The day after the St. Louls Fair closed, waiters from all sections of the country, aggregating some 150 swarmed into St. Louis in search of employment, and to ascertain whether the Waiters’ Union woulda take any action on the reduction in wages which invariably follows the close of the fall festivities. ‘The regular waiters during the summer are paid $12 per week and board, while the ‘‘dinner men’’ or extra waiters are paid 75 cents for three hours’ work. The latter part of October the regular men are cut downin salary for $12to $10 and the extra waiters are cut from 75 cents to 50 cents. Thinking that a strike would be the result of the reduction, the city has more idle walters than have been in St. Louis for years. When the reduction was made, none of the waiters left their places of business, much tothe disgust of meimbers of the profession who arrived in the city with the expectation of taking the laces of the strikers. For two days past 1unadreds of dodgers have been scattered romiscuously around the numerous Sst. Autis restaurants, signed by the St. Louls Walters’ Union, calling attention toan im- portant meeting of the waiters to be held at Central Turner: Hall. Several meet- ings have been held, but no action has been taken toindicate thata strike is likely to occur. The waiters have been working a week since the reduction was made, and claim that they are satisfied with the wages, paid during the winter months, and do not care to ive up thelr gitua- tions at this time of the year for the accom- modation of unemployed men. - Death of Mr. Berkley.

Walcher had evidently ade preparations for the event,as a day or twosince he induced his wife to visit relatives at Rosemond. When she had left he told his partner, Mr. File, that he was going to Raymond and would be back shortly. When he did not re- turn or send word, imvestigation showed that Miss Musgrove had fefttown with him, taking with her all her Glothing and valua- bles, and telling her sister that she was going tothe country to do some washing. Mrs. Walcher was notified and has returned home. Since learning the particulars she has had spasm after §pasm, and has at- tempted suicide by hanging and. otherwise severaltimes and refuges to take medicine. Physicians and attendants remain constantly with her, Mr. and Mrs, Walcher have been married fifteen years, and the latter reports they have never had a cross word. Mr. File who to-day looked into the firm’s account at the bank in Hillsboro, says Walcher did not take with him any of the firm’s funds, but he is sup- posed to have plenty of individual cash, as he recently sold a large farm near Irving. The eloping couple are thought to have gone West, as two weeks since Walcher applied for and obtained Mapsof the Western States from the Big Four agent at Irving. Quiet gossip had prevl- ous to this time connected the names of the elopers, and the impression seems to be that Miss Musgrove, who is aged about 20 years, induced Walcher, who ts about forty years old, to abandon his wife.

The case of Frank Eichler, the carpenter who fell from the top ofa five-story building at the corner of Mainand Morgan streets recently, is developing Into an in- teresting. study at the City Hospital, Elchler’s case was remarkable at first owing to the fact that he seemed to have re- ceived no serious injury from his fright- ful fall. The only external mark of injury was the breaking of the bone of the middle finger of the righthand. The seem shaken by but in @ very cool man- ner talked to physicians and news- paper reporters of his sensations while dropping through space. For this reason his experience was publishedas a remarka- ble instance of escape from almost inevita- bie death. But after that apparently wonderful escape there came another and a serious develop- ment in the case. Compiete paralysis attacked Kichler’s lett arm, and Dr. Marks then bad reason to believe that the man had not escaped dangerous injury from the fall. The paralyzing of the lett arm indicated that there must have been a brain injury on the opposite side ofthe head, and the nature of the paralysis enabled Dr. Marks to locate It definitely, viz., as a wound of the fissure slivius located just above the right ear. such a wound would caus@ a Dbiood-clot to form on the brain and thus uce paral ysis of theleftarm. ‘to further examine the injury it would be necessary to perform a surgical operation onthe head, at the sup- posed place of the Injury.

That proposition calls for re- sentment from the honest workmen of America. —_- -—— ADLAI STEVENSON isa better newspaper man than Whitelaw Reid. Col. Reid made. his letter of acceptance so long that many earnest Republicans were exhausted before they got to theendof it. Adlai, on the contrary, wrote a letter of readable length. Possibly Col.

The great philanthropist has to grind down his employes to get the money to buy votes in their interest.

Hon. EDWARD C. KEHR, the Democratic candidate for Congress inthe Tenth Dis- trict, will speak at Webster to-night and theDemocrats of that vicinity should assure him a rousing meeting. Mr. Kehr has a strong Republican majority by the records to overcome, but his personal superiority over his opponent and his cause give him an advantage which vigorous support from the Demodiatf of the district may turn into a victory. Such a result would record the most glorious triumph for Democracy in the State. , _ bl —— ”_ Tue evidence of Democratic treachery in the Eleventh Congressional District, and the strong effort being made by Re- publicans to capture it, should spur the Democrats of that district to enthusiastic work. The only sort of victory which should satisfy the stalwart Democracy of the district 1s an overwhelming one, which will stand as an everlasting rebuke to la- bor-swindling and pocketbook politics. Under Mr. O’Neill’s able and astute lead- ership this tan be done, but the Demo- crats must work for it. ee, —— COMPETITION is forbidden in the World’s Fair grounds. Theright to sell peanuts, chewing gum, popcorn and ginger beer has been farmed out to monopolists, and the right to black boots is now being hawked about, at least §150,000 being ex- pected forit. Several days ago the closets on the grounds were turned over to an enterprising individual who will charge a good round fee for their use. The policy of the managers in this respect is discred- itable, disgraceful and disgusting. It isa national shame. THE newspaper that said Senator Bishop Perkins was full of ‘*booze’’ because he got sick at the stomach while making a Republican campaign speech in Kansas ought to be prosecuted. Mr. Perkins’ sickness was perfectly natural. His sys- tem had absorbed too much McKinleyism, Many good Republicans have been made ill by MeKinleyism, and quite a number ot them are feeling better since they have taken a course of tariff reform treatment. In fact, McKinleyism is enough to make the healthiest Kansas statesman throw up his socks, even when he isn’t talking it to a crowd in an agricultural State. a —_ _ | - Mk. GEORGE’S speech published in full in yesterday’s SUNDAY Post-DIsPATOH was the clearest and completest exposition of the tariff question ever heard in St. - | Louis. According to his wont he treated. ‘the subject from first principlesand ad- dressed himself to the intelligence rather ‘than the prejudices and emotions of his hearers. Mr; MoKinley’s sophisms were. left with not. aleg tostand upon. That his points were appreciated is shown by the frequent and hearty applause. which interrupted the speaker. ‘The only dis- agreeable feature of the occasion was that thousands were turned away unable to find standing roém in the over-packed hall, ; BR Se a Re COMPARE FOR YOURSELF. Yesterday’s SUNDAY Post-DISPATOH, a 40-page paper, was beyond question the brightest, best, biggest Sunday newspaper issued in St. Louis. This is not a business boast—it is a claim presented for a competent public to pass upon. Anyone who doubts the correct- ness of this claim can verify it for him- self. The SUNDAY Post-DIsPATCH yesterday was a 40-page paper, presenting 202 columns of reading matter—66 more than the Globe- Democrat and 45 more than the | Republic. | The SUNDAY Post-DISPATCH contained more news, telegraphic and local, than either of its competitors. It was the only paper which contained a verbatim stenographic report of Henry George’s great speech in reply to Gov. McKinley’s St. Louis:address. In every department of news the SUNDAY PosT-DIsPATCH gathered all that its com- petitors gathered—and more, In the collection of local and suburban news the SUNDAY PosT-DISPATCH employs a force very nearly aslarge as the iocal staffs of the Globe- Democrat and Republic put together. Two pages of the SUNDAY Post- DISPATCH yesterday represented a greater expend- iture for illustrations than the entire cost of illustrating the Globe-Democrat, and double the cost of illustrating the Re- public. Two pages, ‘‘For Those at Home,’’ de- voted to matters of interest to women were prepared specially for: the readers of the SUNDAY Post-DISPATCH, not clippings or syndicated rot, In its literary miscellany, in its special features, in its news, local, cable and tele- graphic, in its departments, in its illus- trations, in everything that goes to establish superiority as a Sunday paper, the SUNDAY PosT-DISPATCH excels its competitors and will maintain its relative superiority. That policy pays. That is the reason why the number of copies of the SvunpAyY Post-DISPATCH which go regularly every Sunday into the homes of St. Louis is greater than the entire sales and distributions of al kinds made by the Republic in this city. ee ABOUT WILD-CATS. **A Cleveland Democrat’’ asks the Post- DISPATCH to explain why and for what purpose a plank was putin the Democratic platiorm favoring a repealof the 10 per cent Federal tax on State bank currency issues. He says very truly that no Democrat wants to see a return tothe unlimited wild-cat currency which was sucha nui- sance just preceeding the war, and he does not believe that any Democratic State Legislature will sanction a renewal of such issues. But for that very reason he is at a loss to know why any plank was put in the Dem- ocratic platform which can be interpreted asan indication of Democratic yearning for wild-cat money. - That interpretation of the plank referred to is simply a barefaced campaign lie which does not give a moment’s uneasi- ness to any intelligent business man and which will never be heard of again after the election or after the tax is repealed. ‘hat tax was not levied forrevenue. It was not levied to prevent wild-cat issues. It was an attempt to do indirectly what Congress had no authority to do directly. It was in practice and effect nothing but a prohibition of notes issued by State banks, as good as gold, as wellsecured as any notes in the world, and therefore likely to interfere seriously with the circulation of national banks whose issues were re- deemable only in greenbacks at a time when greenbacks were worth but 60 or 70 cents on the dollar in gold. In short, that Federal tax was a device securing a monopoly of the banking and bank-note issuing business to the capital invested in United States bonds. It wasa war measure of very. questionable consti- tutionality, but one which the country cheerfully acquiesced in so long as there was any necessity for thus sustaining the value of United States bonds, and so long as it gave us a sufficient national bank currency. But now, when the Government is re- deeming its bonds at a high premium, leaving the national banks nothing to base their issues on; we have but little over a hundred millions of national bank notes left, and know that we shall soon have none, The question therefore arises, ‘*What shall we do then for banking cap- ital and currency?’’ and a great many of the ablest financiers declare that the va- cancy can best be filled by State banks chartered to issue notes perfectly secured by deposits of gilt-edged State and corpo- ration bonds. | It was torender this possible that the plank in question was inserted, and this is all that the Federal tax prevents. There are many other and far more insurmount- able barriers to the chartering of wild-cat bank currency issues—barriers which will stand immovable after the Federal tax on State bank notes is repealed or declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. Moreover, it is safe to predict that when of the Weal toe ah abunsat Spel: of 35 gal tender greenbacks and government ebin notes will be attested by provisions | : for new Government note issues that will leave a narrow and unprofitable margin for State bank notes. The ‘‘wild-cats’’ which the Eastern Re- publicans are most in dread of just now are new issues of legal tender greenbacks and silver. Beaten and utterly discredited in the tarilf and force bill fight, they are desperately trying to scare the Western people into the policy of perpetuating the public debt and the national bank note monopoly as the Gibraltar of plutocracy. _ , ball —— — THE CONGRESSIONAL CONTESTS. There is no point in the line of political battle where treachery is more telling in behalf of the enemy than in the Congres- sional elections, The Democrat who de serts or fails to give vigorous support to the Democratic candidate for Congress in his district betrays his party at a vital spot upon which tHe whole issue of the con- test depends. A Democratic President without a Democratic Congress is impo- tent either to carry on or define Democratic ‘principles in legislation. The fight in the Congressional districts is for principles. It is of the utmost importance to the credit of St. Louis Democracy, to the in- terest of St. Louis people and the success of Democratic principles: that St. Louis should be represented in the next Congress by Democrats. The prospect of a Demo- cratic victory in the country and of a nota- ble triumph in the State makes it the more urgent that St. Louis should indorse Dem- ocratic principles and have Democratic representatives. The Eleventh District contains vast in- dustrial interests and the voice of labor there should demand justice in taxation ahd labor’s right to its earnings. It should resent the insulting proposition that it mustdepend for fair rewards for honest work upon the bounty of tax-made millionaires. Mr. O’Neill, the Demo- cratic candidate in that district, has a splendid record in Congress where. his word and work have been devoted to the defense of the rights and interests of in- dustry. The great business interests of the Twelfth District should be recorded in favor of fair trade, free elections and honesty andeconomy iu the administration of the government. Mr. Cobbis a repre- sentative business man, who redeemed the district from Republicanism ff the last election and made a record during his first term which combined with good work a promise of growing usefulness. The fact that the Tenth District, which contains.an important part of St. Louis, is Republican according to past estimates should merely stimulate its Democrats to more strenuous @ftdridto «int @ nbtiibid! victory. In MrjfBdwWard\yOyv Kehr theg, have a man of integrity and ability, whose merits deserve success and whose charac- ter combined with the principles he repre- sents gives ground for a vigorous and win- ning campaign. The Democracy of St. Louis have the issues and the men in their favor. Ener- getic work until the close ofthe polls on election day will assure a triumph all along the line. Work for it, Democrats. -——————_-——_ @————____—- Mr. GLADSTONE must stop in his work of freeing Ireland in orderto readup sufficient English poetry toenhable him to determine who shall wearthe laurel crown of Tenny- son. It is fortunate that we have no poets laureate inthe United States, If the Presi- dent, in addition to his duties of making postmasters and’ preparingthe way for his own succession, were to be required to select a poet laureate, his health might be endan- gered. Evenafter he had selected a poet he would have to write to him to learnthe bard’s politics, as the party might be dls- rupted if atariff reformer were to receive the appointment. Letus thank Providence that we are permitted to live ina Republic where every poet hasa chance, and where he can make acrown for himself, and wear it if he likes, without submitting his claims toany one. Ifhecan get above the news- paper waste basket he can soaras high as he likes. - nt al THE indlgnation of the Prince of Wales over his mother’s devotion tothe memory of her faithful John Brown is unseemly. It is Wales’ belief, however, that as John Brown’s body lies moldering inthe grave, theres no good reason for bringing him back. Indeed, Albert Edward is one of those men who are not given to mourning. If he would not at- tend the funeral of the English poet Tenny- son, how could he be expected to grieve with his mother over the Scotch servant Brown, who has been dead so lon gz, and whom he did not cherish in life? It is likely that when the Prince himself dies there will be few to mourn him. Why, then, should he mourn, or encourage mourning in others? - — —_— THERE are thrifty people among the tem- perance workers as Well as in other parties. The delegates who could not attend the con- vention at Denver sent ‘‘collect’’ telegrams to encourage those who were present. The length of these telegrams is not mentioned, but it is possible that in the case of some en- thusiasts they were not condensed as they might have been had the writers prepaid their messages, The temperance campaign fund, so far as is known, is not large, and does not swell to great proportions even in prosperous years, The drain put upon it by reformers who do not pay for their telegrams will have to be stopped if the party is to get on. - — PERHAPS we have been a little too hard on the Republican campaign writers. Many of them may be afflicted as is the boy New, whose remarkable invention of a blood-curdling murder story so stirred the police and people of 8t. Louis last week.

