From Every State Where Doubt Exists They Wire the Views of Leaders—All Gides Presented--Chairman Harrity and His Associates Show How a Demo- eratic Victory Will Be Won—Estimated Vote of New York by Counties—Three Committee Chairmen Tell How Indiana Will Go—No Point of Interest Omitted. Never before in the history of the country have so many States been classed as doubt- ful on the eve of a presidential election. Sev- eral causes contribute to this uncertainty. The most notable is the quick growth of and importance now assumed by the third party utter the lead of Weaver of Iowa. Fusion in the West and Northwest places at “Jeast 27 electoral votes in the balance, witha strong tendency to drop to the side of the Populists. Then the change recorded in many States at the Oongressional elections in 1890, when States thougnt to be reliably - Republican returned Democratic Representa- tives to Congress, has added tothe uncer- tainty of the result on Tuesday. From now until the votes are counted Tues- day night, interest centers in these doubtful States. Realizing that its readers will look to it for political news of deepest interest, the SUNDAY Post-DIsPATCH sent staff correspondents to the news centers of these important States. Local correspond- ents bave reported to these staff correspond- ents. {These staff correspondents have, furthermore, gathered all the information obtainable from committeemen and recog- nized leaders of all parties. Fromthe state- ments made to them and facts gathered from what they deem reliable sources, the deduc- tions presented in the special telegrams be- low are drawn. CS nn THE DOUBTFUL STATES. Chairman Harrity Shows How Cleveland Will Be Elected. New York, Nov. 5.—Tht Democratic na- tional campaign closed to-day with the men who have had charge ofthe work from the beginning to the end absolutely confident of the election of Oleveland and Stevenson by a good majority of the votes ofthe Electoral Colleges. The estimates of the result next Tuesday made at Democratic national headquarters to-day ate based on trust- worthy information from all the States in- cluded in the Democratic column. Here are some figures on the probable result. The statement of Harrity is clear and brief. Carter was asked if he would make a similar statement, but was afraid totrust himself. QTnere are 444 elec- toral votes, and 223 are necessary to ag choice go far as Harrison is concerned Chairman Harrity and his associates estimate that ‘Cleveland and Stevenson will get 244 votes from the following States: rn States t only votes inthis table regarded as at eli doubtful by the Democratic managers are the six votes of Connecticut. If they are lost Cleveland will stillbave 288 votes or fifteen more than enough to elect. Ohairman Harrity and his associates are “wery hopeful of carrying Connecticut, not- withstanding the desperate efforts the Re- publicans are now making !n the State. Chairman Harrity has received positive information from perfectly reliable sources that there is no doubt of the resuit in Indl- gna. A Democraticpoliticianin that State, “who is probably better informed on the situ- ation than any other manin the State, has written Chairman Harrity a letter in which he says: ‘‘I willstake my reputation on In- diana going Democratic next Tuesday.’’ wChairman Harrity to-night summed up the “4tuation from the Democratic standpoint we follows: ‘*I cannot put it any stronger jantosay thatiam entirely confident of me result. We will carry the solid South, 159 votes; New York, Indiana, New Jersey, Wisconsin, Michigan,6 votes, ana I think Connecticut. The Republicans havo made desperate efforts to carry West Vir- ginia, Delaware, Alabama and Connecticut. We will carry the first three States named. 1 and we are reasonably certain of Connecticut but class that as doubtful, when compared Rothe others. If weshall lose the six votes ofthat State, which I will not concede, we ‘will get six votes in Michigan, which will offset them » #*of Tilinols and Iowa I am hopeful, but I ‘gm not putting those States in the tables. ‘If there isa big Democratic majority in New York and Indiana I believe we will carry both Jowa and Illinois by small majorities. Ifthe p turn out to be such that the Dem- majorities in New York and Indiana mall, then Illincis and lowa may ‘in \tural order of things give small Re- ican majorities. .We do pot expect to ago eon een vant _ HOW IT LOOKS, 4 ; 3 - ~~ rit é we gtk: .: tag tog Ses #529 : Washi tes re .. rat : ; a ie : F * 1886 ana | dollars had been staked on. | r | indiana.

ILLINOIS. Altgeldand Fifer Neck and Neck—National Ticket. CHicaco, Ill., Nov. 6.—The week closes upon the hottest fought campaign in many years in this State. The last roorback of the Repnblicans has been exploded, the attempt to create the impression among Paimer’s friends throughout the State that Altgeld had tried to beat him forthe Senate. If Altgeld secures: the German-American vote, which the party managers expect, his election by a large majcrity is claimed by the most con- servative members of the campaign com- mittee. Once more the Democratic State Campaign Committee gives the assurance that ‘‘Altgeld and Fifer will come to Cook County neck and neck.’’ This prophecy bas been made in every cam- paign by the State Committee, but so far it as not been -fulfillied. If the Republican majority is wiped out in the country, then Fifer will be extremely sorry next Tuesday night that he did not let the nomination go to Judge Collins or some other political enemy. for Joho P.

The Governor Confides in His Friends That if the Citizens of St. Louis De- clare Their Desire at the Polls to Have Him Undertake the Reform of the Four Courts He Will Not Refuse to Step Into the Breach. If Charles P. Johnson, whose nameis on the People’s ticket as a candidate for Circuit Attorney, is elected he will serve. The statement is made by the authority of severalof his most intimate friends, with whom he has talked onthe subject. ‘Mr. Johnson,’’ said one of those gentleman, ‘‘is of the ballot, and so many of us have argued with him in the last few days that he has given us his assurance that he would take the place if it came to him unsolicited from the votes of the people of St. Louls. He Is not willing to make an announcement that he is acandidate, forhe is not nor does he want to make a canvass. But if he is elected. he will take the office and oppose the Four Courts rascality tillit disappears.’’ Gov. Johnson was visited by a reporter at his office yesterday. ‘‘I hope you will allow me to maintain silence,’’ said he. CAN BE ELECTED. The assurance that Gov. Johanson will not refuse the call of the people will be welcome news to the thousands of Democratie and Re- pabdlican voters wifo saw no hope of a reform atthe Four Courts in the event of elther Zachritz or Clark’s election. It is generally admitted that Gov. Johnson itis the leading criminal lawyer of St. Louis, and his prac- tice is so lucrative that he will be making a great personal sacrifice jn ac- cepting the office of Oircuit Attorney. But the fact that he is willing to make this sacri- fice, if called upon, is the best possible assurance that if elected he will devote all his talent and energy to bring about the re- forms which all honest citizens have been anxious to see effected. He could have no other purpose in accept- ing a trust which would impose much work and grave responsibility upon him when he might continue to enjoy his far more re- munerative and less burdensome practice. DR. MATTHEWS’ INDORSEMENT. Atal« from aman s0 respected by the whole community as Rev. Johan Matthews, D.

The /frohibitionists filed nominations with the Secretary of State for electors and a_ 8State ticket but there was a flaw in their certificates and the Supreme Court has held that their names cannot appear on the official ballot. This has made the Prohibitionists mad, and as the Secretary of State is a Republican, they have issued a manifesto for all the Prohibi- tionists to vote for Weaver electors and the Independent State ticket. The Prohibition vote, however, issmall. All of these things will conspire tom Ke Republican success doubtful. Chairman Green of the Republi- can State Central Committee, Senator Petti- grew and -other Repubiican leaders are claiming victory by from 10,000 to 15,000 plurality. They are not wholly sincere in this. It is learned that Chairman Greene only claims that the poll showed 1,500 ma- sory over the Independents and Democrats. ‘he Democrats claim the election of Weaver eléctors by a small plurality. The Independ- ents figure their piurality on the State ticket at over ten thousand and claim the election of the Weaver electors by a larger vote. They hope, too, to elect one Congressman. —_—- - |S -—— KANSAS. A MNon-Partisan View of the Situation Hard to Obtain. TOPEKA, Kan., Nov. 5.—All is doubt and un- certainty on the eve of the great contest on Tuesday. Kansas, the State of phenomenal majorities in the past for the G. O. P., isnow high upin the doubtful list. Of course each of the parties is quick to claim victory and predict the defeat of the other. Buta non- partisan view is what the readers of the PosT-DISPATCH want. And this is hard to obtain in a State where every voter is a parti- gan, as is the case in Kansas to-day. Al- though the Republican State Central Com- mittee is confident of the success of the electoral ticket, the conservative leaders ad- mit thatitisin doubt, and the chances cer- tainly seem to favor Weaver. The trading on election day will largely determine the. fate of the State and national tickets. The confidence of the fusion committees in the success of their entire tickets is shown in their constant advices totrade nothing. The Democratic committees, which would natur- ally be more interested in the electoral ticket and Congressmen than the State ticket, has urged Memocrats all over the Btate to refuse all offers to trade Weaver for Smith votes. The confidence of the Repub- lirans is shown in their eagerness to secure bets on the result and upon the advice of the State Central Committee they are willing to take ali the even money offered. The election day tactics this year will pre- sent many novel features. A letter from Chairman Breidenthal to his committee chairmen was made public to-day, in which Breidenthal advises that every People’s par- ty voter be visited upon the day preceding election as wellas every Democrat support- ing the People’s party movement and be urged to at the polls at 8 a. m. Tuesday. That means be supplied to send after all voters who have not cast their vote by noon,and that‘‘a large number of our men remain atthe polis during the entire day for the rpose of showing any voter who may be tn doubt as to whether the party is dying out or not, that we are stillan active corpse, and forthe further purpose of preventing any fraudulent yoting.’’ It is safe to Qredict that not a single Repub- lican voter Wiil get away. Espectully in the Seventh District wil)a desperate attempt be made to vote everything in sight. Chairman Simpson of the Republican State Committee claims Kansas will go Republican : Chairman Jones of the Fusion- Democratic Committee and Chairman Briedenthal of the People’s Party State Cen- tral Vommittee claim the State to-night for the fusion ticket by a majority of 85,000. Chairman Harris of the Stalwart Democratic State Committe says the Kepubiicans will win by asafe majority. Thereis undoubted evidence that the fusionists in the past three weeks have not been abletokeep all their men in line, but it is safe to say that at least 5,000 ex-Republicans in the People’s party have gone back to the oid party. The Republicans ciaim that the number will go fully 20,000, while both sides claim good majorities. The result is uncertain. Bettin is in favor of the Republicans, and sever large amounts were offered on the Repub- lican ticket to-day but were not taken. It is probable the Republicans will get five out of eight Con ssmen. Only three districts has cou ‘apidiy losiag ground tothe lat has been ra y losin two weeks and it is probable he will be defeated by a small majority. IN THE LEAVENWORTH DISTRICT. LEavVenwOatTs, Kan., Nov. 5.—The Con- gressional muddle in this district is settled. It is believed Broderick, Republican, will be re-elected. The resignation of Carroll, Democratic candidate, has embittered the Democrats against Close, the Peopie’s party can te, who is biamed for UCarroll’s — The Congressional Committee will not put Close’s mame on the ticket in place of Carroll, in this county at least. Ex-Mayor 8. W. Neely, Democratic candidate for State Senator, resigned to-day, because of local strife, and Ihomas Fenion, a delegate to the National Convention, was put on in his iace. The fusion electors in the district are ed to be safe. . JBRRY SIMPSON’S CHANCES. WicuiTa, Kan., Nov. 56.—The hottest cam- paign ever fought in the Seventh Con- so that he will be certain of winning his money must be possessed of some occult power not possessed by the average politi- clan, Congressman Jerry Simpson’s friends are as certain of victory as they were the day his renomination by the e0- le’s part was indorsed by he mocratic Oongressionai Convention. They are not more confident, however, than are Chester I. Long’s supporters,and certain ft is that Gorring (Rep.) has made considerable inroads into his opponent’s vote during the last two months, but whether sufficient to carry the day will not be known till Wed nes- qay next. The chances are that the race will he a very close one. Simpsons foliowers claima majority allthe way from 6,000 to 18,000 whiletLong’s friends are more conservative and present a poll of the district giving the Republican candidate about 2,600 votes.

NEBXASKA. Harrison Will Have a Hot Time in Win- ning the State. OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 5.—A. E. Cody, Chatr- man of the Republican State Committee, makes the following statement as to the outlook in Nebraska over hisown name for the SUNDAY Post- DISPATCH: ‘*Beyond any question the Harrison electoral ticket will carry the State by at least 15,000 plurality. Some Democrats wilil vote for Weaver, but there is a large element in the independent party which will see in this move simply an effort to aid in the elec- tion of Cleveland. At the same time are Democrats who will ré@cognize that there is danger in helping the Weaver electors. Weaver’s treatment in the South was such that as between Harrison and Cleveland the WV eaverites would prefer to see Harrison win. Judge Crounse will be elected Governor by 25,000 plurality. The rest of the Republican State ticket will win by about the same plurality. The - publicans will elect Congressmen in the first, second, third and fourth districts, In the fifth and sixth the Independents Will elect their candidates. In the Legislature the Re- publicans will heave on joint ballot a small majority, but sufficient to elect a Republican United States Senator. There are ample in- dications of a landslide in our direction in Nebraska this year. The outlook is better now than! dared hope for. I prefer not to express an opinion asto which ticket will win in the race. A. E. Copr, Ohairman Republican State Committee, George W. Blake, Chairman of the Peopie’s Independent State Committee, makes the following statement: ‘*No sane man could think that Nebraska will this year give t Republicans overwhelming aw J have playing a oO bluff all along, claiming ¢@verything, but have Ciaimed too much. The Republicans are losing ground steadily, and, as they lose, the Independents gain. It is beyon a question that Van be elected Governor ery | over Crounse. elected by 10,000 plurality and the rest of the State tictet will Be elected by from 6,000 to 8,000 plurality. Thecontest is squarely be- tween the Independents and Republicans, We will elect four Congressmen, McKeighan, Kerr, Deck and Poynter.

There is room on the mourners’ bench for all, and many Re- publicans will vote our entire ticket. **GreO. W. BLAKE, ae People’s Independent OCommit- es.’ Euclid Martin, Chairman of the Democratic State Committee, thus views the situation: ‘**The Democrats are gaining every day in the State ticket, and Morton ie Governor) is Making the greatest campaign ever made by any candidate in this State. We feel certain of the election of Governor Lieutenant-Governor, Attorney-General and Treasurer. We hope to elect the rest of the State ticket bya safe plurality. We find un- usual interest being taken in the Democratic ticket in the Western portion of the State, where heretofvure the Democratic party has been weakest. The Demo- crats will certainly elect Bryan, Doan and Keiper to Congress and the chances for Vifquain are excellent. We are more than satished at the present situation in Nebraska.

Democrats and Populistse Think Weaver Will Win the State. DENVER, Colo., Nov, 6.—Your correspondent secured brief statements from the State chairmen of the two leading parties regard- ing their opinion of mext Tuesday's contest in Colorado, which has been the most bitter é. one in the histo of thie wins ( . § Pease 3 @ handsome one. 100,000 under ordinary conaitions, it would be divided about as follows: Republicans, 56 000; Democrats, 40,000; Populists, 7,000. **The gain to the Weaver column from Republican votes will be from 8,000 to 10,000 votes. Achange of 8,000 votes, according to my calculation, will give the State to Weaver by 2,000 plurality, and achange of 10,000 Re- ubdlican votes would give Weaver the State y 6.000. It must be conceded that the Re- publicans have made an aggressive cam- paign and have been getting their forces to- gotmes better during the past few weeks. ati donot think that they have overcome the practical abandonment oftheir party in certain mountain counties and among the labor voters.’’ ‘ Here isa review of the events which made the complication in the State. A serious split in the Democratic party, dating from the time of the Chica Convention, ve Repubiicans the hope of carrying the State by an increased plurality. The break In the ranks was caused by Mr. Oleveland’s well- known hostility to the free coinage of silver. Silver mining is the leading industry in Colo- rado, and thousands of miners .were pledged to abandon the party if Mr. Cleveland was nominated for President. Six of the eight members of the Colorado delegation before leaving Chicago announced their decermination of jolninga third-party movement in the interests of silver The delegation was headed by T. M. Patterson, editor of the Rocky Mountain News of Denver, then principal organ of the Democratic par- ty in Colorado, and he at once changed the politics of his paper and opposed Cleveland on the ground of hisopen hos- tility to silver. When a freesilver plank was inserted inthe Omaha platform, Air. Patterson and his followers decided to sup- port Weaver, andsince that time they have wageta lively and winning battle. They gained control of the State Democratic Con- vention ana indorsed the electors and State ticket named by the State Convention of the People’s party. The straight Democrats then nominated Cleveland electors and a complete State ticket. The leaders of both factions ap- aled to the National Democratic Committee for recognition, and after much delay, on Oct. 25 the decision of the national leaders was conveyedto the Colorado Democracy, The suggestion was that, on grounds of ex- diency, it would be betterto support the eaver eletrors. The decision was ac- geercee in, the resignations of the Cleve- and electors were accepted, and the fusion~- ists have since been working In harmo y. Harrison in 1888 cared Colorado by a plu- rality of 18,207. The People’s party vote that year was 1,266. In J891, In the State election for Chief Justice, the Repubdfican see Oi 4 was cut downto 10,056 and the eople’s party vote increased to 6,384. This year the People’s party movement in Oolo- rado amounts to an uprising. MINNESOTA. Opinions ofthe Chairmen of the Repub- lican and People’s Parties. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Nov. 5.—Asked to- night for his views of the political situation ia the State by a representative of the Posrt- DIsPaTcH, the Chairman of the Republican State Uommittee dictated the following to be telegraphed to this paper over his signature: Minnesota will elect the entire Republican State ticket. Nelson, for Governor, will have 25,000 over Lawlor (Dem.). Donnelly will poll about 35,000, or 20,000 less than Owen did two years ago. Five of the Harrison electors willbe chosen by 30,000 and four by 10,000, the latter over the fusion four on the Populist and Democratic tickets; there will be 280,000 votes polled In this State. The Prohibition vote will be 15,000, a little less than fuuryears ago. The Legisiature will be recovered and will stand twelve to fifteen Republican on joint baliot, insuring the re- election of Vavis for United states Senator. Five Republican Congressmen wiil be elected with two doubtful. The claims of the Peo- ple’s party are simply preyosterous. ROBERT JAMISON, Chairman Republican State Committee. The Secretary of the State Committee of the People’s party thus stated his views: ‘‘We wiil certainly elect four of our electors, those who have been indorsed by the Demoorats. We caiculate to elect our nine People’s elec- tors if, as we believe, we succeed in carryin our State ticket. We concede a majority o 4,500 for Nelson, Republican candidate for Governor, in the southeastern art of the State, but all other parts of the tate outside of St. Paul and Minneapélis are almost solidly for our ticken, State and elec- toral, which willa large enough vote to elect it. The People’s party will also secure a majority of the Legislature. R. ECKFORD, Secretary People’s party State Lommittee, There is great danger that allthe voters of Minneapolis will not be able to vote at the coming election, owing to the enormous reg- istration. The registration is ail new and wasasurprise all round. The total is 46,580 voters, and in some precints the number runs over seven hundred. This, with the complex system of voting, leads to the belief that many of the voters will be shut out. The political situation in this state isindoubt, Noonecanteli how new voters willturn. Anexampeof the enormous in- crease in registration in Minneapolis, which will make the resultin the State douitful, is the fact that the various wards show in- creases over the votre of two years ago of from 22to 207 per cent, the latter in the Twefth Ward. ‘ihistremendous increase is said to be ey pen, all the politicians, and the Democrats say it means thatthe Repub- licans are no longer sure of the State. The PosT-DISPATCH staff correspondent’s poll of the State by correspondents at county seats shows that the fusion ticket on electors will win by 16,000 majority. WYOMING, Both Parties Claim the ftate—Republi- cans Buying Votes. CHEYENNE, Wyo., Nov. 5.—Both parties are claiming Wyoming to-night. The campaign has been an aggressive one On the part of the Democrats anda defensive one on the part of the Republicans, Senators Warren and Carr and Congressman Olark have been trying vainly to make the people of the State belleve they were free from responsibility for the invasion by the big stockmen against thé citizens of Johnson Oounty in April last, and the subsequent unjust proclamation of President Harrison ordering the peopie of Wyoming to observe the law, when the only law breakers were the stockmen and Deputy United States Marshals.

CAMPAU, : airman Democratic State Committece. The Republican prospects in Michigan are ae follows by the Chairman of the Republican State Committee: My judgment is that the Republicans of ichigan will elect eight Presidential elec- sure, with possibility of one or two more; at they = wiil carry the State ticket inthe neighborhood of 14,000 majority, will elect a majority of the Congressmen and will have a majority of the Legisiature, thus insuring the election ofa Republican United States Senator. (Signed) JAMES MCMILLAN, Chairman Republican Committee. No confident predictions as to results in the State ticket in Michigan are made by un- prejudiced observers. Both sides claim everything. Both sides are talking to Keep their courage up. Senator McMillan declares that the entire Republican ticket will be elected by about 14,000 majority. This fs regarded as absurd. The Demo- crats and Populists have fused on Attorney-General and Supreme Court Judge. If the Republicans pull through their candi- dates for those positions it will be an exceed- ingiy close vote. While the Democrats about headquarters will give nothing for pub- lication except the most sweeping general claims it is well known that they confidently count on phy | the Attorney- e General and Supreme Court Judge by a large majority like 20,000. They ex t to elect their Governor bya large majority because of his popularity. The Democratic candidate for State Treasurer may be elected by a ma- jority. The Republican State ticket is struc- turally weak in having no candidates from acity. It has been the tamest State cam- ign ever known, the city people hardly SRowtns who their candidates are. The work has been Gonein the rural districts al- most entirely. What the calm 0»por- tends cannot be guessed. There no evidence of a revolt against the Republican State ticket and Judge Morse’s popularity does not seem to be so at as wasexpected. A Republican State icket must be a good one and the campaign strong to insure a Republican triumph in ecnigen. It believed by the Democrats that the margin will be small and that ge Morse, their can- didate, will run 8.0000r 4,000 ahead of his ticket and getoverthe linea winner. Asthe Democrats and Populists have fused in forty- a Of the 182 members of the Legislature, it looks extremely likely that an anti- Republican on joint bal- lot will and that someone acceptable to both Democrats and Populists will be chosen to succeed Stock- bridge in the United States Senate. The Democrats cannot fail to carry less than seven of the fourteen presidential electors unless a great Republican tidal wave appears. There is a chance of win- ning nine away from the Republicans although one would be a Weaver elector. Senator McMillan claims eight and possibly ten electors for the Republicans, but that can hardly be. Some of the strong Demo- cratic Congressional! districts are in doubt so far as Congressmen are concerned, owing to local disaffection, but that does not extend to the election of President. It would seem that the Republicans are reasonably sure of electing six and the Democrats four Con- gressmen, with two in doubt. In all the estimates made in the Eastern States, both by Democratic and Rebublican papers, Mich- igan is set down as ten in the Harrison and é4in the Cleveland column. That makes — s certain asanything can be that? of Michi- n‘s ié4electoral votes will be cast for the mocratic candidate. Uniess a Republican tidal wave strikes the State the number will probably reach 9. The Republicans may Make a gain in the Michigan delegation in Congress, in spite of the fact that the districts have been re- shaped by a Democratic Legislature. In the First District, comprising most of the wards of Detroit, there is a normal Demo- cratic. majority of 8,000, but Oongress- man J. wg Chipman, the Democratic candidate r the fourth time, has made enemies. The Republicans have nominated a popular millionaire beneficiary of McKin- leyism. Money flows like water. All of the election machinery of Detroit is in Republi- can hands, and most unscrupulous use is made of it. Loud are Republican boasts that th will elect a Congressman in this stronghold of Michigan Democracy. The Seventh is the only District which the Republicans will concede tothe Democrats. But even though théy carry Detroit inthe Congressional election, there fis mo chanee of their winning the one electoral vote from the “First istrict. The eastern district at we is conceded tothe Democrats and the Western tothe Republicans. The Seventh, Eighth and Tenth Districts surely Democratic for presidential and so are the Third and Fifth, al- two of them may elect the Re- bifcan candidates for Congress, because of are more alarmed district than the Demo- are concerned about 3) Republican defection Peninsula is not due to local crats : ec piications, but toa deep-seated feeling gmong the miners that bis fair to make that over ey pases of the state permanently Demo- AS LEADERS SEE IT. ‘ Olark Howell of Georgia Shows . iy _.

Immediately after his nomination, I doubted, yet hoped, but to-day Iapproach theclose of the campaign with the utmost confidence in Democratic success and with the belief that Cleveland’s majority will be phenomenally large. I may be right or I may be wrong. If the former it is because I have viewed with most intense satisfaction the constant drift toward Demo- cratic success ever since the Chicago conven- tion and have seen enough to satisfy me at least that there has been a suffi- cient change in the. public mind since 1888 to restorethe Government to the old- time keeping ofits fathers, where every in- dividual was a monarch anda millionaire had no more Federal rights than a day lab- orer.

CHARLESTON, 8. C., Nov. 5.—Senator Butler said to-day: ‘‘In my opinion Cleveland will be elected. I wasin Washington last week and, as a member of the National Campaign Oommittee, can say that all the information points unmistakably to the success of the Democratic ticket. I have no doubt in the world of the fidelity of Tammany Halli nor of the loyaity of Gov. Hill to the National Democratic ticket. One of the most significant signs of the times is the fact that the gamblers are all willing to wager their money on the success of the Democratic ticket, They are pretty good weathercocks and gen- erally lay their wagers after careful investi- gation.

Speaking of the situation in this State Senator Butler said: **The State Executive Committee appears to be very serene.

New YoOrK, Nov. 5.—The youngest member of the National Democratic Committee is H. O. Wallace ofthe new State of Washington. He isason-in-law of Ohief Justice Fuller, Mr. Wallace is enthusiastic over the far West,and in conversation with the Post-Di1s- PATCH correspondent had this to say to-day: **Fusion in the West does not mean that the Democrats have abandoned their party, orthat they are enamored of any of the chimerical schemes of the People’s party. Fusion simply means that there is an arro- obnoxious and dangerous enemy must be unhorsed, an that purpose the Democrats have taken a brief leave of absence from their party organization, When this has been accomplished they will return witb renewed vigor to their own party lines, ready to confront their old enemy, now emasculated by recent disaster and defeat. What the Democrats are doing in the far West the Republicans are doing in the South. Iopine the difference will this: Fusion will succeed in the West and fail in the South. ‘*I think the returns next Tuesday will show that a political revolution has occurred. This will be more marked because the returns, from a geographical point, will be unlike those of ny previous election. It is my prediction that the candidacy of Weaver will cut an im- portant figure in the result, It wiil be found thatthe States previously regarded as the ivotal ones, upon which the elections have or so many years depended, will not elect or defeat either candidate. The States which have heretofore been regarded as Republican strongholds wil] be turned upside down. My estimate is that Weaver will get at least fifteen electoral votes, with the probability of double this number, and the conditions are such that it would cause me bo surprise if Lhe should receive forty votes. ‘*‘l am aware that here in New York, where it is popularly believed that there is nothin known of the Far West and less cared abou it, my estimates are called rainbow chasing. In tact, it has been intimated that I was en- deavoring to throw salt on the tail of the fad- ing rainbow. It is too late to give reasons or go into detalls, but I haye the temerity to claim that the electoral votes of Nevada, Col- orado, Wyoming, Nebraska and South Da- kota, and four votes of Minnesota will, in all probability, be cast for Weaver. This is a total of twenty-six votes. ‘‘It is not at ali improbable that Idaho with her 8 electoral votes; Kansas with 10; North Dakota with 8 and Oregon with 4, will be cast for Weaver. This would make a total of 46 votes. It will be seen that if these ex- pectations were realized Mr. Harrison could not win if he carried New York and New Jer- sey, or if he should carry Indiana, New Jer- sey, Connacticut and West Virginiathe elec- tion would still go to the House. *‘Looking at the situation in the conservative way, namely, that get 15 electoral _ votes, be observ that it offsets West wreas and Connecticut; or Indiana could be lost and counterbalanced by the Weaver electoral votes; or New Jerse and Connecticut could be lost and, upon this theory, the election would still go to the House. In other words, the ag gee of York insures the election of Mr. Cleveland, and with the loss of New York there is still an excellent chance of his election. tion upon our leaders of the confidently look forward to t 3 next Tuesday to vindicate my forecast and to exonerate me from the charge of being a western rainbow chaser.’’ A Wealthy Mexican Visitors.

Keim—He Says War Ise Inevitable—Sooclalist Oon- gress—News of the German Capital. BERLIN, Nov. 5.—Prince Bismarck’s attacks upon the military bill of his successor, Count Von Caprivi, have not secured the expected applause from the gallery to which the aged statesman is playing. His technical criti- cisms as to the officering and drilling of the army are acknowledged to concern one of the few matters on which he is absolutely disqualified to give a competent opinion, and his friends are wondering how he could have been s0 fatuous as to expose his weakest side to such a military authority as the present Chancellor. Count Von Caprivi will not let the oppor- tunity to smite his predecessor and political enemy pass unimproved. He has already given his orders for a reply to Bismarck’s at- tack. On Monday or Tuesday the Nord Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung will contain the most stinging rebuke that the ex-Chancellor has yet received. Journalists at Varzin have endeavored in vain recently to learn Bismarck’s intention as to entering the Reichstag this winter. Two or three months ago he was ready enough with remarks indicating that he would be on Government, but now he is silent as to his plans, There is little doubt that this change is due to his fear of being worsted in a conflict with Oaprivion the military bill. Caprivi isan easierand quicker debater than Bismarck and his knowledge of military affairs would givehim immense advantage on the floor. Bismarck’s friends have dwelt upon these points while trying to persuade him to stay at home this winter and apparently they have done so with effect. Should he, never- theless, decide to break lances with Caprivi, he will, it is believed, suffer the most in- glorious defeat of his life. Berlin istohavean ‘‘L’’ road. The City Council has agreed to itandthe Emperor is to sanction it. Siemens & Halske’s perfected plan Is precisely on the New York style. Each car will have two electric motors at each end, thus equally distributing the power over the whole car. Prospero Moseraria, who has just died at Milian at the age of 79, has left his entire fortune, nearly $6,000,000, to the city, with in structions to establish labor schools and lodgings for homeless and unoccupied labor- ers. He was unmarried and asimple funeral atspecial request closed an unostentatious life. : The German Emperoris tremendously in- dustriousin enjoying himself. But yester- day at Wittenberg, on the 7th he inspects the ship-yards at Stettin, for the 10th he has invited alarge number of princesto a boar hunt on his estates at Konigswustenhausen. The young Crown Prince isto begin hunting on this occasion. Onthe 15ththe Emperor will attend the swearing in of the recruits at Kiel, and for the endof the month he has accepted an invitationto hunt with Prince Pless and Prince Stolberg WeringeraGce on their estates. While emperors dance the tax-payer pays the piper. According to this year’s statistics France’s total indebtedness is 31 milliards of francs, Russia’s over 18 milliards of francs, En- gland’s a trifle under the last figure, Italy’s over ll, Austria-Hungary’s over 9, and the German Confederation nearly 9 milliards of francs. United States Consul Ryder, recently con- victed of fraud and sentenced at Copenhagen toa yearanda half in prison, has been par- doned through the intercession of the Wash- ington authorities, his immediately leaving Denmark the one condition of the pardon. During the coming week several important meetings of party leaders will be held in Ber- lin, preliminary to the opening of the Reichstag. The general drift of political development points to the Government se- curing a majority for the army bill through a coalition of Conservatives, Centrists and members ofthe Reichspartel. Prince Bismarck’s denunciations of the bill as being entirely needless have failed to in- fluence even the National Liberals, whose organs deprecate popular agitation against the Government proposals, and urge a cautious line of opposition. A meet- Ing of the National Liberals at Wurtem- berg took the strongest line of attack against the bill indeciaring that Germany was un- able to bear the increased taxation pro- posed. It was shown that a vast majority of the incomes of Prussian families were under 900 marks yearly. With regardto the tobacco tax, it was shown that there had been a decline in the receipts of the lasf half year as compared withthe preceding half year. ‘ihe proceeds from the salt tax had declined 260,000 marks and from the sugar tax 1,740,- 000 marks. The decline in the _ receipts from these artices of com- mon consumption is taken as proof that the people are already overbur- dened by taxation. The Polish group in the Reichstag, which has hitherto been stanch supporters of the military project of the Government, have weakened on the same grounds, The official organ, the Oziennik Pozenanski, says that the exhaustion of agriculturein Prussian Poland is so com- plete that the people will be unable to bear further imports, and that the Polish party will be obliged to refuse to support the army bill, not through ill-will to the Government, but solely because increased taxation will be intolerable. The group, which numbers sixteen, will probably abstain from voting on the measure. Deduct- ing the Polish vote, the Ministerialists are still confident that they can carry the meas- ure bya vote of about one hundred and eighty-four toone hundredand sixty-four, About a score of votes are uncertain. The latest interviews with Prince Bismarck continue to excite interest, rather as out- bursts of personal venom than political manifestoes. He hits all around, striking his dead as well as _ =Mliving adversaries. Referring to Prince Gortschakoff, whom be described as a personal malicious enemy,’ Prince Bismarck says he was allowed a lump sum of money from the Russian Treasury for official telegrams, Instead of diverting the money for this pur- pose he put itin his own pocket, and used the German AmbDassador and other officiais as his telegraphic media witn the Czar. The Ozar, he added, told him that vanity had made Prince Gortschakoff. silly. Prince Bis- marck says that another old colleague of his, Count Von Radowitz, proved that he could not be trusted, because he drank. After his third glass of wine he gave his tongue rein, and biabbed all he knew. OUT OF LINE] hand to lead in person the attuck on the | health, ; — agnificent Bargains.

KENNARD & SONS, BROADWAY AND ST. CHARLES. wrong vermin-killer. Some of the Prince’s | statements are denounced as fiction. The Vossische Zeitung calls them important mistakes, Herr Richter’s J’riessennige Zeitung says his remarks are devoid of historic truth. Thus his assertion that the late Emperor William wanted to annex a part of Saxony in 1866 and the story that Von Moltke urged an invasion in 1875, are both questioned. Among the episodes that Prince Bismarck tells now is one about a Bonapartist agent, who in 1871 came to him during the negotila- tiations for peace and cffered to go to Bor- deaux with halfadozen resolute men and assassinate Gambetta and other members of the provisional Government. Then the Emperor was to be recalled to France, the Germans holding the country until the Em- pire was re-established, Prince Bismarck believed that the project’ was, posyible, but refused to agree to it, thinking that monar- chical France would be more dangerous to peace than a republic. Again alluding to his aversion to reappear- ingif the Reichstag, the Prince says that many of the members would treat him as though he was pest stricken, add- ing that a Hamburg cholera patient would be better received thanhe. The newspapers concur in their expressions of regret at the undignified character of his utterances. Even the news- papers friendly to him agfee that his lan- guage is unworthy of his past career. A pamphlet by the military writer, Maj. Keim, andanarticle in the Militar Wochen- blat, inspired by the War Office, respond to the attacks that have been made upon the army Dill. The Militar Wochenblatt frankly states that in the event of war the Russian army is so superior to the Austrian that Germany would be obliged to help Austria on the eastern frontier. She would be feebly assisted by Italy, wbo would be unable to invade France and who would have great difficulty in defending her own coasts from the French fleet. Maj. Keim contends that war is inevita- ble.’ Increased taxation strengthening the army will, he declares, save the Fatherland many millions of debt contracted by an un- fortunate war. Both the pamphict and the article admits the immense advance in the military power of France, and minimize the value of the alliance with France and Italy. The Vorwaerts (Socialist) publishes reports from leading committees in Germany suggesting the subject to be discussed at the congress of the Socialist party. Among motions to be made is one to the effect that the Socialist mem- bers of the Reichstag should _ resign every two years and take the opinion of their constituents on re-election... This promises trouble for the Central Executive of the party, as it hasthe support of numer- ous circles. The Oongress will egain discuss the question whether religion isa private matter or whether it Ought to be branded as an enemy, Herr Grillenberger declines to accept the mandate ho has received to attend the Congress as a delegate, on -the gronnd that he is too busily occupied with his electoral campaign. The Empress, in thanking the Berlin municipal authorities for their con- gratulations on the anniversary of her birth- day expressed confidence that proper measures would be taken to relleve the dis- tress of the poor. Report attributes the failure ofa large firm of costumers here to embarassments that have arisen toas a large bill that the Empress had long left unpaid. Her expenditures for dress and jewelry are immense, she seldom wearing the same dress twice. With the approach of winter the dls- tress among the poor becomes more clamorous. A mob which collected in one of the poor quarters threatened to pillage the shops. They threw a police agent into a canal, whereupon a body of mounted police charged them and cleared the streets. Boat- men saved the agent. A large number of arrests were made. Thelistof German ex- hibitors at the Chicago Columbian exhibition has been completed. Itembraces twenty-five groups.

From the Gentleman’s Magazine. Life, indeed, consists ina series of changes of tissue, and the human economy Is simply, asfaras its material part is concerned, a machine, and primarily depends on foodas the most important factor in keeping it in working order. When it is said that we com- mence to die as soon as we are born, it of eourse means that certain parts of the body immediately begin to . per- ish; their existence is ephemeral, they come and go, are replenished and de- cay. They arethe dying parts of that sys- temof life, which may last a little while, but which must eventually yield to the inex- orable Jaw of nature. The nails, the hair, etc., are observable asan instance ofthis decay. The same ruleappiies to every other organ and tissue of the body, though it Is not palpable to the naked eye. The skin isal- ways peeling. The food that is takenin the one hour nourishes the system and ejects that which was taken the hour before. Perfect health and condition, at whatever time of life we may apply the term, from infancy to old age, depend upon the proper assimilation of the food taken, and its natural élimination when itis done with by the different organs that have to deal with it. Ofcourse, heredity and a tew other cir- cumstances must also be taken into con- sideration in estimating the chances of life. If the exact amount of food necessary to nourish each tissue of the body were taken daily, having regard to work and other circumstances, and if the economy were kept properly employed, it would mean thatthe individual would bein the most perfect health and condition, and oughttuliveto the age of all yearsor more. But how seldom does this occur. From some cause or other more is taken than is necessary to supply constitutional require- ments,and the result is that the surplus remains stored, and insome way or other acts prejudicially. Ifit does not cause abso- lute illness it impedes vigor and elasticity, and leads toa feeling of malaise and disin- clination for work, making one’s ordipary occu pation a burden. We are tempted toeat when we are not hungry and drink when we are not thirsty, and if we do we must pay the penalty. More than this, inthis life, at all events, the sins ofthe fathers are visited onthe children, and the ola port drank by the grandfathers yields a crop of gout in the grandson. Stimu- lant taken.to excess in the father transmits the curse to the progeny, and they start in the struggle of life handicapped. from the first hour, and, like a race horse with no stamina, fall early in the race. CUBAN WOMEN LACK FREEDOM. Etiquette Forbids That They Appear on the Streets Unless Well Attended. Every writer who visits Cuba is expected to write of the wonderful Cuban woman, and I may as well discharge this duty first as last, saysawriterinthe I’hiladelphia Fress. The average traveler hardly sees enough of her to enabie him to speak with authority. The Cuban women of the better class do not go much abroad and the stranger almost never has the opport unity of seeing them at ho There is no single fact that has struck me more forcibly than the scarcity of women inthe streets of Havana. I mean by this women of the Detter and more cultivated classes. There are various reasons for this. It is against Cuban etiquette to appear upon the streets unless: well attended. There are, moreover, absolutely no inviting prome- nades, as the streets and sidewalks are nar- row and notclean. Shopping can be done with any comfort only by carriage, and this is driven so close tothe curbing that women step directly from it to the store door. Often they do not leave the carriage at all, but have the goods brought to them for inspec- tion, andasthe carriages are closely hooded they do not afford 9 aang jor ave seen on a s Suopplus along Obispo street, the principal mart for things dear to the feminine heart. Aside from this, they be seen to some extent upon the Prado in t evening, when the band plays. Three evening s a week a poor band ran itself aboutthbe statue of isa della the cath olic, .and it discourses music from 8 to o’ciock, while the pulace comes out and indulges in a grand walk-around. Sunday night isthe principal time for its perform - ance, and it is customary to say that the beauty, witand chivalry of the Cuban capital are thenonexhibition. This may have A WOOD RAT’S BIG NEST. Sent From Alaska and Needing a Freight Car for lts Conveyance. From the San Francisco Examiner. For a queer and unusual article of freight a rat’s nest can hardly be excelled, especially the nest of a wood rat that was built by those strange little animal architects in far-off Alaska and which was ship ina lar freight car at the loading s sat Fou and Townsend streets yesterday for the Smithsonian Institution at Washi ton. Only one available car “tor the ‘purpose could be found ovby Mr. Anthony, so large and cumbersome was the nest, it being approoximately cone- shaped, 7 feet in height and with an 1 - lar, broad base, 10 feet wide at one endand | about 6 feet at the other. With its crate of light framework it weighed 980 pounds, and a big New York Central furniture car with wide doors and a high roof solved the problem that Mr. Anthony had been vexed with fora . couple of days as to how he was going to send © t Kast. Of course, neither the wood rat nor his nést is a very uncommon sight, but the one in question is, however, on account of its height and size, and, like many other nests of these rats, is a most interesting sight to many who have never seen one of them, and a study to everybody for the intelligence and design dispiaved in its construction, . The nest at the first giance is apparently a huge pile of small branches, et es and grasses imbedded Inclay and , dry lumpsinchunksofmud. The odor of dry grasses and dull whitish mud or aay Ee: dominates and on close inspection it could be seen that the little Alaskan rodents had evi. dently laid every twig and piece of wood and every bunch of grasses and leaves ‘1 ch a nicety and according to a well-defined plan — that would cause the winds and rains and the storms to beat against it without avail. As is their practice, it had been built up against a number ofsmall trees standing close to- gether ina dense underbrush, and its sides were solid, compact and waterproof. At the narrow end of its base or foundation was asmallopening or door into this tiny castle, where probably a couble of hundred rats were wont to make their home, It was no doubt big enough for that purpose, be- cause the inside of the nest was filled witha large number of pouches og little rooms, each one leading from an open Mg and upon a rude climbingand winding stairway clear up to the apex of the nest. The pouches are all lined with soft grasses and leaves, and some of them had a lot of fur or hair in them, for these litte animals often pull out their own furto make Warm beds for their young. They have been Known to ll their fur from their bodies the mou fit up the pouches as snugly as their young, and this had evident by some ofthe rats that had occupied the nest ~ question, judging by the amount of ur in it.

CLARK, Mr. ¢ Gould’s Heuten- ant in the West, thinks Kansas and Ne- braska will both be carried for Weaver. Mr, Clark is considered a very good judge of political probabilities. ee Do Not be surprised at the total destruc- tion next Tuesday of protectionism, force- billism, McKinleyism, Frickism and Pink- ertonism—that is everything which goes to make up latter-day Republicanism. ONE bundred and eighty Federal Super- visors of Election have been appointed in Texas. This indicates a belief that with plenty of bayonets and a drastio force bill the State might be carried for the plu- tocracy. Mr. HARRISON is so anxious for purity atthe polls that he expects his United States Marshals to knock out the Austra- lian ballot system, the only one by which the voter can be sure to express his honest sentiments. A PROTECTION cartoonist represents British free trade asaliog. It is lionlike in its ability to devour the commerce of the world while the young and vigorous America is bound with the chains of trade taxation. ————... wr As A last desperate effort, the Repub- lican press is again bringing out the list of Ministers and Consuls appointed from the South by Mr. Cleveland. As the Southern people pay avery large part of the ex- penses of the Government, including the pensions for Union soldiers, there could have been no great crime in allowing them ashare of the offices at the disposal of a President whom they had assisted in elect- ing. If the South is nota part of the Union the fact should be made known. ——— _ —— TWO RELIGIO-COMMERCIAL POLITICIANS. The story of the $400,000 corruption fund raised during the last week of the cam- paign of 1888 was told by Mr. Wanamaker himself, who frankly admitted his own part in the transaction. ‘‘My contribu- tion,’ said he, ‘‘was $10,000. I hada large experience in raising money from my con- nection with the Christian associations and other enterprises of that sort.’’ ‘‘Enterprise’’ is good. It is just the word a man would use who carries busi- ness into religion, but is careful to keep religion out of business. But Christians shudder when such an epithet is applied to religious work. Mr. Wanamaker is not the only religio- commercial politician, however. Mr. Charles Foster, Secretary of the Treasury under Elder Harrison, knows something about working the religious racket, as his recent interview proves. He ‘‘doesn’t see much difference between the church and the saloon’’ when it comes to politics. Mr. Foster admits that it ‘*doesn’t sound very well, perhaps, but when you get into politica you find that everyone is doing the same thing, and your conscience is likely to be blunted a little after a time.’’ Very much blunted, we should say. And the practical intelligence is blunted, too, for no man in his senses would thus insult every Christian and every church by lumping religious undertakings with saloons ‘‘and other enterprises’’ of a com- mercial character. Wanamaker and Fos- ter are in evidence for the consideration o Christians next Tuesday. -_ ——— —_ i» _ . THE CARTOONISTS. There is one deserving class of workers who are entitled toaholiday after Tues- day. They are the cartoonists. The presidential campaign has been a good- natured one and these gentlemen have probably contributed more to make it so than any others who have had anything to do with it. ‘the exaggerations of the cartoon are not so likely toexcite partisan wrath as the editorial article or paragraph. There is nearly always an elementoi funin the cartoon, and whenever a laugh can be raised anger disappears. We enjoy a comical illustration, even if it is at the expense of our own party, and when there is something very good at the expense of the enemy we are delighted. There has never before been a political campaign in which the cartoon has been so generally resorted to as in the present contest, and good work has been done on both sides. It is hkely that the cartoon is not now so convincing a presentation as it was .in the early days of Nast. Then there were few able cartoonists in this country and Nast was looked upon as awonder. Now the great Nast is well nigh forgotten, though he still trots out the regal Tam- publican babies. Possibly the perturbed | spirit of Horace Greeley lingers in the work-room of the once powerful caricatur- worker when he would revive the glories of the past. i There is now no lack of those who can make speaking cartoons. Many excellent ones have been wrought by unknown persons in the past five months and we may say in justice to Mr. McKinley that here isan industry which he has really stimulated. Indeed, the apostle of Pro- tection has himself been merciléssly cari- catured. He has been made to carry crushing loads of bogus American tin and his stinking cigar and astonished Teuton have everywhere drawn crowds to the show windows. Mr. Cleveland’s honest rotundity has not escaped, and Grandfather’s Hat has been indelibly graven upon the American memory, No one who has taken any interest in the campaign will soon forget the pictorial part ofit. Here’s luck to the cartoonists! May they all vote the right ticket, what- ever they may have done in their cartoons. — —— e—— _ RELIGION AND POLITICS. The uncounted, invisible and anony- mous members of the mysterious ‘‘A. P. A.,’’ who demand the publication of heir election circular in the Post-D1s- PATCH, are hereby informed that there is no news in it worthy of publication and that the political bosh it contains has been sufficiently discredited by the mis- chief it did in the old Know-Nothing times. It is the same old slander that was withered by Sidney Smith’s burning ridi- cule when Catholic disabilities were re- moved in England a Jong time ago. Since that time both Italy and France have proved that Catholics are nowhere the political slaves of the Pope; that neither church nor Pope can dictate their political action or fillthem with a church fanat- icism strong enough to destroy their pa- triotism. | The ‘‘Loyal Orange Institution,’’ which somewhat confounded the worship of Jesus Christ with the worship of King William III., still holds, we believe, that rever- ence for the oldest of Christian churches and its creed necessarily makes a man worse than a heathen, an enemy of mankind and a traitor tohis country. This we hope and trust is a slander upon human nature and Christianity also. But this Loyal Orange Institution, with its worship of King William, was of for- eign birth and about as un-American a thing as the most intolerant and irrational of sectarian bigots could think of trans- planting to this country and engrafting upon our politics to send out circulars ‘*to loyal Americans’’ denouncing all Catholics as public enemies and marking for proscription at the ballot-box even such candidates as have Catholic kin, as- sociates or friends. We can conceive of nothing thatis or can be more alien to American sentiment, more antagonistic to the great charter of American freedom, more disloyal to our system of government or more unfriendly to the spread of Christianity, than a moye- ment to organize the people for a political attack on a Christian church as a seminary of treason, with the avowed object of pro- scribing all its members as unfit to vote or hold office. — ———$— 6 ——} -—___——- AMONG the wickedest of the campaign inigquities are those that have been carried oninthe Windy City. Large rebates have been made by the Chicago Water Department on condition that the consumer should turn a percentage of his rebate into the Repub- lican campaign fund. Hundreds of thou- sands of dollars have been stolen in this way, and the Superin:endent and Chief Olerk are under arrest. The Republican managers have this year beaten thelr own record for corruption everywhere. How does the American voter like the looks of things? —— WiTH two divorced wives and arrears of alimony amounting to $2,000, Mr. Henry Guy Carleton has a tale of woe which few men outside of Chicago have to relate. There seems to be but one way for him to get his ‘money back on his matrimonial ventures. He can write a fetching play on the domestic life of intellectual husbands. OUR Miss Couzgins may readily be dis- tinguished from Miss Cozens, the London dynamitess, by simply remembering how the two names are spelled. There are some people who have fatled to remember how to spell our Miss Cousins’ name, but it has now become important that they shoulda study it. IF islands are drifting from the American continent to the coasts of Europe it ig time for Uncle Samuel to act. We have rope enough to hold any number of islands until they can be permanently secured. One Chicago newspaper praises another for its ‘*decency and independence’’ in bolting the nomination of an unfit candidate. This sounds odd, but, come to think of it, Wecency is praiseworthy in Chicago. Good-bye the pearly button! Good-bye the false tin plate: Good-bye protected muttoa! All hail November 8!

Protected Millionaires Lop Offa Trifis of Their Enormous Profits to Aid the High Tariff Party—Constant Reduc- tions in Wages in Their Factories— Everything Points to a Great Demo- ™ eratic Victory. - - PHILADELPHIA, PA , Nov. 5.—The exposure ofthe repetition of the great boodle raising scheme of the Manufacturers’ Club is much discussed in litical circles here. In the manufacturing districts of the city Mttle else isheardof. News of this kind spreads slowly here,especially when the local press is averse to taking up a great exposure if it affects the tight old city of Philadelphig. No political articie would infueuce the average working- men more than the ~printed lLst of the contributors of the cofruption fund. This, followed as it was by the Harrah letter, has brought out many extremely interesting facts bearing on the subject. In the Ken- sington district intelligent men identified with the cause of tariff reform denounce the rich boodlers of the clubon Walnut street. As was stated in the exposure, the most successful committee of the Manufac- turers’ Club, appointed to raise money in Philadelphia, has been the one devoted to **seeing’’ the textile manufacturers. They raised dollars galore, and the members hold their heads high among the others ofthe club, and pride themselves on their ‘‘great work.’’ There is another side to the picture. In Philadelphia there are 80,000 textile workers. They differ with the sleek memoers of the - eommittee regarding the merits of the case, ~*~ r mgccessive reductions Pave made three reductions — : a es ad — They remember that while the tide of wealth has flowed into the banks to the credit of the manufacturers, during the pag ten years in wages have oc- curred. Nowhere !n tne United States have the textile workers learned thetruth with keener appreciation than in those same Ken- sington Gistricts of Philadelphia. WHERE IT CAME FROM. In last March there was a strike among the hands employed by W. T. Smith & Son, whose works are on Third street, above Le- high avenue. The places of the strikers were filled by other workmen. The firm makes rugs, curtains, upholstery goods and other textile noveities, upon which the McKinley bill laid an increased duty averaging 35 per cent, The aggregate reductions in wages in this mill during the past two years were as follows: Per cent. 50 ce oo on edaewe cos. of EE eee in wee lain weft weavers _— epotting.....-. Ower spotting..... W.T. Smith &Son appear facturers’ Club list as large contributors to the great corruption fund exposed. Another manufacturing company that gave freely, is Hoyle, Harrison & Keye, on Lehigh avenue and Oriana street. They are extensively engaged in the manufacture of upholstery goods. The chenille cutters employed by them have suffered a reduction of 15 per cent since the passage af the McKinley bill, quite sufficient to meet the club’s contribution and leave something over for pleasure. In God- echalk’s mill in the vicinity of Twenty- third and Wood § streets, where a contribut®!™ was secured by the Textile Committee, there has been @ general reduction of lb percent in wages. In Solomon’s mill on Garnet street, below Somerset, another contribution concern, there have been two reductions since the bill of the doughty Major went into opera- tion. The total amount was 25 percent. The last reduction was as follows: On the manu- facture of silk goods, 15 percent; on woolen goods, 10 per cent, and on woolen and cotton goods, 5 percent. The excuse given by the frm for the last reduction was that their competitors had cut down the wages of their employes and they were forced to do like- wise. THREE REDUCTIONS. John Bromley & Sons, one of the $10,000 contributors tothe boodle fund, are located at Lehigh avenue and Front street. They employ about 1,800 hands and they have the reputation of owning the largest upholstery manufacturing plant in the world. They within four years in wages paid the weavers, winders and spinners. There are about 200 chil. Gren in the mills whose wages average about $1.20 a week. Some of the young women in the mills do not aver- gge more than $2.50 a week. It is quite probable that the $10,000 contribn- tion of the Bromieys, which was deemed **small'’ by the Republican bosses, has been faised to $20,000. In most of the textile @orks Wages are less than formerly. Superintendent of the Census Porter states thatthe average wages paid inthe woolen industry of Pennsylvania '!s $6.63 a week all the year around, or about $1.15 per day. These people are no better off than ten years @go. Many find themselves poorer. On the . contrary the leading texlle manufacturers . %, %, “ft iv a grow richer year by year.

