in precious stones, and who was killed by his brother, who coveted it. Finally it appeared in the sword hilt of an Indian Rajah,and, being taken during a tribal war, fellintothe hands of a Dutch of- ficer, who was the chamberlain of the victor. The Czar of Russia next had the diamond and it was given by himtothe wife of oneof his officers. who when her husband was ban- ished for political offenses, sold it toa Per- sian dealer, who in turn sent itto Mr. Seaies for sale on commission. With all this history the fair Lillian ought to be proud of the dia- mond aside from its intrinsic worth. The names of the donors are withheld, He Roused the Red Men. Holding the mirror up to nature has been poetically defined asthe actor’s art, but he not infrequently does it in such a manner that the audience has much difficulty in de- ciding exactly what he is endeavoring to re- filect. The experience which Mr. George C. Boniface, Jr., of the Prodigal Father company, recently enjoyed through over-correctness on this point is both odd and Interesting. In his assumed character of a civilized African savage whose anger wakes the blood of his ancestors to sucha dégree that the veneer of civiiization temporarily vanishes, he executes what purports to be the long- forgotten war-dance of his tribe. This outburst is one of the principal incl- dents of act III., and Mr. Boniface labored hard during rehearsals to turn out some- thing in the terpsichorean line which would be both unique and effective. ‘Though the result of his efforts was a continuous roar during the scene on the opening nicht. Bont- face was not satisfied and experimented with new dances at every opportunity. In due time the play passed into the land of the one-night stand and entertained the dwellers in that mysterious bourne where bleach the lithographs oi untold snap attrac- tions and Painted Post is regarded as a metropolis. During the day Boniface was quite fre- quently missed, and rumor among the com- pany had it that he had been seen consorting with various shop-worn samples of the noble red man that are to be found about rallroad stations in the hectic West. Later on, several members of the company who chanced to occupy rooms beneath him at night stops, told of strangely timed foot- steps that had resounded from the ceiling during the small hours, accompanied by weird grunts and snorts. Whether Boniface’s brains were softening, or whether he adopted this method of reliev- ing a bad attack of indigestion, remained an open question with the company. At the performance two nights later the mystery was solved. Far up in the gallery of the theater sat a double row of truly good Indians—gentile Blackieet—who had come to town to draw their rations and incidentally make bonded liquor vaults of themselves. The piay progressed. The Indians, muffled in their brannigans and blankets, remained statuesquel Silent. His big scene was reached and Boniface worked up to it with terrific energy. George Denham, who as the prodigal father shares it with him, respond- ed splendidly and the laughter was cycionic, wow, whoop!’’ howled Boniface, giving an exact reproduction of the yell that brought terror to the heart of many a pioneer in the old days on the plains. A wave of emotion passed through the Blackfeet. ‘*Ugh, ugh! Oosh, oosh, oosh!’’ snorted the comedian breaking into a bona nde Blackfoot scalp dance around the prostrate Denham. Wow! Woop!’’ came from the gallery and bending with eager interest far over the benches the redmen echoed the cries of Boni- face as he gyrated madly around the stage. So great was the subsequent excitement that the curtain had to be dropped ten min- utes ahead of time. After the performances twenty-four queer 38 figures met Boniface at the stage oor. ‘*Ugh!’’ remarked the first, Tou dance like real brave!“ Think um worth drink,’’ suggestec the other twenty-three. After sundry rounds of the local nitric acid, Boniface left two dozen of the staunchest friends that auy actor ever won through honest artistic endeavor. Coulisse Chat.

Special Vorrespondence SUNDAY Tosr-Disraron. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 22.—Few Kepub- licans really belteved that the Miner law, by E wien the presidential electors of the State of Michixan are to be chosen, not by the vote of the State at large, but by the Con- Sressional Districts, was unconstitutional. But the decision of the Supreme Court de- Claring that each State can select its electors as the Legislature of that State may direct has finally settled the matter. Ihe result of the change in the Michigan law wili be that for the first time in many years the electoral vote ot a State will be divided between two Presidential candidates. The Democrats claim that they wiil carry s!x or seven of the Congressional districts. The Republicans generally admit that four of the votes thet would have gone to Harrison had it not veen for the change in the law will now be given to the Democratic nominee. REPUBLICANS ANXIOUS, But what has been done does not trouble the Republicans nearly so much as what may be done in the future. There is nothing to prevent a Democratic Legislature that has temporarily secured control of the Legislature ot a State safely Republican in presidential years trom passing a simtlar law. Had the Ohio Legisiature done so a number of the votes of that State would surely go to Cleve- land in November. The same is true of IIII. mois. The Republicans could not give tit for tat, for in the certainly Democratic States they are not likely to obtain control of the Legit \ture in off years, and would gain nothing if they did, for these States send Solid Democratic delegations to Congress. THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE. The system by which the President 1s elected is in consequence loudly denounced, and many politictans are discussing the possibility of doing away with the electoral college entirely. It certainly 1s A cumbrous, and, under modern political a ~ CORVitions, a dangerous method of electfng a Chief Magistrate. vision is as follows: Each State shall appoint in euch manner as the Legislature thereof may direct a number of electors equal tothe whole numberof Senators and RKepre- sentatives to which the State may be entitled in ngtess, but no senator or Kepresentative or per- So, holding an office of trast or protit under the United States s Hall be appointed au elector. The electors shail meetin their respective States and vote by baliot for President and Vice-President, ene of whom at least shall not bean inhabitant of the same state with themselves: they shall name in their baliots the persons voted foras President and in distinct ballots the * voted for as Vice- resident, and they shall make distinet sists of al! Orsuns voted for as President arid of all persous ted for as Vice-President and ef tie number of votes for cach. A CHANGE OF SYSTEM. The practice Inregard to the election of the President has drifted far from the inten- tion oi the makers of the constitution. When the section in question was adopted deiegate conventions for the nomination of a Prest- dent had never been thought of, in fact this system was not fully adopted until 1832. It ~ WAS supposed that each State wo ld choose electors, and then that these electors would vote for the man that they deemed best fitted for the office, in fact thatthe electoral col- lege would be a select body to which should be intrusted the choice ofa.president. This idea was never carried into effect, the electors voting as their con- etituents desired, Hut in the early history of the country they were not the mere clerks that they have since become. ‘there are a number of instances in which the electoral vote of a State has been divided. In 1824 New York was entitled to thirty-six votes. Adams received twenty-five, Clay seven and Craw. ford four. The vote of New Jersey has fre- qguentiy been divided. In the contest Burr and Jefferson, one Maryland elector did not vote, and this vote was lost. The same thing occurred subsequeitiy in Kentucky, and in 1864 Nevada lost a vote in consequence of the death of an elector. Instances of this kind As & matter of fact, the eléctors have full power to vote as they ease, irrespective of the ticket on which hey were elected. Of late years independ- ent voting nas veen unknown, but the voters have only the honor of the electors to rely on to insure that their preference for President Will be respected. There is nothing in the law to prevent an elector chosen by a Cleve- land state from casting his vote for Harrison and the vote would have to be counted as cast. The constitutional pro- DANGERS OF BRIBERY. Many seein this a dangerous opening for @ work of the bribe-giver. Where the ma- phy f of a candidate in the Electoral Col- ge is large, of course, tt would bea practi. cai impussibility to thus defeat the will of the people, but Where the margin is small the ease might well be different. In the contest 01 1876 Hayes had 185 electoral votes and 1. dep 164. The corrupt change of a single vote, not necessarily tathe Democratic candidate, butto any third man, would have thrown the election into the House of Representa- tives, and have insured the election of III. den, as the Democrats controlled in Congress @ majority of the States, and in an election y the House of Kepresentatives each state, rrespective of population, is entitled to one vote. It would be dificult to put a limit to the sum Whicha lepublican elector who had #iven it to be understood tn the proper quarters that he would, for a consideration, refuse to vote for the Kepubiican candidate might have 0 „A million dollars would be a moderate estimate. Noone was found who was willing to thus become wealthy and in- mous, and the United States was saved om the disgrace of having the office of chief executive sold at auction, but it was freely charged at the time that more tua one po joe ay been approached and large sums red t a vote against the wishes of his constituents should be cast. That legislators have for money bribes from one part to another is proved by the notorious in stance inthe New York Legislature, where roots | the days of the Tweed ring the con- of the Legisiature was secured by that by the 1 r to a Republi. c resentutive, has never occur- sea in the electoral college, but the possi- bility of its occurrence is one of the strongest arguments for the abolition of that body. re ANOTHER DANGER, / There is another danger connectéd with the sent method of electing a president, and that is that by some accident the electors of a State might prevented from casting their vote on the da required by law. In 1856 there was a severe snowstorm in Wisconsin which prevented the electors from assembl ing at the State Capitol on the day fixed, and their vote was not cast until the day after, As it happened this vote was not decisive, and no question as to its legality was raised, but it is the opinion of many lawyers that If challenged it would have been thrown out as egal.

