Is Said to Know the Attitude of Each Hesitating Senator—His Message Re- nod On to Bring Them Into Line—No Question As to the Action of the House —Last Night’s Caucus—Pen Pictures of Representatives as They Came Into the Hall. * — Wasninoror, D. C., Aug. 8.— Whatever may be the exact form of President Cleve- jand’s message the public may rest assured of one most important fact, namely, the President is convinced that his policy will de indorsed by the votes of a majority in each branch of Congress. Of the action of the House there is no doubt. The most ardent free coinage men grant an administrative majority of not less than thirty. It will af- ford no little relief to the thousands of anx- fous business men who shall read these lines to receive the further information that the Administration is equally confident of a small Dut absolutely safe majority in the Senate. President Cleveland is not shooting into darkness. He has talked to every doubtful Senator and knows precisely the attitude of each. His message will be so constru cted that it will be not only comparatively easy for those Senators who have been considered doubtful to support his policy but practical- ly impossible for them to do otherwise. Following is the Administration’s. table, showing what it believes to be the actual standing of the Senate: FOR REr TAL. Aldrich, R. I., Allison, Iowa, Black burn, Kentucky. Brace. Ohio.

It differs from thatof the Adminis- tration in these respects only: It transfers Blackburn, Dolph, Harris, Mills and Vest from the repeal columa to the anti-repeal column. It concedes Tyrpie’s vote to the Administration. It leaves Cameron out of account altogether. Make these changes andthe vote stands for repeal (3, against repealds. On the other hand the Adminis- tration hopes to get the votes of Turple, Alien of Washington and Carey, making an even 80, a majority of 12. It does feel suf- fiently certain however to place these names in the column to Which it pins its faith. On the present claims of both sides, therefore, the decisive element narrows down toa very small number, no one of whom, despite numerous interviews, in committed publicly to either side. Consider them in turn: Despite Senator Pugh’s assertion that it Blackburn goes back on us, 1 will never have any more con- dence in human nature,“ your correspond- ent has the highest authority for saying that both he and his colieague, Senator Lindsay, will support the measure in which Secretary Carlisle no less than President Cleveland will feel a personal interest. Senator Pugh’s claim of Senator Dolph’s vote is based upon a mysterious letter said to have been addressed by the Oregonian to Senator Jones. This letter has never seen the light of publicity, and as Jones’ opposi- tion to free silver has been steadfast, there is no satisfactory evidence that he will not Sustain his record, Senator Harris may deem it his duty to make suggestions designed to _ ©xact a compromise, but when the time for a Anal vote shall come the Administration has reason to believe that his ballot will be dat in its support. The same statement ap- Plies to Senator Millis. TO VEST. 12 as _ Of Vest there is more doubt, for this rea- ‘Son: Gov. Stone is taking advantage of the Senator's desire and intention to support the Senet on OY catering te the free silver N Kansas City were framed with this object in view, nobody familiar with the situation in Missouri doubts, This makes the Senator's tion somewhat difficult, butas his term t expire until 1897 there is Nttle reason to eve that fear of desert will be strong enough to induce him to defeat the Adminis- tration. Senator Pugh left Cameron out of calcula. tion because he supposed he was abroad and knew he was unpledged. As a matter of fact, Senator Cameron sailed a week ago, and is due in New York to-morrow. While the Ad. ministration hopes to get Turple’s vote, eon; ceded strangely by Pugh, it fully realizes his uncertainty up to the last moment, and so does not include him in the list of the faith- ful. Carey has always voted against free silver, but it seems too much to expect that a Senator from Washington will be found in the sound money column at the finish. Allen of Washington, like Mantle and Beckwith, has not yet deen admitted, but probably will be this week, and although he has made no declaration, is likely to be found with them in the anti-repeal column as clas- sified above. There is every reason to believe, therefore, after a most carefal and wholly unbiased analysis of the situation, that the Adminis- tration’s confidence of ultiMate success in the Senate is well grounded. The belief is strengthened by the admissions of the silver leaders. They still try to preserve a brave appearance, but the mere fact that such men as Bland and Jones already announce a will- ingness to accept a ratio of 20 or even 22 tol is peculiarly significant in view of their sturdy adherence to the present ratio in the past. CLEVELAND'S POLICY NOT KNOWN. To avoid the possibility of a misunder- standing the reader must bear in mind that the calculations made above are based, not ne Cessarily upon the unconaitional repeal of the Sherman act, with no hint of subsequent legislation, Dut upon the policy which Cleve- land will declare in his message. What the policy will be is not yet known, and specula- tion at this late day would de dle. The ex- ac t method of procedure in Congress has not yet been determined, Ordinarily the admin- istration bill would be introduced in the Howse, reported favorably by the Coinage Committee, debated, passed and sent tothe Senate, where it would take the usual course anembers. of reference to the Finance Committee, fol- lowed by a report, discussion and a final vote. Adoption of this method, however, would involve the loss of considerable time. Three weeks, at the very least, will be con- sumed by the House, and as it is generally expected that the fate of the measure will depend uponthe ability of silver orators to talk forever, there seems to be good reason to utilize the time consumed by the House by introducing the bill simultaneously in the Senate. An objection to this policy has been that the Finance Committee, which has been considered a free silver committee, would either report a substitute or make no report at all, pending action bythe House. This brings to the fromt another act almost as important and interesting as that stated above relating to the probable attitude of the Senate, viz., that the Administration delleves its policy will have the support of a majority of the Finance Committee. This is quite the con- trary of the popular impression, but itisa fact. The Finance Committee comprises eleven Of these, five, Morrill, Sherman, Allison, Aldrich and McPherson, favor un- conditional repeal, while five others, Harris, Vance, Vest, Jones of Arkansas and Jones of Nevada, have been and probably will con- tinue to be advocates of free coinage, cer- tainly until it shall become necessary to choose finaily between their hobby and the Administration. The other member is Chair- man Voorhees, who has been a free silver man, but who now is counted by the Admin- istration as its nearest supporter. Close observers of policies have noted with interest President Cleveland’s many manifestations of friencliness towards Senator Voorhees especially in the making of appointments, and cannot easily see how the Senator can fall to show his approbation when the occasion shall arrive. Unless, therefore, the Administration is mistaken in its estimation of Senator Voorhees’ loyalty, it would seem to have good ground for the belief that its policy will have the support of the Finance Committee. In that event there is no apparent obstacle in the way of speedy work by the Senate. THE QUESTION OF TIME. Assuming that these estimates of the Ad- ministration are correct the sole problem confronting it is how to obtain a vote in each branch at the earliest moment. No difficulty need be experienced in the House. Bland is shouting loudly that there must be no gag law. This: is a waste of breath. It is quite probable that some changes in the rules will be made to facilitate business, but there need be no arbitrary measures. Itis always in order under the old rules for the Committee on Rules tocallupareport fixing the order of business in the House for taking a fnal vote on any pending bill, Under this provision tbe Committee has the power, if it sees fit to use it, to cut off allbustering absolutely. It was by utilizing this clause that Bland brought his free coin- age bill to a vote th the last session. The only possible bar toits full exercise is the precedent established by Speaker COrisp’s ruling, when Bland tried to revive his meas- ure under the same clause, that he must se- curea petition signed by a majority of the party in power., This, in effect, fixes the re- sponsibility for cloture upon a majority of the party in power, and as there might be aimculty in securing the names of a majority of Democrats to a petition for cloture, a change of rules in this respect is probably essential, But there will be and need be no czarism. Speaker Crisp will not assume the authority which Reed did, torule out motions which he may not like, ortocount a quorum, The object will be precisely the same as that attempted in the Fifty-second congress, and well explained U debate as not to vest the power in the peaker, one man; not to vest it in the fill- buster, one man; not to vest it in the Com- mittee on Rules, a set of men, but to vest it in the House, by authorizing the Committee on Rules toask the House whether it is its desire to proceed with business and'its desire that the filibuster be stopped. HOPE OF THE SILVER MEN. With this purpose in mind, there will de no | diMculty in framing rules which will ent ble the House to decide for itself what it will and if a majority desire to vote on the rope al bill at a certain time they will have the power to do so. In fact the silver leaders ere so Well aware of this that they confess de- featin the ‘‘subservient’’ House and pin their hopes tothe deep lungs of the Senate. There seems to be no way to obtain a vote there except by p tin, : a 9 5 . we N a — 1 a cloture or limit of speech making is im- possible. The Southern Senators still feel a debt of gratitude to the silver men for their necessary ald in defeating cloture on the force bili and will not vote to curtail the privilege which all have enjoyed in the past. Senator Gorman says that if he were in charge of the fight, he would let the oppo- sition do all the talking, and as forty men cannot well tan more than forty days he would expect to reach a vote in two months and probably earlier, unless all the silver men flatly defy public opinion. There is al. ways the possibility which the Westerners cannot ignore, that if they try to defeat the will of the people by filibustering, there may bean end of filibustering and an end of Silver. CAUCUS NOMINEES. The Democrats of the Fifty-third Congress to- night bestowed the caucus nomination for Speaker upon Chas. F. Crisp, of Georgia, by acclamation. Clerk Kerr was also renomin ated and ex-Congressman Stow of Indiana was chosen to succeed Sergeant-at-Arms Yoder of Ohio. A. B. Hart of Missis- sippi, defeated Turner of New York for the door-keepership. Lycurgus Dalton was renominated Postmaster and Samuel W. Haddtway of the Methodist Epicopal Church ot South Washington was selected as Ohap- lain. The whole ticket is satisfactory to ev- ery body except the defeated candidates and their champions and with the exception of Congressman Outhwaite's assault on Yoder the deliberations of the caucus were marked by an entire absence of bitterness or even of excitement. THE MESSAGE. It Was Read To and Discussed by the the Cabinet. | WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 5.—A Cabinet meeting was called for 4 o’clock this after - noon and all the officers were at the White House long before that hour. Secretary Carlisle was the last to arrive. He walked over from the Treasury and reached the executive mansion at exactly 4o0’clock. The Cabinet was in session until 5:30 o’clock. Although none of the Cabinet would discuss what had occurred at the meeting, it is un- derstood on excellent authority that the sole topic discussed wasthe President’s message and the sperial session. It had been prepared at Gray Gables and Mr. Cleveland desired to read it to his official family and to have it discussed before sending the manu- scrip tothe public press. It is understood that the document is quite longand goes ex- tensively into figures bearing upon the Gov- ernment’s e rience under the operations of the Sherman law. METIN cCAUOUS. Representatives of the House Choose Officers for the Session. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 5.—The Demo- cratic members of the new House began to gatheronthe floor shortly after 7 o’clock this evening for the caucus to select officers ofthe chamber. They came by twos and threes and then in little processions of ten or a dozen. A hundred camp followers were already on the floor, and during the hour that followed a deal of hard missionary work was done. The House was hot and close, and the members from the Northern States looked jaded and warm as they came into’ the hall, Southern members, however, looked as though they had just arrived at a pleasant summer resort, Where they were —— to stay quite as long as might be ececsary. Bourke Cockran, who was an early ar- rival, wore a heavy suit of black in which he tried hard to look comfortable. Dapper C ongressman Fitch was attired ina neatly cut suit of gray, but sighed for his white fannels. Col. Fellows strolled down the main hall withouta vest and with a red rose in the lapel of his loose frock coat. Farmer Hatch of Missouri wore a seersucker vest and a light-weight black coat, and dignified Mr. Wilson of West Virginia appeared ina negli. gee shirt and a loosely tied scarf. Handsome Congressman Duborow of Illi. nois was resplendent in a pink shirt, with big gold studs anda diamond collar button, while Private John Allen of Mississippi came in dressed in a frock coat with ample skirts but gulltless of vest. Keen-eyed William J. Bryan, whois to heip Bland lead dis silver forces, had just arrived from the Chicago Silver Convention and still carried a danger- ous glitter in his eyes. Congressman Enloe of Tennessee also were an aggressive air as though he were still on the trall of ‘‘Refrig- erator’’ Raum, Cen. Black of Illinois look- ing calm, cool, and as courteous as ever, strolled about from one desk to another shaking hands with the members whote ac- quaintance he had made while ne was Presi- dent Clévelana’s Commissioner of Pensions. Col. Oates of Alabama, the stalwart Confed- erate veteran whose empty sieeve speaks for his bravery on the battlefield, also worea seersucker vest, and looked as if he were sorry hé had not brought the coat along. Congressman Springer came early, but the customary pink that usually adorns his coat was absent. He looked confident, however, and when his colleagues taiked about the chairmanship of the ays and Means Com- mittee he smiled quietly and seemed not at all disturbed. Amos Cummings, with fire in his eye, filtted about the floor nervously, as the hall filled up, and Tarner’s friends, who noted his expression, gave up their last des- perate hope. Speaker Crisp modestly remained in his private room while the members gathered in the house. The other candidates made their headquarters in the various committee rooms. Smith, who was after the door- keepership, established himself in the Com- mittee on Naval Affairs. Dr. Woodruff, who wanted to be Chaplain, his post in the House and worked for himself, while Iceman“ Turner oscillated between the office stairs andthe doorway into the Speaker’s lobby. By a very sensible arrangement the news- paper correspondents were admitted tothe lobby in the rear of the hall, where a hun- dred of them gathered to await the announce- ment of the result of the caucus. It was 8:30 o’clock when Judge Holman, the chairman of the caucus ascended the Speaker’s platformand rapped for order. The hall was comfortably filled, a number of visitors. includinga few Senators, having been admitted tothe privilege of the floor. The atmosphere of the chamber with the doors all closed was trying and members worked their hats as fans industriously. Old members drew togetherin groups and dis- cussed old times and passed preferences among them. The candidates Cochran, Bynum, McCreary, McMillan and Wilson, of West Virginia, formed a groupthat attructed much attention from the new members. The interest at the outset was languid. 411 but one of the important contests had been settied in advance. Judge Holmanhad ad- dressed the caucus briefly and Secretary Robertson had called the roll, Judge Turner of Georgia rose and, in a few well chosen remarks, put Judge Crisp in nomination for Speaker. His remarks were met with applause and the nomination was ratified by acclamation. The Chairman ap- pointed Messrs. 8 ger, Hatch and Wiison of West Virginia a cOmmittee of three to es- cort Judge Crisp into the hall. Judge Crisp was found in the Speaker’s private room and, taking thearm of Mr. Hatch, the nom- inee accompanied the committee to the hall. The appearance of Judge Crisp in the cham. ber was the signal for loud applause, which was -* renewed when the dis- tin uished Georgian took a position beside Chairman Holman and began his short address of thanks for honorwonferred. It was punctuated with applause and at its conclusion there were loud cheers given for the nominee.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 5.—The room of the Committee en Juditiary was none too large to hold the Republican members of Congress who gathered there to-night to nominate their candidates for officers of the Fifty-third Congress. Mr. Henderson of Iili- nois presided, and Mr. Hooker of New York acted as secretary, and each was subse- quently re-elected in the same position in the caucus for the ensuing Congress. When it came to nominate the ticket that isto be defeated Monday, Gen. Henderson nominated ex-Speaker Reed, saying that he would name a man whose record and whose hold on the popular heart would make a more eloquent appeal than anything he might be able to say. The nomination was made by acclamation, and after prolonged applause Mr. Reed re- sponded in one of his characteristic speeches, his sarcastic drawl having lost noneof its punwency during the summer recess. Four months ago, he said, they had left Congress and returned to their homes, with the country in a prosperous condition. All the mils were running, the spindles playing furnaces roaring, labor employed every- where, and the people happy. Now, be continued, we are called back to find an ex- traordinary business depression, distrust in allcirclesanda general demoralization of the finances of the country, a condition of course, he said, precipitated by Democratic failure to legisiate. In this emergency the Democrats call upon the Republicans to lay aside ail ship, forget anything that has Been done im fie past, and join with the Democrats to help them out of their present There was no attempt on the part of Mr. Reed to outline a pw policy. and he con- cluded ~ saying the Republican party would be found discharging its dutyina way to fit m with the broad measure of its past record when it was in the majority, and if it did this it could be asked to Co no more. The remainder of the ticket nominated was as follows: Clerk—Ed McPherson, Pennsylvania. Sergeant-at-Arms—A. J. Holmes, Iowa. ai tata „A. Hathaway, Pennsylva- nia. Chaplatn—Rev. Horace Green of New York, these being, with the exception of the Chap- lain, the officers of the Fifty first Congress. A recommendation was also made tothe Democratic caucus to retain upon the rolls Capt. Currier of Iowa, George Jenntson of New York and S. H. Decker of Ohio, Repub- lican messengers; Albert Kenneay of Michi- gan, chief o ges,and John Chancey of the District of Columbia., the Republican ‘twhip,’’ all of whom served in the last Congress. 8 SPEAKER CRISP. Cordial Reception by Members of the House~His Speech. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 5.—The reception of Judge Crisp by his party friends to-night was cordialtothe pomt ofenthusiasm. The Judge looked exceedingly well. His face was flushed and his bearing was most affa- ble. He has enttrely recovered from the 1. ness which prostratel him after his first election as Speaker and which fora time threatened to leave an annoying seed of malady. He will ente on his duties Monday prepared for a long sige ot hard work. When Crisp was chosen Speaker by the caucus to-night he was escortedto the hall by Messrs. springer, Hatch and Wilson, where he was introduced by Mr. Hatch. Mr. Crisp spoke as follows; „»The extraordinary condition of affairs throughout the couniry necessitated our meeting in extraordinary session. In so far as that condition is attributable to existing law, we are in no wise respensible for it. Now for the frst time in more than — years, we grein full power. We can repeal the laws ani we can make good The people have entrusted us with that power, gnc 1 — us to exercise it for their benefit. Our financial system should be revised ana reformed. The strictest economy in public expenditures should be observed and taxation should b¢ equalized and greatly reduced, To thes purposes are we thoroughly / committed. We must. redeem our pledges. Let us begin the work at oe. Let us lay aside every other consideration than the public good, and endeavor to discharge the duties assigned us as to re#ore confidence, pro- mote prosperity and advance the general welfare of all classes Of our people. N **Sincerely —— r your. confidence ana esteem, I pledge —— vote for the dis- charge of the responsible position yop have ability I assigned me, all the energy and possess. PRESIDENT CLEVELAND Back From Buzzards Bay Ready for the Work Ahead. * Wasninetor, D. ¢ „ Aug. 5.—President Cleveland and the thre Members of his Cab- inet who were his trateling companions from Gray Gables argived here shortly before 2 o’clock this afternoos. The exact hour the party was due was — generally known, and were com reif few people at the — to greet the Pr ident.