A HANDY MAN, _ Mr. Herwig was honored by the textile workers in 1886 by being sent. by them to Washington to appear beforethe Ways and Means Committee toask for free wool. On another occasion he was elected to represent them when they appealed to the Secretary of the Treasury a few years ago to prevent | Fhomas Dolan, the President of the Manu- facturers’ Olub and the high priest that organfzation, from importing unfinished goods as waste, thus depriving the | Government of its tariff charges and finishing the same in hisown mill. n his report re- cently made to the club Mr. Herwig says that the facts set forth were obtained through personal interviews with workingmen and the superintendents and overseers of the es- tablishments visited by him, He says:, **The materials used in staple woolen goods have deteriorated so greately as to cause considerable of a decrease in wage earnings, Owing to the breaking of warps and filling, causing frequent stoppages and the fines levied upon the employes for imperfect work. Un- Ger the McKinley bill there ts little or no hope for an improvement in the quality of the materials. In novelty goods the changes in wages have been many and con- tinually downward.

The above figures are taken from the best paying millin Philadeiphia and are for weaving on the hand looms. In most other mills not over 12 cents we yard is paid and from that downward. eavers will average about six months’ work in the year and their yearly earnings are about $260. Of course the other help are worse off. In cur- tain weaving the reductionsin the rate of wages have been as follows: 1890, $1.20 per pair; 1891, 98 cents per pair; 1892, from 62 to ‘9 Cents per patr. **In the carpet industry tn Phfiladeiphta the recuctions of wages have mainly been prought about by the changes from the slow power to the latest fast looms, and by the deterlora- tion of raw materiais used, which cduse breaks in warp and filling.

A CASE IN POINT. **T heard of an example of wage earning in a fug mill, that of Jonn O’Nell, who ¢on- tributed ‘to the pool. Moses Stevenson and his son and daughter travel several miles to their work. In the first two weeks of August last the three combined pairs of hands earn?d $i1l, andinthe last two weeks of the same mongh they earn $18,a total of $29 during four weeks.

The mills, which make carpets in which there isa large perce ntage of wool are idiea greater part of the time. This gives rise to the belief éxpressed by a textile worker who looks about him and thinks that some of the so-called carpet wools Imported under a low rate of duty are diverted from their intended use and adapted to other munufacturing purposes. ‘“*It is saldin Kensingtom-that the rate of wages paid inthe Raritan Mills, at Raritan, N.J., owned and operated by Elnstein, the Republican candidate for Mayor of New York, are lower than the average of thosein Philadeiphia.

Nov. 6.—The largest and most enthusiastic campaign meeting held in this city this fall took place to-night at the big Public Hall,; when fully 5,000 people listened to Senator David B. Hill make the closing speech of the campaign. The meeting was under the auspices of the Democratic phalanx that escorted Prest- dent Cleveland to Washington in 1884. Sena- tor Amasa J. Parker presided and introduced Senator Hill, The entrance and introduction of Mr. Hill wasa signal for the wildest en- thusiasm that lasted for several minutes and to which the Senator could only respond by aninclination of the head. Senator Parker introduced Mr. Hill as a voterof Albany city. Among other things that Mr. Hill said were these: ‘*] use the expression fellow citl- zens inadifferent way now than I did one year ago. To-night met a citizen and traveled from the Ninth Ward to speak to my fellow citizens. ‘*The campaign ig drawing to aclose and it isacredit to both parties that it has been conducted by ability and good feeling and honesty, and our public men have avoided ersonalities and devoted themselves to the ssuesofthe day. If we must differ on issues, it should bein this way. ‘‘If 1 was to define the difference between the two parties, I should say that they radi- cally differ as to the true function of the Government in taxation. The difference should not exist. Legislation should be had to conserve for the greatest good to the greatest number. & ‘*] believe in our war cry: ‘Public taxes for public duties only and for public ex- penges.’ Thatisthetheory of our Vonstitu.- tionandin accordance with the policy laid down by all of the lawmakers of our Re- public. Our taxes should be sufficient to simply pay the expenses of our public instl- tutions and charitable institutions. So be lieving, the Democratic party made its plat- form. lam not hereto take back one word of that platform or to say that it is deficient, Iam here to speak for it and to defend it with all the eloquence I possess. ‘*As to the campaign,the Democratic party Was never in Detter condition than these last few days of the campaign, andi belleve we are the winners in this hard fought battle. That does not mean that we must relax our vigilance for one minute until election day, until the polls close and the count is begun, and l might say until the count fs ended. ‘*The early history of our country is one great concession tothe theory taht it is not constitutional totaxany onethingoriot of things more than is needed to paythe ex- penses of the Government, It is not legal to proses manufacturers of our own country y taking the money to protectthem out of the pockets of the poor man. ‘ihe tariff question 1s one that might xo before the courts if our Repuvlican friends woulu give us the title of their billand not cover it up.

"CLEVELAND SIGNED MORE PENSION BILLS THAN 4NY PRESIDENT. New Yor. Nov. 5.~The report circulated by the Republican campaign managers that the old diers were for Harrison in this election fs shown to he false by statistics gathered by veterans who in Grover Qleveland and the prin- ciples of the Democratic party. . The National Veteran Tarif Reform League has been doing great work since the nominating conventions apd.the result of their canvass of G. A, RB, vetérans throughout the United States shows that a large proportion propose to support Oleveland and Stevenson. The veterans who keep pace with events know that the Republican charge that Cleveland is inimical to the war veteran is untrue. Inan interview Mr. Joseph W. Kay of Brooklyn, N. ¥., a veteranofthe war, whose motto, **FPraternity,’’ means something, is known everywhere, and who for many years has been tne most active and earnest advucate of the rights of his comrades says: *“*The abuse and vilifi- cation of Mr, Oleveland, emanating from veterans is rot. Those who issue it know it is untrue. Joan 8. Kountz, Toledo, O.;John P. Rea, Minneapolis, Minn., and John Pal- mer, Albany, all past commanders in chief of the Grand Ariny of _ the Republic very well know the attitude of Mr. Cleveland while President on pension matters. They know that he was not unfriendly tothe veterans. Toat least one of these President Cleveland,while he was tno office sald: which the veterans themselves are agreed.’’ They each know, too, tiat President Cleve- ‘land personally exercised his authority to rotect veternsin their rigptto preference bb public employment. Concerning sec. 1754 Revised statutes of the United States to veterans who waited on him inthe in- terest, he said: ‘‘Ask reasonable things and will do my share. Not alone use of the law, but for the reason that it isin consonance with my Own views on the subject.’’ The National Veteran Tariff Reform League was organ- iged nine weeks ago. Siace then its Presi- gent, Col, . 5ec- retary, Theo, F. ; Ca J. Kel- ler, Capt. Brown, Oapt. Paulson and others have circulated among the old soldiers and communicated with those ata distance with resuitsthatare extremely gratifying to the Democratic party. Col. eller said yester day that there are enrolled on the list of the G. A. BK. an unprecedented number of men in favor of Cleveiand’s election. The following circular was sentto the majority of weterans in the Northern States whose addresses could be obtained: : NATIONAL TARIFF REFORM LEAGUE, RooM 2. ¥4 FIFru AVESUB, NEW YORK, THzO. W.

I served ——, and my Post-oflice address is No. —-—, In response to this over 60,000 veterans sent in their names. Col. Keller’s canvass of this city shows that there are over 4,000 veterans here whoare goingto votethe Democratic ticket ard there are over 11,00 In the State. To every man who received the above circular extracts from public documents in Washington were forwardei and the plain facts unembellished were forwarded. One of the documents sent broadcast among the soldiers was this: Veterans, read thetruth. Private pension bills signed by the presidents during their term of office since 1861 werein numbDer as follows: i, SR a cones bee eennnede cohen President A. Johnson PP sf BRE President U. 8. Grant, eight years President Kk. B. Hayes,four years . President C. A. Arthur, four vears ...........«. President Grover Cieveland, four years These figures cannot ve refuted, and more veterans were retained in offices by Grover Cleveland than by any other President. This cannot be denied. Col. Keller made an in- vestigation into public departmentsin New York City, both Federal and municipal, with a view of ascertaining how much truth there was in the charge that the Democrats ignored the veterans. This is what he says: **Out of over 4,369 employes inthe Post-office in New York there are only 191 veterans em. loyed in the United States Courts, the Inited States District Attorney’s office and the United States Mareéhal’s offices. There are four veterans in over three hundred employes and one of these is United States Marshal Jacobus. I investi- gaied the city departments to see how Tam- many Hal! has beentreating the old soldier. Armed with a letter of intro luction from Richard Croker, the heals of all departments afforded me every facility to get the informa- tion I wanted. I di*ecovered that in the courts of Common Pleas, where there are thirty odd employes, sixteen of them are veterans, ani! inthe other courts the same roportion is maintained. Inthe Public Works epartment, where there are a little over 1,600, I found 374 veterans. The last munici- pal bureau I visited was the Dock Department and there I found seventy eight veterans. That is, Tammany Halil removes the old soldier. Comparethe proportions with the Federal departments and you will see how the matter stands. BOSTON BUSINESS MEN. FANEVIL HALL RESOUNDS TO THEIR DEMO- CRATIC CHEERS. BosTon, Nov. 5.—Despite the driving snow storm, there was an immense gathering in Faneuil Hall this afternoon. at the Demo- cratic business men’s meeting. Henry L. Pierce presided and made the opening ad- dress, the other speakars being Hon. John G. Carlisle of Kentucky and Hon. G. F. Wil- liams. Upon the platform with the speakers was an Influential array of well-known Bos- tonians, and the gathering generally was distinctively a collection of business men. All of the speakers were heartily applauded and each was the recipient of a most flatter. ing ovation, kx-Speaker Carlisle was introduced at 2 o'clock, but it was some minutes later before the applause subsided sufficiently toenable him to make bimself heard. He said that the one remain- ing question ofthis campaign is whether the election can be bought—whether the Amer!- can people can be bribed with thelr own monéy, wrung from them bya system of un- just taxation. [ries of ‘‘Good.’”’ ‘*our forefathers rebelled chiefly because of a tax which they considered unjust—a tax on imported tea. It has been reserved for the Republican party to bestow upon the President a power which King George never possessed, nortried to exercilse—the power to tax at his discretion imported tea and coffee and sugar and hides. Their mere statement of the question is enough to show that the action of Congress has been uncon- stitutional.’’ hir. Carlisle continued at some length to urge the unconstitutionality of the McKinley bi ll. The minds of the people, he continued, are largely turning away from the analysis of the tariff and tables of statistics to the great underlying moral question—lIs it right to tax the many for the nefit of the fow? [Ap- plause.}] Once brought before the people on this issue and the present tariff policy Is as sure to rish as was the institution of siavery, vor it is only after all a matter of degree. “ ‘ihe man whose labor. or a part of it, is taken from his own uses and applied by law to the benefit of another isa slave forthat ortion of histime, The tarlif was devised ess as a protection to labor than aga source of income for the campaign fund. \r.

PETERSBURG, Va., Nov. 5.—The general im- pression here ts that the contest between Harrison and Oleveiand will be close. An in- timate friend of Gen.

Thomas Goode, the Third party candidate, he would be elected, but, on the other hand, !f Hon, James F.

Cleveland to be more popular than wasat one time estimated.’’ An immense audience was addressed by Senator Daniel on the political issues of the day at Waverly, on the Norfoik & Western Raliroad, to-day, and he was accorded a grand ovation. MISSOURI POLITICS, HELD ALL OVER THE STATE. LOUISIANA, Mo., Nov. 5,—Louisiana will wind up the campaign with a grand match rally on Monday. Matt Reynolds of St. Louls will undertake to enthuse the Republicans at Hurnett Opera-house at nightand whip them into ne. watt ts one of the Pike county bosses and is always hereon the eve ofan election. His special mission on that occasion will be to try to prevent a lar«e number of Independent Republicans from voting for Champ Clark for Congress. Clark will recelve more Republican votes in Pike than he will lose among the disaffected of ‘his own party. Col. Wm. Morsey has appeared here at two ralites and fafied@to impress the voters with his qualifications for Congressman as against Champ Clark wit superior mental caliber, and laudable am- bition. Col. Clark began his career in this city as principal of the High school, and his ambition has always been onward and upward. The final rally ‘s to be a contest of brass bands, torchliight proces- sions, orators andlung power, The Demo- erats are determined to outdo the Repubil- cans. Hon. Scott Wike of Illinois, Robert H.

Bis Workingmen Beginning to Inquire if Théy Are Not the Ones Who Really Give the Money—Some Statistics That “Tell a Queer Story—Political Miscel- lany. ) PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Nov. 5.—Hamilton Disston of Philadelphia is a ten-time million- aire. He made his money manufacturing saws. In 1888 he gave $10,000 to the Republican campaign corruption fund, and bought protection for his ws inthe MeKinley bill. The duty isso heavy that it practically prohibits the importation of for- eign saws. To continue this pleasant protec- tion Mr. Disston has given $10,000 to the vote-buying fund of 1892. He also assisted President Thomas Dolan of the Philadelphia Manufacturers’ Club to fry fat out of other protected manufacturers to the tune of a million or so. Mr. Disston isthe largest saw manufact- turer in the world, and his ftade is mot confined tc the United States. Henry Disston & Sons sell saws and files and tools inallthe markets of Europe and in South America and Australia. In fact allover the world. Of course, Mr. Disston is **protected’’ in his home market and can snap his fingers at the manufacturers of Sheffield, England, for instance, but how is itin South America and Australia and those other countries where Mr. Disston isnot protected, there he is brought into open com peti- tion with the same men of ‘‘free trade, pauper-labor England? If he cannot afford to pay American wages and still compete with foreign manufacturers in the United States, how can he do so in Russia, or Brazil, or New Zealand? In those foreign countries Mr. Disston has no protection, and it might be supposed that the field would be closed to him. The facts are that Mr. Disston puts his prices down in the open markets, down far below what he charges for the same articles in the United States, where he says he has to have ~ protection in order to keep up the p&y of his workmen, down even below the prices fixed by the Sheffield and other manufacturers, driving them out of the marketand practically mo- nopolizing the saw trade of the world. He does this and has an immense foreign trade and is worth $10,000,000 made out ofsaws: The factthat he is constantly reaching out after more of that foreign trade proves conclusively that he finds it not en- tirely unprofitable. Spear & Jackson of Sheffield, England, are perhaps the next largest manufacturers of saws and files, andare the Disstons’ principal competitor in the markets of the world, but they find it very up-hill work trying to undersell them in foreign markets. Copies of Henry Disston & Sons’ wholesale price-list, with discounts for use in the United States, and copies of their price-list and discounts for the foreign markets tell an interesting tale. Forinstance, they show thata twen- ty-four inch, solid tooth circular saw, which sells atretall in the United States for $12, andissoldto the hardware dealer at 45 per cent andil0 per cent off, or $5.94, is sold to the dealer at the other side of the world for $5.40 0r 10 percent less. ae oe and presumably is doing his est. The best, however, that he seems able todo isto get insulted person- ally by one Mr. MuacVeagh of Pennsylvania, But it seems that Mr. MacVeagh only re pealed about M.. Egana part of what Mr, Vbite'aw Reid putintothecolumns of the New Work Tribune long~ ago. Does Mr. Egan find the original and larger insalt washed out.because Whiteiaw Reid is now the Republican candidate for the Vice-Presi- dency? If Mr. Egan thinks that a whole race of men should rise up and revenge his injuries, forswearing all princl- and convictions for the nonce, not ask them to resent the insult put upon and all over him by White- law Keid? The way to punfsh that Is to vote against him and hischief. Let Mr. Egan settle his score with his Republican friends before he pleads for assistance from outside. But he says he was insulted because he is Irish. Poor Man! He and his friends must feel that Irish birth of his a tremendous load tocarry. ‘lihey havesomuch of it. It has been used in every conceivable way to bonst and bolster up this Harrison administration. What a cackle was made about his appointmentand aboutall his movements andacts in Chill Decause he wasan Irish- man. Do people forget that he took the place ofan Irisnmanat leastaseminent as he, Col, Wm. Roberts, ex-President of the Fentan Brotherhood, who was the appointee of Mr. Cleveland? Democrats make no fuss about snch appointments. We take it as a matter of course that an American citizen, born in Ireland, isjust as good as any other citizen, but an Irish- American Republican is transplanted to the pearly seventh heaven if a bone should be dropped to him. I am very fond of Mr. Egan personally and have known him foralong time. I wish he had, after his arrival, remained long enoug in the United States to learn more of our ways and wants and something of our »politics. If he had tarried with us a sufficient space of time he would have known whatthe oath of allegiance to the United States signifies—that it transforms the allen into the American, the slave into a free man, and that it Imposes solemn duties as well as grants the highest privileges. The duty of an American citizen isto serve the great Kepublic to conserve its interests, to uphold its con- stitution, to guardits honor, No, our friend Mr. Eganis nota martyr. He has suffered nothing either by insult or lack of recogni- tion on account, of his foreign birth. He has fared very well for a new comer and he ought to be grateful for it. Let him and men like him learn that here there is nu chief and no class, as inthe Old World, that Americans of whatever race can only beled by reason and cannot be driven atall, andthat humbug was measured by its fool’s suit of clothes before 1892.’’ HOT SHOT, N. O. NELSON ANSWERS A REPUBLICAN ARGU- MENT. ALTON, Ill., Nov. 5.—W. A. Northcott, Re- publican candidate for Congress from the Eighteenth Illinois District, has during his entire campaign made protection to Amer- ican labor his theme. He has referred to the metal goods works of the Nelson Manufacturing Co. of Ea. wardsviile and St. Louisas among the evi- dences of the beneficent results of a protec- tive tariff. For this the president of* the company, Mr. N. QO. Nelson, takes him to task in an open letter.published in the’news- paper ofthis county, in which he says: **I give ir as my opinionthat the policy of protection has nothing whatever to do with either thé development and prosperity of manufacturing in our classes of goods nor with the wages. I can assure you that you are in error in supposing the prosperity of the Nelson works = is in any manner dueto protection. They are there owifigto the business advantages of Edwardsylile and the West. They are there and progpering in spite of the stupid and brutal tyade policy inaugurated by the Re- publican party, a policy which drove me and many lifelong Republicans out ofthe party.’’ HIS LAST GUN. MAKES A FINAL APPEAL FOR VOTES. New Yor#, Nov. 5.—The last gun of the campaign, so far as the Republicans are con- cerned, was fired to-night at a monster mass meeting at Cooper Union, under the auspices ofthe Republican Club. At 8:15 Hon. Thomas B. Reed made his way ontotothe stage. No sooner was he seen than with one accord the audience, and even those seated on the plat- form, rose to its feet. Hats, handkerchiefs, banners,canes and umbrellas were flourished intheair and cheer after cheer for Reed shook the very walls of the building. It took fully ten minutes for the enthusiasm of the crowd to _ subside, Just as things began to quiet down Mr. Chauncey M, Depew appeared upon the Stage. Then the enthusiasm was renewed, and atter repeated calls for order President Blanchard of the Republican Club introduced Hon. Thomas B. Reed of siaine. He said: ‘*Ladies and Gentlemen—You can make the task before me very easy or hard, and 1 ad- vise you to make it as easy as possible, Thus far you have been far too noisy for consider- ation of those things I shall talk of to- night. 1 believe in the Republican party, not because of its prin- ciples, but because of itself.

Great applause greeted Mr. Depew’s retirement and the meeting, which was one of the most successful of the cam- paign, slowly dispersed. y that ILLINOIS CAMPAIGN, CROWNING EFFORTS MADE BY BOTH GREAT PARTIES. BLOOMINGTON, Ill.; Nov. 5.—A glorious finish was added here to-day to one of the most brilliant and aggressive campaigns ever waged by Democracy in Illinois. Just ten weeks ago to-day thecampaign was form- ally opened by the Democrats of this State by a gathering in this city,addressed by Gen. stevenson and other notables. The ringing words delivered on that occasion inspired enthusiasm, which, after a period of effec- tive work, had a fitting climax in the city whence it emanated. The Democ- racy of a greater part of Centrai_ Illil- nois centered here to-day and showed a strengthand harmony presaging great re- suits next Tuesday. All the earlier part of the week had been stormy and disagreeable, seeming to thwart all preparations for a big gathering, but to-day dawned clear and cool, and from early morning till: night people poured into the city, there being to- night about 18,000 strangers here. The visit- ing delegates this afternoon formed an Im- posing line as it marched to the Union Depot to meet Judge Altgeld, Congressman Springer, Hon, W. G.\ Ewing and other distinguished persons who came down from Chicago. After the parade the people packed the Grand Opera-house tothe roof to hear the speeches. Hon. James 8, Ewing, Gen. Stevenson’s law. partner, presided, Judge Altgela was the first speakor and was given a rousing ovation when he arose to speak. He spoke about an hour on National and State issues. His points on the tariff question were particularly striking. He sald that when an importertriesto bring in goods he must pay a tax into the Treasury ofthe United States, buta *-protected’’ manufacturer, being already in this country and fortified behind the McKin- ley bill, can make the same goods and charge the same price” as an importer. This but puts an extra profit into his own pocket, instead of paying it into the Government treasury. Turning to State Issues, Judge Altgeld showed up in plain light some burning facts of abuse in State Institutions, particularly the Joliet Penitentary and the Anna Insane Asylum. These facts, as given to the people of the _ State during Judge Altgeld’s town will prove one of the greatest stones to wreck Fifer’s administration. The Coopershop mismanagement atthe peniten- tlary was dwelt upon at some length and lucidly explained. Judge Altgeid made a fine aijilusion to. the Vice-Presidentialcandidate, at which Gen, Stevenson’s fellow-citizens burst forth with three rousing cheers anda ‘‘tiger’’ for the whole ticket. Following Altgeld, a speech was made by Congressman Springer. He set the audience wild with enthusiasm by his confident assurances of victory all along the line. Hehad just returned from Cook County and says the Democratic majority there Is only a question of how big, while in the State outside of Cook County Altgeld is safe for 15,000. He then made a statement of the tariff issue and the fallacy of protection. Passing on he con- sidered the money question and ridiculed the Republican attempt to make _é capital out of the 18) called ‘*wild Cat plank.’’ To-night was held by far the biggest torch-light parade of the whole sampaign, large delegations being present from Peoria, Springfield, Clinton and other cities, Aftterhe parade Hon. W. G., Ewing of Chicago, a cousin of Gen, Steven- son, made a speech at the Grand Opera- house. LABOR’S VOICE, IT WAS LIFTED UP FOR CLEVELAND LAST NIGHT. New York, Nov. 5.—Organized labor lifted up its voice last night at Webster Hall, Elev- enth street and Third avenue, in favor of Cleveland and Stevenson and tariff reform. It was one of the old time enthusiastic labor meetings of Henry George’s time, and many of the leaders in that political struggle were among the vast audience. Many persons were unable to gain admittance so an overflow meeting was held outside, the speaking being done from a trnck. The leading members of a majority of the unions were seated in the body of the hail, while fifty-eight union officials were on the plat- form and acted as vice- presidents. John Yasker, President of the Board of Walking Delegates, was Chairman and Mor- timer O’Connell, Secretary of the Central Labor Union, and Harry Mayer, Master Workman of Progressive Carpenters, Sec- retaries. Others who were there H. Oscar Cole, ex-President of the International Union of Bricklayers; Oscar Culver, Treasurer of Dis- trict Assembly 256; James J. Doyle of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters, and Wili- iam F. Roberts and David Lynch, from Homestead. ‘*The met to- Chairman Tasker, in opening, noe to show that the Working people of this city are in favor of tariff reform, and to demonstrate thata certain organization composed of men of questionable reputations and calling them- selves the Industrial Alliance is trying to gull the masses.’” ‘i John P. Burke of Typographical Union No. 6, made an enthusiastic speech against the McKinley bill. Whitelaw Reid was referred to as an insidious schemer who never kepta contract. ‘*‘When James G. Blaine ran for President,’’ continued Burke, ‘*‘Whitelaw Reid retused todo justice to printers on his behalf. With the Vice-Presidency dangling before his eyes he does for himself what he would not do “for his party and believes he has ¢bought the print- ers of the country at this price. We enormous ‘‘boodle’’ that is being used to In- fluence their votes is destructive to their rights atthe polls. Thisis the most impor- tant moment for us, for if this boodle party succeeds the belief thatthe people control the destinies of the nation through the bal- lot will be destroyed, and we may expect heavier burdens to pay for this outrage.’ James McKim of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners then made an energetic address, giving his ex- perience with Jonn Wanamaker at the time he was working in Philadelphia. Mr. Wannamaker discharged all his union hands, he said, for asking for more pay, and hired non-union men at lower rates. William F. Roberts of Homestead, who sat on the platform, was calied on fora speech. “It is curious,’’ he said, ‘‘fora life-long Re- publican to be at Democratic meeting, but the people of Pennsylvadia have got their eyes opened and J believe also a good Many work- ingmen of this apes A .

At the outdoor meeting George F. Moore of Typographical Union No, 6, and ex-Com- mander of Horace Greely Post, was chair- man. The speakers were Thomas J. Ford, Brass Workers’ Union; John Donnelly, Bricklayers’ Union; W. Kessaler, Plasterers’ Union, and Michael Moss, United Order of American Carpenters. SILENT VOTERS. Weird Scene at a Political Meeting of Deaf Mutes. : New YorK, Nov. 6.—Two hundred men made up a political meeting in Webster Hall last night. It was a Democratic meeting. Chairman William Harrity, Richard Croker and Josiah Quincy came into the hall and sat down. They were not greeted with a single cheer, It was a meeting of deaf mutes. This city never saw a meeting like {t before. People gathered there from all over town, from. Brooklyn and from neighboring’ towns in New Jersey. A man who glanced in,:for,a moment would have said it was a meeting of more than ordinarily well dressed and unusually fntelll- gent men. Belore the meeting was called to order men gathered about the hall. Whenit was half filled there was no sound save now and then the shuffling of feet or curious little cries. There was motion everywhere, waving arms and flashing fingers with the speaking of mobile features. But of uttered words there was notasound. After a while there cameinthe deaf mutes who have learned how to take In the curious way of the schools. In the rear of the hall were half a dozen policemen. They were un- usually big policemen, Thesilence and the movement awedthem. They shifted about uneasily in their seats and left them very often. The silent people about, their faces smiling as they greetedeach other. When one wanted to speak with another across the room he seemed only to have to wave his hand.It was after 8 o’clock when Mr. Harrity and Mr. Croker came in with the others of the party including Col. % Haynie and Evan B. Howell, the editor of the Atlanta Constitution. They stood at the door for flve minutes and.were not recognized.It was a curious illustration of the clannishness of the deaf mutes, showing how completely they live alone. Then someone came up and led the big political leaders toa seat. A handsome young man in evening dress mounted the platform. His thick, blonde curly hair, wascombed back from NOls fore- head, and his mustache was trimly curled. He was Albert Ballin. With him was a sturdy man, with bushy whiskers. This was Prof. Curne of the New York Institute, who acted as interpreter. Mr. Baliin held both hands, with the fingers pointing downward. The audience speedily took their seats. It became very still, Those who could hear squirmed in their seats and looked aboutthem, There was nothing to take the place of that buzz of undertone conversation which characterizes meetings of people who can hear and talk. Mr. Croker looked more sphinx-like than usual. Mr. Harrity knitted his brows and looked closely. There was Vivacity, life and gallic sprightliness in every movement of Mr. Ballin, Prof. Curnes stool beside him with a type-written copy of introductory speech in his Mr. Ballin had committed the speech which he delivered to those who could not hear. Prof. Curnes read it to those who could. Hereadat an ordin- rate of speed and Nr. Ballin up with him without aim- cuity. When Mr. Ballin finished his introduction those who could hear, saw many of the mutes place their right hands to their lips and waft kisses to the speaker. They saw them do it againand they Knew it wasasignof approbation. Suddenly there cameastrangecry that sent chills down his back. Some one explained’ that it was a mute whose enthusiasm was rampant. Hehas not the slightest idea that he could be heard, Mr. Ballin had told how it was that so few deaf mutes took an active interest in politics, He said that it was because they live in a worldof their own, and no one had thought of teaching them politics. The idea occurred to him that it would be wise to organize them. With the sanction of the National Dem- ocratic Committee he had gone through the State meeting the su00 deaf mute voters. In New York ‘ity he said there were 200 doaf mute voters. ‘hen he went on todiscussthe political issues. The bigmen in frontof him who have heared those issues discussed until they knew them thoroughly, looked and listened Withamazement. \.r.

William J. Stone, Richard Daiton and others filled the hall | to overfiowing.

P. Taaffe, committeeman, called the meeting to order and Dr. Rodgers sang ‘‘The Sword of Bunker Mill,’’ which stirred up the patriotic sentiment of the Twenty-seventh Ward men until they ¢houted with delight. DALTON’S SPEECH, Mr. Dalton entertained* the immense crowd for more than an hour and was re- peatedly interrupted by applause and wild cheering. **I had the pleasure’’ sald he ‘‘some months ago of speaking to you under differ- ent circumstances from those which now surround us. Then there was a campaign of Goabt and grave import before us. To-night stand before a united. Democracy. Ibelieve t there is not one of you who does not look upon himself as a soldier of Democracy speci- ally detailed to defend the party of right.’’ **We have, in this country, fellow-citizens, @ policy called protection. Itisa misnomer. It does not protect those most in need of pro- tection. It imposes burdens on some for the benefit of others whoare richer than those wpon whom the hea@vy taxesare levied. What Fight has anyone to impose a tax on me for the benefit ofanother man. The doc- trine of protectiom; so far as it applies to the laboring classes, is the most unmitigated fraud that ever found its way among the laws of this country. Its objectis nut to protect the laboring people, but to enslave them. It grinds them to earth that certain Classes may live in Iiuxury. Those who advocate that infamous measure—the McKinley bill—have many sophistries with which to fool you. McKinley, the great apostie of high tariff, has been going about ina palace car preaching to the laboring classes that his law raised their wages, and telling the farmers that it raised the price of their products. An old farmer asked him why it was that he usedto get 8 cents and 90 cents for his wheat, and how that the McKinley bill was in force he could get only 60 cents for it. Mr. MckKiniey told the far- mer that that question was notin his line of thought. Now, look at Andrew Carnegie. He the protected ones. had reaped the McKinley bill he told the men employed in his works that he could not pay them fair wages and he also insisted that in future their contracts should expire in January instead of in July. Why Wwasthis? Simply because when the chill of winter is touching every cheek he has the laboring man in his power. He can dictate his own terms and make his own contracts. No, fellow citizens, high tariff does not pro- tect you. Organization alone can do that. The laboring men andthe farmers are the producers of this country, and they have the affairs of the country in thelrown handsif they will but look after theirown interests. They can do nothingsingle-handed. Organl- gation and watchfulness over the schemes of such men as Andrew Carnegie can alone pro- tect you.’’ Andrew CGarnegie and his library were * treated by the speaker in humorous sar- casm. Carnegie rould give away libraries in scotland and donate the sum of $200,000 to the Republican campaign fund, but he could ey ey the men who had made all his money or him “Why' should laboring men apeest Maj. Warner, orwhy should they adhere to the Republican party? I’ll tell you why you hould vote for Maj. Warner. Because while @ was representing you in Congress he caused to pass not a =~°Ssingle bill for the advantare of the laboring classes in this country. I have nothing to do with his personal character, but politically he has never done one thing forsuch men as you. Nor has the Republican rty. Every law that was ever put upon - the statute books of Missouri for the better- t of laboring men Was put there by the mocratic party. It is to the Democratic party that such law's as that for the measure- entof the miners’ productsand the pro- tection of the lives of miners are due. I . Gould name many ‘others.

He voted against the faw prohibiting Diacklisting. That is enough to down him, He did not wantthe laboring man relieved from the iniquitous persecu- - tion of railroad corporations unger the out- ragous system called Diacklisting.

Alarge part of the crowd rushed out go meet him and wher he entered the hail there was a deafening cheer tkat continued several minutes. The candidate for gubernatorial showed the ef of the . arduous word has done during the Campaign. He askek few minutes’ respite.

But he found bs gt to point out the glaring inconsistencies of those who upheld the measure an’ to show that it has made the burdens of laboring man no less, His hearers showed that they were with the speaker hand and giove, ard inter- rupted his short speech by frequent bursts of applause. As the meeting broke up some one shouted, ‘‘And now for next Tuesday,’’ and the response from another throat was, ‘‘Yeés, and we’ll bury tirem all along the line,’’ : STONE AT CARONDELET, The reception given Col. Wm. J. Stone by one that will not soon be forgotten. The Democratic candidate for Governor went to Carondelet in a special train and was met by the Young Men’s Democratic Club in fulluniform, and fully 1,000 others, armed with torches. A brass band led the crowd, which marched to st. Bontface’s Hall. There was much complaint because the com- mittee did not lease a larger hall, as the place was entirely too small to accommodate the crowd, The Reception Committee, comprising Col. Dick Southard, Matt Jodd, Jose Murphy, Wm. B. Lange, Judge A. W. Alexan- der and Henry Queilmaiz, had the hall beautifully decorated for the occasion. Col. Stone had but one hour to argue the political points of the day. He Showed the —_—— of. the Republican ae during the Harrison administration. he numerous strikers and the causes during the pastand current year were lucidly por- trayed. The speaker did not attack Warner as a man but showed up his past conduct as a public servant. He conciuded his remarks by hoping that all present would support the Democratic ticket, especially Cieveland, and keep Mis- souri in the ranks. Col. Dick Dalton followed Col. Stone and he was followed by ex-Gov. Hubbard of Texas. Mayor Edward Noonan and Mike Ruther- ford also entertained the. vast assemblage with speeches. Col. Stone left onhis special train for Tower Grove at 9:15 p. m. “ Warner's Big Demonstration. Maj. William Warner closed his canvass, 60 far ag the city is concerned, in Exposition Music Hall last night, and he had an immense audience, Through the management of the State and City Committees all the Repub- lican clubs in the city were prevailed upon to turn out their fuollstrength. Every- body who would wear a cape, cap andcarrya torch was supplied by the workers, who hed ali the funds they needed for the purpose, About fifteen clubs had brass bands, which played ‘‘Marching Through Georygia’’ from the start to the finish. When the meeting was opened at 8 o’clock nearly every seat was taken and whenthe clubs arrived and pushed their wayin the hall was jammed, All the Oustom-bouse officials, mem- of the State and, mittees, candidates on ticket occupied seats on the platform. Fiiley came on the stage With Chairman Bothwell of the State Committee, and ex- Congressman Niledringhaus was with his family in a box. inthe large gathering, tbere Were not less thana thousand colored men, andthe Warner Democrats were rep- resented by a drunken individual who male hims-lf so obstreperous that he was walked out of the piace. Chairman Bothwell opened the meeting and madealongtalk. Hesald the signs of the political times in Missouri indicated a splendid victory for Warner, Mueller ana the rest of the ticket. He was followed by ,Filey who was greeted with cheers - s soon as: he stepped before the footlights. He spoke only a few minutes, assuring his hearers that the Republican chances of vic- tory were very encouraging. He also said he was still standing up for Missouri and knew Warner would be elected. When he reached this point Maj. Warner came on the plat- form, escorted by the Hamil ton Republican Association, com- manded by Capt. Frank Williams. The crowd went wildand all the bands bro Mr. Wind on the Defensive. Mr. Frederick A. Wind, the Republican nominee for the Circuit Judgeship, has been on the defensive ever since he has been nomi- nate !, and both he and his party allies have been kept busy explaining one charge after another to his discredit made both in the hewspapers and privately. uncommon thing in 8st.

At the electon to be beld next Tuesaday the people of Missouri! will be called upon to vote onan amendment-to the Staté Constitution p@oviding for the establishment of a fund for disabled and crippled firemen, and for the relief of widows and minor children of de- ceased fremen in all cities ofthe State hav- ing a regularly organized fire department. The amendment is as follows: Sec. 1.—That sec. 47 of art. 4 of the eonstitution be amended by adding thereto the following words. to wit: Provided, that this shall not be so construed es te prohibit the General Assembly from providing y law for authorizing the creation, maintenance and management of a fund for the pensioning of crippled and disabled fremen, ard for the relief of the widows and minor children of deceased firemen by such cities, villages or imcorporated towns as may have an organized tire department—said funds Ao be taken trom the municipal revenue of such cities, villages or incorporated towns. e The duties of firemen in all targe cities is such that their lives are constantly in danger and their risks of losing limbs or of being apes and disabled continuous.

Reynolds ts In possession of information which has caused him considerable anxiety concerning the election next Tuesday. When he arrived at his office yesterday morning it was evident that his spirit was perturbed, and that he had important busi- hess on band. In the corridors about his Office were many anxious-looking men, and in the inner rooms Mr. Reyno!ids was button- holed by politicians to whom he listened with the greatest attention. The cause of the unusual commotion was the mucnh- feared election repeater, and the information Mr, Reynolds has received is that preparations are being made by certain parties to organize angs of repeaters to work the polis next ‘uesday. Hehas the namesof the persons at the head of the movement, and has been authorized by the authorities at Washington to appoint special deputy mar- shals, in addition to those regularly assigned to the various precinct polling places, to arrest persons who may attempt to vote Illegally. Many of the men who hung about the Federal Building yesterday were !ooking forappointments though the majority were United States Supervisors of Election, awaiting the long-delayed registration books, These had not yet left the printer’s hands, and cons derable confuston has ensued, They will be delivered to the United States Supervisors of Election of the different pre- cincts and a rapid canvass will then be made to determine whether they contain names of persons not entitisd to vote. R YNOLDS RETICIENT. The result of the importunities of the men who called to see Mr. Keynolds could not be ascertained. The District Attorney was him- selrina most secretive mood, ‘o a Post- DISPATCH reporter he would say nothing ex- cept that he had been authorized from Wash- ington to employ special United States Mar shals to prevent repeating, and that all in- formation he had on the suDject he had sent to Washington. 4 Betting on the Result. There w’sa marked impetus in the election betting yesterday, andit will grow brisker until the poils’ close Tuesday night. A number of béts were made yesterday, not to speak of the wnaccepted propositions, Cleveland continues to bea prim? favorite, while Harrison money, as the betters put It, is ‘‘very shy.’’ A well-Known St. Louisan received a letter yesterday from a shrewn New York poiitician which shows clearly what the betting men in Gotham think of the prospects. The letter is as follows: NEw YORK, Nov. 8. DraRr 8.—l arrived home safely Sunday night and found ali well. I called Monday and yesterday to see the best informed menin New York among the Democrats. ‘Iheyare piaring shy on the generai result, but betting 2:0 1 on New York State for Cleveland. Stokes and Mike Dwyerare the two largest betters onthisState. The former thinks the State a ‘‘cinch,’’ but the result donbtfual. Ed Kear- ney last night made the Kepubfican betters quit. He shoox $50,090 at them and could only get)§30 on $35,000 at evens. This, of course, was on Cleveland for general result. Kd Stokes bet $750 to $1,000 that three of the four *‘doubtful’’ States would go for Cleveland (i, e. New York, New Jersey, Indiana and Connecticut). Connecticat looks the most doubtful of the four. All agree thatdersey is an airtieht for Grover and men who should know best are betting any odds on this State for Cieveland. Mike Dwyer must have nearly $50,000 on the State and general result. You can probably getonal! you want at evens at home. You might tell ‘'Rickey’’ thathe can send on his stuff to anybody he knows and it ts a sure thing he can get it placed on general result. 1 hear that the Kepublican crowd From Philadé@iphia are going toshowup with $100,000 to-night at the Hoffman, Phil Owyer and Whitney and Ed Kearney promise to beon hand. I hear anything more definite will wire you. Yours very truly, A. B. H. A well-dressed young man, who declined to give his name, called at the Republican State Headquarters yesterday, and produced a Dig roll of bilis. He said he had heard tat somebody there had money to bet on Harri- son. ‘*l Rave $500 to bet Cleveland will carry Indiana; $600 he will “said 4 New York, and $600 on the general result.’ ’He had no takers. R.D. Bowman of Lilinois, a Democrat,made a wawser of $5,000 yesterday with P. D. Richard, a Republican, a native of Kansas, that Cleveland would defeat Harrison for President. The wager was made at Hurst’s Hotel at 9 o’clock this morning, Mr. Bowman offered to bet $200 on the result with a friend, when the gentleman from Kansas stepped up and remarked that if the bet was mace $1,000 he would take it. Vr. Bowman replied that he would giadiy cover the bet and would make it double that amount. One bet fol- lowed another until the amount at stake was $5,000 a side. A gentieman, who does not desire his name published, called at the Postr-DispatcHofice yesterday morning and stated that he had an eighty-acre improved farm in Saline County, lil., valued at $1,000, which he would like to wager against that amount in money ora piece of real estate valued at $1,000, that Ben- jamin Harrison would be re-elected President of the United States. That A. P. A. Conference. Tnat the A. P. A. organizationis prepared to take an active part in Tuesday’s election with a view of cefeating every candidate in any way, no matter how remotely, connected with the Catholic Church was fully shown in the account of the secret confer- ence beld Friday night at Jef- ferson and Lucas avenues, published in the Post-DisPaTCH of yesterday. A reporter, who happened in that neighoor- hood shortly after 8 o’clock that evening, found a party of gentiemen closely watching the entrance tothe ball. They had nh re- liably informed that a conference of A. P. A. members of the Seventeenth, I'wenty-second and Twenty-fourth Wards was to be hela for the purpose of getting ready for the election.

The city machine is leaving Nothing undone to get ing among tha and he pon not how he will get them. has courted. the Irish-American element, the A. P. A. and, In fact, every other element to counteract the opposition of the respectable element of the Republican party. He has all the old-time Filley strikers interested h number of deputyships of his election, Judging from the number of promises made it would appear that Pohiman ‘ntended to double the present office force. Ofcourse he cannot do this and if he does happento be elected some of his present workers will be his bitterest enemies after his appointments are made, Pohiman has made some enemies in his own ranks in his canvass, Out at Tower Grove a few nights ago he said thatif \\arner was elected 300 Irish and Germans would be dropped off the police forceand retired to the shades of private life. Forthis declaration he is coming in for considerable denunciation. The Noonan*Filley Combine. A Alscovery made within the past few days by the friends of Dr. J. G. Parrish, the Demo- cratic nominee for Coroner, is but another evidence of the existence of a combine be- tween the Noonan Democratic push and the Filley-Pohlman Republican workers. Itisa fact known to allthat the two par- ticular representatives of Filleyon the Re- publican ticket are his first Neutenants, Joho H. Pohiman, nominee for Sheriff, and Dr, John N. Frank, nominee for Coroner, who has stuck to‘*deole man’’ through all his ups and downs in the political see-saw. That an alliance has existed between Noonan and Filley for a few. years been the general lief Democrats and Republicans, belief has been carried out by work done by the friends of both bosses at the polls. It has been frequently charged of late that Noonan’s followers had been secretly work- ing for Pohlman and would doall they could to secure his election over Staed, the Demo- cratic nominee. Now the friends of Dr. Par- rish ciaim to have indisputable evidence that Jim Brennan, the Mayor’s Secretary, and other members of the push are opposin the Democratic nominee for Coroner an working for Frank, the Filley candidate. Dr. Parrish’s friends are greatiy incensed, but claim their man wil! draw enough votes from the vetter element of the Republican party to more than offset what he will lose by the treachery of the ‘‘push.’* He stands well AaAmongthe medical proféssion and business men and expects to poll a big independent vote. Mayor Noonan’s Proclamation. Mayor Noonan yesterday issued the usual proclamation for the observance of Tuesday next, Nov. 8, general election days, it beluga public holiday by the State law. Itis as follows: PROCLAMATION BY THE MAYOR. By virtue of the authority in me vested by the Re- vised Sfatutes of the State of Missouri, 1879, I, Kdward A. Noonan, Mayor of the City of St. Louls, do hereby order and direct thet Tuesday, Nov. 8, 1892. the day of the general election, being by law a publie holiday, all municipal offices be closed, and that all drinking shops, bars and all other places where intoxicating liquors or drinks are customarily sold, given or dispensed, shail be closed from the hour of 12 o'’elock Monday night, Nov. . 1892, and remain ciesed until the hour of 11 o'clock Tuesday night, Nov. 8, 1892; and Ido hereby forbid ali persons to sell, lend, give or barter, or otherwise dispense or distribute :ntoxicating liquors or drinks during the afore-mentioned period of time, withia the corporate limits of the said city of St. Louis.

Dalton on Musiler’s Labor Record. When Uol. Dick Dalton started outon his speaking tour of the lower portion of the city last evening he carried a big book under his arm, ‘‘What is that, Dick?’’ asked Col, Stone, waiting for him at the Laclede. ‘-That,’’ repiled Farmer Dick, ‘‘is the of- ficial proceedings of the last General Assem- bly, Iitshows up Rudolph Mueller, the can- didate for Lieutenant-Governor on the Republican ticket. It ‘illustrates how he an- tagonized bills drawn in the interest of work- ingmen. That gentleman is now reaching out forthe votes of the working classes and 1 prepose to read right from the offictai record and show how he voted on measures affecting the interests of the working classes.’”’ The record, among other things, shows that sueller voted against the bill to pre- vent corporations from Diacklisting em- ployes. At every place he spoke last night Col. Dalton quoted direct trom the official proceedings and unquestionably heipesd O’Meara withthe working Classes. Considered a Bad Break. Maj. Warner, whoexpects to defeat Col. W. J. Stone for Governor, is trying to ex- plain that he did not inspire the editorial in his Kansas City Grand Army organ, the Grand Army Review, whichis just now creating so much commentin that city. The paper is conidiucted by a member of the G. A. R. named W. W. Davis. In a leading editorial it said among other things: It has been stated that Maj. William Warner cann t be elected in this State without tne aid of the Irish and Jewish vote, but we believe that with his popularity he could carry this State without their aid, and Warnerdoes not need their votes. Ina few days we will know the result. Come out, comrades, and cast your vote for the union ticket and show that we have a majority in this State. This sort of talk from one ofthe Major’s organs will not strengthen his cause among the Irish and Jewish people. Struck Off by Reviser Clark. Lorenzo E, Anderson, of Hammett, Ander- son & \\ade, has a grievance on the subject of registration and revision, He has dis- covered that his name was stricken off by Willis H, Clark, who served as reviser for the Twenty-second Ward, Forthe past seven years Mr. Anderson has lived at 8635 Windsor place, in the Twenty-second Ward, Nr. Anderson declares that the can. vasser never visited his hotise, ‘‘Iif he went there,’’ Mr. Anderson Said, ‘‘he certainly would have found out thatI resided at that number.

Mr. John Caro Russell, cashier of the National Bank of the Republic, whose name headed a list of Democratic national bank officials, opposed to the plank in the National Democratic form, advocating the repeal _ of State bank tax, said yesterddy he was a Democrat and would vote for Cleveland, Stevenson and Stone.

Batcheller toa friend, ‘‘but I cannot see how it will be possible to overcome the nearly 50,000 majority secured by toswell P. Flower only a year ago. At least 25,000 votes will have to be changed, Our losses in 1891 were not in New York and Brooklyn ; we did splendidly there. We were beaten by the failure of the voters in the ag- ricultural districts to goto the polls, even after they had registered. Some were kept away by Democratic money, others were ignorant as to how to cast their ballots under the new-fangled law. They were afraid to ex- pose their tgnorance. Still, others thought Platt would dominate the State if Fassett was elected. At any rate, they did not vote, and instead ofthe 90,000 plurality above the Harlem, which we expected, we had to be contented with a little over 59,000. ‘*]I have never seena more apathetic cam- paign than this during my experience of over thirty years In politics. The meetings upthe State whichI have addressed have been but fairly well attended. The farmers, who were with us to a man last year, did not turn out as they did in 1888. Though the McKinley tar- iff law provided wholesale protection for agricultural products, the farmers com- plain that they have no hDetter market for their goods than they had before the laws went into effect. They were promised $1.20 a bushel for their wheat, they find it difficult to wet 75 cents. They have been able to secure no more for their eggs, butter and cheese than before. Though the Mce- Kinley law sought to prohibit the im- portation of Canadian barley 60 as to encourage American production, the bar- ley raisers this side the border say they have as yet discovered no benefit in this respett. The Oswego maltsters, forinstance, buy Ca- nadian barley in preference to American, high though the price has been fixed be- cause of _ the prohibitive tariff”, I fear we shall have less votes in the Northern tier than we had in 1888. LIloo« for a decrease in my own county of Saratoga. Wehave been unable to con- vince the farmer that he is better off under the McKinley law than heis without it. His smailsalesand small profits wield greater influence with him thanany appeals or ar- guments we could advance. What is true of Saratoga is also true of other agricultural counties I have visited. Many farmers are scared by the force billspecter. They are beginning to be- lieve the Democratic falsehoods that the Re- publican party intends to man the polls with troops and bayonets, toshoot down any one who votes the Democratic ticke:. The farmer loves peace. Hedetestswar. There- fore the simple-minded ones regard the force bill as a threat to their peace and prosperity. There are weak spots allover the state, and while Lam hopeful, still I must confess that Harrison is not as strong here asin 1888, while Cleveland seems to have increased rather than diminished his popularity. ‘*Much as I detest Tammany Hall and its methods, I cannot but wish that wehad a superbly equipped State and city organization, such as it is, If any one is banking on Tammany treachery he is very foolish. Iknow the Re- publican National and State’ Committees are both wora«ing onthe theory that Croker and his Meutenants will be true to Cleveland however much they have been disappointed by his Omination and.

Bold Republican Frauds at Reid’s Own Home. PEEKSKILL, N. Y., Nov. 5.—Senator Charles P, McClellan, Chairman of the West Chester County Democratic Committee, and Attorney David M. Hunt have unearthed a Re- pudlican colonization conspiracy right at the doors of the home of Whitelaw Reid, the G. O. P. candidate for Vice-Pres!i- dent. Several of those concerned are under arrest, and others are about to be placed be- hind the bars. The plot to have their votes counted for the Republican National ticket is belleved to have been frustrated. At any event it will -not be the fault of either Senator McClelland or Lawyer Hunt ifitisnot. On Oct. 20 the first day of regis- tration, Samuel H, Smith and O. J. Whitlock, aclerk in the White Plains law office of ex- Oollector of the Port William H. Robertson, the cause of the Conkling-Garfield split eleven years ago, both Republicans, and C. Cur- tis Bailey, Democrat, were acting as inspectors of registration in the Second ?is- trict of North Salem. Soon after the polls were opened Inspector Smith presented a list of twenty-seven names that they be registered. At the time Inspector Whitlock was conveniently ab- sent, his place being filled by a Kepublican named Jobn Burns. In spite of the Demo- cratic protests the names were placed on the list. Democrats claim there was evidence that all but one were negroes, who came in from Virginia last May to work for Wash- burn, Shaler & Washburn, Republican con- tractors, who are building a section of the Croton reservoir and. dam at Purdys Station. He contended that they had not been residents of the State a year, the time required to entitle them to vote. Chairman McClelland, on hearing of | these circumstances, instituted proceedings 'atonce. Halfadozenof the men were ar- rested on warrants issued by Justice Wililam Skinner charging them with false registration. Inspector Smith was also ar- rested for putting the twenty-seven dis- puted names on the rolis. The prisoners were brought to White Plains Friday night and arraigned before Justice Skinner. Jus- tice Skinner fixed bail for each negro at $1,000. The prisoners were jalied for the night. Early yesterday morning ex-Collector Robertson, chairman of the Kepublican County Committee, hurried to White Plains and demanded the discharge ofallthe prisoners. This was refused. He asked that bail be reduced to $500 each. This was granted. Inspector Smith’s bail was fixed at $1,600. It was furnished and he was released aiso. Meantime the Democratic County Committee procured | orders to show cause why the names of the non-residents should not bestricken from the registry roll. The argument has been set down for Monday morning at 110’clock at the White Plains Court-house. Ex- Collector Robertson appeard to be highly indignant at the treatment of the negroes. ‘*They are all good Republicans and as much entitled to vote aslam,’’ saidhe. ‘‘It seemstome an attempt is making to besmirch Whitelaw Reid, simply because he happens to live here and is a candidate for the Vice-Presidency. The scheme won’t work. These men shall exercise their right of suffrage. They are not in Virginia, but are in New York, where they must and shall be protected.’’ } The Infant Prodigy. From the Nation of May 1, 1890. A veteran entered at my gate With locks as cherry blossoms white; His clothes proclaimed a prosperous fate, His boots were arrogantly bright. The hat was glossy on his head, Gold-rimmed his eye-glass, gold his chain, In genial curves his waistc at spread, And golden-headed was his cane. Without a preface, thus he spoke: ‘*I’ve called to get my annual due;’’ Whereat I, too, the silence broke With ‘*‘Who, respected sir, are you? **What is your claim against me, pray? A many-childed man am I, Hard-pinched my monthly bills to pay, And prices rule perversely high.’’ ‘*‘Not know me? Everybody knows, And gladly gives his mite,’’ quoth he, ‘*Why, I’m a Dabe in swaddling clo’es, lam an Infant Industry.’’ ? ‘‘Forgive me, Reverend Shdpe,’’ I cried, **You set my faith a heavy task; This infancy which seems your pride, Is it your second, may I ask? ‘*‘Or have you, where so many failed, The key tc life’s Elixir found? You 100K like one who never aliled, » In wind and limb sedately sound,’’ ‘*You doubt my word? (Excused these tears, They flow for you and not for me;) Young man for more than seventy years I’ve been an Infant Industry. **your father rued my hapless lot, Lifelong as he handed me his fee Nor ever asked himself for what; He loved an Infant Industry.’’ Quoth I, ‘‘He paid my ransom then : ¥rom further tribute, small or great; ~ Besides, if I can judge of men, Since that you*ve grown to man’s estate. ’’ He murmured as I bowed him out, *-'The world is getting worse and worse; This fellow almost makes me doubt Whether I’ve not been changed at nurse, ‘*But no; this hat, this cane, these boots, ThissuitinLondonmadebyP., , Convince mie to the very roots Iam an Infant Industry.’’ Until he vanished from my sight ‘These words came floating back to me: ‘*Yes, "spite of Time, in Reason’s spite, Lam an Infant Industry !’’ JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL, | or furnace. natty) ; ol 4 ; Na Pn a sy. $2 : “ey Rg EP 28 eee.” Poa ae “4 K} and asked, Corner Broadway and Lucas Av.