I was sure that there ‘Was another Gray. Yes, he had been, I nd, supported in academy, college, uni- ‘Versity and in travel by the thrift and trade ot two women who biindly believed that in time he would astonish the world with the product of his genius. Like Gray he never dence at Stoke Poges old Stoke Hall was the | home of Lady Cobham, whose antics to secure acquaintance and subsequent friendly inter - course with the shy poet, who then lived with his mother and aunt In West End cot- tage, about a mile distant, are preserved in the romantic incidents so felicitously related in Gray’s facetious poem of the Long Story. The new Stoke Hall was built by John Penn from designs by Wyatt. It is chiefly of brick, stuccoed, and comprises a large square cen- ter and two wings. The entrance front is ornamented by a colonnade of ten Doric columns, approached by imposing flights of steps, leading to the famous oval central Marble Hall. The south front, also adorned with a colonnade,has twelve fluted Doric col- umns and is 196 feet in length. Many visitors here mistake the old manor house at the north of the church for Gray’s former home. It is a beautiful and picturesque half ruin, occupied by the keener of stoke Park. Its chimneys are the largest Ihave seen in any old English manor house, andthere are un- doubtedly to-day more bricks in these ivy- covered mementoes of old-time cheer than were originally required in the entire con- struction ofthe walls. James Penn built the modest, yet noted mansion of Solitude, still standing on the bank of the Schuylkill, opposite Fair- mont, in Philadelphia. Much of the revenue from remaining Pennsylvania! Proprietary’’ interests was expended here. Vast sums were used upon new Stoke Hall and its library, statuary and paintings. lle also rescued from oblivion the actual burial place of Gray, by placing the memorial slab against the church wall, beneath the vestry Thousands who have read Tennyson's great epic, the ‘‘Idylis of the King’’ have found naught therein buta beautiful legend, gracefully told. Some critics assert that it is the greatest English epic since the days of Milton,. but neither critics, reviewers or students of the late laureate’s poem seemed to guess that the strong, sweet words telling of the chivalrous deeds of King Arthur and the knighthood errant of his Round Table were fraught with a mystic meaning, the keynote of which is the war of time and the grosser elements of human nature with the spiritual element in man, Arthur, the spotless king, typ!fying the soul. Mr. Conde Benoist Pallen of this city, the well-known editor, polemical writer and litterateur, by repeated readings of the Idylls at length caught the drift of the poet’s meaning. He submitted his interpretation to the author and received from him a compliment on his insight. The poem is essentially a study of human nature in which all the passions are treated with an ennobling touch. Those who are un- familiar with it will, with the aid of Mr. Pal- len’s interpretation, find in its perusal a rich intellectual treat. Those who have already read it will turn back to it with deeper in- sight and reawakened interest. The SUNDAY Post-DISPATCH presents to-day Mr. Pallen’s own explanation of the meaning of the ‘*Idylis of the King’’ and a fac simile of Lord Tennyson’s autograph letter complimenting him thereon. the warring passions; each desired to rule his own, and preferred the strifeof carnal license to the unity of spiritual liberty. None know of Arthur’s birth and most doubt. Some few, as Bedivere, Ulfius, Brastias and Bellicent, believe in him as true King, but their acceptance of him is on faith. Whilst Leodogran is debating within him- self the legitimacy of Arthur, Bellicent comes to Cameliard and tells the King at his request what she knows of Arthur’s coming and bow In simple words of great authority, Hejvound his Knights By so straight vows to his own self, That when they rose knightea from kneeling, some Were pale as at the passing of a ghost. Some flushed and others dazed, as one who wakes Half blinded at the coming of the light. And when he speaks large, divine and comfortable words“ to them in order to confirm them in thelr vows, she beholds: From eye to eye through all their order flash A momentary likeness of the King; And ere it left their faces, through the cross And those around it and the Crucified, Down from the casement over Arthur, smote Flame color, vert and azure, in three rays, And falling upon each of three fair Queens, Who stood in silence near his throne, the friends Of Arthur, gazing on him, tall, with bright, Sweet faces who will help him at his need, Merlin was there And near him stood the Lady of the Lake, Who knows a subtler magie than his own, Clothed in white samite, mystic, wonderful; She gave the King his huge, cross-hilted sword, Whereby to drive the heathen out; a mist Of incense curled about her, and her face Well nigh was hidden in the minster gloom; But there was heard among the holy hymns A voice as of the waters, for she dwelis Down in a deep calm, whatsoever storms May shake the world, and, when the surface rolls, Then his dream changes and the solid earth disappears,and the erst phantom King stands out the only reality of all, standing in heaven crowned,’’ In Leodogra have the turmolls and strife of life, the flerce vision, poisoning the atmosphere, whilst and the dust of contest laid, ana the smoke out in his glory, a crowned King, abiding presence where all else has perished.

Onthe death of John Penn, Stoke Manor was inherited by his younger brother, Gran- ville Penn, who died at Stoke in 1844, He was an author and was admitted to be one of the best learned English laymen of his time. His oldest son, Granville John Penn, not only ‘trestored’’ but practically rebuilt Gray’s house, West End Cottage, on the West End road. It was converted into a sumptuous Elizabethan mansion with every accessory of ornament and beauty. In 1850 it was sold to a gentleman named Darby, but was afterwards purchased by A. Allhausen, Esq., whose family and heirs still possess it, and with it the right of use of the Gray family pew in the southwest corner ofthe south aisle of the old Stoke Voges church. A curious illustration of the decadence of great families, as well as of vast fortunes even in England, is found in the final ex- tinction ofthis the most eminent branch of the Penn family, and the diversion of their once great estates. Every one is familiar with the escheating of William Penn’s American possessions, in which the ‘‘estate of the late proprieta- ries was vested in the Commonwealth,“ the payment dy Pennsylvania of £130,000 sterling to the devisees and legatees, in remembrance of the enterprising spirit of the Founder,’’ and the granting by the English parllament, in 179), of anannulty ot 44,000 to his heirs and descendants. All this was in addition to the rich En- giish possessions of the Penns, which in- cluded the manor of Stoke. And yet on March 29, 1867, Granville John Penn, lord of the manor of Stoke, died in his chalr with an unsigned will in his hands. All his proper- ties were inherited by his brother, Thomas. That gentleman, who wasinclerical orders andaman of extraordinary learning, was ‘®arneda penny; his unconscious winsome- ‘Bess conquered all; his learning was vast; and his tndolence was astounding. He had '» spent a lifetime in exhausting the historic, » ~ Belentitic and philosophic researches and > product of others. He left tons ot begin- » Mings of great endeavors.

His devotion to research ' seemed an endless intoxication of acguire- ment for the thing or fact encompassed, rather than that healthful acquisition of "> knowledge for the uses to which it may be wisely put. * Precisely as with thousands of so-called scholars in our own time, he allowed study and learning-getting to become a disease, instead of making it subservient to wise liv- ingand noble accomplishment.

The picture here presented to us is replete with meaning. First we have a spiritual organization affected by the Knights swear.- ing their vows tothe spiritual man, and be- coming like to him because of the vows that lifted them up to his great desire and purpose Whilstthe vow still trembied on the lip, from above comes a three-colored WDE IW iW WIT WW Wai W i ou affections, the will and the intellect in unison the goal of perfection; and justice reigning the spiritual man. Dagonet in the ‘‘Last Tournament’’ calis it ‘‘Arthur’s Music,’’ the soul’s harmony with the true and good, But all this is soon to be broken by a hideous discord. The first jar comes in the sinof the Queen and Lancelot; the flesh rebels against the spiritual dominion ofthe soul, and in seeking its carnal gratification breaks the bond of union. Then follows the sin of Tristam and Isolt. ‘‘Then others, drawing foul ensample from fair names, sinned also.“ The passions are let loose from the . bridle of restraint. One defection succeeds another, treachery, treason and war quickly follow; peace dies and strife agaln is born. The spiritual klug dom is broken up, for there is rebellion in the flesh. We will not trace the course of this pollu- tion, but turn fora hasty glance atthe closing picture of the ‘‘Passing of Arthur.’’ The smouldering fires of treason have at length broken into the lurid fame of rebellion and the King is about to fight his last great fight before he passes. Arthur is forewarned of his coming departure by the Ghost of Gawain, who, blown Along a wandering wind ana past his ear Went shrilling, Hollow. hollow, all delight! Hail, King! to-morrow thou shalt pass away. Farewell, there is an isle of rest for thee.’’ This is Gawain, ‘‘light of love, and faith- less to his word, forever blown about upona wandering wind and, like Dante’s Francesca, bewalling that irrevocable past, which he once reveled in as the very substance of life, and now finding its emptiness moans out the vanity of the world, But to Arthur, the spiritual man, who has ever stood firm in the midst of the shocks of the conflict round him he promises rest and passgs on with his wall of perpetual sorrow. l MR.

Written for the SUNDAY PostT-DISPATCH. - The cholera scare has so completely died out in New York it is hard for us to realize that both the scare and disease are still prevalent in Russia. The Emperor and Em- press of that country have been visiting hos- pitals and patients, which, perhaps, is a very fine thing for them to do. Recently, bow ever, their sabjects have been shedding tears of admiration over a little incident which may not strike democratic Americans in the same way. A sister of charity who had been nursing cholera patients has herself fallen a victim tothe disease. The Empress visited her, complimented her on prospective recov- ery, and kissed her. The European press has been talking about that kiss ever since—al- ways admiringly. American women may be lacking in sentiment and appreciation of the truly beautiful, but it will be very dim cult or them to see anything wonderful or praiseworthy inthisact. Ifthere is a time when one is distinctly not kissable it is when one has cholera. There was nothingto be gained by Empressor nun unless the latter experienced a snobbish satisfaction in the attention of the Czarina. And Sisters of Charity are not made that way.