The engines were running close tothe curb: and were just passing Sixth street as the Presi. dent’s carriage was about to turn into the avenue. The coachman brought his horses to a stop but the clanging bells frightened the high strung steeds and they reared and plung in a threatenin way. Secretary Carlisle's carriage sto alongside that of the President and his horses were also alarmed. Mr. Carlisle opened his carriage door preparatory to jumping, bat the President sat perfectly stiu through the excitement. In a moment the danger was all over and the President proceeded tothe White House, the Cabinet ‘officers going directly to their respective de- partments. The White House bas been thoroughly re- | ome tone and renovated during the Presi- ent’s vacation, and he was pleased at the 4 ppt mits age that had been made, particu. lar y in his private office. Private Secretary Thurber takes the credit for the changes that had been made in the President’s workshop and was delighted that he had caught Mr. Cleveland’s fancy. Mr. Cleveland had luncheon on the train and soon after reaching the Executive Mansion started into examine into some matters requiring his immediate attention. Mr. Cleveland did not succeed in accomplish- ing very much, asthe Cabinet officers began to drop in. They all greeted him warmly and spoke of vacation reminiscence. When they came away they spoke in a most en- thusiastic tone of the President’s appear- ance. When Cleveland left for his summer retreat on the Bay State coast, he had began tos how fatigue as a result of the long strain to which he had been subjected from the first day of his inauguration. Mr. Oleveland smiled away the fears of his friends, who had become somewhat alarmed at the change in his condition and insisted that a few weeks away from the hurily-burly of Washington was all that was required to put him in ex- cellent trim for his arduous duties incident to the session of Conress. Mr. Cleveland has certainly returned greatly changed for the better, he is much stronger aud in his talk to-day he said that but for the slight rheu- matic troubles he + teeta occasionally, he was in perfect health, THE TWO HOUSES. There Are Now 444 Members in Both Houses of Congress. WASHINGTON, D. O., Aug. 5.—The body which convene at the capital Monday is the Fifty-third Congress. It will de the first Congress elected under the new apportion- ment based on the census of 1890, and also the largest that has ever assembled under this Government. The Senate will remain as in the last Congress, consisting ot elghty- eight members. But the House of Repre- ‘Sentatives which, in the Fifty-second Gon- gress, had 832 members, will in the new boay have 3566 members, an increase of twenty- four. The new Congress will therefore con- tain 444 members. The growth of Congress has deen as steady as the increases i population and new States. The size ofthe senate, of course, is arbitrarily determined by the Constitution, which requires that every State shall have two Senators. But the sizeof the House of Representatives can be increasedor daimin- ishea by the action of Congress in deciding upon the ratio of population tothe appor- tlonment. The total increase in the size of the popular branch of Congress is large. The first apportionment of members to the States was made by the constitution itself and was to last until a census of the populat ton of the country was completed. The assumed basis was 30,000 inhabitants to each representative, andit would have given a house of sixty- five members had all the thirteen original States participated, and the Senate would have had twenty-six members. The first real apportionment of the meém- bers of the House of Representatives accora- ing to population was after the census ot 1790, when one member was assigned toeach 33, of population, producing a House of 106 mem- bers. Ten years later another apportion- ment was made with 85,000 as a basis, and the size of the House rose to l4l members. The basis adopted after the census of 1810 was 85,000 population, andan increase of forty mem- bers raised the size of the house to 181. The two subsequent censuses continued to show an increase in the population, and a small increase is also seen in the basis of repre- sefAtation. In 1820 the basis was made 40,000 and the membership of the house rose to 213, and in 1830 the basis agreed upon was 47,700 — N more members were added. But when the census of 1840 had been taken and a new apportionment made Congress apparently had come tothe conclusion that the growth of the House of Representatives had been too rapid and a large increase in the population basis was agreed upon. It was made 70,680 and a house of 213 members, or seventeen less than the last one, was returned, The same idea seems to have been held in apportioning members un- der the census of , when the basis was fixed at 93,423, but even with this enlarged pop- ulation basis the House began to grow again, having 234 members. Since then the growth has been steady, both in the 1 — basis and in the size of the House. In 1860 the unit of representation was 127,381 of population and the House num- bered 243 members; in 1870, the unit was 131,425 and the House had 293 members. A basis of*151,911 in 1880 gave a House of 325 members and the House that meets next week will bave 3856 members on an assumed basis of 178 901 of population to each. This rapid growth of the popular branch of the Governmentis regarded with apprehen- sion by many, and it undoubtedly is the cause of much cradeness in legislation pad ob- struction in the passage of necessary laws. But when compared with the Parliament of Great Britain the American Congress looks small. The population represented in Parliament is not two thirds of that represented in Congress, but the member- shit ot Congress ts only about one-third that of Parliament. The American House of Rep- resentatives is only a little more than half as large as the British House of Commons, and the Senate about one-seventh as large as the House of Lords. So it cannot be claimed that the evils of legisiation inthis country are due in any large measure tothe size of Con- gress. The election of amore capable class of menanda radical reform in the methods of legislation are more important than a re. auction in the size of Congress. — — ͤ ꝗ—— — AFTER THE REPEAL Congress Should Create a Commission to Consider the Currency Question. WasnIncrTon, D. C., Aug. 5.—The New York WORLD’s suggestion that Congress, after repealing the Sherman law, shall provide for the appointment of a monetary comumils- sion to consider and report upon the whole currency question and that à recess be then taken until December will be promptly in- corporated in a bill or . vigor - the attention of Congress, tue who moti Doras Ay Ken yo woe onal moneta a he attende4.as a dele ee the ted States, is about measure ing for thea 6 3 = — . 5 „ Bat a ¢ a> ee * n * ‘igs a > ¢ 7 > ¥ * 83 1 roy t ee n . a ** % — i peal be referred to a commission and —— a „ In discuss ure Mr. McCreary said to-day: The WoRLD’s suggestion for the appoint- ment of a monetary commission is most o portune. I have for some time been consid- ering the best plan of creating and organizing such a comm and shall take an early opportunity to introduce a measure for that be com- sy Pp wers as well as lenders and all other business inter- ests of the country, ands com posea of say two Senators, three Representatives and two experts selected by the President. Sach monetary commissions have been ap- pointed in the past and nave always render- ed valuable service. The 8 commis - sion in Englaud of which Lord Hirschel the chairman mad report and furnis! much |i mation recently to the 2 0 f permanent value in the direction of solving the finan- cial difficulties of that time. It hel to lead to the adoption of the act of 1878, wn as the Bland. son act, which was then a very beneficial measure and which remained unchanged until 1890, when the Sherman law was adopted. We want conservative, well advised action on financial questions and there should be careful examination and thorough study of the conditions throughout the country before anything is done after the Sherman law tis re az there should be de- liberation and time allowed the dle to study the effect and to permit public conf- dence to be restored, Iseeno reason Con- gress should not adjourn by September, leav- ing ninety days for the work of the commis. sion which could make its report to Congress upon convening for the regular session in December. The commis- sion should make its“ investigation as thorough and comprehensive as possible and should reach all classes. It should take the evidence of business men in the impor- tant cities in the South, East, North and West andexamine carefully local fnancial conditions. Every important line of business should be investigated and opportunity given for representatives of the laboring classes, agricultural” and manufacturing classes to be heard. A commission constituted in this or some such manner as has been suggested and mak- ing anexpeditious but thorough survey of the Nnancial conditions existing in every section ofthe country, could put into the hands of members of congress upon recon- vening in December more reliable and valu- able information than could possibly be secured in any other way. Its findings would be respected and endless discussions of points now in debate could be avoided. As to the action which Congress should ultimately take upon the financial question, I will say that I favor the recall of the Sner- man law and the coinage of not to exceed $2,000,000 monthly of the bullion now in the Treasury, provided the President shall de- cide thata necessity for such coinage has arisen. Should the bullion in the Treasury become exhausted, the Secretary of the Treasury should be authorized, with the ap- proval of the President, to — at the market price, not to exceed 100 cents, $2,000,- 000 worth monthly, antil a sufficient amount should de secured. seems to me that under such conditions as these suggested, the urchase and coin - age of silver coul never at any time menace the country and the status of both gold and silver as money would be main- tained. I think such a proposition would find favor both inthe House and the Senate, and could be speedily enacted into law, after the report of the nroneta commission sug- 1 by the WORLD. is im eep in mind, however, that the for theappointment of a commisst! not hinge upon any policy of naue lation in the future. The work of t. mission would be to supply a basis for subse- quent legislation which,in the light of the Important information thus obtained, could be prosecuted with the highest intelli- > gence.’’ THE SHERMAN LAW. — —— Act of 1890 Providing for the Purchase of SUver Bullion. Early in June, 1890, the Lower House of Congress passed a bill authorizing the pur- chase of silver bullion and the issue of Treas- ury notes thereon. This Dill had been pre- pared by Mr. Windom, the Secretary of the Treasury. The Senate rejected important clauses of the House bill and passed what was known as the Senate bill. The House re- jected all the Senate amendments except one anda conference Committee was appointed to prepare a compromise Dill. On July 7, 1890, acommittee of conference, consisting of Senators Sherman, Jones of Nevada, Vest of Missouri and Harris, and Representatives Conger, Walker of Mas- sachugetts and Bland (Messrs. Vest and Blan@not signing the report), reported an agreement as follows: Beit enacted, to., That the Secretary of the Treasury is hereby direoted to purchase from time to time siiver bullion to the amount of 4, " ounces, or so much thereof as * be offered, in each month, at the market price thereof, not ex- ceeding $1 for 371.25 grains of pure silver, and to is- sue in payment for such purchases of silver bullion Treasury netes of the United States, to be prepared by the Secret of the Treasury in such form aad ef sueh denominations, not less than 61 nor more than e , a6 he may prescribe, anda sum sufficient to carry into effect the provisions of thisactis hereby — ropriated out of — money in the asury aot 0 0 erwise 1 at Sec. 2. ü the Treasury notes issued in ac- cordance with the provisions of this act shall be re- deemabie on demand in coin in the Treasury of the nited States or at the office of any Assistant reasurer of the United States, and when so re- deemed may be reissued; but no greater or less amount of notes shall be outstandin the eost of the silver builio standard silver dollars coined there held in the Treasury pure such notes; and such Treasury netes shail be legal tender in ment of all debts, public and otherwise stipulated in the e act, and dues, and when so received may be reiss such notes when held by any — A for ec under suca re as he may prescr deem such notes in gold or silver coin at his d tion, it — the established policy of States to maintain the two metaison a par each other upon the present legal ratio or such ratio as may be provided ny law.

Unlike the majority of commentators, they do not attribute the appointments directly to President Cleve- land, but to Whitney through Lamont.

It was this way: Croker was asked by Lamont to suggest a number of names foreach place. He did go, and Lamont made one of his little trips to New York on purely private business, having no relation whatever to politics, to look over the Msts. First came the suggestions for Postmaster. None filled the Dill. Then came the candidates for District Attorney. Lamont glanced down the list of names till he came to Charles W. Dayton, then he stopped.

The Czar, with ‘whom Germany has not much personal.sym- pathy, is reported to be much vexed. His maxim is that all friends of the Poles are his enemies. Russia’s former favorable attitude juttard the Poles somewhat counterbalanced the severity of the Prussian-Polish acminis- tration, as shown chiefly in Bismarck's pro- fective laws against the increase of Polish ide nce on Germany's eastern frontier. The Empe ror’s friendliness toward Prussian- Poland now has revived the almost extinct hope there of a Polish insuarection. The prevailing opinion in Berlin is that the Kaiser’s kind treatment of the Poles was with the view to an approaching war and the turning to account of Polish hatred against Russia ratber than as a reward for services in support of the army Dill. There is not much belief here that the kindling of the tariff war will blaze into a war with deadiy weapons, but tbere is a strong hope that Russia willend the contest by asking fora new commission to consider terms ofatreaty. The conference of fnance ministers begins Tuesday. It will continue This is the programme: The sum necessary to be raised will be de- termined, after which there will be a discus- sion over what articles shali be taxed. Each member of the conference will advance his own proposals, which will be separately dis- cussed. Next will come the eliminating of allimpracticable projects and the voting on the rest. The proposals which get a major ity will be fully drawn out and submitted to the Reichstag. It is not probable that Dr. Miquel’s idea as to the liquidating of the imperial debt can be carried out for years, because neither tlh» Prussian Minister of Finance nor any other public man can devise any means by which the additional money needed can be raised now. The Imperial Budget already shows a small deficit. Acting on a report of the cholera commis- on the Minister of Public Works has issued new rules for managing railways in time of epidemics. Ihe chief points relate to the treatment of passengers, freight and sleep- Ing cars. Directions for thorough disinfec- tion are coupled with strict instructions to rallway servants about how to deal with * suspicious cases of sickness during a jour- ney. The government at Potsdam has issued acircular to be sent to the rural districts urging the necessity of holding rooms ready for cholera patients at a moment’s notice. Widespread and thorough preparations to combat the d.sease are making wherever they are not zlready made, and it is thought Ant in Germany this year cholera will be re- rieted to a few isolated cases. Privy Councilor Wermouth, Imperial Commissioner to the World’s Fair, on arriv- ing here found himself the cause of much iment on account of his remarks before leaving New York as tothe Emperor’s visit. His — 2 to induce the Emperor to go to the position was all brag. The Emperor’s Time, as the Post-DISPATCH correspondent bad cabled heretofore, isfully occupied; a change of plans is not a remote possibility. The miniature fortress in the private park of Sans Souci, near the new palacein Potsdam, approaches completion. It is built of brick, mortar and cement andis an exact repro- Guction of the sort of fortress which would mow de bullt ta new one were ordered by the Government. It is designed by Ppp of Essen and the constre- tion was superintended by an employe in pes factory who was formerly an offi- Ser ot high rank. This fortress is not only to amuse the imperial princes, but is meant for the Emperor, who will study itasa model of modern science in fortifying, ue is greatly interested in this new military plaything and hasinspected it several times during the progress of the work. His last inspection was whenthe brickwork was finished. He there and then decorated the foreman of the masons withthe decoration known here as the“ Allgemeiner Khrenzeicher,’’ (the uni- versal badge of honor). The fortress is bullt on a plan carried out in every detail with the greatest care. The brick Walls, three meters high, are surrounded be moattwo meters wide and one deep. There are several revolving towers contain- ing faithful copies by Krupp of his heav fortifying guns. An ingenious contrivand enables the cannon to be easily placed before the loopholes by turning a handie. As the — is constantly closed to the public it is mpossible to get the exact dimensions, but it wil? be about as large as a medium sized church and will cost about $120,000. The Cologne Gazette learns that Prince Max of Saxony resigned his military career and resolved to devote himself entirely to the riesthood on account ot his deep and hope- love of a princess nearly related to the German imperial family. If this is true it can refer only to Princess Feodora of Schieswig-Holstein, the youngest sister of the Empress. She livesin Dresden with her mother. She visited at this court a few Weeks ago. At that time there were rumors eee — 141 the Duke of 9 appened to visitin — eaine time.