The Great’ Scientist so Absent Minded That He Forgot His Wedding. From Lippincott’ s. Louis Pasteur, the great doctor, isa short- built, thick-set man, considerably rounded at the shoulders, with a closely-trimmed gray beard, and habitually wears a pro foundly preoccupied appearance. His sight is very poor,and he walks lamely, being semi.paralyzed on one side, but withal he possesss the traditional politeness of the Frenchman, and never loses higfemper with thearmy of cranks and curio nters who throng his laboratory almost daily. Early in life he strayed away from the beaten track of medicine into the bypaths of chemical ex- ploration, and first made himself Known as an experimenter in molecules. Then he turned his attention successively to silk- worm disease, chicken cholera, and fermentation, allof which were wonderfully elucidated by his researches. He also enriched patmology with a new horror by Giscovering the true cause of splenic apoplexy; not content with which, he has also discovered a means of checking it. His system of inoculation against rabies —upon which his fame will mainly rest—is too well known to need even passing mention here. In 1888 the Pasteur Institute for the treatment of hydrophobia was opened in Paris. Here he treats all who come free of charge, During the last three years he has treated no less than 8,835 Baie bitten by mad dogs, and onl fty-three of his patients have died. is gantic scheme to rid Australia of the piagpe oO rabbits by nf age oe disease among them by inoculation has not been so successful, but he says that some of his most important dis- coveries are yetto be givento the world if his life is prolonged for a few years more. He is a glutton fur work, and after inoculat- ing patients all day experiments upon Prab- bits during the better partofthe night. He is naturally weighed down with decora- tions, and has sat in the chairs of five different learned societies. He is one of the Forty Immortals, being one of the few men of science without special Iiterary claims who have ever been elected to the French Academy. Heis profoundly absent- minded, so much sothat on the day of his marriage a search had 2 be made for him by his bride’s reiatives. e was finally discov- ered in one of the hospitals of Paris, and ane y tnathe had forgotten ail about Ww ng.

oS an Ot Other, ‘‘your enemies in the board will swear that you are going to Chicago to confer with e | the syndicate. ‘ You had: better be careful.’’ This, Mr. Fisse states, struck him so forcibly that he determined to guard ‘against such a danger as far as possible. All the time he was in Chicago, he states, he was careful never to be separated from Mr. Oarl Schraubstadter, his client, in whose interest te Lowest-Priced Credit SO EE RE SE Sc A EOL NOME Alay UN a ae * ” # u ae f * YS Set e. r) iP. “axe 1 Maree se oe Pas Dn Pa -' : re “Av tes: 3 ‘ ety tp bows 4 a gk ee 1 es eae pee war's a | fichool Director Fisse Calls Down VP Ss 3 ap? wit 4 House in St. Louis ~ 4 r * ee ’ ~“ ¢- setae eater esrcccnsennn tii . x : ” naa ae a Pout: r * | __— Several Fellow Directors, A Boodle Story in Which His Gocd Name Is Involved. THE BOARD OF EDUCATION DISTURBED BY TALES OF CORRUPTION. Mr. Fisse Accused of Having Received Money From the Book Trust—His Stormy Scene at the Mercantile Club With ‘Director Rutledge—A Story in Which Rutledge Is Involved—Some Tough Entanglements. When certain directors of the School Board, gome half-dozen in all, arrived at their office yesterday morning and opened their mail, they found the following letter demanding their very earnest attention: St. Louis, Nov. 4, 1892. Mr. —— ——, City: Dear Strn—I have reason to believe that you have stated concerning me, thatin the matter of my vote upon the question of changing the text books in rse im the public schools, I was influenced by corrapt and improper motives, and that I was either bribea oratting as the attorney of the American School Book I therefore demand of you that you publicly, openly and explicitly withdraw and retract all such allegations, or else I shall require from you the reparation that I am eatitied to have. Yours truly, W. E. Fissx. As may-~ be imagined, this rather startling demand, emanating from a brother director in the School Board, caused quite a commo- tion, everi in the always explosive circles of the School Board directory. Coming without any previous warning whatever, ang on the eve of the election of President and other officers of the School Board, which is billed - e place next Tuesday night, it added. a decidedly interesting element to the already interesting personal fight going on in that campaign, and promises, beside, a lively time for Tuesday evening. On that date Mr. Fisse and his fellow-directors, to whom the above letter was sent. will come face to faceinthe School Board Assembly- room. Judging from thetone of Mr. Fisse’s letter, the ‘‘retractions’’ asked for will have to bethen and there forthcoming, or the writer will be at liberty to require from those directors the “‘reparation that he is entitled to have.”’ gthereceiptof Mr, Fisse’s letter; erday morning, some of the School Board Directors, towhom it had been addressed, held an informal conference over the matter. Then a visit to Mr. Fisse’s _ office, No. 417 Pine street, was made for the purpose of hearing in detail the fuil meaning of the curt demand for retraction contained in the letter. At Mr. Fisse’s office the information was given that Mr..Fisse had left for Cincinnati the evening before on business connected With a law sult, in which he had been retained. With that first result of their investigation reachea, the School Board Directors con- cerned inthe matter contented themselves, perforce, with patiently waiting for Tuesday night to come, when they will be enabled to meet Mr. Fisse and arrive at a full under- standing of his communication to them. THE STORY REFERRED TO. The meaning of tne letter is as follows: Mr. Fisse is charged in the story, retraction of which he now demands, with having acted as the agent of the Chicago Text Book syndi- cate, the American School Book Co., which secured the contract for supplying the St. Louis public schools with text-books, and the story hasit that he received from the syndicate $1,000 for his services in aid- ing them ty secure the contract. The story, which Director Fisse claims has been told with much elaboration of detail, places him in such a bad light that in several instances, which he quotes, it has caused even his friends to treat him rather coldiy and to in- timate that an expianation from him was in order. The origin of the story,he explainsto the Sunpay Vost-Dispatcn, dates from the School Board meeting last May, when the text -book and school-supply bids were submitted to the board. It so chanced that Director Fisse himself presented the bia of the Chi- cago Book Publishing Syndicate, anda advocated it before the meeting. Mr. Fisse states that the way this occurred was that the agent of the syndicate, who was in St. Louis at the time, accosted him as he entered the School Board Assembly room, before a Be the meeting opened, and after a short conversation, handea him the syndicate bid, as he might have handed it to any mem-. cs ber of the board whom he chanced to meet first. Mr. Fisse’s advocacy of the syndicate’s bid, was, he states, based upon his belief in its advantages over others offered. But that gdvocacy, following his presentation of the bid,: gave his enemies the opportunity of charging that he was acting as the representative of the syndicate, and from thatstarting pointthe story has _ grown, other facts, Mr. Fisse states, being so handled by his enemies in the board as to be ' made to appear corroborative circumstan- thal evidence inthe premises. One of these - facts was that of certain visits made by Mr. ' ‘Fisse to Chicago since the meeting-night _- “fm question. were necessitated owing to his having been These visits, Mr. Fisse states, ss. But despite this fact it was charged Mr. Fisse went to Chicago, the heaa- _ quartors ofthe text-book syndicate, in his _ gapacity as the School Board representative 1 of that syndicate, That this construction _» ‘was placed upon his Chicago trips first came _ to Mr. Fisse in rather a peculiar way. So a HIS PRECAUTIONS. - @mn one morning before he was to leave for _ @hicago on the night train, he happened to other member of the School Board, to ny She Soare A aha A eer Saerte O, that he had gone to the Windy City. They stopped at the same hotel, they took their meals to gether, they retired at the same hour, they were, in fact, inseparable. Owing to this precaution, Mr. Fisse states, he has a witness to disprove any charges that may be madetothe effectthat he saw any representative of the text book syndli- cate while in Chicago. Nevertheless, he states, the charge is made. The reason why Director Fisse advocated the bid of the text book syndicate, he ex- plains, was that the School Board had taken up the proposed change of text books at a time when only three days remained of the time in which, under School Board rules, such a change could be cofsidered or acted upon. Whatever bid was accepted after that time could go into effect only forthe following scholastic year. The syndicate offered, how- ever, to supply their books forthe current schoolyear atthe prices specified in their bid, and Mr, Fisse advocated it because he believed it thereby offered the most induce- ment to the board. But he states,none of these facts seemed to weigh against the story being circulated about his connection with the syndicate, As an illustration of the effect of this story, Mr. Fisse relates anexperience he had with Mr. John C. Wilkinson. The two were talking over the text-book question, and Mr. Fisse called attention to certain defects in the grammar offered by one of the competing publishing houses. Mr. Wilkinson heard him out and then turned away with the com- ment: **Yes, Iunderstand thatthe syndicate has been very active in calling attention to the defects you mention.’’ After that meeting, also, Mr. Wilkinson was quite cold in his manner toward Director Fisse, a fact which the latter attributes solely tothe story circulated by his enemies that he was the School Board representative of the text-book syndicate, and under its pay. Mr. Fisse also states that Mr. Samuel M. Ken- nard, heretofore one of his warmest friends, bdelleves this story against him, and has been suppliea with facts of circumstantial evidence that causes him to Hstento Mr. Fisse’s explana- tions very frigidly. Mr. Kennard was thrown into rather close connection with the School Board during the text-book bidding, being President of the St. Louis Book Co., which was One of the competing companies. HIS ENCOUNTER WITH RUTLEDGE. But the most decisive development of the story so far, as told by Mr. Fisse, was a lively passage that occurred at the Mercantile Club one day last week at the busy dinner time when the club is crowded with members. It chanced that Director Fisse met Director Ratledge at the club cigar stand, around agroup of gentlemen known te. wo. one another pleas- Bh, and then Director Fisse said to il, Rutledge, that you are clir- Dry about my alleged connec. text-book syndicate. lhear that you have been showing around a list containing the names of men to whom, you charge, the syndyjcete paid money to secure the acceptance of its bid by the school, the total amount al- leged to have been used being given as $10,000. lunderstand that my nameap- pears on that list as having been paid $1,000 by the syndicate. Don’t you think youare getting on rather dangerous ground when you make such a definite charge as that?’’ In answer tothis plain question Mr. Fisse states that he was almost dumbfounded when Mr. Rutledge looked him calmly in the face and asxed: **Can you deny the charge, Mr. Fisse?’’ A hot altercation followed between the two School Directors. which was heard by quite a number of members of the Mercantile Club gathered around them. It was terminated by Mr. Fisse announcingto Mr. Rutledge that the friendly personal § relations that had hegetofore existed between them must cease, in view of Mr. Rut- ledge’s persistent intimations that Mr. Fisse’s influence and vote in the School Board had been bought by the text-book syn- dicate for $1,000. It was afterthis encounter tnat Mr. Fisse realized the grave aspect being assumed by the stories against himself, he States, and he then resolved to bring the mattertoacrisis. His letter is evidently the result of that determination. ANOTHER THREATENED EXPLOSION. But Director Fisse is not alone in his troubles arising from stories that precede the School Board election. School Director Rut- ledge has also been having a stormy time during the past week, which, as in Mr. Fisse’s case, promises,.to result in an early ex- plosion. Mr. Rutledge’s particular troubles, in this instance, have come quite distinct from his trouble with Mr. Fisse, although, like the latter, it has its origin in the 0ODitterness evolved by the fight for the Presidency. While Mr. Fisse is a warm follower of Director Hickman for President, Mr. Rutledge is one of the most pronounced supporters of Gist Blair. By his enemies inthe board Mr. Rutledge is char- acterized as School Director W. H. McClain’s ‘*Man Friday,’’ and as Mr. McClain is said to be supporting Gist Blair for Rgesident on the promise of thechairmanshi!ip oMhe Teachers Committee, which he especially covets, Rutledge’s'support of Blair, the Hickman- ites assert, follows as amatter of course. The ‘*confederacy’’ between Directors McClain and Rutledge, it is claimed, day-school Superintendent’s Union, of which, it is stateu, both are origniates with their connection in the Sun- prominent members. These facts are only preliminary tothe recitalof sir. Rutledge’s troubles. It was Mr. Rutledge who charged at last week’s meeting ofthe School Board that in certain ee work done on various schools by the painting firm of James J. mins gp, 3 & Co., only one coat of paint ad been put on and that this work had been passed on and paid for despite its unsatisfactory nature. The Post-DISPATCH gave certain reported de- tails of this charge,and Mr. Rutledge was credited with having supplied the informa- tion on which the publicationinthis paper was made, Mr. Rutledge states that in con- sequence threats against him have been made indicating that a mud-throwing contest is about to be engaged in by the Hickmanites, of which he {s to be the object. He statesthat on the day follow- ing the publication certain interested School Board parties saw certain friends of his and Stated that they had evidence against Mr. Rutledge of facts that did not tally with his attitude as a reformer, and that these facts would be duly brought out. He says alsothat he received a visit from Mr. Andrew J.Biong of the firm of Jas. J. Dowling & Co., who boidly threatened to have him in- dicted by the Grand-jury, presumably for his charges as to the painting work done by that firm, asin connection witha story charging certain facts against Mr. Rutledge in his of- ficial capacity as a School Director. The story about Mr. Rutledge also relates to a painting job. CHARGED WITH RECEIVING COMMISSIONS. It is charged in fact that Mr. Rutled has been guilty of receiving a commission from a inter to whom he gave work to be done in @ schools in his school district.

After the bill for $5,773 from Phillips & Kelly was in and paid, that firm also putina bill for extra*work, amounting to $1,500, which will bring the total up to $7,200. Another point to which Director Fisse calls attention is that of the Income to be derived from the new Board of Education building, which represents an investment of over $600, - 000. He states that at the outset the esti- mated income from rents of stores, etc., was placed at 40,000, which should not have been unlikely, being interest on the investment at the rate of about 6 per cent per annum. Mr, Fisse says now, however, the income has dwindled down toan actual $12,000 per annum, The firm of Janis, Saunders & Co. has a six-year lease on the basement and three floors of the building at a rental of $1,000 per month. This takes in all the rentable space of the building as the School Board rooms, library, etc., occupy all the other upper floors. A yearly ineome of $12,000, Mr. Fisse states, will barely pay the expenses of the building, so that instead of having a good return on its $600,000 investment, the board finds itself worse off than it was in the old Polytechnic Building. ° THE IAMS CASE.

FRIDAY NIGHT’S SECRET MEETING. On Friday night last a secret meeting of the Blair faction of the School Board presi- dency Tight was held at the St. Louis Club. The sensation of the meeting was the secession of School Director ‘‘Jack’’ Shee- han from the Hickman forces. and his alll- ance with the followers of Gist Blair. Di- rector Sheehan was present atthe St. Louis Club meeting, which was conducted with the greatest attempts at secrecy, and he pledged himself to support Blair for President, Asa resultofthat meeting the Blair element now claim the following pledged votes: Directors Brockman, Huttig, Holthaus, Hequemburg, Blair, Rutledge, Troll, McUlain, Spinning Bartholdtand Sheehan. This gives a total of eleven votes for Blair, enough to elect, but in addition tothe above the Blair people also claim that Directors Brady, Collins and O’Connell will vote for Blair, giving a total of 14 votes. Tne votes of the three last- named are also claimed for Hickman, but the Blairites state that they are assured of their being cast for their candidate, In addition they claim that President Bartholdt stili de- clines to be a candidate for re-election, and that on Tuesday night the contest will be between Blair and Hickman only, and a ‘*walk-over’’ for Blair will result. CHARGES OF BAD MANAGEMENT. Director Fisse is inclined to ‘‘carry the war into Africa,’’ and he criticises certain School Board happenings of recent dates in a man- ner that again adds interest to the factional division impending on the Presidency fight. There is one especially sig- nificant point regarding work done fa the Board of Education Bullding, to which Director Fisse calls attention. He states that when the contract for thea namos, or machines, and elevtric wiring of the buildin were to be letit was ey understood tha bids for both were ordinance under which the buildi THe Peerless Knabe pianos soid by J. A Kieselhorst, 1000 Olive street. Union Depot Fermit. Adams & Chandler, the contractors and builders ofthe new Union Depot, made ap- plication yesterday for a permit from the Building Commissioner. They placed the cost of the building at $500,000. Commissioner Reed has informed the company that the is to be constructed calls for an $800, ullding. Under the advice of the City Counselor, the Building Commissioner says he wili not issue the permit until the proper figures are in- serted in the application.

Fa River, Mass., Nov. 2.—The Grand- ry wili this week take up the case of Lizzie en and sift the evidence gathered by the } against her as the slayer of ber father and determine if it is strang @nough to warrant her indictment for the erime,. Since the commitment of Miss FRor- 7* awe by the preliminary trial court very Mitie . bes come out that was not made public then of consequence for or 2d peatland @ecused woman, One statement only 1¢. werth the mention, that made by a aawyer of Providence, R.1., that Lizzie called him to ascertain the effect the death of her step-mother prior to that of her father growid have upon tne disposition of his prop- erty. This lawyer, itis said, will be a wil- mess before the Grand-jury. A Boston paper recently printed what pur- ported to be disclosures of-a detective employed in the case, which were very sen- gational and strongly against Lizzie Borden, but it has been shown that the journal was imposed u and no credence is given the ae it published. “fhe detectives agree that this crime pre- features which baffie their skill. Here sofar asthe public can be ac- th it: ° ug.4Mr, Borden goes down towna fter 9 o’ clock to look atter his business. It must have es o'clock. Pack stairsto his locked bedroom and stays afew minutes. Then he returns and lies down upon the lounge in the sitting-room to read his papers, asis his wont. About 11:10 o’clock Lizzie Borden, standing at the foot of the back stairs, cries to Bridget Sullivan, the servant girl, who is on the floor ahove, to xo for a doctor for somebody has killed her father. So then the alarm being given the neigh- bors come in and find Mr. Borden lying dead on the lounge with his head dreadfully cut and mutilated, and aftera while they find the body of Mrs. Bordeninthe guest cbhan- ber upstairs stili more disfigured. At the beginning we are confronted by Gone papblems new in murder mysteries. here is the motive for such terrible crimes? It is not robbery; nothingin the house was disturbed ; Mr. Borden’s pockets, contalaing $78 in cash and his watch, were not rifled. It was not revenge. This old man, though g0 careful of his money, was inths main just nhis dealings and always courteous. He ad no enemies. There is also this other odd ct. Ifthe murderer cared only to produce death, why so many blows: There were eighteen cuts on Mrs. Borden’s head and ten on Mr. Borden’s. Blows had been rained upon them long after itwas necessary to insure their death. No one but a maniac would do that. The poiice come and take note ofthese facts, the position of the bodies, the house and its surroundings. The house stands in the middle of the block. Ononesideis a house twenty feetaway. On tite other ts a house twenty-five feet away. Both have windows commanding the Borden house and rounds. Attherearthere isthe Darn and the yard surrounded by the gix-foot board nen one whose top is guarded by arow of barbed wire, This yard isin length half the distance between “Second street and Third street immediately in its rear. The rest of the space is occupied by the house and lot of Dr. Chagnon, fronting on Third street. PUZZLING FACTS TO RECONCILE. These are the surroundings. Who was in “the house when the murders occurred? mma Borden is visiting friends at the sea- shore and has been there several days. John V. Morse, the quaint old hard-headed Yan- kee uncle, easily shows that he left the house early that morning and did not return until almost noon, This leaves as the living inmates of the household only Lizzie Borden and Bridget Sullivan, the servant girl. _. This Bridget is a plain, honest-faced, not Over-intelligent-looking Irish girl. Most of the morning she had spent in washing the windows inside and out down-stairs. She heard nothing unusual going on, no screams or cries or the sound of a body falling, Liz- gie says she heard nothing and saw nothing. The neighbors around say that they saw pothing and heard nothing. The lice look through the house, the the yardand the adjoining yards and barns, but find no trace of the assassin. Gradually the hard terms of this problem resolve themselves into this—that either some maniac managed tosteal into the house unseen tocommitthe murders unheard and ta slip away and disappear undetected or the criminal is a member of the household. But here the hard facts begin t@ assail us. ow did the maniac getin? There were but se three entrancesto the house. Hecould have come in at the front door—that was : barred and boited.

As Mr. Borden enters the house Lizzie comes down stairs and a moment or two later speaks to Bridget again about going out, and reports a wonderful bargain sale going on at a dry goods store down town. But Bridget has been feeling ill—the whole family bas been sick for the last twenty-four hours—and soar goes up stairs and lies dowa upon her ed. Now Lizzie 1s left alone with her father and nothing more ts heard until fifteen or twenty minutes later when Ligzle gives the alarm. Where was she inthe meantime? That isa pointon whitch this story hangs. What was she doing when her father was butchered on the lounge there? Mrs. Churchill, the first person outside the household to reach the place, asks her this question and she says she was inthe barn. LIZZIE’S CONFLICTING STORIES. ‘*‘What did you gotothe barn for?’’ **To get a plece of fron.’’ Miss Russell, her bosom friend, comes next and asks her the same question, and Lizzie Says she was in the barn. ‘*what did you go te the barn for?’’ ‘*To geta piece of tin to fix my window screen with.’’ The police come later in the day and ask her the Same question,and she says again she was in the barn. ‘*What did rou gotothe barn for?’’ ‘*To get a piece oflead for a sinker to go fishing with.’’ How can these answers be reconciled? And later I understand she told the detective whom she employed on the case for a purpose not yet made sufficiently clear, that she went to the barn fora purpose entirely different from any of these. First she says she wasintbe barn half an hour, then she says twenty minutes to nNalf an hour, then she says exactly twenty minutes, and will not admit that she may be in error, and then she says fifteen or twenty minutes. These are the facts that forcethe suspli- cions of the police upon*her, and four days after the murder they are ready toarrest her, when a new figure comes intothe play. This isacold, dispassionate, slow pulsed man, experienced for fifteen years in tracking and prosecuting criminals—Hosea Knowlton, Dis- trict Attorney ofthe county. He co.nes to Fall River onthe Monday fol- lowing the murders and rejects the idea that Lizzie Borden could by any possibility be concerned in the case. Helinststs upon going on with the inquest, which under the Massa- chusetts laws ts secret. Ligzie Borden is summoned and he gives hera chance ,to ex- plainthe circumstances that bear heavily aginst her. She tangles herself in new complications and coutradictions. First she says she !s up- stairs when her father came home, then: she says she wus on the stairs, thenshe says she was in the kitchen, not upstairs at all, and to that she sticks. Yet she stayed there, shetells Mr. Knowl- ton, fifteénor twenty minutes. Other questions she will not answer at all or answers shiftily. Were her relations with her stepmother cordial? ‘‘That depends upon what you call cordialtty,’’ said Lizzie. Her attitude during the whole examina- tion appears unfortunately to be that of a person who is trying to ob- struct not facilitate the gathering of informa- tion. Varlous strange facts remain unex- plained. Mrs. Borden weighed more than 200 pounds and fell, when she was struck, with such force that her face and shoulders were bruised against the floor. Yet Lizzie in the next room heard nothing. The door of the guest chamber stood open, and to one going down the stairs her body was plainly visible. Yet Lizzie, ascending the Stairs a few minutes later, saw nothing. On all these grounds, going back as far as the locked front door and the young woman on Dr. Chagron’s porch, Mr. Knowlton makes up his mina, assumes the whole re- sponsibility, and orders Lizzie’s arrest. This evidence against herisall that he has seen fit thus far to make public. LIZZIE’S LACK OF EMOTION. Here is a pofnt that has told strongly against Lizzie Borden in the mind of tue public: What would any other woman have done coming suddenly into a room where her father lay deadandawfully butchered? Fallen in a faint or ran screaming and frenzied with terror from the house. Lizzie proceeds to the back stairway and calls to Bridget to go fora doctor. When the nefighbors come in she is composed. Mrs. Bowen can hardly drag herself home after a gliimpse of the dreadful sight. Lizzte ig not particularly disturbed. The police come and ask her ail untilshe tells them flatly she its tired of answering questions. She is ready for the reporters and to all their queries she says curtly that she has nothing tosay. In public it ig the same. When she isar- rested itis the saute, Atthe examination it isthesame. Atthe dreadful descriptions of the bodies there are griefand sensibiltty tn Emma’s face, butonly thecalm stolidity tn Lizgzie’s. She even laughs at a suggestion about her stepmother’s bulk. Held forthe action of the Grand-jury, she stands upand takes her fate without a tremor and faces unflinchingly two monthsin a prison cell and the ordeal of a trial.

THE PROSPECTIVE BRIDE I8 A GRAND- DAUGHTER OF QUEEN VICTORIA. She Is Also a Niece of ths Czar of Rus- sia— The Former Love Affair of the Future Ruler With Mile. Vacaresco, Protege of Carmen Sylva, and Its Un- happy Ending. BERLIN, Nov. 5.—Theapproaching wed- ding of Prince Ferdinand of Roumania to Princess Marie of Edinburg, recalls the event which so deeply stirred the people “over whom Ferdinand expects some day torule. Prince Ferdinand’s love affairs have been beforethe world more than those of any other princeling of Europe. He Is heir to the throne now occupied by King Chries, his un- cle, anda Hohenzollern. His infatuation for Mlle. Vacaresco threatened at one time to cause the abdication of the King, and break- ing of the match almost broke the heart of Queen Carmen Sylva. Roumanta chose a foreign dynasty in order toset at rest the rivalry that exists be- tween royal Roumanian families, and the Ministers were all opposed to the marriage of Ferdinand to Vacaresco, because it would oo Ferdinand of Roumania. arouse all the old feuds. Vacaresco was the Queen’s maid of honorandin Carmen Sylva she founda strong friend ofthe match. The more the impression got abroad that the Crown Prince was in danger of being trapped by the Queen’s favorite, the louder became the grumbling aroundthecourt of Bucharest. The Queen, to be sure, partly persuaded her husband that the marriage was possible, but he treated the matter rather gingerly at best, ang when the storm of general in- Cignation broke he had no heart to aefena a match that “gree had been against his better judgment. Anelement in precipitat- ing this storm wasa photograph of Carmen Sylva, Mlle. Vacaresco and Prince Ferdinand, King Charles, fortunately for his crown, was notinit. The Queen was represented in this photograph as sitting ona low chair and re- garding with rapt attention Apollo and the Muses. At her feet are shown the Prince and Mile. Helene looking unutterable things into each other’s eyes. Although but six coples of this photograph were made the Cabinet got wind of their existence and there was stormy weather around the palace at Bucharest. The King talked with the Crown Prince, found him = deter- mined to marry Mlle. Helene and so con- sented reluctantly to lay the matter before the Ministerial Council on the next day. Hardly had the Crown Prince gone when Gen. Lahovary, Minister of War, arrived. As Marie of Edinburgh, he spoke with the King Carmen Sylva broke in upon them ina high state*of excitement and told the Generalthe whole story of the match. The General said the match was im- possible, A scene followed involving the Minister, King, Queen and the young couple, and Carmen Sylvain a passion dils- missed the General with the words: ‘‘ITam Queen and the opposition of two dozen Ministers will not keep me from ac- complishing what I think best.’’ The General went, andonthe next day at the Ministerial Council told all about his sorry experience at the palace. The minis- ters gave the Kinga lecture on the evils of petticoat government, and unanimously pro- nounced the match impossible. When Car- men Sylva heard their verdict she fainted, She was taken to bed, ill and crying, and has never recovered from the Shock. Crown Prince Ferdinand was stiff-necked, and said he would doas he pleased. But he was soon cured of his passion and paying court to other ladies falr.. Princess Marie is the granddanghter orf Queen Victoria and the niece of Alexander of Kussia. Her mother is the Czar’s sister, Russia looks with much favor on the match, as it is thought it will strengthen the Czar’s hand in Roumania. Ferdinand isa ‘atholic, but Marie isa Protestant. The dispensation trom the Pope ts necessary to enable Ferdal- nana to wed the Princess. She law ofthe Catholic Church is that a marriage between a baptized and unbaptized person is invalid, but one between a Catholic anda person of another communion, as a Protestant, is valid. In the latter case, how- ever, unless a dispensation has been obtained from the Pope or his delegate, the marriage is unlawful. Pope Benedict XIV. declared that the Cath- olic Church has permitted mixed marriages for very grave reasons and generally tin the case of royal personages, but even then on condition that the Catholic party be free to ractice his or her religion and that a prom- se be given that the children of either sex be brought up Catholics. Increasing intercourse between Catholics and Protestants made such marriaves far more frequent and the conditions insisted on by Benedict XIV, were neglected, In Silesia a law of State in 1803 required the children of mixed marriages to be brought up in the re- ligion of the father. In England, till very recent times, there was a common arrangement by wh ch the boys were brought up in the father’s, and the girls in the mother’s religion, and neither in Silesia nor in England did the Catholic clergy, as a rule, oppose this state of things. ‘HUMAN VAMPIRE.

NOT A “DESERTED WIFE.” The Woman Who Caught Young Barcenas a Noted Adventuress. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Nov. 5.—It now turns out that the ‘‘deserted wife,’’ who caused the arrest of young Camillo Barcenas in New York on Monday, as he was about to return to Nicaragua with his sister,the ‘‘pretty four months’ bride of Senor Barcenas and sister- in-law of Lew Dockstader, the minstrel,’’ who was about to be her husband,’’ is said now to be the notorious Cora M. Brown, the no less notorious Cora Thurner, the friend of young men about town and the accomplished female detective who caused such a sensation in the famous divorce proceedings between Millionaire Mc- Comb of Willmington,and his wife. Cora M. Brown hatls from Parkersburg, a thrifty little hamlet in Chester County, and her age varies, among those who know her, from 25 to 30 years. Sheis tall and willowy, has big brown eyes and short chestnut hair, and is accomplished and fascinating adven- turess. Ever since she left her pretty little country home nine years agoshe has ied an adventurous career in this city and has num- bered her admirers by the _ score. Her latest speculation, however, appears to pave been her weakest, and while she plotted and used all her powers of fascination to en- snare a silly boy of nineteen, she has suc- ceeded in getting little ready cash out of him, for his allowance has not exceeded $60 per month, while her prospects of bleeding his father are rather slim, as Henry C, Potter, Consul for Nicaragua, said yesterday that the elder Barcenas is far from rich, and he, .r. Potter, did not intend to exert himself to extricate the yGung fellow from Cora’s web, In the neatly furnished room in Walnut street, where Cora last lived with young Barcenas, is a large photograph of the hero- ine, which shows where ber power of fascina- tion lies. The fluffy hair, the large, search- ing yet innocent-looking eyes, the delicate contour of the face and the firm-set mouth, show how she has beenable to captivate so long. Tothese are added natural aptitude andafair education. By those who knew her in her girlhood days it is sgaid she was precociously wayward and began when quite young by making serious charges against a saloon-Keeper in her native village. Nine years ago she left her home, and, itis said, was neither seen nor heard of for six months. One day her little brother dled, when, unknown exceptto a few, she sud- denly appeared at the funeral, dressed in deep biack, and immediately after the funeral qauain disappeared. At Intervals in the years that followed, however, she fre- quently visited her home, and, in the lan- uage of an old resident of Parkeshurg, ‘used to scare the country girls with her fine clothes and her high-heeled shves.’’ fler life here was full of vicissitudes, but for at least seven years past she has been re- garded as one of the slickest feniale detectives in the business. Inthe mean time the names of Cory Thurner and Cora Brown have been as famillar to fast young menas they were later made notorious, The nameof Thurner was assumed vy her on account of her al.- leged relations with a theatrical manager of that name several years ago. lt was under the name of Thurner that she engaged in her most famous,and at the same time most notorious expiott, that of female detective for Millionaire McComb of Wilming. ton, to procure evidence against his wife. in this case she displayed wonderful genius, but was finally tripped up by another female de- tective and her own carelessness. When she went to work on this case she had a most difficult task before her—to gain the friendship of a strange and suspicious woman, and humor the fancies of one who eee far tb thecaprices of a woman to an em- nent degree. With rare judgment sie‘ at once decidéd to accomplish her object through a dressmaker, and with that end in view she began to invest Millionaire Mc- Comb’s éash in dresses, which she employed Mrs. McComb’s dressmaker to makeup, It is said that day after uay she came to Philadel. phia and purchased silks and velvets and cloths until she had so much work for Mrs. McComb’s dressmaker that she spent most of her time at the dressmaker’s house. In a short time she met Mrs. McComb, through the medium of the dressmaker, and in less than no time she and Mrs. McComb were bosom friends, and in the role of the wife of an absent theatrical manager she had her trunks and her new dresses cumfortably stowed away in a cosy room of Mrs. McComb’s house. The charming Cora and Mrs. McComb becume inseparable, and every now and then the ‘‘absent theatrical manager’s wife,’’ who *‘had the entree of the theaters,’3 would bring her dear friend, Mrs@ McComb, up to Philadelphia and take Rertothe theater on tickets bought by Mr, eComb, Things wenton this way for quite a while and the fascinating Cora lived inclover. But Mora’s little game went all to pieces in an hour, Forsome time Mrs. McComb's counsel had suspected Cora, and, through informa- tion obiained in Philadelphia, decided to put another female detective on Cora. This sec- ond interesting young woman, who went by the euphonious name of ‘‘Gyp,’' also went to work through the dressmaker, and in that way, Without aroustng Cora’s suspicions, was introduced intothe McComb houschold, There had been mysterious firings of revolvers Outside the house and window- panes had been shattered by cartridges fired by some unkown person, One day Cora went out alone and left her trunk unlocked. ‘“‘Gyp’’ lostnotimein searching the trunk, and there beheld the evidence of Cora’s guilt. Letters of instruction trom her employers were laid bare, alongside of a revolver with five chambers discharged and various ais- guises, including a natty boy’s sailor suit.

His Remarkable Career as Soldier, Revo- lutionist end Etatesman—His Part in the War Which Led to the Crowning of Maximillian~Laws Charged to En: able Hinf to Retain Power. City OF MEXICcCo, Nov. 5.—The ceremonies attending the inauguration of President Porfirio Diaz for the fourth timeas Chief Magistrate of the Mexican Republic are in progress. This is aiways a fete day at the Capital and attended with much pomp end display. Diaz has a4 strong grasp on the country and his first advent into power was in 1877, and he has defied all efforts of the revolutionary spirits, of which the country is so produc: tive, to pull him down or even change his policy. The President of Mexico is quite well known in the United States. For many years past Gen. Porfirio Diaz hasbeen the foremost citizen of Mexico. His popularsity at home and the fame he enjoys abroad have made his name familiarinthe United States as the Regenerator of a country which by its wonderful natural resources ig entitled toa high place among the family of nations. Anyone acquainted with the condition of Mexico fifteen years ago and with the present state of affairs cannot but acknowledge the great progress achieved by Mexico during the intervening years and give credit to Presl- dent Diag, above all others, for the estab- lishment and maintenance of that peace and order which has enabled the country to reach its present state of prosperity. Gen. Diaz is regarded by his countrymen as the best President that Mexico has ever had, When, in 1887, he assumed the Govy- ernment for the first time, the country was bankrupt, mining and ag- riculture were almost paralyzed; revolutions and disorders, jeopardizing the lives and property of peaceful citizens, were of fre- quent occurrence;in 4 word, all was chaos and confusion. He started by applying ener- getic remedies to all these evils, punishing the promoters of revolutions wherever they appeared,and in a few years succeeded in completely crushing the lawless spirit in Mexico. Oncethis accomplished he turned his attention to the economical and commer- cial interests of his country. The career of President Diaz is remarkable. He is now past 60 years ofage. At the age of 18, after securing a common school educa- tion, he began the study of law, but when almost ready to be admitted to the bar, en. listed in the National Guard of Oaxaca, and went the front to oppose the tyrannical Gov- ernment of the Dictator, Santa Anna. From the beginning his military record was spot- less. To this he added a series of very lueky and successful _ vic- tories against the enemies of the liberty and integrity of his country. - During the war with France, which led to the crowning of Maximilian of Austria as Emperor of Mexico, he distinguished himself and beeame one of the leading generals of the Republican army and the most respected by the soldiers of Napoleon III, Whenthe Republic was restored he retired to private life in his country residence of ‘*La Noria,’’ near the city of Oaxaca, refusing all the honors which the Government of Ju- arez was anxious to confer upon him, Nevertheless, during his retirement his name was twice brought before the Mexican people as a Presidential candidate, but was defeated both times by Juarez and by Lerdo de Tejada. In 1877 the people, who longed to reward the man who had dope more than anybody else tocrush the empire of Maximillian, elected Gen. Diaz President by a big majority; but after some juggling of votes he was deprived of the trust conferred on him by the people, and Lerdo de lejada was deciared re-elected by the partisan Mexican Congress then assembled. This led to a popular revo- lution, which, proving successful, placed Gen. Diazin the Presivential chair. Up to that time he was Known as a successful soldier. Nobody dreamed that he should de- veiop into a statesman of the modern type. Such proved to be thecase. ‘ihe energy and executiveability Which he displayed during his first presidential term reflect. much credit upon him as a Statesman and a patriot. n 1880 he retired to private life to give way to his successor, Gen. Manuel Gonzales. He did not remain a private citizen very long, as a year after he left the Presidency his native State of Oakaca unanimously elected him Governor, which office he held until called again by the peopleto serve a second Presi- dentialterm, from ‘84to’ss. The Constitu- tion of Mexico prohibited the jmmediate re- election to the Presidency, but the Mexican Congress in 1887, thinking the continuance of President Diaz in power almost a necessity, repealed thut clause, and permitted him to hold a second consecutive term. ‘*Diaz came near getting involved in seri. ous trouble with the United States in an effort to punish the editor, Cutting, who had published at El Paso charges aguainst him. But seeing that he had gone too far, he had the shrewdness to re- tire gracefully. He also found a vexatious problem in the management of the question that arose from the introduction of vast for- eign capital for the building of rallroads founded largely on grants of subsidies, an exciting a good deal of native jealousy. These difficulties he overcame with skill, and appears to have secured himself thus far against serious opposition, Gen. Diaz entertains his guests royally at his town house or at his Castile at Chapul- tepec, and is surrounded with many curious works of artin his tasteful home. He hasa grown son and daughter by his first wife. His present wife is a beautiful and accom- plished Woman, who epeeks English, French and Spanish with equal fluency. The story of her meeting with and mar- riage to her husband is something of a romance, Her father, Senor Rubio, was an ardent supporter of ex-President Lerdu. During the fight between Lerdo and Diaz Rubio and the latter were bitterly opposed, They afterward met at a ball In the American Legation and were brouzht together by Min- ister Foster and his wife. It was only a so- clal introduction, but was the startin point of a sincere friendship, during whieh and the beautiful daughter of Rubio saw much of each other and a marriage resulted. Thus was accomplisied the rapprochement in politics of two men who were traditional fogs and algo the connection of their families through matrimony. Mme. Diaz is remark- able alike for her beauty and her sweetness of disposition. Around her cluster all the humanizing influences of Mexican 580. clety. She is devbted to religion and bestows frequent and costly gifts upon the church, It is needless to add that she is looked upon with extreme favor by the clert. cals. Her husband and his ministers, whose families are also in touch with the church, tacitly assent tothe course taken by their relatives in the matter Of reliaion. These men are themselves entrenched within a permanent barrier of indifference to the church, While they remain Catholi ae he the faithful ses without Archbishop that Mattias Ror 0 ba to ; .

Mr. Mooreis an English- man and does his nefarious work at long range, which is worse forthe victims and the evidence of a long head on the shoulders of Mr. Moore. Exactly how he goes about it is manifested by documents submitted by Mr. Pilson of Yonkers, Mr. Moore purports to bea philanthropic gentleman, whose chief delight it is to re- cover large English estates and hand them over to the poor and lawfu! heirs in America, His place of business in London Is No. 5 In- gersoll road, Shepherd's Bush. There is something honest, trustful and inviting in the card of a man who does business at Shep- herd’s Bush. Mr. Moore furthermore uses impressive etatinaeey and surrounds himself with a glamour that is dazzling to the simple people with whom he usually treats. So you see Mr. Moore prepared for business. His first step is to advertisd ola claims, most of them outlawed, in American newspapers. He finds that Yonkers isa manufacturing place, where, perhaps, twothirds of the factory help ar@ trom ‘tthe other side.’’ Therefore he selects Yonkers as his natural territory. Then the mill begins to work, It comes under the notice of Mr. G. W. Pil- son that the so-calied ‘‘Conway-Pilson in- heritance’’ is fairly aching to enrich the rightful American claimants. Mr, Pilson seesno good and sufficient reason why he should not *‘come into his own,’’ as it were, and he opens upa correspondence with Mr, Moore on the subject, That good man {is de- lighted. His heart fairly leaps at the pros- oe of helping his fellow-man. Accordingly ; 0 tte down and dictates this benevolent etter: WILLIAM LORD Moors, 5 INGERSOLL ROAD, SHEPHERD’S BUSH, LONDON, ENGLAND. April ¥, 1892, Mr. Geo. Pilson: DEAR Str: In view of your statements ana inves- tigation made ofthis estate (wortha vast amount), I will take your claim for $6 ofevery $1,000 gained atafair valuation. In every case the law demands that a bond be provided to secure costs by a person owning property where the suit is brought. You, and no other, bave to procure this bond. 1 can get a bondgman to serve you and take all risks for £8 (or $40). You will be obliged by lawto begin at” once, as you have had notice of your rights. Send the $40 or £8 to me by registered letter while I ger everything ready to proceed immediate!y. Sign oth of the inclos agreements. Keep one and re- turn the other to me. Let no one know of your good fortune or bogus claimants will surely appear and your rights willbe delayed until their claims have veen heard. If not convenient to send the whole $40 at once send half and I shall feel justifiea in proceeding without delay, that we mavgainit by July. Yours truiv, Wa. LorD MOORE. P.8.—If you wishto know more about me don't delay to write to others, but write tomedirect, I can furnish the very highest references. Always inclose stamps for reply. The agreement of which the philanthropist spoke was a printed circular, reading as fol- lows: It is hereby stipulated that William Lord Moore shall take noinstructions fromany person but the undersigned, nor heed any statements or repre- sentations made by ofners; said W. L. Moore being the agent and proceeding solely under the instruc- tions and representations of the undersigned, who will notemploy any other person but the said W. L. Moorein connection with the claim to Conway- Pilson inheritance (or consult any other) for one year from Jan. 1, 1892. Please sign there (oe and give your address. (| It will be admitted that to the suspicious mind there were several things in hofh let- ter and circular that Iinvi‘ed careful con sideration, evidently the stipulation not to ‘*consult any other,’’ nor ‘‘heed any state- ments made by others,’’ to procure testimo- nials only from Moore himself and to send over $40 ‘*forabond.’’ kKvidently Mr. Pilson sat down to think it over, fora month later, on May 38, the British philanthropist wrote again: Mr. Geo. Pilson: DEAR SIR—AslItold you, every person when he begins a suiton this side of the Atlautic has to give Yond beforehand that the costs shall be pajd if he should lose his case. and that bong must be secured by real estate here. I suppuse you own no real estate here. Finding you would gain six month:’ time by beginning at once, I persuaded a friend to become security, and made the bond (he taking all risks) ou my paying him the money and assuring him that the case could not be lost. He was further assured by knowing that 1 undertook all other ex- enses. Butas I couldn’t tle papers showing you pad furnished the bond, a motion has been filed to dismiss he case for unlawful bond. I can put off the hearing of the motion, however, until I hear from you, ifitis nottoo long. Please send the money at once and oblige. Yours truly, WILLIAM LORD MOORE. Things began to look dark for the rightful heir, Mr. Moore had secured, with infinite trouble, a bond for an entire stranger. Phil- anthropy could hardly do more. Buc justat th's time the clouds came upand all looked cr,tical for a paltry matter of $40. What steps were taken inthis dreadful emergency are known only to Mr. Moore and Mr. Pilson, but the next linkin the chain of evidence Is the third and last letter, dated July 2: Mr. G. Pilaon: DEAR S1rR: I have the pisasure of informing you that your claim isgained. The Court will a'low from thirty to ninety days to elapse before notifying you, in order to allow any other person who may wish to elaim the property todo so, but after that time they will be forever barred. So as you will be notified by the court some time after thirty days that your claim is gained, I would adyise you not to be absent from home for any lengthy period during the next ninet days. As soon as you are fn possession } will cond in my bill. Looking after this claim has used me up and I shali take a resi for a month or six weeks at a healt) resort, so it will be useless for you to write unless you get a letter from me, The pre erty gained is worth about two millions, Yours truly, WILLIAM LORD Moons. And of course that was the lastof Mr, Moore as farasany business relations with Mr. Pilson were concerned, As Mr. Pilson never received any letters from his benefac.- tors at a ‘‘health resort’’ it Is presumed that the entire correspondence languished. When * man has just secured $2,000,000 fora client 1eisentitied to a rest, and doubtless Mr, Pilson and the friends who congratulated him on his good luck were perfectly wiiling to grant it, It may be interesting and pertinent to this story to say in conclusion that Mr. Pilson is at present pursuing his ordinary duties in Yonkers, undiggurbed bv a notification from the court an@unspoiled by the dazzling ac- quisition of $2,000,000, QUARRELING ABOUT THE COST. Trouble in Setiling Accounts for the New Yorz Pageant. New YorK, Nov. 5.—Thomas J. Brown, the Chairman of the Night Pageant Committee of the Columbian celebration, has presenteda réport to the Executive Committee, advising that Alfred Thompson’s bill for getting up the pageant be not paid. Capt. Thompson agreed to furnish the whole parade and have it ready to start at8 o’clock on the chosen evening. He was to receive $9,000 by Aug. 15 and $11,500 after the celebra- tion. The whole thing was to cost $20,500 and thatisthe amount of the Dill. Capt. Thompson received his $9,000 about the mi:l- dle of September. Mr. Browns’ recommen da- tion Is to withnold the $11,500 unpaid. The report complains that Oapt.

DELICATE SURGERY. A Girl’s Brain Explored for a Missing Bullet. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Nov. 5.—A rare but une successful operation has been performed at the Medico-Chirurgical College on Miss Liasie Albert, the beautiful victim of the jealous wrath of Daniel Love, son ofa New York stock broker, : Miss Albert, who fs 22 years of age, lives at Caladensis, Monroe County, Pa., and was em- ployed as a waitress ina summer hote] at Delaware, Warren County, WN.

Becom- ng angry because he could not mo- nopolize the young woman’s time, Love threatened her and was repulsed, Securing a revolver, the young man shot her in the forehead while she was working in the Kitch- enand, rushing from the house, made escape. , Physicians probed for the ball, but without success. For two weeks the girl remained unconscious, hovering between life and death. At last she was nursed back to @ com paratively robust condition, But it was found that she was deprived of all her former senses, except that or sight, and had con- stant pain In the back of her head. these symptoms It was supposed the ball passed along under the brain and Decome encysted at the back of the skul!.

NOONAN’S ARRIVAL.: As Mr. Kern sat down, a hundred young fellows with red faces and lively tongues, who had been standing outside, rushed in, and made such a noise that the seated peo- ple all turned their heads. Then the young- sters began toyell, glasses pounded on the bar, the office-holders and the menon the piatform beat the boards frantically with their feet, and the band tried to play some* thing else, but fell into ‘‘Dixie.’’ And then, slowly, looking neither tothe right or left, Mayor Noonancame down the aisie near the wall, with Secretary Brennan by his side, Ed. Butler in front and Judge Claiborne behind. The Judge and Butler had on big overcoats and slouch hats, while the Mayor and O.K. Jim’ wore silk hats and frock coats. The Mayor went upon the stand, laid down his hat and shook hands with everybody solemnly, the applause continu- ing. Then with grave face he advanced to the front of the platform, and Counselor Marshall, standing by him with beaming face, said: **The Mayor of the city needs no introduc- tion from me——’’ **Hurrah for Noenan!’’ ‘*He is the Moses of Democracy in St. Louis——’’ **Where was he at when the light went out?’’ **He made his campaign in 1889 just after the city had been carried for the Republicans by 9,000 majority and was elected bya hand- some majority.’’ **He’ll doitagain next spring,’’ shouted somebody and the crowd expressed uproar- ious approval of the prediction. The Mayor’s face did not relax aline. He stood asif on dress parade, waiting for the Counselor to finish, ‘‘Iregard it as the proudest privilege I have ever had to introduce him,’’ the Coun- selor finished. ‘‘He is the best,the bravest, the brainiest Mayor St. Louls has ever had.’’ Waiting for the applause to subside, Mayor Noonan began his speech by an apology for the official conduct that had estranged so many of his friends, He declared it wag cir- cumstances andnot his wish that had made him offend so many. ‘*Had I my desire,’’. said he, *‘I would man back at the | ra or spoke with notes, but very la- ‘boriously, trying to remember, it seemed. The fact was that the speech he had ‘Imtended to make had been sent to @ newspaper office to be »printed, and he had noother copy. So, after a few minutes of effort to recall the phrases he had written, he gave itup and struck outa inew track. He kept a tight rein on his tongue and said nothing personal, discussing national and State issues principally. While he was speaking the crowd back at the bar got very noisy and was constantly swelled by accessions from the groups nearer the plat- form who were disappointed in the modera- tion of the Mayor’s remarks. He was hesi- tating in the middle of a sentence when from the bar came loudly, **Five!’’ A dollar fell on the board counter witha loud noise, and the barkeeper slammed down five glasses with a louder one. The Mayor halted, confused. **Gentlemen,’’ said the Oity Counselor, getting up, with an apologetic gesture to the Mayor, ‘‘pray be quiet and let us hear this speech.’’ ‘‘Hurrah for Noonan!’’ crowd at the bar. ‘‘Fill ’em up and let ‘er go, boys, he’s a dandy.’’ The bar rang again. Counselor Marshall sat down with a deprecatory glance at the Mayor, who went on, frequently in- térrupted by the enthusiastic Noonanese at the bar. When he touched the force bill, the Mayor went back to the days of chivajry to find its counterpart. ‘*There used to be a time,’’ said he, **‘when the knight and the baron could ride into the valleys, all mail-clad, their horses also mall- clad, and harry and ravish asit pleased them.’’ The crowd raised their eyes at this flight. **And there was no one to withstand his at- tack on the defenseless Kern. **Hoobee! Hurrahfor Kern!’’ yelled the workers by the bar, feeling that .the Mayor was on solid local ground again. The Mayor looked indignant, but con- tinued: ‘‘And those tyrannical acts of the barons were the precursor —.’’ ‘*Oh, to—— with the barons!’’ shouted a broad-shouldered young man, with a wave of a battered derby hat, ‘‘Hurrah for Noonan! Let’s give him three cheers and ——.’’ **Shut up there!’’ **Put him out!’’ **Go on!’’ HIS PERFECT COMPOSURE. The gallery auditors were getting angry by this time. The Mayor, however, was nota whit discomposed. He went straight ahead for a few minutes longer, and sat down in an uproar of applause. The tocsin had been sounded. WEDDING INVITATIONS.