Under the rule of Speaker Reed it legislated by flat and unseated lawfully elected Demo- cratic Representatives out of pure partisan wantonness. It has squandered a surplus of $100,000,000 and mortgaged the excessive revenues for years to come. It has ralsed the taxes on the necessaries of } the people. It has prostituted the public service to scandalous partisan uses. It has rewarded rascals and rogues who helped it to gain power. It has inflated the currency with paper representatives of 65-cent dollars, thereby robbing labor and threatening capital. It has menaced the country with a law for controling the elections of the people by force and fraud. And it is now seerFing to retain power by the most unblushing bribery and corruption ever practiced in an election in this country. Is it any wonder that the Democrats find fault? Can they as patriots do less than con- centrate their protest into oné tremendous kick on the 8th of November? * protected Mrs. Cleveland’s Touching Sympathy. Col. MoCluré’s New York Dispatch to Philadelphia Times. The announcement of the death of Mrs. Harrison made political friends and foes of the stricken President unite inthe sincerest expressions of sorrow. The common broth- erhood of the American people was exhibited onevery side as the generous humanity of the noblest people of the world asserted itself. The headquarters of the Democratic National Committee led in draping its flag and lowering it to half-mast, and I never was prouder of American womanhood than this evening when I heard Mrs. Cleveland, ina circle of casual visitors, express the tender. est sentiments of sorrow over the affliction that has fallen upon the homeof the Presi- Gent. Her sweet, simple, unaffected manner was even more impressive thanthe tremu- lous words With which she voiced the uni- versal sympathy of the nation. A Case for Mr. Roosevelt. From the Philadelphia Record. Mr. Preston Terry, Postmaster at Terry- ville, Suffolk County, N. Y., having been re- moved a few days subsequent to his refusal to respond to a Republican campaign assess- ment, wrote to Washington asking the na- ture of his offense. He has been informed by Mr. E. G. Rathbone, Fourth Assistant Postmaster-General, that ‘‘it would not be practicable for the department to enter upon written, . discussions .of its causes. for changes.’’ This is not very satisfying as an answer to 4 civil question, but it must be civil service reform, for the party has frankly ad- mitted tothe whole world that it is enam- ored of that.

Asone instance of this fact the following will not be without its moral and its meaning to those who give an real attention tothe settlement of the tari controversy : A Scotch roller from one of the mills across the big pond recently visited Pittsburg, and while there expressed surprise at the labor- Saving methods employed inthe mills and the quantity of work accomplished by in- dividual workers in the various departments ofthe great plants. In speakingto a repre- sentative of one industrial journal a few days later, he stated that a man working in the same department in the mills of Great Britian accomplished just about one-fourth what the American workman did in the same time. This statement was significant, indeed, for +thit tp ener rows: more light upon the reason for gher wages paid to American iron- workers tian all the nauseating titudes dispensed by misguided and ted. protec oO rs. If.an A an work- man with superior productive ities does four times as much work as his Srans- Atian- tic brother, is it not fairto presume that his wages will be higher? As a further proof of the figure which pro- duction cuts inthe wage questlon—showing that the American laborer does at least twice the work of the foreign laborer—it may not be out of place to recall the experience of the inventors of the McKay shoe- meg machine. Finding their English royalties a great deallessthan in factories in Amerita employing an equal number of men, they set an investigating committee to work to look into the matter. They found that the En- glish mechanic performed only 47 per cent of the work done on the same machine in the shoe factories of Massachusetts. That ex- plains the higher wages ofthe factory shoe- maker in the old wg, Beg ae and not the pro- tective tariff, as Mr. McKinley would have us believe, When itis shown that the tariff does not raise wages, the stock argument of the pro- tectionists is rendered entirely useless, and this is so easily shown, as indicated by the foregoing facts, that it is amazing how any man blessed with brains can permit himself to be humbugged by the meaningless twaddle of the McKinleyites. When men have suffi- clent mental acumen to gee that co-exist- ence or succession of two facts does not neces- sarily imply a causal connection between them, they will see what a palpable fraud bas been perpetrated upon them for the last thirty years,and to give the public mind the nec essary discipline it behooves us to point out the real causes of higher wages.