But youcould not make one thin little volume of 100 pages com- fortably filed with what Thomas Gray’s great genius left to posterity for its own monument, The thirty - two stanzas of the „Elegy, the brief Norse poem called The Fatal sisters.“ The Bard,“ on a Distant Prospect of Eton College’’ and perhaps a half dozen sonnets, altogether not 1,000 lines, com- prise ail that would have ever interested the world at large, which after all is the finalarbiter of either true poetry or prose, for Gray’s lovable; interesting, It is no doubt also true that had he not written the ‘‘Elegy’’ his place in the bi- Ographies would have been no more than Thomas Gray, erudite annotator, accom- sur- in- Walpole.’’ Because his through the blessed cident of rural inspiration, for once burst the fetters of sodden bookish en- slavement and its consequent physlcal in- dolence, he attained fame and left us our most perfect revelation of tenderest emotions and introspections to the universal human heart. The malignancy of Johnson is quite forgiven for the one honest sentence he ever wrote about Gray: Had Gray written often cautankerous master of ‘words, it had been vain to blame and useless to praise him. For these and other reasons the one place in all the world, Stoke Poges, which prompted a single incomparable example litera- away from the books, of Horace passing genius, ture had he been shut deadening influence of Cambridge and perhaps compelied to earn his own ing, becomes doubly interesting. Be- sides, the poet resided here for frequent fntervais from 1742 to 1759. His grave A stupendous monument stands almost within sight of his old home. The Very church in which he worshipped and the churchyard rendered dear to the hearts of all men by his melodious, mournful elegy, re- main to-day just as he saw and knew them in life. The place, toa, has some historic im— portance, andthe manor of Stoke Park was once the home of the descendants of William Penn, many of whom are buried in the family Vault in the nave of the mossy old church. But, better than all else, you will find the place a marvelous revelation of the elegy, as you have already felt the elegy to bea perfect interpretation of those exquisite emotions which only the rarest scene and associative Condition can impart. Our New World af- fections cling very tenderly to certain Old World shrines. They fold aboutthema filmy glamor of loving idealty, and cradle them in the soft and misty corries of the heart. I can recall but few which are not better for the distant, sightless lullaby, and this is one. Stoke Pogesisa thinly settled Village ora thickly settled sylvan parish of Buckingham- shire, not over twenty-five miles west or London and about two miles north of the subsequently declared insane and incapable of managing his estates. These passed into the tentacles of that great English octopus, the Chancery Court, and finally, after the death of the un- fortunate Thomas, gotinto the possession of William stuart, a gentlemanof Alden- ham Abbey, in the shireof Herts. To-day the Penns of Stoke Poges are no more. The romping children of a country squire have banished the tender wraiths that peopled the home and haunts of Gray at West End Cottage; while the lord of the manor—whose parkkeeper now uses ‘asa larm house the anclent home of the Cob- hams the Cokes and the lor.ily house of Hast- ings, where Queen Elizabeth was royally en- tertained, and whose own present princely | habitation was once the palatial seat of the | Penns—is a maker of matches in London. plished translator and some time companion | eg Still no one can come tothe sweet old place without being touched by the tender spirit of repose which broods not alone upon Stoke Poges church and churchyard, upon the entire Stoke manor where, half hidden be- neath sylvan shades, appears the very place where the poet lived and sang, the pictur- esque old ruin where once disported lords and ladies and even royalty itséif, andthe grander seat of the Penns, but upon the entire historic parish. All its environment strangely stirs the heart and memory. Over to the south is royal Windsor through whose successive epochs the whole vast book of English history may be written, from the Victorian era to the time of Arthur, his knights and the Round Table. Milton wrote his ‘*L’Allegro’’ at Horton, just below. Coop- er’s Hill, consecrated tothe muse of Den- nam, is nearer still. Herschel made his first great discoveries in astronomy in that old red brick mansion just beyond Slough on the highway to Windsor. Edmund Burke and Edmund Waller lived near Beaconsfield. Not two hours’ walk distant is the of Willlam Penn, and = quite are the famous Burnham beeches, discovered by Gray himself when upon his first visittothe region which his genius was destined to make one of the best- loved spots of earth. I visited these as will all who come to this spot where the ‘‘Elegy’’ was written. But no pen can again so deli- clously tellof Burnham Beeches and the lan- guid, lazy, easy-going Gray himself, as did Gray’sin this Wit from one of his charming letters to his friend Horace Walpole: My uncle is a great hunter in imagina- tion; his dogs take up every chair in the house, sol am forced to stand at the present writing, and though the gout forbids his gal- loping after them in the field, yet he con- tinues still to regale his ears and nose with their comfortable noise and stink. He holds mo mighty cheap, I perceive, for walking when I should ride, and reading when I should hunt. My comfort amidst all this is, that I have ata distance of half a mile, through a green lane, a forest (the vulgar call ita common), all my own, at least as good asso, for I spy no hu- and depth of meaning, is revealed far beyond whatis commonly supposed to be their con- tents. Likeastring of pearls, each of which is individually independent ofthe other, yet bound together by the same strand, each shedding its oon bDbrilillancy, yet blending its lustre with that of its neighbor, together they flash out in unison a color and fire such as would be wholly lost were they separated. Each dis- tinctly possesses its own value and beauty but this is enhanced a hundred fold in the common bond of unity. What this is we shall learn best from the poems themselves, taking only three of them to illustrate our meaning. These three shall be the first: The „Coming of Arthur;’’ one intermediate, „Gareth and Lynette,’’ and the last of all, the Passing of Arthur.’’ zefore the coming of Arthur discord reigned in Britain; there was neither jaw nor peace; internal strife from within and war fromthe heathen without. That central, all- permeating idea, to which we have just how referred, as we shall see more fully in the de- velopment, isthe moral unity which flows from Arthur's spiritual nature, by which he overcomes the discord within, the heathen without, and establishes a Kingdom under one head, to whom all else is subject. Before thecoming ofthe spiritual man there was perpetual petty war between the passions of manand himself as to which should gain dominion. The passions predominated, and so the beast grew stronger ln him, while the man grew less and less. Not till Arthur came, subjugating the lower to the higher, the carnaltothe spiritual, creating the order of the Round Table, which is the organized life of the spiritual man, wasa Kingdom founq wherein one was King and all others subjects. Arthur goes to the assistance of Leo dogran, King of Camellard, who ; Sent to him saying: Arise and help us thou, For here between the man and beast we die.“ When Arthur comes tothe land of Leodo- gran he there sees Guinevere, the King’s daughter, and Felt the light of her eyes into his life Smite on the sudden; And, Passing thence to battle felt Travail and throes and agontes of life, Desiring to be joined with Guinevere. Here is the spiritual element, in so far as the human soul has been created for union with the body, evincing its natural tendency to be joined with that boay for which, in the natural order, it is destined. Arthur then thinks to himself: — — — light in three rays, falling upon each of three fair queens, Charity, Hope and Faith, ac- cording to their respective colors, flame, vert and azure, They are Arthur’s friends, the three theological. virtues, who are to help the soul in its need. Merlin is there, but more especially noticed the Lake, typifying religion, sesses a subtler magic even than Merlin’s. She gives to Arthur his brand Excalibur, wherewithto drive the heathen out—thatistosay, it is religion who gives who pos- the soul the spiritual weapons wherewith to war againstthe passions and hell, typified by the heathen. Excalibur is to be used and then cast away, but not until the soul leaves its earthly tenement, after which it nolonger has need of a weapon. Let us here consider the description of the image of the Lady of the Lake’’ as it is sculptured on the gates of Camelot in Gareth and Lynette:’’ And there was no gate like it under heaven; For barefoot on the keystone, which was lined And rippled like an ever fleeting wave, The Lady of the Lake stood, all her dress Wept from her sides as water flowing away; But like the cross her great and goodly arms Stretched under all the cornice and upheld: And drops of water fell from either hand; And down from one a sword was hung, from one A censer, either worn with wind and storm; And o’er her breast floated the sacred fish; And in the space to left of her and right Were Artbur’s wars in weird devices done, New things and old, co-twisted, as if Time Were nothing, so inveterately that men Were giddy gazing there; and over all, High on the top, were those three queens,the friends Of Arthur who should help him at his need.“ Itis scarcely necessary to make any com- ment on this passage. It speaks for itself. The upholding arms of the Lady of the Lake’’ signify the sustaining power of re- ligion in the social and spritual order; the water flowing from her hand, absolution, the suspended sword, her spritual weapon, the censer, prayer; and the sacred fish, the ancient Christian symbol of Christ. Arthur’s wars in the spaces to her right and legt typifythe soul’s battles with time; the three queens above, Faith, Hope and Charity, the theological virtues. After Bellicent describes to Leodogran the founding of the Round Table she narrates the story which the dying Bleys told of Arthur’s coming; how to him and Merlin standing uponthe beach of a stormy night a babe was wasned up-from the deep, whom Merlin caught up in his arms crying: »The King! Here is an heir for Uthur? “ Merlin, when questioned by Bellicent as to the truth of this tale, answered her in ‘‘rid- dling triplets of old times.’’ Rain, rain and sun! <A rainbowin the sky! with its true Homeric proportions. and Becivere alone remain upon the scene. vere to throw his brand Excalibur into the is the Lady of Then follows the great battle in the West Arthur Arthur, sorely wounded, commands Sir Beal- lake andthen report to him what happens. After belng twice faithless through tempta- tion of the riches in the hilt, Bedivere flings Excalibur into the mere and reports to Arthur: Then with both hands I fiung him, wheeling him; But when I looked again, behold! an arm, Clotned in white samite, mystic, wonderful! That caught him by the hilt and brandished him Three times and drew him underneath the mere. The soul’s spiritual weapon, by which it had smitten its enemies in the battle of life,is returned to religion, the Lady ofthe Lake; for no longer is there need of it on the long journey to that ‘‘isle of rest,“ Arthur ts borne by Bedlvere to the shore, where lies a black barge, whose Decks are dense with stately forms, Black-stoled, black-hooded, like a dream; by these Three queens with crowns of gold. These are the three Queens who should help Arthur at his need; the three theological vir- tues now cometo the assistance of the soul passing to the eternity beyond. Bedivere, at the King’s command, places him in the barge, whence Arthur addresses him before departing: a The old order changeth yielding places new, And God fulfills himself in many ways, Lest one good custom should corrupt the world. The time has come when the soul must pass from the old order—life in the flesh—to the new order beyond space and time. The barge moves slowly from the shore, and finally vanishes beyond the horizon to Bedivere, Straining his eyes beneath an arch of hand. He has passed; the spiritual fight is over, And the new sun rose, bringing the new year, CONDE BENOIST PALLEN, The Laureate’s approval places beyond cavil the correctness of the critic’s interpre- tation.