A SECRET MEETING TO FIX THE CITY ELECTION, The Opposition That Confronted John O. Orrick on His Entrance-—Silks and Hoodlums Embrace With Reluctant Cordiality—Distributing Money for the Precincts. John ©, Orrick, coming into the light of the Central Turner Hall saloon from the bare instant for his eyes to adjust themselves to the new conditions, He gota glimpse ofa big bar room, the floor covered with saw- dust, and groups of ward politicians white and black, sitting attables and standing at the bar. As he accomplished his contempla- tion and started forward to the staircase which he must ascend to get to the secret Republican campaign meeting where his presence had been asked, a tu- mult arose up-stairs,a noise of oaths and men falling down stairs, and with a rush and a yell two negroes, bloody from head to foot, dropped in front of the partner of Sec- retary Noble. Mr. Orrick recoiled and fell to ohne side. The negroes were led to the bar by sympathizing friends, and Mr. Or- rick pursued his way up-stairs, whence they had come, One of the negroes dis- appeared, but the other, a_ short, black man, with Oo great gashes on his forehead, which had bled over a white collar and shirt bosom anda gray suit of clothes, walked up and down the sa- loon a ghastly spectacle, swearing that he would get even with the Republicans up- stairs. **I tried to get in without a ticket from Mr. Filley,’’ said the wounded man, ‘‘and Bill Dyer, the Sergeant-at-Arms, hit me with a loaded cane, one of those penitentiary canes with iron in Iit.’’ The story that the man had been badly in- jured went up stairs where the Republicans were sitting and two or three trustworthy negroes were sent down hastily to mollify nis anger, shut his mouth and get him away from the place. He yielded to the argu- ments offered him and presently went away tothe City Dispensary, a biock distant, to get his wounds dressed. SILKS AND HOODLUMS. This was Friday nightand Mr. Filley had arranged for a private meeting of the Repub- lican Precinct Committeemen and the Repub- lican Supervisors, and to all of the leading Silk Stocking Republicans in town had been sent invitations asking them to attend an ‘‘important conference of Republicans.’’ This indefinite kind ofan Invitation brought quite a curious crowd, taken by official posi- tion. All of the precinct managers were there, for they understood that the campaign fund was to be distributed. Many of the supervisors came too. City Treasurer M. J. Foerstel, chairman of the Central Commit- tee, presided. President of the Council Cyrus P. Walbridge had been invited, but was not present. Henrr Ziegenheim, the Collector, camearoundand made a speech so loudly applauded that the Turners in their gymnasium under the hall couldn’t hear the commands of Director W. H. Muegge for a minute. Strangely enough, Mr. Filley himself was not there. Chairman Foerstel explained that he was not in town, but some of those present had an idea that he kept himself in the background in order that there might be no check on the sociability of the Silks. Orrick got away as soon as he could with good grace. John Loesch, the keeper of the dog pound, stayed only a short while. ‘‘Talk, beer and sandwiches,’’ said he, disgustedly, as he came out. ‘‘I’m going down south and make some votes.’’ Collector Churchill came around and went up-stairs, but retreated in a few minutes from the company he found there. Col. F, W. Schuarte had engaged to meet him there, but didn’t appear. Delegate Julius Lehmann decided after a few minutesinthe hall tnat there wasn’t enough practical politics there and ieft. Every now and then two negroes would come in the bar-room together, one well dressed, the other ragged. By the red hot stove -they would separate, the ragged one staying below, and the other, who had a ticket, going up-stairs. When- ever a Republican came down stairs the negroes waiting below would begin to talk loudly about voting the Democratic ticket, and the Republican would lead them to the bar. MR. NIEDRINGHAUS MAKES FRIENDS. When Tom Niedringhaus, florid and neatly dressed, cigarin mouth and hands in the ockets of a tight-fitting overcoat dropped n, the negroes flocked around him like the languid flies.around a saucer of sugar lumps on theshelf behind thecounter. Mr. Nied ringhaus concillatea a dozen of them in the usual way, and then went up-stairs just in time to hearaspeech from John H. Both- well, chairman of the State Republican Com- mittee, in which he declared that the party in St. Louls was united and would sweep the city. Ly 10 o’clock the silkiest of the Sjlk Stock- ings had all gone away, and the meeting up- stairs settled down to business. SUPERVISORS AS PARTISANS, The supervisors were instructed so plainly that they could understand what was ex- pected of them, and the precinct committee- men reported the condition of the vote in all their precincts, Chairman Forestel told them that if the Republicans attended totheir business the whole local ticket would be elected by majorities ranging from 5,000 to 10,000. Duplicate tickets were distributed. The matterof money was not touched on openly, but each committeman got the tip that on Monday he would have $50 o spend on election day put in his hands.

NEw YORK, Nov. 5.—The crew of the steamer Enchantress,Capt. Chrissholm,of the United States & Brazil Mail Steamship Line, now lying at her dock, tell a story of great suffering through want of food and water. The vessel left Santos Sept. 19, touched at other ports. She left St. Thomas Oct. 25. Terrific gales were met on the voyage, but five days before reaching here it was suddenly discovered that the pro- visions and water were nearly all gone. The crew were reduced to one biscuit and half a pint of wateraday. This caused great suf- fering among the men, and their hearts were eee map when the steamer came into port ‘ednesday. ‘The Enchantress anchored in the bay and came up to her dock to-day. WILD WINDS IN THE CARIBBEAN SBA. BALTIMORE, Md., Nov. 5.—Particulars of the damage done by the storm which passed over San Andreas in the Carribbean Sea bave been received. The cyclone began about 2 a. m., Oct. 8, at San Andreas. Two hours after the beginning of the gale the wind sud- denly shifted to westward and the cyclone was on inearnest. The frame houses, char- acteristic of that partof the world, were lifted from their foundations and carried hundreds of feet by the wind. At San An- dreas the cocoanut crops of about fifty planters were almost en- tirely ruined. At Old Providence, with a popuiation -of about 1,500 people in small settlements,the wind played havoc with the buildings and nearly every house on the island was wrecked or badly damaged. On the east side of the Island a church owned by the Baptists, and another onthe north end of the town of the same denomination, have disappeared. The roofs of these were lifted off like paper and the remainder of the build- ings collapsed. A small sixty-ton schooner named Amoy, owned by Fred Robinson of Old Providence, anchored off Old Providence whenthecyclone began, was blown across the reefs leading from the island and carried outtosea. She has not been heard from. Although the cyclone lasted fourteen hours no one so far as known was killed. THE STEAMER GILCHOR, CHIcaco, Ill, Nov. 5.—Capt. Duncan Buchanan of the schooner Seaman, who was perhaps the last person to see the lost steamer Gilchor says :‘‘When about twenty miles north west of North Manitou Island and fifteen miles due west of Fox Island light,’’ he said, ‘fat 8 o’clock last Friday night, we sighted a big steamer directly in frout of us. As we had the right of way we burned our torch for the steamer to make room for us, but she did not make the slightest move to do so. She lay with her head northwest, directly into the wind, ana did not seem to be working her wheel any more than to keep pointed into the wind. As she would not turn we had to, and we passed her some 300 or 400 feet away. The weather thickened soon after that and we lost sight of her. I bDelleve that the Captain had already discoveredgthat his boat was in a perilous condition and did not.dare turn her head out of the wind. Not the slightest attention was paid to us and it Is likely the entire crew was at work either try- ing to stop leaks or otherwise endeavoring to save their boat.’’ Last night’s storm on the lakes was very severe. It was accompanied by snow, and it is feared many boats and lives have been lost. Several steamers at Marquette have had to turn back, and a fleet of seventeen are in shelter at Port Huron. Down-bound boats at the Soo report a heavy northeast gale and Diinding snowstorm on Lake Superior. In Behalf of Cabbage. First, to avoid scenting the house: Cut the cabbage, if small, into four pleces, removing the heart and the outer leaves. Have alarge saucepan full of water, boiling furiously ; into this plunge your cabbage, with a tablespoon- ful ofsaltand asmall saltspoonful of soda. Put on the boller until it bolls rapidly again, then remove it and boll for twenty minutes, uncovered. Remember, the saucepan should be large, with plenty of boiling water. Cooked in this way, the cabbage loses its strong taste and becomes delicate and easily digested. Indeed, persons who cannot pos- sibly eat cabbage cooked with corned beef or bacon; can indulge in cabbage boiled in salted water with as much impunity asin coleslaw or sauerkraut. And it. is better without vinegar. Turn the cabbage into a colander, while you prepare in the saucepan a cream sauce of one table- spoonful of butter, one teaspoonful of flour and half a cupful of milk, with pepper and a little salt. Returp the cabbage to the sauce- pan, end let all bubble up together once. Or you can serve the cabbage with a simple aressing of butter, if youprefer. Or you can add it in the proportion of one-third totwo- thirds of mashed potato, moistening with butter or cream, making that good old stand- by, colecannon. Why Not Women Drug Olerks? There are not many women employed in drug stores as Clerks, though the wives of some suburban druggists have developed into very competent assistants, Women doctors bave entirely lived down the prejudice which exisited against them when they first began to practice, and there is no doubt that women dispensing clerks will find no diffi- culty in proving their efficiency. So faras carelessness in putting up pre- scriptions is concerned, there 1s noreason for supposing that it will exist to any greater ex- tent ina lady thanina gentleman, andit its to be noted that, while medical scandals oc- casionally occur, lady physicians so far have been exceptionally exempt them and have made very enviable records, ject of women drug clerks is nota new one, bat it is becoming quite alive issue in some of the largest cities. —_—- Oranges and Roasted Oats.

Farris Was Indicted in St. Charles County for Refusing to Comply With the Tyrannical and Unconstitu- tional Act—Ordered to Chicago by the Military Authorities. The arrest and imprisonment of Bishop Hogan of Kansas City and the persecutions of Father Cummings under the Drake Oon- stitution are well-known, but few people are aware that there arein St. Louis at the present time several ministers who suffered punishment under that constitution rather than submit tothe galling yoke pre- pared forthem. Amongthem are Rev. Dr. Robert P. Farris, the editor of the St. Louis Présbyterian. He was pastor of the Southern Presbyterian Church at St. Charles, Mo., at the time, and he preached the Gospel pure and simple, unadulterated with politics or profane topics ofany kind. But he did not escape the Drake constitution, even though he was a relative of the maker of the law. He was indicted by the Grand-jury of St. Charles County because he could not in con- science take an oath to support an earthly power for the privilege of obeying his divine mission. The indictment is as follows: ‘ THE INDICTMENT. IN THE ST. CHARLES CIRCUIT . at the county and Rovert P.

Orrick, who has been for many years a prominent Silk Stocking Republican of St. Louis, and who is now counsel for the St. Louts Republicans in the registration action in Judge Dillon’s court. The Circuit Judge to whose court the Grand-jury made thelr return was William WwW. Edwards, now Kepublican candidate for Judge of the Supreme Court, Division No. 1. The case against Dr. Farris never came to trial because the docket was full of similar prosecutions, all of which were nolle prose- quied when the court of last resort biotted the law from the statute books as unconsti- tutional, DR. FARRIS’ STORY. Dr. Farris delights itn telling his friends of his experience withthe Drake constitution. ‘*I did not take the oath, and I determined that I would die rather than obtain a license from the State to preach the Gospel. Of course I did not seek prosecution, but continued at my usual ministerial labors, quietly and un- obtrusively. Oneday a messenger came to my house and informed me that an indictment had been returned against me, but that Judge Edwards and Mr. Orrick would waive the formality of an arrest if I would step across the street to the office of the clerk of, the court and give bond for my appearance. I in- structed the messenger to inform Judge Edwards and Mr. ck t was very thankful to them for their consideration, but that I could not conveniently go to the clerk’s office on the errand which suggested. I expected to a Deputy Sheriff come and drag me oOffto prison. Hedid not come, however, and [employed a lawyer to look after the case, but nothing serious ever Came of it.”’ TROUBLE WITH MILITARY OFFICIALS. This was not Dr. Farris’ first clash with the authorities during the war. As earl as 1862, Brig. -Gen. Louis Merril —not the Gen. Merrill now sta- tioned at Chicago—issued an order for all ministers to takethe oath of fealty to the United States. ‘‘I could have taken the oath witha clear conscience,’’ said Dr. Farris, ‘‘although my var were with e in - e Re ay a gnize in any ma my is privilege to preach the 1, andl was therefore ar- rested andl in Gratiot Street for six weeks, I was then released on paro six weeks, and at the end ofthat time I was ordered to move to Chicago.

I re- turned to St. Louls immediately and was re- arrested as soon as to preach again, but I had ent Lincoln’s order in my pocket, and [ was released very quickly.

IRISH LEADERS QUARRELING OVER THE PARLIAMENTARY FUND. OChambetlain’s Labor Prozramme Falls _ Plat-Soeclal Problems'Engaging the At- tentium of Leaders of All Parties— Nakea end Hungary Paraders Feasted on Speeches — President Harrison’s Tall-Twisting Laughed At-—Wales on Wheels. Lorpon, Nov. 5.—The interview with Red, mond cabled last Saturday to the SunpaY Post-DisPatcu bas been partly reproduced in the Irish newspapers, and.the McCarthy- ites declare that it is totally different in tone and temper from the speeches Redmond has been makirg in Ireland. They say that he wishes to impress the American people with the reasonableness of his attitude and his anxiety for home rulé, while all the time his party are doing everything to embarrass Gladstone and secure the return of the pionists to power. They aver that Redmond’s policy in Ireland were .~onallfours with bis statement in the inter- view there is no reason whatever why he should not join hands with them and restore peace to his distracted country. On the other hand, the moderation of the:interview ig violently condemned by the extremists of bis party. There is much truth in the theory that if Redmond were his own master he would be for unity, but he has raised forces ip Ireland which he cannot quell and which through him may prove the ruinof home .¥€ule. It has been agreed to holda special meeting ofthe McCarthyite party in Dublin onthe 16th inst., to be followed onthe ensuing day hy a general convention of delegates from the federation’s branches in Ireland. ‘The meeting is to be mainly concerned with the measures to be adopted to maintain the evicted tenants throughout the winter for, ‘as was predicted weeks ago, it is certain that the Paris fund cannot be released for months, even though both parties should agree for that purpose. Even should the Paris tribunal consent to its release, the suit in the English Chancery Court must be disposed of before any agreement can be made effective. The suits of the Redmondites, both in Paris and in London, have left the question of the Ownership of the fund in an exceedingly complicated position. COMING ELECTIONS. The petitions against the return of Davitt and Follam fortwo divisions of Meath will be brought totrial ina fortnight, and itis feared that the trial will invalidate both elections. The McCarthyites are petitioning against the election of William Redmond for Clare. During the past week Archbishop Croke has ‘been endeavoring to bring about an arrange- ment by which the Redmondites will drop their two petitions on condition that the Mc- Carthyites withdraw theirs. These efforts have so far not been successful, and there ts not much hopethat they will result in an amicable settlement. It is the accepted con- viction on both sides in Ireland thatif the Meath petitions are brought to trial the best chance of effecting a reunion of the two sec- tions will have disappeared. Chamberlain’s labor programme has failed of its intended effect as a political move. Labor leaders whom he hoped to capture for his policy of obstructing Gladstone and home rule deride his proposals as superficial and worthiess. In fact, John Burns has already intimated his intention to reply to ChambDer- lain in the Nineteenth Century next month in order to expose the snare which Chamberlain — attempted to set forthe Labor party. Cham- Derlain’s proposals in their original form ‘were much more drastic than when pub- lished, but his capitalistic friends in the Lib- eral Unionist party got frightened, and, out of deference tothem, he was compelled to reduce his scheme to innocuousness. The Liberals are looking forward toa pos- sibie election in Burniay,caused by the antic- ipated resignation of Mr. Spencer Salfour, who has been connected with bullding socie- ties which has just collapsed under circum- stances which may lead to the indictmentof, the directors for malversation. His resig- nation under such circumstances would prob- ably lose the seat and reduce Gladstone’s majority. SOCIAL PROBLEMS. The workingman is forcing himself more and more into the public eye. For weeks he has held the center of the stage in Franoe with the Carmaux strike, and for the past week he has been dividing the interest over here with the great jewel scandal case. Every Gay a meeting of unemployed is held on Tower Hill, ending with a ocession of* Tagged men and boys. The men who talk to these idle ones come to the place in cabs, go away incahdbs and seem to have as gooda time as professional labor agitators have in Hardy,the labor Member of Parlla- honored them with a visit and speech other day, and John Burns, Member Par- at, has lent his aid to keeping up their poure. though nobody does anything prac- Jeatto help them out ofitheir troubles. Burns ked plainly about labor and soctalism a ay ortwoago. In the courseof an inter- he said: **T recognize that socialism has finished its purely theoretical career and ,that the hour Gome for construction.’' **¥Yon do not beileve in a violent revolution, and do not wish to demolish thin gs.’’ =#@h, no!

In spite of the overcrowded labor mar- ket workmen everywhere have strikingly long hours. ess : The great railroad accident at Thirsk on Wednesday, where ten people were killed outright, was plainty due tothis. The man who set the signals worked twelve hours ata stretch, Just before going on duty on the day of the collision he had had no sleep,for practically two days, being kept up with his sick child, which died. He said he was worn out and not fit for work, and begged for a day off, but the railway company would not relieve him, so ten lives were sacrificed in the effort to save 60 cents. One 8. Thompson,a rich man, distinguished himself this week by making what is called the most outrageous and revolutionary speech ever heard in London. Heis one of the stockholders of the Aerated Bread Co., which owns Scores of restaurants in all parts of the town like the dairies of New York. The annual meeting was held on Monday and the reports showed an extraordinary pros- perity, with a dividend of 87% per cent. In the thankfulness of his heart Thompson got up and proposed that they increase the wages of the waiter girls who are the best of their eciass. . These girls now get from $2to $8 a week. Thompson said that ifthe compeny would pay them more money it would save many girls from being driven to marriage with undesirable men. Three dollars a week, Thompson said, was miser- able wages, especially as the company could well afford to pay more. Before he had fin- ished there was a wild uproar and a howl of dissent. One clergyman among the stock- holders shouted, ‘‘Bosh and rubdbish!’’ and ina twinkling the ‘‘revolutionary’’ resolu- tion Thompson tried to introduce was voted down and that gentleman soundly talked to. Everybody is commenting on the queer case ofthis ‘‘revolutionary’’ stockholder, and he is looked upon with distinct disfavor as an undermining foe to British institutions. AN ELECTIONEERING DODGE. The request of the State Depurtment at Washington for the release of the Irish- American dynamiters is looked upon here simply asan electioneering scheme, and is not a very dignified one on the part of the Re- publican administration. Nobody believes for a moment that the request will be granted, or even given serious consideration. There is, however, a growing disposition to hearken to requests from America, and the respite of Neill, who was to be hanged on Tuesday, isinline with this. He gets one more week of life while the government iooks into the question of is sanity, which evidence is contained in documents now on the way from America. This will surely have no effect. No matter how strongly these pa- pers prove Neill’s insanity he is sure to be hanged next week. Life in the work-houses Is not as placid and roseate as some novelists would have us be- lieve. An old man who had been an inmate of one for years howled and begged for a doc- tor the other night, but the master told him him to *‘shutup and die.’’ Accustomed {so obedience the pauper didthis and the cogo- ner is now making trouble lor the particular institution. At Wrexham Work-house yes- terday a child died and they sent for the usual coffin. The coffin was taken to cemetery and services were held over it by a clergyman of the established churcn, The child was buried, and everybody went home satisfied. Some people strolling about the Work-house casually discovered that the child’s body was still there, and that they had buried an empty coffin, carried it back, put in the chila’s body and‘buried the whole thing over again in the mussed-up grave. Speaking of funerals, the burial reform ts trying bard to make it cheap for a person to die. Itisa very expensive proceeding over here, sothis week a big meeting has been held with long resolutions and all that sort of thing, including pleadings against execes- sive floral decorations. The powerful aid of the Government has been asked to interfere to help along the good work of cheaper funerals. the WORSHIP OF KINGS. Grand opera is no more successful here than in New York, and no manager ever makes money outof thething. Sig. Largo has just written a pathetic note to the public announcing that he. had to close his doors because people would not come to hear his singers. Everybody is sorry, except Sir Augustus Harris, whoisrunning an oppost- tion opera and who now hopes for full houses. Meanwhile in Paris, Jean De Rezeke is get- ting $2.000 a month for tweive performances. One would imagine that in a country which has always been monarchical Kings and queens and all that sort of thing would be- come somewhat accustomed . . ‘ ¢ ““ _. werk oo cae we ey yes z ae = AN IMPORTANT STEP i eS — A French’ Chamber of Commerce Or- ganized in St. Louis. HOW THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT WILL KEEP IN TOUCH WITH US. Commercial Organizations to Be Formsd jm All the Princ!pal Cities of the Coun- try—The Meeting Yesterday at the Lin- dell Hotel—Emile Karst Explains the Organization’s Object. For years past attempts have been made to establish closer relations between the Cham- bers of commerce of the United States and France, but not until February of this year did the Minister of Commerce of France evince enough interest in the welfare of both countries totake such action as would put France on such basis as to receive greater recognition from the United States. On February of this yearthe Minister of Com- merce of France sent a dele- gate to the Unitea States to vis- it the various chambers of commerce and to ascertain what relations could be established between the United States and France. Afteratour of the United States the delegate returned to Paris and related to the commission the result of his observa- tions, advocating the establishment of closer relationship between France and the United States. The French Government immediately took action upon the report of the commission, and authorized the estab- lishment of several French Chambers of Com- merce in the large cities of the United States. CONSUL KARST NOTIFIED, The action of the French Government wag made known to Mr. Emile Karst, ex-Consular Agent of St. Louis, authorizing him to estab- lisha French Chamber of Commerce in 8t. Louis. It was specially stated by the French Government in its declaration that none but Frenchmen should become mem- bers of the board, and for this reason the organization of such a chamber in St. Louis has been considerably delayed, inasmuch as a majority ofthe French nationality in the city have taken out naturalization papers, and are no longer citizens of France. This fact was made known to the French Government, and after due consideration the clause was modl- fied so as to read ‘‘that the members ofthe board shall be composed of native French- men or gentlemen of French descent,’’ THE MEETING YESTERDAY. When the information was received in 8t. Louis, ex-Consul Karst issued a number of invitations requesting a number of St. Louisans to meet at the Lindell Hotel on Sat- urday afternoon, Nov. 5, 1892, for the purpose of organizing a French Chamber of Com- merce... At 8:80 o’clock the meeting was called to order in parlor No. 22 of the Lindell, and the purpose of the same was made know by Mr. Karst. After a discus- sion lasting two hours the cham- ber was organized by the election of the following officers: Emile Karst, Presi- dent; J. H. Chassaing, Vice-President; Emile 8. Guignon, Treasurer; J. J. Wellenberger, Auditor, and Alfred de’Vervols, Secretary. PURPOSE OF ORGANIZATION. After the meeting had adjourned President Emile Karst in conver- sation with a SUNDAY Post-DIsPATCH reporter said: ‘**The reason this chamber was organized was at the expressed desire of the French Government’ and upon the en- ‘thusiastic approval Of the principal members of the Chamber of Commerce of S8t. Louis. This new organization, sub- sidized by the French Government, has been forme'l to encourage and increase the commercial relations Detween France and the United States, but it does itself no commercial business of any kind. Its object and intent ts to furnish gratu- itously all useful information pertaining to individual legislation and the government ofall commercial matters, and to become the official organ of French commerce and manufacturers. For this purpose it is authorized to correspond directiy with the French Ministers of Commerce and of Foreign Affairs, and to submit to them its views on modifications or changes that may be desirable, both in the various branches of commercial legislation anu inthe execution of improvements that may interest commerce and _ industry. This Chamber of Commerce is like- wise to keep up continuous relations between all the chambers of commerce in France with the chambers and of Commerce and to have them more fully acquainted with our wants and re- sources. Now, If this plancan he carried out with the zeal that it requires it is certain that the organization is bound to become the official organ of French com- merce and manufacturers. The convention adjoured subject to the call of the President.

What Has Been Done to Cure Them— A New Class of Men-——Why Specialists Are Successful, Diseases of the nose, throat. lungs and stomach are so common inthisclimate that physicians who might otherwise engage in general practice have devoted themselves entirely to the study of how to cure them. There has thus grown up withthe growth of dis- eases of this charactera class of physicians known as specialists, who have confined themselves en- tirely to the study of characteristics of these dis- eases, to the treatment thereof ana to the best methods of obtaining a cure. Catarrh and its kindred diseases are generally left to such epecialists to treat. It is true that the average physieiau will accept cases of this character, but, of course, not having the special knowledge of these diseases, and caring little any way for the treatment of chronic troubles, they allow patients to become dissatisfied with lack of progress. and very often in the end refer them to specialists for special treatment, It is often asked why Drs. Copeland and Thompson succeed so thoroughly in every direction in their practice in this speciai field of medical work. Drs. Copeland and Thompson, in the first place, are skilled men. In the second, they give their whole time to patients. Every day they compare note on the subject of individual cases and apply the re- sult of their conclusions. THIS IS THE +ECRET OF THEIR SUCCESS. With them the science of mediciueis a constant growth, and every case a special study. Nota potnt that has any possible bearing on the subject is over looked, Thus they succeed where others fail. That the public appreciates this system is shown in many ways. The practice of these physicians is large and constantly growing. ‘The testimonials printed each week prove conclusively what is being done for many people, who themselves are willing to appear before the public to tell what the majority of people will be slow to make public. These per- sonal statements are not asked or secured for money or for any consideration whatever. They ere in every case given fora benevolent purpose, the per- son making the statement believing that his words will reach some poor sufferer who will profit by knowing whore to obtain relief from his pain. Theappreciation is shown further by hundreds of letters which pour in upon the doctors every week, These letters are carefully answered. It may be objected to by many that Drs. Copeland and Thompson advertise. But this is not a valid ob- jection. It has no reason, no common sense and no real value as an objection. These physicians adver- tise because there is no reason why they should not doso. They advertise so that their opportunity for benefiting people will be largely increased. They advertise to let the public know what can be done by good, competent specialists. They advertise be- cause by this means they can secure a practice which will permit them to charge oniy a small sum per month to patients suffering from catarrh. Their success has been won by honest, hard work; by genuine methods, by undivided and devoted study and experience. This is the record of their training and experience. Theycan and do cure the diseases of their specialty after the efforts of others have proved powerless. STOMACH TROUBLES CURED. A Little Leeture oa Indigestion and a Demonstration. —_ It will be noticed in these accounts of the success- ful treatment given to sufferers from bronchial ca- tarrh or Jung trouble, thatin neariy every instance the shortness of breath, the pains iu the iungs, the wheezing and rattling sounds, the night sweats, spitting of blood, cough, ete., which mark the pres- ence of this disease, are accompanied by a severe stomach affection. The cause of this is very easily explained. The catarrbal poison drops from the head into the throat and thence into the stomach, The catarrhal proc- ess attacks the sensitive lining of this organ, the membrane becomes inflamed and sore and constant- ly irritated. When food is taken into the stomach, that organ being unable to perform its functions, does not digest the substances, and thus indiges- tion with all its horrors is experienced by the victim. Nothing will prove this more clearly than the case of Mr. Henry Vercho, who tives at 5207 Blair ave- nue. NG fe © 4—_4.... —— fam Mr. Henry Vercho, 6207 Biair avenue. Mr. Vercho, when lately intefviewed on the sub- ject of his recent illness, said: **T have been sick offand onfor about six years. I had all the painful and disagreeable symptoms. of catarrh. I had the most frightful headaches imagin- abie. Icould hardly stand the pain. Ast times I felt as if there was a load of bricks on the top of my head. I had noises in my ears, and had great trouh’e with my eyes, Oftenthey would become so weak and watery that 1 could not see, and would have to stop work, I hada bad cough and a gore throat, pains in my chest and leftside. My hands and wrists would swell up, and wy sufferings were intense. ** My stomach was in very bad condition. It seemed sore and raw ail the time. I could not digest any kind of food. The painin the siomac' after eating amounted to simple agony. Mu stomach would distend with gas, and I would bring up a sour fluid that was as bitter as gall. Unable to eat or digest my food, I became terribly weak, and could hardly ettend to my business. ‘*Hearing of the success of Drs. Copeland and Thompson in catarrh and stomach troubles, I wens to them and placed myself under their care. The result was astonishing. My headaches have disap- peared, the noisesin my ears have ceased, my eyes areciear aad bright, The pains and soreness in my throat, chestand lungs have disappeared, end my stomach isin perfectcondition. Ican eat anything and everything without distress. I am stronger and better in a thousand ways, and I feel better and look ten years. I am giad to testify in behaif of Drs, Copeland and Thompsen.

Sigh set . oa e 7 65,000,000 bu in the visible supply of this _country, and Bradstreet’s figures for both ‘coasts will be fully 90,000,000 bu at next re- port’ On the ocean afloat for Europe is nearly 28,000,000 bu, and English stocks in port granaries and millers’ reserves are estimated at 32,000,000 bu. Add- ing to these amounts the stocks in other European countries, thereis undoubt- edly over 150,000,000 bu. In the world’s availa- bie supply, yet when it is considered that this is less than the world’s requirements for ten weeks, it does not appear so extraordinarily heavy after all. The phenomenal yun of winter wheat to market in this country has ceased and this movement is gradually de- creasing. Farmers have shut offcompletely, their deliveries in many sections, in some because they are about cleaned out, in others because of the poor prospects of the crop they had sown this fall, andin others on account of the corn harvest. Mostof the wheat arriv- ing here is on old shipments, compara- tively few fresh Dills lading now coming in to local receivers. With all the rains that have lately fallen in the winter wheat belt, crop complaints continue, as well as statements of delayed fall plowing and seeding and ofthe presence of insects. It ig stated that never before was the ground and she plant so infested with bugs as they have been and still are. On Dec. 1 of last year the condition of winter wheat was 85.3, the lowest by ten points ever reported on Dec, 1, and then good rains in November had greatly impaired the crop’s appearance. ‘Unless the weather conditions are favorable this month, the average onthe first of next month is expected to be below even last year, and, if country advices are to be believed, the acreage will be less. There is no let-up to the exports from this country, t h few fresh .export orders for wheat arrive from the other side. Since July 1 the total in wheat and flour has been equivalent to 70,000,000 bu, or only 12,000,000 bu less than lastyear. So far this year exports have been at the rate of 210,000,000 bu, which is 40,000,000 Du larger than the highest estimated exportable surplus of this country. An unusually large proportion of these ship- ments has been in the shape of flour. These large flour exports are due to the fact that itis more profitable to mill wheat and send it abroad as flour than to send it abroad as wheat. The cost of handling the wheat in the shape of flour fromthe Western mills to the other side is less by several cents a bushel than it is to handle it in the shape of wheat. Added tothis isthe fact that Amer- ican mills have wonderfully complete ma- chinery, and during the past year some of the large mills have produced flour from large quantities of wheat at less than 414 bu toa barrel. This possibly may not be dune this year owingtothe poorer quality of the crop. Itis not expected that any material change will be seen in the market until after ~-the eiections,.but bulls feel encouraged by the way the pecee hangs around its present position and iook for a material improve- ment and active speculation, if anything like good bullish influences develop.}j = . * While cash wheat has shown but little change in prices during the past week there has been an improvement in the demand for Nos. 3 and 4. lllers have been picking up these grades more freely, and as the output of the mills given below shows a large amount of these grades is going into con- sumption through this channel. The redictions of lighter receipts in the OST-DISPATCH review of last Sunday have been realized and advices from the country dealers say that the farmers are generally well sold out and are offering very little wheat, and all indications point to a still further falling off in the movement to this market. While there is no export de- mand except for hard wheat, the cur- rent receipts are about being used up. Out of the 687,433 bu received in this market during the week the stock in store has only increased 82,500 bu, which indicates that the mills are able to take care of the current re- any material falling off in them must necessa reduce the stock. Yester- day No.2 red sold at 65%:@66c, No. 3 red at 61 @6luc, No. 4 winter at 58i¥ec, No.2 hard winter at 61%c, No. 3dao0 at 59c, No. 2spring at 55c, No.8 spring at 5ilec. The stock in store is 6,532,857 bu of which 3,491,585 bu is No. d. * harvest be? is strong in the of thecorn traders just t present. So discouraging are _ the re- urns as revealed by the husking that the estimate of nearly 1,700,000,000 bu based upon the Government’s Oct. report is being seriously questioned. The propects are be- lieved by many to be worse thanat this time in 1890, when the average yield finally t to be 207 bu to the acre, whereas according to the last Oct. condition the yield was estimated at nearly 23 bu, In that year, too, there were 6,000,000 acres losr from the first estimate of the areasown. This ear’s area was placed at 72,852,000 arces and he crop has been figured on that basis ever since. Reducing this year’s area to 70,000,000 acresand givingthe same yield as 1890, the crop would about 1,450,000,000 bu, which would be quite an amountto drop to from the present estimate of 1,665,000,000 bu. That the country is alarmed at the poor yield is indicated by the let up in farmers’ deliver- ies that is shown by the decreased movement to market.

Foreigners are willing to take large quantities for forward shipment, but as miliers cannot see anything in it for temselves, very little is belng dons. There will no doubt be flour ground from now on, as most mil- lers are contemplating to diminish the out. t.

The movement of the crop was somewhat larger, but continues light as compared with last season. It was said that Neill would issue an estimate ofa crop of 7,100,000 to 7,250,000 bales. For the coming year Ellison estimates the consump- tion at 8,418,000 bales of American, 1,300,000 bales of Indian and 848,000 of Egyptian and Brazilian and adds that if current crop es- timates of 7,500,000 bales prove correct, prices willadvance. He reported the consumption last year as 8,218,000 of American, 1,132,000 of Indian and 8!8,000 bales of Egyptian and Brazilian. Spinners’ takings at Liverpool were very small, the threatened strike evi- dently having ‘deterred them from _ tak- ing their usual amount forconsumption. In Manchester stocks of cloths are accumulat- ing, andthe yarn market did not respond to the advance at Liverpool. There is more doing in cotton locally, and sales during the week aggregated 4.469 baies. Quotations are the Same asa week ago, but were advanced %c on Monday and reduced 1-l6éc each on Tues- day and Thursday. * . + The week developed no feature to change the dull and depressed condition of the hay mar- ket that has ruled for the past month. Re- ceipts for the week were 8,050 tons, against 2,662 tons the week before, and shipments were 535 tons, against 862 last week. Stocks in store on Nov. 1 were 475 cars. Estimated stocks on track and enroute to warehouses 125 cars, or a total estimated stock on hand of 600 cars. Receipts the past week show some In- crease, while the shipments were considerably less than the week before. The receipts ran mainly to medium and poor timothy and mixed grades of allkinds. The amount of prairie arriving was not large, but more than sufficient to supply the demand. The un- favorable weather Monday and Tuesday caused a light attendance of buyers at the tracks and warehouses, and trading was very light. Later, when the weather was favora- ble, a little more activity and lightly in- creased trading was noticed. The best grades of timothy about held their own in price, and as the offerings of this class were extremely light, little increase was made in their stocks. Mixed, of which the dally re- ceipts and stocks mainly consisted, showed the freest movement,and suffered most loss in value, all grades selling off fully 50@75c per ton. Low grade timothy was at no time salable, exceptina peddling way and then at prices dictated by the buyers, the poorest offerings selling aslowas$6perton. Dam- aged did not find buyers even at this low figure. The range on prairieiwas fully 50c per ton lower on all classes of offer- ings. Receivers and holders who have all had hopes of being able tospring an out- let from some source, and have worked every point known tothe fraternity, meeting with no success whatever, have about decided to accept the situation and reiy on local con- sumption to relieve the glutted state of the market. Untilthe present large stocks are worked off, no improvement can be looked for. Chat From ’Change. The Merchants’ Exchange willbe open for the members and their friends Tuesday even- ing, and arrangements have been made to have full election returns by wire posted on the blackboards. . * 7 Election day is a legal holiday, and will be observed by aclosing of all markets inthis country. No markets will be published in Tuesday’s POST- DISPATCH, and no PRICE CUR- RENT Will be issued on that day. perienced dealer is not surprised at a decline at this time, which always comes with the advent ofthe game trade. This season the prices held up much longer than usual. The prevailing figures will, however, induce many farmers and shippers to hold off a little until more improvement is manifest. An active trade was evident in apples all week and prices ranged all the way from $1.50 to $3.30 per barrel for car lots—showing a wide range inthe quality and condition of the offerings. The finest fruit offered was from’Canada. Pennsylvania and Massachu- setts apples, too, made a good impression. The majority of the receipts were, however, from New York State, and while some were very fine, a portion was very inferlor—dam- aged and No. 2stock. There is nosuch large quantity of fruit in cold storage here as there was a year ago at this time, and as thestored stock is light so far at most points the pros- pects for a steady advance are much brighter than they were at this time last year. ~ » - > The local crop of quinces has been unusual ly large this season and are still coming in, but the demand has not kept pace with the supply. The largest quince orchards in this section of the country are now and have been the past twenty years near ‘Troy, Ill. In fact, Troy israrely heard of here except in connection with this fruit, and while the Village bears "o resemDlance to the ancient and renowned Troy of bygone ages, it is not composed of the traditional ‘‘two saloons and blacksmith shop,’’ but has a population of 800 souls. A speculator over there who purchased 1,100 bushels finds himself now at the wrong end of the deal, and although he is still hauling them in, lower prices are as- sured for what remains unsold. * * 7. ‘*Talk about profits of shipping game,’’said a Third street commission merchant a few days ape. ‘*] belleve we made the most successful shipment of quail on record. I think it'was about eighteen years ago when prices touched the lowest point known to the trade. Quailcame in those days in barrels and dry goods boxes. We got in one very cold day two hogsheads of the Dirds. We hardly knew what to do with them. The market was 25 to85c per dozen. We took the shippers invoice and allowed him 80 centsadozen. We shipped thetwo heavy hogsheads to New Yor by freight. They got lost on the way and several tracers failed to locate them. However, three months later the party received them galong towards the first of May. Quail were then scarce and the lot sold for $2 a dozen, for they were still frozen. Yes, sir, I.made enough off that shipment to take atripto Europe. It broke the record for profitson ashipmentof quail anywhere,’’ * . * P Political feeling and interest in the pend. ing campaign became manifest inthe com- mission and produce quarters during the past week and innumerable instances came to the surface which at times checked the flow of traffic. Mr. J. 8S. Sinclair, while discuss- ing politics a few mornings ago, mounteda calf crate in front of his store and held forth to a crowd for some time very successfully. A maninthe crowd was heardto say, ‘‘That man could do very effective stump speaking in the interior towns and back counties, for he is a natural hustleron the stump.’’ The peroration wasail for Warner. Mr. J. Den- nis, the tall and dignified commission man on the same block, can hold a good audience at will, and his eloquence and voice are always raised for Cleveland and tariff re- form. Mr. Dennis isa fiuent talker and his logicand arguments are pronounced Al by the men on the block whodonot attempt to meet him in debate. The golden-hued and bulky squash is abroad inthe produce quarters and it never looked so healthy and inviting as it does just now. Oneof the finest loadsthat ever ap- peared on the street hovein sight Thursday morning and was brought in by the culti- vator,an enterprising darkey from the classic precincts of Venice, and his wagon displayed the usual liberal quantity of American bot- tom ___ soil. ‘his load did not find a man in the trade who, according tothe darkey’s views, properly valued his squash. They were immense in size—one he sold to a restaurant man weighing 110 pounds —and so richly colored that they appeared to be galvanized. Finally the load of beauties was sold for $3.75. It took probably a whole day to getthis load ready, another day to market it—two days for the manand his two mules—and if any profit appeared for the season’s work on the ple padding it would be aifficult to locate It. * aa * The Philadelphia Ledger has this to say about the potato crop inthe country: ‘*This year the crop promises to De snort at least one-third, and farmers who have been suc- cessful in bringing their crops toa healthy maturity will receive remunerative returns. The falling off in the presént return Is the re- suit ofloss from rot and blight in the East and damage to the late crops through drouth inthe West. In the mountains re- gion of the Pacific Coast the conditions are inore promising. The late crop will not be more than one-half of what was anticipated. In New Jersey, Pennsylvania and other near-by sections, information points to a falling off of production of at least one: half from last year’s yield. A year ago potatoes were ony 3 wholesale at 40 and per bu. ; at present theyare bringing 65 and 75c, a price high enough to encourage importations.’’ ON THE STREET. iz pr [ | mask "4 wo opty be ‘ open.

Yorx«, Noy, 6.—The diagnosis which de a wégk ago of the motives which in- ‘Messrs. Frank Jones and Charlies A. ‘to dispose of their holdings of Boston 3 ® stock to the syndicate of Phila- @elphia speculators headed by President ‘McLeod of the Reading Co. and the motives Which induced the latter to buy these hold- ings hag been borne out by amass of ev!- @ence obtained by arepresentative of this Bp r in Boston and. other parts of New dling The readers of the Post-DispaTca @fe now pretty well informed on the subject Of Gones ana Sinclair and their relations to the Boston & Maine railroad. They also Bnew why the Philadelphia speculators went nto Boston & Maine and put McLeod in as President. ‘The next step in the programme, namely, the ascendency of Mr. McLeod tothe pres!t- Gency of the New York & New England, has mot yet taken place. Withinthe past day or twoanidea bas gained . prevalence that Mr. Parsons may not resign atter all. There Seems tobe some doubt as to whether the Philadelphia speculators do really bold con- trol of New England stock. If they do not ana - 9 mot succeed in placating, asthe phrase is, _ W#regident Parsons, they may find trouble in _ garryingouttheirplan. Mr. Parsons is nota Waan to be bullied. Moreover he went into the New England road, not so far as can be as- certained to dickeria the stock, but to make the property really valuableif possible. If he can sell now at afair profit, presumably he will. Otherwise he will not unless he has to, He is constantly making experiments with a view to increasing the business of the road. Sometime ago we told of his route for freight from Brewsters to Fishkill across the fiver to Newburg and down by the West Shore and acrosstheferry to this city. He has discontinued that now aad during the past week has opened anew route similar to Axggt except that the Erle tracks are used m Newburg instead of the West Shore, hereby saying switch c¢ harges whieh for- merly hadto be paid the Eris at Newburg. As by this route the haul from Brewsters to this city is nearly twice as long asthe haul from Brewsters tothis city by the New York & Northern, itis not appirent where the ad- ‘Vantagecomes in. But these things show that Mr. Parsons is working on the property. Any real future for the New icngiand seems as faraway asever, The encroachments of the New York, New Hampshire & Hartford during the last year have weakened its Strategic position materially. In fact it seems yery probable that the managers of the Reading and the Boston & Maine may find ita comparatively easy matter to pia- _ ate Mr. Parsons, if sucha step is necessary. For while practical railroad mem can see no reasons for the recent combination other than speculative ones, it would seem that fromthe New England poirt of view, co- operation with the Reading, Boston & Maine management is a good thing. The New Engilard already has much of the Reading’s traffic, and amicable relations with that road and the Boston & Maine are plainly desirable. If the Philadelphia syndicate really had any reasons for the recent undertakings other than speculative ones, they are inconcelv- abie. If Mr. McLeod really has an idea of increasing the Reading’s traffic and strength- ening the position of the coal combination in that way, such idea is an iridescent dream. Probably when a man surrounds himself with such a glamour of vanity as has Mr. McLeod the facts of everyday life are borne to his vision colored by the bright . glintings: of that glamour. ut financiers who see things as they are ke different views. They see evidence accumulating on every side that the coal combination is doomed. They see an accumuiation of coal in excess of the de- mand. They see cutting of prices among the companieS and the whole power of the courts, the law makers and public opinion directly against the combination. The great Coal combination is now little orethan aname, It corresponds with the .Weste Yrafc Association during the last ear ofitexistence. Should the present win- ter be as miid one, the anthracite coal trade would be in avery Dad condition, Al- though the present campaign has been un- ented in the NMxehtness of its effects pon commercial and financiai affairs, it was ertheless inevitable that during the few § prior to a contest for the control of the ernment of this country, business and ce must be influenced. lities has engrossed attention this week financial affairs have been neglected. actively speculative portion of Wall combined the two elements and s changed its speculative yround from finance politics.

The Local Financial Situation and Other Topics of Interest. re RSMES hey tye ‘mil is Asan election approaches it has been cus- : tomary to put off new enterprises, but this is noticeably less this year than formerly. Ail kinds of business are active. The banks have more thanthe usuallinesof loansout and report a good demand for money from all sources. An evidence of the activity in general trade is the increase in this demand during the past six months, During that time the situ- ation has changed from money beinga crug atG per cent fo an active demand at7 to percent. The principal cause forthis 1s the aciivewovement of wain to market and the large accumulation of itin St. Louls, where the stock is larger than ever known at this season ofthe year. The improvement of real estate, too, has been unusually active, and large sums of money are being used in this channel. The approaching election, so far as >t. Louls is concerned, has had little, if any, depressing effect on the general trade. Gaylord, Blessing & Co., in their circular letter, review the situation in Wall street Saturday: The stock market has been steady, with scarcely any business except in Chicago Gasand Whisky. Itlooksas if the pool in the latter was liquidating and the public seems inclined to buy at these prices. Ifthe pool in this stock can liquidate successfully there will be a drop some day painful to the outsiders who have bought their stock at these prices, which are higher than the con- dition of the company warrants, Chicago Gas isina different position; it is exceed- 4 ingly prosperous, with a very bright outlook | forthe future;6 per cent uividends on it seem assured for the present. There was scarcely any tradingin railway stocks. The undertone of the market was sirong. ‘The bank statement was unfavorabie, and the Gemand formoney continues quite heavy; the foretgn houses seem willing to loan, how- ever, when money on call is wanted at 6 per cent. The sentiment oftraders is undowbt- eijly bullish. There will be very littie done until after election. Sales, 113,000 shares. Chicago Market Letter. CuIcaca, Iil,, Noy. #%—The Board of Trade markets started without any—wunusual features. There was some weakness in grain markets and some strength in the provisions markets, After the regular morning de- ciines the wheat and corn markets made a fair recovery to better than Friday’s closing prices. teceipts for the day were lighter than expected all around. The wheat market again went through the see-saw action of previous days. The opening was weaker, followed by a fur- ther decline, and this was followed by a good recovery, putting prices over the _ cilosing figures of Friday. ‘lhe Dec. sold 7ilee to 71igc and rallied to 7i#c. May soid 775sc and Tee aad firmed to 7744c. The early weakness was caused by two things: First, the cabies were weaker, with spot and futures at Liverpool !2d lower; sec- ond, the Northwest had the enormous re- ceipts of 1,096 cars at the two markets, where there were 887 cars the same day last year. Theexports of both oats, wheat and flour were nutup to the expectation, at 3,715,000 bu, compared with over 4,00,000 bu last week. On the late buying wheat touched 72c for Dec., closing 7ligc seller; May closing at the besc point at 77%ec. Charters were 85,000 bu, and the Buffalo rate was advanced to z%&c. There was a repetition of the every day tactics in the corn pit. The local traders thought they saw reasons for selling eariy and put prices of %4@ locas usual. Then one or two Dig houses bought freely and the crowd tried to get some ofthe corn back. This was the action of the trade up tothe last hour. Corn closed 40%c for Noy., 4l44c Dec.; May touched 46con the late buying, closing 46c seller. Charters were 205,000 bu at 2)ec. The oat traders experienced a dull and un- eventful session, the market following the fluctuations of corn pretty closely and cios- ing from 4sc to \e higher. Nov. closed nominally at 30\s@sulge, the high point of the session, Dec. ranged from élec to 314 @31%c, closing with Sellers at the outside amount, May opened at 35c, weakened to 84%Cc rallied to #55sc and closed at 35% @35%sc. There was a siow but very healthful provis- jon trade most of the session. Prices started ata slight advance and were put gradually higher untilthe gain over Friday Was 1c to i2'esc in lard and ribs and 20c or morein mess pork. Jan. products soid 18.20c to 15,40¢ pork, 7.6742c to 7.75¢ lard and G.77l¢c to 6.85e¢ short ribs. The early months in lard were es- pecially strong, with the Nov. up to 8.55¢ and Dec. from _ 87.80c to 8.07lec_ be- fore lo’clock. * ANOTHER circus at the Globe rebuilding sale, 701to 713 Franklin avenue, for three days only—$i.50 Swits Candi fancy wool, merino, camel’s hair and balbriggan under- wear, 95c; $3 all-wool Jersey Coats, $1,95; $1.50embroidered bosom full dress shirts, 95c.

The Lest Chance Shipments—The Silver Cord Tunnel~-The Virginius Lease— Work On the Pocahontas—Shipments From the Crown Point-—Local Notes, LEADVILLE, Colo., Nov. 5—The smelters are ‘doing an immense business, and the outlook for a big winter’s work is very good. Your correspondent te-day visited one of the largest plants here, the American smelter, and found that they, as welilas the six other smelters here, had allthe ore they needed. The American is running six stacks and handles about three hupdred tons of ore daily. Reporte from all the outlying districts in- dicate that there is much activity all along the line. At the Last Chance property from forty to fifty tons of leadoreis being mined and shipped. The Lime King has been retim- bered and other improvements have been made. This work is preparatory toa vigor- ous winter campaign. The mine has latin idle for two years, but has now been taken hold of by a strong company. The big tunnel of the Silver Cord property, working four months, has been proven a suc- cess. There are thousands of tons of lower grade orein the Silver Cord which, without the tunnei, would be worthiess, It is now being treated and nets a nice profit, The mill produees from twenty- eight to fifty tons of eoncentrates. About ninety-five tons per day of milling ore is belng produced, and this is taken from the Ottawa and Smuggler ore chutes, Although the bedies of ore now being handled are of low grade it is the beilef that pockets of very rich stuif will be encountered in these work- ings. The Virginus is now working under lease, and the indications are very good. At pres- ent shipmentsof high grade sulphides are being made occasionally. The Venture, Tiger, West Point and Gunni- son, all lying adjacent, are being worked this season. In allof them new ground is being openedup, and shipments, although only fair, are being made regularly. Ex-President Dwight of the American Na- tional Bank ofth!s city has hold of the ceie- brated Bartlett mine, and the shaft ig pretty wellunwatered. There is every reason to believe that this property will soon become a regular producer, and when it does it will be a leading shipper. THE POCAHONTAS DRAINED. The Pocahontas is now in excellent paar. having been cleared of water. e- cently, while carrying some stoping in one of the levels some small stringers of chlorides were met with. Someassays from this stuff gave 60) ounces of silver per ton andthe chances are that a first-class body of mineral will shortiy be uncovered. Preparations are going forward for an active resumption of shipments on the Grey Eagie. Adriftisnow belyg run to connect with the Pocahontas. The Pawnolas people are now ip good iron ore and inaddition have forty feetof fine stoping ground. Shipments are rapidiy in- ‘ereasing and within two weeks will average forty tons dally. Onthe Crown Pointa bigforceis at work and shipments average twenty tons per day of first-class carbonates. A number of stringers of fine earbonate ore have recently been met with in the Carbon- ate Mine, anditis the general belief thata good body of this same stuff will soon be caught. Thecontacthas been reached, and drifting is going on in all directions. The Penrose people are about clear of wa- ter, and will soon be drifting for the ore body that is known to exist in that property. The general condition of the Doris mine is good, and the ore bodies recently opened out are holding out well, Operations are being carried oninthree different ore bodies, the mineralisofa good grade, and shipments are steady, THE SIXTH STREET SHAFT. The immense amount of water in the Sixth Street shaft is now being taken out at the rate of 900 gallons per minute and it Is expected that the shaft will soon be in mineral again after being ‘‘drowned’’ for eighteen months, At Red Cliff district good work in all the mines is yoing forward. The Cleopatra shipped five carloads of fine ore this week. In the Beiden there its lots of good ore in sight, while up abovethe ore bins are filled ready for shipments. P The extensive development work in the Smuggler mine at Aspen has proven the won- derful richness of that great property. The mine is literally a mass of glittering riches. A steady output is being maintained but Manager Hallett states that he can at any time double the output. In one level—the third—the ore body is 110 feet thick and some ofitis very heavily impregnated with pure stiver. The Mollie Gibson, located in the Aspen district, is now taking out some of the richest ore ever mined in that camp. It is no longer a question of capacity with the Mollie Gibson, aad itis as possible for the mine to produce $500,000 a month as $100,000. It is onty a question of how much the management are willing to seli with silver at 85 cents. A big strixe was made recently on Lookout Mountatn, nerr Sliverton. The new discovery was made by some poor prospectors. They have a solid streak of Very rich mineral fifteen inches wide in the vein opened up. MISSOURI MINES.