Todd, Deputy Warden of the Peni- tentiary at Jefferson City, brought down two prisoners to St. Louis last night and they are now in the holdover at the Four Courts awaitingan examination by Dr. Priest prior to. being sent to the Insane Asylum. One of them isatall, heavily-bullt German, weighing about 200 pounds. He has a broad, repulsive-looking fave, with large, watery, Sray eyes and presents an admirable picture of a typical highwayman, burglar orcon- vict. He was sent up for fifteen years for highway robbery. The other is a medium- sized, fairly good-looking, bright-eyed mu- latto boy, about 2 years of age. He was convicted of burglary in the second 4. and sent up for three years. hey are both confined in the holdover in the same cell. One ts restless, wild-eyed and boisterous; the other quiet, listless and sub- dued. One is an old man and a raving maniac; the other young man with an unbalanced mind, When a reporter of the PostT-DISPATCH saw them last night the elder man, Gustave Meyers by name, was moving restlessly about the cell shouting at the top of his voice, pointing his finger occasionally at the inmates of the cells across the way and then beating the wooden partition with his open hand n 8. is partner in misery was quietly reclining on a bench apparently oblivious of his surroundings. As the re- porter approachedthe bars Meyers came to the front and pointing to the opposite cells exclaimed; See em there—listen to "em! They're go- ing to kill me—yes! yes! kill me!“ then he yelied and shuffling his way to the rear of the cell beat a tattoo on the. boards. Upon being assured that he would de 8 he guieted down somewhat, and Parker Dime, the young mulatto, came to the gate. He was asked why he was sent down from Jefferson and said it was because he was absent-minded. When asked if he had done anything out of the way he said: ‘‘No, I was never whipped or punished, but you see there was @ gang up there that wanted to do me up. ** How?’’ „Well, I’m afraid to tell you. It will only get me in trouble.“ How were they going to do you up?“ It was this way. They gotdown on me for something. Joe Ridley was the leader of the gang and they tried to kill me. Here some fellowsin a cellover the way began to sing *‘ After the Ball.“ his set Meyers offagain. He sprang to the bars and, pointing at them, cried: „Hear ‘em! hear "em! I told you they were going to kill us. Come on. Let's go out!’’ . It took some time to quiet him again d then Diffie continued: I'm afraid to tell you how they worked it. Upon being urged he went on: They wanted to polson me slowly and day by day.’’ * „With what?“ Now waitandI’ll get to that. He used to come into the cell and wink at me and then he would go overtothe bucket and put something into it. When I took a drink I would feel painsin my stomach and then my whole body would ache, the muscles twitch and my breast jump up and down. told the guards about it after they had been doing it for a year and they said I was crazy. „But what dia be put in the bucket?’’ don't like to tell you, but I will,’’ he sald ina whisper. ‘‘It was concentrated lye.’’ He could not exmiain where or how they got thelyeand was reluctant to speak any urther on the subject. Aman in one ofthe cells began whistling at this time and Veyers broke out again. There was no pacifying him this time. Dime did not seem to mind him, and when asked ifhe did not think Meyers was crazy, replied: **l’ve got my opinion, but what's the use of my saying he is crazy when they say I am crazy. Nobody would believe me,’’ It is probable that Dr. Priest will commit them both to the Insane Asylum to- morrow. PUT TO DEATH. The Crew ofaShip Murdered and the Vessel Burned. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Aug. 5.—An Austral- lan steamer brings the report that a Queens- land ‘‘labor’’ vessel, which was recruiting off the coast of Malayta, Solomon Islands. was attacked and captured by the natives. The white crew was killed and the vessel first looted and then set fre to and burned to the water’s edge. The first intimation of the affair was brought to Noumea by the ‘‘labor’’ vessel, Lady Staubyn, which had fallen into company with another vessel that had natives on board who were aware of the cir- cumstances, The plan adopted by the chief at Malayta was to decoy the vessel to certain places on the coast on pretense of supplying a number ot recruits. This was done after he had ostensibly shown his good intentions by putting on board a number of natives. On the arrival ofthe vessel atthe rendezvous she was surrounded by armed canoes and her crew quickly dispatched by the combined forces of natives oat and th taken aboard, “4 Tyra arrive at the Dur- t the to the American an WANT SEED WHEAT.

A Long List of Factories Already Closed or Which Will shut Down Soon — Seven Thousand Operatives Thus Thrown Out of Work and $66,000 Taken From the Weekly Circulation— Cloth Goods Accumulation — Other Eusiness Troubles. FALL River, Mass., Aug. 6.— About 700,000 spindles stopped here to-night for an in- definite period,’’ is the sentence attached by brokers to their weekly statement of the con- ditions of the cloth market, and the Mule Spinners’ Association led off their monthly circular with the words, ‘‘Husbana your re- sources. The two expressions picture the mill situa- tion here to-day about as clearly as it can De painted in words, The following mills will close to-night for one week, but the greater portion for four and probably for six weeks: American Linen, 87,000 spindles; Fall River Manufactory, 28,000; Flint, 42,000: Granite, process of erection); King Philtp, 105,000; Laurel Lake, 35,000; Metacomet, 28,000; Rich- ard Borden, 85,000; Roveson, 25,000; Seacon- net, 85,000; Shove, 60,000; Stafford, 45,000; Wampanoag, 68,000, and Weetamoe, 34,000. These corporations represent one-third of all the mills in the city. Seven thousand op- eratives will be idle and $66,000 will de taken from the weekly circulation. Other mills will follow their example and some that are nominally running have many idle looms, The shortage in currency is the immediate cause of the shut-down. In many, and per- haps the majority, of casesthe poor stafe of trade is the greater cause, and one that will more potently affect the length of time the mills will be idle. The weekly cloth statement issued to-day shows goods are stili accumulating here de- spite the curtallment of production from 190,000 to 175,000 pleces. The sales were only 41,000, hardly the production of eight good milis, and most of them were made on @ ruinously low basis. There is no call for reg- ular goods to speak of, there being but 1,000 pleces sold or just enough to make a quota- tion. The stock of last week has been in- creased 73,000 pieces and the mills are not well sold ahead, For the next few weeks the deliveries wiil be only 76,000 pieces, unless unexpected sales are made during the shut-down. At the shutting down of the milis named the production will be decreased from 60,000 to 70,000 pieces and this will have a salutary effect upon trade. The following is the print cloths statement forthe week. Production, 175,000; deliveries, 102,000; stock, 366,000; sales, 41,000; spots, 10,000; futures, 31,000. Market dull, price 2%c ior 64x64s. DISCHARGED 1,000 EMPLOYES. SAN Francisco, Aug. 5.—A policy of rigid retrenchment has been adopted by the South- ern Pacific Co., and in consequence thereof they have discharged 1,000 employes, decreasing the montbly pay-roll not less than $75,000, or at the rate of $900,000 annually. The discharged men were om the Pacific system or lines west of EI Paso and Ogden and South of Fortland. A reduction has also been made on the Atlantic system east of El Paso, but to what extent is not known here. This wholesale discharge of employes is in addl- tion to recent reductions of daily hours of labor in the various shops of the system. For some time past nine hours has been the rule in these shops, the men being always paid by the hour. Now they are working eight hoursaday, whichis a 10 per cent re- duction in time and is equivalent to the dis- charge of 600 men. The number of shop men discharged outright is not less than 250. Dis- missals from the force of track men are on a wholesale scale, for not less than 650 of these have been discharged. On the Pacific system there are about 2,000 trackmen scattered over California, Oregon, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico and Arizona. The discharges will leave about 1,400 in the States and terrif{ories named. The force of tele- graph operators has also felt the official ax, for between ten and twenty of them have been let out and several train dispatching offices have been abolished. The company has cut down its daily pas- senger train mileage fully 1,500 miles, as it has discontinued a number of passenger trains that covered that distance every day. Local freight trains are running about as usual, but ever through freight that is sent East or brought West has to be loaded to the full capacity before it is started on its journey. Economy in train service has caused the displacement of about 120 trainmen, including engineers, firemen, brakemen and conductors. The number of trainmen now on extra or waiting lists without pay is said to be over 260, the largest in the history of the com- pany. THE FAILURD LIST. Pottery Co.

From 2 o'clock until 8:15 o’dlock he held the attention of the 2,500 people who crowded the Tabernacle, more to have it to pay that they heard Sam Jones than to ex- perience an uplifting of the spirit.“ Those who heard Mr. Jones when he and Mr. Small preached here a few years ago do not need to be told that he has lost none of his old-time eccentricities. His gestures, his expressions and his catch- words, given with facial oddities, form over halt of Mr. Jones’ claim to notoriety and defy the photography of the pen. Half-past 2 o’clock was the hour mentioned for Mr. Jones to mount the rostrum, but he anticipated the time by thirty minutes be- cause he had to take a train at 8:30 o’clock ‘or St. Louis in order to get off for Cincin- ati on the night train. He explained that to ‘‘stay there’’ wae to keep in the path of righteousness, which required strength of character. He analyzed cheracter and mentioned faith, courage, perseverance, temperance, patience and brotherly kindness. On each of these topics the evangelist expended a fund of anecdote, quaint words and quainter ges- tures. Hefirst took up faith and convulsed the crowd witb his remarks about infidelity.

LARGE CROWD OF THE CURIOUS AWAITED THEIR COMING. A Conducted to Inspector McLaughlin’s Office—fhe Knew of the Charges Against Her, but Declared Her Inno- cence—Silent on the Subject of Her Marriage—Meyer’s Books. New York, Aug. 5.—Mrs. Henry C. F. Meyer, the alleged wife ot Dr. Meyer, both of whom were recently jointly indicted for wholesale poisoning to defraud insurance companies, arrivedin this city this after- noon. She came from Detroit in charge of Detecctives Von Gerichten and Trainor. On reaching the Grand Central Station she was placed at once ina carriage and driven to police headquarters. After an interview with Inspector McLaughlin she was taken to the Mercer Street Station, where she will re- main until Monday morning. She will then be brought before the District Attorney. It had been announced that she would reach this city at 2 o’clock this afternoon, and long before that time a large crowd had gathered at the depot to await her arrival. Among those present were Lawyers O' Sullt- van and Chandler, who are to conduet the case tor the defense. The train arrived promptly on time and soon after it had come to @ standstill Mrs, Meyer, accompanied by the detectives, alighted from the sleeping car. In her arms was the child who was born three weeks ago. Detective Von Gerichten carried Arthur, her 15-months-old boy, about whom there is so much mystery, in his arms. As the party walked down the platform the crowd hemmed in around them andthe police were forced to drive them back In order that Mrs. Meyer might reach the carriage. she isa rather good looking woman. Her figure is slight and her face bears an expression ofamiability. She isa pronounced brunette. Her hair is very dark as are also hereyes. She was dressed in a blue Eton suit and wore a neat bonnet. A blue vell covered her face, The lawyers stepped forward to greet the prisoner and then the party entered their carriages, which had been pre- viously engaged for them, and drove atonce to police headquarters. Mrs. Meyer, the two detectives and her two children rode in the first carriage. The two lawyers rode in the rear. On reaching headquarters she was conducted at once to Inspector McLaughlin’s office, where she entered into conversation with the Inspector for more than half an hour. She was then driven to the Mercer Street Station, where she will remain until Monday morning. Her photograph was not taken. After she had gone to the station McLaughlin gave out the following infor- mation: „Mrs. Meyer when brought before me said that her name was Mary Meyer. She de- clared that she was 28 years old, a native of Germany and that her occupation was that of Her home, she said, was in Detroit. She gave the name of her 15-months- old child as Arthur Meyer.

The Pre-Adamite Man’ isa book in which the author endeavors to show that this earth was inhabited more than 100,000 years ago. 8 The party left Toledo at 7:20 last night. The specifiC charge against Mrs. Meyer and her husband is the poisoning by the use of antimony of Gustave Baum in thiscity in February, 1891. THE sTRIKING MINERS. Troubles in Vernon Couraty Supposed t Be About Ended. ) NEVADA, Mo., Aug. 5.—The Vernon County coal mine strike is thought to be ended. The | various mines are running with a full force. The agitators would not be re-employed, but quite a number of the old miners were taken back. This evening or Monday will decide whether the strike isended. Several leaders were circulating the following circular among the miners: NOTICE TO ALL MINERS. You are hereby requested tolay down your tools and suspend work until the grievance is settled be- tweenthe miners and operators of Missouri and Kateas. Deputy Sherif Ewing left this afternoon to visit the different mines where deputies were stationed. In conversation withthe PostT- DISPATCH correspondent he said: ‘*We have reduced the force of deputies to one-half the number andIithink we can discharge the mine ards Monday if no trouble takes place by then. It is reported that quite a numberof union strikers went to work in order to induce the non-union mento join them. The working miners will be protected and every arrangement has been made to that effect.’’ BEADSHAW’'S MURDERERS. The Hearing in the Habess Corpus Pro- credings Ended—Deocisicn Reserved.

Notasingle passenger sustained a fracture ofa bone. The news was immediately telegraphed to Belleville and a wrecking crew sent to the scene of the accident. a The passengers were taken on to Belleville to await the formation of another train. | A close examination of the track failed to reveal the cause of the derailment, as the sures was aoe 8 and the road bed and ks Were intact.

Some of the constables charged with the enforcement of the State dispensary law of South Carolina have had stale eggs cast at them and have been beaten and otherwise maltreated while endeavoring to discharge their duties. Gov. Tillman has provided the constables, therefore, with arms, and has ordered them to shootif necessary to protect themselves from violence and in- dignity. : The Governor is fully warranted in en- forcing the law of the State at all hazards and in protecting law officers from violence while doing their duty. The condtict of citizens of South Carolina who resist the law’s en- forcement is indefensible. The people are responsible for the law and should repeal it. There is a better way of getting rid of it than by violence. But granting the propriety of Gov, Till- man’s action, whata sorry spectacle his enforcement of this law is making of the State of South Carolina! The power of the State is used to protect the State in a mo- nopoly of the liquor business and to keep citizens from engaging in that business and from buying liquor where they please. The State is compelled to suppress the per- sonal liberties of citi2ens and to guard its liquor-selling patent by aspy system and force ofarms. The spectacle is enough to give American citizens a bad turn of polit- ical colic. The people of South Carolina have our intense sympathy in their desire to throw rotten eggs and beat somebody, It is a natural impulse of people who are con- scious that they are being made fools of. But throwing rotten eggs in South Oaro- lina is a wanton waste of energy while the State dispensary law is in the statutes and the Tillman administration exists. Both are such stenches in the Democratic nostril that bad eggs merely add useless super- fluity to an overpowering surplus. — CONTRASTING PICTURES. Bishop Potter preached acharming ser- mon not longago at afashionable watering place. The congregation was composed of the leaders of wealth and fashion. Many lovely and elegantly dressed society women listened with rapt attention to the excel- lent and sweetly modulated admonitions ofthe good bishop. His theme was the duty of the rich and fortunate. He admon- ished those who had wealth, beauty and talents to use their gifts for the good of mankind and the glory of God. In a report of one day’s doings at this same watering-place shortly after there were accounts of a score of costly and lux- urious dinners and entertainments. Of one entertainment it was reported that the house and piazzas were banked with gorgeous flowers. A large marquee was pitched on the grounds and a mass of standing plants formed a floral border to the tent. There was a buffet such as one sees in Paris or London ata similar enter- tainment. The whole fashionable world was present. The day was perfect, and the beauty of the women, the lovely French dresses and the floral display all combined to produce a charming scene.’’ Another was described as the largest and most elaborate entertainment given there this summer. The grounds of the villa were illuminated and the first floor of the house, including the ball-room, was ablaze with light. Asatagrand London dinner, along train of liveried servants awaited the guests atthe entrance. The table was richly decorated with massive silver candelabra and huge vases filled with hydrangias and ferns.’’ These are sam- ples only of the lavish luxury of one day’s enjoyment of the aristocrats of wealth. In the same issue of the paper contain- ing this picture of boundless extravagance were reports of the sufferings of thousands of people thrown into the direst poverty by hard times. These reports told of the closing of workshops and the deprivation of thousands, yes, millions of men, women and children of the means of sub- sistence and of opportunity to earn bread. They told of bitter conditions which make suicides, paupers and criminals. The Bishop’s sermon was doubtless edi- fying and pleasing to the congregation. Many, no doubt, soothed their consciences and sanctified their souls with promises to give more liberally to charity. But the sermon did not prevent them from trying to outstrip each other in the lavishness of entertainment while thousands starved,or awaken in their minds the unpleasant thought of the connection between their surplus wealth and the starvation of others. The Bishop did not trouble them with a suggestion as to the source from which their wealth came or the manner in which it was obtained. He did not ask them flowers, palatial villas, French gowns and costly jewels. He did not discuss the dis- crepancy between what they take and consume of the wealth of the country and what they give to the poor. No bishop’s sermon can change human nature or make charity serve the purposes of Justice. Wealth cannot be entrusted to the favored few for the benefit of the many. The Christian rule of charity, **Go and sell all that thou hast and give to the poor,’’ is no longer held up to pew- holders, But there is another rule which precedes this, Render to every man his just due.’’ The poor may be less in want of charity than of justice, the God-given right to earn by honest toil and to enjoy their earnings. This is the only sure way of modifying the contrast between gluttony and hunger and equalizing the surplus and the deficiency.