I learned that it is no more true tnat these “uttle dolis, these artists in embryo, are the support of their families, than that they are the children of the figurantes (or super * numerarles of the stage). While at the opera scene-shifters and musicians in the orchestra, box-openers and chorus singers zealously vie with one another in urging their chllaren to dance ana, at the pleased to see all these children, whom it considers its own, coming into Mile. Theo- dore's classes; ; quite the opposite is the case In the spectacular theaters, where daughters of figurantes, dressers and box-openers are rare. There is not the least desire, and rightl to aamſt young girls of Goubtful character, who would quickly contrive to corrupt the entire company, or at least to injure their discipline. No pretense oftrainfhg up great artists is made; figurantes are wanted most of all, figurantes, itistrue, who dance acceptably, but who pertorm many duties and are ready for transfermations of every kind. They are trained wonderfully well, too. At the Gaite Mlle. Mariguita, a retired dancer, whoheld first rank at Covent Garden, and who puts a ballet on thestage with the skill of a Merante, and, atthe Chatelet, M. Bal- bDiani, give courses and organize classes, re- ceiving into them little girls of 8 years,whom the theater pays with comparative liber- ality. At the opera children receive nothing. They study four or five years for glory. Oc- cassionally, when they skate in the Pro- phete’’ or impersonate gnomes in the Freyschutz.“ they are honored with forty sous an evening. At the Gaite, at the Chatelet, the little women ars paid regular salaries; thirty francs a month, without counting their extra pay, which varies from ten sous to two francs, according to the importance of their roles. The first of the month they receive both perquisites dnd fixed salary at the desk, like regular employgs. There is no middle- man for them, happily! In three-quarters ofthe theater the chief ngurante pays the restevery evening and, at the same time, always makes his little commissions. He keeps out six sous from every twenty—for the poor of course, or for the expenses of the office! After ten years of this business the excellent man en- ters his income in a ledger and owns three or four villaain the outskirts of Paris; he is usually mayor of a suburban commune or captain of the fire company; in his old age he is decorated with a violet ribbon, as are teachers, planists, clerks in the ministry, negro Kings and actors in the second Theatre Francais. We will see him inthe Chamber of , Deputies one of these days. Our little girls havea situation then, and not of the poorest. Kind either. As soon as they really come upon the stage, after two or three year's of probation, their wages may be raised as high as sixty francs a month. How many poor seamstresses have less! And what is more, all the time they are learning their profession they are learning other thmgs, too, at least ian nearly all the theaters; almost everywhere they are given the first elements of an education in the the- ater itself. they will know how to read, write and keep accounts by the time they are 12 or l4 years of age. Truly, their directors’ gare angels. If I werea member ofthe acad- emy I would gladly offer them the Monthyon prize. And they are liberal, too! When I think thak, at the Follies Bergere, the smallest of the dancing giris receives 180 francs a month without the least property to fursish; that, atthe Gaite and atthe Chatelet, as in Lon- don, those who receive 400 vr 500 francs are not rare; that men, too, are paid in like pro- portion, lam amazed at this munificence, and, with a slight feeling.of melancholy, catch myself regretting trousers worn out on college benches and hours lost in communing witha lot of old men called Virgil, Homer or Bossuet. Who knovs to what heights I might have raised myself by my muscle if, under a kind and intelligent mas ter, I had devoted my- if to the science of frisking about, the Cience of such people as Vestris, the famous tallan dancer. In imitation of Pluque and of Soria I would instruct duchesses in the majestics of the pavyan. I-would brandish the ballet-master's Ha ton in place ofa’ Hansen; or, at least, as my ancestor Villon says: 1 Vould have a house and a soft bed.“ Ah, no; I am a vyriter; it breaks my heart. Let us return to our goblins, our ghosts, our pages and our little trotters in the Paris- jan dance. As I have told you, they are ex- ercised every day in graceful capers dnd light.pironettes, and in tho magnificent bal- Jet. Since all theaters have not, like the Opera, the luxury of a large place under the roofforthis special purpose, our little ones spend two hours on the stage every morning executing the fiDe elementary movements of the dance to the uncertain sounds of a piano which replaces the ‘sonorous voices of brass instruments and the sharp notes of violins. Then, excited by the exercise, warm and ravenously hungry, they tumultuously leave the stage and, with shining eyes and rosy cheeks, rush into the lodge of a smoky back shop Where their fathers, stern house- porters or tradesmen keep their household gods. Are they tradesmen’s daughters? It cannot be possible! Improbable, perhaps, but it 18 true, and nothing seems more profoundly natural to him who really knows the Parisian shop-Keeper, his devouring passion for stroll- ing actors and his instinctive admiration for everything connected with the theater. Yes, quite serious people, shop-keepers, those who display thelr wares upon -the street, cutiers, locksmiths, dealers in skins and fruit, are all delighted to see their miser- able but beloved offspring direct their steps toward the stage as soon as they are 8 years old, Their children will pluck tu laurels which they have dreamed of for themselves. „Tuts little girl will not be a common woman, she will be an artist, sir“ And the heart of the skin-dealer, of the poor printer, of the Da per-maker or of, the coppersmith swells with unspeakable satisfaction at this sweet thought. You will find cloth, double-wiath, for two cardinals in every ‘shop-Keeper in Paris. The little girls are greatly petted, too, and, in a vague way, considered of some impor- tance by the whole neighborhood, and con- tinually excite jealousy, not only among children of thelr. own age, but among the parents of these Children, so that, for example, scarcely a day passes when Mile. Mariqguita does not receive the visit of a young mother bringing her Ittle - wirland, with tears in her voice, entreating her to take *‘Nini’’ into ber class. The following dialogue invariably takes place: But are you sure she has a gift for dancing?’’ ‘Ah, Mademoiselle, indeed she 18 gifted. She thinks of. nothing else.

There are so many opportunities for her to show herself and to display all the charms of her youngand lively person, under the fur of a cat, the gray cloak of a mouse, the green feathers of a parrot or the plumed helmet of acassowary; under a page’s parti- colored tights or the laced bodice of a middle- aged girl. And, believe it, she is conscious of her charms and would willingly exaggerate same time, the administration, on its side, is them. Watch her, as ‘the clock strikes 8, coming to the theater. accompanied by her mother, and passing in at the admistration entrance between two rows ofloungers. Does she not look quite a grave woman under the quilted front of her bonnet, under the soft shelter of her cloak, her two “hands tightly clasped in her warm muff? With dignified and slow steps she has entered, greeted the doorkeeper like an old abquaintance, and without haste has climbed the filghts leading to her dress- ing - room. When I say her 4réssing- room of course I do not mean that it belongs to her alone, but is the little girls’ dressing- room in common, and, to go with this article, Renouard’ s clever pencil has sketched an excesdingly true and Ufe- like representation of it, with the little girls scattered about the dressers and the mirror, in which is reflected this swarming lot of lit - tle creatures. On the side of the glass is a shining globe of light, on the other, ribbed bottles of fire extinguishing fluid. In atwinkling Nini is out of her cloak, has tossed her shoes, her petticoat and her walst into her own wardrobe and I see her, in this dishabille, Kneeling at the feet of Mme, Ballveau, a dresser, Who is sewing up a slipper.