To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch: Itisa humillating spectacle to witness the hesitancy and feebleness of the Board of Pub- lic Improvements, to whom fs delegated as the agents and representatives of the citi- zens and taxpayers of this city, the power and the duty ofenfoicing the ordinances re- lating to the erection of tha new Union Depot. That ordinance, as published in your paper recently, Is as plain as the English lan- guage can make it, and every member of the board is as capable of interpreting its. meaning asthe Olty Counselor. Thatdt is ignored and nullified is ss to every person who yisits the site of the new depot. ere certainly is no serious obstacle to the enforcement of this, more than any other of the numerous ordinances regulating Our corporate and nunicipal affairs. The police power is ample and the courts are open and within easy reach. The work has not advanced to that stage wherea change would entail serious loss. Now is the time to i take prompt and energetic action, all that is necessary isthe will, the means are provided, This is a time when our agents (pubiie servants) are closely watched to see what kind of stuff they are made of, and how, they regard the performance of public duty. Dr. Taussig, in his interview with your re- porter, speaks of the destruction of the orna- mental features of his bullding by the en- forcement of the ordinance. That is his funeral, not ours. The depot is for use, and we shall need plenty of room to use it, but ifthe doctor desires to do any ornamenting he must doit south of the forty-foot line. Thisis an extremely im- portant matter for the peopie of this growing city. Everyinchof unincumbered space in front of the depot and proviced for in the or- dinance will be absolutely needed, and to allow the Union Depot company to violate its agreement in this case is to invite every corporation seeking priv- lleges and franchises to ignore the law and defy all restraint and regulation by the city authorities. Surely the members of the Board of Public Improvements will hesitate long before they invite this condition of affairs by their actionin this matter. A cor- poration is oe under the most flimsy pretext toset aside and disregard its contracts, agreements and obligations. That portion of its work that comes within the forty-foot strip ought to be stopped imme- diately and remain suspended unfil the Union Depot Co, agrees to comply with the city ordinance. If they are allowed to go ahead and complete their building there will be no redress, CITIZEN, The Price cf Tinware. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: Permit me to disprove Mr. Niedring- haus’ claim thatthe tin tax has not made tinware any dearer. Just after the passage of the McKinley bill a large wholesale jobber of tinware on Wash- ington avenue in this city burned out, and in adjusting his insurance of course produced his invoices to prove the cost of his goods ; now that was not all, for Mr. Jobber said to the insurance company, these goods were bought before the passage of the Mc- Kinley bill, and, according to market price at present, have advanced 15 per cent, and after verifying the, same the company pald him his invoice price and 15 per cent additional and lcan assure you that these finsurarce companies Go not pay anything they don’t have to. For proof of the above see Insurance Adjuster Butier. 80 I guess there is one positive preof that. tinware is higher than it has been in twelve. years. In this case the advance made a difference of several thousand dollars; now it would ve millions of dollars if you would aad together the thousands of stocks of manufactured tinware on hand atthe time of the passage of that billand the consumer did not derive one 5-cent benefit from it.

For several nights past the peaceful neigh- borhood ia the vicinity of the rippling little River Des Peres and the old Tanzberger homestead has been disturbed by a ghost. The apparition is a Woman, a beautiful lady with long, curling hair that falls below the waist. Her nocturnal visits have causeda profound sensation in that neighborbood,and at present it is impossible to get children to go out on the streets. This pecullar phantom is seen, it is said, between 9o’clock and mid- night only, in the dark and gloomy alleys or near the thick brush that lines the river.

WITTENBURG; Oct. 81.—This old town of pointed gables, quaint towers and narrow streets to-day presents an unique aspect. Everywhere bright banners and floral fes- toons are seen and the whole town bears a holiday appearance, A great pavillion has been built in front of the Schiosskirche’s doors, where the Emperor will receive the keys of the edifice. This church was commenced in 1489 and finished in 1499.In 1760 it was seriously injured by bombardment and it suffered in the same manner in 1818-14, It was first re- stored in 1814-17 ana hasnow, owingto Eni- peror William’s generosity, been again re- stored. On thenorth side of the churchare the wooden doors to which Luther affixed histhesis. The doors were burned in 1760, but were replaced in 1858 by metal doors ten feet in height presented by Frederick Will- flamiv. They bear the original Latin text of Luther thesis. Above on a golden ground is a representation of Christ, with Luther and Molanchton at His feet. On the right and left above the doors are statues of the ejectors Frederick the Wise and John the Constant. The bodies of these electors are buried in the church. LUTHER’S RELICS. Everywhere in the town are evidences of the great reformer. Not far from the rail- way. station, outside the Elster Thor, stands anoak that was planted in 1830. This tree is said to mark the spot where Luther publicly burned the papal bull on Dec. 10, 1520. This spot is said to have been selected forthe purpose by Luther because here were buried the clothing of those who had died fromthe plague. In the Collegian strasse is the Augusteum, in the court of which stands Luther’s house. The first floor is fitted up as a Luther hall and contains many articles that belonged toLuther. In . the vestibule are anumber of paintings rep- resenting scenes in Luther’s life. In the Market place stands a statue of Luther under a Gothic canopy. The base bears the in- scription: ‘‘ists Gotte’s werk so wirds Destehn; ists amenschen werk, wirds un- terghn’’ (If it be Goda’s work, it will endure; if man’s, it will perish),. Under,a brazen siab in the Schilosskirche He the remains of Luther. Immense crowds of people from all parts of the country are in the town to wit- ness the dedication of the restored church. AN ABSENTEE. Although the present King William of Wurtemberg is but distantly connected with the late Dowager Queen of Wurtemberg, the Grand Duchess Oiga, the King appears to have promptly grasped her death as an ex- cuse for not proceeding to the Lutheran cel- ebration at Wurtemberg. King William, who Is himself a Lutheran, was traveling to Wittenberg when he heard of Queen Olga’s cdeath and he immediately returned to Marienwahi Castile. King William, although a faithful adherent of the Lutheran Church, has not taken kindly tothe Wittenberg ce!l- Thirty per cent ¢ — Claims Made by City Ubaplain Haggerty Gn His Report. LIQUOR RESPONSIBLE FOR FILLING THE PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS. He Alleges That Nine Out of Every Ten People in the Jail, Work-House and Citr Hospital Owe Their Presence There to Intoxicants—Evangelizal Al- liance Mooting—Ministers Disfran- chised. The Evangelical Alliance held their regular meeting this morning at Bowman Hall, No. 1505 Lucas place. A large number of minis- ters were present, considering the inclement weather, The opening religious exercises were led by the Secretary, Rev. W. W. Hop- kins. City. Chaplain Rev. Thomas Hagerty in his report spoke of his workin the City Hospital, the Work-house, the Jail, and the other pubiic institutions. He gave it as his belief that nine out of ten inmates of the hospitals owed their condition to drink and he declared that as! long as liquor flows the stream of crimes and accidents will continue to broaden. Rev. Mr. CorringtOn said that he did not care tocriticiso Mr, Hagerty’s re- port, but he would be pleased to have the City Ohaplain specify in de- tafl his visite to the city institutions. Rev. Mr. Hagerty said that he had regularly visited the City Hospital, the Jatl, and the Work-house. He said that he did not visit the Insane Asylum because the demented in- mates would hug or curse a minister and were not susceptible to moral influences, It was decided to have a blank form prepared for Rev. Mr. Hagerty to fill out with his re- ort. M Rev. M. G. Gorin of the Board of Council- ors announced that Dr, Niccolls had been chosen to address the next meet- ing of the alliance on the revival movement, and Rev. J. Henry George of the First Congregattonal Church had been appointed to read a paper at the meeting following. Rev. Dr. Gorin sald that Rev. Dr. M. Rhodes of St. Mark’s English Lutheran Church had been selected to reada paper to-day on ‘‘Chgist in the Old Testament.’’ Dr, Rhodes said that he did not know that his paper wason the programme forto-day, and he had come unprepared. The Secretary, W. W. Hopkins, suggested that asthe constitution of the alliance pro- vided forthe election of officers annually, and as by custom the election was held atthe January meeting, it would be advis- able not to hold the election for 1893 next January, becausein that month the alliauce will bold the wreat revival. On motion, it was decided to chanwe the constitution so astohave the election in February of each ear. ' Rev. M. G. Gorinof the Evangelistic Com- mittee submitted a report supplementary to the report made at the October meet- ing. Hie reviewed briefly the pro- ceedings of the meetings of Oct. 13 and 27 at the Second Presbyterian Church, called to arrange for an undenoml- national revival next January. ‘The report was adopted. Rev. Mr. Barth was electe! a member of the alliance and Rev. Mr. Powell, a superannuated Methodist preacher, who was a pastor in St. Louis thirty-two years ago, was introduced. Ministers Disfranchised. A love feast held at the Elen Methodist Episcopal Church, Warren and Nineteenth streets yesterday, was fora short time con- verted into a howling Republican meeting, in which strong protests were made agalist the wholesale slaughter of names on the registry books by the Revision ©om- mittee. There were presenta large number ofthe members ofthechurch, and many of the German Methodist preachers o the city. All present were taking opportunity of: the privileges of the love feast totell their religious experiences, and one brother in some oid way male men- tion in his confession of the Recorder’s rewgis- tration books. Thts was the match wulch set afire the fuse; of Republican dilssatisfac- tion, which wasepidemic aimongtie mintsters and laity present. Rev. Philip W. Jacoby, pastor ofthe German Methodist Church, No. 1500 Wash street, and residing at No. vli7 North Fiiteenth street, ania minister well known in St. Louls, arose and declared that he had received a notice from the Republican Registration Committee In- forming him that his name lad been stricken from the registration books and asking see was returned, Mr. ‘leclared that lie was surprised at the information brought him by the circular, and be lost no time in going to the Recoraer’s office/and having his name restored to tiie books. He sail that no canvasser had come to his residence, but because one man told another man, who informed the canvasser that Rev. Mr. Jacoby did not reside at tue house from which he was registered, his name was stricken off. Rev. Mr. | Jacoby did not hesitate to say some mean things about the persons responsible for his temporary dis- franchisement, even if he was taking part in alovefeast. Others of the German Methodist ministers present, all of whom were known to uncompromising Ke- publicans like: Rev. Mr. Jacoby, said that they too had been disfranchised and were unable to have their hames put back. But one minister, asif to shine over his Qisgruntied, brethren, declared that he had duly registered and therefore he was not disfranchised. His remark brought down on him the laughter of the other ministers who agreed with Dr. Jacoby that all the ministers had been dalisfranchised in the last few hours todeprive them of an opportunity to have their names restored. Presbyterian Extonsion. An adjourned meeting of the Northern ssencimes Judge Castleman Issues Orders Concern: ing the Keeping of Court Records. Upon the opening of the Criminal Court this morning, Judge Castleman made the following order: Pe ag of the St. Louis Criminal Court adopted Oct. No entry of record or upon the minutes shall be made by the clerk unless #8 memorandum in writing shall be handed down bythe Court signed by the Judge. Grorek A. CASTLEMAN, Judge. In making the order the Judge said that he was led todo so by the report of the May Grand-jury to the effect that wrong entries had been made in the Court’s records and two prisoners committed to jail who had been sentenced to the Work-house, He didn’t want anything of that kind to occur during his administration. The first application of the new rule was in the case of Wm. Moore, the negro given fifteen years by a jury last week for burglary and larceny. Mooreis now sorry that he didn’t plead guilty to grand larcen take a light sentence and has employe counsel to help nim out of his trouble. This morning McDonald and Howe filed a motion for a new trial, making the usual allegations in such motions. The attorney wanted to file the motion with tbe Clerk direct before consulting Judge Castleman, but was in- formed that he must first present the matter in writing to the Judge, in accordance witha new ruling of the court. This course was taken, and the Olerk then, upon the order of the court, filed the paper and made an entry of it in his records. TROUSERS ARE DIARER.