The Question Clinton Willetts Is Now Trying to Have Answered. CHICAGO, Ill., No¥.5.—The strange case of Clinton Willetts was told to-day by his coun- sel, Jas. W. Drouillard, the lawyer engaged to decide whether Mr, Willetts had married his own daughter. About forty-five years ago Mr. Willetts was married to Miss Mamie Evans at Erie, Pa. He was but 17, while she was just turning16. A baby girl was born. As time passed dissensions were frequent. One night when young Mr. Willetts returned from. his work his wife and little child were gone. He waitedin vain for them to return and when four years passed away he gave them up (forever, Shortly afterward he heard that his wife had died. Six years after his wife deserted him Mr. Willetts married Caroline Stevens, a young girl whose parents resided in a small town adjoining Erie. Inless thantwo years a son was ven to him but his wife was taken away. The child grew and when 17 years old he ontered the employ of the firm of iarding, Davis & Co., wholesale hardware dealers in Pittsburg, Pa. In a few years he was sent on the road by the firm. Inthe meantime the father moved to | Pittsburg and took up his residé@nce with his son. On Christmas, 1860, his son married Miss Helen Wright, an orphan, in Cleveland. Mr. Willetts took a strange fancy to his son’s bride and as time flew on it was difficult to say which loved her the most, father or son. For twenty-eight years the couple lived hap- pily together and old Mr. Willetts seemed contented. On Dec. 18, 1888, George Willetts died. He left his wife consid- erable money and made his father promise always to takecareof her. A few months after his son’s death Mr. Willetts and his daughter-in-law went abroad. A singular attachment had sprung up between them and Jan, 18, 1890, they were married in West Kensington, London, England, by Wayne McLeonard, an Episcopal minister. Shortly afterward they returned to Americaand de- voted considerable time to travel. Occa- sionally .rs. Willetts told her husbana little incidents of her past life and many a time he was struck by something strangely familiar in her manner and her lifeasachild. A few months ago the possi- bility that he had married his own daughter began to dawn upon the mind of Mr. Willetts ana he was forced to Dbeileve that his wife was the little ee who was born to him many yearsago in Erie, Pa. Since then he has learned that his first wife, after Jeserting him, went to Cleveland, ‘)., where in less than seven years she marrieda man named John Wright.

Mrs. Cornelius Tompkins, one of the Benoist heirs, owns the property, and it has been leased by her trustee for $10,000a year net. Thisis5 per centona valuation of $200,000, or nearly $3,000 a foot for the Eighth street frontage. Every apart- ment of this property is now occupied at good rentals and some of the tenants have leases with an unexpired term of about two years, One of the conditions of the ninety-nine year lease is that the old structures shall be torn away anda fine building erected upon the site within a stated period. Local parties will take the lease, They may make the improvement called for or sell the lease to some one who will put up the building re- quired on this valuable corner as soon as the i present tenants can be induced to vacate the premises. Inany event a $300,000 building is insured for the corner of Eighth and Pine streets. The northeast cornerof Ninthand Pine, where the Hvery stable stands, is under control of Charles H. Gleason, and he is per- fecting arrangements to put a large building on tne site. Mrs. Preston Player and Dexter Tiffany own the northwest cor nerof Ninth and Pine, and negotiations are pending for the improvement of that prop- erty with a fine hotel structure, to be Known asthe Hoifman House. Two blocks farther north on Eighth street, at the northwest cor- ner of Locust, a $750,000 hotel structure is to be erected on Mrs, Lucy V. Semple Ames’ property, 92x130 feet, and the house to be built basalready been engaged under lease to Roth Bros. of Oincinnati, Imme- diately opposite, on the southeast corner of Eighth and Locust, the Hammett-Anderson- Wade Real Estate Co, is completinga very fine eight-story building, and another,at the southwest corner of Tenth street, is to be erected by the Mekeel Print- ing Co. Dr. Thomas O’Rellly has commenced work on an $80,000 buliding, which he jis going to erect on the northwest corner of Ninth street and Lucas avenue, and EKdward Mal- linkrodt is excavating fora $300,000 building on the northwest corner of Ninth street and Washington avenue, Atthe northeast cor ner of Ninthand Washington avenue Edward Martin has the work well under way for his $200,000 bullding. Capt. Thomas T, Turner has broken ground for a fine business improvement on the northeast corner of Twelfth and Market street, and in a few days contracts are to be let for the construction of a large grocery house on the west side of Sixth street, south of Chestnut, for David Nichol- son, who is going to rebuild on that old site. A recent ninety-nine-year lease of the south- east corner of Eighth and Olive streets calls for a fourteen-story building on that proper- ty, opposite the Custom-house, within the next three years, anda very large building is to be commenced shortly 9n the southeast corner of Fourth street and Washington ave- nue for the Collier estate, in place of the old four-story structure thut now stands there. On Grand avenue, a seven-story family hotel constructed over an arcade designed for business purposesisto be bulltonthe east side, between Easton and Cozzens ave- nues. Ground for this im prove- ment has been secured and plans forthe building, whichis to be com- mencedthis winter, are already well ad- vanced. The site, 75x125 feet, has been pur- chased for the building at $110 a foot by M. E. Hogan of Altamont, Ill., from the Shields estate, represented by Mr. B. F. Shields, J. H. simpson acting as trustee. The extensive character of these projected improvements in addition to about twenty: five other very large commercia)] and office structures now in course of construction in the business center has already strengthened values a great deal alilthrough the principal wholesale and retail sections, andthe effect of so many great building enterprises calling for theinvestment of large sums of money also enhances the value of residence proper- ty well out toward the city limits. The re. fiex of such transactions gives tone to the entire real estate market, for they show that capitalists have an unbounded faith in the present and future prosperity of §t. Louis.

Very Confident That Warner Will Suc- coed — Maffitt, Salmon and Cook on Stone’s Chances—How the Situation is .Considered in the City. The leaders of all the political committees in the city are hard at work figuring and _ guessingon Tuesday’s vote, which all sides agree will be heavy. The registration, as it will appear in the books for use at Tues- day’s election, amounts in exact fig- ‘ures to 87,331, and of this number it is expected that at least 82,000 votes will be polled. Which of the par- ties will receive the bulk of this vote is what the campaign managers are now trying to ascertain, and they are figuring with all their mathematical energy. Both of the city committees have made ward canvasses and both are claiming everything. There is nothing new in this, however, as there never was a political campaign when a com- mittee leader would concede victory to the opposition. The Republicans, however, are making the most extraordinary claims, The State and city: committees are even claim- ing that Warner will defeat Stone for the governorship, and that he will ‘carry the city by an immense ma- jority. The Democrats onthe other hand smile at these claims and say Bothwell and his assistants will Khow better by 12 o’clock Tuesday night. Thereturns will then show just how near they were correctin their guesses. COMMITTEEMEN EXPRESS THEMSELVES. The views of the leaders as expressed by themselves over their own signatures for the SUNDAY Post: DISPATCH will be read with in- terest. As will be readily seen there is a wide range in the views of the opposing sides. PRATHER’S PREDICTION. I believe the E Democrac election next Tuesday for the following reasons: There has nothing occurred since the congressional election of 1890 to change the people on tariff is- sues. I do not fear the proteetion money that is be- ing fried out of Carnegie and others. I have too much confidencein the honesty of the American voter, and the Australian system makes the voter independent. Mr. Cleveland is the most popular man offered for the suffrages of the people since Grant, andhe will be elected. JOHN G. PRATHER. The followlng is the forecast of C. C. Maf- fitt, Chairman of the State Committee: You ask me whatI think of the situstien in Mis- souri. Uur entire State tick*t will be elected by substantial pluralities. C. C, MAFFITT, Chairman. MAJ SALMON’S UPINION. Harvey M. Salmon, Chairman of the Exec- utive Committee of the State Committee, writes: HEADQUARTERS STATE DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE. The situation in Missouri is Democratic by a large plufality. We will elect Cleveland, Stone and every body else on the ticket by nice pluralities. H. M. SALMON, Chairman Executive Committee. SECRETARY COOK’S VIEW. Secretary Cook of the State Democratic Committee writes: HEADQUA RTES STATE DEMOCRATIC COMMITTE. I have no hesitancy in sayinpg thatIcorsider the situation entirely satisfactory. Our friends will be outinforee next Tuesday and that means a sub- stantiai plurality for the 4 ticket. . B.

He writes: HEADQUARTERS REPUBLICAN STATE CENTRAL My own impression ofthe situation in Missouri is that y William Warner will be elected Governor; that the Republicans will elect four a that at te witha COMMITTEE. reasonable hope of three more and that at least two other names on the State ticket will be very close. L. M,. HALL, Secretary. ROHLFING’S BIG ESTIMATES. The situation in the city is thus sized up by Secretary Rohlfing of the City Central Com- mittee: HEADQUARTERS REPUBLICAN CITY CENTRAL COMMITTEE. You ask me what I think of our chances in the city contest. Ican state candidly that I believe our en- tire city ticket will be oseated, one that Maj, Warner will get between 8, and 12,000 majority. We hate not, in my judgment been treated with exact fatrness by the Board of Revision and Review, but despite ali we will land victors in most satisfactory form after the votes are counted Tuesday night, C. H. F. ROHLFING, Secretary. CHAIRMAN LUTZ CONFIDENT. Chairman Lutz of the Democratic City Cen- tral Committee writes: HEADQUARTERS Lo peggy CITY CENTRAL COMMITTEE. As I said at the outset of the canvass the plan of our organization has been to make a still hunt. That means a moreea> precinct canvass and organization. We have worked on that line, and have not made as much bluster or noise asthe other side. We hope to get out.every vote and elect our entire ticket... Col. Stone will run with the ticket, and will carry a majority of the city votes. That is my opinion, and it is based on actual and reliable observations. FRANK J. LUTZ, Chairman. Every candidate on both tickets who ex- pressed himself yesterday said he was satis- fled of success. They areall hard at work, however, and all say they will keep up the lick until the polls close Tuesday night. To the Voters of St. Louis. I wish to announce that, without my knowledge or consent, myname has been placed on the People’s ticket for the office of Sheriff. I have protested against using my namein this connection, and warn any and all my friends not to be deceived by said ticket. I will vote for Patrick M. Staed,a gentleman whose recordin office should re- elect him Sheriff of 8t. Louis. Respectfully, JOHN PAULY. Taglioni and Her Husband. In 1852 Taglioni was at a dinner atthe Comte de Morny’s. Justas they were sitting down to the table her former husband, Comte Gil- bert de Volsins, came in and took the seat which was reserved for him. He was evi- dently not aware ofthe presence of his wife, for after a few minutes he asked his neigh- bor, pointing to her, ‘‘Who Is this gov- erness-looking old maid?’’ His neighbor told him it was Taglioni. He showed neither surprise nor emotion, but seemed to be con- sulting his recollection ; then he. said: ‘‘Is it? It may be after all,’’ and went on eating his dinner. His wife acted less diplomatically. She recognized him at once and made a re- mark to her hostina sufficiently loud voice to be everheard, Nevertheless Comte Gilbert, whether from deviltry or from a wish to be polite, went up to her after dinner with a friend, who intro- duced him as formally asif he and she had never seen one another. Taglioni made a stately bow. ‘‘Ilam under the impression,’’ she sald, ‘‘that I have had the honor of meet- ing you before, about the year 1832.’’ With this she turned away. Flannel Cakes. Flannel cakes should be prepared over night. Mix one quartof new milk, three tablespoonfuls of yeast and one teaspoonful of salt with enough flour to make a stiff batter.

FIRED AT PRIESTS, An Attempt to Assassinate Two East : St. Louis Clergymen. THREE SHOTS DISCHARGED AT THEM BY AMBROSE HARTMAN. Fathers Harkins and Koenig Were Seated in St. Mary’s Parsonage When Fired at Through the Window—Hartman, When Arrested, Feigns Drunkenness—Politi- cal Meetings in Belleville. A mysterious attemptto assassinate two Catholic priests of East St. Louls was made yesterday afternoon by ayoung man named Ambrose Hartman, a telegraph operator, who lives at 1505 Gaty avenue, Hartman at- tempted to kill Father Christoph Koenig, pas- tor of St. Henry’s Church on Broadway, and Father John Harkins of St. Mary’s Church on Brady avenue, Father Harkins paida visit to Father Koenig yesterday afternoon, and while they were seated.in a front roomof St. Henry’s parsonage adjoining the church Hartman appeared at a window and looked in. Sesing the two . priests, he raised a revolver to the glass and firedthree shots directly atthem, but failed tolnjureeither, After firing the shots he turned and ran toward his homeon Gaty avenue, Persons who had heard the shooting, among others ex- Police Officer John Parle, saw Harring- ton running away fromthe parsonage and supposing that something was wrong, gave chase. Parle ovehauled Hartman and turned him over tothe police. Hartman was taken, to the station and searched. He was either intoxicated or feigning inebriation. He re- fused to any explanation of ye and from his actions appeared to be demented.

In the dispatches from Buffalo last Wednes- day it was stated that the Empire State Ex- press on the New York Central Road had beaten the world’s record forfast time and had actually covered ten miles of the road at the rate of ninety-fiVe miles an hour. This great speed is equal to the flight ofthe fastest bird, the teal duck, which Is credited with a speed of ninety miles an hour, and as fast as a tornado. This announcement, coming as it does, when the papers of Chicago and Sst. Louls are full of discussions of the Electric Air Line between St. Louis and Chicago—the first road inthe world to proposea schedule of 100 miles an hour—has an important bearin on the possibility of the great rate of spee by the company now building the electric road. Until lately, eighty miles, or oo eighty-three, haa been the fastest time ma by any railroad, andthis speed of ninety- five milesan hour for ten miles, by a com- plete train, weighing in the neighborhood of 175 tons, and running over difficult grades, throws new light upon the question of at- tainable speeds,and givessome data from which to work and figure for the future. The complete and authentic record of this run has not been published, but probably the train consisted of an 80-ton locomotive of somewhere about 1,000 indicated nee Soh and drawing a train of five cars wel hing In the neighborhood of twenty tons each, mak- ing atotal weight nearly 175 tons to 1,000 horsepower. From the nature of a locomo- tive there is, necessarily, a great waste of power, fora horizontal forward and back- ward motion is converted into a rota motion by means of a piston and cran which, besides running with a very apprecia- ble friction, baveto have their direction of motion reversed twice in every revolution, _ being of heavy weight, the energy neces- | ref to overcome the inertia is very great, is a dead loss with respect to moving the seein. When it is considered that the —— & St. Louis Eiectric Railroad intends usin train of but one long car, having the weight of one-tenth or less the weight of the Empire State Express, andatthe sametime having electric motors of 500 horse-power, and in which no energy is lost in cylinder friction andin reversals of motion, but the entire power is plied directly to the driving- wheels without intermediate motion or mechanism and is as simple as a fiy-wheel, orasif the power were applied to a rope wound round a drum—it seems that compari- son of power and weight makes it probable that 100 miles an hour is buta moderate claim for such an electrical train. The question of safety in this fast-running electric train seems decisively answered by the great speed already attained in an or- dinary steam train, for in both cases there is a standard road- bed of 70- pound rails and, in the matter of construction, all the points are in favor of the electric car. For, while in a steam train, the centerof gravity is not only above the axle, but high above the trucks— in the electric car, of but nine feet in height, the center of gravity is not only below the level of the top of the truck, but is also be- low the axle Besides this, in the steam locomotive there is a very strong twisting action upon the train when the power is applied on two sides of a locomotive—sometimes in different directions, as, for instance, when the right- hand piston is pushing while the left one is _—* Anda, again, there is an up and wh pounding in a loconfotive due to the counter-balance on the driving wheels, and also to an up and down thrust by the con- necting rods pushing upand down, as the case may be, upon the cranks. All of this irregular motion is, however, absent in the electric train, for here the power is applied as simply as the boy applies the power when spinning his bok Considering allthese points it would seem thatas of 100 miles an hour for an elec- tric car is no exaggerated claim, and as re- gards safety 100 miles an hour on the electric air line to Chicago would be much safer than on any steam railroadin the country, even when the steam train was runningat a less rate ofspeed. Andit further demonstrates that when the Chicago & 8st. Louis Electric Railroad people proposed their schedule time of 100 miles an hour, they were not fiying in ethereal speculation, but were figuring spon mundane facts and mechanical posstbilitle 3 which they evidently understood others even thought of it.

New Yorn, Nov, 5.—A correspondent at Paracas, Venezuela, writes under date of - Det. 29: ‘*The most important decree Crespo ~ pas yet given is this, issued to-day: ‘**Considering, first, that to insure Jhroughout future generations greater re- gpect for the law of the land and the sov- preign rights of the peopie of the nation, it is absolutely mecessary to place the responsl- bility for the late war where it properly be- longs, to show the world that usurpers of pxecutive power, in violation of constitution andlaw, andtheir satellites may not tram- pie with impunity upon the sacred privileges pf.a free democracy. Second, that Dr. Raimundo Andueza-Palacio, members of the Donsejo Federal who acted with and sustained him, as well as those Presidents of Btates, Senators and deputies of the National Dongress and other civil and military officials pf the government who aided and abetted the first named in his plans of usurpation, gre hereby declared traitors to the Republic . »provokers by their illegal acts of one of the bloodiest civil conflicts within Venezuelan history. Third, That justice demands the confisca- tion ofthe property of said usurper and his accomplices in crime, and that the same be made to contribute to the payment of ‘the expemses of the revolution and ws lo the indemnification of those loyal defenders justice and Jaw, whose per- sonal interestSbave suffered from acts of In- Justice upon the part of the usurpation. Therefore, in use of the faculties conferred upon me by the national revolution I de- tree. First.

Jose Man- uel Herandez to the civil and military government of Bolivar and the Orinoco Territories is significant. He has ever taken an active ars in opposition to British aggression. ‘hile Commander of the Plaza at one of the frontier towns some time ago, he became so obnoxious to the intruders in his district that d afraid thit trouble British Government might grow out ofthe affair, suspended him from command and had him brought a pris- oner to Caracas, where he was kept for months closely confined in La Rotunda. TheFederal Supreme Court Mas been re- constituted as follows: Chief Justice—Febres-Cordero. Associate Justices—Mago, Gordon, Pacha- no, Zefrez, Garate, Viscarrondo, Leon and Gano- Bustamante. The legalista and arms ship South Portiand steamed quietly into the harbor of La Guayra on the evening of Oct. 20 and dropped anchor just under the lea of the Kearsarge. She flew the American flag and brought a clean bill of heaith from Port of Spain,. Trinidad, Admiral Walker sent an officer alongside Im- mediately to interrogate Capt. smith. **From New York via Trinidad, with arms,’’ was the ready answer of the skipper, ‘’and consigned to the Venezuelan government.’’ The Chicago officers pulled back toward the big white warship apparently satisfied, anu the new arrival was next boarded by the custom - house officers, who had come off to welcome the long looked for munitions of war. Capt. Smith declined to proceed with the discharge of his cargo when he was directed by a GOovV- ernment official to do sO upon the ground that he must first consult with Senor Gonzalez’s local representative, and thus another day was lost. It seems that Gonzalez still owed the vessel’s ownersa portion of the charter money, and it was the captain’s determination not to land the goods until he bad the money inhand. During theafternoon it began to be whispered about La Guayra that the Goverment had decided not to receive the arms, as having arrivedtoo late to be of any service whatever tothe revolution, and that Gonzalz’strip to Heayti from Curacoa, in- stead of coming direct to Puerto Cabello from New York, had seme connection with the revolution about to break out in Cuba A proposition had been made by wealthy Cubans to Gonzales to take both the South Portiand’s charter option and her cargo off his hands in case Gen. Crespo falled to buy it, but he had very recently understood that the government at Caracas had decided to take them. The excitement blew over, and the following morning Senor Quantro, a partner of Senor Gonzalez, appeared upon the scene armed with the latter’s powers of - attorney. The gentiemen quickly arranged the financial question, then came Don Louis Crespo,a brother of Gen. Crespo, from Caracas, with an order to receive the vessel’s cargo upon behalf of the Government, The South Portland came alongside the dock atonce, and her cargo was soon put ashore, It was supposed that the Government here would take advantage of Gonzalez’s charter option and retain the South Portland another month, usiug her asa transport to take troops to Maracaibo and Los Andes and Gen, Crespo’s brother, and that such was his intention, but it seems that in addition to COULD NOT REFORM. nai of Essie Davis to Lead a Better Life. ; BATTLE BETWEEN HER GOOD AND EVIL NATURES FOR SUPREMACY. The Wayward Beauty Entered Convents Several Times, but Could Not Remagin— On Three Occasions She Was Driven by Remorse to Attempt Suicide—Shunned by Her Childhood Associates, Brilliant and beautiful Essie Davis, who was stabbed to death in Louisville by her jealous husband last Tuesday night, meta death that often threatened her during the past twelve years of her eventful life. Her death put an end toa long battle between her better self and her evil inclinations, which if continued much longer would prob- ably have been ended by her own hand, as she hadtried to enditthree times before. Her life is an interesting study owing to her numerous attempgs to secure the mastery over herself and her frequent falls. While leading the life of a wanton she aimed to become the most notor- ious of her class, and while hidden in seclusion in a convent, whether she went always voluntarily, she wasthe most fervent and sincere ofall who were trying to lead better lives, and was most gentle and rgfined in her bearing. The woman was the cuaughter of Judge Charles Eaves of Greenville, Ky., and her real name was Mirlam Eaves. Educated in the best schools in the Blue Grass State she graduated at the age of 17. She was also an accomplished vocalist and musician. She showed wonderful brilliancy in her studies and after leaving school she wasa belle in the society ofhernativetown.

Again Detective Hol found her willing toe where as before she the kind sisters and S very devout. complained of the bittefmess ofthe world for condemning her to seeial ostracism for her firstfall and dwelt on this thought until in des- peration she left the cOnventand again took ber ola life. She continued the life of a wanton for nearly a year when on the night of Feb. 2, 1890, ‘the seventh anniversary of the Glenn mur- der, she was found dying from an overdose of morphine. She was sentto the City Hos- pital, where they despaired of saving her life, but treated her nevertheless, and were re- warded by seeing a Spark of life. It was nearly a month before she was declared out of danger, and then the good sisters took charge of her, With careful nursing they gave her sufficient strength to make a journey to Milwaukee, where she expressed a wish to gO, and escape the friendships she had made here and the temptations. Her beloved friend, Sister Elizabeth, had been removed from St. Louls to Milwaukee, and she wanted to be near one whocould control her. She became a teacher of musizin the Milwaukee convent, and after a year she was promised that the white vellL would be given her .if she desired to stay and de- vote her life to the work of charity. She decided to give the remainder of her life to good work and renounee the world. The promised vell was aboutto be bestowed upon her when her mother wentto see her, bear- ing a letter fullof endearing terms from Al- bert Wing, who had been released from the penitentiary before his time on a pardon from Gov. Francis. Thoughts of the white veill and a life of seclusion vVan- ished, Her old love for ‘‘Bert’’ was revived and glowed witha greater intense- ness than ever before. She asked to see him, and soon after the departadre of the mother Judge Kaves made his appearance accom- panied by Wing. MARRIED WING. They truly loved one another andina few days were married in Milwaukee and re- turned to their old hometin Greenville. The marriage did not take place at the latter place as has been stated. Wing’s reputation was gone and he could get no position in the country roand about pay- ing him a sufficient salary to clothe and sup- port his wife properly. His crime and his Wife’s sin were hurled in his face wherever he went. But the couple were apparently happy in their own home, though poverty was something they had not known in their youth, A few weeks ago Mrs. left her husband ostensibly visit friends in Louisviile. She, however, entered a well-known resort there and either wrote a letter to her hus- band bidding him farewell. or else some one told himofheract. At any rate ne went to Loulsville and on the first day of his arrival met his wife riding In a carriage. He attacked herand would have killed her but for the driver. He calied at the house Where she was stopping and made up with her again. For about a week he called on her every day. Last Tuesday night he called as usual and wentto her room, A smothered scream was heard and Wing soon aiter ran down stairs and intothe street and made hisescape. When the inmates of the house pushed open the door they found pretty Essie Davis lying dead on the floor, with four knife wounds in her body. Axminster Carpets at $1.25 At J.

Snyder. SUPPOSED TO sn ** : - ba en $. roy ; Special “ _ New York, Nov. 2.—The most cunning and the most murderous on tie earth can be studied withimpunity at the Central Park Menagerie. Theelephant Tip, there, is the wickedest member living inthis country of the wickedest race that exists. But he does not care to hurt one who stands outside his bars and gazes at him respectfully. But go Inside the bars to ascertiaa his true character, as you can without difficulty, and you will probably not walk away. There is only one keeper in the menagerie who would go alone inside his cage, and that is the in- Even hesays he would not again take the risk that he took when he became Tip’s companion for life, The elephant is a sagacious and docile Deast and, when full grown, eats about four hundred pounds of vegetable food aday. Thatis Tip’s allowance. On these points the animal reporter of the Post-DIs- PATCH can agree with the accepted informa- tion about elephants, but not on many others. Not without pangs has he come to the conclusion that the elephant is neither an affectionate nor ae faith- fal beast. It ig docile only by grace ofthe pitchfork. Mr, William Synder has shattered one of the writer’s idals—the too lofty moral character of the elephant, The late Charies Reade may have shaken it, but be was notian animal keeper—or merely anovelist. Mr. Snydtr’s testimony must be accepted as final. The elephant, ft ts to be feared, is devoid of the moral sense. The elephant, according to the views of Mr. Snyder and Charlies Reade’s ‘‘Jack of All Trades,’’ isan animal so intelligent that It is impossible to say that itcannotreason, It Smashing Up His Home. ean kill a man by the application to him of any part of its person excepitthetall. Man is just large enough to be crushed with con- venience. A mouse, which the elenhant fears fora variety of reasons, is too small. A man might revive after beingsat upon by a lion. Asa matter offactatrainer has been often rudely shoved against the wall by a lion and escaped uninjured. But a comparatively trifling pressure from an elephant is suffi- cient. The elephant knowsallthis. Only its cowardice prevents it from taking advantage of its knowledge ina way that is uupleasant for human kind to contemplate. We will now consider three elephants—one the city’s animal Tip, the others, two.who existfor us in fiction, but who are surely portraits of real eiephants who have lived and broken up things. These are Djek of Charles Reade’s ‘‘Jackof All Trades,’’ and Moti Guj, the chief character of a short story by Rudyard Kipling, called ‘*Moti Guj, Mutl- neer.’’ Tip’s keeper confirms from his own experience the character givento Djek. Mr. Kipling’s interesting story is evidently writ- ten about anelephant which he knew, but this young author lacks true insight to ele- phant nature. Tip is a native of Asia, about 80 years of Age, and weighs fivetons. After making his debut in England he came tothis country and joined Forepaugh’s Circus. As faras is known he has killed eight persons, Most of ~\them were circus men, for he prefers to \ \. Bi 4 \ % Tip Eating Hay. mMangie those whotry to master him. Once, however, he killed a boy who ran Inside his ' enclosure at the circus, A tap with his trunk Gidit. Tip wasso thorough!y bad that Mr. Forepaugh, not being able to sell or keep him, generously gave him tothe city. At the menagerie he has never killed any- one, but he has destroyed property andis al- ways waiting foran opportunity to commit anartistic murder. Allwho know him say he is utterly depraved. Never fora brief mo- ment does he relaps2 intvu good humor, Some elephants are at times almost innocent, but heisnever. He shows no more gratitude for * two inches of stee!lin his ear than for a bale ofhay. A howl or a grow! is all the recog- nition Mr. Snyder receives for his kind ac- tions. Butonce a month, and sometimes oftener, he receives a chastisement with a pitchfork -prongin the balloftie eye does not affect for some devilishness and then Tip turns his nose into the cornerand howls. Snyder had him for two years before he learned the abso- lute necessity of giving him this treatment regularly. itis necessary to turn the steel into him untilhe is thoroughly perforated. There are elephants who may be easily chas- tised by striking them on the nails of the fore feet, or near the root of the tusks, where the nerves are. But Tipis not ofthis serc. Only cold steel avails. It is not easy to punish Tip by a front at- tack. Heisa master of the art of scientific self-defense, although he needs it less than any living animal. He can easily knock aside with a tusk a blow aimed at hishead, If the keeper aims for his eye with the pitchfork he shuts the eye prompti7 and receives little Asmali hole made with a pitchfork the elephant’s sight. Tip’s keeper, uf course, has no desiretodothat. Hehas a Drilliant yellow eye, by the way, whichis one of the signs of total depravity inan elephant. A brown-eyed elephant Is sometimes good tem- pered. . One day before Tip had made his mur- / @erous intention quite plain, Keeper Marron, who never goes near him bow, was admiais- lohan { “ge al Correspondence SUNDAY péer-misfiten. : ce oe Sa %,: ae iss! oo PDS hae is anit ot Nate Seis Sa a8 Set tees os 4 ao “ee ae | f ‘ta % Ts the ae = Ce ae ie Beng i aa Pr Sand 2 a . 2 : 3 of Te OY ahs _ = aes 8 a : .

The ends of hig six-feet tusks were long ago cut off. With these he would quickly and easily have clipped his cage to pieces, Ile does not care to bang the blunt ends azuinst the wooden walls. A favorite amuse- ment, however, is tounscrew with his trunk the nuts which hold the endsofthe great iron bars of his cage. His dexterity at this isadmirable and the bars have to be con- stantly screwed up. Ap’ayful habit ofthe elephant is to Knock knots out ofthe boards surounding it and so make little holes out of which it can peep with one wicked eye. Tip has looked for these, but has not been abie to find any. It would take pagestotellall the sins and vilenesses ofthis utterly worthless animal. Perhaps the only redeeming feature about him is a fondness for drink. A barrelof whisky is the only thing that will induce him tomake an exhibition of gladness. He only getsit when hehas a cold, and itis alleged that he seeks tocatch cold with the sole ob- jectofobtaining drink. One of the Central Park ponds filled with rum would please him. It is renssuring to know that he will not get it. Having filled himself to overflowing, he might recover from his habitual cowardice and start out to devastate the city. How cowardly he is may be understood from the fact that he is not only afraid of mice, but of Mr. Snyder’s little fox terrier Gyp, who sleeps with him. Gyp is perhaps the only living animal who has no fearof him. Elephants have perhaps some reason for disliking mice, because they run up their trunks. The resemblance in this respect of these animals to the gentler and more con- siderate balf of bumanity will be apparent, and it would not be polite to awell further on it. Tip is afraid of strange nolses, birds, storms, pieces of paper biowa by the wind and a hundred other things. ‘Vip will commit murder before he dies, say all who know him, Jt is the ambition of those persons to see the Sixty-ninth Reyxi- ment called out to execute him. For the present he js living a discontented but quiet life and is waiting a good opportunity to do some harm, Now observe how his character resembles that of the heroine of the late Mr. Reade’s ‘*Jack of All Trades.’’ This is told in the words of the circus man, the most interest- ing portion of whose life was spent with an elephantnamed Djek. When he first met her she was incharge of a man named Eliott, who was the only person who cou:d control her. They slept together andit was sup- posed a remarkable affection existed be- tween them. Elliott was of immense strength and in some respects a human ele- phant, which fact was attributed to the company he kept. Jack wished tu bean elephant trainer and watched Elliott. One day he overheard him administering coid steei to his dear friend. Then Jack’sturncame. Elliott being drunk soon after this, he took charge of Djek. ‘*Mlephants,’’ he says, ‘‘are criven witha rod of steel sharpened at theend. Abouta foct fromthe end of this weapon is a large hook, by sticking this hook into an elephant’s earand pulling it, you: make her sensible which way you want her to go and persuade her to comply. ‘*armed with this tool, I walked up to Djek’s shea and in the most harsh and brutal voice Icould command bade her come out, She moved inthe shed, but hesitated. . I re- peated the command and out she came to- words me Very slowly. ‘*With beasts such as lions, tigers and elephants, promptitude is thething. Think for them; don’t give them time to tiink, for their thoughts may be evil. I had learned this much, so lintroduced myself by driving the steel into Djek’s ribs and then hooking her ear, while Vippin looked down from.a first-story window. * * I had got what the French cali the riddle-key of Silie. Djek, and that key was ‘Steel!’’’ Many atime after that didhe give her cold steel. She injured him several times, but she killed those wind had done her’ no injury atali. She strewed the British isiands and the Kuropean continent with corpses. Her intelligence was inarvelous. She pulled herself out of scrapes where men could not heip her. At one place she knocked a small hole in the floor above her anu sucked down several sacks full of grain. She would put her eye to a Keyhole and look through. She was advertised as the elephant who bad saved her master from a Hloness, where- as she would have been very sorry to do any- thing of the sort, and her goodness and Kind - ness were the great features of the show. Her murders were «lways publicly attributed by the circus proprietors to lll treataunent on the partofthe victim ‘‘who had been re- peatedly warned,’’ while, as a matter of fact he was always a man who had never hurt her, ‘*Talk of the half-reasoning elephant,’’ Jack exclaims, ‘‘she seldom met a man that could match her in reasoning—to a bad end. Her weak points were ber crueity and her cowardice, and by this latter Tom Elllott and 1 governed her witharod of iron, -vul- garly called a pitchfork. If a mouse pattered about the floor in her stable Djek used to tremble ali overand whine with terror till the littie monster was gone. Diek went on her bloody way till at last she killed a foolish old clergyman at Geneva anda then she was arrested. She was tried and condemned to death after elaborate argu- ments on both sides. ‘+The man has committed nocrime,’’ said the elephant’s advocate. ‘‘He has com- mitted nocrime, he has been gullty of no want of caution. If therefore, you take upon yourselvestopunish the bruie, be hone:t! Buy her of the man first and then assert your suvlime office—destroy an animal that has offended morality.’’ But the other man brought out the factthat Djek was a hard. enedcriminal. ‘Soa cannon ball madean end of her. Mr. Kipling’s elephant Moti Guj was the strougest and most Intellizentelephant ina certain part of Indla. jsut he could be made to Work only by his m&ahout, Deesa,who Slept with him and who called him bis love and his life and the liver of his soul. Deesa sang songs between Mot! Guj’s legs and embraced and pounded him with great impartiality. Mr. Kipling particularizes the fact that Deesa was in the hauit of pounding Mot! Guj brutally onthe tender nails of his forefeelt. When Deesa was hopelessly drunk Moti Gu went offahd live. on young trees and th best things on the plantation and Jaughed to scorn allattempts to work him. thas been a i thing to say or repeat | many of these tering the pitchfork for an offense.

The emu sud- denly and neatly picked the stone out of it, and it was never seen again, Ren weighs probably about 150 pounds and stands six feet high. He is well accomodated at the menagerie with regard tospace. His handsome feathers arein very good condl- ion and he tsa credit to his keeper. When that person arrivesin the morning he usually finds Ben taking exercise. His manner is to throw out his chest and send forward his lege with great strides. It is something be- tween walking and running, and suggests very muchthe style ofa professional pedes- trian, Itis quite different from the ostrich’s method of exercising, of which more shall be saidanon. Ben keeps thisup for about half an hour and covers a great deal of ground. Atabout 9 o’clock he gets his breakfast, which consists of grass, bread and various vegetables. Corn is always among these, Afraid of a Mouse. and Mr. Holmes administers broken oyster shells with it. The shells are broken into two or three pieces. Ben will not eat them broken up very small. He likes egx shells as a delicacy, but he must have something more substantial as a regular thing. Both before ana after breakfast he takes a cold bath, for which purposs a trough of suit- able size is provided, In the winter months this bath is stopped. Ben thinks this is a hardship, but Keeper Holmes fears that cold baths in winter might bring on paralysis, heart disease or something of that kind. Mr. Holmes, who has a sincere affection for Ben, takes apples, egg shells and other trifies to him at various times during the day. At about 3 o’clock in the afternoon he gets his second meal. The emu hasa very handsome covering of feathels; hanasomer, indeed, than thatof the ostrich, but they areless avaliable for pur- poses Of feminine adornment. Two feathers grow OD one quill’ on the emu, as may be seen from the accompanying illustration. He has no wings—only feathered stumps.

Ordered the Suspens ion After an Bxhaustive Investigation of the Grave Charges Brought—Kolin In- terviewed—His Defense—His Future Movements Are Uncertai.. Omatta, Neb,, Nov. 5.—Father McCarty of St. Philomena Cathedral, who has been prominent in Catholic circles in Nebraska for fifteen years, was seen by a Post-DISPATCH -correspondent to-day and asked what he knew of Father Kolin. He gaia: Kolin came hereasa Bohemian priest and was assigned to Atkinson, Neb. Last year when Vicar-General Choka was in Europe Kolin came to Omaha to take his place. He had been here but a short time when Bishop Scannell heard rumors of his conduct that wasnot in keeping with his priestly calling and started an investigation, It was found that Kolin had been gullty of offenses of a grave character. Kolin was then removed from the church and was sent to the Monastery in Indiana. He staid there but a few months and left the church and has been since wandering around the country abusing the church that educated him and tried to make a man of him, Kolinin St. Louis. The sensation produced by the publication in Friday’s Post-DIsPatcHu of the part taken in Wednesday’s midweek services of Cente- nary M.E.Church South, by Rev, Chas. Kolin, wasthe talk of religious circles yesterday. Father Kolin was found at the Cherokee Hotel by a reporter, but was averse to additional publicity. He was informed, however, that a telegram had been received in this city from an Omaha priest which in eleven epigrammatie words placed him in avery pecullar light, andthe former priest laid aside his silencew He said that he was educated in a Catholic seminary in milwau- kee, Wis., and was ordained a priest in 148. He was stationed at Atkinson, Holt County, Neb., until June, 1891, and was then given charge of St. Wenceslaus Church, Omaha, in the ab- sence of the Vicar-General, Rey. Willfam Choka, who went to Europe. Father Kolin was pastor of 8t. Wenceslaus Church and Acting-Vicar-General of the dfocese, until Father Choka returned. Father Kolin, tn his statement yesterday,said that he had read the works of John Huss, a Bohemian reformer of the fifteenth century, and becoming im. bued with his notions of religion, preached Hussitism to the congregation of St. Wences- laus Chureh. He was accused of by his brother he continued D course. Toward the close of 1891, he stated, Father Choka returned and demanded of him, the transfer ofthe church, The people objected, and a riot ensued. Father Kolin says that the Vicar-Generalt became very jealous, and a few weeks after the riot, Father Kolin was officiaily informed that on account of a very grievous offense he was suspended from his priestly functions for one year. Atter some hesita- tfon the former priest said that about he same time his sister was violated by a priest of the diocese, who was absolutely expelled from the Catholic Chureh forthe heinous crime. Fr. Kolin says that his calumniators spread the report that the injured woman was not bis sister and that he was the gulity person. fie showed much resentment at the narra- tion of this incident. He said that he had Intendedto convert the members of St. Wenceslaus Churchto Hussitism and that when he was pigs Se they sent re- monstrances to the Pope and.to Bishop Scannel, from whom no satisfactory replies were obtained. He said that he did not ask to be received into Centenary Church last Wednesday, but expressed a decided sympathy for the doctrines of the Southern Methodist Church. He said that he would take at least four weeks to ponder over their dogmas, and would probably leave St. Loutsinafew days for Nashville, Tenn., tostudy at the Southern Methodist College inthatcity. He stated that he would become a minister of the denomination of his choice, WILLIAM ABLE @nd Charies Schofield were ar- rested by Officers Mickey and Konitz yesterday, on the charge of stealing a lot of lead pipe and two brass faucets fromthe Iron Muuntain Co.’s freight depot.

Hehbad incurred great dangers, but he was disguised as @ Mussulman and suc- ceededin his dangerous enterprise. Pelly did not assume any disguise. He started for central Arabiain the Uniform of a British officer, accompanied by two officers, an in- terpreter and domestic attendants. After his long desert march,lasting about a month, he arrived at Riyadh, etn A entered the town and applied for an audience with the blind Amir. He had several interviews with thig potentate and ostensibly was treated with much kindness. He found, however, that he was regarded as a prisoner, though the natives tried to put him completely at his ease, They believed they had him in their power and they proposed to play with him as a@cat with a mouse before they destroyed him. They had not the silghtest intention of permitting him to return to the coast. Pelly’s resources, however, were too much for them. He found some plausible pretext for going outside ofthe city with his escort one day and he never returned. The natives poreues him, but the superiority of his arms ept them ata distance. Before leaving the capital his party had filled their water skins. They accidentally discovered alter they left the city that the water had been poisoned, !t was impossible to drink a drop of it without risking their lives. On the way to the sea they suffered agonles of thirst, and the only relief they had was the slight re- freshment obtained by pouring the contents of their water skins over their wrists. The romantic daring of this expedition has not often been excee.led. UNITED STATES VOL CANOFS. Alaska and the Alcutian Islands the Vol- canic Region of the World. Prof. George Davison of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, who was one of the pioneer explorers of Alaska, takes a deep Interest in the recent reports of volcanic disturbances inthe farnorth. When seen by a San Fran- Cisco Chronicle man he said: ‘*There is really nothing remarkable about the recent volcanic disturbancesin Alaska, although the event is of Interest. The whole coast of Alaska out to the east ofthe Aleutian Islands ts the voicanic and glacial region of the world. Itis quite to be expected almost every week that some of the numerous vol- canoes along that rugged coast will break forth, fill the air with cinders, ashes and smoke and cover the glaciers with nasty DlacK sand and s500t. Chignik Bay, from which this last eruption was seen, is in latitude 56 deg. 19min., 20sec. north and longitude 158 deg. 24 min. 25 sec. west of Greenwich, on the southeast coast of the Veninsula of Alaska, opposite the Semidi Islands, and about 300 miles fromthe end of the peninsula. The observer could not have seen Black Peak as reported, for it is only twenty-four miles west-northwest from his position, He saw Mount Pavlof, on the west side of Paviof Bay, distant about 148 miles south, 42 deg. west, from Chigntk Bay. he man who was at Wesnessenski Island, lying off Paviof Bay, saw Pavlof Volcano, distant from him twenty-nine miles north, 68 deg. west. ‘‘Paviof is one of fifty volcanoes of the peninsula of Alaska ana the Aleutian Islands, of which twenty-five areina state of activ- ity, shown by smoking. Just west of Paviof, about tén miles, lies a cluster of peaks called Aghlleen pinnacles, which are all marked by craters. Pavlof is in lat 55 deg. 27 min. north, long. l16l1deg. 47 min. west, and it has two craters. In i76é4and in 1786, according to Rus- sian authorities, Paviof was active, in 1848 It was smokingand in 1867 I saw it smoking my- self. Pavioff is visible from all of the Shumagin Islands, of which Mepas isthe largest. The view is particularly good from Sand Harbor, on Megas Isiand. I shail not be surprised tolearn of more eruptions in that locality atany time, for, asl said be- fore, it isthe voicanic region of the whole world,’’ —_——— ———_ - C FC CU + — NEW CHOUTEAU SCHOOL. 4 Tt " ’ , ea Le se AA ‘ .

Omana, Neb., Nov. 5.—W. G. Pollock, the traveler for a New York house, who was robbed of $15,000 worth of diamonds ona Bioux City & Pacific train near Omaha last hight, was a member of the firmof W. L. Pollack & Co., importers of diamonds and manufacturers of diamond jewelry at No, 4 John street, New York. Mr. Pollock has sent the following dispatch to his firm: *‘Was shot by robbers on train ana lost caseof diamonds. Am not fatally or even very seriously injured. Particulars later.’’ .’ Mr. Pollock was insured in a diamond ‘surety company and the loss will be made good. The robber has not been located. Nearly 100 officers have been scouring the country in the vicinity where the robbery wgs com- mitted, allday. The spot where the robber Jumped off was closely examined. He went down anembankment of probably ten feet, alighted upright, but pitched over on his face, rolled overand over like a ball several times, when he recovered himself, sprang to his feet and ran swiftly off intoan ad- _ gacent cornfield, apparently none the worse for his startling acrobatic feat. Mr. Pollock did not feel much like talking after his painful experience, but to-day he said he was certain thatthe thief had been following him for the express purpose of robbing him of his jewels at the first oppor- tunity. He said thatat first he asked him for his money and he handed him a wallet containing $100. The robber replied that that was not what he was after and immediately opened fire. He seemed to know exactly where the diamonds were concealed and reached them at the first attempt. The passengers were too badly scared to render any assistance and Mr. Pollock congratulates himself that he got away alive. Every incident of the crime goes to show that the thief is a criminal of remarkable cleverness and nerve. He had studied the habits of his victim and caretully noted in which pocket he concealed his valuable samples. Even in the excitement of his escape he did not lose his nerve for an instant. Not one man ina thousand would have thought to release the air-brakes in the midst of such a race for lib- erty, but he had probably laid out his plan of action while waiting for his opportunity to committhe robbery and calculated that he would be able to sufficiently check the move- ment of the train toescape without difficulty. Inthis he was balked by the pursuit of the baggagemen. But capture, as before detailed,and did not flinch a hair as he leaped out from the flying train. He was lucky, too, for those who saw hisleap for liberty declare, that it could not be done successfully one timein a thousand. There are very slight clews to go upon, but what there are will be most sedulously and ener- getically worked. Chief Seavy, with Sergt. Ormsby at its head, hasa forceofhistrustlest men engaged on the case, and C, K. Eppels- heimer, Superintendent of the Kansas City department of the Pinkerton Agency, telegraphed Mr. Pollack that one of their shrewdest men would reach Omaha this evening and take charge of the case. This man, Mr. Pollock says, has never yet been balked In his work and he is especially employed by the Jewelers’ Pro- tective Association in this capacity. The robber Is thus described by Conductor Ash- more, who visited the city this morning: light complexion, smooth, small, short hair, weight about 130 or 140 pounds, height about 5 feet 6 inches, age 22 0r 23 years, wore a suit ofclothes which were notexactly gray but which are callel a ‘‘peper and sait,’’ sack coat, had drab overcoat, and wore soft black felt hat, medium width of rim, medium crown, COUNTERFEITER ARRESTED.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Nov. 5.—Sam Clay, the young man who robbed Bookmaker Tom Shannon of $8,200 at the Coleman House, New York, some time ago, has been seen in this city. He has been selling pools under the name of J. W. Carlisle. who has been engaged by the Blood Horse Association for this meeting, is from Lex- ington, Ky., Clay’s home, and recognized him here. Yesterday Clay was married in Oakland to the woman who accompanied him, and they left town, presumably for Salt Lake Oity. Clay lost $1,100cn the races and had about worth of pool tickets out- Standing, which the association to-day made good. THE BILLIARD BALL WAS THE HARDER. LAWRENCE, Kan., Nov. 5.—George Farrell and Jim Walker, two colored men, were se- verely injured in a fight with several whites here this afternoon in Martin’s billiard hall, Farrell was hit over the left eye with a bil- liard ball and was in an unconscious state for several hours. Walker was hit in the head with a ball and was dangerously in- jured. Both men are very low this evening and they may not recover. The whites were from the country and made their escape. Their names could not be learned, MURDEROUS APAOCHES. _Deminc, N.

ALL BRANCHES OF NEW ORLEANS’ BUSI- NESS SERIOUSLY CRIPPLED. Every Industry in the City Represented— Over Forty Trades Unions Included— All Street-Car Traffic Stopped—The Presidents of the Car Lines Will Make NO Effort to Operate Them. New ORLEANS, La., Nov. 5.—The strike Is on for all it is worth. Some forty unions, representing every industry, quit work to- day, and the street cars stopped run- ning. Hundreds of stores had no clerEs. More or less tumult existed at railroad . freight depots, and the retall trade of the city is paralyzed. The or- ganized State troops are ordered to report at their armories at»Z o’clock to-morrow for orders. Meantime efforts haveall day been made to force anh adjustment, the City Council having been in session several hours to-day for that purpose. The pres- sidents of the street-car lines in session to-night determined, this being the third time in twelve months that the drivers have quit voluntarily, that their cars shalllay up until thecity authort- ties shall guarantee police protec- tion to such drivers as they may put on. A queer phase of the strikeis that all establishments em- ploying union labor are paralyzea by the withdrawal of their bands, while those em- have made the advange 10 instead of 7 per cent, Ithasalways been customary when reducing wages to make no half deals about it, but to take the full 10 percent and almost invariably a little more. Why this departure Irom the old rule? Does not the condition of trade warranta fulll0 per cent advance in wages? Noone can provethat it dogs not, consequently we believe that it would have been a more just and satisfactory way of doing business to have advanced wages 10 per cent,’’ SCENTS AND SMELLS. Our Little Knowledge of Smell Reflected in Literature. From the London News. Speaking of the nose reminds us how, in consequence of our profound ignorance upon the whole subject of scentsand smells, lit- erature has neglected that indispensable organ. It hasreceived nokind of justice at all from poets, who have said so much about the eyes, the lips, the hair, the limbs and body generally. ‘There are only three allus- ions in all Ariostotothe nose asa feature of feminine beauty, only two in Tennyson, only one—and that much disputed—in Martial. And yet where would the most beautiful countenance bef without a nose? But the poets, like the savants, do not know what tosay uponit. It hascome not to be talked about, as if it were only a muzzle in disguise, as if it were a not en- tirely creditable element in the facial aspect ofhumanity, as if its functions were vulgar, and too much Connected with the pocket hankkercelef to be thought .@ws- thetic. . Yet what a wrong is thus done to the organ which has more to do with beauty and character than perhaps any other! Nothing —albeit this too isa physical mystery—links itselfso ciosely with memory as the nose. One might almost declare that memory had her seat in it, so instan- taneousand magical isthe way in whicha perfume, a whiffof special scent, a waft of odoror aroma wiil bring up faces, places, scenes and events ‘‘touching the electric links with which we are darkly bound.’’ The smoke froin burning ‘‘bois de vache’’ wil) bring allthelr Indian life back to many an Anglo-indian; and there are medical cases on record where, when nothing could awake the sleeping memory, pamlyzed bya shock or disease, some special flower by fts fra- grance setthe music of recollection in full play again.

GAINESVILLE, Tex., Nov. 6.—The bodles of Tom Smithand the negro, who were kilied last Thursday night on the north-bound Santa Fe train, passed through here this morning from Ardmore. Smith’s re- mains were taken to Taylor for burial andthe body of the negro went to Dallas. The belief that the negro wasthe notorious Commodore Miller, was shattered last night when he was positively identified as Ples Kimbell, a resident of Dallas, Since the tragedy many contradictory accounts are given _ by persons who either claim tohave seen it or have talked with someone who aid and it seems almost an impossible task to find two concurring tales. Deputy United States Marshal Booker, who killed the negro, was in the city late last night, but left early this morning, pre- sumably for Paris, to surrender himself to the authorities. INDICTED FOR MURDER. ‘ MARSHALLTOWN, Io., Nov. 5.—John Dolan was this afternoon indicted by the Grand- jury for murder, charged with the killing of a farmer named J. S. Hurto, at State Center on the 15th of October. Hurto, Dolan and one or two others had spent the day at State Centerin a regular spree. When the party reached home that night Hurto was missing and his wife was told that he had fallen fromthe wagon and that his companions were too drunk to get himinavain. The woman found her hus- Daud dying by the roadside and he died the nextday. in his ante-mortem statement he charged Dolan with the fatal assault. The young man’s trial is set forthe next term of court. HARDWARE STORE BURGLARIZED.

Hoffman, Bradley and Duke to Dr. Kerley, Superin- tendent of the institution, and also a copy of the joint letter of resignation sent by these physicians’ to Dr. Brennan, Health Comm |'|ssioner. The latter document is something more than a mere letter of explanation, inasmuch as it sets out anumber of incidents that are alleged to have occurred during Dr. Keeley’s admin- istration at the hospital and might readily be construed into charges against him. The reading of y Dr. Brennan to the Board of Health created no small amount of astonishment and surprise, but no action was taken on it because the board held that it was not thelr province to inves- tigate charges against superintendents of these institutions, since that duty devolved upon the Board of Charity Commissioners. The substance of the charges to be preferred by the latter bouy has already been pub- lished, The witnesses to be summoned to sustain them will be the three assistant physicians who resigned, Drs. Hoffman, Bradley and Duke, the ex-Chief Clerk, George Maratta, who also resigned, and two or the attend- ants, Mrs. J. ©. Wagner and Mrs, Mary Creighton. The board will attempt to prove con- clusively by these that Dr. Kerley has been guilty of the grossest carelessnes and in- difference in his management; that he has not actedas the adviser of his assistants when called uponin important cases; that he has absolutely refused tosee patients when called by the attendants, when it was a question of life or death that immediate attention be given them; that he had permitted the grounds of the In: stitution to be the scene of midnight revels; that he has permitted his wifetosign and have requisitions filled for her personal use; that he has sent the grapes, melons and other products of the institution’s garden to his friends instead / of employing them for hospital purposes, and in short that he has neglected his duties and shown himself unfit for the po- sition which he holds. The two attendants were called on last night by a Post-DISPATCH reporter, and one of them, Mrs. Creighton, intormed him that she hud promised to make no statements for publication until she had seen Mr. Bass, the Presi- dent of the Board of Charity Commissioners. Enough information was obtained, how- ever, to state that the above Is the substance of the charges which will be given in detail to the board as the investigation proceeds.

The car drivers had a long and heatel meeting about the matter, but at length overwhelmingly decided in favor of striking. There was much opposition to such a move inthe Cotton Yardmen’s Union, but they, too, decided to strike by a big vote. As stated, Typographical Union No, 17 was the solitary exception, and even there the resolution failed by only twelve votes. This union will hold another meeting to consider the question, and ifthe strike lasts over Mon- day it will doubtless join the movement, and thus stop the publication of every news- paper in New Orleans except the Daily States, which is a non-union journal, The strike throws out the bakers and confection- ers, the carpenters and Joiners, car driv- ers, clothing clerks, coopers, horseshoers, cotton yardmen, grain shovelers, marine mates, retail dry goods clerKs, marine and stationary firemen, painters and decorators and paper hangers, pile driversand wharf builders, wharf teamsters and loaders, sugar workers, ’longshoremen, musicians, ware- house men and packers, lumber teamsters and yardmen, shipscrapers, gas workers, coal wheelers, coachmen, boiler mak- ers, screw men, marine firemen, rail- way workers, rice workers, plasterers and shoe clerks.