Do you remember the bird kingdom in the ‘*Chatte Blanche’’ and that amusing proces- sion of winged animals varying, in plumage and size, from an ostrich toa humming bird, from a solemn pelican toa happy warbler? Notice how Nini hurries. She worms her- selfinto her tights, pulls them up and, to bring them closer to her, squats down, wraps the strings about hands and pulls with all her strength. That is right; she has suc- ceeded! Niniis standing now; she has tied the strings about her waist and put on her little coat, its tail bristling with feathers, and its sleeves covered with feathers too. She Is already but her head—an instant, and her headis ready too. Nini thanks Ballveau with asmuile, Kisses her prettily, and is gone. She runs radiantly throughthe long corridors and joins her little friends behind the scenes. . Now it is another’s turn to pull on her tights, to lightly climbupon the tabie, and aided by the aresser, to put on the winged costume of the evening. All kinds of birds are there. The canary, just hatched, is airing his shining coat of tender yellow, his tail still entangled in the fragments of the shell which he just now broke with his bill. At the door a green- cocKatoo, with disordered white plumage, gives his last good by to the baby, from whom he has been unable to tear him- self, inspite of regulations, and whom he soon runs back to put in bed.

In Russia a bride does not display that show of gayety and merriment which is part and parcel of the bride of other nations and the entire household as well. Long before the wedding day the Russian bride retires from alltheamusementand games of her com- panions. Her intimate friends gather around her nightly and lend a helping hand in preparing the trousseau. While they are thus busy they sing mournful dirge-like songs, during which the bride gives vent to tearful lamentations. Her friends either seek to console her, or weeping with her in sympathy prognosti- cate the shadowy side of married life, a drunken husband flourishing the knout, a tyrannical mother-in-law, or a bickering set of sisters-in-law. In the Northern part of Russia it is customary forthebride to stand for three daysand nights under a veil sus- pended from the ceiling. bewalling the loss of her maidenhood. Her parents, grand- mothers, relatives and friends participate in this lacrimose proceeding. A bride who manages to faint several times during this weeping and wailing process, and refuses to be revived except by a bath of* cold water poured over her from a bucket, is held in the highest esteem by the surrounding mourn- ers. In the distriet of Jarislow the bride on the day of her wedding sheds bitter tears over the loss of her maidenly beauty. This ‘*malideniy beauty’’ is symbolized by a young fir tree, decked out with ribbons paper flowers and other gew-gaws, and lighted with candies like a Christmas. tree. The bride places the“ atable, bewalls the brief moments still left to its existence and parts with it amidsta paroxysm of grief. She announces to her friends the fate of ‘‘maidenly beauty,’’ which is destined to be carried tothe dark- est spot in the forest, there to be strung to a birch-tree, from which. it falls into the silken grass to be mown and cut to pleces by her own father and brothers. In other districts where this same custom isin vogue, the ‘‘maidenly beauty’’ is not banished tothe gloom of the forest, but is presented toa younger sister or near rela- tive, while ribbons and gew-gaws are dis- tributed among the bride’s companions.

Lonpow, Oct, 11.—WhenI was in America last year I was ‘much astonished to read a statement made by Mrs. Besant to the effect thatthe fashionable women of London did little or nothing to help their poorer brothers and sisters, or todo away with some of the indescribable misery and wretchedness by which they are clogged and hampered in thelr eweary pilgrimage through Ute's dull road so dim and dark. I say I was astonished, for even after mak - ing due allowance for the earnestness of passionate love for one’s fellow beings, which naturally exists in sucha woman as Mrs. Annie Besant, I yet thought she would be sufficiently well acquainted withthe real facts ofthe case to know that sue was mak- inga very sweeping assertion indeed, and one for which there exists no real or true grounds whatsoever. I am the better able to speak with authority on this subject for the simple reason that for several years Iwas a hard-working member of a com- mittee on which also worked a princess and some half dozen of the best known women of fashion in London; therefore, a practicalexperience ofa very earnest and charming nature makes me quite without fear of contradiction to say that Mrs. Besant was Very seriously wrongin her rash asser- tlon. The committee of the Gordon League, to which I refer, was established some seven years ago immediately after the death of Gen. Gordon, with the express purp of providing every Sunday evening, from | ber to July, a special entertainment 4 “the very poorest in this great dreary city. It was further the idea of the pro- moters that thus getting together so largeanumber of the really deserving poor to help them onward and upward in the battle of 1ife and providing them where pos- sible with the means of making an honest livelihood; by assisting them to emigrate; by forming them into clubs of self-help and im- provement; Dy encouraging them to become members of clothing and coal clubs, and by assisting them in every possible way in health and in sickness to realize the great truth of Gordon's noble life, that we are all brothers under one great Father. Putting it thus briefly, I lay before my readers the general scheme of the promoters ofthe Gordon League. It will doubtless be of interest that I should describe one of the very charming and picturesque evenings as provided for the entertainment of these des- titute and afflicted wanderers in the great metropolis of England, Imagine to your- selves a splendid hall capable of holding 1,300 people, brilliantly lit, handsomely deco- rated, lofty and lengthy, and crowded from end to end with the most curious and at the same time the most tho- roughly typical specimens of the Bedouin Arabs of the city of London. Inthe midst of these poor creatures, and quite at home with them, pass to and fro the most beautiful women in England. their delicate silks an“ satins contrasting almost painfully with the rags and tatters in which many, if not most, oftheir poor visitors are clad. But these same silks and satins are the very joy of the poor women’s hearts. A woman the world over, young or old, orrichor poor, loves a pretty gown, and the grandes dames who come in such troops and so gladly, know this well, and therefore they put on all their prettiest things. Those silks and satins hide beneath their sparkling beauty the hearts of humanity that beat against the hearts of humanity. The men, too, like to see their richer brethren in full war-paint; they feel and appreciate the delicate compliment that 1s thus pald to them. On this special evening which is in my mind, Iwas acting as chalr- man, andthusitfelltomy lot to encounter the many interesting persons who were present. Just before I went on to the plat- forma slight stir in the audience anda gen- eral rustling of garments warned me that I. R. H., the President of the Gordon League, the Princess Loulse, Marchioness of Lorne, was entering the room, Passing rapidly up the narrow passage, graciousiy shaking hands aud exchanging’ Kkinuly greet- ings with those she knew, she took a seat just beneath the plat- form. H. R. H. is always a welccme personage at these meetings. I can remem- ber on one occasion she came to the Romilly Workingmen’s Club, which is a portionof the Gordon League. A greattea had been spread forthe men, andthe Jady secretary was about to seat herself at the head of the table to pour out the tea, when the Princess very prettily begged to be allowed to do this herself, ‘‘Ishould very much like to doit, said she, and so she seated herself at the table and set vigorously to work, and to fill over and over again the teacups of upward of a hundred thirsty men is no light labor. However, she managed the task admirably, talking away tothe men themselves, and er- tering into the spirit of thething heart and soul. This by way of passing. The even- ing’s entertainment opened with a piano- forte solo. Hardly was that finished when a great clapping and cheering at the bottom of the room caused all heads to be turned tothe door, and there we saw, Iooking and smiling and evidently delighted at the greeting she was receiving Miss Ellen Terry, who had given up one of her precious Sunday even- ings that she might come asa ray of sun- light to gladden the hearts of those poor people. She lightly mounted the platform and, with a book in her hand, ha’ read and half recited Tennyson’s Dora.“ And, may well be imagined, a delightful performance it was. manner is 80 easy, her 80 sweet and winning, and very charming it was to notice the wonderful manner in which she took her audience into her confidence. They were delignted fwith and the highest rea eases them. It always 7 —.— pi as I got there upon the lofty platf to look down that room upon the sea of apt faces during 3 progress of some favorite song. There fore me would be the pale, weary. face me some poor seamstress, a woman, who, ‘dragging through Hfeon a broken wing,’? scarcely ever knew an hour of rest or hap. piness in the whole course of her existence, And yet, gradually as the sweet sounds floated through the room and out into the noisy street beyond, rest and peace would steal into the weary face and something like happiness would for once enter into her aching heart. Or it would be an old man, wayworn and world worn, the memories of whose long dead childhood would be aroused by the sweet music. Rough mén, bad women, poor broken-down creat- ures beaten by the weary battle of life, all these would be there. And there, too, side by side with them, and just as keenly affected by the now rising,now falling, strains, would be some of the best knowu people in the finest society in the clvi- lized world. Princesses, bers of Parliament, great actors, well-known philanthropists, these and many others, rich and poor, high and low, young and old, all knit together for one brief moment, by the lovely strain of music, that one touch of nat- ure that makes the whole world kin. And then a well-known and popular member of Parliament comes forward and gives a bright, sparkling address on one of the burning social questions of the day, one of the ques- tions in which perhaps his: audience would be Keenly interested. Very quick are those people to take up any allusion. Keen and ready witted must be the man who stands up tospeak to such an audl- ence. There isa rest of ten minutes, during which the ladies and gentlemen mingle in free and easy fashion with their guests, and opinions are exchanged with mutual confl- dence and good will, By this leaguea gen- ulne attempt is made to bridge over the vast chasm that at present yawns between the so- called classes and the masses. Real good feeling is established be- tween them, and women who would otherwise remain as far apart asthe poles, Such meetingsasthese go far to break down all that odious class feeling of which the demagogues talk so frequently and which they so dearly love to stir up in England. After the interval comes the sec- ond part of the concert which is chiefly of a more sacred character than the first part, and the whole concludes with the singing of hymns, the reading of a short portion ‘of scripture and the singing of the national an- them. Newspapers and books are freely distrib- uted atthe end of the entertainment, but by farthe prettiest feature of the evening, especially inthe spring and summer-tide, isthe distribution of flowers by the ladies of the evening. S@me ten or twelve of them go down the middle of the long room carry- ing enormous baskets packed full of the most exquisite flowers, flowers gatbered in greenhouse, in garden or in the country fleld, far away from the dingy, grimy courts in which the majority of the guests drag out their wretched lives. It is a pathetic sight to see men and women and little children’ struggling for the possession of these innocent tokens of God's love. But the flowers are given to each person on the distinct understanding that they are not to be seen inside a public house that night. And very loyally and very faithfully is their agreement adhered to. The Sunday, a weary, dismal day in London for even the well-to-do, is an awful day of gloom for those whose lot is that of hard, unending drudgery and starvation. These meetings, consecrated to the memory of Gen. Gordon, who so loved the poor, gave done much to Gissipate the gloomy darkness. Into each dull life there now comes a weekly ray of sunshine, and one is forcibly reminded of the words of good old George Herbert: O, day, mostcool. most calm, most bright, The week were dark but for thy light.