From the New York Times. ‘*1’ll make youa pair of trousers off that piece of goods for $8.60,’ said the tallor. ‘*l won’t pay $8.60 fora palrof ftrousers,’’ said the customer. ‘*Will you pay $8?’’ demanded the talior. ‘‘Why should 1?’’ was the response. ‘‘I tell you what it is, you are getting dearer than you used to be. When you first started here inthe spring of 1890 1 could buy my trousers ana other things quite reasonable. Last year I had to pay a little More, and this year it’s a good deal more. That’s the way With tailors;they bait their customer with low prices, but when they’ve caught him they make up for it.’’ ‘*‘Nonsense,’’ expostulated the _ talior. ‘Why, I give you my word of honor, We are selling on the same margin that we sold on in 1899. We don’t ask a bit more profit than we got then. But say, old fellow, how much do you expect to pay for your trous- ers?’’ ‘*Why $7, or something like that. You’ve sold me excellent trousers for $7.”’ ‘*But that was before the passage of the McKinley bill. We pay more for our goo:ls now, a zood deal more, and, of course, we can’t sell at the same old prices; if we did we would lose money. kvery Man who buys clothing must pay a little more for it than he would have paid If the tariff had remained as it used to be, unless—’’ ‘‘Unless what,’’ impatiently demanded the customer when the tailor seemed to hesitate. ‘*Unless,’’ said the tailor, ‘‘he is willing to wear inferior goods. For instance, I can give you trousers for $7a pair, but they won't be so goud as those I used to make for you at that price. Here’s a plece of goods thatI can make up for you for $7, but I doubt if you want it.’”’ ‘*Foreign or domestic?’’ demanded the cus- tomer. ‘*Domestic, and, besides that, there’s a IMt- tle cotton in it in the back.’’ ‘*T hen it’s not all wool?’’ ‘*Pretty much, but not guite. manufacturer has to pay duty and he has to be savinyv on it.’’ **tlow would it wear?’’ **Well, ic would wear fairly—not like good goods, though, and, of course, you Know we. couldn’t make the trousers hang so Well and keep their shape so well, using this stuff. My advice to rou would be to pay more and get the better thing. Kight dollars, or cven $8.50, is not very much,’’ no Rae **No, that’s true, but if I get, four., patrs, of trousers it countsup, and, besides, it’s just the same thing on coats and vests,overcoais, hats, flAannels—everything I wear, almost. This confounded McKinley act seems to run uv against me wherever I yo, and I tell you |this the customer said rather excitedly] i’m vetting confounded sick of It. ‘*I’ve madeap my mind to one thing,’’ he wenton; ‘‘i shall vote fozturi® reform next month. Inever voted the Democratic ticket before, but this constant tap, tap, tap or the tariff_is mofe than lean stand. Isnali cer- tainiy vute the tari? reform ticket this year. l’ve been robbed enough.’’ ‘*That’s the way we shall vote,’’ said the tfaflor; **my partnerand!.

One littie point as tothe covering of the arm and bosom.’’ Mrs. Caindown: ‘‘Oh, asto that. ft is im- material. iwill leave ittoyour own indis- cretion.’’ A Case Where It Wouldn’t Work. From the Chicago Tribune. ‘*Ever in jail?’’ asked Dare- Devil Dick. ‘‘Once,’’ answered Bloody Bill. ‘‘Hoss stealin’.’’ **Git sent up?’’ ‘*‘Yes. Two year.’’ **Whar was y’r pals? an alibir’’ ‘*Yes, they could hey proved one fur me, but they coulan’t bev proved no alibi fur the hoss.

There was no demand to speak of, as shippers are not buying at all, claiming that our market wes coinparativ ely higher ‘than those of other points, and most city buyers have enough stock left overto runthema good part of this week. Hence the market was entirely at the mercy of the buyers, who did not manifest any déPire to purchase even at retuced prices. - The causewof the overstocked and depressed, condition of our market is the fact that prices here have been better main- tained than at other leading markets, and thata greatdealof stock has been unloaded here in the past week that under other circumstances would have been shipped elsewhere. As stated there was little demand, as dressers and shippers were not buying at all, a great inany of the smaller buyers off the street.

All crops are materially ben- efiting by the’change, and if nothing unforeseen oc- curs a great improvement inthe out-turn may be ex- pepted. Many places show an excess of rain over the average, and those that are short on paper have had ainple rain for the present.

E. L. Wood of Dallas, Tex., one of the lead- ing Populists of the Lone Star State, arrived in St, Louis this’ morning to consult with Chairman H. E. Taubeneck in regard to Texas politics. Mr. Wood stated that Texas would give the People’s party somewhere in the neighborhood of one hundred and sixty-five thousand votes and three Congressmen, Kearby of the Sixth District, Pergue of the Fifth and Ferrell of the Kleventh. In discussing the Clark-Hogg- Nugent fight for Governor Mr, Wood stated that to the best of his knowledge Gov. Hogg was losing ground on account of the magnificent campaign work being done by Clark followers, Contin- uing, he said: ‘‘Both Clark and our candidate for Governor, Judge T. L. Nugent, are cutting down Hogg’s vote, and for that reason the election for Governoris going to bea close one. The man who is elected will not receive 1 60,000-votes over the hindmost man, who will either be Clark or Hogg; as Judge Nugent will either come under the wire first or he wi ll be neck-and-neck with the man who does.

Hedid noi be- lieve that Macklin spoke forthecity admin- istration. not Incidents of the Revision. The last session of the Boardof Revision was full of interestingincidents. At the very outset of the work the House of Delegates, where the board was sitting, being crowded with applicants for reinstatement, Reviser D. J. Kelly got up and announced that he was going to vote against all the peti- tioners., **‘The canvassers go out in the wards,’’ said he, ‘‘and go to the houses to ask if the men registered from there live there. Well, the people in the houses take the canvassers for duns; think they’ve got a bill, and tell them the men they’re hunting for don’t live there, They get struck and then they come down ee am going to vote against every one of them.’’ Mark Chartrand’s pernicious activity Killed one good Republican vote at least. This was the vote of Henry Briggs, who had registered at 2626 Baldwin street. He was struck off and asked for reinstatement, mak- Ling an affidavit that he lived at the number. Jack O’ Keefe of the street department came before the board and declared that there was no such number as 2626 Baldwin street. The revisers were about to refuse the appli- cation when Reviser Kolb got up. ‘*This man swears that he lives at that number,’’ he said. ‘‘Let this other man who deries it make Oath to what he says, too.’’ This sounded fairand O’Keefe was asked totakethe oath. He refused to a- _ Thereuponthe revisers changed their mtiad and were about to replacethe name, when a loud squabble between Mark Chartrand and secretary E. J. Maroney at the desk at- tracted attention. ‘*) say he’s all right,’’ said Chartrand. ‘*Well, he is if a man 50 years old can vote the name ofa man 22 years old,’’ replled the secretary. sarcastically. The lstening ears of Reviser Guthrie caught the remark. ‘‘Mr. President,’’ he shouted, interrupting Chairman McPheeters, about to put the vote, ‘‘I move that the Sec- retary repeat tothe board what he has just said.’’ Secretary Maroney modestly begged par- don for intruding his opinion, and said he would not have presumed to discuss the board’s proceedings had he not been goaded toit by the interference with his work of the men_ sitting in front, aliuding to Chartrand, John A. Gernez and Ferd Kohifing. He had himself registered this man who said his name was Briggs, and had noticed that he was a middle-aged man, while on the books the age ‘‘22’’ was marked opposite the name of Henry Briggs, -which the man was transferring. The board kept off the name unanimously, and Chartrand sank back in his seat wishing he had not said anything. Reviser Woodlock’s cheerfulness several times relieved a very Serious situation by a touch of the comic. Once there was a question between Reviser ‘fantyanda negro named Jake Pitzer, who ad been struck off. The reviser said he had been to Pitzer’s house, and the people there had told him the man did not livethere. Pit- zer brought his landiady tothe meeting, and she went on the stand with him and declared that he had lived with her for five years, and that she had not seen areviser. She was rattling away volubly, when President Mc- Pheetcrs stopped her to putthe vote. Re- viser Woodlock arose, posing himself grace- fully against the desk In front, and pointing hisiongarmand a threatening forefinger at the chairman, shouted: ‘*Mr. President, I move that the lady be heard.’’ The laughter that fellowed angered him. **Mr, Chairman, I insist that the lady be heard.’’ The vote was taken, Pitzer was _ rein- stated and Reviser Woodlock sat down with the announcement. ‘*1’m *posed—fraud—voting—but I want— honishtration.’’ President McPheeters, who was the oldest reviser in point of service on the board, dls- agrees with Reviser Olarke as to the time for the board’s adjournment. He says that the board was right to adjourn Saturday night, and gives the action of the last board, under Recorder Williams, as a precedent. Will Help the City Campaign. Col. Edgar M.