Lorpon, Aug. 5.—Within the past few days the various Government organs have been making the announcement, seemingly based upon official authorization, that Parliament will take a recess within six weeks and will resume the session at the end of October. It can be stated that these announcements have no value beyond iIntimating the desire of the ministerialists that before the dissolution the ministers shall carry some of the leading measures that were decided upon at the Lib- eral Conference held last year at Newcastle. The ministerialists believe that at least two of the measures called in the Newcastle pro- gramme should be passed before the dtssolu- tion. These measures are the Parish Coun- cils’ bill and the employers’ liability bill. They hold that forthe Liberal party to pre- gent its resolution for the single achievement of the home rule biil would be to expose it to almost inevitable defeat. S0 if the opposi- tion would accede to a brief adjournment of the House the Government could upon the resumption of the session take up legislation concerning Great Britain. This, however, is exactly a programme which the leaders of the opposition decline to assist in carrying out. uring the past week constant communications have been exchange! between tha Government and the Unionists’ whips, having in view an arrange- ment to shorten the decision of the vote on Supply and the report of the stage of the home rule bill, so as to enable the Govern- ment to turn its attention to the British again. Though the Unionists have been wearied by the long fight they have made against the home rule bill at every stage of Its passage, they refuse to listen tothe Gor- ermnment’s overtures and will continue the struggle. They deciinetoacceptany sort of compromise and are prepared to exhaust every form of practice to check the work of the Government. The Cabinet will hold a meeting on Tuesday, at which the course of the Government will be decided upon. The third stage of the home rule olli will open on Monday. This stage must consume the time of the House for at least three weeks, though the Government should use every possible means of closure, The debate will cover forty-two new clauses and schedules, besides the entire list of amend ments, mostof which will again raise the issues that were settled in committee of the whole. One of the most important of the new propositions isto be made by the Rt. Hon. A. J. Balfour, the Conservative leader in tie House, who will move an amendment to the effect that the Irish membersto be retained in the Imperial Parliament shall have the wer to vote only on motions amendatory of the home rule bill, After the decision, which, as above stated, will occupy three weeks at the very shortest, and the report, the thir! reading of the bill will be taken up. Then the House willl resolve itself into a committee of the whole of sup- ly. Over the question that will come up the opposition can wrangle interminably un- ess the Government risks the danger of es- tablishing a precedent and applies the closure. This method ofshutting off debate has never been applied in committee on supply, and the Government, it 1s said, hesitates about making the precedent. The closing period of the session is likely to be fraught with scenes of the most intense excitement, The Untonists might consent to grant the estimates if the Government would consent to prorogue Parliamentin September to December, but as the prorogation involves the fresh introduction of Government bills when Parliament resumes, wherens an ad ronment enables the llouse totake up bills at the stage they have achieved, \ir. Glad- stone will decline to proroxgue Parliament. Parliament bas been dullall week, not as has been said, because of shame over te free ght, but because the home rule bill has not been up. On Monday the bill comes up again. Mr. Gladstone has won much doubt- ful praise fr hisenemies because he re- fused to allo an investigation into the House of Vo ns row, in which the blame was clearly with the Oonservatives. The Irish members are not in good humor over the lost chance to score a point against the Tories, but public sentiment affirms Mr. Gladsione’s good in quieting, as speedily as posstbie, the Most shameful scene in the House of Commons within the memory of several gener- ations each as long as Mr. Gladstone 's.

Suicide of Hugh Eben Sproule—A Letter for His Sweetheart. New Yorn, Aug. 56.—A week ago Mrs. Townsend, a widow living at 3847 Third ave- nue, rented her parlor toa well-dressed and apparently well educated stranger, who said he had just arrived from Toronto and was expecting to get aposition as hotel clerk. He gave his name as Hugh Eben Sproule. At 8:30 p. m. yesterday, as he had not been seen since the previous day, she became suspicious and forced an entrance into his room. She found him stretched outonthe bed dead. A bottie which had contained laudanum lay onthe floor. A gold watch was ticking on the mantle shelfand a roll of nine one dollar bank notEs lay beside it. On the tat le was a letter, which was in- tended only forthe eyes of the woman to whom it was addressed: Miss Martha Caithals, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Ward ll, Ioronto Insane Asylum.“ Nothing is sacred, however, in theeyes of the police. The seal was broken and its con- tents devoured by a police sergeant before even thearrival of the Coroner. This letter Stated that the suicide was a German by birth, 85 years old, ande tlie victim of an un- happy marriage. He became sSslixhtly de- mented and was confined in the Insane Asy- lum in Toronto. He fell in love with a pretty nurse in the woman’s ward, and when tis condition improved he accepted a position as attendant in the asylum, so that he could be near her. He nad not been dilvorced, how- ever, and the fact that he could not marry her finally caused him to leave Toronto in despair. He came to New York and tried to forget the nurse, but in vain. In his letter he said: ‘‘I cannot live without you or even out of your sight. Martha, for- get and forgive this deed.’’ the Coroner took charge of the body and the asylum authorities were notified. The letter, however, has not been posted, SOUTH SIDE RACES. Schilling Lemded Bengum in Front by a Nose—One Favorite Won.

This — Both Roundly Denounced at Last Night's Silver Meeting. EX-DISTRICT ATTORNEY, BASHAW SPEAKS HARSHLY OF HONEST JOHN. * Chairman Follett Makes Some Very Un- complimentary Remarks About Mis- souri’s Little Senator and His Alleged, Change of Front—Motives of Both Vest and Sherman Impugned, The silver men met in Central Turner Hall last night to receive the reports of the dele- gates sent from this city to the bimetallic convention in Chicago, and to have a general discussion on national finances. J. B. Follett Vice-President of the American Bimetallic League, presidea, and Mr. George Thomp- son acted as secretary. The attendance was not very large and the silverites were dis- appointed at not having more speakers present. C. M. Napton and Robert W. Goode were the only delegates from st. Louis who attended the convention. Both were at the meeting last night and made short speeches. Mr. Napton expressed regret that this city was not better represented in the body. When he went mto the convention hall on Tuesday the only mary from Missour! he saw was Miss Phoebe Cougins. Mr. Goode Came in later. The contest over demonetization of silver resolved itself, the speaker said, into a contest between creditor and debtor, Nine-tenths of the people were in debt and England, which used to legislate for America, was the creditor of the world. Should she still rule Americans in fact? Ihe speaker then argued that to stop the coinage of silver wns to demonetize one halt of the circulating medium of the country and that even though there should be brought to America as a result an equivalent amount of gold we would still lose that part of our wealth represented by $75,000,000 of silver produced by our mines per annum, Advo- cates of a single gold standard deprecated the free coinage of silver because they repre- sented the creditor class. Ther said it would take allthe wold out of the country, because the merchant who bought in Europe would take thither gold because it would buy more. But the English merchant buying here would do the “same thing. The cry that England demonetized silver because it was feared this government was going to repealthe Sherman law was a trap to catch the unwary. ithe step was taken to force the United States to repeal that measure. It should be repealed, but there should be passed a law for the free coinage of silver. The expedient to put more money in the silver dollar was the most insidious attack that had been made on free coinage. ‘Ihe reason the silver ina dollar is worth only 60 cents is because of previous hostile lexisliation. To increase the ratio would be to continue to pursue that in- jurious course. In making his reporton the Chicago con- ven on Mr. Goode said: ‘‘I went there and found nobody with me. There was not a single St. Loulsan there except myself. I never sawa more representative nor more intelligent and dignified body of men in my life, itr-flected honor upon the congention and gave me great pride to be there. want to tell you that jastsosure as we are here there willbea free coinage Dili. It will not be simply the repeal of the sherman law and it WII not be to make the ratio so great that the silver dollar will be ridiculous. Our dollar will not be a cartwheel. The ratio will be 16 to Il. When the next Congress meets there will be an intelligent body of men, and I have talked with many Congress- man and I tell you thereis no chance for eny- thing but free or unlimited coinage. lam in favor of throwing open our mints to the en- tire world. Nobouy can bring silver to this country and dump it upon us here without buying something for it, Do not listen to those who tell you that other coun- tries wlll dump their silveronus. That is all rot. Well, we got along very nicely at Chi- cago. There were many congressmen and senators there, and many more in thecity watching the proceedings and trying to get the drift of sentiment. There were no ob- jections tothe adoption of the resolutions. A unanimity of feeling prevailed and the same sentiment will prevall when Congress meets.“ Judge Bashaw was the next speaker. He sald that the restoration of the American dollar which was demoralized by a legisla- tive trick in 1873 was not a dificult thing. ‘*What harm can come of it? he asked, ‘‘it is nota new thing. It has been tried. We tried it for eighty odd years and we know what we assert when we say we can main- tain our dollar in this country. The time has possed now for making speeches on this subject. This is the time kor work. To demoralize silver is to destroy that much of the wealth ot tis country. We need work to prevent that. Judge Bhashaw arraigned John Sherman as an enemy tosiiver. ie not only took part in the legislative tricketo demonetize it in 18783, he said, but he now gives as an ex- cuse for the law that it was necessary to pre- vent the free coinage of silver. And yet he wili go into the Senate and ask the people to believe that he is honest, and I am sorry to say thatone-half ofthe people will believe ulm as they have always done.“ Chairman Follet urged a continuation of the meeting. Hesaid Senator Vest was go- ing to introduce a bill to increase the ratio. The Senator was either not smart or else it was made more to his interest to be with the ot er side than to bea frienaofsilver, and it was well known that Senator Vest was smart. Speeches were also made by W. F. Smith, Mr. Longand Mr. Linton. The meeting rati- fed the Chicago bimetallic resolutions and platform and adjournea subject to the call of the Chair, 1 FOR REPEAL. GEORGE GCULD Sherman Law Must Be Cut to Restore Confidence s. New YorkK, Aug. 5.—George Gould was a passenger on the American line steamer New York, which arrived at her pier at 9 a. m. to- day. He was accompanied by his wife, Mrs. Edith Kingdon Gould; his sister, Miss Anna Gould; Miss Kingdon, Mrs. Gould’s aunt, ana Mrs. Maughran Carter, Mrs. Gould’s aunt. Mr. Gould was met aboard the New York in the upper bay by a Post-DISPATCH reporter, the only newspaper man who boarded the ship previous to her arrivalatthe foot of Christopher street. There is no place like America after all,’’ said Mr. Gould as he looked toward the Statute of Liberty. A thick mist had been . 2 over the bay during the early morning hours. Ihe sun had begun to peep out and it looked as though there was to a fine day. **Regular New York weather this, he said, Mr. Gou!d inquired anxiously about the pres- ent condition of the money market.

During the voyage across ofthe New York it was decided among the cabin passen«ers to give a concert in the saloon for charity. This occurred ‘Thursday evening and all the Goulds were present. Congressman John C. Tarsney, of Missouri, presided, Miss Anna Gould, who still wears mourning, takes a great interest in charitavle work and was at the of committee appointed to get up the programme, The young women who as- Sisted Miss Gould were Miss Katherine Lovell. Miss Josephine Richardson, Miss Florence Cook and Miss Lilia Vane. At the conclusion of the entertainment a purse of 46 was made up. The proceeds of the en- tertainment were given io the Society for the Kellef of the Destitute Children. of Seamen, Staten Island, N. I., and the Seamen's Or- pha nate, southampton, England. THE COST OF THE EXTRA SESSOo. Won't Be Much, as Expensas Run On, Congress or No Congress. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 6.—The expense incurred by the Government in holding an extra session of Congress will not be large. Just how many thousands of dollars a month it will cost cannot be reckoned with accur- acy, but the entire outlay occasioned by President Cleveland’s proclamation will be comparatively trifling. The expenditures for the supportof the national Legislature goon pretty much the same whether it Is sitting or not. Each Rep- resentative and Senator wets his $416 a month rigut along, whether he isin Washington or not. This moderate remuneration mounts — to a total of $150,000 a month for salaries of members ofthe house and 536, 600 for the Senate. It costs Just as much to run the Capitol be- tween se-sions as when Congress Is sitting. The post-offices of the Senate and House, which require $44,000 a year to keep them in operation, are doing business from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, though, of course the quantity of mall handled is enormously greater while the law-making industry is in full blast. The very barber shops in the two wings—one for the Senate and two for the Hause—are always Open, thougi, in the absence of statesmen . quiring shaves and hair-cuts, a majority of the tonsorlal artists are employed about the great bullding as laborers. ibe Capitol must be keptin order just the same, Whether Congress is assembled or not. Necessary repairs occupy the exciusive at- tention of four plumbers, seven carpenters and haifa dozen painters, as well as a cup- persmiti forthe roof, all the year round. ibe surrounding grounds require the con- stant care of twenty-five gardeners, while an equal number of laborers spend ix days in the week scrubbing the corridors and steps ofthe bullding. ‘inese and other expenses for housexee ping come to $45,000 per anuum., Io this must be aided 839,00 forthe pay of policemen who guard the great edifice. Be- sides these sums, the Senate and House together spend $18,000 a year for furniture and repairs, 838, 000 for fuel and gas, and $32- 500 for wages ef engineers, elevator con- ductors and workmen. Most Of the employes of the House—clerks, doorkeepers, booxkeepers, etc., draw regu- lar Salaries, However, many of the clerks to COMMittees get only $6 for each day of ac- tual work done, It is the same with the Sen- ate. Such an arrangement, which extends to scores of messenyers, pages and laborers, Implies augmented expenses when Congress is in session. . One Of the largest items of expenditure for the eXtra session will be the publication of the Congressional Record. To issue this dally Curonicie of legislative doings costs about $15,00a month. Every thirty days it uses up 35, 000 pounds of paper, and more than 100 Pounds of ink, not to mention half a barrel 2 flour for binding- paste, and an average of Ofteen packs of gold-leaf for the titles and Ornamentation of bound copies. The writing of the Record during the session beginning Aug. 7 will cost nothing extra. Ten men are employed to do all ofthis work at annual salaries of $5,000 each. They are obliged to labor very hard wulle Congress is sitting, but they have long vacations to make up. Ordinarily they have from March 4 to the following December in every other year entirely free, meanwhile drawing their 8116 a month regularly. Butthis year they will be compelled to return to their desks in mid- summer, owing to the President's proclama- tion. It may be safely said that nobody is more disgusted tha’ they at Mr. Cieveland’s summous. However, the chaplain of the House and the chapiain or the Senate, who only receive $900 each per annum, afteinasimilar fix. They must contribute just so many extra prayers for no additional remuneration. It is a great comiort to know that the extraordinary ses- sion will invoive no $quandering of cash for relizious purposes. Congress, while in session, spends about $25,000 a month on the printing of bilis and joint resolutions. Tis may be reckoned as the largest item of expenditure involved b the extraordinary sitting. [ Onthe other hand, quite a sum will b saved on projected Junketing expeditions of special committees Which will have to be given up. CURRENCY AT A PREMIUM. Again, when ) times . . . 8° Offers Made to Retail Dealers in New York City. New Tonk, Aug. 5+-The heads of a num- ber of the largest rejail houses in the city were asked to-day a PostT-DISPATCH re- porter what basis there was for the rumor current for several Mays that some of the retailers were selling their daily cash re- ceipts of currency aſa premium. At Ehrich Bros’., Samuel Ehriq of the firm said: We have been offered as/high as $20 premium for $1,000 of currency.

The fixed rates are as follows: For day messages not containing more than twenty words, exclusive of place from and date, 20 cents, not exceeding 1,000 miles, a lcent for each additional word, ne- qua rot this rate to be added for each 500 miles or fraction thereof, but no rate on a message of twenty words to be more tian 40 cents, nor on an additional word more than 2 cents.

The cholera has been far worse in the little towns im the south of France than was reported and it has also been epidemic in Marseilles. The people of Marseilles went a step fur- therthan the French Government and did what the Government might have expected. They concealed their epitemic from the Government officials, doctored their reports of sickness and deaths and posed asa re- markable example of the eccentricity of the Cholera scourge which had stalked through every district and village in that section yet had not visited the great dirty city, whose wharves were lined with vessels from the Orient. France's death returns and health ’ gtatistics had been gaining credence for some : , but the disclosure about Marseilles is the Onishing blow. Noone knows what to think. Perhaps the current impression as to the extent of cholera in France is more gioomy than the actual truth warrants.

MAY THOEBN’S DEATH. Friends Say the Actress Did Not Commit Suicide. New YorK, May 5.—May B. Thorn, also known as Grace Kensington, the actress, who died of morphine poisoning Thursday, will be buried in San Francisco. Her father has given the necessary directions and her body will be sent west at once. The mystery as to her motive for committing suicide is not cleared up. Edwin Pratt, a lawyer of the operatic and dramatic exchange, 1180 Broadway, does not think the young woman committed suicide, but at- | tributes her death to an overdose of mor- | phine. Hesays: *‘Last Thursday, the day she destroyed herself, I wrote asking her to see me, I received this reply, written a few hours before she died: ‘My Dear Friend—You must have thought me most remiss, but the day after 1 left you was thrown from a carriage and quite seriousiy hurt, being unconscious fror two days. Although no dones were broken Jam asymphonv of brulses, and have two lovely Diack eyes, so forglre me. Ishall be in to see you to-morrow. Excuse the looks = this but lam still very nervous from the shock.’ That letter leads me to believe that she did not commit suicide but accidentally took — overdose of morphine to relieve her palin.

The speed at that point is twenty miles an hour, Brake - man Comstock and several passengers who saw the woman Ik off the car in such a strange manner thought she must have been killed by the fall. Comstock signalled the train toa standstill and ran back expect- ing to find a eorpse beside the rails... He found instead a woman much frightened and wide awake lying on top ofa big bundle of clothing, with her bag- cage underneath her, having landed on the broken stone and cinder dallast. The woman had not recetved a scratch, There was only a biack smudge on her forehead, She was taken aboard the train again, where she said she was Mrs. Eitzabeth Barnett, a widow, she lives with her brother, the keep- er of a restaurant in Brooklyn. She is 58 years old. She had been asleep, it is supposed, and waking at the entrance of the tunnel supposed she was at the end of her journey.

A Humboldt County Woodsman Has an Exciting Experience. * From the Eureka Standare. James Steel met with an unusual experi- ence in the woods recently which he wlll not forget for many a day. He, with Henry Shields and Charles Johnson. were brushing out trallsabout six miles back of Freshwater Depot. They had left their lunch and an ax behind on thetrail and Steel went back for them. He picked up the ax and stepped be- hind a clump of bushes for the lunch basket. He paid no particular attention to the sur- roundings as he whistled 'The Giri Il Left Behind Me,“ but as he stepped behind the bushes for the lunch basket the whistle stopped. There were three large brown bears there. They had just finished the unch, which seemed but to sharpen their appetites for a more substantial meal. Steel comprehended the situation and at once stepped hack, regretting that he Wad dis- tur the bruins. ‘hey did not pose to let him off so easily, however. here were ee 928 and one man, and the former ungry for gore.