Its Oolor in Relation to the Pursuits of Men. From the Nineteenth Century, Dr, Deddoe tells us that there tis a direct relation between men’s pursuits and the color of their hair. An unusual proportion of men with dark, straight hair enter the min- istry, red-whiskered men are apt to be given to sporting and horseflesh, while the tall, vigorous blonde men, lineal descendants of the Vikings, still contribute a large contin- gent to our travelers and emigrants, The plumage of canaries can be considera- bly altered tuward red or orange by feeding them on a stimulating diet of red pepper,and though this may fal! for humankind in gen- eral, something might be dune toward in- creasing the pigment in the hair, and give pees to many a meiancholy owner of gray Suppose for a moment that a protective color, like that which obtains in the fields, woods and hedgerows, ruledin the world of men, What an amazing change would ensue inthe outward uppearance of things! Ifa rogue could but at will assume the perfect guise of an honest man, and the gilded wasps of society appear as mason or honey bees, or Were saints and sinners alike compelled to wear their own unmistakable livery, what a changed world would this of ours be! If men, like canua- ries or caterpillars, could but change their complexicn, by change of diet, mode of life or pursuit, then we might indeed imagine an alderman, after pours of calipash and call- pee, assumes the hue and sha of a turtle.

The Heartless Conduct of a Fisherman Who Was Tired of His Family. From the Portland Dally Press. A remarkable and pathetic story was told to Judge Walton in the Cumberland County Supre:ne Court Friday afternoon, The nar- rator was a woman of 27 years, who should be still youngand comely, but instead she seemed an old andinfirm woman, so much had hardship and affliction told upon her, Her name was Estelle F. Cobb, and five years ayo her story was in the months of all fishermen who frequent the Bay of Fundy. Mrs. Cobb’s home was formerly on Long Island, where her mother, Mrs. McKenney, now lives. In 1878, when she was a mere schuolgirl of 14 summers, she Met and mar- rieda young fisherman of 23, named Lorenzo T. Cobb, For eight or nine years their mar- ried life was fairly peaceful life. Four chil- ren were born to them, the last one fn the pring of 1887, At that time there were liv- ing on stave Island, one of the remoter islands of Portland harbor. It was in the summer of 1887 that the first shadows seemed to have invaded the house- hold. ‘they came witha sallor who came to board with the Cobb family. This man seems to have exercised a pernicious influence over the husband and father, for fromthat time he beganto make his home uncomfortable for his wife, The first of the summer,in 1887, Cobb tn- formed his wife that he had decided that they should move to Seal Island in the Bay of Fundy. The young wife did not have much of an idea where teal Island was, but she began to get her little family and the few household -effects ready. The oldest child was buts ears, and the youngest only a baby in arms, ess than 6 months of! age. ©Cobb hada small sloop boat, so small that it had no cabin or other accommoda oe for shelter in cas® a storm, and in this he _ Placed his family and family effects... Then, taking along the sailor whose unfavorable in finence has already been commented upon, he set sail. The voyage was not a ha one for Mrs. Cobb and the children.

Careful nursing saved the lives ofthe two youngest childrenand brought them back to their usual health. But the mother did not recover co readily.

The challenge grew out ofa dispute as to.the men’s re- spective prowess in this particular branch of sport. Mr. Marshall says that Weber, whose shop is in a basement directly around the corner, had formed the habit of going about amongthe sailors and immigrants and other customers of his (Marshall) and of inquiring where they had their hair-cutting and other tonsorial work done. When theytolad him, Marshall alleges, Weber, said, ‘‘The Ginny’s no good.

Ifthe match should come off Marshall would probably win, as he has a good record asa hair-cutter. The terms he proposes are catch-as-catch-can, four heads to be cut in fifteen minutes or less. Catch-as- catch-can means that the heads are not tw be selected, but that the first subject who kindly offers to lend himself for the occasion shall be chosen and the nextinorder. The subjects shall be charged nothing for having their hair cut. Mr. Weber says that at present he is unable to accept Mr. Martuscielle’s challenge, as he broke his shoulder in moving his family.

He Is secretary of a big gas machine company, Mr. Barnum has still the livellest interest in St. Louis and her success. This is shown by thisincident. The other day Mr. Barnum was crossing the Jersey City ferry, He no- ticed thatthe two finest ferryboats of the Pennsylvania Central were named ‘‘Chicago’’ and ‘‘Cincinnat!.’’ Arrived In Jersey City Mr. Barnum wentto the Pennsyivania offices, where he is ‘ell known. He met some of the leading officials, and asked: ‘*Look here, what’s the matter with 8t. Louts?’’ ‘*She’s all right,’’ they replied, ‘‘but why do you ask?’’ ‘*Ifshe’sall right why don’t you name one of your boats after her?’’ ‘*By jove, a good idea,’’ they cried, and now itis officially settled that the next ferry palace, which is soon to be floated, will bear the name ofthe Mound City. WILLIAM HAZELTINE. A great many memories come back to one who stands in Gold sireet inthe financial section of ‘‘down-town’’ of an afternoon, andas the offices pour out their tenants, sees the figure of Mr. Willlam IH.

Itis there that this once well-known leather merchant of St. Louis is carrying on the same business here, With him is his son, Willlam Hazeltine, brother of the late Mrs. Frederick Paramore, who died in the spring of 1884, Mr. Hazeltine, Sr., bears the years well.

The historic suburb of New Rochelle caught his fancy. In a spot where the town melts into the country he selected the location of hishome. It is on a commanding height overlooking Long Island Sound, whose waters are nearly two miles dlis- tant. In the valley between is a wilderness of forest whose darkness is only here and there broken by the glimmer stand out againet the horizon and away off to the North files the flag of the famous Larch- mount Yacht Club, which figures prom!t- nently in Mr. Thomas’ comedy, ‘‘For Money.’’ All around is quiet and it will be many a Gay before the town grows its noise about It. Those who have seen the structure growing say itis the cosiest looking house m New Rochelle. Mrs. Thomas likes to call it a nest. Snuggling up under the trees it looks like one. Itis a former Sst. Louls architect, Mr. G. Kramer Thompson, who is permanently in New York, and who has furnished the plans forthe residence. The prevailing style is Norman. The most striking feature of the house !s a round copper ridge which ts clearly observable atsome distance remove. Gray natural cut stone forms the body work, Fine cypress wood isinthe shingles. A beautiful part of the interior is the flax tapestry decoration of the jilving room. The dimensions of the rooms are as follows: Living room with 14-foot fireplace, is 26 feet long by 18 wide; library, 25x13; dining-room, 18xl42; hall-room, 14xl4. The house entire is 72 feet long by 58 wide. The grounds, which slope sharply down fromthe porte cochere, and are beautifully terraced, are $11 feet wide by 3800 deep. The interior is finished in- side with oak in halls and dining-room; gum wood tn library: cypress in living room; ma- ple and pine cypress inthe vestibule. The fireplace of Mr. Thomas’ workingroom is one of the most interesting spots inthe house,and above the pretty tiles is a mantel made from the heartofa fat pine grown near Talla- dequa, Ala., the scene of ‘‘Alabama.’’ Be- neath itis the quotation from ‘‘Col. Carter of Cartersville.’’ The lighting of the house will be electric. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas have been moving in the past few days, and are now fairly set- tled. There will be no formal house-warm- ing for some tiie, owing to a recent afflic.- tion in the family of Mrs. Thomas. Some very pleasant neighbors will De theirs.

OUR DRAMATIC SECTION, Several members of the theatrical profes- sion, whose early steps in the path of his- trion'sm were taken under the shadow ofthe old Pickwick Theater, are now permanently attachedto the New York stage. The best known oftheseis probably Miss Della Fox, whose hit in *‘Wang’’ is the most pro- nounced in light stage work for some years. Miss Fox is a permanent member ofthe DeWolf Hopper Opera Co.,, which Is now playing ‘‘The Lady orthe Tiger.’’ Miss Fox and sisterlive at the palatial Vendome Hotel, just across the street from the Broad- way Theater, where she nightly delights large audiences.

_ Federal Marshals and Election 8 I ‘ pervisors May Clash. Government Authority Paramount. the Polls. a — DIFFERENT VIEWS AS TO PROPER PRO- TEOTION OF THE BALLOT. Actf{ng Pp a ye Sa Aldrich Thinks There Will Be No Trouble—Gov. Flow- er’s Proclamation Is Not Warlike— Poss of Sheehan’s Arrest—New York, Alabama and Arkansas’ In- volved in the Issue. .! WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 5.-+Gov. Flow- er’s proclamation in New York State and ada- vices from Arkansas and Alabama as to the action ofthe State authorities in election matters caused numerous inquiries’ to be made at the White House and at the Depart- ment of Justice andthe War Department as to the probable action ofthe Federal offi- cials in the event ofaconfiict of jurisdic- tion. Acting Atty.-Gen.*Aldrich was incon. sultation with the President for guite a time this morning, and consequently could not be seen by outsiders. Whenhe was reached at last he was asked if he antici- pated any trouble between the United States and State authorities. He replied: ‘*No,:I do not anticipate any trouble what- ever, relying, as Ido, on the patriotism and good sense of the people.’’ ‘‘Have you considered the possible use of troops in protecting law officers?’’ **No; we have not. The possibility of the neccessity for using troops has not been for a moment contemplated. AsI have already said the marshals are peAce officers and are carefully instructed not to invite violence of any kind. Nor do I construe Gov. Flower’s proclamation as in any way conflicting with the views of this department in its position that in an election like the one or hand, the Federal jaws are paramount, where there is any con- flict with the State laws. It seems clear to me that the election may be conducted peaceably in all the States and that no con- flict should occur between Federai and State authorities anywhere. Iam sure thaf such will be the result everywhere if the same forbearance is practiced by the State authorities as has been enjoined on federal officers. If I am quoted in this matter I desire to emphasize the posi- tion of the department as heretofore stated, that the United States Marshals and their deputies are not partisans, and are not to make any discrimination between parties in the performance of their duty.’’ Mr. Aldrich was asked if he had not seen the President duringthe morning. He ad- mitted that he had, but wanted it distinctly understood that his visit had no political sig- nificance whatever. A LEGAL OPINION. David Leventritt, Henry D. Hotchkiss. David McClure, John M. Bowers and Charles H. Knox, the committee of lawyers ap- olnted by Tammany Hall to confer with District Attorney Nicoll, Sheriff’ Gorman and the Police Commissioners regarding the wholesale appointment of United States Marshals and the arbitrary arrests of sus- ected illegal voters by John I. Davenport ad busy day of it yesterday. The the committee met early inthe morning at Leventritt’s office in the stewart Building, where a consultation was had. It was unanimously agreed to communicate first with Mr. Davenportanda letter to him was drawn up explaining that the committee was desirous of seeing that no injustice should be done tothe men arrested by the Federal authorities. His attention was specially called to the law governing the withholding of warrants and providing that there should be nounnecessary delay serving them, Hero is the communication to Mr. Davenport: NEW YORK, Nov. 5, 1892. John I, Davenport, Esq., Chief Supervisor of Elections, etc.: DEAR S1iR—We understand that it is contemplated by youto make certain arrests of electors of this county forajleged illegal registration. If such of- tense ofillegal registration has been committed by any person, it was committed as early as the llth aay of October, 1592, the first day of registration, or in auy event not later than the 29th day of uctober, the last day of registration. The lists of each day’s registration are at once placed in your hands and youhave iong since com- leted your work of inspection of such lists. It has frequently happened, however, that you have with- heid making arrests for alleged illegal registration uitil election day and as we are informed have heid the persons so arrested until the election was over, thereby causing the elector to lose his vote, even though entitled toavote. Youcan just as we!l execute* your warrants now for illegal registration as on election day. We have to request t.at you will forthwith issue and execute any war- rants vou may intend to issue for illegal registration in order that the elector, if entitled to his discharge, shall receive the same in time to cast his vote. -Assuming that the intentof the law under which you act Was not tointerlfere with lawful voters, but to punish and restrain illegal voting we take it for granted that you will co-operate with usin determining all such questionsin advance of day of election and that you wiil therefore comply with our request. Inthis connection wecall vour attention t the decision rendered by the United States Circu it 6 Pp. 481. in which case by Judges Blatchford and Choate that it is an offense within the United States Revised Statutes, sec. 5515. if an election ofticer intentionally delays executing a warrant for the arrest of one charged with illegal registration until election day in order to prevent his voting, and also that it is equally so to threaten arrest for the purpose of deterring=from voting. The opinion ofdudge Choate in that case is couched in the following language: **Purposely omiting to serve warrants until election dav for the purpose of preventing people from voting wouia be a breach of duty on the part of the Chief super- visor, and the np td Marshal,’’ and we also quote from the opinion of Mr. Justice Blatchford the fol- lowing language: ‘*It makes no difference whether this marshal had these warrants or not. It is just as minuch offense ior hiin to threaten to arrest people on election day to prevent their voting as it would be to keep back a warrant and ex- ecute iton that day forthat object. We (referring to himself, Mr. Justice Kiatchford, and to his asso- ciate, Judge Choste,) both agree that where & man can be arrested before elec- tion day as well as not he ought be so arrested. Ifthere is any delay in arresting him where he could have been arrested before that day. it must be presumed to be for the purpose of pre- venting him from voting, and consequeatily alaw- ful.’’ Respectfully Yours, DAavip LEVENTRITT, HENRY D. HOTCHKISS. DAVID MCCLURE, JNO. M. BOWERS, CHARLES H. KNOX, Committee on behalf of th Democratic party of the city and county of Newer The Tammany Hall lawyers visited the Post-office building, but could not find Mr. Davenport, although they spent an hour in search of him. It was finally decided to leave a copy of the letter at his office and to forward another copy to his uptown political headquarters. A DEMOCRAT IN COMMAND. A soldier, a Democratic soldier at that, will be atthe head of the War’ Department on election day. In view of the possible con- flict between State and Federal authorities in New York City and elsewhere on that day this fact, interesting though it be, possesses especialsignificance. Gen. Schofield will be acting Secretary of War to-night, when the present acting Secretary, Gen. Grant, leaves Vashington to cast his vote in Minnesota. eoretary Elkins will be in West Virginia on election day and will. not return to the r Department for me time. Political and official circles in Wash- ington have discussed nothing to-day but the "easononine AA of trouble on Tuesday next be- ween the ‘State officers In New York, Ala- bama and Arkansas and the representatives of the general government In those Common- wealths. There is a well-defined fear that trouble may result on election day from the sresent attitude of the officials in question. ‘here has been as much talk here to-day of the ‘‘force bill’’ as there was during the hot- test days of the contest over that measure in Congress, Under these circumstances the absence of the two the presence of a soldier secretary at the "yiecessary as y ‘think the local is ‘O~ interfere wit | ; te Ae ) political secretaries and | em oe ons 5 te nploy men or ' a oops at the polis in case of conflict Federal and State authorities. ‘*No,’’ said he. ‘‘It has not appeared et to consider the question. I authorities realize that the law is supreme, and will not attempt its execution, If th ‘the United : aed Sars between. le Ould it is sufficient tosay that ‘States Marshals have behind them the sup- a ort of the United States Government.’’ ‘Suppose that Lieut.-Gov. Sheehan of New rk carries out his plan of opposing the eral marshals, will the Federal authori- ‘testake any steps to uphold the marshais?’’ t think Mr. Shaehan will go that r ‘He is probably talking for political effect. I credit him with being too wise a /man to put into practice any ‘force bill’ tion to the Federal authorities.’’ **Is there any law by which the War De- | partment could employ troops at the poils in case of emergency ?’’ '-** The law provides that Federal officers are to be sustained in executing their duties.’’ This was as far as Gen. Grant would go. He was evidently desirous of avoiding a direct statement that the troops could be used at the polls if necessary, a@s such a statement minbt cause peculiar situations. It was clear, however, that he hadno doubtas to the right of the Government to support the United States marshals withthe strong arm of the War Department. : As Gen. Schofield will be the acting Secre- tary of War on election day he was seen with a view of ascertaining to what extent the military arm of the service might be used in case of emergency. Gen. Schofield is prob- ably the best posted authority on the use of troops at the polls that there is in the coun- ef He was Secretary of War in the Cabinet of President Andrew Johnson at a time when the necessity of employing troops at the polls was thoroughly discussed. During the most critical Y ggoaceny of reconstruction days Gen. Schofield was in command of the militaty in Missouri and elsewhere, where. troops were called into requisition to preserve the peace on election day. He made an exhaustive study of the subject and was en- tirely successful in so controlling the force at his disposal as to prevent any open conflict between the State and Federal officers. He was asked as to whatextentthe present law authorized the use of the military at the polls. He said: ‘*‘I do not know whatthe law is, but ifa question arose which called for an interpre- tation of the law I will Know what it is tn five minutes.’’ ‘‘Then the question of troops on election to-day in New York or elsewhere has not been brought before you as yet.’’ ‘*It has not.’’ Solicitor-General, now Acting Attorney- General Aldrich, gave a clew to whatis prob- ably the most important feature of the con- troversy. Thusfar the Federal authorities have confined their quotations of the Fed- erallaw to provisions which regulate the employment of United States marshals. In answer to questions, Mr, Aldrich said that the department felt satisfied that no trouble would occur. ‘‘Butif it should occur,’’ he was asked, ‘‘is there any provision of the United States Statutes, any Federal law, whicn covers the employment of troops at the polls?’’ ‘*It is all covered In sec. 2002 of the Revised Statutes.’’ Gen. Aldrich would not discuss the statutes, nor would he indicate to what extent they allowei1 theintervening of the military power. The statuteto which the- Acting Attorney-General referred reads as follows: No military or naval officer, or other person en- aged in the civil, military or naval service of the Pited States, shall: order, bring or keep, or have under authority or control, any troops or armed men at the place where any general or special elec- tion is held in any State, unless it be necessary to repel the armed enemies of the United States or keep peace at the polls. The essential feature in the section to which Acting Attorney-General Aldrich un- doubtedly referred is of course that part which gives the Federal authorities the pow- ertousethe mlilitary branch of the service to keep the peace at the polls. FLOWER’S PROCLAMATION, ONLY AN APPEAL FOR A FAIR AND HONEST BALLOT. New YorK, Nov. 5.—Federal authorities in the Post-office building claim that Lieut.- Gov. Sheehan’s advice to Democrats is in- citing insurrection against Federal authority. They profess to think that the Lieutenant-Governor’s advice will be carried out, and hint that his arrest in such an event would be sure. Here is the sec- tion, 6,334, of the United States Statutes which is quoted as authority upon which Republicans will demand that the District Attorney shall act: . **Every person who incites * * * insurrection againstthe authorities of the United States, or ths laws thereof, * * * shall be punished oy im- prisonment for not more than ten years or by a fine of not more than $10,000, or by both of such pun- ishments, and shall moreover be tncapable of hold- ing any office under the United States.’’ ‘*In case of bloodshed or other terrible re- sults against authority,’’ said one official, ‘‘the author of such a document as Mr, Sheehan’s instructions might be hela to seri- ous responsibility.’’ Gov. Flower issued the following prociam- ation yesterday: STATE OF NEW YORK, EXECUTIVE CHAMBER, On Tuesday next, Nov. 8, the people of the United States will exercise the privilege of American citi- zenship and determine by their vote what political principles shail, during the time fixed by the Con- stitution, control the administration and legislation of the Federal Government. It is essential to our liberties and tothe fair name of our country that this expression of popular penamens should be abso- lutely untrammelled and honest. When the con- trol of office is secured by intimidation or corruption and Govermental policy is determined by the briber of voters, elections be- come a farce an representative government a sham. An honest ballot and a fair count are of more importance tothe American people than political issues raised inthe campaign by any party. Icail upon the eege of this State to see that the election inthis commonwealth shall be an honest one. Recent enactments by the Legislature have imposed almost every possible safeguard around the eanctity ofthe ballot. The honorof our state and our love for American institutions demand that every citizen should obey these laws ana look to their enforcement. The constitution of - the State in art. 2, sec, 2 and chap. 680g0f the laws of 1892, give to every elector individually or through a watcher atthe polls with the right to demand from every person suspected of bribing voters or of being bribed and offoring to vote, The foilowing isthe oath: ‘*You do swear (or affirm) that you have not received or offered, do not expect to receive, have not P ease offered or prom- ise l to pay, contribute , offered or prom- ised to contribute, to be paid or used, any money or other valuable thing as a4 coinpensation or reward for the giving or with- holding a vote at this ejection, and have not made or become directly or inaireetly inter- ested in any bet or wager dependin upon the result of this election.’’ The right o challenge exercised intelligently and fearlessly sup- plies to every cilizena weapon of detense against corruption, and will greatly assist in frightening dishonest voters from the polls. In addition I call upon all election officers, all district attorneys, all sheriffs and peace officers to see that the laws of the Mtate are rigidly enforced to the end that good order may prevail at the polls and therightof honest franchises be sacredly guaraed and give warning that all failures on the part of such public officers to discharge their full duty in the compiete enforcement of the laws shall be considered sufficient cause for their removal, Done at the Capitalin the city of Aibany, this 4th day of November, inthe year of our Lord 1892. OSWELL P. FLOWER. By the Governor: T. 8. WILIAMS, Private Secre- tary. AN ARMY OF DEPUTIES. It is said that United States Marshal Jaco- bus proposes to swear in 10,000 Uunited States Deputy Marshals for alleged duty at the polls on election day. the office on which you are about to enter. So help you God.’’ Then there were cries of ‘‘two here,’’ ‘‘six here,’’ ‘‘eight come over here’’ and the men scattered to the different tables where were seated men from the different assembly districts who made out their papers and sentthem out ofthe room full hleazed Deputy United States Mar- shals. There was almost constantly a crowd of 400 or 500 in the hall, and as soon as one batch of men were made marshals the doors were opened and another crowd entered. This went on for two’ hours, until about 9 o’clock, when, after about 900 marshals had been ap- puinted, the 500 waiting in the corridors were told to go home and return again this after- noon, ALL REPUBLICANS. Martin Engel was one of the Republicans in the court rooms watching and helping the work. ‘‘Houw are the marshals appointed?’’ he was asked. ‘‘One Republican and one Dem- ocrat for each election district?’’ ‘‘Oh, no. As many asthey can get for each district, six or seven.’’ **Of what party?’’ **All Republicans.’’ ‘‘Why is that?’’ **Because they are appointed by the Gov- ernment.’’ ‘*What difference does that make?’’ ‘*Well, the Government is Republican.’’ Commissioner Shields said that he was re- sponsible forthe character of the men he swore in. His business was simply to swear in whosoever the -United states Mar- shal appointed. It appears that United States Marshal Jacobus’ circular to his Deputy Marshals, informing them that they havearight,to an indefinite number, to be within the rallat every voting place, Was based on advice from United States District Attorney Mitchell, who says Lieut.-Gov. Sheehan’s proclamation to the contrary isin confilct with United States statutes. Hesays that the law directs the United States Supervisors tO take such po- sition as will best enable them to perform their duties, whether before or behind the ballot boxes. The law alsosays that Deputy Marshals shall support and protect the super- visors of election in the discharge of their duties. This Mr. Mitchell interprets into the following order: ‘*You will also please inform all such Su- pervisors of election and deputy marshals that the United States intends to see that every supervisor of election and every dep- uty marshal, ifrequestedto support him by such supervisor of election, shall be al- lowed to take any position behind the guard rail he sees fit on election day, and that any person interfering with them in any way while they arein the precoreeece of their duty behind the guard rafl in any polling piace on election day can at once be arrested without process under Section 6522, United States Revised Statutes.’’ Marshal Jacobus says that he will call on the police to support nis marshals in their proceedings and will call for the prosecution of any policeman who refuses. At4 o’clock a deputy from the office of Marshal Jacobus took the following to Mr. Leventritt, chairman of the committee: GENTLEMEN—In reply to the request contained in Ree letter ofeven date herewith. which reais as ollows: Ifany warrants are to be executed at the polls on election day we have to request that you in- struct the supervisors and marshals that they have no right to arrest yoters before they have de- posited their baliots.’’ I begtoinform you that I and my deputies are directed by the laws of the United States to prevent fraudulent voting at the polls on electionday. A portion of the section of the law which gives me this direction is as follows: Sec. 2022, United States Hevised Statutes, paragraphs. The Marsnhaland his general deputies and such special deputies shall prevent frauculent voting thereat (at the polls) and im- mediately at the polling piaces and before voting ar- rest and take iato custody with or without processany person who attempts to offer or permit any of the acts or offenses prohibited therein. Iknowof no way of preventing a man fron fraudulent voting ex- cept by arresting him when he attempts to so fraud- ulently vote. I beg to cali the attention of the com- mittee tothe fact that I am directed by the law to immediately arrest the offender before he votes,and further that such arrest isto be made with or with. out drocess if the offense of attempting to fraudu- lently vote is done in the presence of any of mr ofli- cers. Having stated to you what my duty under the law is, aslunierstand it, [have no doubt that you understand what wy action will be. JOHN W. JACOBUS, United States Marshal. PREPARED FOR TROUBLE, A TALK WITH CHIEF SUPERVISOR M’CLURE OF ARKANSAS, LITTLE Rock, Ark., Nov. 5.—United States Supervisors have been appointed for sixty- nine counties in the State. The whole num- ber appointed will be about 2,400. There are no supervisors for the counties of Boone, Cleburne, Newton, Phillips, Poinsett and Stone, because citizens of these counties did not petition for them. Chief Supervisor McClure malled the last certificate of ap- pointment last night. When asked this morning the question as to how many Deputy United States Marshals would be appointed in Arkansas, Judge McClure sald: ‘*I cannot say how many will be appointed, but they wiil be found wherever they have been asked for under the law. I willalso add that I do not think the deputy marshals or supervisors will be interfered with.’’ **Have you read the circular issued by Hon. James W. House, Judge U. M. Kose and Col, John M. Moore giving their opinions as tothe duties of supervisors and deputy marshals?’’ asked the PosT-DISPATCH Correspondent, ‘*‘Yes, I have seen the circulars of these gentlemen, wherein they state that depuly marshals cannot be appointed outside of citles of 20,000 Inhabitants. They are able lawyers, butintheir case the wish is father tothe thought. It must be borne in mind that Mr. House is Chairman of the Democratic State Committee; that Judge Roseis a member of the Democratic National Committee, and that Mooreis an ex-Chairman of the Demo- cratic State Committee, and that their desire forthe success of their party may have in- fluenced their Judgment aslawyers. Whether this isso or not, the Attorney-General has declared, with their opinion before him, that their construction of the law is wrong, and thatthe opinion given the Marshal by Dis- trict Attorney Walters Is right. Of course, the marshal willact as directed, underthe exposition of the iawas given by the Attor- ney General. Messrs. Rose, House and Moore have overlooked the Nagle case in 135 U. 8. In that case the broad doctrine is laid down that the United States hasthe power to pro- tect its officers everywhere within its do- main. Theidea that a supervisor can only be protected within the boundary ofa city of 20,000 inhabitants and ouftéide these limits is to occupy the position of a sheep that is used to entice a wolf into a trap Is preposter- ous. The Supreme Court of the United States turned Nagle loose and said he did right in killing ‘terry when he assaulted Judge Field. If the right exists to protect the life ofasupreme judge, it exists to pro- tect that of a supervisor, The one is no more an officer of the United States tban is the other, and both are entitled tothe same protection. I know itis said thatthe stat- ute is not broad enough to cover the life ofa supervisor outside of the limitsofacity of 20,000, but in the Nagle case the Supreme Court of the United States sald no such stat- ute was necessary, but if it wasthere was such a statute.’’ ‘*‘Do you anticipate any serious trouble on election day?’’ **No; I bloodshed on the day of the election. The opinion of the Attorney-General will come to the knowledge of most of the Sheriffs before the election, andI cannot bellfeve they will challenge the power of the Government. That would bea dangerous sort of business. W hen a man is placed ina position where be may lose his life, and iscertain to be prose- cuted if he survives, heis aptto hesitate. ‘He isapttosaythe lawyers disagree, and in such acase he will let the courts settle the matter.’*’ **What course have you ing your 2,400 supervisors? **Ido notappoint tne supervisors,’’ said Judge McClure, ‘‘as'a great many fpeople throughout the State seem to think. ‘en citizens of the ‘county petition the court to appoint supervisors for the county. These petitions usually go firstto the chairman or secretary of the different State political com- mittees, who recommed the appointinents of the persons therein named. The petitions then are brought to thechief supervisor, and from the names -thus. presented, “the supervisor recommends anappointment.

It was asplendid Gay forthe public, as four heavily backed favorites were successful, while the remain- ing event went toan outsider who closed at 10 to 1. In addition to capturing most of the lucre, the big crowd withesséd the best sport of the week. The ' first event Was hotly contested for from start | to finish, Wild Sunflower winning only bya ; head from Los Webster, who was about one- fourth of a length in front of Coffee Cake. Jennie Harding’s victory was also attained only aftera desperate contest, while Lead- ville defeated Reve a’Or by one-quarter ofa length in the second event. The second and third horses in this race were aiso the same distance apart at the wire. One of the features of the after- noon’s sport was the riding of Frankie Jordan, who was reinstated by Starter Kit Chinn yesterday morning. Frank plioted Frank Trimble to victory in the second ®vent, rode a masterly race on Oakview in the handicap and had the mount on Ooronet, who ran third in the closing scrainble, The event of the afternoon was ‘the big handicap at five-eighths of a mile, for which Jennie Harding opened the first ‘choice at even money. Most of the -Crowd’s licré was placed on Hoover’s little filly even at that price, as in the closing bet- ting the price of every other starter in the face had length@ned considerably, while ‘Jeanie’s remained stationary.

In the opening bet- ting Sunflower was quoted at 2tol, Dut was hammered so bard that in the closing 6 to 5 was the best that could be obtained against him. Black Beauty was the second choice at 4toi1, while the restof the bunch could be had for from 8 to 60 to 1. Coffee Cake and Los Webster were in front when the flag fell and continued there until the middle of the backstretch wasreached, Where Gor- man pushed up withthe Sunflower.

GUITENBURG, NOV. 6A. gale of wind cavorted on the hilitop this afternoon, and forced the 4,000 spéctatots of to-day’s races to seek shelter in the Dbetting-ring or behind the enclosed stand, the instant the horses dashed past the post in: their respective races. The wind came from the north- west and | ehined the fating enthusi- asts' to the boné, dut it did not lessen. their speculative ardor a article. They placed their bets with the okmakers ‘with their mans freedom, and while not talking horse é nh argu- ments dealing with the areat political battle now in progress. In the betting on the first race Sulisbury was themctual favorite at 3 to 1, but Milledan carried the most money. He was pounded down from 20 to ito 4 to 1. Starter Caldwell droppe his flag while only Young Lottery and Duke John were running. All the others, including Fidget, who was left standing, were being stopped by their riders. It waa no race at all for Dike John. He won in a gallop atStol. Young lotteryat4 to 1 beat the others off a sixteenth ofa mile. It wasa most unfortunate happening and put the speculators in a very bad humor, Then came the yearling race and the less said about it the better. Had the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals sent its officers o keep the babies intheir stables and prevent their exposure tothe biting blasts, spectators would have been better piéeased. Jarmnes Shields won the race ae Nis Fleika Colt 4 to 1. Starter Caldwell again dis- tinguished himself by senuding Pessimist and Gamester away from the post half a dozen lengths in front of their opponents. As in the first race only those two horses had a chance and Pessimist won somewhat easily from Gamester. Those of the spectators that bet on Ondawa were much provoked at Mr. Caldwell’s care- lessness. he fourth race resulted in a rattling contest. Dagonet was backed fora suré Winner by the Stedekers, who imported Jockey MacAuley from Gloucester to ride him. The black colt led for six furiongs and then oe King Crab, 8to5, suffered defeat by a short head, Bat Conley, 6 to 1, being his vanquisher. Irregular led at flag arop, but Vocalize shot tothe frontand led ail the way by a lengthandahalftothe last ye ag & Then Forget-me-not closed up, but in @ spurring finish Vocalize won by a head. First race, five furlon eae John first; Young Lottery, secon Gloriana, third. Time, 1:0414, There were several breakaways and then one of the worst starts Mr. Caldwell ever made. Every boy,’ but those on Young Lottery and Duke John, was pulling up while Fidget was standing perfectly still and was left at the poét. Young Lottery cut out the ace as faras the last furlong post. Martin hen came by with Duke John and won hands down by three parts offa — % Young Lottery, second, was fifteen lengths in front of Gloriana, who ridden out took third place from Helen by a neck. Second race, three furlongs. They ran nicely bunched to the last furlong post. The Fieika colt and Sweetheart filly then drew out and raced together tothe finish, the colt mmm | long enough towin by ahead. The Sweetheart filly second was three lengths in front of the Rhoda filly, who wasa head bet- ter than Appotomax, fourth. Time, :39. Third race, four anda half furlongs. Toa very ragged start they were sent away with Pessimist and Gamester three lengths before the others. Pessimist was never headed,and won by two lengths, eased up. Gamester, whipped and spurred, was second, the —_ distance in front of Ondawa, third. Time, :58. Fourth race, six and a half furlongs—Pat Conley broke in front,ebut was at once headed by Dagonet, who cut out the pace to the tast furlong post. King Crab then came up fast on‘“the inner rail, but Pat Conley stalled him off long enough to win by a short head. King Crab, second, was a head in front of Dayonet. third. vime, 1:24, Fifth race—One mileand asixteenti:.

TO TROT AGAIN, Vocalize won; Radient third, TO BE SENIr BEFORE A PNEUMATIC TIRE SULKY TO BEAT NAXCY HANKS’ RECORD. New YorK, Nov. 5.—It will beasource of great satisfaction to all true lovers of sport, whether horsemen or otherwise, tO Know that Mr. Robert Bonner is not at all convinced that Nancy Hanks is the fast- est trotter in the world, and has decided Se Rete me a Sie Ae © eA ORT MT EROTIC AEN.

Yousee you might put a horse on an express train and it would goa mile very fast. ‘*There is a greater difference than is gen- erally su Et between the old and the new fashioned sulky. In the latter the trotter, besides nat a. be iaater weigh to pull, *. able to move at a rfectly pure gait. hen drawing the ordinary sulky the heavier load eves the horse atendency tojthrow out the ind legs further than he would otherwise do. This makes his gait strained and uf@natural. The advantages derived by the trotter from the bicycle sulky are the same as when trot- ting hooked up with arunning mate. Inthat ease the runner at every leap forward takes the sulky along with him, leaving the trotter free to move in a perfectly natural manner, The new style of sulky will intime do away altogether with any necessity for weights and bandages, which were used in order to counteract he tendency to an unnatural gait, ‘*The end has not been reached in pneu- matic-tire sulkies. It will be observed that Nancy Hanks, Stamboul, Mascot ana other so-called record breakers have been doing all their fast time within the past few months, Ihave seen several interesting editorials, which have said that their performances in: dicate a rapid advancement in the science of breeding. 1 tell you that is all non- sense. They simply indicate that man isa ciever creature, especially in America. There is no reason why the pneumatic tire sulky should not go on improving until next year, when we shall have one which’ can be drawn by Nancy Hanks or other fast ones in less than two minutes. You may depend upon it that when Maud §, Is pag for her trial she shall want ag in the wa s of mechanical appliances. ere may be something invented by that time which will push the horse along from behind ‘‘Iwishalso to remark,’’ continued Mr. Bonner, ‘‘that the soil in ‘Indiana is of a Pe. cullarly elastic character. It is springy — ) rubber, and permits of very fast time being made overit. Why, just look at those two bicyclists, Zimmermann and Johnston, Zim- merman is, I believe, considered to be mueh the superior, but the other man beat his record several seconds, simply because he had the advantage of the Indiana soll.”’ In order to offset this advantage Mr. Bon- her is making arrangements to improve his owntrack. Owingtothelong dry spell, the track became as hardasa bone, and none of the animals at the arm would extend him- selfoverit. Down ina grove near the ‘Souhd there was found some rich, fertilizing soil madeupof generations of decayed leaves. Great quanities of this soll have been dug up and scattered over the track bya patented distributer. Ihe timeand expense incurred by the operation are great, but they go to show howearnest Mr. Bonner is in his de- termination to vindicate Maud 8.’s title to the queenship of trotters.

Lod of 3 bee - wt o~ . i PLAN OF THE PROPOSED: INTERNA- | TIONAL CYCLING TOURNAMENT. ' ®Sturney’s Clever Scheme—The L. A. W. : in Full * Accord—Athietics in New _ York—The Norwegian Skater—Local Wheelmen’s Thanksgiving Paper- Chase—The World of Sport. \ NEw York, Nov. 65.—The title, amateur _ bicycle champion of the world, hasa hollow | goundtoit, It, in fact, hasnever rightfully been earned by anyone, the conquest of the i racks of one or two foreign countries being insufficient justification for an application of the term to the successful conquerer. It was ¢ 60 in thecase of A. A, Zimmerman, the N. Y. A. ©, crack cyclist. He easily disposed of the . best men inthe British Isles, but that’s all. Owing to a complication of the racing laws, or for other reasons, he _ failed to meet the crack riders of France and Italy. The men of these countries have shown some marvelous turns ofspeed. Al- . though Zimmerman ts in this country and in ' Engtand considered their superior, it isan open question whether he is or not, and he is an amateur’ champion of the world more by _ courtesy than well-grounded and stubborn fact, and what is true of Zimmerman is true of the amateur champions in other lines of AN INTERNATIONAL MEETING. It is a realization of this state of affairs that hasled H. Sturmey, a memberof the Council of the National Cyclists’ Union of En- gland, to outline an association for a general . ‘betterment of things, and which will serve to make the title of ‘‘amateur champion’’ worth something. Mr. Sturmey has issued * an invitation to the ruling cycling bodies in the world to meet in London on the 23d ‘or 24th inst., when there is _ Uittle ‘doubt put that an organization of - pome sert will be formed. Responses have been received from America, Canada, England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, France, Germany, Belgium, Holland and Denmark, so thata fairly representative meeting Is al- ready assured. Just who willrepresent the : League of American Wheelmen has notas . yet been decided. President Charles L. Bur- -dett states that the L. A. W. 1s in such ’ thorough sympathy and accord with Mr. Sturmey’s plans, that it is quite possible that no one will be sent to the London meet- ing, and that Mr. Sturmey will be accredited to act for the L. A. W. At any rate the L. A. W. will certainly be a member of the International Union, and it is already an assured factthat the first batch of Union Championships will be decided in this country in the fall of 1893. Thereis room for the proposed association. It is unfortunate the union will confine its attention entirely to the sport of cycling, as did it embrace ali other sorts ofamateur athletics it would be of more widespread power ana usefulness. DEFINING AMATEURISM. The outline of the union as prepared by Mr. Sturmey stipulates that only those cycling unions which enforcean amateur rule shall be eligible to membership, the board of the International Union, consisting of one dele- gate from.each country that has already joined, to be sole judge whether the amateur rule of any union desiring membership Is sufficiently stringent and properly en- forced. It defines an amateur as ‘tone who has never engaged in, nor assist- ed in, nor taught any athletic exercise for money or other remuneration nor Know- ingly competed with or againsta professional fora prize of any descriptionor in public (except ata meeting specially sanctioned in writing by the union of the country in which he resides). The bracketed clause is made mecessary by the state of affairs in France, Australia and other countries where there is practicaliy no amateur law and where a cash rize system prevails. Only riders are elig!- le to compete who have won the amateur championships of their respective countries or who bave been officially chosen by the body ruling the cycling sport in their own coun- tries. The expenses of such competitors may be paid by the unions of the countries they represent, either from the funds of the unions or from a special fund formed forthe purpose, either by publicsubscription, by promotion of selection race meetings or other suitable means. The world’s cham- pionship will be open to riders of all classes | of machines and for the following distances: .. 1 Kilometer (for short-distance champion- , ship), equalto.62 mile; 10 Kilometers (for ' mid-distance championship), equal to 6.2 . miles; 100 kilometers,equal to 62.1 miles (with pace-makers for each rider), for long-dis- / tance championship; also a team race of not ‘ more than four, distance 10 kilometers. The championship meetings to be changed ; each year, no _ country tO have the privilege of holding a second meeting until all the countries of the International ‘Union sending competitors have taken their turn. Acountry that has notsentany com- ‘ netitors for three successive years shall for- Feit its right to hoid achampionship meeting of the International Union. The prizes of the + champiopships shall consist of special gold ‘gedais, and in theteamrace of a shield, each rider competing also being presented with a silver medal recording his perform- ‘mance, THE WHEEL. ARRANGEMENTS FOR PAPER CHASE—CYCLING IN FRANCE—CYCLING CHAT. *“ Ifthe roadsand weather are favorable on Thanksgiving Day thé grand bicycle paper chase, which will be given under the aus- pices of the South Side and Pastime Bicycle Clubs, promises to be an unqualified success. The only thing needed to make everything perfect are a few days of dry weather before the date set for the event, and nearly a hun- dread wheelmen will participate. The start will be made from the Blair monument in Forest Park at 9 a. m, sharp and the scratch men will start twelve minutes later. The hustling South Sides are very enthusiastic over the affair, and at their meeting last Tuesday voted to attend the chase in a body. Hare and hound chase a wheel became very popular here a few years ago, and many cyclers who have never before taken part in one of these contests willdoso on Thanks- giving Day. It should be remembered that every cyclist inthe city is invited to partici- pate. The more the merrier. A meeting of the various committees was held atthe South Bide Cycle Olub last Thursday, at which the following officers were appointed: Master of the Pack, C. C. Hildebrand; A. L. Jordan, Whipper-in; Robert Hoim. Starter. M. J. Gilbert, H. J. Cornwell, Timers; C. F, Zukoski, Referee. H. A. Canfleld and H. F. Lodge willact as the hares and they will take particular painstoleavea well-defined trail, so that the route can easily be followed. Chairman Myers of the Prize Committee reported that four rizes had been secured to date, amon hem a bicycle uniform, Garford saddle and spring, a cyclometer and a box of cigars. As stated previousily,the course will be about fifteen miles in length and the chase will end at Woodlawn Grove, On the Clayton road, where dinner will be taken and the prizes distributed. ' CYCLING IN FRANCE, European cycie tours have become decid- ty Ags ular since they were first inaugurated by Mr. Elwell in 1889, and are each year grow- | Ingin popular favor. Among the local rid- ers but two have to date participated in | these delightful trips, namely Edgar Floyda- Jones, who went over in 1890, and Louis G, the well-known architect, who in the **‘architectural year, so-called because each one of the twenty-two participants was an architect.

After leaving Paris our course led us to the VaHey of the re to Fontain- rbieau, Then down the river, first on one bank, then on the other, where up, on the bluffs built so as to form part of them, were some of the most noted chateaux of France. Both town andcountry people were alkein politness to the wheelmen, even joaded vans would give us our side ofthe road. Atone place we road twelve abreast dozen miles or and give some idea the roads. From valley of the Loire we crossed the Alps of Normandy to the Seine—the scenery ever changing, but the excellence of the roads re- mained the same. As one can always ar- range tochange his day’s run ina town of prominence the fact thatthe wayside inns are execrable need have no weight, for the hotels in the towns are always good. We were singulagly favored with fine weather, and that cycling is the best mode of travel intha part of the world.’’ CYCLING CHAT. Mr. R. Orthwein has returned to the city. The ‘‘ordinary’’ run of the Cycling Club, billed for to-day, has been postponed. An Offer has been madeto the South Sides to use a valuable piece of ground for training purposes. ° Bert Harding’s great ride last Sunday on the De Soto road has attracted the attention of the entire countny. E. A. Grath, A. A. Meyer and Peter Grunz have been added to the South Sides’ member- ship Committee. Prof. W. B. Kemp has been engaged as the boxing instructor for the Cycling Club and three classes have been formed to study the manly art. Aeuchre party will be the fnitial winter entertainment of the South Sides. lt will take place on Tuesday, Nov. 22. Two prizes will be offered. Forty men participated in last Sunday’s runs. The Cycliug Club took twenty-two to De Sota and eighteen South Sides were at Matti’s Postoffice. Fred Orthwein took his initial run with the latter club, Missouri now has 680 L. A. W. members and a circular letter has been mailed ta each of the seventy-nine local consuls asking them to secure at least two additional members during the month, sothatthe 700 mark can be passed by Dec. 1. But very few St. Louis wheelmen will be entitled to wear the veteran bar which Is insignia of ten years’ continuous member- shipinthe L. A. W.

Runs to-day, weather permitting: The Cyciiag Club willrunto Ballwin, starting at 9a.m. The South sides will ride to Fenton Via the Manchester and Denny roads, start- ing at 8:30a. m. Since L. A. Treasurer Brewster re- moved to St. Joseph cycling has been in- fused with new life in thatcity. She now ranks third inthe state in this connection and plans are laid to make even greater strides next year. St. Joe is favorably re- garded as the place for next year’s annual meet _ When one states that Osmond ts contem- plating an attack on the records the sum of ali that can be said for Freddy is exposed.

A big voteis being cast in the election for division officers and the cycling club 1s. con- fident that their candidate, A. C. Davis, will be elected. At the last meeting of the South Sides Dr. J. H. Kennerly was elected as the club’s representative. In its benefit to physical and moral health the bicycle tasrendered great service. The fact thatits use in thiscountry began with gentlemen has set r standard which has been maintained. Althoughit has created a new branch of athletics, in which marvelous feats of skillhave been developed and man has been enabled tovie with the trotting horse asa racing animal, the wheelman’s sport, like yachting, has never been tainted with assocjations of low repute, and it has re- mained clean and honorable. 7 BOWLING.

We may say good by to the trophy forever unless we can persude our cousins to adopt Lord Dun- raven’s suggestion for uniform rating. We confess that we are not likely to lose by wéak or generous concessions any little advantage they have gained. The concensus of expert opinion appears tobe in favor of retaining the existing rule for another seven years, we hope that the New York Yacht Club, having conceded so much, will take further steps, which will alone bring the affair toa satisfac- tory issue. That there isany difficulty what- ever is undoubtedly due tosomething very much resembling breach of trust on the part ofsome of theirown members. The expan- sions and additions to the original deed of giftsamount to subversions of the letterand spirit of the intention of the donor. The Field says: ‘*‘We are not surprised that the New York Yacht Club decliues to attach Lord Dunraven’s conditions as a permanent clause in the deed, for,ifthe deed is valid, heclub has no power to alter its full condi. tions. The English vacht won under the con- ditions, the New York Yacht Club is now willing to accept any member of the club, or perhaps any American citizen could movein the courts to prevent thecup being handed over.’ THE TIGERS DOWNED. THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA LOWERS PRINCETON’S RECORD. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 5.—For the first time In eighteen years the University of Penn- sylyania has defeated Princeton on the foot- ball feld, Perhaps nota single person who attended the game and knew anything about the comparative strength of the two teams anticipated this result, but the fates were against Princeton from the very first and the toss of the penny which gave Pennsylvania the choice of goals at the beginning of the game foreshadowed the event. The gates of the fleld at Manheim were thrown open at 11 0’clock this morning, though’ the game was not to commence until 2:30 this afternoon, and when time was called, fully 20,000 persons were lookingon. The day was an execrable one for foot-ball. A strong wind was blowing directly down the fleld, giving one team an immense advantage. Pennsylvania won the toss and Chose the west goal, thus placing the wind at their backs. Thayer’s kicks were carried away an immense distance by it, and in the first ten minutes of play Penn- Sylvania scored a touchdown, Camp being pushed over the line, and Thayer kicked a goal. Time was called before either team gained any advantage, leaving the score 6 to0 infavor of Pennsylvania. Princeton men were stillconfident. Last year thelr team had failed to score in the first half, but had run up 24 points in the second. It seemed that Princeton was to do the same thing again, for King made a touchdown five minutes after play .commenced, buat Homans missed the goal. the fleld. Princeton went completely the defensive. not gain, she held her own, was6to4din her favor when time was called. KaNSAS UNIVERSITY, 26; IOWA, 4.

The Kansas boys had their full team on the fleild, Capt. Kenzie havy- ing recovered from his injuries. The lowans also had their strongest men on the ground. The game wasfor biood from beginning to end, but never was in doubt from théfirst downing of the ball. The Kansas boys out- played their opponents at all points, their team work and tackling as well as their round the end runs being the best ever seen here. Several lively scrimmages occurred, the iowa boys being terribly wrought up. Dumm of the Kansans was badly in- jured in making a long run around the endand hadto becarried fron the fleld. Hullof lowa made the oniy touchdown for his side, butthe goalwas not kicked. The Kansas boys scored five goals, from which three touchdowns were made. Wer U.: V8.

The foot-ball game between Yale and the University of Pennsylvania to be played at Manhattan. fleld next Saturday, promises to be one of the best of the season. The at- tendance is sure to be big as there is con- siderable anxiety on the part of the public to see these two crack varsity teams line up so astodrawaline on the probable resuitof the Thanksgiving Day game between Yaie and Princeton, The Princeton-Cornell game at Manhattan fleld, Nov. 16, will, itis belleved, create next to Thanksgiving Day’s game, the greatest interest ofany game played at Manhattan field this season. Every time the Manhattan Athletic Club approaches an election some of the Irre- sponsible members have the faculty of par- adingin public print to the injury ofthe club, the fact that itisin debt. The Board of Governors of the M., A. C. should take steps to ascertain the members who are guilty of trying to throw discredit on the organization and expel them from the club. The Manhatian Athletic Club is to-day dolng a better DbuSiness than any clubin the country. The receipts for dues for the first tenygmonths of the present fiscal year show a total of $117,000, against $102,000 for the corresponding perfod last year, a net increase of $15,000. It is also shown that theclub has done very nearly $6,000 more in house business for the first ten months of this fiscal year than in the first ten months of last year. Therefore it can be readily seen that the enemies of .the club, when they attempttothrow dlscredit on the club, Go so without any foundation on which to base their criticisms. WRESTLING.

Howard’s backer, to settle all doubts of his man’s sincerity, posted the full amount of Stake last nignt so that there is now no chance of either man drawing out.

New York, Nov. 5.—The following Is inter- esting and reliable information from a Yale foot ball player: If Yale does not win at Springfield it will not be because everything has not been done for her that wag possible to be done for any foot-ball team,’ From the very first the men have been carefully looked after and Capt. McCormick seems to have tried to avold reck- less, hard work at the beginning of the Season. Of course, there lave been accli- dents, and these accidents have assumed a serious aspect because Important men have been the unfortunate ones, However, if no further mishaps occur, Yale will send a team to Springfield in almost perfect physicai con- dition, Undoubtedly there will be a good deal of Kicking in the big games. | All the teams are well off in regard to respect, for, and Trafford at fu to fear in the dentiy by this scoring fro Sif to a rushing Princeton’#é€ pionship the ablest q , b s > Prey 4 ™ > e é + RR a te a ATHLETICS. “*- ; Cd , Me a4 oS = ‘a ’ vice for remedy are what make him vaiuable asa Captain. Homans is aying well, but no better than last year,and hutterworth will hold hisownin punting. With Poe at half, Princeton’s backs are light. ‘but all ground gainers. Princeton’s line as a whole will not compare with Yale’s. At New Haven the team has been sane gee behind closea doors for the past week, .\n will continue todoso until the end of the season. Princeton has already ‘followed Yale’s example. The Yale team has been slowly and steadily improving during the fall,and at times shows the genuine Yale dash. The men have been carefully handled by McCormick, who, by the way, is — himselfan excellent captain. The play o the team cannot lag when he ison the field, and his judgment in giving signals and ‘dl- recting the play is excellent. The team has been practically selected, ex- cept the three center men, This question is causing no little anxiety at New Haven. O’ Neill has not come up to expectations, and Ives cannot play on account of his rowing. This leaves Sanford, Stillman and Hickok for the center, andif Stillman can «eep up his present pace he will hold the position he has been working for so long. If Stillman mage center, Sanford will play guard. But if still- mandoes not make satisfactory improve- ment, Sanford will play at center and be flanked by Hickok and possibly McCrae, though McCraeis by no means certain ofa ogee inthisevent. The Yale tacklers are th stronger than ever before. Winter has taken a new start since Rhodes’ arrival, and Wallace seems to bo playing the game of his life. Yale can boast of the two best tackles on the foot-bDall fleld to-day. Hinkey is in good form and is playing a much harder game than he did last year. ihe fact that Coxe—who, as Hink- ey’s companion, played sucha beautiful end against Harvard in the freshman game —wilinot beable toplay has’ caused much disappointment. If Coxe was able to play Yale would have her ends guarded as well as they were lastyear. Coxe isa player much alter Hinkey’s style, and though he may piay as substitute he cannot play in the regular fames on accounls of an injury to the muscles of his ‘head nd neck. With Coch- rane’s hand broken, the place has fallen to Greenway, though Norton is pushing him hard for the position. Greenway plays his position .well, and jf he could put a little more snapin his play would be a good one. Norton is very fast and an excellent tackler. McCormick is probably the abiest man in the country to-day at quarter-back. Hisinterference is beautiful and he is a valuable factor in every play. His tackling issuperb and though his plunges through the line from full back will be missed, yet he iseven more valuable where he is. At present most of Yale’s backs are on the hospital list, but will all be playing again soon. L. Bliss has been nursing a twisted Knee almost allthe season and Graves has joined him with an injury ofthe same kind. Butterworth needs arestand Dyer sprained his ankle at. Springfield last week. ‘‘*Pop’’ Bliss is in good shape and is playing avery good game in his brother’s position. Yale is strong back of the line, All her backs are good runners and all can kick well. McClung will give special attention to their running ae odging and Bull has charge of the Kick- nz. To sum it allup Yale has a strong team and One that will acquit ttself creditabily f it does not win the championship. ‘The feeling at New Haven can scarcely be called confidence, for any one who knows anytiting about foot- ball can seethat Harvard and Princeton are strong, but Yale men will feel satisfied in two weeks from now to take their chances with the ‘supporters of the ‘other teams. While Helfletfinger was coach- ing at New Haven the report was. spread ebrond that he would playagain this year with Yale. Such, however, ts not the case, | Heffelfinger has played his : last m for Yale in person, although . his. rections,.{t is hoped, will be, followed for many years. iy & oe ee **From now on the play at New Haven will be devoted to developing the r, and it is hoped that this troublesome stion may soon be settled, Yale’s offensive play is splendid, often brilliant, but her defensive play must improve. Perhaps Yale has not en scored against for so long that the men are over-confident and think it cannot be done. But that idea must be done away with or Princeton will play the same trick on Yale that Yale played on Harvard during the airst. four minutes of the game last fall .-, THI vFIt sIKOL t em & dec is Ge- ' é # . er, Mr. Thomas Aitken, who will be onthe floor of the gymnasium every night, ready to advise and assist the athletes in their train- ing. .