How It Looks in Lilinols. Capt. Gill of Murphysboro, UJl., the Demo- cratic nominee for Lieutenant-Governor, came tothecity last evening and left this morning forthe other side of the river with Congressman Wm. Forman. Capt.Gill called at the State headquarters at the Laclede and informed Maj. Salmon that Illinols was sure to go Democratic. ‘*‘We believe,’’ he said, **that our State ticket will be elected, and if Chicago gives the expected vote we will carry the electoral vote for Cleveland and Stevenson. Gen. Stevenson is indeed a fa- vorite son of our State and all the people over there respect him. They will give him a most cordiai support, and doing this they will help all the nominees.

On long tables were laid out hun- dreds of wax and bisque babies, from tiny mites, aninch long, upto such lfellke crea- tures that it was no surprise to hear them say, *‘papa’’ and ‘*mamma,’’ The presiding genius of this room that would make a little girl’s eyes pop out of her head was a tall, graceful blonde, who we learned afterward could show sales mount- ing up ‘nto thousands of doilars. She said her territory extended all through the West and that her trips usually lasteu three months.

A Noble Husband.

The warrior inguired of the Prince what he would give to be reinstated in his kingdom, and he replied that he valued his crown and his liberty ata very low rate, but if the noble conqueror would restore his beloved wife to her former dignity and possessions he would willingly pay his life forthe purahase. The prisoners were dismissed to enjoy their freedom and former honors, and each was lavish in praise of the conquerer. **And you,’’ said the prince, addressing his wife, *‘what think you of Cyrus?’" *‘i did not observe him,’’ she replied. **Not observe him!’’ exciaimed her husband; ‘‘upon whom, then, was your attention fixed?’’ « nthat dear and gen- exons a. * ube replied, eadiness u expense of his li At) es ory! meas 4 ap '.

Board Members Are Ritioett—Tiie Cash Prise System Discouraged—Johnson’s “Troublesome Record—The Godfrey- Choynski Fight—President Noel’s Plans—The World of Sport. New Yor«, Oct. 381.—The Times says: Sincethe meeting of the Returning Board of the League of American Wheelman held at Chicago last week much speculation has been indulged in as tothe decision arrived at re- garding the amateur question. There has been preservefl a decided silence by all the members of the board hearing on this sub- ject which is of such valuable importance to the membership of the organization at large. That a change has been decided on Is ad- mittedand only the necessary care which must be exercised in formulating the wording of the new rules accounts for the confidence displayed in the subject. There are to-day in the amateur fold League of American Wheelmen two classes of racing men, the fast and consequently prominent riders who tade advantage of the loose pro- visions of the presentamateur rules to gain a livelinood thereby, and theamateur whose lack of any great speed relegates him to a minor position in the racing world, and who proportionately has no market value. The former class are regularly paid by the manu- facturer to ride hismake of wheel through the medium of the various clubs who put the racing teams under their colors and names. The men are admitted through superior treatment to the average pure amateur, who lacks the advantage of first-class tralners and allexpenses paid. This, briefly, is the condition of the racing board, and the aifii- culty is not easy toarrive at. It is plain that the men must be separated in justiceto all, that an equal basis must be established and yet not split the organization upon the rock of professionalism. At present the amateur rule is a farce, and the ‘‘powers that be’’ cannot ignore the fact that, while it ts not possible, except in rare cases, toproclaim men pro- fessionals under its provisions,all the evils of makers-amateurism prevail. The change ne- cessary is of a constitutional nature and such action is dependent upon the favor of the national assembly at a constituticnal conveution called for the purpose, and the powers of the racing board begin and end with the offering of suit- able amendments, which will be taken care would be the result of careful study derived from the experience of the past season, which has been the most energetic in the history of the league. From what can be learned the changes that will be advised by the Racing Board will not include a recommendation for cash prizes. They are steadfastly opposed to sucha solution of the question and belleve that the method would simply precipitate the downfali of the organization, which has been built up to its present prominent position by thirteen years of progressive management. Probably no other subjectis next in im- portance totheamateur question with the average member of the League than the ac- ceptance or rejection of the record made by Johnson on the kite-shaped track. It stands alone asa fresh performance and will, of course, have no bearingon the authentic records made ifn usualform. That Johnson’s backers were, progressive, enough to adopt methods heretofore unheard of to reduce the time of the cycle forthe mile, should not be counted against the acceptance of the record, as all men now are at liberty totry the same procedure to still further lower the time made by thisman. No secret was made of the methods used, a running horse, a perfect shield forthe wind anda mandrawn along on a bicycle by the vacuum produced thereby. It has been claimed thata man could not pedal fast enough, or in other words, make his feet remain on the pedals while they were revoiving atarate sufficient to produce 1:56 for the mile. This may or may not be so, but if the track wasin properly measured conidi- tion andthe man who beld the watch per- fectly reliable and all other conditions in ac- cordance with record t."als, it becomes the duty of the Racing Boardto accept the record for just what is,a record made under the conditions named. The papers in this case were returned tothe senderto de made out more in detail. This the board insists upon, with justice, asthe record is too startling to be officially stamped without the fullest in- vestigation. Itis none too early to speculate upon the chances of foreign competition in next year’s races. The committee apnointed to arrange forthe next international races at | ot. Seby the present board. These amendments Chicago next yearare now at work andan important part of their deliberations tends toward the bringing together representatives of all countries in next year’s events. As the chances are even now in evidence of the Engiish team being onthe ground and that makes sure the representation of other countries. This international race question is an important factor in the amateur rule to beadopted by the league, as cash prizes would effectually kiil foreign contests in American races. HARDING'S WONDERFUL PERFORMANCE. Bert Harding of the St. Louis Cycling Club yesterday broke the old recordof Hal Ww. Greenwood over the famoas De Soto road. He started from the Cycling Club’s house, 616 North Ewing avenue, at 8:02 a. m. and ‘reached De Soto in 3h. and 55m., only seven minutes bebind his own record for the down trip. He stayed at De Soto lh. and ism., ee there at 1:10 o’clock forthe return trip. Hereached the Club-house on his re- turn at 5:27 o’clock, a total time out tor the round trip of 9h. 25m., beating Greenwood’s record by 2h. and 3im. Tbe distance is eae ha miles tor the round trip, over the most hilly road in this partof the country. The trip was carefully timed and checked and claim will be made tothe Century Koad Club of America to have the record entered on their books. WINDLE AGAINST CASH PRIZES. An argument against the awarding of cash prizesto bicyclists is advancea by Windle, who now holds the record for nearly all dis- tances uptofive miles, that speaks wellfor his honesty as an amateurrider, Hean- nounces that he will not ride for a cash re- ward and believes thata divisible prize will result in professionalism. As \ir. Windle lives up in Massachusetts in a quiet littletown where Puritanic honesty and uprightness ex- ist, he can be pardoned for not being aware thatthe amateur cyclist of to-day devotes much of his time, when not actually riding, to Casting about him fora profitable market in which to convert cups, planos and other trophies into cold, hard cash. CYCLE CHAT. Johnson claims that the use ofa screen on the sulky by which he was paced was to keep dust from the horse’s hoofs from him anu that he had no thought of it as aAvindbreak. In an English bicycle race the prtze, a fat porker, was converted into two glittering sovereigns immediately after the race bya -Mmeighboring butcher’s ald. They have no - racing board there.

This point will be tested to-night, because Godfrey is 40 years old, and since the Corbett- Sullivan fight the Knowing ones lay partic- ular stress on age. h men are experienced fighters and have trained in a conscientious manner. They will be thoroughly conditioned when they enter the ring to fight. Both men will fight for all that isin them, but it looks as though Choynski’s youth, reach and Cclever- ness should pull him out victorious. CRESCENT CHARLEY NOEL. NEw YORK, Oct. 81.—Charles Noel,formerly manager of the Olympic Club of New Orleans, and now President of the Crescent City Athletic Club of New Orleans, arrived here to-day. His object in visiting New York is to arrange another pugilstic carnival, the articipants to include Champion Jim Cor- ett and ‘‘Charley’’ Mitchell of England; Bob Fitzsimmons and Jim Hall, Champion John Griffin and Griffo, the featherweight champijon of. Austrailia... ‘‘A good. Many. peo- ple think Mitchell will not fight,’’ said Noel to-day, ‘‘butIthink be will.’ --He had net signed Mitchell, bet. from reliable sources, Noel says, glishman Will meet Corbett. If Mitchell re- jusesto fight Corbett Noel. hopes to match Peter Jackson against the champion. ‘the Crescent City Athletic Club, its President says, will outbid the Coney Island Athletic Club for the Hall-Fitzsimmons fight. A FIGHT BETWEEN GIANTS. PEORIA, lll., Oct. 81.—Mike Queenan, the Stock Yard giant of Chicago, and Dick Gra- ham of Brooklyn, foughta finish battle near this city early this mornin. The men are giants, Queenan being 6 feet 2 inches and his opponent 2 inches taller. The fight lasted fourmounds, The Brooklyn man was knocked out by a terrible drive under the chin. PUGILISTIC POINTERS. **Chappie’’ Moran has challenged any man in England or America at i107 pounds for £100 or £200 and the largest purse offered. Tommy Ryan writes from East Saginaw that he is working hard for his go with Collins in Detroit and that he is in good con- dition. Jesse Bennett of Chicago will referee the contest. Jack Wilkes of this city has telegraphed the California Athietic Club his wiilingness to makeamatch with Danny Needham at 148 pounds, the fightto come off in January or February. The fight will likely come off as Needham is willing. Edward Everett Bellof New York received recently a lengthy letter from Charley Mitchell in which that worthy says he is tired of Engiand and wants to live in the United States. They don't treat himas wellas they might, he says, while from Americans he has invariably received the utmost considefra- tion, The Britisher does not say how soon he intends to come over. Neither does he sa y anything about Corbett. THE TURF, Madison got a swinging lead in the race for the St. Louls Patronage Stakes when the flag dropped Saturday. This wasto be expected as the novelty of the opening drew thousands to the new track. The contest begins In earnest to-day and it remains to beseen whether the new association wlll hold its lead.