The ‘‘revolutionsétte,’’ as the recent disturbances have been christened, has scared away all the strangers and the hotels are empty. Public feeling ran so high against the Prefect of Police for allowing the police to proceed to such extremities that he resigned, and the new Prefect, M. Lepine, is man who was formerly second in com- mand at the Prefecture of Police, M. Lose, the former prefect, earned the undying hatred of the Parisians during his incumbency by formulating the edict that all dogs found in the streets unmuzzied should be taken tothe pound and killed. The city was instantly filled with walling, for many people did not know of the existence of the edict till their pets were gone. Eight thou- sand dogs were sacrificed in this canine massacre, and Paris, which is famed for be- ing the paradise of dogs and the hell of horses, raved over the untimely end of 3% many of these favorite animals. However,as nothing restores de- funct puppies tothe blessed light of day, the Parisians recovered from their indigna- tion and proceeded to poke fun at the slayer of their pets who was promptly bap- tiged the caninicide and always was spoken ot as such, while the remaining dogs of Paris were carefully tied up or mugzied in obedience to the law. It remains to be seen if the new Prefect will release the canine necks and noses from the captivity to which they are at present consigned. — — The leading event of the wees has been the burial of poor Guy de Maupassant, who died inthe mad-house where he has been con- fined for two years past.

This in- Sanity was caused by the excessive use of | ether and of opium. Ether is A well-krown intoxicant, and the press is beginning to sound the note of alarm concerning it, as Qe Maupassant’s sad fate has brought to | Ugut the dismal fact that the younger sohool of literary men is greatly addicted to the samo practices. It seems that the **haschisch’’ or preparation of In- dian hemp, mingled with jam to dis- guise the bitterness of its taste, — up to the present time, the best stimulant ofthe brain it eventually wrecks. Its effect, of course, differs according to the individual- ity of the subject. The person who imbibes the dose of haschisch falls into a long dream, with occasional lucid intervals. Itis more than suspected that certain young authors whose imaginations seem to have run per- fectiy mad, and who publish tales that are marvelous in conception and in- coherence and seem like embodied night- mares, simply take a dose of Indlan hemp and then write down the visions that come to them in their trance. This, however, was not thecase with Maupassant, whose best work was done before he acquired the dreadful habit. A law suit which is now pending illustrates forcibly the law's delays in this country, and also the Gangers of Frenchelevators. Seven years ago (in June, 1886.) a servant named Octavie Garnier, Who was employed by the concierge ofa house in the Rue — entered the elevator to go up to her room. No sooner had shesetitin motion than it shot up tothe fifth floor and then fell with a crash tothe ground. However, it was stationary tor an instant atthe top of the house, and the maid saved her life by jumping out on the landing. Unfortunately her foot was caught between the falling elevator and the floorandevery bone in it was broken, and although it was carefully and skillfully treated by the best doctorsin Paris, the foot has stiffened and the poor giri is acripple for life. Of course, this being the case, Octavie waats damages for her in- ury, and claims a sum of $5,000. he matter was inquired into, and it was found that the accident was caused by the | fact that the city had been making some changes onthe Place Waxsram, which naa necessitated cutting off the water supply from several pipes, and amongst others the | pipe that supplied this particular elevator, | and the compressed air, when the water was turned on again, caused the elevator to go through these gyrations, Octavie sued the builder, who had grdered the water to be cat om; he proved it was done under orders from the city, so he was acquitted. She then sued the city, which replied loftily that the order was given by the Government, and the civil courts could not pronounce a ver- dict, as it was out of their jurisdiction. The civil courts acknowledged the justice of the objection, and Octavie carried her sad story before the Prefecture, who, afterdue dellb- eration exonerated the city from all blame. It was the business of the owner of the house to take due precautions when the water was turned of, and moreover the constructor of the clevator ought to have 60 arranged his machinery as not to allow the admission of airto affect it. So Octavie turned her batteries upon the owners of the | house, which, in this case is a syndicate. The syndicate throws the responsibility on | ö . § > 4 * 77 7 M. Hdoux, the contractor of the elevator. M. Edoux in turn attaches the corporation of | water supply, and they bravely, once more, sue the city itself, Anything more compli. | cated has never been heard ef, even in this country of legal complications, but | the fact remains that poor Octavie has waited seven years to find out who Is respon. sible for her injury, and from the present deadlock it looks probable that she will wait seven years more before she receives the compensation to which every one acknow!l- edges that she is entitled, but which nobody chooses to pay. * Advices from London report that the nation in general is tremendously shocked y the fact that the Duke and Duchess of York chose to spend their honeymoon at Sandringham, the very place where the poor Duke of Clarence died sO shorta time ago. The choice was cer- tatniy a singular one. It is also said that Prince George is far from well, havingnever fully recovered from his attack of hoid fever. His delicate health has reviy the interest in the prediction, made by a famous + e teller, that neither the Prince ales nor either of his two wonla live to ait on the throne o England.

UNCLE GHARLESA RECORD SREAKER As 2 A CLINGER TO LIFE. — ° An Passed Three Soore and Ten Save Those Who Would Not Regard the Laws of Nature—A Texas Uncle Killed at 84 in a Railroad Accident—Grover’s chendes Good. Special Correspondence SUNDAY POST-DISPATOH. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 8,—It has been a boast of President Clevelana’s family that they are a long-lived people, and in many re- spects this boast appears to have been well founded. Mr, Cleveland himself at 50 might have well believed that, barring a public monetary crisis, and the over-zealous de- mands of office seekers, he would beat the record of bis great-uncle Charles and become a distinguished centenarian. If in the past year he has felt his strength give way, an has been alarmed by the solicitude of his friends, it will do him good to read over this brief history of his family and study the causes, apparent or conjectured, that short · ened useful lives or conduced to serene old age. The great ancestor of the Cleveland family was Sir Guy Cleveland,a jolly old English- man, who commanded a company of spear- men at the battle of Potetiers,and by his bravery came into high favor with the crown. Sir Guy lived to an ald age. His profession was that of a soldier, which involved a great deal of salutary, outdoor exercise, and kept Sir Guy’s physical organization in a whole- some glow. After his fighting days were over Sir Guy retired to his estates and devoted himself to hunting and fishing, transmitting the fondness for these amiable sports in nat- wral inheritance. Sir Guy was indeed an ideal founder of a family. His descendant, Moses Cleveland, came to America in the early colonial times and settied in New En- gland. It is from him that all the American branches are descended. In point of present interest, however, the family begins with the Rev. Aaron Cleveland, the son of Moses Cleveland. Early in life Aaron removed from Medford to Connecticut and entered the ministry at Haddam in 1788. About this time he married Susanna Porter, a great beauty of her day, by whom he had ten children. At this period the preaching of Whitfield had so interested Mr. Cleveland that he was accused of departing from Cal- vintsm; 80 in 1747 he gave up his charge and went back to Medford. Thence he removed to Halifax and from Nova Scotia he went to England. He returned to America and be- came rector of a church in New Castle, Del. His health, which had never been good, gave way, and he was forced to go to Philadelphia for medical treatment. As an intimate friend of Dr. Benjamin Franklin, he went immediately to his house, dying there in 1757 at the age of 36 years. Aaron Cleveland, Second, was born in East Haddam in 1744. He went to Norwich a few years before the outbreak of the Revolution and took an active partin the affairs of the community. As a freligious exhorter, a lecturer and a writer, he exertel powerful influence. One badge of honor for him was the warfare he waged against slavery, both with tongue and pen. He was the earliest“ known anti-slavery man in the State of Con- necticut, and in 1779, having been elected for that parpose, he introduced a bill into the Legislature to abolish the evil. Soon ‘after he rounded out his career by becoming a minister in the Congregational Church, and died at New Haven in 1815. Aaron Cleveland | lived to be 7l years of age, and was remark- ably vigorous throughout his life, in direct }. contrast with the infirmities of his father. William Cleveland, ason of Aaron Cleve- land, led a placid, contented, honorable life in Norwich, Conn. His business was that of a silversmith and watchand clock maker. He was of slender build and medium deight. one of the wiry kind of men, who seem to be proot against fatigue and disease. In ac- cordance with thecustomof his family, he was a zealous member of the church, and was a deacon for many years. He also lived toa good old age, dying in August, 1887. Richard Fally Cieveland, the son of Will- lam Cleveland and the father of Grover Cleveland, resembled in many important respects his grandfather, Aaron. He wasa man of superior ability and stern piety, but he was never Lay A strong and undertook more work than his physique could stand, Hie became pastor of the Caldwell Ohurch, in Essex County, N. J., in 1834. The labors of the mind and spirit were too much for the body and Mr. Oleveland died in his 48th year. This then is the record of four generations from Aaron Cleveland, the elder, to Richard Cleveland. Twoof the four examples in di- rect descent became sturdy old men. All lived active lives. It is a notable fact that the two, Aaron, the elder, and Richard, who died comparatively young, were constitu- tionally feeble, and lived at ali times beyond their strength. Moreover, they were com- pelled to struggle against poverty and had neither the means nor the inclination to take the rest and the relaxation which nature de- manded. Had they been less conscientious and attentive to the exaction of duty,as they understood it, they might have butit up their exhausted systems and prolonged their lives. In Aaron and Richard may be detected that bulldog pertinacity and desire for work which has descended to the President, character- istics scarcely less pronounced in William and Aaron Cleveland, the second, though with less deplorable results. It is not right toclaimtbat active mental work was in It- self destructive, for both Aaron, the younger, and William were leaders of — in the community, and both were long-lived and vigorous. It was to their ad- vantage thatthey had good physique and properly guarded their strength. Ihe claim tolongevity résts more promi. nently with other branchesof the family than that of President Oleveland. The Presi- dent has relatives in Clermont County, O., who have preserved the family records more carefully than the Eastern branch, and have shown thatthe Clevelands have been noted in various lines, Jeremiah Cleveland was the brother of William Cleveland. He went to Clermont County in 1815 and was joined by his brothers, Stephen and Francis. Travel, however, aid not appear to agree with Jere. miah, for, shortiy after he set up tue busi- ness of clock and cabinet making. He died at — age of 32, leaving two sons, Frank and Arlan, Presley Cleveland was another son of the Rev. Aaron Cleveland. He had nine chi- dren, one of whom, Oharles, who died in 1672, lived to be witiin nineteen days of 100 years of age. A second son went to Texas in the old Spanish times and revisited his father when 78 years ola. He remarked facetiously 4 that where he lived no one died a natural death, but the population was kept down by fatalities. Strangely enough, he returned to his home, lived to 64 years old and was killed in a raliroad accident. Abigail Cleve- land, the President's aunt, married the Rey. Samuel Hanson Cox, and her ‘son is Bishop Arthur Oox. She lived to an advanced age. Her sister Susan, Who married a Mr. Pratt, reached the age of 85. Other branches of the family show that the Cleveland inheritance Is likely to be that ofa hale and hearty old age, and that, except in the cases of unforeseen calamity, as evi- dGenced in the President's own family, the the chances in the way of heredity are fa‘vor- able to the President. He has on 7 to accept the warning Conveyed by the early deaths of bis father and great-great-grandfather to husband his strength and pay regard to the laws of nature. The Clevelands from colonial times have been hard workers, but hard work does not necessarily kill, as the records of our industrious ancestors constantly show. Izaak Walton, who will be unhesitatingly ac- ann Mr. Cleveland as the very best authority, said nearly three donturies go: **Health is the second dlessing that we mor- tals are capable of,a blessing that mon not bur; and added; All that are 10. | virtue, be quiet and goa ‘angie. 55 Isaak, by the way, lived to be 90 years old. towns and oe ed * + we Ane Steamer.

In good time she landed at Cairo. She dis- charged some cargo and began to take on board different articles consisting of corn, hogs, chickens, turkeys and geese. Her roof was covered with coops of poultry. Whole deer were hung along the boller deck. To a stacheon in the middie of the boiler deck was chained a pet biack bear. He was guite an object of curiosity to passengers, and very gentle and kindly disposed. A short time after the boat had landed there came on board a tall, lank, red-hbeadéd lad about 19 years old and about six feet tall. His hair was coarse and very red; skin and covered with large freckles. to look at be was not a beartiful boy. He was directed to the clerk’s office and told the clerk he wanted to go to Uncle Jaker, ten miles from New Madrid. He paid his fare and be- gan looking and watching. Two things at - tracted his attention most—one was the bear, the other the mate. The mate had a splendid voice for his sition. The crew could hear him whisper from one end of the boattothe other. His voice was melodious and at the same time loud. He was not par- ticular in the choice of adjectives used to the roustaboats. The country boy had stationed himseif at the head of the stairs from the boiler deck to the lower deck, so he could see the mate and hear at the same time. While intentiy watch- ing his two mortal enemies a cabin boy came to the hall door and announced supper by ringing a Chinese gong. At the first sound **Greeny’’ broke for shore. As he ran across the deck one of the men caught him, saw ter- ror in his face and asked him what was the matter. His reply was: Mister, has she busted?’’ His fears were quieted and he went to sup- per. Soon after the boa geft and proceeded agown the river. She made one or two land- ings and then landed at Hickman. The country lad had deen assigned a room and went to bed to make his own dreams and was soon wees The boat steamed down a few miles and landed to take on some hogsheads of tobacco. The mate ordered the boat’s yawl brought forward for some purpose and told the men to make the painter fast to thecavil and then began to take on the tobacco. When most of the tobacco was aboard, ‘‘Greeny’’ awoke. Thefirst thing he heard was the mate’s loud voice saying: ear +a tm . one. Stand him on his head, Cut him! Cut him again! That will do.

He thought they were murdering all the pas- sengers and he determined he would ma ke one effort for his life; he cautiously open ed the door. About this time the mate had ordered two men into the yawl to drop it astern. The lad was tip-toeing it towards the dotler deck, when he heard a voice be- hind him saying.

There is a postal card society of America which has already a hundred members. It seems almost incredible that there shoffid be 8,000 varieties of postal Cards, but this is the extent claimed for the Watson collection. These, however, include various issues of the same nation and denomination, and also cards issued for special occasions. Postal cards have been in Grculation a little less than twenty-four yeafs. The idea originated with Dr. Emanuel H@mann, a professor of national ecomomy at the Imperial Academy of Wiener, in Nedstat, Lower Austria. His ideas, under thehead of New Means of Correspondence by Post,’’ were published and attracted the attention of the. Govern: ment officials. Ih Director-G ral of Posts took up the idea and suceeded in. having an issue of 94405 cards put in eireu- lation in 1869. The ofiginal name given to them was the ‘*Correspondence Carte, and this has been retainedever since. This new move on the part of Austria quickly excited other countria to adopt a similar method of correspondenée, and before the close of 1870 nearly all the European Countries were using cards. Germany wes really the second country to use them, anda special series was issued to the soldiers etgaged in the Franco-German war. ,e80 Vere Called the fleld post corre- spondence ¢afis, and were sold unstamped to the soldiersat the rate of about five for a cent. The sofiers had the privilege of using them withoutpaying postage. Another series was issued forcivilians.