The title to the take front Is Involved, ine cluding part ofthe site of the World’s Fair grounds, the property and privileges being valued at from $70,000,000 to §100,000,000, Whether the decision is favorable to the rall- road company or adverse to it, the interests involved are momentous.

Protest was made by the city authorities of Chicago and grave charges Were made respecting the influences that had prevailed with the Legigiatare to secure the grant. The land had’ been ac- quired by grant from the general Goverment through the State tothe city, and the ci authorities insisted that the ee could not dispose of it absolutly to the rall- road company. AD appeal was at once taken ( the court, and protracted and complica litigation has followed. Some three y ago Mr. Justice Herlan of the Supreme Court of the United States, sitting at Chicago, heard the case, and decided it prostorny in favor the City of is ee hat is to say Ba Ms that while the lllinois Central Ra Co had acquired certain righ along the lake front and a not be d possessed of them, he denied that the a lute title of the iand and the entire control the lake front had passed to the company.

Corruption Can Only Be Prevented by Electing Good Men. _ OFFICIAL CONDEMNATION OF BOTH WM. ZACHRITZ AND BEN CLARK.. Judge Laughlin’s Decision in the Case in Which Olark Was Convicted of Em- Dezzlement—What a Grand-Jury Had to Say of the Impsdiments Thrown in the Way of Enforcing the Law by Assistant Circuit Attorney Zachritz. The October Grand-jury, which closed its work Thursday and submitted a report call- ing attention to the Four Courts and City Hall abuses of power and authority, madea Suggestion of a most pertinent character. The persons responsible for the abuses com- plained of will, as a matter of course, con- sider the Grand-jury’s recommendation a most impertinent one. Here is what the jury said, after reviewing the high-handed doings ofthe City Hall and Four Courts rings: Itisa difficult task requiring time and patience to correct evils which seem to be common ina greater or less degree toall large municipalities, and the true remedy after all lies in the elective franchise under which the people should take care to select capable and honest men to serve them. Is Ben Clark sucha manascan be trusted to properly fill the position of Circuit Attor- ney?’ CONVICTED OF EMBEZZLEMENT. Another reason, anda most potent one, why Ben Clark should not be made Attorney of this city, with its popu- lation of more than 500,000 people lies in the fact that he was convicted of embezzling funds intrusted to his keeping by a poor old widow named Eliza- beth Jones. While actingas her attorney in 1884, Clark, according to the record in the books of the St. Louis Court of Criminal Cor- rection, misappropriated money to the a@mount of $13.80,. the rightful prop- erty of an indigent widow. The record of this case is part of the history of the Correction Court and is obtainable. The warrant for his arrest was sworn out Aug. 20, 1884, before W. J. Reed, who was then Acting Assistant Prosecuting Attorney. The a. Preaent Mayor, Ed Noonan, was then Judge of the Court of Correction, but he did not try the Clark case. Hewas absent from the bench and Judge Henry D. Laughlin was the Provisional Judge. On Aug, 27, Clark was arraigned and pleaded not gullty. He was tried, and the testimony all in, Jud augh- lintook the case under advisement. Two days later he rendered his decision, adjudg- ing Clark guilty and fixing the punishment at a@ fine of $50. JUDGE LAUGHLIN’S DECISION. Among other th:ngs, Judge Laughlin said fin his written opinion: The defendant is prosecuted for embezzlement under sec. 1320, which provides as follows: ‘if any agent, clerk, servant, appointee or col- lector of any private person or of any co-partnership except persons so employed under the age of 16, shall embezzie orconvert to his own use any money or goads which shall have come into his possession or under his care by virtue of such employment, he shall upon conviction be punished as for stealing such money or goods.’”’ The evidence shows that the prosecuting witness, an old lady, had recovered a judgment before a Justice of the Peace for $13 against an employe of the Fifth street railroad. She emploved the defend- ant to coliect the claim for her and di- rected him to garnishee the wages of her debtor in the hands of the road. Bhe paid him his fee of $5 in money inadvance. He compromised the claim and coilected $10 of the amount due theoldlady. Henever reported the collection, but denied it. She called on him several times after the monev had been actually paid him, and he told her he had collected nothing. Her daughter called, I believe, the middie or lat- ter part of April and to her he denied the collection. The daughter then requested him to abandon the matter, but he insistec on retaining control of the case. Subsequently the old lady ascertained otherwise than through the accused that the claim had een paid, and, failing to get anv responseto her written communication or to find him either at his office or residence, procured this complaint. After this and not befure and after a period of eight wonths from the date ef the coliection he admitted it. He then went to her, her he had the money an: showed hera roll of bills and probably tendered her the amount due, though she denies that he offered it to her. Itis claimed by defendant that he is an attorney- at-law, and assuch he was employe! to make a col- lection, and this is admitted by the State. Under this preoflam compelled to convict the defendant unless one of his points raised by his counse! is well taken. The court then reviewed the technical points urged and concluded in this strain: Under the evidence there is no alternative buta conviction of the defendant and as ne is amenable, the fact that he isa lawyer aggravates the offense. Hs convicted and his punishment assessed at a fine ° CONSIDERED'IT AGGRAVATED. W Judge Laughlin’s opinion shows very de- cidedly that he considered it a most aggra- vated case. But Clark eseaped punishment afterall. Hedid not«pay the fineand the claim the State holds against him, according to the record, is still unsatisfied. When Judge Noonan retured to the bench Olark got in his work and got a motion ‘granted. On Sept.5 of the same year the case was reset andit was never called up again. And yet Clark thinks he is entitled tothe yotes of the Democratic party of this city. The embezzlement case is only one of the ints that have been urged®* against Mr. lark. Only last January, while the police were working to break up a gambling den on Clark bobbed up as the champion of these gamblers. The police raided the den and among others arrested Brick Thompson, the notorious proprietor. City Attorney J. J. Butler then demonstrated how well he could trust :Clark, his favoriteally. He put Clark at the docket desk and when the cases were called that worthy promptly dismissed them The police were enragedand again ar- rested Thompson. It was then Clark came to the front openly as their attorney. last winter while acting COiry Attor. ney, Clark dismissed a case against Nick Karr, the First Ward politician who had been arrested for disturbing the peace of , @ professor in theSt. Louts rs. Fry and several others, who happened to be passengers at the time on a Union Depot car. When Mr. Fry appeared with his attorney to pros- ecute the case, Clark coolly informed him he Th@only rea- Art School, did not believe there was Bay ching in the scase. And yet, Mr. Clark was then acting as 4 prosecutor forthecity pledged and bouna ‘o help enforce the city ordinances. | : HIS PLEA. Despite his record, which 1s unpleasantly us, he persists in his efforts to ae Democrats to support ghtiy he is on the stump every body who ever even da that he was notthe right man for office.

Mr. Zachritz’s peculiar usefulness to the workers lies in his ability to make indict- ments defective thus knock out prosecutions when it suits the ring’s purpose. In other words a Granda- jury might indict a criminal and Zachritz would come along and defeat the ends of jus- tice by drawing up an illegal indictment. Zachritz became very bold early in the resent year when he began to look around or supporters in his candidacy for re- election. Through the _ efforts of a number of Christian ladies anp- palled by theruinous influences of the low concert halls, the attention of the Grand- jury was called to the statute forbidding _ employment of women as singers in They secured evidence against seven of the dive-keepers and presented it to the Grand-jury, It was convincing, and as many indictments weredrawn up. Then Mr. Zachritz got in his work. It was his dauty as Assistant Oircuit Attorne to draw up the indictments. Any lawyer familiar with the statutes and rules of practice is supposed to be able to draw up a simple indictment. PROTECTING THE DIVES. When the cases were called fortrial the indictment against Hugo Zeller was taken up for the test case. Chester H. Krum and Jonn 1, Martin handled the defense. When the in- dictment was taken up it was foundto be fatally defective. It was of course knocked out, Mr. Zachritz making that motion him- self. This was indeed an unusual proceed- tors of the rings ing. Zachritz was severely criticised and when the next Grand-jury met the indictments were renewed. These casesare still pending, however, and will likely stay that way as long as the present ring ison topatthe Four Courts. Zachritz made himself par- ticularly offensive last spring when Collector Zfegenhein was dumping saloons by the dozenin neighborhoods thatdid not want them. Evidence was presented to show that Ziegenhein had repeatedly vio- lated the law and paid noattentionto the protests of citizens. Among other evidence presented tothe jury was Ziegenhein’s own statement made before’ the Council Investigating Committee. Mr. Zachritz then came to the rescue of his friend who had aided him so materially in getting his office. He sent the weakest wit- nesses before the jury and coached Julius Wurzburger, the collector’s chief deputy. Wurzburger was thus enabled to Keep away the witnesses who could give the strongest evidence. The indignation of the citizens who had the evidenee and who were prevent- ed from giving it by Zachritz, was increased when the jury adjourned without finding a true bill against the coilector who had out- raged their rights as citizens and taxpayers. GRAND-JURY’S PROTEST. During the summera Grand-jury was found with sufficient nerve totake up the ‘‘pusn,’’ but Zachritz, desirous of making political capital, stood by the law-breakers. The ma- jority of the jury had indictments, but a minority hung out and Zachritz coached them. The majority protested against such influences and so recorded themselves in open court and inacardto the public. In that protest the jury, among other things, sald: Several days ago the jury heard evidence which resulted in the finding ofa true bill against a .de- fendant whose guilt was discovered during the ex- amination of another case. When we submitted our partial report one day later it was expected by those who voted for the bill that this was one ofthe papers handed your honor. Finding the next day that it haa been held back by the Assistant Prose- cuting Attorney, we instructed him to prepare the paper forthwith, and yesterday morning we entered this court for the — of reporting that indict- mentand three others. The protest then states that th!s particular indictment, Mr. Zachritz having failed in his effort to keep it DACK. was pocketed by one of the Grand-jury minority and adds: When itis stated that the man affected by the indictment is a city official and Is generaily recog- nized as belonging to what is known as the **push,’’ this high-handed yroceeding becomes all the more significant. The Grand-jurymen whothus charged Mr. Zachritz with prostituting his office to defend a criminal politician, and signed their names to the charge, are John S. Moffitt, President of the Moffiitt-West wholesale drug house, a member of the Board of Charity Commission- ers and Chairman ofthe Lilunination Com- mittee of the Fall Festivities Association; Alexander Forbes, F. H. Ingalls and Alex. Juda, wholesale and retail merclants; James E. Gatewood, the treasurer of a corporation; Emil Becker and William Baggott,real estate men,and Harry E. Hayward, an insurance agent and a member of the University Ciub. These are only afewof the reasons why Zachritz should not be re-elected. His record from the day he stepped into office until to-day has been anything Mt creditable. THE PEOPLE’S REMEDY. The voters of St. Louis who have any in- terest in purity and efficiency in the ad- ministration of affairs at the Four Courts havearemedy. A number of electors realiz- ing the danger of putting elther Clark or Zachritz in .the Circuit Attorney’s Office went to work and hada the name of ex-Gov. Charles P. Jdtnson ofthelaw firmof vohn- son & Johnson placed upon the ticket. A Republican can show his interest in an honest Four Courts. administration by scratching Zachritz and writing in Gov. Johnson’sname. Gove Johnson is one of the leading criminallawyers ofthe country and has been very successful in his profession. Criminal lawihas been the study of his life. He served the city with ability as Circuit Attorney years ago, and for four years was the Lieutenant-Governor of the State, He made no application for any nomina- tion, the placing of hisname onthe ticket having been the spontaneous act of thou- sands of voters who want some respnecta- bility and efficiency introduced in the con- duct of the criminal courts. Universal Love of Flowers. ‘*Flower missions’’ aren’t popular with hard-headed men. They seem altogether too fanciful ana sentimental to be of any use to the ve ople wnom they endeavor to reach; but they aren’t. The idea that the poorer and more crowdeda class of human beings are the less they care for anything but food and drink, comes handy to any one who wishes to close his heart and pocket against appeals from all sorts of missions; but, so far as flowers are concerned, I’ve recently learned that it doesn’t work. Not long ago I brought into the city a great Cluster of common garden flowers to give to a friend; I had to pass through one of the worst parts of the city, and, just at that time and near me, there was a street fight, an organ-grinder with a monkey and a break- down of a wagon loaded with apples; yet I soon found my handfu of flowers the principal attrac- tion. Men and women looked admiringly and longingly; adrunken tramp braced up and walked beside me, and soon I found my- self followed by scores of street children whose manners would have been creditable to a mode] Sunday school. ‘*‘Gi’mme a flower, mister?’’ asked one after another. In two or three minutes they got the whole lot, and, instead of fighting over them,those who got none clustered peacefully and admiringly adout the lucky ones. Then I beganto look around me, and in the windows of two blocks of a tenement-house street I saw more flowers than are on all Fifth avenue. JOHN HABBERTON, Called Down.

Ante-Election Literature—He Says He Believes iu the Organization—The First Ministerial Declaration. At the close ofthe prayer services at St. Mark’s English Evangelical Lutheran Church, Bell and Cardinal avenues, on Wednesday evening last the pastor, Rev. Mosheim Rhodes, announced to the large congregation that as the igentlemen pres passed from the edifice they woul men standing at the door, which he @d@ especially the members of his church té take home and, after reading them, to seriously consider the contents. He stated that he;+had read the literature and had found it to be worthy the attention of any honorable man, After the prayer meeting closed, and As the gentlemen members passed from the church they were handed the circulars by two men who stood on either side of the door. When the reverend divine passed from the house of worship he was also handed a package of the literature, which he carefully stowed away in his overcoat pocket and departed for his boarding-house. The members ofthe church having thelr curiosity excited over Rev. Rhodes’ remarks immediately upon their ar- rivalhome,reviewed the circulars andtotheir astonishment found that the literature was the most {lliberal A. P. A. circulars. Quitea number ofthe church members proclaimed that Rev. Rhodes had been made the victim ofa vile conspiracy and was not aware of the nature of the literature he had advised his members to consider, while others, could not understand why their pastor had taken oc- casionto mix up religion with politics by advising his members to carefully peruse the campaign literature of the American Protec- tive Association. DR. RHODES SEEN. A PoS8T-DISPATCH reporter called at the boarding-house of Dr. Rhodes, No. 3038 Easton avenue last evening, but the gentle- man was notin. Acallat St. Mark’s Church was more successful, as the reverend doctor was found study. When the nature reporter’s busi- ness was known, Dr. Rhodes began to write a postal, withthe remark that he only had a minute’stimeto makea call in and had little or no time to discuss any- thing. Whenasked if he did not advise his congregation to read certain circulars that were handed them as they passed from his church last Wednesday night, he said: ‘‘Asa matter of course I did.’’ **Did you Know the motive of those circu- lars, Doctor?’’ ‘*‘I did. It wasA. P. A. literature.’’ ‘*Had you read them before you made your request to the congregation?’’ ‘*] most certainly had. I had read them carefully, and I indorse the methods and principles of the American Protective Assv- clation.’’ Atthis juncture of the conversation Dr. Rhodes addressed his postal card, and put on his overcoat with the remark: ‘‘I must be offnowasl have a pressing engagement. Ifyou want to Know the contents ofthat circular, here is one, you can have it.’’ BELIEVES IN THE A, P. A. After handing the reporter one of the cir: culars, he left the church and was joined by the reporter, who Kept up the conversation. Stopping on a corner the doctor concluded: ‘*A gentleman came to me the first of the week, I don’t remember his name, and, handing one of the circulars, asked me I would allow him (to distribute them to the members of my congregationon Wednesday evening.

He wasa portly and dignified business man of Oakland, and he crossed onthe narrow- gauge boat Encinal to San Francisco yester- day, accompanied by a stalwartcane. The boat was a little late in freaching the slipat the moleand the passengers from three trains were waiting when the doors were opened. The man with thecane crossed the lower deck, and grasping the _stair-rail. tucked his faithful stick under his arm und prepared to ascend. Half way up he dropped a little parcel he held in his hand, and stoopedto pick itup. Ashe did so the iron ferrule of his cane struck the chin of a charm- ing society belle of Oakland,who was directly behind him. There was a feminine shriek and a momentary backward movement of the crowd, which caused the man with the cane toturn and look behind him, the cane tray- ersinga semicircle about his rotund form as he moved. It caught a well-known politi- clanfrom the Bay City directly in the ear, administered a gentle tap onthe cheek ofa eemee divine and captured the hat from the head of an indignant woman, whose vocifer- ous protest reached the earsof the uncon- scious offender, who, anxious tolearn if the whole crowd had gone mad, made another turn, The cane took a downward course this time, planting its iron point gently but firmly justabovethe last vest button ofa rising young attorney who had been just about to serve an injunction on the offending rod. Instead he executed an involuntary obeisance, and the wand of subjection pass- ing over his head, describing a paraboly that cut clean through the cloud of semi-legal pro- fanity that was beginning toimpart a bluish tinge to the atmosphere, prodded the eye of one passenger, fiillipped playfully the nose of another and finished up its work by catching in the back hair .of its original victim. There is no knowing what developments might have followed the next turn had not a quick-witted passenger reached up and with his hand struck down the projecting point, witha forcible injunction to the bearer to keep it down. Ittook the battered pass- engersthe wholetime of thetrip across to take a copnt of damages sustained,and when the boat reached e wharf they were stilldebating whe they should pitch the fool with the cane overboard or point him outtothe members of the band as the man who enjoyed hearing ‘‘Comrades’’ played and would always giveadime to the fiends executing that musical masterpiece.

NELSON ANALYZES THE NEW YORE LABOR COMMISSIONER’S FIGURES. Labor Commissioner Peck’s Report has excited a good deal of interest. It shows an increase of wages in New York State during the period that the McKinley bill has been in force. Certain facts in relation to this re- port are admitted; that it {s based wholly upon the voluntary statements of such man- facturers as chose to respond; that the state- ments are strictly confidential, and, there- fore, safe from exposure or verification; that the report hasa direct bearing on the ques- tion of protection, and that Mr. Peck is an ardent Hill man and nota Cleveland man. This report, issued immediately before an election, hurried out of the usual course by unfriendly hands and based upon the ex parte statements of voluntary and interested witnesses, has been attacked as unreliable. Statistics, at best, are suspicious, unless coming from able and unbiased authority. When derived from sources such as Mr. Peck used, they are absolutely worthless. There is not the shadow of mathematical certainty in them. Mr. Peck obtained all his information from manufacturers, in response to circulars sent by mail. In this respect the method is siml- lar to that pursued by Commissioner Wadlin of Massachusetts in his inquiry into the prof- its of manufacturing in that State. The Mas- sachusetts Bureau has been conducted for many years, and, being better known, woulda perhaps secure more attention and more re- liable information than would the newer bu- reau of New York State. Mr. Peck’s report isof so Hmited a character and based so purely upon the ex-parte statements of his unknown correspondents, that itis impossi- ble to dissect and either verify or dis- pute it; but the sources of information and the method of obtaining the information, are precisely the same as those employed by the Massachusetts Commissioner. Mr. Wad- lin spent a year in ascertaining the net prof- its of manufacturing in his State. He ar- rived at the conclusion that a division of profits between wage-earners and the own- ers of the capital would make it a little worse for labor than it is now. This statistical won- der book was as welcome to people with a social conscience as was the work of Malthus one hundred years ago. Malthus followed sharp on the heels of Adam Smith with the assurance that human misery was the God- ordained method of keeping population down, and that starvation wasthe means Providence had arranged for assuring enough to eat to the anointed. This being so, there Was no good in trying to save the submerged tenth from their own folly in being born. So with Mr. Wadlin’s report. If the poor workingman, the sewing-woman, the children would really get less pay on equal division, they had better hold on to a good thing and let Bellamy and the other reformers alone, Labor better keep quiet, lest the capitalist should discover the in- justice being done him and call for a new deal and lower wages. My friends Dr. E. E. Hale and Dr. H. A. Stimson, quoted this to me with some _ surprise, and, possibly, a little relief, They certainly would not have believed it, except that the official statistics said so. Their own eyes and common sense would have disputed it, but forthe reverent conf- dence that learned men give to menof facts and affairs. Mr. Wadlin kindly sent mea copy of his report; and, after finishing one of Kipling’s most impossible stories, I turned to this solemn collection of 400 pages of figures with childlike confidence in its Infallibility. Let me give some illustrations of the absurd- ities that can be reached by the methods fol- lowed by Mr. Peck and Mr, Wadlin, The returns of manufacturers were sent Mr. Wadlin on blanks furnished by him. Each manufacturer filled this out to suit himself. They were not verified in any way. The manufacturer wasto lay before Mr. Wadlin, and through him before the world (though without publishing names) the amount of his business, the amount of his capital, the amount of his debts, the rate of wages paid and the amount of his profits. Now, let any business man run his eye over these questions and say how an hon- est manufacturer’s instinctive leanings woula affect the answers. Would he not make his capital and his business large, his debts and his profits small, and his wages high? Would there not be many not so punctiliously honest, wbo would vary these items largely from the truth? The strong proprietor’s pride is at stake in a good round capital, the weak one’s safety is at stake. the bed-rock capital? Would he want toap.-— of small girls and boys may he not leave working people? arrive at yearly wages by multiplying the’ days in the year? urer ina hundred keeps books so that these such books as would enable them to get at * the facts accurately atall. There is no profit . or statistical theorles. There is nothing which requires him to answer atall, or to an- swer accurately, or to answer candidly, But we need not depend on theory to discover the unreliability of ~ data obtained in this manner. In a numberof. cent a year. print and dyeing industries. these important industries would be every three years. But herecomesthe most remarkable part of this most re- markable report. In a foot note, which apparently was added after the report was in print, the Commissioner says dently erroneous; that, in making their re- the cloth as raw material, but had given themselves. possible a report so glaringly absurd, can be of no value whatever. A bureau, which could accept sucn information and proceed to use it in its calculations and deductions, is untrustworthy in every respect. at the average earnings of partners and . stockholders, Mr. Wadlin first deducts5 per cent interest, not only on the entire capital, merchandise debts. production 10 per cent for depreciation on» plant, Ina table showing what the change would be in wages if the profits of all certain have to contribute $486 a year, besides work- ing for nothing. woulda have to contribute $108 a year for each another, $100 a year. share alike division between stockholders stockholder has received wages wherever he has been working, ana has also been allowed 65 per his money. He inciudes interest not only on cash capital but on credit capital, in ex- penses. not only on capital owned by the mana- facturers, but on allthat they have borrowed and allthat they have on credit. Every pri- vate partner in cotton goods firms lost $2,891, and every stockholder $471. In some of his tables, it appears that workmen in private firms receive more than twice the rate of pay that workmen for corporations in same industry receive. In another workmen in corporations no: twice as much as most all the occupations, there is a remark~- private parties and by corporations, some- times one being Righerand sometimes the other. Allof these illustrations,and many more could be added, of the incongruity and unreliability of such reports, showing con- clusively the entire lack of statistical value in such reports as these of Peck and Wadlin. Yet these statistical conclusions are, in the nished by 13,000 Massach manufactur- ers. They are entitled to the same evi- sense anda little common honesty is all that. is needed to wholly reject them. Our obser- vation as to Massachusetts manufacturers is that they make money—lots of it, Our ob-~ servation as to wages In the last two years is | very few advances.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 5.—The practice of the University team during the past weck has been marred by a dull and lifeless spirit amongthe men. The best thing, the only thing,the Harvard team can doto winagainst Yale'ls to make an inymediate selection of the men whoareto compose the team and set to work drilling them in their place. Toacertain extent thisisimpossibie, as some of the menare laid up. Lake, Lee, hewell, Waters and Gray have not been laying during the week, but they are not seriously injured. It has finally been decided that Lewis, flanked by Waters and Acton, is the strongest center that Harvard can pre-. gent. Lewis’ presence seems to infuse new life ana activity into the team, and he has grown to be avery popular man. Mason is the most prominent camilidate for left-tackle, while Captain Trafford Is doing great work at quarter. The Chicago Athietic-Harvard game showed twothings with regard tothe Har- vard team—first, that it has an excellent de- fense game, and second, that the offensive work behind the Nneand in interference is very weak attimes. Lee, atieft half-back, showed by his fumblingin the first haifof the game that hislack of experiencein the last two years has militated againsthim. He was alsosiow in getting off withthe ball,a mistake which, if not corrected, would ren- er him liableto betackled everytime ina ale game. Gray plays a game which is pure and brilliant, aithough he, too, at times is apt to be slow In starting. Asa team Harvard is playing poorly on the offense. The runvers are siow in starting andthey are attimes helped by one or two men only, whereas every mancan beof as- sistance to advance every play.

NEW HAVEN, Conn., Nov, 5.—The ‘*Yale spirit,’’ of which so much is heard, is shown in no better way thanin the readiness with which the old captains and coaches leave their occupations and come toNew Havenat the call of the capiain ofthe eleven.

This much proof ofitstruth, but because many . things went to show it, , Yale men in the Harvard law school were by some Harvard supporters accused of convey- ing this valuable information to the foot-ball powers at New Haven, but there was not the Ssiightest evidence of such transaction, except the possibility that it could be carried out. Now itis known that Yale did understand the Harvard signals, and that within twenty minutes from the time the Springfleld game was started every man knew just where every Harvard runner was totry his rush, The authority for this statement Is ‘‘Josh’* Hartwell, the captaih of the winning °'93 Yale crew andend rusher on the victorious eleven who, not so long ago, admitted toa friend what has just been stated. But the signals were not learned at Cambridge; they were deciphered at Springfleld after the. game began and not long after, either. The code of signals used by Harvard was an extremely, unnecessarily simple one, and, after Lake, Corbett and Trafford had made a few bucks against the rush line, some bright man on the Yale team Degan to comprehend the words which Quarter-Back Gage was shouting. It took ouly a few more rushes to make the belief become a certainty, and from that time to the end of the game Harvard made parsiy a movement which Yale was not ready o stop. Every time that Corbett or Lake ran into the rush line he found two men, instead of one, waiting forhim. The Harvard: players saw the two Yale men there, but could not understand why the New Haven pened to be in the right place at the right time. Under this treméndous handicap obtained by Yale in a perfectly fair manner, but just as disastrous in its consequences to Harvard as though Yale had acquired it in any other way. the Oambridge eleven was beaten by 0 points. The wonder Is, now that this explanation is made, not that Harvard did not score, Dut that the ball was ever out of Harvard’s ter- ritory, and thatthe Oambridge eleven made such a good showing as it did. All the Harvard men were surprised at the crude e Of foot-ball played by Capt. Trafford’s team.

WALTER BESANT DISCUSSES THE IDEA OF DISCOURAGING ART, Written for the SuNDAY PoOSsT-DISPATCH. Awriterinthe New York Nation enters a plea for the discouragement ofart. He con- tends—we seem to have heard the same thing before—that by our schoois of art, scat- tered over the whole world, we are flooding the said world with painters, sculptors and designers who were intended by nature to makeup parcels on a shop counter. The fame kind of thing has been said of our schools for music. Let us, therefore, consider. It is quite true that an artist cannot be made; yet itis also true that an artist must be taught. It is, further, quite true that by multiplying schools we do not multiply genius. That remains the same; @ 6mall and variable quantity supplied by nature without consulting our wishes at all. Let us not confuse things. We donot create Wedonot often discover genius. What reason is there, then, why we should continue the present **fiooding’’ process? First of ail, if we close our schools of art and music we at once close the artistic education of the country ; we drop back into the old quag- mires where there were no standards, no no appreciation possible, be- cause nobody understood the first elements ofthe technique. Our schools, atleast, do this; they teach See ae Se ,* Funther. in the various circies of which society sists, there is always the demand for art of some A musical society is founded,a sketch ing club, an aimateur dramatic company, at ‘Nene suburban which these cultivators of the Muse may rg and improve.

These are most signifi- cant facts. Nothing could be more significant. They seem to show, first of all, that our politics are eagerly watched and followed by a certain section—one knows not how large—of the American public; they show thata modern British Prime Minister thinks it dignified and useful to defend his policy in a foreign jeurnal, and that he is anxious to win the approval ofthe American public. If wecanimagine Mr. Blaine seek- ing the columns of the Contemporary to ex- plain the reasons—apart from the Irish vote —of his hatred for England;1f we can imag- ine Mr. Cleveland, on the eve of the election, explainingtothe TJimes by what insults to England he intends to bid for the Irish vote; if we can imagine the Presi- dent of the French Republic writing in the Nineteenth Century his intention of going to war with Germany first and Great Britain sfterwards—then we shail find a par- allel to this paper of Mr. Gladstone’s. I do not in the least degree venture to criticise or to condemn this action. I am not a poll- ticlan. If, on elther sidethe Atlantic, we could make our opinions of each other heard across the ocean; ifthose opinions grew to have solid weight it might bean excelle thing. As yet, however, the explanation are allon one side. It is now the Americans turn; we await with impatience the voice of Mr. Cleveland, Mr. Harrison or Mr, Blaine in exchange for that of Mr. Gladstone. Being in the city last Sunday morning I ob- served an announcement on the doorposts of St. Katharine Cree church that the ‘‘Lion’’ sermon was to be preached that day. Il therefore wentin. But Iwas disappointed. The ‘‘Lion’’ sermon was fortheevening. So Ihearditnot. Itisan interesting relic. It was founded in the year 1648 by Sir John Gayer, ex-Lord Mayor, in memory of an escape from a lion in the desert. I once got into trouble for sug- gesting that the lion, in gratitude for escaping from a company of men armed with guns, founded an annual ‘‘Man’’ Sermon, which is still performed in the neighborhood of Tadmor in the Desert. I was, therefore, naturally anxious to hear this discourse. The church itself is interesting as the latest specimen of the latest so-called Gothic. It is aiso interesting as having been the scene of a highly elaborate ritual when Archbishop Laud consecrated it. Antiquarians may visit it for the opportunity—now so scarce—of seeing a black gownin the pulpit. There are some good monuments, andthe congregation, for a city church, is respectable. It belongs to a corner of the city rich in history and associations. Once there were four parishes lying on the north of the church. They were all swallowed up by that rich and great foundation, the Priory of Holy Trinity. Then the-St. Katharine people got permission to build a churchin the Priory Cemetery, so that the ground on which the church stanas is filled with the dust of dead Benedictines. Then the Priory was dissoived, andits buildings aestroyed. Anew parish church, called St. James’, was built on the site of the Priory church. That is now taken down andthe site built over. But a court of the old abbey yet remains, It was formerly Duke’s place, andisnowW St. James’ place, Untilthe endof the last century there was still standing a gateway of the ancient Priory, St. James’ place is now a great market for cocoanuts and foreign fruit of all Kinds. Last Sunday there was buying and selling inacorner of this square. Costers were purchasing new walnuts at 2 pencea sack, I believe, the sack being a bag about 18 inches high, Outside the kerb the boys walit- ed to scramble for any stray Walnuts that might come rolling over. Among the many tributes to the memory of Tennyson isone by Prof, Charles Stanford, which issimple, and yet direct, sincere and instructive. It appeared in the Cambridge Re- view, & small paper devoted as arule, to topics of pure University interest. As my readers are not likely to see this paper, I venture to giveafew factsfromit. Alfred Tennyson was entered as a Pensioner at Trinity College on Nov. 9, 1827, and matric- Charles, on then in his s even knew his writing, He lived first in -crescent, ina mm 3 now No, 12, which were James Spedding, Thackeray, Monckton Milnes, Ww. H, Thompson (Master of .Trinity), J. Ww. Blakesley (Dean or Lincoln), and Arthur Hallam, The last of this nobie group lived inthe New Court of Trinity, LetterG, No.8. Wouldit not be wellif the college rooms of great men could be marked by a tablet of some kind? Tennyson took no degree. It was fifty years later when Dr. Stanford made the poet’s ac- quaintance by writing the incidental ‘music for his drama of ‘‘Queen Mary.’’ He lived, as we know, secluded; he was nota man for clubs and gatherings. His life was method- icaland simple; always a two hours’ walk every morning, and another, but shorter, every afternoon. His manner of reading poetry has often been de- scribed. It wasachant rather than a declamation. A voice ofdeepand penetrating power, varied only by alteration of note and by intensity of quality. The notes were few, and he rarely read on more than two, except atthe cadence ofa passage, when | the voice would slightly fall. He often accompanied his reading by gentle rippling gestures with his fingers. As a rule he adhered more to the quantity of a line than the ordinary reciter, forhehadtherare gift of making the accent felt without perceptibly altering the prosody. Without being a musician, he had a great appreciation of the fitness of music to its subject, and wasan unfalling qoane of musical declamation. As he expressed it imself, he disliked music which went up when It ought to go down, and went down when it ought to go up. I never knew him wrong in his sugges- tions on this point. : Thisisas muchas I venture to quote. I would suggest, however,that a most interest- ing volume might be made by collecting to- gether all the verses and articles which ap- peared in the papers on the poetand his funeral. Immediately on the death of Tennyson cer- tain poets wrote and sent to the papers verses of lament and commemoration. What more natural fora poet than to express his thoughts in verse? What more graceful than to lay his verses on thecoffinof his brother poet? What is worse taste than to accuse these poets of ‘‘makinga bid’’—such was the happy phrase em ployed—for the laureate- ship? Yet this has been doneand has been copied by one paper after another. ‘‘Makea bid!’” Asif whatever any one wrote at this moment would affect the issue in the least! Whoisit thatdoes these things? Not any man of literary standing, surely. Yet the greatest enemies of authors have always been their brother authors. All the papers speak of the place assigned to the United States Minister as one of the pall-bearers at the funeral as an interna- tional courtesy—an act ofrecognition. By this act we say tothe United States, ‘‘You have had a part—an equal share with our- selves—of the great man’s life, which is ex- pressed in his work. Come, Take an equal share with ourselves in the honor which the nation pays him athisdeath.’* No manin the memory of living men, except the great Duke, has had. such honor, nor was the Duke himself laid in his grave with such genuine anda uni- versal sorrow. It was the best and truest feelings which prompted this invitation to the United States to join with us in mourning over the iIliustrions dead. Was a similar thing done in the funeral of Charles Dickens, Thackeray or Robert Browning? And one may also ask, was the Englisn Minister at Washington invited to become pall bearer at the funeral of Longfellow or Lowell? We must not cease to practice international courtesies, whether they are returned or not. At the same time, friendly acts are rendered with more heart if they are returned in the same friendly spirit. Here is another coincidence. There was related in the Voice ofa fortnight ago alittle story of the man who drew from all his friends confession full and detailed of all their wickednesses. He wasavery remark- able man if hereally possessed the power which he fully believed himself to possess. Now a correspondent writes to me that he bas long been imagining and constructing a character who should possess exactly such a wer, and that he designs to make him the eading person Inastory. Very good. No- body can imagine anything outside the possi- bilities of nature. I shall look with interest for the appearance of the story. late myself on having told my ex fore that story has been published, therefore beyond the suspicion of plagiarism. Is an author ever justified in turning upon his critics? The point has been disputed: | For my own part,I think thereare times. when it is wise forhim to doso. Thecritic] .. is sometimes incompetent, sometimes ma- | him, andthe editor can, and probably will, lamj- “© 4 : . : ; 3 a ; ) . alee - : it ee | t : * + » & - ey ~ ~Rey ss x v = Mi = 7h y t 4 .

He may even go so far asto administer what is popularly known as the Boot, Thomas Hardy, in the new edition of ‘‘Tess’’—that } strong and noble novel—has been speaking out, in the preface to the new edition, and very much to the purpose. Perhaps the words most apt to the matter are those which he quotes from Schiller: ‘‘As soon as I observe that anyone, when judg- ing poetical representations, considers anything more important than the inner Necessity and Truth, I have done with him.’’ The special reason, however, why 1 ask this question at the present moment is that I have just seen a ‘‘review’’—one of a batch— in the Athenaeum of anovelof my own, The following is the reviewer’s brief, but singu- larly happy, resume of the story: He draws a banker who unconsciously lives a double life, being a hard and close-fisted man in his bank parlor, but a benevolent Socialist in his sec- ondary and comatose phase. The dreamsof Mr. Dering come true. At any rate, they extend over many years; his philanthropic repute is firmly es- tablished, and as Edmund Gray of Gray’s Inna he lavishes money on the poor and needy. Very well. Now mark the facts, There is no bankerinthe story at all; he does not do anything in a bank parior; he gets no philan.- thropic reputation; none of his dreams come true: he never lavishes any money atall on the poorand needy. This isa very pretty bundle of bungles tomake oOvera review in six lines, is it not? The story, called ‘‘The Ivory Gate,’’ is, In fact, a study of a very curious, and happlly rare, brain disease, in the treatment of which the author, as he owns in a dedica- tlon, was indebted toa scientific expert for guidance and advice. banker, butasolicitor. Thisis necessary to the plot, and is so far insisted upon thata fourth partof the action of the story takes place in the solicitor’s office, with the assist- ance and machinery of his office and his clerks—the latter playing an important part. The nature ofthe brain disorder is such that at one part of his time the patient is this lawyer, with the lawyer’s convictions and prejadices On the subject of property, and for the rest of the time he is the same man outwardly, buta Socialist and an advocate of Socialism. Hedoes not lav- ish money on the poor; once only he gives a coin toa poor woman; to say that he does this argues a deplorable !gnorance, not only of this book, but of the first principles of So- cialism. He forms, it is true, one or two projects which would cost money if carried out, but he abandons them because he finds that the money would be wasted. He makesno reputation; he is known only toa very small circle in a very obscure quarter. The situation enabled the writer, after makingacareful study ofthe Socialist and the individualist problem—care- ful for him, poor, limited creature!—to pre- sent the questions, as only & novelist can, in a popular form, The reviewer adds, ‘‘It is, perhaps too much toexpect of a popular noy- elist that he should soar any higher.’’ Perhaps! Perhaps! Yet, when one comes to think of it, how much higher cana novel soar than when it touches the great fundamental questions of social or- der which underlie our Whole civilization? And—if one may ask the question—how much of a novelis an Atheneum novel reviewer ex- pected to read before she sets down her val- uable Judgment upon it? And what is her judgment worth when all she can tell of the story is half a dozen lines such as those I have quoted, so accurate, and the result of so much careful reading?

Special Correspondence SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH. New YORK, Nov. 2.—One hundred and two as towns go nowadays. To be perfectly can- did, this was not much of a nation, despite the pleasurable remembrance that it had just emerged from a successful conflict with Great Britain and was feeling chipper and saucy enough to tackle any other effete and insolent power on the tea question, or whatever item of differ- ence mightcomeup. There was noregularly constituted 400 in those days, andthe ances- tors of contemporaneous swelldom were en- gaged in the useful and laudable task of rais- ing garden truck and otherwise cementing the foundation of commercial prosperity. Two or three times a year the newspapers record the death of people who have vivid remem- brances of New York asit appeared in 1790, but nobody believes these old people, who are commonly regarded as unrepentant prevari- cators and preposterous humbugs.§ But if modern New York looks a little con: temptuously on the town of 1790, with its small matter of 83,000 inhabitants, there is fhe patient is not a fnothing to indicatethat the old town was ashamed ofitssize or its importance. The year before Gen. George Washington had pa- raded through the Bowery incident to his in- auguration as President of the United States, an event that has been duly celebrated within the memory of very youngchildren. Atthat time New York was not only the capital of the State, but the seat of general Government as well, and acquired that fondness for and skillin politics which it has maintained to the present day. Tammany was then enter- ing upon its second summer, thecritica! pe riod of babyhood, and was regarded a lusty infant and a great power for good, an expec- tation the realization of which is to-day a matter of political opinion. The sneering question, *‘‘Who reads an American book?’’might have been, as it was, a very pertinent and troublous thing to the citizen of New York 102 yearsago. American literature was not at that time in the flour. ishing condition that marks the present age, and as far as home production was con- cerned the citizen of New York was forced to content himself with a sparse literary diet. Perhaps it was with a view towards the satisfaction of the literary appetite that in 1790 Samuel Ferguson prepared the ‘‘United States Almanac and Ephemeris of the Motions of the Sun and Moon for tbe Second after Bissextile or Leap Year, and the Four- teenth of American Independence until the 4th of July.’’ Mr. Ferguson expiained that the contents of this almanac comprised the lunations, etc., ‘‘with useful tables, chron- ological observations and entertaining re- marks,’’ all printed for and sold by John Reid at No.17 Water street. Mr. Ferguson and his bookseller, Mr. Reid. were not hu- morists in the modern acceptation of the word, and their conception of what js enter. taining in the way of ‘‘remarks’’ must be taken with a measure of allowance. It is usually conceded that in this palm- age of literature, when the rising of the sun and the going down thereof are interesting only from a scientific standpoint and have no perceptible effect on the pleasures and occu- pations of the people, the general run of almanacs belongs to the domain of patent medicine and they are useful only to servant girls who are called uponin the exercise of their daily duties to build kitchen fires, But a hundred years ago it was different. Then the ancestors of the people, who certainly do not read almanacs, whatever else they may read, pored over the calculations set forth by Mr. Ferguson with unvarying delight, and siapped their hands in ecstasy induced by his ‘‘entertaining remarks.’’ Indeed, 790 cannot years ago New York was not much of a town / ne - —— en oe - ee day. Ittraversed the domain of science, philosophy and wit; talked wisely of the past and dipped learnedly into the future. It em- ployed a weather prophet, and while he could not have enjoyed the advantages pos- sessed by Sergt. Dunn, he was just as fear- less and outspoken, and the chances are that he hit the truth with surprising exactness. Who can question this greataxiom for Jan- uary: The weather is very cold, And fire will suit both young and old, And on the lith: Perhaps snow about this time, And on the 2ist, 22d and 23d: I think now comes January thaw. Fromthe ist to the 6th of February the prophet opined that ‘‘perhaps it may snow.’’ On the 16th-18th he jocosely re. marked: ‘‘If it rain now don’t blame me.’’ Andon the 22d headded belligerently: ‘‘If it rain now let it rain.’’ After various showers predicted for March, the prophet ventured the opinion that on the 2th it will be ‘‘very muddy.’’ In April he calculated that it would be ‘‘like for rain’’ on the 6th, and ‘‘showery and pleasant on the 12th. For May 19th-224 he decided that there would be ‘*thunder and very sharp lightning in some places,’’ and for the rest of the month he observed poetically: ‘‘Now gentle showers descend and nature smiles.’’ His summer prognostications were no less interesting and convincing. For July he pro- fessea the belief thatit would range from **hot’’ to **very hot,’’ and about the 20th ‘‘I think likely fora storm.’’ ‘‘Don’t say 1am wrong,’’ he said laterin the month, ‘‘if it should rain.’’ In August there was to be **perhaps thunder’’ on the 24 and ‘‘terrible hot’’ on the 6th, with ‘‘some wantof rain’’ on the 12th. From the 20th to the end of September he announced that there would be **perhaps alight and other strange signs in the heavens.’ OnDec. 3‘‘I don’t say it won’t snow,’’ and, as a great and glorious wind-up for the year, on the 29th ‘‘expect snow.’”’ It is unfortunate that nobody kept tab on Mr. Ferguson’s prophet for the year of our Lord 1790. It would be interesting to see if human science of divination has really ad- vanced, Mr. Ferguson also employed a poet to’ reel offa few verses to please his sentimental readers. How much truth there is in this invitation to the almanac’s subscribers to re- pair to the country and enjoy the rural pleasures: | A scene more harmless, more refined, Befits the virtue of thy mind; Our flowers and sheep in worth excel The dangling beau and flaunting belle; For many beaux are brutesin power, And belles—how few are like a fower The eighteenth century dude is touched up in this scornful phrase: NG chivtring tke 6 chakes secaee **How keeu the air atéacks my back; John, place seme list upon that crack. Go, sandload all the sashes ’round, And see there’s not an air-hole found. Ah! biess me, now I feel a breath; Good lack! ‘tis like the chill of death!’’ There are also lines toa young gentleman counselling ‘‘decency, learning and sense,’’ a short ode to peace, a mournful tale ofa miser and a poetical hintasto the season of love. Asadisssonin domestic infelicity is contained in these six lines: There was 4 mas whose name was semper idem, And by his trade he was mercator guidem; He had a wile who was not tall, nor brevis, But by her action she was counted levis; He to content her gave her aii things fatis She to requite him made him cuckold gratis, The ‘‘entertain'ng remarks’’ did not end with these touching verses. Dr. Franklin was called upon to contribute what he cnew about a ‘*way to make money plenty in every man’s pocket,’’ and he responded with some excellent precepts touching honesty. An es- say on the *‘Sympathy Between the Breeches Pockets and the Animal &pirits,’’ conveys jarge chunks of wisdom and philosophy. ‘'I could tell you,’’ saidthe philosopher, ‘‘how a poet’s finances stood by his muse, Gloomy elegies, biti ull tran ee gently grasped they were labelled ‘‘aneco- 2 dote’’ and ‘‘jest’’ in a scattered type thas . sprawled the whole length of the page. Thig may have given Artemas Ward hisidea for the | famous line of explanation, *“‘N. B—A goak.’ 2 Dean Swift’s ‘Profound Meditation Upon @ - Broomstick’’ is quoted asa specimen of de- - lightful humor, and to offset the mirth oo- © casioned by the Dean’s wit certain ‘‘elegant / sentences’’ so-called, are placed in juxtapo=- sition.

HOW NOMS DE PLUME ARE MADE, Some Interesting Gossip Abcut Authors’ Rea! ani Assumed Names. From the Boston Globe. It might be thought that nomsde plume, or sobriquets—or, as the French call them, noms de guerre—are chosen haphazard fashion, but it Is far otherwise in most cases. As much tboughtis often expended in their construction as ever was devoted to the title ofa book. By far the simplest form, and these constl- tute a goodly number, consists of the initials of the author’s real name, suchas ‘**L, E. L.’’ (Letitia Elizabeth Lundon), ‘‘G. A. §.’’ George Augustus Sala) and ‘‘B.’’ (the late Lord Bramwell); or of some transposition of the real name, such as ‘‘Dalmocand’’ (for George Macdonald and ‘*Draw,’’ which is simply Ward written bacxwards. As another example of this I might men- tion, says awriter in London Vid- Bits, the famous prima donra, Mme. Trebelli, who has ust died, and whose real name was ‘‘Glille- ert,’’ her nom de theater being her sur- name spelt backwards, the initial ‘‘'G’’ being omitted, Most people, however, assume fictitious names. Many authors frame these upon the initials of their own names, thus: Annie Kronte wrote as ‘‘Acton Bell,’’ Chariotte Bronte as ‘‘Currer Bell,’’ and Emily. Broate as ‘‘Eliis Bell.’’ AndImight here mention the interesting but scarcely known fact that Robert Burns was anonde plume, the poet’s real name being Robert Burness, but it has by right of usage become the family name, asin the case of Henry Irving and H. M. Stanley. Names of the opposite sex are often adopt- ed, especially by lady writers, such as Mrs. Henry Wood, who used to write as ‘‘Johnny Ludiow;’’ Mrs. Cross, who immortalized her- self as ‘*‘George Eliiot;’’ Mme. Dudevant who hela no mean swayin the literary and social circles of the last century as ‘George Sand,’’ and Mrs. Stannard, who delighted the world not long since with the:mi itary tales of ‘‘Johh Strange Winter.’’ This is sometimes reversea and Algernon Swinburne has gracefully returned the com- pliment by hoisting a petticoat for his stand- ard whep he signs himself Mrs. Horace Man- ners. haps Swinburne objected to Ihack- eray’s comment upon his Initials. t Is related that Swinburne wrote some verses; in a young lady’s album to which Thackery was asked to contribute, Thackeray. simply wrote ‘‘Two-thirds of the truth’’ under Swinburne’s initials, ‘‘A, .”’ By the way, Sir Arthur Sullivan has dropped his middie name, Seymour, owin to the awkward combination of the initla letters of his full name, Several well-known names owe thoir origin to some special circumstance; for instance, the cry of the leadsman when his line marked two fathoms of water, has suggested to Samuel L. Clemens his world-famed nom de plume of ‘‘Mark Twain;’’ and Mlie. de la Ramee’s mispronunciation of her own name, Loulsa, when a cuilld, has furnished her with the popular sobriquet of ‘‘Oulda.’’ And here might be mentioned that John Rowlands, in signing himseif H, M. Stanley, has taken the name of his adopted father. Many names, however, are entirely due to individual fancy, no particular law or cir- cumstance being concerned in thajr evotu- tion. Such for example are the ‘‘Kdna Lyall’’ of Miss Ada Bayley; the ‘*Artemus Ward’’ of Oharles F. Brown; the ‘‘\ax O’Rell’’ of Paul Blouet; the ‘‘Henry Irving’’ of John H. Brobrib, and the ‘*Lewis Carroll" of Rev.

PEOPLE WHO LIVE LONG. Occupations That Seem to Affect Length of Life. ‘‘What occupation tends most to prolong life?’’ was asked the chief mathematician for one of the great life insurance companies, says the Washington Siar. ‘*That is a difficult question,’’ he replied. ‘*I can only answer it by referring to the oc- cupation of persons whose lives are and have been insured by us. Inasmuchas they hum- ber several hundreds of thousands they will afforda pretty good basis from which to draw conclusions on the subject. According to this evidence it appears that commercial travelers and agentg live longer than men in any other kind of bisiness, notwithstanding the bazards which attend transportation by railand water. Next to them come dentists, teachers and professors, inciuding music teachers. ’’ ‘*and who after them?’’ ‘*‘Next to them in longevity are hatters, clergymen and missionaries, the last may occasionally furnish food for the larder of un- tutored savages. but they are a first rate risk nevertheless. Next come bankersand capi- talists, who seem to live just a trifie longer than butchers and marketmen. Lawyers and jewelers follow, and they are succeeded on the list by merchants, peddlers, milkmen and pawnbrokers. Then come gardeners, laborers, civil engineers and canvassers. Perhaps the treatment which canvassers are apt to receive in the ordinary course of their business shortens their lives.’’ ‘*‘Where do newspaper men come in?’’ ‘‘Oh, they don’t live so long asany of the people I have mentioned. Kven bookkeepers and bank cashiers, as well as artists and architects, are ahead of them. They come innext with printers, physicians and gen- tlemen whoare not engaged in any active employment. Then follow the apothecaries and photographers, and after them in order bakers, clyarmakers and real estate agents, army officers and soidiers, liquor deal- ers, marine and naval officers.

A Hotel Cashier's Plan to Have Both Sides of Paper Money Alike, A cashier in one of the big uptown hotels rinting of the National Bank, silver d certificate bills. He thinks there should be no obverse and reverse sides, but that both sides should he just alike. He ex- plained his idea as follows: ‘Half of the reverse side should be printed on the obverse side and vice versa, ‘*If this style should be adopted Be the gov- ernment'it would benefit the pablicin two ways: First, tellers in banks, cashiers and all men who handle money would find it easier to sort andcount money. A great deal ot time islostin turning bills face up in or- dertocountthem. Asa rule the denomina- tion of a bill is engraved in larger figures on the reverse side, whichis not the counting side, The denomination of a bill, in my opinion, should be engraved on both sides with figures of the same size. ‘The method of having half sides reversed does not mean that the halves should be made across the narrow middle of the biil, but across the billthe longest way. It would be more annoying than the present style if the half ends of the bilis shoulda be reversed. But with the reversal as suggested Ihave calcu- lated that in the eclhty of New York aione nearly twenty days in time would be saved annually in counting Dills. In the course of a decade twenty days’ loss each year woul amount to a great deal, Then the secon consideration is the fact that a bill engraved as 1 have described would be more dificuit to counterfeit, and, if counterfeited, it coula in the talked ub to A Fopular fpiris.