He Omitted a Comma. A young society man recently made the ac- quaintance of a young lady who rejoiced in the name of Mary Fortune. Aftera short courtship he proposed marriage and was ac- cepted. Before giving her the engagement ring he handed her a few of his own verses, and requested her to read them in his pres ence. Tlie young lady, after finishing the first line, became very indignant, and threw the effusion at her lover’s head. Much sur- prised at such conduct the young man de- manded an explanation. He was showna line which ranas follows: Mary Fortune is but a painted sprite. . The unfortunate omission of the comma after the first word caused thé outbreak.

Coffee, Tea and Wine Stains. Many inquiries come as to how these stains can be removed from table linen. It treated at once they seldom give much trouble. Place the stained part over a large bowl and pour | boiling water upon it until the stain disap- pears. If, however, the stains be of long standing and have been washed with soap, it will be difficult to get rid of them, Javelle water (which can be made at home or bought of a drug- Eist) will do it. Put about half a pintof Javelle water and a quart of clean water into an earthen bow!; let the stained article soak in this for several hours; Ar rinse thor- oughly in three waters. it only white goods that can be treated in this manner, as the Javelle water bleaches out the color. Another way to dois to puta lIittie of the Ja- velle water in a saucer or a small bowl and soak the oes in this until it disappears. Rinse thoroughly. Some Philological Facts.

Then suppose Robert did not return to-mor- row? He would never sup their guest would be with her; and, if this snow con- tinued, it would be impo dle for him to cross the moors. How Mr. Esthond had mon- aged to get across them was a mystery to her; for, to Phoebe, accustomed to her six- foot brother, Mr. Esmond, who was really — 4 an inen less than herself, was Gradually the hot fire made her feel more lazy and more comfortable, She concluded that Mr. Esmond would 8 be able to entertain himself, ang if he continued in- tempered they should quarrel—that would be a form of entertainment. Next morning Phoebe was up in good time. She had done all the necessary farm work, had passed about the house with her light step and energetic movements, doing the work of the absent maid and had finally pre- pared a breakfast as perfect in its cooking and appointments as anythiag that any cross man could find in the city of London. Then she felt satisfied that she had done her duty. Every single thing about the house was prepared for the scrutiny of the stranger's sharp eyes, from the brightly 1 fire up to the bine serge dress that tied her figure so neatly and showed its graceful erous curves so well She had heard him come down-stairs, and she came into the dining-room herself, the kettls full of boiling water in her hand, and peace and reconciliation in her heart. She found Mr. Esmond standing on the hearth-rug, so thoroughly transformed from his last night’s appearance, that all her peace-making feelings disappeared, to make room for a wonder if he gnew that she had come into the room prepared to forgive him. His clean-shaven face bore a look of the quietést good-humor—indeed, it was even rather a fat face, she noticed, with a feelin of astonishment that such a comfortable quality as fatness should be associated with Mr. Esmond at all. „Good morning, Miss 1 he said taking the little Kettle from Ihebe's hand in subdued and placing it on the ffre.

Robert was to bring one with him from Eitham.’’ „Then who will look after the cattle to- Gay?’* He had seated himself in his chair, and was leaning one elbow onthe back of it, appear- ing to be exceedingly at his ease in his novel situation. „We have only two cows and some poul- try, said Phebe. ‘*They are all fed for to- day—uiitli evening.’’ **You have deen out this morning and fed them?’’ les. Why not? It isn’t my work, usually, but I can do ſt. His eyes went from herupright figure,where she stood by the window, tothe fire and rested theré consideratively. It wasa pretty game they were playing, that of studying each other. There is no game in which one is apt tolearn somuch about one’s self. Mr. Esmond, having his eyes on the fre, was the first to see the water boll. He took the rege Moy from the table, and, gcing to the fire, filled it with the bolling Water. Phebe went round to her end of the table and sat down. Shall 1 pour out the coffee!“ she asked, bending forward and sending an innocent challenge from her blue eyes to his, at the other end of the tabie. lou might as weil,’’ he replied, laughing, and accepting the challenge. It was like a crossing of lances, that one glance from the one to the other, uncon- scious enoughon her part, though he knew well enough what the preliminary clash of steel meaht. How many of these smokeless battles he had fought—not often with zest, but mostly because they happened to come in his way, Phoebe fortunately ¢ould not see. Yet he was not a male flirt by any means, but, at bottom, one of those men for whom their fellow-men have even a good word Women aiffered about bim, because they saw only the surface of his character; men set him down, briefly, as of the right sort. Now and then, Plia@be gianced surrep- titiously across at her companion, as she ate her porridge. ‘‘Much older than she had thought him to be—nearly , she decided, in one of these glances. that was satisfac- tory to her~she did not like a callow youth.

Phoebe glanced across at her companion, with a face of blank dismay atthe prospect. **We should be buried If it went on snowing all that time.“ How many feet deep will my portmanteau be now?’’ he asked, thoughtfully. ‘*Your portmanteau?

And, with the remei- brance, came another remembrance of how limply wet his collar and tie had been the evening before. She glanced across to see how they looked this morning, but was met by vision of immaculate spotiessness, which she felt Mr. Esmond * It was dee 4 7 N haperonagee more might ineny 7 7 be applied to the behavior at 1 m ’ ~ a littie * * n wa of gut two Brine pa first ropes roma istress of herself and her V 4 to find herself hankering after a itttie% - edge of fashionable London life, wondering if she, with her graceful freedom of move- ment and fresh beauty would find herself an untrained bumpin beside Mr. Esmond’s In the rare visits of her betrothed, Was also 0 to hearing them change business confidence for an hour or two. Then they would generally fall ape tg 4 and she would scan tne faces lying back in the easy chairs, and muse on the general su- periority of man to woman. Robert still went to sleep, but his com- 2 did not. He did not exactly enter- in Phebe with tales—Othello lke—but somehow, through the long hours it was not often that the conversation ball dropped. Phoebe was not without the feminine gift of tongue—indeed, she was rather gifted in that line, and Mr. Esmond, she discovered, was of Irish descent, which accounted for his volubility, and on the presumption of hts having kissed the biarney stone, for the fa- cility with which he could Make Phove's blushes come and go. AS they stoodin the dining-room one day, rot drned froma skating expedition, Phawbe, who was unfastening her jacket, took off the torque a@180, and handed it to Mr, Esmond, i 56 you like my coliar?’’ she asked, y. le took the pretty ornament in his hand and turned it over in the light from the win- dow.