SHE WAS A PRIRCESS AND MIGHT HAVE BEEN AN EMPRESS. Yet She Lives Well and Entertains Grandiy Her Guests From Paris and Draws About Her Brilliant Men Her Country Home. Special Correspondence SUNDAY Fosr-Disr Aren. Pants, July 24.—All Parisian society has by this time fled tothe shades of the country, and the little court which is the last faint reflection of the glories of the Second Empire is installed in its miniature Compiegne. I refer to the country home of the Princess Mathilde, the last of the Bonapartes who keeps up anything like royal state and who shapes her life at her villa, Saint Gratien, on the lines that used to govern the Imper Court at Compiegne or St. Cloud. The Prin- cess remained in Paris later than usual this season, Owing to the presence of the Duchess d“ Aosta, the Princess Letitia, her niece, who since the death of her uncle-hus- band spends much time in Paris with her aunt, so instead of going to Saint Gratien as is her wont in May, the Princess did not install herself there until the end of June, Itisa most charming spot, this home of the woman who might have been Empress of the French, if the blonde beauty of Eugenie had not induced the Emperor to break off the negotiations for his cousin’s hand to espouse in her stead the woman who was to be the evil genius of his dynasty, for every false step made by Napoleon III. was influenced by the Empress. It is rather idle to speculate over what might have been, but had the Princess Ma- thilde shared her cousin’s throne, the Em. pire might not have ended so disastrously. As it was, she married Prince Demidoff, was very unhappy, left her husband, and after living the not very rigidly moral life peculiar to the women of the Bonaparte family, she suddenly took the world by surprise by her morganatic marriage toa young architect, who at present has faded from the horizon. The Ohateau ot St. Gratlen is beautifully situated ona height overlooking the lake of Enghien, and with the cool green deptus of the forest of Montmorenci as a norama before it. The chateau was bullt the Count de Lucay, oneof the chamber- lains of Napoleon I, but the Frincess has greatly improved and embellished it. Saint Gratien isa square building, three- stories high. and surmounted by a mansard roof. A large marquise shelters the entrance, and forms a dome of ver- ure, it is entirely concealed or rather covered by creeper. Passing the vestibule we reach the large drawing-room into which it opens. Like all the other reception - rooms, it ishung with sea - green chintz, flowered with multi- colored tulips. The ceiling is covered with the same material, and the corners are cut off so as to give the room the appearance of atent, The furniture is the Louls XVI style, mahogany and bronze, and.the room is crowded with costly bric-a-brac of all descriptions. This apartment, however, is rarely used, except in the autumn During the warm weather the guests prefer the veranda,on which the drawing-room opens, and which has been added to the original bulidin by the Princess. This veranda is certainly a most charming place; it seems a cross between a udoir and a conservatory, and is crowded with beautiful ornaments and exquisite fowers. A wide flight of steps, guarded by two bronze eagles, leads down intothe park. On the right of the drawing-room is the music-room, on the left the bilMard room, and the two wings of the chanteau are occupied re- 7 by the dining - room and the studio ofthe Princess. Sheisan extremely clever artist and oth her painting and her sculpture are far above the average work of evena talented, amateur. The studio isa bewildering agglomeration of rare stuf, an- tique furniture and artistic bric-a-brace. As is the case with the veranda, a flight of steps leads to — Fever and here, under the shade of a magnificent acacia, the guests are wont to sit on cushions of red morocco laid upon the steps. + The principal staircase is at th e end of the vestibule, and on thefirst landing isa huge mirror, most exquisitely painted by Eugene Guiraud, with a series of figures in Louis XVI. and Directoire costumes, that. represent the seven capital sins. On the first floor is the private department of the Princess, consisting of an\ante-room, a . and an immense bed room flooded with Ught from four large winsess, which open on a terrace formed by the flat roof of the studio, which terrace 16 an absolute hanging garden with great — yt vases for making vlvla spots of blue amid the surrounding verdure. n this floor also is the apartment of Prince Louis, the favorite nephew of the Princess, whom she regards almost as a son. On the floor above are the eight guest chambers, which are al- ways occupied by constantly changing guests. The Life at St. Gratien is extremely regular, Every day atillo’clock the Princess comes down ＋ breakfast, having arisen early, and according to the custom in France for a hostess, transacted all the business of the day before meeting her ests. Every day people come from Paris for breakfast, and an omnibus with coachman and footman in the imperial livery meets thetrain and transports the guests to the chateau. After breakfast comes a walkin the grounds, and then every one proceeds to their favorite occupations. The Princess is an attractive woman in spite of her years, and tolerates no drones in ber = rustic hive. At 4 o’clock comes a walk to the farm and to feed the chickens in their poultry yard. At6o’clock the guests return to the house to welcome those invited to dinner, to hear the latest news from Paris and then to scatter at the sound of the dress- ing bell. Half an hour later all meet ino the dining-room, the men in full evening dress, the ladies in half evening toflet. The even- ing is spent in pleasant chat, for the most brilliant of the literary men of France cluster around this hospitable hostess, and at 10 Lo’clock, when the omnibus is announced to take the guests to the station, the evening has seemed all too short. To our American ideas it would seem that this country seat of a princess is hardly far enough distant from Paris to afford a needed change of air forthe summer season, for Montmorenci, famed in the annals of the French grisettes and students for its cherries and its donkey rides, is little more than a half hour’s distance from the capital. Bat. like all true Parisians, the Princess Mathude does not like to go far away from her beloved city, and the proximity of St. Gratien to Paris enables her to indulgeia that constant e 8 nos - pitality fa which her soul delights. She was always noted as ing the most brilliant hostess among the ladies of the Second Em- ‘pire, and though she fs old and the Bona - partes are in their decadence, she still main- tains ber reputation for entertaining and for drawing around her many of the best known literary men of France. To sure she has uarreled with a many of them for their antagonistic attitude toward the mem- ory of Napoleon the Great. Such was the case with Taine.

Dan Slattery, a Far Rockaway Swimmer, Talks Abcut His Profession. Special Correspondence SUNDAY POST-DISPATOCH. Far Rockaway, Aug. 2.—The men at the seaside bathing places who bring drowning people out of the water, never speak of themselves as life-savers. They call them- selves swimmers. One would natural think that they would be proud of the title which is justly theirs, and would want to use it. But these life-savers are modest men always. You see they are brave men, men who have an abiding oct Sow Sanaen and yet who never know what personal fear is. When the work performed by a lifesaver, the dangers and insult to which he is posed are placed in one the amount of wages he receives Is pla in the other, his compensation see ridicu small, The est wages are paid along the Jarse coast, which is the most 88 about New York. About Long Branch and A from $50 to $60 a from $40 to $50 a id the life-saver. Along the shore beyond Coney Island the average is $50 a month fora fi class man, The life-savers areexpected to go on duty about 7 o’clock in the morning and they are not at liberty to leave the beach until 7 o’clock at night. They must pay all their own expenses, sometimes they are req even to furnish their own bat suit, Dan Slattery is a life-saver at one of the bathing beaches of Far Rockaway. He has been in the business for ten or twelve years. Like all the really or men, Slattery is ex- tremely modest. o has worked on all the beaches from Fire Island to Atiantic City. He is 38 years old and is therefore an old : All the life-savers are young men. What becomes of the life-savers?’’ Slat- tery was asked. ; They get drowned,’’ he replied simply. In theory, a life-saver is not expected to take too much risk himself. If he finds he cannot save a man whom he goes after and is himself in danger, he is expected to save himself, In practice, the life-saver must Dring in the person he goes after or drown with him. If he puts the theory to practical operation, he might as well make aR his mind to get out of the business. He will find it almost impossible to geta job. And that is the reason why so many oF the Ilife-savers are drowned. There are thousands of men looking for a 2 as swimmers,’’ said Slattery, as he was yingon the sand keeping a sharp lookout upon the bathers, ‘‘but there are mighty few who are any g. „ To make a good swim- mer, said Slattery, *‘a man must in the first place take to the water naturally. A man must never know what it is to get scared, de- cause if he begins to get afraid he will lose his head, and then he’s worse than useless. Ren a person’s drowning you've got to get there as quick as you can, and then you've got to know how to handle him after you get there. Slattery stood = and motioned to an ath- letic young man who had been parading the beach, and who was then showing how well he could swim. Those are the fellows who give us all the trouble. he explained. If there were no good swimmers we fellows wouldn’t have anything to do, dy only the good swimmers who get drowned. The others keep inside the life lines and are safe. The good swim- mers go out so far that it is hard to get to them when they have a cramp or get tired.’’ It is always best to go out witha life- Ine, Slattery went on. Lou can always get them in easier then. When a swimmer first goes to a beach he starts in by studying the currents and undertow. When he seesa man go down the swimmer doesn’t start for the place where he sawthe man go down. He probably makes for a point twenty-five feetaway. When he comes up theswimmer isright there. Then comes the hard part. When persons are drowning they haven't any sense. The first thing they do is to grab you around the neck. We tell them what to do, but they won't listen. We generally try to swim around them and get hold ofthe neck of their bathing-suit at the back. If we can get them there or by the shoulder or by the waist, it is a good hold. „If the person behaves himself then he’s all right. We can get in without any trouble. But if ne keeps on fighting us it gets to be pretty bad work. Ifaman’s gota beard or mustache we’ll usually give it a tug. That distracts his attention and the swimmer can get free. Thenifhetries to grab you again there Is nothing left but to hit him. I don’t believe that there isaswimmer living who doesn’t hate to hit aman inthe water, and yet we have to doit pretty often. It’s a good deal of a trick, too. The swimmer has to raise himself in the water and plant a blow where it will do the best good. It is aston- ishing how easy it is to save a man after you have knocked him senseless. Now, women are better than men. They make a lot more fuss at rst, but they seem to come to their senses quicker. If youtella woman you will smash her if she doesn’t do as you want her to, and you make a motion as if you were going to carry out your threat that is usually sufficient.’’ 0 rae do swimmers usually get for saving a 1 0 * 3 Usualty they get blackguarded. Half the people whom you save from drowning will stand on the sand and roast you until they can’t speak any more. Occasionally they will thank you. Upon very rare occasions they may give you something.’’ It is astonishing, as any one will learn who talks much with the life-savers and others who work on the beach, how few people re- ward them. The red letter season in Dan Slattery’s career was at Atlantic City, where he receive. in gratuities in three months. It was that season that he saved Miss Annie Drexel of Philadelphia from drownin 5 She gave him a diamond pin worth $100 aud two brand-new $50 notes. 0 $675 is four times as much as Slattery ever made in one season before or since. Another thing that you will be convinced of is that the life-saver is not looking for money from those whom he takes out of the, water. What he does look for are a few sin- cere words of thanks, He thinks he is enti- tled toa little gratitude. More often life- savers have an experieece similar to Dan Siattery’s 103d rescue. He took the man out of the water after a long, hard fight, during which he was drawn down three times him- self. At last he was compelled to use his fists. It happened that two blows bDiackened both eyes. hen both men were out of the water they were too much exhausted to talk much. hen the bather recove 3 ficiently he wanted to beat Slattery with a club, e was restrained. n went to Justice Smith, in the village, and to et a warrant for Slattery arrest.

A Correspondent Thinks the Proposed Fund a Comic Opera Episode.

He proposes a plan to get over the squeamishness of the haughty aristocrat. This plan is to raise a fund of $800,000 for a statue to Columbus. The statue will actually cost only $50,000. The balance is to be paid over tothe Duke as the lineal representative of the great navigator.

Bates Bardwell, the girl’s twin brother, early yesterday morning and visited Mrs. | Murray with whom he had procured a suit- | able room for the lady. He paid Undertaker | Mooney and the proprietor of the United | Ooroner’s office and made a sworn state- ment. In this he salad Miss Bardwell left Boston two years ago had heard from her and seen her at short intervals, Their last interview was on July 22at the Adams House, Boston. When a telegram quoting Joseph Bardwell in Boston as saying Mrs. Murray was a clair- voyant who has hypnotised his sister and so secured a remembrance in her will was shown to Mrs. Murray last night, she became indignant. Miss Bardwell had told her she said that in the winter of 1889, while living with her Aunt Angell and studying music and typewriting ina Boston acedemy, she made the acquaintance ofan attractive mida- dje-aged man with whom she became infat- uated. and LEARNED TO LOVE A THIEF. She spent many hours in his company when her family thought her at school. The fol- lowing summer she went to a farm- house at Hubbardstown, Mass., to spend her vacation and the man followed her, when they re- turned to Brooklyn. There they continued to meet and Bates Bardwell finally learned of their intimacy, He confronted her with his knowledge andthe girl left home and came tothis city, where she wassoon joined by the man. Bates soon heard of this, came here and took her home, Again she left and coming here boarded with a Mrs. Trowbridge at No. 212 West Thirty-fourth street and later with Mrs. Millle Richmond in a flat at No. 118 West Sixty-second street. In the meantime her brothers had discovered thatthe man with whom she was infatuated was a thief known as Taylorand Huntingdon. They came here and consulted Joseph Moss of the law firm of Howe 4 Hummel! and wished to have the man arrested on the charge of abduction. Wiss Bardwell would not appear as com- plainant and no action could be taken. ‘rs. Murray says the girl had no income at this time and her brother Bates was very kind to her, frequently sending her money. In May, 1891, Bates brought his sister to Mrs. Murray’s home in Win distress, and promised to pay for her board and care. Mrs. Murray says “Miss Bardwell left hen house four different times between her first arrival and the day of her death. She believes the girl communicated with Taylor up tothe day of her deatn. She says Miss Bardwell had 75 when she left her last Tuesday afternoon and the Coroner found only $1.95 in her pocket-book after her suicide. PLOTTED SUICIDE WEEKS BACK. Mrs. Murray found another letter yester- day, which she says was written by Miss Bardwell. Its contents are as follows: July 16, 1893. DEAR Mrs MURRAY—I write this ‘to tell you as 1 any dispute that may arise after my death. I have peculiar sinking feelings and dread heart In such a case] want it distiactly under- stand. As regards my leg bave never told what 1 did with it. 1 have remembered you in my will, which wi'l is in the bands of my attorney, Winthroo Wade, No State street, Boston. This remembrance 10 but a just payment of the services yOu rendered mein my sickness, which bill was never paid, aud in grateful remembrance of which I wish to make you the bene- feiary. Ican never repay you for your loss of health and anxious hours, for money cannot cover such services, but as far as lam able I wish you to receive your justreward. I have left no wardrobe except the ciothes on my back and no trunk at your house. I have told Mr. Wade to protect your rights and I refer youto him for ail setilements. Yours Sin- cerely, MARIA BAEDWELL. If this letter is authentic it shows Miss Bardwell meditated suitide as earlyas July 16. Lawyer Moss last evening corroborateé the principal details of Mrs. Murray’s story. „remember. he said, the visit ofthe Bardwell brothers to our office. It was about two years ago. They said their sister was living here under the influence of a thief who had formed her acgnaintance in the street. They said she had come to this city from Boston at his suggestion. They were very anxious to have her taken away from the man and to have him pun- ished.’’ „Was the thief’s name Huntington or Taylor?’’ cannot remember the name they told me, said Mr. Moss, but I know the Bardwells said he was an old crook, at least 50 Or SS years old. Wen they told me the girl’s age, 2 years, as I recall it now, told them that the law would not punish the man unless Miss Bardwell should appear against him as com- plaining witness. They said this was out of the question, because she was under the thief’s control. MRS. MURRAY DISAPPEARS. Mrs. Murray, who was the last person to speak with Miss Maria Barawell, disap- peared from 258 Eighth avenue, her house, to-day, and was supposed to have gone to the seashore, without leaving any address.

Result( of a Becent Quarrel Between Beary Schlichte and His Son. THE YOUNG MAN MADE AFFIDAVIT TO HIS FATHER’S INSANITY. The Commissioners cf Charities Immedi- ately Whisked the Old Gentleman Off to the Flatbush Asylum-—A Medical Examination, However, Established His Sanity and He Was Released. New Tonk, Aug. 6.— Henry Schlichte, pro- prietor of the Maurer Hotel, Brooklyn, had a quarrel recently with his son, Henry Schlichte, Jr., 19 years old. The youth went to the Commissioners of Charities office and swore his father appeared to be insane. Without any medical examination or further testimony the hotel-keeper was whisked off to the Flatbush Insane Asylum last Wednes- day morning, and was kept there until a lawyer procured his release Thursday after- noon. „ Mr. schlichte was behind his own dar last night. Me said: ‘*Policeman Boryhard of the Greenpoint Avenue Station drove up to my door in a coach Wednesday morning and told me I was Wanted at the police station. Not knowing ‘what I was wanted for, I got into the coach and went to the station. I was then told I would have to goto Flatbush to be examined as to my mental condition. I was amazed, but being under arrest I submitted, although I saw no order for my arrest. I was taken to the asylum and after a time two doctors exam- ined me aud I was found to de all right, but when I started to leave the place I was told I would have to remain until an order for my release came from the Com- missioners of Charities. My wateh and money were taken from me and I was locked wp forthe night. The next day, Thursday, I saw no indication of an order for my re- lease coming, andI sent a telegram to Law- yer William A.Guch, who applied to the Charities Commissioners for my release. I was taken to the office of the Commissioners, Where I was again examined and late in the afternoon I was told I could go. When lwas taken to the asylum my son took charge of my business. He disappeared when he heard 1 was to be released. A reporter called at the office of the Charities Commissioners and asked to see the afMidavit upon which Schlichte was taken to the Insane Asylum. Aclerk, who declined to give his name, said an order was given to relatives of Schlichte to have the alleged lunatic taken to the Flatbush Hospital for exarnination. „Did the two physicians testify that he was insane, as required by law?’’ No, we did not order the man to be sent to the Insane Asylum, but to the Hospital.“ s it usual to ag men from their homes on the statements of persons not competent to judge whether they are insane?’’ „I there is reason to believe a man is in- sane he is sent to the hospital for examina- tion. The ada vit reads as follows: STATE OF WEw Tonk. / COUNTY OF KINGs. Henry Schliehte, Jr., being duly sworn, deposes and says that he resides at No. W est street, Brooklyn, and is the son of Henry Schlichte, Sr., an alleged lunatic, who is at present (or late) au inmate of No. West street, corner Oak street.

Ithas now been pointed out that he could have gained access from his room to that oc- cupied by iss Barawell. When Miss Barda- weli’s willis opened itis thought new light may bethrownon the subject. She had an estate of about $25,000, which some of her relatives think may be left to New York ac- quaintances of hers. STUBBORN RANCHERS, Custom Officials at Langtry, Tex., Antici- pate Trouble About Emuggled Cattle. San ANTONIO, Tex., Aug. 5.—More trouble ofa serious character ie imminent at Lang - try, Valverde County, It will be remembered that a large lot of cattle numbering up in the hundreds, were seized by the Customs officials at that point some time ago while being smuggled across the border. Resident citizen rancemen in Valverde claimed that the cattle were their own property. iThe Col- lector of Customs thereupon submitted the caseto the Secretary of the Treasury, who instructed the Collector to turn the cattle over to the possession of the claimants upon their filing the necessary proof of their ownership in the property. The Collector notified the claimants of the Secretary's de- cision in the matter, proceeded to re- possess their property, bit is openly opposed by the smugglers, who being of supertor numbers, soem likely to be successful in their defiance of the Custom officials at Langtry to enforce the decision of the Federal Secretary.

Jou can see, said Lawyer Guch, there is nothing in this affidavit upon which a man should be apprehended. A boy swears that his father, an alleged lunatic, livesat a cer.- tain place, has certain wealth and then asks that he de committed. He does not even state that the man is a iunatic, except where he indirectly refers to him as an alleged lunatic. Ifit is usual to pick men UD on so slight evidence as this and hustle them off to an insane asylum I believe the Charities Commissioners should investigate and see how many similar cases there are.