The latest departure of the Hudson County Jockey Club in establishing a school for jockeys and stable boys cannot be too highly commended, It is the idea of John Carr, one of the ‘* big four,’’ who realizes the advan- tages of education for all classes of racing men. Those whoare not familiar with the deplorabie lack of even the most essential of the elementary branches of a common school education among the humbler turfites .would scarcely believe that some of the star jockeys and shrewd trainers are barely able to read and write,while others cannot do better than make their ‘‘mark’’ when a signature is necessary. Mr. Carr deserves great praise for his good work. Itisamoveinthe direc- tion of honesty and ambition among future horsemen, THIS I8 GOING TOO FAR. The yearling trialrace tobe run at North Bergen next Saturday has brought forth an avalanche of adverse comment from race- goers. These babies, not yet 2 years old, may be able tostandatrialona fair, warm day under the eye of an experienced trainer, but racing them for a purse with whips and spurs is another matter. Thatthey are no the highest class yearlings is no excuse. It is not 106 late to call the race off. A stormy day would take what little interest certain horsemen may have fn such a race away, and leave nothing but condemnation for the Management. Sucharace is not «ood for speculation ana is calculated to open anotber argument forthe enemies of winter racing. Many doubt very much whether the so-called race willeverberun.

Maxthrew Connors in 26 minutes. Connors surprised the audience by his cleverness and showed himself to be a wrestler ofno mean ability. Luttbee was every bit a match for him and though his victory was accidental he showed more likelihood of throwing Connors than Connors did of throw- inghim. In attempting to) throw Luttbeg over his shouldér Connors, gave the little man an opening, which he improved by tossing his opponent over his head. Connors alighted on the back of his neck, and for an instant his shoulders touched the ground, It was a fiying fall, and the referee awarded the match to Luttbeg. Connors was very much put out by the decision, and offered to wrestle Luttbeg catch-as-catch can on the spot. ‘sommie Howard and Mike Mooney will wrestie at the Natatorium a week from next Sunday afternoon.

From the Chicago Journal. Shopping witha baby to look afteris not an unadulterated joy. Shopping is tiresome enough under any circumstances, but when achild hasto be dragged along itis weari- some to a degree. And just think of the poor little thing, dragged through crowded aisies, into elevators so packed that the child can hardly breathe, along sidewalks thronged with people, What wonder that un- der these circumstances the child becomes fretful and cross! Children instinctively hate crowds and confusion. Their rightful place is in the pure alr, with birds to sing to them, the sky for their shelter, the green grass for their floor, orelseinan airy, bright nursery where toys can be scattered helter skelter, and everything within sight turned into a plaything without the everlasting cry **Don’t touch that’’ ringing in their ears. They ought never to be crushed in crowds or allowed to draw into their Ifttle lungs the unwholesome air of acity shop. Onecan expend a great deal of sympathy on the children and still have some left for the weary woman who has one or more under her protection. **We will take Mabel with us,’* said a guest of mine one day when we were starting down town fora day’s shopping. ‘‘I simply can’t can’t trust her very long out of my sight.’’ After we haa loitered about for an hour or so at one place, waiting for a trivial purchase and a nickel in change, compassion got the better of me, and the rest of the da Icarried the poor little weary %-year-oid. When we started homeward it was just the time of day when the business men were flocking bome. ‘‘Keep. the ba) > sald my friend, pleasantly, ‘‘and you be stire to geta seat. Noman will allow a woman with ababyin her arms to stand.’’ I Kept the baby, and 1 stood ali the way home. EBeaut ful Macintoshes For ladies and gents.

While playing on the roof of a building near home recently Fellabaum, now 14 years old, fell to the ground, alighting on the projecting portion of his back. There was a sharp report like the breaking of aspring and when he got up he found himseif not only uninjured but his back perfectly straight. His parents feared internal injuriés and he was accord- ingly taken to a physician for examination, but no injury could belocated. The suppo- sition is that the blades had become elevated and muscular achesion had grown between them, halding them in their distorted posi- tion. The force ofthe fall broke these liga- mentsandthe Diladesimmediately assumed theirnormal position and the boy became traight.

From the EF) Paso Bullion, Our fellow citizen, Z. T. White,is the owner of what we believe to be the most interesting insectand mineral specimen in existence. Some monthsago Mr. White was presented with a specimen taken from considerable depth in the Longfellow Mine of Clifton, Ariz. When the specimen in question was frac- tured, a beetie of dull reddish gray was dis- closed, surrounded by a closely-fitting mold ofiron ore; in fact, the beetle lay in state as perfect as in life, in its sarcophagus of iron. Naturally very much impressed with his acquired property, Mr. White hastened to envelop itina piece ofcloth, with the view of conveying it to his cabinet. On his way, however, he had occasion to examine the In- teresting specimen, and his surprise may be bettor imagined than described when he per- ceived a young beetle slowly emerging from it’s dead parent’s body, and in every char- acteristic resembling it, barring the fact that it was smaller, How She Got It Into Her Head. From the Cincinnati Inquirer, A class in the Cumminsville Intermediate School was engaged .in the study of geogra- phy on Friday night when the question as to who discovered the Pacific Ocean came Up, It was agreed that it was balboa, ‘‘Now who was SBalboa?’’ asked the teacher. ‘*‘He wasa shoemaker,’’ answered a little 12-year-old girl. ‘‘Oh, no, you are mistaken,’’ said the teacher, ‘‘but how did you get that into your head?’’ ‘*Isaw it in the history, and here it is,’’ answered the girl. The history said that Raiboa was a ‘‘free- booter,’’ and the child Insisted, much to the amusement of her fellow puplis, that that meant that he made shoes for nothing. Con- sequently he must have been a shoemaker. Wit Whetted by Appetite. From the Philadelphia Press. A well-known lawyer and author of this city, whois a relative of Senator Sherman, once had a head cierk to whom he gave a lit- erary training and who became in time a regular contributor to severa! humorous pul lications. It frequently happened that the lawyer’s engagements kept him aways 550m his office until long after the time had fixed for his return, often to the distress of pee ores y mer liked toiunch regularly. The er, in desperation, sent to and bad printed the folidete rates ’ showed it to his preceptor and Got There With Both Feet.

The Latest Effort of Instantaneous Pho- tography Described. From Electricity. Instantaneous photography has been per- fected to such a degree as to fix the image of @ cannon ball in its filght through the atr, and now a young French chemist, Henri Courtonne, has made a discovery by means of which objects far bayond the reacn of vis- lor. can be pictured to us as they appear at the moment. Sound being transmissible by telephone, M. Courtonne argued by analogy that light might be transmitted, too. As the telephone consists of a transmitter, a wire and a receiver, so there was reason to beiieve that these three organs might be adapted for transmitting light vibrations, and for this purpose the transmitter and re- ceiver should be prepared chemically for re- ceiving and giving out light instead of sound vibrations. This was done by substituting sensitized photographic plates for the orl: ' nary telephone plate. One ofthe plates was placed in front of an aperture through which an image was cast, andthis image, it is claimed, has been forwarded by wire and reproduced at the other end, HERMIT AND MINE OWNER, A Mysterious Old Man Who Refuses to Associate Wi'h Fellow Beings.

Hillsboro, Til HILLSBORO, Oct. 31,—The State Board of Healthand the people of various localities are seriously concerned about the increasing prevaicnce of diphtheria in many towns tin the State. From some, in fact the majority of these places, no reports in reference to the disease are sent out, the business men being afraid such will keep away trade from the towns. Schools are closed at a number of points on account of it, and a condition bordering on panic exists in more than one towh. Investigations reveal inevery instance where the disease has received a foothoid that it is dueto grave sanitary defects in the locality, and failure to entorce the only known methods of controlling and suppress- ing this domestic pestifence—to-wit, !Isola- tion and disinfection. Where these ‘precau: tions are negiected, the disease spreads in- definitely, as is shown by a rerord kept proving that in the 160 last outbreaks tn* ulferent localities where isolation and dis- infection were enforced, the total number of cases was limited to 286, and the total number of deaths was sixty-six, In 100 outbreaks occurring’ during the same time where isolation and dils- infection were neglected the total number of cases Was over 1,600, and the total number of deaths Was #26. Isolation anda disinfection reduced the total number of .cases to about one-sixth, and the total number of deaths to one-fifth. There isno denying the fact that in lilinols the falland winter of 1893-93 bids fair to see alarge diphtheria epidemic. Full instructions forthe proper carrying out of prtety yds measures bave just been pub- ished in pamphlet form by the State Board of Health for tree distrinution, and it urges upon municipal authorities and the head of every household that they use their influence toward the enforcement of these measures.

Epectacled Boston Woman. From the New York World. I strolled through the streets of Boston, up Washineton and down Tremont. ‘rhe streets were now filled with busy throngs, A thought struck me. I began looking out for the spectacles on nose, which I had been taught were one of the cheracteristics of Bos- ton femininity. On a cursory survey, my impression was one of disagreeable disap- pointment. 1 determined to make the matter a question of Mathematics. I would give it a fair trial. 1 would take the first 250 women I met in Wash- ington street, then the same number in Tre- mont street. There might be some difference in the character of the throngs. I found no essential difference, however. The propor- tion of spectacied to unspectacled women, counting in all ages, was 6 to 250 1in W ashing- ton street as against 7 jin Tremont street, or 13 out of a total 500 In both ‘str eets. fi doubt if a lesser proportion could be found in any other American city. These figures cheerea me. Another le was nailed. The Boston girl might be huinan after all.