Do you like it:?“ she asked, leaving ber r unfinished. NO. The answer was grim, and for a moment went unsupported by any further explana- nation; he handed the collar back to her. When an article is marked ‘sold’ at all, it should be in very plain letters, he said. He was not looking at her now. or he might have seen that the fresh color faded from her face for a few minutes, and that her thought- ful blue eyes cast a swift questioning and re- vealing — At him. She took the torque in het hands, and fastened it round ber throat with rather shaky fingers, and then gathered up her muff and gloves, and took them away without a word. One great disadvantage of modern civiliza- tion is, that it enables our friends—still worse, our enemies, to Veil their feelings, as well as ourselves. It is very satisfactory to feel that our own calm, imperturbable gaze hides our own secret soul, but what about the answering gaze of stony equanimity in eyes whose secret feelings we wisi to bring up to the light of day? When Mr. Esmond’s behavior became totally different after Phobe’s disclosure a bout her engagement, she was at a loss to know whether it was for his own sake that he had metaphorically withdrawn to a dis- tance, or because he had divined ner motives and wished to show her that she had miscoa- strued his attentions. Fear that it might be from the latter motive froze Phcwbe’s hospitality into ice. Mr. Es- mond was as invariably courteous as before; andthe consequence was that they enter- tained each other like drawing-room guests. If oniy Robert had been endowed with a small share of humor, te might have enjoyed the stage-like behavior of the two; but to them it was terribly earnest. The day following Phoebe’s disclosure was marke't-day at Eltham, and Mr. Esmond ac- companied Robert there and remainedaviih him all day. Phebe, leit at home, got out certain letters received from the absent lover and read them all thoughtfully before the dining- room fire. They were very much alike, each beginning with ‘‘My own dear and ending with Tour devoted and all closely resembling each other in what came between those two remarks. There was quite a pile of them, too, nearly sixty. She folded them neatly together and replaced them in the scented box from which she had taken them. she sat looking at them, her hands clasped round the gold collar at her throat. Then she drew a sheet ofempty paper toward her and began to write. ‘the frelight filckered on her fair hair and diue serge dress, and tried to warm her unusually pale cheeks into a littie of thelr ordinary color. She filled the sheet of paper with her clear, legible handwriting and then pushed it away from her, and immediately wrote another letter—a much shorter one. She held the two in her hands, comparing one with the other, her clear eyes weighing their. merits with the prompt, judicial ease which she could appiy to other things beside letters. Finally she put both letters into the same scented box with the others, and, leaning back in her chair, her eyes fell on the reflection of herseif in the glass over the muntei-piece. She was nota girl who spent much time in the study of herself, so that the sudden appearance of the pictured self before her came upon her with the startiingness of something unexpected. She leaned forward and scanned the pic- ture with something of the primitive curiosity of a savage. So that was herself—the seif that other people sald How do vou do to, and criticised. Well, the sensation stole over her slowly and comfortingly, ix was a more than uswualiy fair self for an- one to look upon. Even to her, there was something unique in the abundance of physical charms, coupled with the breadth of forehead and the independence of mouth that bespoke wits and will. She mentally passed a ‘‘you are satisfactory’’ judgment on the — 4 figure in the glass, as her sharp scrutiny fell on the healthy tints of the face, the perfect biue eyes, and the alert, finely formed figure. She rose and went tothe window, and with her eyes fixed on the snow-covered road, over which the dog cart had carried the two men to market that morning, she stood try- ing to do what was beyond the power of even her sharp, biue eyes—to look a few steps into the future. There were only a dar-and-a-half of Mr. Esmond's visit left. They passed in the same interchange of ceremonious courtesy—a sort of thin tce which covered the unusually stirred feelings below. And so the last day came, and with it that very last minute which we can never realiy beHeve in until it is here.

She advanced to the table and, kaeeling down by it, put her head on her ciasped hands.

He did not do so, however, but opened the hal! door, and before she could scramble to her feet, not he, but Mr. Esmond stood be- fore her.

SPONGES. About the Manner in Which They Are Secured. Whetheraspongeis to be ciassed as an animal ora vegetable Is still a much disputed question. The sponges which you use at home do not seem to have much life in them. And they certainly do not look much like any animal witn which you are familiar. Yet these sponges are hatched from tiny eggs. thrown off every spring by the parent sponge, and these atoms grow by and by to be big sponges like their mother. And al- though wise men have not quite agreed upon the subject, most of them have decided that sponges do belong to the lowest form of ani- mal life, but one small step above the vVege- tabie. And these sponges are found of all sizes, from the small specks, the Daby ones, up to the huge feilows of three or four feet high. When the sponges are, first hatched ther spend a coupie of days floating about in the water. — they proceed to attach them- Something selves to Wock or shelis. or any convenient place, wh they hold on fast and grow big- ger and bigrer ali the rest of their ilves, or until some spongefisher comes along with a big knife or a long fork and cuts or tears them SATURDAY THE DAY BECAUSE ür GIVES 7 Wo DAYS FORCELEBRATIZG ~— Special Correspondence Suxpay Post-Disratcn. Panis, Oct. 21.—faturday is the marrying day of the Parisian ouvrier. It is aa economical arrangement. It gives Pierre two whole days for celebrating, with a loss of but one in the shop. He is obliged to take advantage of all suck devices for, do his best, marrying 1s expensive business in Paris. So Saturday is his cay and, as for his sea; son, he avoids Advent and Lent. The charch requires a special permission for a marriage in those periods—and special permissions cost dear. Figures show bow shy he is of these months. A full Lenton month has al- ways the lowest marriage rate of the year in Paris, end, as a reaction, that following Easter has the highest. Before Vierre ean with safety select his particular Saturday he Ras a multitude of civil and religious requirements to attend to. Neither he nor Lizette can think of such a thing es marrying without the consent of their families. If father, mother and gran4- parents are dead,atamily council must be called of the nearest living relatives to con- sider the case and giveor withhold permis- sion. If it is refused to Pierre, and he is under 3, or to Ligette, and she is under 71, the marriage cannot go on. If they are over those ages they can summon the recaicitrant relatives three times, at in- tervals of a month each, before a notary to give consent. If after the third summons, the permission is still withheld at the end of a fourth month, they may marry. That is they may, after the proper publications have been made and necessary documents taken out. For eleven days before the civil marriage can take place there must be posted at the door of the Mayor’s office in the arrondisse- ment in which each lives (it must be remem- bdered that Paris is divided into twenty arron- dissements, each of which has its own Mayor) a bulletin giving the name, occupa- tion and residence of the persons to be mar- ried, stating whether they are majors or minors, telling the days, places and hours of the publishing of the bans and giving tne names, occupations and residences of the re- sponsible relatives. If it happens that the children do not livein the same arrondisse- ment with the parents, Dulletins must be posted at the Mayor’s where both they and their relatives live. if there isa religious service (and we shall suppose that there is to be one, since, though it is not obligatory itis eminently proper) he bans will be published three Sundays running inthe church of the parish attended by each party. While these preliminaries are in progress, Pierre is collecting the Gocuments necessary for the civil ceremony. It is no small outlay, for each must be made out on official paper— an expensive luxury in Paris. There mast be certificates of the births of himself and Lizgette. If the proper relatives to consent are not able to be present at the ceremony he must have a written statement that the per- mission is granted and if it has been refused proof that the Respectful Acts, as the summons are called, have been made. If the father or mother is Gead evidence of that fact, on stamped paper, of course, must be presented. Proofs of the publication of the bans are required. Certificates from the quarter are indispensable. If there have been objections raised to the marriage while the publications were posted it must be shown thet they heave been withdrawn. Pierre must not forget either that he will be required to show that he has satisfied the litary law. When all this has been done it will be safe to sign the marriage contract, that is if ther have one, which is doubtful. A marriage contract means that there is property to be regulated and a Parisian ouvrier and his flancee are not often encumbered in that way. But even if there is little property and Lizette quirements for them both. Etiquette taxes them less in trouble than the law, but more in purse. If Pierre were rich be would pre- sent Lisette with a corbeille made up of jew- els, lace and perhaps a cashmere shawl, but as itis he will give her some article for her wedding toilet; a wulte shawl perhaps, ora veil, or gloves. He will send her a bouqust, too, on the morning of the wedding, anc he wlll provide a ring and a marriage piece. As for Lizette, she must bay for ber future husband his wedcing shirt, hose and cravat. When all is ready they will appear about llo’clocKk on the morning of the appointed Satarday at the Mayor's office. again andthenretire to her warm dining- room, comfortable and happy.

It is too pathetic to discuss. He was on his oars, as Tascarelli said at the time, and earning nothing. He was well fitted for the position to which he aspired, but there was so little demand then for dis- coverers that he was well nigh dis- couraged. This should teach us that we must fit ourselves for something for which there 1s a demand. It is true that the glory of discovering a world is something, but it comes too late to be used as collateral at the bank.

Indignant at Portugal, and lefta widower at an early age with one son and no money whatever, this sorrowful advance agent of freedom and prosperity—this sad eyed prophet of happy and well protected in- dustry—dropped down hopelessly in the Franciscan Convent of st. Mary's of Rabida, in Andalusia, worn and weary, sorrowful and despondent. a The prior, who was leading a very busy life absolving Ferdinand and Isabella twice a week, took Columbus to these monarchs and also put him up at the club for two Weeks. 1 5 Columbus spoke about how well the Queen's dress was draped, and admired it so much that he was asked to come ang drive with them on Friday and meet a well-known Eng- lish author, who was in town over night with a view to writing a book on it.

VIQONS: THE STARTLING AND UNEXPECTED TRI- UMPH OF A GALLANT DARK HORSE. * Sp ecial Correspondence SUNDAY Posr-Disraren. New Tonk, Oct. 20,—When Miss Rosabel Skinner, tall, stately and graceful as a queen of Ethiopia, swept into Wendel's Assembly Rooms in Forty-tourth street she carried the train of her black velvet dress on her arm. Her complexion was a few shades lighter than her dress, but not enough to interfere with the general harmony of color. She wore white slippers, and a dainty lace handkerchief hid the contour of her ruby lips as she held it to her face. Miss Skinner was a pleasing object to look at, as she toyed negligently with the handle ofa glass containing sarsaparilla. Her neck, a slender brown column, arose from a pink en- vironment where the upper part of the gown had been turned over and lined with the gaudy color. The light of her dark eyes shamed the gas jets, and her singularly open countenance, when she smiled or gave way to coquettish expressions of ennui, revealed teeth rivaling sweet corn in whiteness. Miss Skinner was the belle of the Turf Club Ball and Cake-Walk. The organization re- ferred to consists of one member, Mr. Paris Archer, a licorice- colored young man who takes care of the bookmakers’ booth at the race-tracks. Physically, Mr. Archer resem- bles the interlocutor ipa minstrel show or the man who carries the water-pail behinda target company.