Blanchet had nothing about him of the jovial, bragging and classic old under officer. He did not smoke, he did not drink, he did not swear. He had asweet, low voice, and talked little. He was thin, bald and digni- fied. He wore a large ring on the little finger of his long, genteel hand. His silver eyeglasses, swinging from right to left over the front of his uniform, gave hima touch of clerical @andyism. His face was melancholy, with fits mustache still black, Dut thin. There is nothing to say of his nose; but by way of contrast. his eyes were wandering, timid, undecided, and shin- gng with preoccupation. Upon each cheek, atthe same height, was a round, Dluish- brown scar, around which his beard, care- fully shaven elsewhere. left a few white hairs, A ball had passed through his mouth, breaking out two teeth on each side of it; for, though there were small signs of it, Blanchet had been in special service, in the artillery- He had come out of it chief quartermaster, decorated with the Legion of Honor anda with a military medal, not to mention his medals from the Crimea and Italy, and be wore these honors with some coquetry. His commission! His duty! These two words had ruled his whole life. He was born scrupulous and obedient. When a child he was always first in his class and the last to leave it. The fear of not knowing his lesson weighed upon him; he rose in the night to study it, said it to himself all alongthe road tili the last minute, going back to the DOoK at @ least hesitation. He believed he knew it, he did know it in truth; but at the moment af reciting, the fear of doing badly seized him by the throat—he lost his head, trembled, stammered—and the master, attributing to idleness what was only an excess of zeal, sent him back to his seat in disgrace. The poor little fellow was in continual torture. In the regiment he hadthe samo scruples, further increased by responsibility, the least command assuming a peculiar importance in hiseyes. It was even worse still when he be- came Corporal and then Quartermaster! He Was responsible not only for himself, but for others. Thedrilis in the court of the quar- ter or polygon, the inspection of the stores, the appearance of the men, the care of the horses, were allso many anxieties, even in time of peace; but in war! when an order misunderstood or improperly executed might have such serious consequences, the burden was crushing! When there ware rumors of a ‘surprise, and his captain would say to him inthe evening: **You know, Blamchet, to-morrow, I count upon you, Keepy your eye open!’’ the pgor fellow entered whutterable terror. Keep his eye open! Oh, yes! he would Keep his eyes open; he would not close them all night, In spite of fatigue. The words, ‘‘I count upon you!’’ entered his brain like gimlets. For fear of forgetting the order, be would write it down and read it oyerand over by candle- light in histent. Whenthe commission had been scrupulously fulfilled and his captain had said to him, chet!’’ he began to breathe once more. ‘*That is justright, Blan- | | | } But what battery was like his! It was cited | asa model for the whole regiment. Blanchet was adored by his superiors, their confidence in him having never been decelved. ILis comrades laughed a little among themselves about ‘*Father Commission,’’ as they joking- ly called him; but they honored and loved him, and would have died for him. This was well proved at Gravelotte, where the humbie under officer became a hero. A section ofthe battery—two pieces—had just been placed inacorner ofa wood,in a very exposed position. Soon seen by the enemy, it received the converging and overwhelm- ing fire of two united batteries. The Lieutenant in command fails, 6aying: ‘‘Blanchet, take the command ‘ana stand by till the last man, do you hear? till the last man!’’ and then he dies. Blanchet feels a deep shiver run down his back—not from fear!—he does not think of that—but at becoming chiefof the section, 3 he! obliged to take the inittative, obliged to make decisions, toorder volleys, tochange the positionof the guns! Whata responsi- bility! But the order has been given him— ‘tilithelast man—this part of it, at least, is Gistinct, and he is giad. His two poor cannons fiercely oppose the hurri- cane of balls falling around them. Four gunners ofthe left plece are carried away at ‘ blow; a second after the right plece is ismounted, It .-makes no difference! They will hold the place with what remains. Blanchet aims every shot himself, quietly Electri- fied by his example, the gunners are mar- ‘wels of courage and coolness. Soon the ‘place is no longer tenable; the ground is upheaved and igid waste; almost all the men lie on the ground, (ad or frightfully muthiated. But Blanchet does not dream of retreat. he has his commisSion and he will execute it. An officer arrives at full speed: **Back! Back! You will all be massacred!’’ And Blanchet, unmoved, replies: ‘‘I was 1o0id to stand till the last man—theroe are still four of us—I was waiting!’’ II, Thus, at precisely 10 o’clock, Father Blan. chet entered room No, 3, the museum being: . composed of four roomsin all. He first drew his checked handkerchief from his pocket, folded it once, put it carefully upon $ chair, the only piece of furniture on that gea of waxed floor, and then sat down From noon till 1 o’clock he through the rooms, his hands behind his back, and yawning from time to time. Each turn took ‘240 steps, 120 and 120 coming back. At one ‘*‘The Rape of the Babines,’’ given by the ministry. At the other an immense fresco by Pontchabauhes, ‘helareat master and one of the local glories. From ito 2 he rested; from 2 till 4 he took teynate walks and rests.

Was it not his duty to wait there witbout doing anything? He did nothing and had no re- sponsibility; what more could he ask? At the first stroke of 4the old man took up the handkerchief placed onthechair at his arrival, shook it twi¢e to efface any wrinkles his weight had leftin it, carefuily refolded it, put it in his pocket, descended the stairs and passed before the doorkeeper: ‘‘*Good day, Mme. Guarrigues!’’ ‘*Good day, M. Bianchet!’’ After half an hour’s walk he re-entered his modest lodging, consisting of a tiny kitchen and two chambers, one occupied by himself, the other by Charlot, his nephew, an urchin of 6 years, son ofa brother whom he had dearly loved and whom he had lost. The mother had married again, abandoning the child. Blanchet took him under his pro- tection, put him into school, and in many ways denied himself for the poor little fellow. This was another duty, and he fulfilled it carefuliy. Well, he could scarcely make ends meet, and Blanchet, already attendant at the mu- seum during the day, had also been obliged to take a place for the evening from the man- ager of the Grand Theater, The theater of X. was open threes times a week—Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. There‘also his commission was easy, and he had no responsibility. That was what he desired above everything. He had suffered too much fn the past. He took the tickets and gave checks, nothing: more. At the theater he wore no uniform; but, dressed in black, with a white cravat, anda wide red ribbon in his button-hole, Overawed the gaminsin the pit, or, incase of disputes about seats orof discussions between spec- tators and box-openers, represented the company with dignity, while saying nevera word, Ill. Blanchet had led this happy, monotonous existence for fifteen years without incident, when one evening, after the entertainment, the director, M. Sylviani, an old Itallan tenor, who had left the stage on account of growing fiesh, calied him into his private room, | Blanchet was startied by this unusual sum mons and obeyed ittrembling. Had he com- mitted some fault, been guilty of some neglli- gence in his service? \ “*Father Blanchet,’’ sald M. Sylviana, with a strong accent, ‘‘you are an honest man, an old soldfer’’—Blanchet straightened his tall form—‘‘can I count upon your devotionina difficult situation requiring extreme quick- ness and coolness?’’ **sir,’’ said Bianchet, reassured on the one hand, but anxious on the other. ‘*You Know that, in accordance with the new police reguiations,’’ said the director, with ill-concealed contempt, ‘‘I have been obliged to make numerous changes in the theater, Among other improvements I have increased the exits, for fear of disaster, the most important beingthatinthe fourth gal- lery. It must have a sure man; his duty will be simple.’’ At this word ‘‘duty’’ head, scenting danger. ‘*The door being closed ordinarily, it Will simply be necessary to open it with this key at the first alarm,’’ and saying this, M. Syl- Viant picked up a Key from his desk. ‘tl can coubt on you, can I not?’’ Father Blanchet felt the well-known shiver run down his back. A new responsibility ! And sucha responsibility! The lives of a large number of people in his hands! Traly, it would be hard to refuse. The confidence flattered his military honor, Besides, during the five years of lis directorship M. Sylvaena had been very kind to him, never missing an opportunity tosay a word in passing, even bowing first, with the theatrical gesture of an old tenor who had sung ‘‘La Dame Bianche,’’ and who Knows what itis tobe an old soidier. It made no difference; in spite of all that he would refuse. No! no more responsi- bility! He had had enough! He was about to reply when M,. Sylviant, negligently turningthe key on the end of finger, added: ‘*Naturally, this- service being more delicate, lincrease your pay by 30 francs amonth.’’ Thirty francs a month! Whata resource for himself and his dear little Charlot! Just lately the child had been ill. There had been bills from the doctor ana druggist, and he was behind in school dues. Thirty francs a month! That would soon put him afloat, and enable him to do many pleasant things for the dear little boy, for it was of him alone that the good man thought. in fact, what was there frightful about tnat commission? Do accidents happe? Toothers, perhaps, butto one’s self—never! Besides, what could be more simple?—a door to open andthat wasall. Come, neither for Char- lot, nor for himself, had hethe rightto re- fuse such a prize—it would be weakness; still more, cowardice. At this thought Blanchet hesitated no longer. ‘‘Very well, sir, and I thank you for all your Kindkness.’’ He extended his hand and took the key. Strange! It seemed icy. hlanchet lifted his IV. The next day Blanchet was installed in his place in the fourth gallery. Duringthe play he was to remain seated, clear at the end, opposite the stage. By leaning forward a good deal he could seo a little corner ofthe scenery, entire rcom, not a movement could escape him, Helooked down upon the orchestra, the pit, the balcony chairs and the stalls. Upinthe fourth gallery the audienco was crowded together, those in ‘the front row leaning on their elbows in an easy attitude, the rest sitting very straight and trying to see between and over the heads of those infront. They were like long chaplets of human liives, each bead of which had its own movement. fhey re- flected the emotions excited by the piece; they all stirred, laughed and wept at the sametime. lMiere and there were impassive, heavy faces, which nothing seemed to affect; and which gave an idea of man’s lowest animal nature. Divided into three groups, one in the center and one in each Wing, the hired ciappers applauded auto- matically at a signfrom thelr tleader; then, ceasing suddenly, resumed their . careless positions, crossing thelrarms over the worn velvet railing infront of them. In this high partof thetheater the chandellers close by threw a blinding glare, fully lighting up these human faces, while ’way [down, down, yonder the orchestra seemed half- plunged in darkness, and a crowd of heads, shoul- ders and arms moved confusedly, The door with the opening of which Blanchet was charged communicated with a Staircase leading directly to the street. It wasa large, doubie, folding door, painted white and trimmed in gold. Above it, on @ rough glass transparency, Nghted by gas jets, blazedin large and plain letters the following warning: : In this position he. overlooked the | ‘to think of such a thing! ion so Simp te hesitated to ta Neverthe- that a child t execute it. less, his mind was preoccupied while at the museum the next day. He felt pleased with the responsibility. Assuredly, if some acci- dent shoula happen, he would not wait a. second to perform his duty—two strides— cric, crac! and the door would be open, and the audience would rush out and down stairs. He, like acaptainofhis ship, would wait tillthe iast, watching that no one should be left behind. But is one ever sure that, at the last moment, nothing will in- terfere with given orders? In the midst of oneof those sudden, unreasonable panics often occurringin theaters, who knows if there woulda be time to reach the door, to take the key, putit in the lock—and then, and then, if by some strange chance, un- likely but possible, he should not have the key! And mechanically, wholly absorbed in th is thought while walking back and forth through the vast rooms of the deserted museum, he kept slipping his hand into the pocket of his red-banded trousers with a feverish start. Oh, it was there—he had it! A feeling of relief spread through his whole being, but it did not last jong, Twenty, thirty times, he unconsciously went through the same performance. Ab! he would be careful of that key! Think of it! What a trust! He must not let it escape him! At this idea Blanchet trembled from head to foot, cold beads stood upon his forehead; he looked about him, he was alone in room No, 1, facing a Leda who fixed her stupid eyes upon him. Come! It was idiotic to have such foolish fears. The silent room echoed with his forced laugh, and, as the clock struck four, he went whistling to his chairto pick up his folded handkerchief as usual. The handkerchief Was not there; for’ the first time in fifteen years he had forgotten to put it there. When he reached home Blanchet was feverish. Hehad certainly done wrong to accept this position; he had presumed upon his strength and coolness. Yes; but thirty francs a month!—but Charlot! Before retiring he went to kiss the little fel- low, who was sound asleep, his fair hair thrown over his pillow. In moving he had uncovered himself a little, and the old sol- dier bent his tall form over him and rear- ranged the clothes. Ah, he would be still better off, the dear little boy! He would be still warmer if he should put over hima certain blue quilt he had seen displayed by a novelty merchant. With 30 franes more a month he could easily buy the‘ pretty quilt. Come! It was foolish, it Avas cowardly, always to worry so. And at his age! He would get accustomed to this duty; in a week he would think no more about It. Gently, with a mother’s care, Blanchet lightly kissed the brow of the child,then went to bed inthe nextrvom, taking careto put the key on the table, near his matches and close tothe candle. But he was along time in going to sleep. He had scarcely closed his eyes when he seemed tosee very clearly in front of him this inscription, in black letters on a White bacXcround: THIS DOOR OPEN ONLY IN CASE OF ACCIDENT. ‘ Flaming and dancing itenterea his brain; and the next morning when he awoke, dur- ing his tollet, his breakfast and his custom- ary walk, at the museum, everywhere and all the time, it continued to worry him. The elght words composing the inscription jostled each otherin his head and trowded upon his lips. He analyzed them, turned them about and weighed them one by one: ‘‘Door—open —only—in—case—of—accident.’’ Itseems that a theater always ends by burning, sooneror later, and his might be the next oneto Durn. He must, then, be on the watch, he must foresee this accident ab- solutely. Wis orders irritated him, since they could only be carried out under certain de- termined conditions—if sucha thing should come to pass—if such an event should occur— if—if—if—. Ah! Whattorture for a scrupu- lous man like him! Alwaysto walt, always to Keepasking himself if, the event occur- ring, he would In no way failin his duty.. It was like holding a loaded gun to one’s shoul- der, with finger on the trigger, for days, months and years, without Knowlng if it could be fired when the right time should come. The way would be to fire immediately, if only to see. ‘“*Where are the frescoes by baunes, if you please?’’ A fair, foreign-looking man stood before Blanchet. Ah! Yes! The museum—a visttor—he was forgetting everything now, With a quick gesture he gave the desired information, then began again his feverish walk. From that time, little by little, a slow and curious working of morbid consctentiousness filled blanchet’s mind with a persistent long. ing to know if, inthe moment of danger, he would be able tocarry out his ordors prop- erly. ‘There were but two motions to make— to goto the door and openit. Yes; but would he be sufficieatly cooland would he have the necessary time? Would nothing happen to prevent or paralyze him? Oh! Only to be sure of himseif! ‘to know that at the desired moment he would do his duty! A week—two weeks—passed by. His mind Was greatly troubled; he became sad and mute;he sat at his post in the theater pale, pre-occupied and haunted by this one thought. le looked blackly at the spectators in the fourth gallery; he ended by being an- gry atall those people who came there for their own pleasure and for his torture; he regarded them as enemies; he positively hatedthem,. What great harm would it do, afterall, if they were in some danger? Why did they come there and expose themselves wantonly for pleasure? Gradually he accustomed himself to ths possibility ofan accident, which he thought A naturalthing, even desirable. He would be certain then, and would see how it would pass off! He would be free from this ener- vating indecision. But an accident: only. comes when it wills. Ah! If he could only help ita little. How? But he was going mad Why not? An ac- cident which would not be one—rathera Pontcha- trial accident—a kind of general re- hearsal, which would prove him ready, quite ready, if the necessity came. But how could he manage it? Nothing easier, if ho is willing to do it. Asimple cryofr ‘*Fire!’’ from himself, Blanchet, during the periormance—a little confusion, a little, just a little beginning of a panic—then tmmeai- ately to rise from his chair—two strides—the key in the lock—that key which he has with him always, always—the door opens—soon the audience calms down, reassured—each one resumes his seatandallisover. Atleast he would know if beis physically able to ex- ecute the order. Oh, no, no! He will not resist this mad desire which torments him, tie Coes not resist it, and one evening— This evening he arrivesearliier than usual, The room is still wrapped in half-obscurity, but he,knows his way well, Itis decided; it shalilbe to-night! He seats himself at his post. No one ts there—he is quite alone, Listen! There fs a roar in the passage, it rises louder and louder, Itis they, the people for the fourth gallery. The chandeliers and footlights shine out, and the transparency— ah! the transparency will serve a purpose to- night. and seat themselves on their benches, There they are, that hated line of heads; they are calm now. Patience! They will move and struggle comically soon enough. Ah! There is the orchestra leader in his desk! They have played the overture, the curtain rises, the actors go and come upon the stage. Wait a moment, till they reach the end of the first act. How long it takes! At last the time has come. He lifts his tall figure to its full height and abruptly shouts; ‘*Fire!’’ Everything happens just as he foresaw, There is hesitation, thereis panic, and thé crowd struvgie. Now it is his turn!

A Writer Who Mrs. Kate Chopin is one of the very best writers of short stories m_ this country. When she takesthe trouble to write a novel, which she probably witli doaftera while, to the sorrow of those who lovethe short story and know how few really excellent makers ofthem we have, the West, and St. Louis particularly, where she lives, will hasten to render her tardy honor and will wonder why its prophet was so long without recognition. Making her way throughthe magazines, large and small, Mrs, Chopin has reached the point now where she can choose her vehicles, Muchof her best work has been read in ‘‘Short Stories’’ and ‘‘Two Tales.’’ A sketch by her appears in the current number of each of these pub- lications. One, the best, is ‘‘At the ’Cadian Ball,’’ a little love story of plantation life in Loulsiana, and the other Is ‘‘The Maid of San Fillpe,’’ a tale of the earliest days of St. Loujs. The first story is an exquisite bit of work, the characters done in the warm color demanded by realism, the dialect nicely worked out and the plot so gently developed that the reader is led tothe end unsuspect- ingly. Mrs. Chopin evidently believes that her strength lMesin writing of Creolelife. Her cleveeest stories have been of this kind, Like every story-teller born in the purple, she knows, too, that upon local color depends most of the success of the work, and she is most happy in touching thatin. The de- scription of the ’Cadian Dall isa good il- lustration of the sureness of her hand in this respect. ; ' Alcee reached the ball very late, of course—too late for the chicken gombo which had been served at midnight, : The big, low-celled room—they called it a hall— was packed with men and women dapcing to the mu- sic of three fiddles. There were broad galleries all around it. There was @ room at one side where sober-faced men were playing cards. Another in which babies were sleeping, called le pare aux petits. Anyone who is white may gotoa ’Cadian ball, but he must pay for his lemonade, his coffee and chicken gombo. And he must behave himself like a ’Cadian. Grosbeeuf was giving this Dail. He had been giving them since he was a young inan, and he was a iniddie-aged ons, mow. In that time he could recall but one disturbance and that was caused by American railroaders, who were notin touch with their surroundings and had no business there. ‘*Ces maudits genus du raiderode,’’ Gros- bavuf called them. Alcee Labilllere’s presence at the ball caused a flutter even among the men, who could not admire his grit aftersuch a misfortine befalling him. ‘To be sure, they knew the Laballieres were rich—that there were resources Fast. and more again in the city. But they felt it took a brave homme to stand a blow hke + that philosophically. One old gentieman, who wasinthe habit of reading a Paris newspaper and knew things, chuckied gleefully to everybody that Alceo’s conduct was altogether cnic, maischic. That he had more panache than Boulan- . Well, perhaps he had. But what he did not show outwardly was that he was in a mood for ugly things to-night. Poor to- Dinot alone felt it, vaguely. He discerned a gieam of itin Alcee’s handsome eyes asthe young plauter stood in the doorway looking with rather feverish gance upon the assembly, witile he laughed and talked with a ’Cadian farmer who was beside nim. Bobinet himself was dull-looking and ciumsy, Most ofthe men were. But the young women were very beautiful. The eyes that glanced into Alcee’s as they passed him were big, dark, soitas those of the young heifers standing out in the cooi prairie rass. But the belle was Calixta. Her white dress was not nearly so harndsomeor well-made as Fronie’s (she and Fronie had quite forgotten the Dattle va the church steps and were friends again) nor were her slippers so stylish as those of Uzeina, and she fanned herseif with a handkerchief, since she had broken her red fan at the lest ball, and her auntsand sncies were not willing to give her another. Bat ali the men agreed she was at her bestto-nizht. Such ani- mation! such abandon! such flashes of wit! ‘*‘Ne, Bobinot! Mais w’ats the mattaY W’'at you standin’ plante Ja like ole Ma’ame Tina’s cow in the bog. you?’’ That was good. That wasan excelient thrust at Bobinot, who had forgotten the figure of the dance, with his mind bent on other things, and it started a clamor of laughter at his exponse, He joined good- naturediy, it was beiter/to receive even such notice as that from Calixta than none at all, But Madame Suzonne, sitting ,in a corner, whispered to her neighbor that if Uzeina were to con- duct herself in sach manner, she should immediate- ly be taken out tothe mule cart and driven home. he women did not always approve of Calixta. Now and then were shortiuils in the dance, pte couples flocked out upon the galleries for a brie respitd aud abreath of air. The moon had ne down paie inthe west. and in the east was yet ne promise ofday. After such an interval, when the ‘Bros., Boston. magazines justintimeto givethelr readers @ bew sensation, . * ° ‘*armais and! Others’’ is a collection of stories by Mrs. Lyndon W, Bates. The style is good, ifsomewhat commonplace, and the tales are not without merit, but the idea of the principal one, ‘‘Winged Victory,’’ has been worked out much better by Edwin Lester Arnold, the son of Sir Edwin, in ‘*‘Phra, the Phoenician.’’ Still, inthe hands of any ood story-teller, the plan, rather new in literature, of following a man through a number of succeeding incarnations anu mak- ing for him a romantic and adventurous life in each, can be carried out so as to amuse the reader and even instruct him, if the au- thor cares to take that view. Mrs. Bates has tried only to Interest, and ‘has done so, ‘*Taken In at Oare’s’’ is a Western story, and ‘*‘A Venetian Payment’’ is @ society sketch with a novel plot. F.J. Schulte & Co., Chicago, publish the book, - Although Lee Meriwether, in his preface to **Afloat aud Ashore onthe Mediterranean,’’ is at much pains to disclaim all pretension to being a trained observer of the lancs which he has visited, the reader of the book will disagree with him. In this, as in his ‘*Tramp Trip,’’ Mr. Meriwether shows that he is a traveler whose eye is microscopic and brings witn it toall scenes the power to see more than most of those who boast of their power of observation. On this trip around and about the Mediter- ranean countries, made by steam, sailing boats and bicycles, the author had two bright American companions anda camera, The combination has enabled him to add to the facts, with whichthe book is crammed, some most interesting incidents and pictur- esque illustrations. Now and then thereisa little argument for free trade, sug- gested by some episode of the trip, but the book is much freer of social discussion than the ‘*‘Tramp Trip,’’ and is much improved by the lack of such deDate, for why should a djary of a Journey, written, as avowedly this is, to interest and amuse, be loaded down with economical problems? The book is decidedly one to be enjoyed, and commended to the owner ofa library who wants to fill it with the literature of the times that is at once pleasant and profitable, Charels Scribner’s Sons are the puDlishers.

His Scholarly Attainmentsa Never Make Him Boastful, From the Boston Herald. As an illustration of his character, one who was well acquainted with the great savant, records that having once been asked whether he knew Hebrew, he repiled, ‘*‘Mon Dieu! IL have been teaching it at the College de France for twenty-five years, but I cannot flatter myself that I knowit.’’ He had also a poor opinion of his commentaries on the Pheenician inscriptions. @lenan was anxious thatallthe Semitic in- scriptions should be reproduced through the medium of the heliograph, and one day, when asked why he had adopted soexpensivea method, he answered: ‘‘it 's because our ex- planations will, perhaps, afford some amuse- ment to our children when science has pro- gressed through fresh discoveries, But these works 7 always be good, and will repre- sent definite truth’’’ . When some opinion was expressed which he considered erroneous, he was in the habit of beginning his refutation with the words, ‘*Vous avez iniile fols raison.’’ This put his opponent in good humor, and then quietly and courteously be proceededto demolish the argument. Another friend relates his reminiscences of evenings spept at Victor Hugo’s house in company with Renan. The great -poet fre- quently expressed his belief in God and in the immortality of the soul. Renan invariably replied, ‘*Ah, comme vous avez raison?’’ and then, little by jittle, hisown ideas came out, Cory became prose and soon probabilit y dwindled tnto a mere dream, HEB FINGER NAILS.

We had nad startling adventures among them, but I ang going to tell you about our boy Tomand what a close shave he had of It. Tom was born in Australia of Englis} parents and 18 years old. As he hadrud away from home, from school and even fron jail where he had been locked up, his father got Capt. Thomas to take himasan apprene tice. We were all agreeably disappointed ig the lad. Heliked the idea of going to seag and we found him very respectful and oblige ing. As the days went by and we had fault to find we concluded that the fond ashore had faliled to understand the boy didn’t know how to manage him. We sighted New Caledonia one afternoon about 3 o’clock, and half an hour later thé wind dled out “and we lay becalmed. The weather had a suspicious look, however, and pretty soon the barometer was falling. Ore ders were given to make everything snug, and just after we had put the brig In her he trim to meet what was brewing, the boy Toms called our attention to two of the biggest sharks any of us had ever seen. They lay at our port quarter, side by sid and only a few feetaway. It was agreed all hands that they were at least twenty feeg long and two more wicked-looking chaps y never saw in salt water. They never move a fin, but lay there like two logs on the heave ing sea. You’d have thought them dead, only now and then they turned up aneye sd full of danger that it made one draw back. it was two hours before we got the terrifid blast which held the brig down until we thoughtshe could never lft, and the sharks had not moved a singie foot, We forgot them of course inthe danger that menaced. The brig did lift and pay off after awhile, and we went booming out to the east like a wild loe comotive, It was our plan to get her abou® headtothe gale before the sea got up, and this we accomplished just as dark 3 came down. It was not without accident, however, As she came slowly about she shipped a sea which flooded the decs, and when it surged off over her quarter Tom wont withit. With him wenta hencoop with six fowls tn it, to* gether with some spars and caskgwhich had not been securely lasked. Everybody cried out when it was known that the boy was gone, Dut nothing could be done. It wasthen pitch dark, but had i§ been noonday no boat could have got away inthbatsea. All we could do was to ‘*Poor Tom!’’ to each other, and to hope was soon over with him, ~ : The gale broke away about 2 o’clock nex We took our agricultural imple-, morning and by daylight the wind had falleg _ to a fine sailing breeze and drawn around to the south. This gave usa@ fair wind for the island, though creating a disagreeable, cross sea. As we made sail on the Dig the Captain said: ie ‘‘I want a man with sharp eyes aloft. The boy may have got hold of something as he went over, and if s@ he is afloat yet. He ee wouldn’t drive as fastas the brig, low in the water, and there is just one ia a thousand of our sighting him.’’ hope: ee p>, Rey ee a ik: Tnree hours after there was acry from the man at the mast-head, and a minute later we knew that he had sighted Tom.

NEw YORK, Nov. 5.—Inaroom of the New York Art Museum there is a collection of fans which would rousethe imagination of the least poetic person. Marie Antoinette and Mme. Pompadour once smiled over these frail and beautiful toys. What coquetries have these spangles winked at! What blushes they have hidden! And oh, what a mint Of money they cost! 4 Vinaigrette in the Handle. There are fifty, all of them folding. A small one about eight inches from center to edge is of horn, richly painted and gilded. Each division ends in a Vandyck point, These are held together by a delicate ribbon. One curious specimen hasa vinaigrette in the handle, and is decorated with three landscapes in water-color, surrounded by spangles. Another is entirely composed of silver filigree, supposed to be of Chinese make. A CARRIAGE PAINTER’S INVENTION. Carriage painting seems far removed from fan decorating, but a certain carriage paint- er named Martin resorted tothe more dell- Gate work, and inventéd a transparent var- mish of such excellencethat threeof these fans are specified in honor of him as ‘‘Vernis Martin.’’ Marie Antoinette Fan. On one of these is a scene called **The Triumph of Ariadne,’’ in which are seven- teen figures. It is not twelve inches from the edge tothe center. Another, no larger, of Japanese origin, contains fifty figures. Some of these minute faces do not possess the sweetest beauty of expression, _ One fortunate success dates from the time otpLouls XV. It is of kid leaf with carved mother of pearl sticks. The scene Is the visit of the Queen of Sheba#to the Court of Solo- mon.

Theother two are painted with appropriate scenes, in which Cupid’s arrows and hymeneal torches are conspicuous. The thirdis the most elaborate. It containsa complicated scene where Cupids have taken possession of a geographical globe, maps, diagrams and symbols of art and literature; a figurative way of saying: **’Tis love that makes the world go round.’’ There are scenes of courtship and two portraits, evidently of the bride and bridegroom. The remaining space is covered with marvelous borders in Chinese designs. All this richness is on pa- per. The sticks are mother of pearl inlaid with gold, TO COOL GRIEF. One is called a *‘mourning fan.** It is white kid leaf painted in Indla ink and mounted on mother-of-pearl incrusted with silver whichis now slightly tarnished. Its pictures are not doleful, quite the contrary; they are soothing landscapes, one of which contains an urn, theonly hint of mortality.

In their gambols throttgh the city’s crowded thoroughfares, these little ragged, thoughtless gypsies little recked what kindly eyes were turned toward them, and what schemes for their betterment were agitating the brains of benevolent ladies. They did not in their wildest dreams imagine that perhaps the very ladies against whom -they jolted on crowdea Broadway were the promoters of a movement to estab- lish a country home for them. And yet such an incident might not have been impossible, for a large circle of charitable ladies have recently given much thought to a project to purchase a large, well-equipped farm and to rear and educategthere, teaching them theirletters and morals, and useful occu- pations, the hordes of homeless lads who roam the streets of St. Louis, inthe spirit of idleness and under the shadow of crime. Many of the large metropolitan cities of the country, notably New York, Chicago and Boston, own and support farms fn the suburbs, where the little Arabsof the busy streets are taken from the abudes of poverty and sin, and taught the elements of cleanli- ness, right living, good manners and the pri- mary branches of acommon school educa- tion. They are not maintained in idleness in these rural homes, for each lad has his al- loted daily tasks to perform. A troop of lit- tle fellows may have as much as they can ac- complish to do all the ‘‘chores,’’ a duty which will keep a sturdy man constantly oc- cupied on a large farm. Anothef lot of them may be assigned to”: till ‘the field and to harvest the crops; and others again may be employed at the thousand additionaltasks of afarm. The boys learn of mother nature the lesson which she teaches wood and field and be- come reputable self-supporting citizens. These _instruction farmsare said to have been very beneficial elsewhere and the ladies who are anxious to have a similar institution established by the charitably in- clined people of St. Louls feel that a farm for homeiess boys, maintained near St. Louis, would save to the world many honest, pros- perous citizens, and they appeal to thé women of the city who have boys of their own, to take up the cause of the parentless gamins of the St. Louis streets and to secure for thema home inthe country away from the city’s madding crowd. The ladies who have begun the good work, and whode not desire as yet to have theirnames made public, point to the Carnival of Authors, held years ago for the benefit of the Woman’s Christian Home, asa monument to the capabilities of the charitably inclined ladies of St. Louls. The project is worthy of every consideration. Woman’s Training School. A musicaland literary entertainment will be givenat the Woman’s Training School, No. 8 North Fourth street, next Thursday evening, the lWihinst. A talk on physical culture by Mrs. Mary Hogan Ludlum will add interest to the programme. The entertain- ment will take placein the dining halland will be free of admission to all industrial women, who can secure tickets of admission on application to Miss Smith, the School Librarian. The classes for the week at the Woman’s Training School are as follows: Cooking, on Monday from 9 a. m. to noon; ladies’ luncheon class, Monday from 4p. m. to 5:20 p. m.; classes for girlsin general training, Thursday from 9a. m.tonoon; cooks’ class, Thursday from 2:30 to5 p. m. A young ladies’ luncheon class will take their first lesson Tuesday morning, Noy. 1b. Home of the Friendless. The annual meeting of the directors and trustees of the Home of the Friendless, one jof the most touching charities of the city, was held last Thursday evening at St, Mark’s English Lutheran Church, and the reports of the officers were favorable in comparison with previous years. The report of Mrs. J. G. Chapman, the pectotansty states that sixty-five aged, helpless women had been provided for at the home during the past year. Seven ofthe oldand infirm women in the home have died since the last meeting, one of them having been 87 years old, andan- other an inmate ofthe home for twenty-one years. Mrs. Chapman inber report said that each vacancy made by death was promptly filled by some worthy applicant for adiis- sion, and that the building was insufficient to accommodate the many who sought to be admitted. Mrs. Copp, the Treasurer, in her report saidthat the receipts from endow- ment funds during the year were $5,124; an- nual subscriptions, $2,166; other sources, $2,355, which, added to last year’s balance of $2,538, made the total avall- able assets $12,188. The disbursements for the year were $9,853, leaving a balance in the treasury of $2,334. ‘The election of officers re- sulted as follows: First Directress, Mrs. “ Charles Holmes; Second Directress, Mrs. A. _F,. Shapleigh; Secretary, ' man; Treasurer, Mrs. Mrs. J. G. Chap- samuel Copp: Board of Trustees, Mesdames John C. Vogel, E. E. Webster,John I’. Davis, Wm, Stobie, EK. C, Copelin, 8. C. Cumniins, Anthony Blaisdell, J. CC. Richardson, Jos. H, Allen, Charles thlermann, Joseph H. Holliday, E. Catlin, ‘ Halsey c. Ives, . Dexter Tiffany, H. West, J. ®E. Lawton, Harry Elliott, and Miss J. B. Clover. Anumber of promi- nent ministers were present, among them Dr. Snyder, Dr. J: H. George, Dr. George E. Martin and Dr. M. Rhodes. The Home of the Friendless is an institu- tion established years ayo asdrefuge for aged and beipless women, and its career has been full of deeds of charity. Many ladies of former wealth and social eminence who have been doomed to drink the bitter cup of in- gratitude and poverty have passed their de- clining days in the Home of the Friendless. The institution is situated at No. 4431 South Broadway and is a plain stone edifice, furn- ished with all the comforts which the old la- dies could desire. remann, Db Davis, Home of the Immaculate Conception. The Home of the Immaculate Vonception for Girls is an institution devoted to charities ofjvarious kinds, the most important of which is a home for respectable girls who are seeking employment. The Sisters interest themselves in favor of those girls who apply to them and endeavor to procare situations forthem, according to their capabilities. During their stay atthe institution they are required to pay accorda- ing to their means;it they are unabdle to pay at all they are received on charity. Anassociation ofthe most estimable and influential ladies of thecity aid the sisters in their work of charity and much of the prog. ress,of this work is due to their untiring co-operation and zealous labor, The home is now well established, many | _ repairs and improvements having been re- | cently made, which add much to the comfort of theinmates. During the last year this home has furnished a refuge for over four hundred women, some ofthem seekers for work, others alone and unprotected on the streets of this large city, exposed toall the temptations liable to assall gignorance, inno- cenceand want. * A number of girls are lost every year from coming toalargecity without any place to seek shelter upon their arrival, and those in charge of this institution have informed the guards and watchmen at the Union Depot to send all homeless women to the Home, where ‘hey will be cared for and protected until homes can be found for them. A year ago in October a new work was in- augurated called the factory tgiris’ dinner department. Up to date more’ than two thousand two hundred dinners have been sérved, the quality of food being excellent, and the Sisters saving neither labor nor pains in its preparation. This department was added ibecause the girls employed in the factories were com- pelied to eat a cold and oftem insufficient meal atthe hour of noon, muchto the detri- ment oftheir heaith. This home was opened in 1885, and the origin of the Queen’s Daugh- ters’ industrial schools is directly due to the Saturday sewing schools started in October, 1885, by the following ladies, mem- bers ofthe Society of the Immaculate Uon- ception: Mrs. J. LL.D. Morrison, Mrs. Dr. Schuyler, Mrs. Farrish, Mrs. C. P. Wise, Mrs. Alex. Mastbrook, Mrs. A. J. Handlan, Mrs. A. W. Kirchner, the Misses Chassaing, Doan, Waterman, Mullaly,Slevin and Hoxey. The Little Sisters’ Home. There isa home forthe aged in St. Louls which has no connection with the Home of the Friendless, which is for ladies alone, or Memorial Home, whichis for both old ladies and aged gentlemen. The home referred to iskept by the Little Sistersof the voor, at Twenty-second and Hebert streets inthis city, and very little is heard about its gooa work, because it is against the rule of the Sisters to incur prominence by publishing their good works in any way. The Little Sisters of the Poor, came to St. Louis at the request of His Grace the Most Rev. Archbishop Kenrick, many years ago. The community consisted then of seven sisters, who immediately after their arrival proceeded to the residence which had been‘ rented for them at Seven- teenth and Morgan streets, consisting of two adjoining houses, capable of sheltering about elghty persons. They had nofurniture, their home was perfectly bare, not even straw for beds. Their sole possessions consisted of two statues, one of the Blessed Virgin, and the other of St. Joseph. But they were welcomed by most generous benefactors among the St. Louis people. Bedding,chatrs, tables, kitchen utensils and provisions were soon senttothem. Many kind hearted men offered their services and it seemed as if every one wished to help them. Thefirst inmates received by the Sisters intheir new home were two old women, men were received afterwards, and very soon the Httle Home was filled. When the Little Sisters went out to ask alms for their poor old people they were received kindly everywhere. They occupied the Morgan Street Home fortwo years, and then began search for a more permanent Home. After due consideration they concluded to purchase the La Baum prop- erty, on ‘Twenty-second and Herbert streets for $30,000, a vast suin for those whose revenues were so small. But Providence came to their aid. The LaBaum dwelling was too small to shelter theireighty inmates, and an addition hadto be added at once, con- sisting of afew dormitories and a sitting- room for the old men. This addition was not finished before the Sisters found it necessary te commence a wing, and it continued until five additions were mace. There are now and have been for some time 270 inmates in comfortable quarters. The more the Little Sistersare known and their good work understood by the people of this city, the more it prospers. It is entirely through the liberality of the people that the Sisters are enabled to provide for their old people. Since tha opening of the home in 1869 there have been received and cared for more than fifteen hundred old people of both sexes, of varied nationalities, languages, creeds and occupations. ‘The work of the Little Sisters is carried on here exactly as it is donein Eu- rope. Every day two sisters go forth with their wagon andcallat various hotels, res- taurants, butcher’ shops, bakers, brewerles and liqu ing visited. Other sisters», to ask for alms, from rk&h and poor. In the Home 270 old people lead a calm and peaceable life, surrounded by the care of their sisters, fifteen in number, witha Moth- er Superior. The Sisters, with the aid of their old people, do all of the housework, as their rule does not allow them to have serv- ants. This is the third home for the aged in st. Louis. >» out on foot Wcman’s Christian Home. The Woman’s Christian Home was estab- lished in 1869, and the work has gone on steadily since. In1882 a separate and dis- tinct board called the Woman’s Ohristian Home Board was formed. The object of this institution is to provide a Christian home for those girls and women who are trying to support themselves in an honorable way, giving them the pleasures, wg oe and safeguards ofa home ata price Which they could not get zood board and lodging, let alone the priv- lleges of a home for, at other places. Tpey only accommodate permanently in- dus@rial women and pupils engaged in some branch of study, except of course in unusual cases, Children and eiderly women. Young girls who are in moderate circum- stances, or those who come to the city alone from other towns tostudy art, music orany other branches, often find a home at this institution fora reasonable sum, and they are guarded by the rules of the home from all dangersin the outside world, as muchasany influence can guard from such dangers. The home, which is on Washington avenue, between Eight- eenth and Nineteenth streets, is quite a large brick building, and has two parlors, an _ office and library-room, with two planos, an organ, & good library of books and magazines, and other arrange- ments for a comfortable home ,life ana even- ing recreation. A Chautauqua literary and scientific circle was formed amongthe boarders, and holds pleasant meetings once a week, One evening in every week the ministers of the different Protestant denominations take turns in leading the usual family devotional exercises. The Home accommodates eighty-five boarders and is generally full. During the first few weeks a large number of ladtes who visited the city, were entertained, neces- sitating the use of many cots. During the past year 512 persons were ac. commodated fora longer or shorter period. In ten years, 3,700 girl have found a home in wey Home or been entertained fora short me, There is asuperintendant, a housekeeper, and engineer and porter, also eleven servants for the laundry, house and kitchen work, employed about this establishment. The crying need is for more room, as. sometimes as many asthirty applicants have been re- fused in one week for lack of room. The occupations of the boarders vary, as, to take those of one year will show: Twenty- one dressmakers, thirteen seamstresses, twenty saleswomen, thirteen milliners, two machine agents, two canvassers, two type- writers, four book-keepers, five nurses, twenty-one art students, ten kindergarten students, fourteen teachers, twenty music teachers; elght students, three lithogrgph- ers, four short-hand reporters, three fore- women, two for housework. The home is supported by receipts from board, suplemented by the charity tuna. Annual dues of members, donations, re- ceipts from excursions and entertainments, and the interest on their endowment fund, a separate fund called the charity fund, be- cause it has enabled the home to do much charity work. Prices of board range from $2 to $5 a week, thus enabling those who earn small wage to have a comfortable and respectable ome, A careful estimate of expenses discovered { hee iy Si oD J. ’ ae 7 74 4 ; Sorte ™ f = = \ x Hi : rZ ist / } \ ‘ \\\\ Wily: ’ \\ \\ \ My NM \\4 | i | l I i! 4 (ETE Ce te anit Ia go yy a oe Ina pasaum genet cd jeri ii/ = tt a ig : | New Designs in Ornamental Chairs. a \ nara SNM AN ay CTF 1g A . tee * ee f re gs , ' ” i , wn , Za | the fact that each boarder cost the Home $3.50 a week, which does not cover cost of house-furnishing and repairs.

The fund is frequently called upon to carry girls through a course of instruction, as one recently wentthrough a yearand ahalfin the Normal School, and one nowin music, thus fitting them for better work in life. The fund ts also called upon totake careof girls in sickness or out of employment. During the last year at least ten girls were entertained gratuitously. Five paid $3, three $3.25, twenty-five paid $3.50; twenty-three pald $4, two paid $4.50 and five paid $5. The total receipts were $14,734.56, of which amount the charity fund furnished $920.84. Since its organization the Woman’s Chris- tian Home has done a great deal of good quietly and unobtrusively, many have been protected and saved from harm. It presents aclean, homelike and cheerful appearance, and is the home of many woman of refinement and cultivation, who have small means and are fitting themselves who become self-sustaining.

The rope work may be double, the curtain then coming down between the interwoven cords, the weaving thus showing upon both sides of each curtain. A thin veneer of the same wood can be glued upon the outside of each side plece of the frame to conceal the insertion of the cord, which can be made of the proper size by selecting the desired shade of macreme twine and twisting and doubling it to the desired size, — " ?

May Sea se bed ® “ - a rs A e/g he oe Oe tw St En Sette wi Pu ; 4, / Of, oF illustrate this point, as everybody has heard ofher. Then there isa woman now living in the suburbs of st. Lcouls who twenty years ago was left a widow with seven small child- ren to support, while her only resource was asmallfarm, barren and fullof holes, and mortgaged besides. She was then as poor as it is possible for mortal to be, having no money and, of course, no friends. But she clungtothe farm and went to work witha will until in course of time she had the satils- faction of being able to lift the debt and also to build a more substantial house, . She suc- ceeded in securing ample schooling for her children and to bring them up a credit to herself, while the barren tract has been leveled and transformed intoa blooming garden and her stock will compare favorably withanybody’s. Now, either the bringing up of suci a large family or the Management ofa farm would have been sufficient for alinost any ordinary mortal, but she did both at the saine time, and very cre litably. I have often speculated astowhat she might have done under different circumstances, It its Mkely her usefulness would have been augmented if she had had the advantage of a-good edu- cation, assuming, of course, that education is not a failure. After learning her history I could never pass her place without experiencing a thrilling sensation; 1 always walked slowly and turned to look back after 1 had passed. Now even stretching my imagination tothe ut- mostIicannot seethat anybody but herself was responsible for her success, as the kind of helpifany which she was able to obtain in her straitened circumstances was Cer- tainly not fit to ald her with good advice. If such women are not endowed with a pro- gressive spirit it would be hard to see what impelled them onward. Many such instances might be cited and the majority of women could make as good a showing if compelled to doso. Of course it is neediess to maintain that this sort of ‘‘get up and get’’ individual, whether man or woman, + civilized enough to deify the stomach. But history shows that the salva- tion of the people rests with those who are capable of rising superior to the wants of the stomach, and it would be far better for the race if the word ‘‘epicure’’ were un- known and unnecessary. The fact that Mr. W. has set up his appetite as an idol and Ged- icated his stomacl’ as a shrine for its worship accounts for his morbidness, and he is to be pitied sincerely. Self-centered peo- ple, while disagreeable toall about them, are theirown worst enemies intheend. But Ido not deride the art of cookery. Lappre- Clate fully theimportance of simple, whole- some cooking, and, in viewof the present popularity of the cooking schools, Iam free to admit that when women fully realize what a power for good or evil they have in their hands they will not wantto exchange it for any of man’s prerogatives, not even the bal- lot. Itisto be hoped that cooking will be removed from the category of menial service In which it has hitherto been classed. Then porhaps those who loved the art for its own sake could follow it asa means of live- lihood without incurring social ostracism, and there would be some inducement for woman to strive for eminence in this par- ticular branch of industry. But cooking, as contemplated by Mr, W., will ever be beyond the scope of the average housekeeper, for the reason that it costs more than the aver- axe mMancaresto spend on his table, even though his appetite beevery whit as good as Mr. W.’s. In view of the exalted opinion Mr. W. has of his appetite and his feeding system his agg page attitude towards the indt- vidu who panders to it is a strange, to say the least, innate selfishness of man makes absolutely essential to his happiness that somebody be degraded into a mere drudge in order to minister to his wants, and in view of this fact no doubt Mr. Waish re- conceding towoman a soul. Even for- ae +2 “i | eee if from the cook’s and housekeeper’s stand- point he would find that: There are worms inthe cherries,and slugs in the roses, And ants in the sugar and micein the pies. The rubbish of spiders no mortal supposes, And ravaging roaches, and damaging flies, It’s sweeping at G6 and dusting at 7; It’s victuals at 8 and dishes at 0); It’s potting and panning from 10 to 11; We scarce break our fast ere we plan howto dine. With grease and with grime froin corner to center, Forever at war andivrever alert, eic., I’ll warrant Mr. W.’s enthusiasm on the subject would cool, and perhaps he would do something far more savage than to ‘‘pick up a bite here and there’’ in order to save work. Taking all things Into consideration it is cer- tainly more commendable to starve than to cultivate a capricious appetite, to the degra- dation ofa fellow-creature. If the appetite is a thing to be worshipped, surely a good cook is entitled to as much rever- ence as the ancient high priest and to a pension from the Government inold age. Mr. W.’s reasoning its incon- Bistent and absurd, as there is nothing to show that cooking was delegated to woman with malice aforethought. It is more than probable that man did not know enough to do any. such thing, but In view of the fact that the average man is completely out ofhis element andextremely ungainly and awkward in the kitchen, it doesn’t show good sense in those who affect to despise that which it is beyond their ability to perform, If Mr. W. thinks woman has a monopoly of superstitionI would suggest that for the sake of truth he study the ways of sailors, oreven go to any fortune teller for some pointers, and I have no doubt he will be con- vineed heisinerror. As for woman’s fear of mice, it seems to me this might be ac- counted for without any such far-fetched arguments. If man ‘has succeeded in getting entirely rid of his fear of mice, it is probable he laid It aside when he discarded his Mowing garments. WhenI Wwasa little girl I hever missed an opportunity to catch a mouse by the tall and to have some fun with it, Dut as I once witnessed a case where a young rat ran up the trouser le of one of our fleld hands it is not likely that I shall ever feel tempted to offer any of the rodenttribe any Inducement to seek a hiding place among my skirts. However, I have never yet seen a woman go into hys- terics on account ofa mouse, and Mr, Walsh must have drawn on the humorists for his in- formation. Even our clothes donot suit Mr. W. While everyone willl admit the utility of man’s ap- patel, nothing but blind egotism could see anything lovely in ft. However, in view of the present dress reform agitation, those who share Mr. W.’s opinions are apt to think that nis remarksin this respect are injudl- cious and ill-timed. ANOTHER WOMAN.

Sohas her wardrobe. The wardrobe fills thirty-seven trunks, but there isn’t a single corset in the entire outfit. Mrs. Bernard Beere doesn’t wear them. She never has. And she says that she never Bhe had on a loose house robe the other day when the SuNDAY Post-DIsPATCH representa- tive was admitted to her apartments at the Windsor Hotei, and despite the fact that the room was intensely warm she wore a long bearskin boa around her neck. ‘*In the first place, whatam I am to call you?’’ the writer asked. ‘‘Mrs. Beere or Mrs. Bernard Beere?’’ ‘*People who know me call me Mrs. Ber- nie,’’ said the lady in question. ‘*That is very nice for the people who Know you, but to the others you are——?’’ **Mrs. Bernard Beere, oranything, so you don’t spell my name ‘Bier.’ That is too fu- nergl.’’ **and Is it really true that corsets?’’ **Yes, indeed.’® . \ ** And never have?’’ ‘*I never bad a pair on in my life. You see, it was all due to my father’s prejudices, He would never allow me to putthemon. My mother often rebellei, but it was of no use,’ ‘*And didn’t you ever rebel, too?’ ‘‘Why, no,’* sald Mrs. Bernie, as if it were the first time the idea had ever oc. curred to her. ‘‘I had never known anything else, and so I was always perfectly satis- fled.’’ Then Mrs. Bernard Beere laughed and settled herself comfortably in d@ luxurious chair under the full light of the chandelier, She is not pretty. Her mouth is irregular and soare her teeth, She has a good nose, straight and slender. Her eyes are gray with dark eyelashes and eyebrowsa shade lighter. The lower lid forms a straight line across the eye, encroaching slightly upon the iris, and it is this peculiarity which gives the face a rather unusual expression. The eheek bones are high and the cheeks a trifie hollow, it may be from recent illness. Mrs. Beere’s hair is perhaps more golden than nature designed itshould be. It seems aconfused arrange- ment of short, fluffy curls and a loose knot. One cannot follow the design out clearly, but the result is quite fetching. As she threw back the dark boa she displayed a throat that was white and slender. When Mrs, Beere forsook the shelter of the table her eorsetless condition was very évident. The writer vowed that if what she beheld was the result of a total ab- stinence from corsets she would for- swear them then and there. But in all honesty Mrs. Beere’s figure was not really the acme of perfection which would make one sigh to emulate it. It was quite unneces- sary to ‘‘feel’’ her waiste, as she besought the writer to do, in order to satisfy oneself of the absence of stays. Acorset is one of the things which is most conspicuous by its ab- sence. In Mrs. Beere’s stage gowns this lack may not be so apparent. ‘*l am devoted to loose, soft effects,’’ said Mrs. Beere, as we resumed the cerset topic. ‘**How about other features of dress reform? Do you go in for common-sense shoes?’’ ‘‘Ob, Iam particularly dainty about my shoes. They must be as exquisite as possible. But Ido kickthem off,’’ she said, witha laugh, as shethrustone daintily stockinged foot out from under her dress. ‘‘One time, when I was playing Peg Woffington in ‘Masks and Faces,*I had todancea jig. And in the midst of it I kicked one of my shoes off, right into the pit, amonga whole lotof men and boys. I promptly kicked the other off into the files and finished my jig in my stocking feet. At the end of the play all those men and boys gathered outside the theater, and when I came out they tossed my poor bronze slipper up into the air, shouting, ‘The best man gets it.’ Well, I never saw it again. Ihave always said I had a shoe waiting for the person who could match it. ‘*But don’t you want to see some of my gowns? asked Mrs. Beere, ‘Nina, darling, don’t you want to bring out that Worth dress that Just came?’ ’’ In response to this endearing request a slender, dark-eyed girl appeared. She is Miss Steele, and, with heraunt, Miss Chap- pell, Mrs. Beere’s long-time friend, travels with the actress wherever she goes. Over her arm she carried a wonderful pale-pink you do not wear Corsets. gown with a separate skirt over it of watered crepe. crepesleeves extended to the wrist. ‘*‘What I like about this dress,’’ said Mrs. Beere, ‘‘is that dirty-looking point d’Alen- con. Ican’t bear white lace, and that looks sO yellow and so—so—dirty.’’ It certainly did. ‘Another dress to be worn in Fedora is of pale blue crepe de Chine, with great puff sleeves reaching to the elbow, from which a tight cuff of Venetian point extends to waist. There is a sort of jacket of heavy gold embroidery with torquolse settings. Another stunning gown is of Diack crepe de Chine, with a gold-embroidered yoke jacket, jew- elled with pink. It has a girdle of rose crepe, with great iridescent ends, ‘This gown is elaborately trimmed with black point de Venice and is lined throughout with pink silk. : ‘*My dressmakers all say lam daft on one point—the inside ofa dress.