New York, Oct. 81.—If the country follows Now York on Noy. 8, then Oleveland will; be - the next President. This is:the conclusion arrived at by the men in charge of the Demo- cratic side of the campaign at National and State headquarters, in this city; and it is based on the figures shown by the registra- tion now completely summed up and ana- "lyzed. yD Whe best promise of Democratic success in this State is found in the registration in this city—309,759. Itis about 30,000 heavier than ever before. It is decidedly a Democratic registration— the gains are all Demodratic, the decreases re all Republican, Itisa great registration for Cleveland and Stevenson. Allthe Demo- cratic managers are sincerely satisfied with it. They know what it means, because they know how the registration was worked for by the Democrats and that it ts fully up to their estimates of what it should be. Barring some of the so-called Republican districts the city is registered up to the full limit. One voter inevery five of population is what the census sharps callfor. One voter in six is nearer the factsin a city like this. But take it at one ia five, and eliminate Ke- publican decreases, and it appears that the Democratic vote must be registered up to the full limit, The Republican reserve vote has not come in. The Republican managers know it, and they are squirming for ‘‘fake’’ explanations of the registration that will encourage Ke- publican workers in the’ $tdtes that are doubtful, whichis not the case With New York State, which ts Democratic. COMPARED WITH 1888. In New York and Brooklyn the registration this year is in round numbers is about 50,000 more than it was in 1888. More than two- thirds of this increase concededly, goes tothe Democrats. Indications are that.the increase in the number of enrolied voters wil of itseif add about 20,000 voters to the Democratic piurality south of the northern boundary line ofthe city. The net Cleveland plurality in 1888 south of Westchester County was 71,053, andthe most conservative estimate that it is possible to make on the basis Turnished by the registration figures shows that Oleve- Jand will not receive less than 91,000 below that sameline, The best Republican boast is that Mr. Harrison willcome down to the northern boundary line with his plurality of 1888, which was 85,000, Ofcourse, no shrewd Republican politicians believe that Mr. Har- rison will come down with any such figures this year. They know he will not, and they say as much whenthey are pot publication. The New York City registration shows that the apportionment has rendered it impossible to makean analytical comparison of the reg- istration this year district by district. New York City has thirty Assembly districts. In 1888 and last year,for that matter, there were but.twenty-four. Theelection districts gre mot the same and even acomparison made on the basis of the election districts would be ofnovalue. Butthenew Twenty-ninth and Thirtieth Assembly Districts comprise "exactly the same (territory as was comprised last presidential year in the ola Twenty-fourth Assembly Dis- trict, and the district furnishes an excellent map to show that the increase in registra- tion is ail due to Democratic gains. In 1588, the registration inthis territory was 13,515. This year it is 17,748, a gain Of 4,436 in @ terri- tory that is overwhel y, Demoeraticand which gave Mr. Flower apltrality of 3,006 votes last yearin the gubernatorial contest. The great Democratic vote comes largely from the districts that are on the river, and in these districts the increases have been large, but they are Democratic. IN THK REPUBLICAN COUNTIES. All politicians know that New York cannot be carried by the Republicans except by ma- terial gains in their stronghold counties in the Southern and Western sections of the State. If the claims of Democratic managers in twenty-two of these Republican counties be well founded the reduction in majorities will be great enoughto transfer Harrison’s majority of upward of 14,000in 1888to Cleve- land. if one-half of the Democratic predic- tions be realized Harrison’s majority will disappear. The following table gives esti- ma changes in the ‘twenty-two counties which returned Republican majorities in ’ 3888. It will be noticed that the figures show acompromise between the Democratic and Republican claims: Harrison’s COUNTIES. Majority ta dhs.

If the ma- jorities are decreased as estimated Har- rison’s majority will disappear and Cleve- land will have the majority.

THE HARRISON VIEW... ‘At Republican headquarters’ the Demo- cratic view is, of course, notaccepted. ‘ihe _ following, which appears in the 7ribune, Mr. ’ Reid’s newspaper, this morning, indicates ' how the Republicans figure on the facts shown by the registration; os one ena in this we — through- out the State was. ed on Saturday. It is regarded by the mopathicnn leaders with complete satisfaction. A careful examina- tion of the returns not only from New York, County, and the. neighborhood of the | , but in the smalier c _ State. and from the _ rural tricts, so far as > ‘Heard’ from, » whi was made yesterday at Republican head- quarters assured Chairman Hackett and his associates in campaign work that the Re- publicans are certain of. g the State for Harrison and Reid. The State of New ork can be lost tothe Republicans only by the occurrence ofan unforeseen contingelicy, andthisisby no means likely in a canvass >" **fhe registration in this city is looked - @pon as significantly favorable to the Repub- « jeans. e Democrats have ali along pre- dicted a bigregistration of anywhere from 00 to 880,000 new latter was Mr. Croker’s upon which they could promnete a % Sar ; ue SA e r talking for . ; conservative poli h figured Garfield in 1880, which was about 12 percent, Harrison will have next moprth 118,000 votes. But Harrison’s increase in 1888 over Blaine jn 1884 was over 17 per cent. If this ratio is maintained at the coming elec- tion President Harrison’s vote would be 125,- | 000. Even at i15 per cent. increase over four yeurs ago the vote for the presidential Re- pubiican candidate would reach 119,500. **But the estimates at Republican head- quarters were placed at the lower figures of 116,000 votes for Harrison, and this would leave Cleveland 94,000, or 7,000 less than he recelved four years ago; that his majority will not exceed 90,000 in New York City seems a most reasonable conclusion, Adding 15,000 and 4,000 for the counties of Richmond, Queens and Suffolk will make the Democratic majority only 59,000for the Republicans in the interior to overcome. That they will come down to Kings with 90,000 or 95,000 majority for Harrison is far more likely than that they will bring down less than 60,000 ma- jority.’’ . EDITOR M’CLEEN’S FORECAST. The veteran editor, A. K. McCleenof Phil- adelphia, who has been in New York“ looking over the situation, hassent his viewsto his paper. His summing up of thé outlook has created a great deal of attention at the head- quarters 01 Doth parties here. e says: **The Republicans now practically concede the loss of New York, anditisan open secret that Senator Quay, after a full review of the situation from an inside standpoint, an- nounced tothe party managers that New York was hopelessly gone from them. t‘‘Four years agothe last fortnight of the campaign exhibiteda steady line of breaks from the Democratic ranks to Harrison. Not only manufacturers but farmers and business men of prominence maintained a continuous tide from Cleveland to Harrison. The coun- try was terrorized by the phantom of free trade, and with very rare exceptions the changes were in favor of Harrison. Now, even the blindest Republican leader must see that the popular drift is reversed—that the most conspicuous political changes ever wit- nessed since the organization of the Repub- lican party are now in progress and all in favor of Cleveland.’’ COMMERCIAL travelers invariably provide themselves with Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup. AT THE THEATERS. Exceptionally Strong Attractions Billed for the Week. Atthe Grand Opera-house Thomas Q. Sea- brooke and hiscomic opera company began a week’s engagement last night, presenting the opera, ‘‘The Isle of Champagne,’’ the work of Charles Alfred Byrne and Louls Harrison, the music being by W. W. Finst. The House was crowded to the doors, and proved by enthusiastic applguse that the new opera wasa success. The stage setting isas fine if not finer than anything ever seen here. Every scene is gotten up in a most excellent manner, and shows the work of aimmost accomplished scenic artist. Searcely less attractive is the beautiful cos- tuming of the characters. In these respects the ‘‘Isle of Champagne’’ need fear no com- parison with any opera of its class. Theil- brettists have done their work admirably. The piece is full of quaint fancies and bright hits that are constantly causing the audience to break out into roars of laughter, It might be ojected that too many ofthe good points are made by Mr, Seabrooke and too few al- lotted to the .other members of the com pany. The music is very good and there are a number ofcatching tunes. Mr. Seabrooke performed the part of King Pommery Sec’nd, and proved himself to be, in fact as well as in name, the star ofthe piece. A more amus- ing actor has seldom been seen in comic opera, and his singing in the various solos and dguets brought down the house and called forth encore after encore. As Diana, the belle of the isle, Miss Elvira Cox made hosts of friends. She sang her lines welland acted her part better, while her graceful, piquant bearing and tasteful cos- tumes added much to nttractive- ness of the opera. The part of the Puritan maiden Priscilla was sung by Miss Minnie Lander in an admirable man- nerand in her solo she proved that she possessed a voice that is equaito more than the requirements of comic opera. Miss Alice Hasam made anexcellent Abigail Peck and asa vixen was a decided success. Walter Allen acted the partof Appollinaris Frappe, the scheming Prime Minister, in an excel- lent manner, while the work of Robert Dun- bar, as Prince klssengen caused the audience to regret that his part did not give him wider scope. The chorus and Dallet were selected and trained in a way that might serve as a model to comic opera managers, Those who enjoy a bright musical comedy will find what they want in ‘‘The Isie of Champagne.’’ * 7 a At Pope’s, John C,. Rice,who is well-known here from his performance of ‘‘Aunt Bridget,’’ aopeared in the amusing farce,‘‘A Knotty Affair.’’ This is a congiomeration of absurd and amusing situations,songs,dances and specialties. Rice himself is exceedingly amusing, and the rest of the company is ex- cellent. In Sallie Cohen Mr. Rice has secured an excellent soubrette, while Hettie Haynes, Addie Boos, Harry Wallace, F.C. Palmer and W. H. Sloan were loudly applauded. *” * a The attraction at Havlin’s was Robert G. Morris’ realistic melodrama ‘‘For Loveand Money.’’ The play de&ls with the labor question, and while containing many excit- ing scenes and realistic effects is not by any means as sensational as some others of its class, Mr. Morris appeared as Prof. Bonevallet, and was frequently applauded. His support, among whom may be mentioned Paul Nich- oldson, Gerald Donalson, Dora Vinton; Zelda Worth and Ada Van Etta, was good. » . the A fine company of specialty artists has been collected by Fields and Hansonin ‘‘A Draw- ing Card.’’ Thereare in this production a number of bright songs, some excellent dancing, good juggling and other specialties. » a * The fact that Lillian Russell will open a week’s engagement at the Olympic to-night, insures lovers of light opera a rare treat. Miss Russell will appear to-night in ‘‘La Cigale,’’ which will hold the boards on Tuesday and Wednesday also. During the rest of the week ‘*The Mountebanks’’ will be substituted. There will be but one matinee, that billed for Saturday. * a Q To-night Richard Mansfield opens a week’s engagement at the Hagan. Mr. Mansfield comes here with an extensive repertoire, most noticeable in which isa dramatization of Hawthorne’s famous novel, ‘**fhe Scarlet Letter.’’ Owing tothe demand for seats for this play, Mr. Mansfield has consented to give three performances, on Tuesday and Thursday hbights, and at the Saturday matinee. ‘*Beau Brummel’’ will appear to- night and Friday night, and at the Wednes- day matinee. On Wednesday night Mr. Mansfield will appear in ‘‘A Parisian Romance,’’ and on Saturday night in ‘‘Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. His popularity asa character actor insures bim a warm wel- come. Next week Ferdinand Warde and Louls James appear with a strong company. Hear the Soul of a Krakauer Piano sing at Koerber’s, 1108 Olive street. THE COLLINSVILLE RALLY. A Grand Democratic Gathering to Be Held on Wednesday Next. The Democratic rally at Collinsville, Ill.,on Wednesday evening, Nov. 2, promises to be One of the largest and most enthusiastic gatherings ever held in that city. Already assurances have come from neighboring towns ofa very large attendance of clubs. The ‘*‘Young Democracy’’ of St.Louis is taking an active interest in forwarding the meeting, and will go over in full force. Hast St. Louls alsa promisesto senaits four clubs. A special truin will leave the Union Depot at 6:30 p. m., returning at il p. m. The fare is 60 cents for the round trip from St. Louis and 46 cents from East St. Louls.