After him came Mr. Spider Anderson in the line. He escorted Miss Angelina Bethel. Miss Bethel wore an ashes of rose complexion and a white dress. Mr. Anderson was the only gentleman who enjoyed the distinction « evening dress. He wore a celluloid ce lar, a white necktie and in one lapel of his coat was a Marsbal Neil rose and in the other a small bunch of lettuce. Billy Me- Pherson was the fourth man, accompanied by the blushing Sulla Braxton, fit consort of so majestica figure. McPherson lacked the dignity which more flesh gave to Prof. Puls ley. Still he towed the charming Braxton a round the room with exquisite grace, while she in turn dragged a yard of steel-colored satin behind her. Up to this time Mr. B. u.

Ine most reliable biographer of the great admiral who so soon noted the value of America as an opening for the soiled and op- pressed of the Old World, where they could come and bring their cholera with them, was Fernando Colombo, the son. 2 Christopher Columbus was educated at the ie normal school in Paris, where he stood well “= in mathematics, and especially in trigonom- etry, or the science of trigs.

De Terzago was the originator of the math- ematical discovery that in addition a great saving of time, and also greater accuracy, may be secured by setting down the right- hand figures and carrying the tens tothe next column. At the age of 15 Columbus became & sailor d began sitting for his picture. 5 were three sons in the Columbus family and one daughter, who married a butcher.

Taken altogether it was an affair worthy of the at - tendance of allthose who delight in looking upon exhibitions of life onthe bronze side of New York. It was not until after 1o’clock that the affair began toassumean enjoyable aspect. When Prof, Luke Pulley, a member of the Cake-Walkers’ Trust and composer of the Cake-Walk March, walked into the room ina debonair manner under a silk hat heat- tracted considerable attention. Mr. Pulley has the distinction of being able to play the piano with his knuckles, his elbows and his nose. He also has a reputation as a cake- walker. He wore a three-button cutaway coat, a silk vest colored blue, brown kids, patent leather shoes, and a jack rose. He resembled an animated cathedral as he swept gracefully down the room to the tune of ‘‘Boom-ta-ra,’’ as played by the or- chestra. Mr. Pulley gravely acknowledged the salutation of his friend and then kindly consented to drink a glass of beer with Mr. Spider Anderson, This exchange of courte- sies being concluded the company generally turned their attention tothe inspection of Mr. Luke Blackburn, who arrived accompa- nied by his red nectie. The latter gentlemen, tlemen and ladies so gained upon his enrap- — tured vision that his eyes almost bulged out of their sockets. Throwing the hats . the floor and seizing Miss Mamie Ora wierd ie the arm, he boldly entered the lists. There were now fiiteen competing couples, but other than those mentioned the rest were only ‘‘fill-ins,’? as Lulu Montagu said. The band played the celebrated Washington Post March.’’ Prof. Craig waved his baton, and as the voluptuous strains filled the wide Ball the gas jets fluttered} a faint perfume filled the air, caused by the exceeding heat; lace handkerchiefs waved and the loud mur- ¢ 2" * * 3 mur of applause filled the room as the con- 4 testants marched around with the gravity ot undertakers. Prof. Pulley was as st 1 Eddystone Lighthouse. Serene and impas.~ sive as the Sphynx he moved down the lines of gaping spectators. It was only when tus noise of 600 applauding voices and 1,000 clap- | ping palms saluted him that the muscles of his face relaxed a little and a' faint smile wreathed his pouting lips. He was appre- | clating the acme of cake-walking felicity, — Mr. McPherson’s legs were not built for cake- — walking, consequently he minced his steps, Besides, the excitement of the oceasion add- ed to his awkwardness.

It was what fs now called Iceland, and Columbus was one of the earliest navigators to penetrate to the region of the pole and leave a pantaloons button on the axle of the world. On his re- turn he said that the only thing in favor of that country as a home was that there were F neither madsquitoes nor malaria there. He staked off aitown, but the claim was jumped by a polar bear, and reverted tothe original Olas Casad describes Columbus as having a Jong face, muddy in places; an aquiline nose, clear gray eyes, aquick, commanding glance and light hair, which had begun to grow gray 110 fell in love with and married Filipa Monis de Palestrello,-who was in the convent where he used to pray of a morning.

Not long after this Columbus confided in 3 olo Tascarelli his belief that it would now 7 a good time to discover America. Tascarelll was a physician and cosmog- rapher of that place and a man rather in advance of bis time, as was Columbus. Tas- carelli lived on his practice as a physician and relied very little on what he could make as a cosmographer. He was the first physician to discover that the fly of Spain, if collected in large quanti- new attitude. Getting a steamer chair near the place where his picture was taken, he went aboard the boat at once, and was soon a mere speck on the horizon. On the 12th of October, 1492, after a long, wet tramp over an unknown sea, a man came down into the steerage, where Colum- bus was eating a watermelon, and calling him to one side and drawing his ear toward him said in a low voice, Land, ho!’’ **Honest?’’ exclaimed Columbus. Sl, senor!’’ said the man, If you wish to discover America you will never havea bet- ter time.’’ So Columbus went up on deck and attended to it. Columbus was far in advance of the times in which he lived, but there were many times when he could not getasackof flour. He wasa great genius, but had very little fun. When he wanted to make a hit everybody called him a crank, and after he had made it all his neighbors said they put him up to it. Jealousy put him in jail and subsequently fought over his bones, and it is only 400 years after his discovery that special rates are to be made over the railroads on account of it. Columbus found also the West Indian slave trade, but was sorry for it afterward. He was also tried on his return or having discovered Fire Island, but was successful in proving an alibi and was acquitted. P. s.—The above are mostly facts. B. N. HIT AND MISS.

Mr. Blackburn was not dressed for the occasion. Hehad come from Gloucester in answer to a telegram, and had omitted to don his evening dress. This omission sadly handicapped the champion. He referred to the omission in tones of regret, and looked with envy and admiration at Mr. Spider An- derson, whose coat was only two sizes too large for him. Mr. Blackburn mentioned in- cidentally during the preliminary exercises thathe had disposed of the prize piano forthe sum of 350. It had been originally appraised at $200, but Mr. Blackburn sald that when the light of day struck it it went clean through the cover.“ He said he had squandered the 350 at the races since. ‘ By 1 o’clock the ball-room was comfortably filled. Disconsolate female wall flowers of every shade of complexion, from the cendre blonde to the maiden whose complexion re- sembled the gloomy midnight, was present. The blonde who attracted the most attention was a most charming young lady named Annie Queen, who occupies a somewhat dilapidated residence in West Third street. A most delightfully democratic air pre- vailed everywhere. All shades of color met on equal grounds and each toasted the other with expressions of mutual admiration. Mr. Biackburn confidentially informed Miss Queen, who was anxious to learn something regarding the function of cake- walking, that the man who had held the champion step for many yearsin New York City, Dandy Jack Smith, had been forced to leave town on ac- count of infractions of the moral law and had taken up his residence in Chicago. Mr. Ike Berry, late of Harlem, who in his brief career on this planet had won many cakes and covered himself with crumbs of glory, had recently moved out to Cincinnati, where he was now engaged in tending bar or some other similarly healthful and pleasant amuse- ment. Mr. John Webster, Mr. Blackburn was sorry to say, had been suffering for some time from rheumatism. This ungracious disease had made him slightly knock-kneed, and his legs bowed out now like those stuck the knuckles of his left hand in the small of his back excited universal admira- tion. Loud applause arose on all sides as he Swept down the stretch. The spectators crowded closer and closer upon the line of march. The excitement thickened like boil- ing oatmeal. Bets were made on the respective cham- pions, and pandemonium reigned when the orchestra switched off to ‘‘Ta-ra-ra’’ for a Change. When the couples had been upon the floor for ten minutes all but the creme de la creme had been rejected and only three couples were left. These consisted of the Pulley, Anderson and Blackburn combina- tions. Blackburn had the advantage of hies reputation, but he was sadly handicapped — because of the lack of evening dress. In this respect Anderson had a decided advantage over him; for dress is not an inconsid- erable part of the cake-walking profession. It was duly taken into consideration bx judges, who comprised Tom Lyon, Jimmie Austin, Louls and Ed Waldron, John Kelly and John Deibes, all blondes. And when the final heat came, and the three couples were ranged in front of the judges, a deathly stil- ness prevailed. The music stopped playing, while Polo Jim arose to his feet and com- manded attention by lifting his right hand to the ceiling. Then inadeep baritone he said: Ladies and Gentlemen— Mr. Spider Ander- son and Miss Angelina Bethel is de mos gal- lusest niggersinde hall,and dey takes de cake.’’ Sucha shout arose that the subse- quent announcementtothe effect that Mr. Blackburn had won a gold watch and Prof. Pulley had come in for a gold- handled umbrella was lost in the. loud acclaim which saluted the victor. — A mad rush was made by the friends — of Spider Anderson, who seized him by the coat tails, lifted him from the floor and car- ried him bodily into the refreshment room.