The Chairman of the Building Committe Explains Ite Action. To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch: In the issue of the St. Louis Republic of Aug. 2. under the head of A Close Corporation,. there isan extraordinary and severe criti- cism of the School Board, for-confirming the Bullding Committee. ‘It is not my custom to endeavor to stop any of the many accusations or insinuations thrown against the management of the Schoo! Board, and more particularly against the Bullding Committee, but in this instance the facts have been so grossly mis- represented, and the public been thereby lead to Delleve that an enormous steal had been perpetrated, that I deem it my duty to answer the unwarranted language and charges made in that article, It appears that the whole trouble resulted from the statement made by one of the bid- ders on this work, In which he claims that he was the lowest on sixteen schools, and that some of them were awarded to com- petitors for a higher price than his did. Not having the exact figures nor all ofthe bids before me on the evening of the last board meeting, I could not give the details as well as I will do now, but I felt satisfied from the thorough manner in whicb all these mat ters had been considered by the committee that po injustice was intended, or had been done any bidder. Since then I have Investi- gated the matter thoroughly, and in order that the public may understand exactly what the facts in the case are, I will here give a statement of the figures of the bidder in question on all the schools in which he Cialme he was the lowest. They are as fol- ows: Penrose, $259: Bryan Hill, $180; Baden, $76; L’Ouverture, $45; Gratiot,$143; Marquette, $73; Mullanphy, $22; Sumner High, 612; Humboldt, 5%; BanneKer, $20; Lincoln, $25, making a total of $952. Some of the contracts were awarded to this ‘bidder atonce and others were referred to the architect and members of the RButidin Committee for investigation, and if — necessary, to solicit new bids on same, but the finol report was made to the board on last Monday on these schools as follows: Penrose, $183, Flesh & Mook; Bryan Hill, $128, N. Grohs; Baden, $74.75, N. Grohs; L’Ou- verture, $44, McCartney Bros.; Gratiot, $143, James Ruane; Marquette, $73, James Ruane; Mullanphy, $22, James Ruane; Sumner High, $12, James Ruane; Banneker, $20, James Ruane; Humboldt, $165, McCartney Bros.; Lincoln, $25, McCartney Bros. Total, $889.75, it wlll be seen that instead of the board suffering by not at once letting all these con- tracts, but rejecting some of the bids, a sav- ing of sixty-two dollars and twenty-five cents ($62.25) was accomplished. Among tue number of the schools adver- tised that were to be painted, there were several on which it was discovered altera - tionsin the specifications were necessary. Some ofthe bids submitted appeared so far from the estimate placed upon the work by the architect that it was deemed best to re- ject or relet as might beto the best interest of the board. In several instances amplif- cations were found necessa in thes ifi- cations by the architect and ordered by the committee after an inspection, and when these were completed they were again sub- mitted and the following painting firms pre- sented estimates on the work: Flesh & Mook, J. M. Sullivan & Co., A. Mauchenbelimer, McCartney Bros., N. Grohs, J. S. Dowling & Co., PF. J. Grievy, J. B. Kron, Mullen & Hoppius Painting Co. and several others. These new estimates were carefully con- sidered by the committee and Invariably the award was made to thelowest bidder. It must become apparent to everyone in any way familiar with work of this character thatit is very hard to please all bidders. The Building Committee tsi compelled to ex- ercisé discretion and great care in awardin contracts so that themoney expended wilt bring the greatest resuks, and it is also re- quired that they exertise the same amount of care to see that the parties receiving the contracts perform ths work intrusted to them according to the plans, specifications, contracts or agreemens. When this work was ¢alled for the estimate of the cost placed upog the same Was about $9,965; the amount ef the contract just eg including all the work, was $5,- it will be seen by carpfal management of this matter the board saved nearly $4,400 upon the item of painthg alone. Last year the cost of doing this Ame work was 811, 635, making a saving this year of nearly $6,500 on the same classiof work; t this can be Called extravayanceor reckless expendi- ture of money I fall to gee it. Now as to the charge that favoritism has been shown, I will call your atontion to one rule of the board, which is, thet all work less than $100 may be given out by me Committee Without previous advertising md has form- erly very often been given te mechanics re- — in the neighborhood of he work to be one. Now out of the fifty-three chools which were included in the advertisement for this ainting thirty-three required work costing ess than $100, This work acording to the rule could have been let out bythe members of the Building Committee wihout competi- tion to+tts friends, but the copmittee desir- ing to have it all done at the * lowest pos- sible figures consistent wih good work advertised for everything, evn items as low The wie shown by the e wisdom of this step i shown by fact that for the thirty-three ls requir- ing work costing less than $00, it was let at a total cost of $1,293.25, | Permit me also to correct tle statement in this article that the board spent last year $100,000 more that its incom; the very con- trary is the fact; the board ast year com- menced its administration with a deficit of 87,000.

Now it occurs to me that a little more fairness by the press extended to the men who devote their time to this thankless work, would probably result in getting more business men to serve in the capacity of School Directors. As it is now with this in- discriminate charge of extravagance and corruption continually and wrongfully thrown at them, it will be no easy matter for the public to get men of integrity who wil! lay themselves open to be the target of everyone having an imaginary grievance against the School Board.

SUNDAY-SCHOOL FESTIVAL. Im Every Detail the Description Given in the Bible of the Ancient Shrine in the Wilderness, Will Be Carried Out—Material to Be Empleyed in Its Construction. The feature of the Columbian Autumnal festival day of the st. Louis Sunday-schools, which will rival the chorus of 10,000 voices, will be the fac simile of the ancient taber- nacie. A more unique thing could scarcely be conceived. In every detail the imitation will comply with the biblical description of the shrine of the children of Israel in the wilderness. The tabernacle will be inclosed inacourt 60x150 feet, defined by bangings of fine tunic linen, hung from s6ix- ty posts, the number mentioned in the Bible. The original posts were tipped with silver and set in sockets of copper, but paint and foil will serve the purpose of the Tabernacle committee. The Tab- ernacle will face toward the East and will be 4 feet long, 16 feet wide and 15 feet high made of upright boards, overlaid with gold, There will be four coverings for the tabernacle; the first or inner cover WII be dec- orated with blue, urple and scariet cherubim, connected with each other by fifty loops of blue. The second cover will be the goat’s bair curtain, mentioned in the Bible, and will be imitated by white cash- mere cloth, looped together with fifty loops of brass; the third will be the cover of rams skin, dyed red, which will be repre- sented by cloth of a deep scarlet color. he fourth or outer cover of the tabernacle, which was made or badger skin, will be made as much like the originalas possible, sheep skin being the probable material.

New York, Aug. 5.—James Farrell of No. 871 Graham avenue pleaded gulity in the Lee Avenue Police Court, Brooklyn, to-day to highway robbery, butthe circumstances in connection were ofa pitiful nature. Farrell oh Friday evening stole a gold watch and chain valued at $60 from James O’Brien. O’Brien, who is an old man, was standing at tue corner of South Eighth street and Bed- ford avenue when Farrell, who was among a crowd coming up from the ferry, tore the watch and chain from his vest. The robber was crying at the time and apparently dia Hot know what he was doing. He ran sev- eral blocks, the crowd following. When he reached the eorner of South Ninth street and Diggs avenue he was stopped and in a dazed way seemed to realize that something had happened. ‘What have I done?“ „Stolen a watch.’’ „it's a lie, answered Farrell, but then he suddenly looked down at his clenched and trembling band and saw the watch. He burst out crying and found many sym- pathizers in the crowd. He said as best be could in his agitated way: ‘‘Mywifeandchildare hungry, le. I’m no thief. I was out of work, I aven’t eaten a crust of bread in two days. Ihe story was told in substance to Justice Goetting and was borne out by the officer who made the arrest. It has been found on investstigation to be true in every detail. The man’s good character being thoroughly established, pressure is being brought to bear on the District Attorney, to whom the case has been referred, to secure Farrell’s release. Jam Milk Dealers’ Cases Continued. Three grocerymen, Geo. H. Kessler, Wm. C. Knocke and Conrad Lang, were arraigned before Judge Morris yesterday for selling im- — milk. The retailers claim that they uy the milk as pure from the dealers, and assertthatthey are the ones to be prose- cuted.

The office of the Recorder of Deeds, with its hundreds of well-worn volumes, is a place that never fails to interest strangers in the city. There seems to be something fascin- ating about the well-thumbed records, or about the genial Sam Young and his clerks which draws strangers to the place, and but few distinguished men have visited the city and failed to pay at least one visit to this dusty old shop. Dom Pedro, the late Emperor of Brazil, when the guest ot Hon. Henry T. Blow and St. Louis put in a couple of profitable after- noons observing the frequenters of the Re- corder’s office, and hundreds of our own dis- tinguished people have done the same, The histories that are behind some of the deeds recorded would furnish plots fora whole library of fiction. Stripped of their romance, however, they would reveal many a pathetic story. The records seem to be particularly inter- esting toa colored manof about 45 years of on opening the door I was confronted by Lewis Payne, who stated that he had been sent by Dr. Verdi with some medicine for Mr. one hat he Seward. He persisted and ratsed a dis- turbance, saying that he must and would see Mr. Seward. Finally, seeing that he would g° up-stairs I oliowed him. On the third floor we met Mr. Frederick Seward and I explained wnat Payne wanted and after discussing the matter we decided nottolet him see Mr. Seward. I then started down stairs, and ne was to have fol- lowed me. I had only gone three steps, and Payne was at the top, wher I heard him say you —, and turning saw him Strike Mr. Frederick. Mr. Frederick threw Up his hands and fell back into his sister’s r - His skull was fractured, and though he Cametofor afew moments he was un- conscious for sixty hours. Payne then wept to the room of the secre- tary and slash im while he slept. He in- tended to cut bis throat, but missed it and cut his jaw,the same side that had been broken in the accident the day previous. Mr. Seward rolled out of bed on the floor, which prabably saved his life. Sergt. George Robinson was on duty in the secretary’s room. He was unarmed, but ciinched with Payne. Payne cut Robinson across the fore- head and shoulder, and he was losing blood So fast that he had to let go. Sergt. Robin- son was promoted to the office of Pay- master in the army with the rank of major for his effort to arrest Payne. While Sergt. Robinson and Payne were scuffling in the secretary’s room Maj. Augustus H. Sew- ard, another son of the sectretary, came into his father’s room in his night robe ‘and unarmed. He thought that his father had become delirious and that Sergt. Robinson wastryingto hold him. On tak- ing hold of Payne he discovered his mistake. Payne slashed bim across the head and wrists so that he lost Nis hold on him. All this happened in less time than it takes totell it. I ran down stairs and out on the street » to Call the patrol but not seeing them continued on to Gen. Augur’s headquarters. 1 did not see the guard and ran back again just in time to see Payne come out of the door of Mr. Seward’s residence and slash the chief messenger of the Department, who was the back. his horse and I followed him as far as 1“ street, where I lost him. At2o’clock on the night of April 18, Maj. Smith was searching the house of Mrs. Sur- ratt when there was a knock at the door and Payne, dressed upas a laborer, walked in. He had walked into a trap. e said that Mrs. Surratt bad sent for him to dig & ditch. Maj. Smith arrested hiriand brought him to Gen. Augur’s headquarters and I was sent for to identify him. He was brought into a a room with twelveother men and I pointed him out as the assailant of Mr. Seward. He was taken on board a monitor which steamed out into the harbor at once and he was kept on board until the other conspirators were cap- tured. Bell continued in the employ of Mr. Seward fora year afterthe attempt on Mr. Seward’s life and then went to Lincoln Col- lege. Since that time he has been teaching school inthe West.

The Card Was Only Fair, But the Sport Was Exciting. BRIGHTON BEACH Race TRACK, Aug. 5.— One of the most brilliant meetings that Brighton has ever had was brought toa suc- cessful close to-day. Thecard on this, the get-away day, while not upto the standard, was a good one, and the races were of the most interesting and exciting kind. A steeplechase over the course was the attrac- tive feature of the day,and held the half- holiday crowd tothe last. The weather was cooland delightful, and though the track received special attention the going was heavy and sticky. ‘The curtain-raiser was a consolation affair for borses that had run Ave times at this meeting without getting first or second money, andthetempting sdds offered by the bookmakers sent nearly all the horses tothe post well backe l. The talent divided their money between Blueblooa, Gloriana and aAustralitz, and finally sent them tothe post with Gloriana a shade the favorite. Gloriana never left the issue in doubt for a moment, leading all the way and winningina big — ‘lop. Australits, ridden — ate the place by a head from Blueblood, third. First race, five furlongs—Gloriana first, Australitg second, Blue blood third. Timel 04. After a short delay the fag drop toa strag- gling start with Coal Mine practically left at he post. Gloriana immediately took up the running and ry eer “ke pace to suit herself, won in a gallo our — from Austra- litz, who beat 1 in a drive for the place by a head. Second race, five furlongs—Josie, first; Elisa Ann, second; Olarius, third. Time, 1:04. Gertie showed in front the moment the flag fell and made the running into the home stretch, where Josie overhauled her and went to the front, winning by a length before Elisa Ann, who cameupvVery fast anu secured the place from Clarus by half a length. Gertie died away in the stretch. Third race, five furlongs—Relay colt, first, Speedaway, second; Pink H., third, Time, 1:05%. After a long Gelay they were sent away with the Relay colt in front.

QUINN’S REMOVAL FROM THE GAME, Dowd Who Replaced Him and Sommers Who Went to Left Both Made Costly Errors—Hawley Was Effective Rut Erratio— Results of Yesterday's Games ~—Base Ball News. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Aug. 5.—Umpire Snyder | and Capt, Quinn furnished the audiences at the new Eclipse Park to-day with a lengthy discussion on the merits of the decisions rendered by the former. The argument be- came so heated thatin the seventh inning it terminated by Quinn being fined $10 ana sent tothe bench. The game as a whole was a trifle disgusting for the spectators, for Snyder’s decisions gave members of both teams sufficient cause to protest against them. Although Pitcher Hawley had the best of the base hits ne was at times. very erratic, and in the inning in which Louisville tied the score he forced two men across the plate. Had Quinn been allowed to stay in the game St. Louis would have made it thrée straight, for Dowd, who went to second, and Sommers, Who took the latter's place in left after Quinn’s retirement, each contributed an error in the eighth inning which un- doubtedly lost the game for the Browns. St. Louls assumed command inthe second, and had a good lead when Louisville came to the bat in the eighth. In that inning, how- ever, three singles were made. Sommers and Dowd each made an error, while Pitcher Hawley contributed two bases on balls, which sent mien across the plate. That tied the score. In the Browns’ half Bannon gota life on Browning’s muff and stole second, but the next three men retired without advancing him. Pfeffer openea the ninth inning witha triple, and after Hem- ming struck out, scored on Pinkney’s sac- rince. The Browns made a desperate effort to win in the ninth and succeeded in getting two men on bases, with only one out, buta neat double retired the side. LOUISVILLE. T. Brown, ef. 1 ©’ ourke, ss.

Three Baltimoreans reached home in the second inning without a hit being made. The sixth inning was a cir- cus. A double and three balls filled the bases and then Baldwin relieved German. Three consecutive bases on balls followed and three men scored. Long went to sleep on third. He could easily have scored what would have proved to be the tying run. Baldwin pitched but two good balls in twelve attempts. Four singles, a double, two bases on Dalisand an error gave the Giants six runs in the fourth inning.

Macon, Mo., Aug. 5.—It now turns out that Johns, the young man who claims to have U rod the proposed attempt to wreck N rob the Wabash passenger train near — — morning, had not been out im the country visiting before he overheard the two parties planning the mischief. Young Johns and another young man by the name of Sim Reynolds, who, it is said, runs on the Wabash Railroad asa news agent, had been at the Atlanta Hotel up to 10 o'clock Thurs- Gay night, and then for two hours, up to 12 o'clock that night, they were knocking around the business portion of the town, whichis on the west gide of the depot, At midnight the boys started, young Johns going by himself to- Wards his father’s house, which is situated on the east side of the depot out of the busi. - ness part ot the town. This is young Johns’ statement, and it was then, he says, he over- heard the desperadoes making their plans to wreck and robthetrain. He gave no alarm, notified no one of what he beard, although his father’s house was one biock away. He is an operator and can use the telegraph in- struments in the office. He did not notify any oftherailroad officialsat Moberly, but simply, he says, north if the train was on time. He learned ‘that it was and then with his red lantern struck out to flag the train, which was due near Atlanta at about 120’clock. He claims he did not think he had time to notify anyone and get away in time to save the train from the disaster if the attempt was to be carried out. He went up the wagon road and while on his way north to meet the train, he says he heard the desperadoes hammering on the railroad track taking out the rail. The train was flagged and the discov- ery was made. Ihe rail was out, as described yesterday. The tools used were taken from the section hands’ tool-house at Atlanta. They were left lying with the extracted rail by the track. Sim Reynolds, the boy who was with young Johns up to 12 o'clock, was absent from Atlanta yesterday, and could not be seen. it was intimated that he had gone to Moberly. It is believed that if young Johns had anything to do with the affair, Reynolds is \ikewlse implicated. Trainman Heath of Moberly, who was on the train at the time, siated yesterday evening that the rallroad company had always treated young Johns and his father well, and he could not see how they could have any excuse to do the com- pany any harm. At present he is not willing to cast any refiecticons on the Doy’s past good reputation. Some parties venture the opinion | that the boy concocted the scheme in order towork the railroad company fora promo- tion ora nice donation because he saved tlie train from the disaster. Prosecuting Attorney Barrow is of the opinion that the Johns and Reynolds boys are cuilty or implicated in the crime. Sherif White left this morning for Atlanta to investigate the whole affair. An arrest will likely follow soon. Itis said that young Reynolds is rather a hard case. Ine belle is —— stronger here all the time that H. Johns and Sim Reynolds are the ~“arties who extracted the rail from the Wa ash railway, and some of the best citizens of Atlanta are now of the same opinion. It is stated on goud authority that Reynolds’ tracks have been discovered near the section men’s tool-house, where the tools were secured to tear up the track. Sherif! White arrived from Atlanta this evening, where he has been investigating the crime all afternvon. Reynolds could not be seen, but oung Johns claims that they were sitting n front of Atterbury’s hardware store there for about two hours after they left the hotel at 10 o'clock before Johns left for home at a little after 12 o’clock, when he overheard the supposed desperadoes talking near the depot. Young Johns’ account of himself and whereabouts that night was not sat- isfactory to the Sherif. He told the Sherif that when he asked the train dispatcher at Moberly that night as to where the south-—bound train was he received the reply that it was at Glenwood Junction, Which is at least fifty miles north of Atlanta. He did not notify the Kirksville and Laplate Stations of the affair, but struck out to fag the train. The Sheriff told young Johns and his father what the opinion of the ple was regarding the crime. Inis greatly embarrassed them, and they did not know what to say. No arrests have been made, but the matter is bein thoroughly investigated by the efficers an the railroad officials. 1 my Johns did commit the crime he is given he credit of having 9 the train before it was wrecked. No one else has been suspected. The opinion has also been ventured that it Might have been two Western tramps who toreupthe track, though no one has been seen or captu since, Young Jouns denies the crime and his father claims to have no knowledge of it.