Money Freely Used to Counteracot the Sentiment Against Harrison—An Even Chance for the Populists in Kansas— Democrats Hopefulin Iowa—Fusion in Minnesota. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind,., Oct. 81.—Since the managers of the National Democratic cam- paign fund feel assured that New York is safe for Cleveland, efforts are redoubled to wrest Indiana from Harrison. Whatever may bethe situation in other States there is no inaifference in Indiana, ‘*General apathy’’ is out of a job in Hoosierdom. Almost every Indianian fs a politician at all times, and when the presidential year comes round he is up early and late in behalf of his party. Were the vote to be cast to-morrow itis safe to say that Cleveland would have 10,000 more ballots than Harrison, This isa very conservative estimate. The more enthus!i- astic Democrats talk of nothing less than 15,000, and go so rar astocilaim 17,000 and even 20,000, Thatthe Republican National Committee have been for months back utterly disheart- ened at the outlook here, and that they are only making a last desperate assault upon the solid Democratic lines at the personal re- quest of President Harrison, seems to be generally conceded. During the past week they have poured in their heavy-weight speakers all along the line. Money is being poured intothe State and ‘*blocks-of-five’’ schemes of all varieties are inthe air.

New YorKE, Oct. 81.—The Republican lead- ersatthe national headquarters are ques- tioning Grover Cleveland’s* rightto vote at the coming election. They are keeping the matter very quiet and will not disclose their plans, butitis rumored that Mr. Cleveland will be challenged if he attempts to deposit his ballot on Nov. 8, The Democratic Presi- dential candidate resides at12 West Fifty- first street, the Thirteenth Election District ofthe Twenty-first Assembly, but did not take up his residence there till after Oct. 12, which renders it illegal, under the thirty days’ residence in the district clause, for hintovote. Mr. Cleveland when spoken to of the rumor said: **This is the first intimation I have had that our Republican friends would try to prevent my voting. You may say that I registered as early as possible on the first registration day, and that I shall cast my vote as early as possible on election day.’’ **Can there be any possibility of doubt about your legal right to vote?’’ **‘None at ail,’’ answered Mr. Cleveland. **‘Tentered this house early last May.

Among the steerage passengers on a steamer which arrived here recently was a young man, apparently 27 to 20 years old, who had plainly enough seen better days. As he leanea over the side of the steamer, about the moment the gangplank was being ushed aboard, he peered intently along the Ine of openings in the shed, as if hoping ros fearing that somebody would recognize m.

The ry brain power denies him the privilege of thougnhtru!l meditation or the solace of re tion. His intuitive impulse is to loosen the cords that bind him to - seif and to seek congenial companionship. This innate characteristic of sociability was intensified inthe plantation darky, whose master’s familly was usually the center around which the social microcosm revolved. Sundap was the day above all the rest when he could give full play to this tendency, and he was never happier than when in the midst ofa group, hearing himself and others talk. ‘*Gwine ter chu’ch,’’ therefore, always meant for him more of a season of social than religious enjoyment, though occasion- ally there were venerabie exceptions tothis rule. The darkies from all the neighboring plantations were tobe seenat ‘‘meetin’,’ and all the grotesque happenings of the week and bits of highly colored ygoss:p were to be exchanged amid hearty guffaws, in which the most innocent good nature abounded. The ante-vellum negro was always pictur- esque in his attitudes, "adjuncts and sur- roundings, and particularly suo ‘‘ober Sun- days.’’ hemanner of bis locomotion to and from the ‘‘meetin’ house’’ madea striking picture,. with a touch of irresistible drollery aboutit. More than Hkely he proceeds afoot, and iftbe aay be pleasant he carefully re moves his ‘‘sunday shoes’’ and the thick cot- ton socks, draws off his coat, throwsit over his jieft arm, and Cangies them from his right hand. With his impedaimenta thus adjusted the advances upon his way, with a quick, swayinze, shuMfing gait, a light heart, a plantation hymn at thetop of his tongue, or a cheery, rollicking whistie upon hislips. If the roads be muddy, the distante unusually great, Or the darky him- self the object of the master’s or overseer’s especial javor, he is indulged with the use of a horse, astride whose backbone he strings himself, his wife and a youngster or two. They jog along slowly, putting up withthe ludicrous discomtort of the arrangement with every evidence or: good humor, Ifthe attendant upon dlvine worship be far advanced in years, bis master, with hat respect for the aged so characteristic of the Southern gentiemen of the old school, places at his and ‘‘de ole coman’s’’ disposal an humbie vehicle, which has outlasted the greater part of its usefulness. harnesses a plantation mule, whose solemn Cemeanor and highly deliberate movements arein keeping with the measured, easy- going characteristic of the darky twain. they set out, the waodbling wheels de- scribing an endless serles of curves, convex and concave. ‘the venerable occupants are seated in split-bottom chairs and are attired in their ‘‘*bes’ bib-en-tucker,’’ with their fiaming apparel ‘‘settin’ two ways fer Sun- day’’—to employ the vernacular—by which they mean to suggest the all-pervading pres- ence of starch, which plantation darklies were accustomed to use unstintedly. Thus, with an entire absence of self-consciousness, the aged couple arrived at the church in due time. If itbe a shrine intended exclusively for dusky worshipers, the building will be a large rectangular structure composed of logs, the apertures between being chinked with inud and clay, and the roof consisting of rows of rough oak clapboards, held in place by long saplings lying lengthwise with the building, and these in turn being secured by prongs of hickory. The most conspicuous adjunct of thishumble house of worshiptis the chininey, which leans away from the structure witha hurt, offended air. It looks as though it were about to topple down, and its heterogeneous materiaisconstitute an im- penetrable mystery, held by a framework of of sticks and clay. There wvs no scarcity of negro preachers inthe ante-vellum days. On every planta- tion there were a namber of ‘‘exhorters,’’ who were regarded with pious fear aud ven- eration by the negroes. Inthe services con- ducted by these biack ministers the women participated as much as the men, and some of their ‘‘speriences’’ were extremely amusing; but allinall their worship was pe- culiarly impressive, if not weird, No rites of pomp or pride beguile their soul; No organ peals, no ciouds of incense roll, But, line by line, untutored voices raise, Like the wild birds, their simpie notes of praise. And hearts of love, with true devotion, bring Incense more pure to Heaven's eternal King. Singing is one of nature’s first and best gifts to the negro, and no music is more resonant with melody than the voices of sev- eral hundred bDiacks singing ‘*‘De Ole Shinin’ Zion,” as with supple genuflexion, their bodies swaying back and forth and their hands clapping, they keep time with the singing. An emotional race, the negro Is in- tensely susceptibie to the intluence of music, and with melody comes the irresistible de- sire to move the ieet, pat the Knee or make gesticulations with the hands. In the milder seasons ofthe yearthe negro worshipers assemble beneath a spacious arbor formed by a framework of saplings resting in the forks of small growing trees, or of others cut down and stuck into the ground. Uponthts crude scaffolding were deposited quantities of pine boughs, which protected the congregation from the sun and the showers, and dispersed an aromatic odor that was by no means disagreeable. Anobject of the most envious concern to the other darkies on the plantation was the family coachman, or carriage driver, or that one of theirnumber who was singled out togo with ‘‘young milstis’’ or any other member of the household toechurch. Aside from this being considered a recognition of superior meritand amark of speciai confidence, it carried withit many privileges whieh were greatly enjoyed. It meant more comfortable transit to and from church,more presentable apparel, and, best of all, ‘‘good eatin’s,’’ The sermon over, & general handshaking by the dispersing congregation was in order,and sometimes, whena sermon was to follow in the afternoon and the day was a pleasant one, the attendants divided themselves into, little groups here and there. ‘he baskets were opened and the lunches, prepared by the old-time Southern cooks, were heartily en- joyed. ! me : ‘Sd ye. 7 ee be. f * ¥ ms e Pee 1a e" ‘ Ors 1 af Se OF a Cl eee oe ee es te eee 3 te . -= 4 - - = s PP AEE TES BE y > ae ag 7 ue M4 +>} a ‘ * Z Keres | ey Se ig ae gs eB : * else, that pa be offered as “* just ama off good. it is, for him, but it can’t be, for you.