TRIAL OF COLL HUGHES. His Court-Martial the First of the Kind Ever Held in Kansas. Torka, Kan., Aug.5—The trial by court- martial of Col. J. W. FT. Hughes for disobe- dience ot orders of Gov. Lewelllng during the legislative war bela last winter is attracting more attention than anything that has ha p- pened since the dual Legislature was in ses- sion. It is the first proceedings of the kind ever held in Kansas. The courtis meeting in the hall occupied by the Dunswore House of Representatives when it was locked out of Representative Hali, and throughout the trial it has been packed to suffocation. The leaders of both parties, nearly all the Doug- las and Dunsmore houses and many visitors from other parts of the State are present. The taking of testimony has just gun, and the indications are now that it will take ton days for the court-martial to finish its work. Adjt.-Gen. Arts was on the stand a short time this morning, and was cross- examined so sharply by the attorneys for the accused that at times there was danger of a personal encounter between the Judge Advocate and Col. Hughes’ attorneys. The ö Judge Advocate appealed to the court, several times forthe protection of the wilt ness. The attorneys for Hughes claimed that the Judge Advocate was attempting to suppresstestimony which would clear the accused, and stated frankly that tu sir defense was to show that Gov. Lewelling's order commanding Hughes to remove the Republican House from Repre- sentative Hall was unlawful, and for that reason he was justified under the law in dis- obeying. Gen. Caldwell, attorney for Hughes, again protested against the dental of the right of the accused to inquire into the lawfulness of an order, and stated that if there was nothing todo but tamely obey the commands of an executive, whether lawful or unlawful, there was no safeguard against excess of authority, and if the order to clear out the Douglass House had been obeyed blood would have been upon the head of Gov. Lewelling. ‘iiss C. E. Stallard, Secretary for Speaker Dunsmore, and is a leader in the Populists’ Woman’s League was put on the stand to testify as to what happened in Representative Halli on the who was Private night the Republicans barricaded themselves inthe hall, She was the only Populist there, and was one of only two women who gained admission. The Republicans claim she came inasaspy. Shetestified to the court about Col. Hughes’ speech to the Republican House, claiming that he assured them he was their friend; that he was in command of the troops, and that they would not be molested, notwithstanding Gov. Lewelling’s orders to the contrary. Populists claim this was trea- sonable, and it isupon this act of Hughes that they base the charge giving inteligence to the enemy. The prisoner’s attorney will put Speaker Doug as and other prominent Republican members upon the stand to controvert the statement of Miss Stallard. The court adjourned to 2 o’clock Monday. A VET:RA.»’S SAD END. Wm. Brandt Dies of Injuries Received by Falling From a Train. GREENVILLE, Miss., Aug 5.—Wm. Brandt, born in Brummel, Germany, in 1841, a veteran of the United state army, having entisted un- der Capt. R. A. Torry in Co. A, in 1862, and having been honorably discharged by Capt. R.

A FARMER KILLED. AL rox, III., Aug. 5.—Mr. Anton Benkhaus, an old farmer living in the Piasa Hollow, near the Grafton road, was instantly killea last night while driving bome from this city. He left this city about 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon, with a wagon load of lumber.

MELVIN E. LAMB AND JAMES KIRBY LOSE THEIR LIVES. Their Companions Unable to Aid Them— Perry Landon Was Also Sinking for the Third Time Wh'n He Grasped a Floating Tree and Reached F hore— Were Wen Known. The teachers at the Piasa Bluffs Chautau- qua assembly were diverted from their relig- ious and intellectual occupations yesterday to mourn the loss of Melvin E. Lamb and James Kirby, who were carried to their death in the Mississippi current. Lamb and Kirby were well-known citizens of Jerseyville, a town not far from the assembly grounds. With three of their fellow townsmen, T. F. Remer, Perry Landon and Theodore Voorhis, the two men who were drowned took a skiff at the mouth of the valley in which the as- sembly grounds lay and rowed toward the Missouri shore to fish. They got over about 12 o’clock and cast their lines, but bad poor luck, and stripped to bathe. None of the five could swim, but they did not expect to reach deep water, because they were ona sandbar which seemed to fall away very gradually toward the south. They enjoyed themselves thoroughly, and Lamb. Kirby and Landon after a time ventured a little further south than they at frst had dared to go. GOT OVERHEAD. They did not know that the sand bar broke off abruptly at the point wherethe water cut it ot from view, and in an instant the three men were struggling for their lives in several fathoms of water in the swift current ot the river. Lamb and Kirby were quickly out of sight, onaccount oftheir inability to swim and the force of the current. Landon sank twice and was carried far be- yond assistance. Butwhen he cameto the surface for the last time he grasped a pass- ing tree and managed to reach shore. Messrs. Remer and Voorhis witnessed the drowning ot their comrades, being unable to render them assistance on account of the swift current which swept the unfortunates away down stream. : The survivors hastily crossed to the Illinois shore and reported to the tenters in the val- ley what bad happened. A large number of people to whom the drowned men were very well Known are among the attendants at the assembly, and the news of the disaster gave them a grievous shock. Much sympathy was expressed for the relatives of Mr. Lamb, whose wife, child, father, mother and two sisters were among the tenters. THE DROWNED MEN. Mr. Lamb was about 30 years old, a farmer and stock raiser of means, and lived near Jerseyville. He was away from home on business when the Chautauqua opened, but returned at the solicitation of his wife, who wanted to enjoy tent life dur- ing the assembly season. Mr. Kirby was also a farmer near Jersey- ville. He was about 38 or 40 years old and a widower, r. Remer is a Jerseyville drug- Kist, and Messrs. Landon and Voorhis are clerks in different mercantile establishments of the town. Many of the friends of the dead men rowed across to the fatal sand-bar dur- ing the afternoon in hopes of recovering the bodies. Their efforts were unsuccessful and when night fell the search had to given over. Rev. Sam Jones referred tothe sad accident with much pathos in his lecture yesterday afternoon, and drew from it a moral which he asked his bearers to take home to them, Drowned While Swimming. Fred Wenhoemer, a 16-year-old boy, living with his parents at 1548 North Seventeenth street, went swimming with a number of companionsin the river at the foot of St. Louls avenue last night. When some dis- tance apart from the others he dived off a raftand was drowned. His body was recov- ered about two hours later at the foot of Benton street and taken to the Morgue. RELIGIOUS NEWS.

Boilermakers Arriving From the East to Take Strikers’ Places. Last evening quite a large delegation of bollermakers, numbering about thirty alto- gether, arrived in st. Louis from the East, and will begin work in the place of the local bollermakers who several weeks ago went out On a strike fromthe several boiler yards in St. Louis. The eastern contingent, it is claimed, to a certain extent, represent organized labor. Most of them, it is alleged, are members of local labor unions in the cities where they have formerly worked and resideu. | They do not bring very flattering reports of | the times from their homes. Among those who came in last evening was a part of boilermakers from Cleveland, -. They traveled some- what in style and upon their arrival in St. Louis took up their quarters at the St. James Hotel. ‘Their names are R. J.

On this date Greggains and Dan Creedoa, the Australian champion, will fight toa finish at 158 pounds for a purse of $5,000, of which $500 will go tothe loser.

I then recalled the way in which the French pala | th the four millionsof francs to the Germans after the Franco-German war, with no sub- sequent Onancia!l distress. / There are two reasons for this wonderful vitality, First, in no country in the world ts Property so equally divided; and second, there is a total absence of that peculiar American ambition to acquire such immense fortunes as are made in the United States, When a Frenchman has made enough Maney tolive comfortably in his particular walk in Ute, he stops. It was with the sur- plus earnings of thousands that the subscrip- tions to the Panama stocks and bonds were made; few risked more than they could afford to lose; all hoped to double or treble their money. This, to be sure, bas gone and is lost forever, but it is only the traditional stocking which no longer contains the 5-franc Pieces economized one by one. Few Fronch- men would ever conceive the idea of mort- gaging their property for any speculation. When again, a large, part of the money was gubscrised from patriotic motives. When a Frenchman stops making money for himself he does not stop working. He considers itan honor to serve his countr gretuitously and, in consequence, he gladly meceptsthe position of ‘‘Maire’’ of Ad- ont tothe Maire or Municipal Counselor or Justice of the Peace or Judge of the Tri- Dana of Commerce, etc., etc. For France all these places in the Govern- ment are without any pay whatsoever. For example let me cite the life of one of my most intimate friends in Paris, whom! will calli M. Jacques. After taking his degree and through his service militaire’’ he then went into an Agree’s office as clerk. (An Agree can best be described as a lawyer pleading exclusively before the Tribunal de Commerce, which, as its name implies, deals only with commercial | classes). are allowed to plead before the Tribunal de Commerce and their number is limited by law. Each bas an office, which is called an „ Ftude,“ having a certain number of clients, which gives a certain value to the Etude. When Jacques became Maitre Clerc’’ or | head clerk, which isa much more important position than that ofa head clerk in any law office in this country, his parents began look - log for a suitable wife for him, and in due time a young lady having the necessary qualifications was discovered and he mar- ried. Perhaps ove of the most satisfactory of the qualifications was a dot“ of 300,000 francs ($60,000), with which he purchased the Etude and started for himeelf. After the manner of his nation he worked early and late; lived in the quietest and plest fashion; two boys were and carefully educated; every more money was laid by, and at last, at the age of 50, he sold out the Etude toa younger brother, with the proviso that it should be returned inten years to his eldest gon. In the meanwhile he had bought a chateau onthe Seine, about an hour from Paris, and had been elected ‘‘Maire’’ of the township or commune, as it is called. He then furnished a most apartment in Paris, where who are very musical, en- tertain most delightfully in winter. He was elected as one of the Municipal Council of is, and has been so active and useful that he bas become quite a prominent man.

HE STOLE THE GAINSBOROUGH. Some Burglaries in This Country With Which Adam Worth Was Connected. Special Correspondence SUNDAY PoOst-DisPaton. New Yorn, Aug. &.-—Fifteen years ago a painting ofthe Duchess of Devonshire was exhibited in the art store in Old Bond street, London. The picture had been painted by Gainsborough, and was valued at a high price, having been cut from the frame. of the thief could be found. It was discovered a few days ago that Adam Worth, well known to police officials in this No trace in eriminal was the I may state here that only Agrees | course he is decorated with the Legion of Honor, and I have not the slightest doubt will be a Deputy ere long. This is the history of a successful French- Man. While he was making his money his Whole time was devoted to his business. The first time I met him was at a rendezvous at his Etude at s in the morning, where I found adoren filents ahead of me. Once out of business he then started in to enjoy lite. House in town, house in the country, horses, carriages, box at the opera, absolute ease and comfort the future of hig son provided for, freedom from business care, all this accom plished at the age of 60. Ny friend Jacques had made enough money to satisfy his wants. He therefore has it in- vested in Government bongs, real estate and only the most gilt-edged securities, Some But in that he has 100,000 francs ($20,000) a year, in reality I do not believe that he.has over De that as it may, he ig having the ife.

Worth is now serving at Louvain, Belguim, a sen- tence of seven years for theft. Among the earlier exploits of this daring n of the Ocean Bank in 1969, when was associated with Charley W. ‘Bollard, allas Plano Charley, and Isaac Marsh, alias **Big ke. Maximil- lan or Mark Shipbarn and *‘Bob’’ Cockran were also Members of the gang. The thieves hired an office in the basement of the bank building, where they established a money brokers’ office. They cut their way into the bank and cleaned out the vaults. This robbery netted themalarge amount of cash and negotiable bonds, but the money was soon squanderedin high living and ut the gaming table. Among other big robberies which Worth’s | Fans succeeded in was that of the Merchants’ Jnion Express Uo. of New York Central Rail- | road, between this city and Buffalo. Bul lard, Marsh and a reformed ex-convict bound and gagged the messenger, while the other members of the gang covered the train hands with pistols. They got away with about $100,000. Marsh and Bullard were cap- turedin Canada and brought back to White Plains Jail, but, pending their trial, some of thetr confederates managed to liberate them and they went to Boston. It was only a few months laterthat the Boyleston Bank robbery took place. The bur- giars got away with cash and securities amounting to $450,000. With this rich haulthe trio hastened to Europe. In Paris the American Bar, a cafe inthe Rue Scribe, was opened by Bullard underthe name of Charles H. Welis, and it Was there that a thriving gambling business was conducted until recently, when the French authorities closed the piace, Bullard Deing sentenced to one year in prison. After the Boyleston bank robbery Worth remained abroad a long time, although he has made a number of trips to Canada. Worth was arrested in this city some years ago for blowing open the safe in Stiner’s tea store on Vesey street, but he got off, the e- dence against him being too flimsy. Worth is believed to be very rich, owning his own house in London, where he lived in grand style. He is the owner also of a fine steam yacht, and every season entertained nis friends—all of a shady character—cruls- ing up and down the Mediterranean. The indictment against him for the Boyles ton Bank robbery ts stiil alive, and it will be aificult for him to get away from his victims abroad by comingto this country when re- leased in Belgium, as his picture is in every rogues’ gallery, and the lice in every city wiil be on the ookout for him.

C., Aug. 4.—The death of Semuel Blatchford ot New York, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, recalls one of the most exciting periods of American political history. After pa heated campaign James A. Garfield of Ohio ahd Chester A. Arthur of New York had been elected respectively President ‘and Vice- President. The inauguration ceremonies were immediately followed by a prolonged and bitter quarrel within the ranks of the victorious party. Roscoe Conkling, then a Senator from New York, angered at the course of the Administration, set about to prevent the don- armation of certain appointments to office within the limits of his State, After weeks of struggle he was compelled to abandon the fight as hopeless, and, in his chagrin at de- feat, he tendered his resignation, appealing to the Legislature of New York for vindica - tion by a re-election at their hands, Whilathis factional strife was. still at its height the scene of the struggle being re- moved from this city to Albany, a half crazed and wholly murderous crank assassinated President Garfield, ifthe insane hope of in some way personally benefiting by the deed. In the fall, President Garfield having expired, Mr. Arthur became President. It has always been believed by many that Mr, Conkling expected to be tendered the port- folio of state by President Arthur. This, however, was not done. Soon after Presi- dent Arthur’s accession a vacancy on the Supreme Bench was caused by the death of Nathan Clifford of Maine, the last Demo- cratic appointee upon the Supreme Bench until the appointment of the late Justice Lamar by President Cleveland in 1857. Very soon after another vacancy in the Supreme Court came about in consequence of the retirement of Ward Huntof New York, by special act of Congress. On Feb. 24, 1882, President Arthur sent to the Senate the name of Roscoe Conk- ling for this vacancy upon the Supreme bench. The nomination was promptly con- firmed, but on Mareh’ Mr. Conkling sent a letter of declination to President Arthur, in which he sat It will evér be a matter of pride and satis- faction that you and the Senate deem me fit for so grave and exaltedatrust. But, for reasons which you would not fail to appreci- ate, Iamconstrained to decline.“ President Arthur then offered the position to George F. EGmunds, then Senator from Vermont, whoalso declined. The appoint- ment was then tendered to Mr. Biatchford, who at that time occupied the position of Oircuit Judge of the Second Judicial Cirenait. Judge Blatchford was originally appointed on the federal beneh by President Johnson as Judge of the District Court of the Southern District of New York. This was 1 4867. Eleven years afterward, in 1878, he was ap- pointed Circuit Judge by President Hayes. It is n more and more the custom to take men for —— on the Su — bench who have held positions on the of the district or circuit courts of the United States or of the State courts. The only. mem- bers of the Supreme Court at the present time who had not judicial experience pre- vious to going apes the supreme Dench are Chief Justice and Associate Justices Harlan and Shiras. Justice Fleld was at the time of his appointment Ohief Justice of the Supreme Court of the State of California. Associate Justice Gray, when he was appointed, was Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts. Justices Brewer and Jackson were circuit judges at the time of their appointments,and Justice Hrown was a 8 Justice Gray succeeded Nathan Clifford of Maine, and Mr. Brewer succeeded Stanley Matthews of Ohio, who had himself succeeded Judge Swain of that State, the latter being one of Lincoln’s appointees. Mr. Brown succeeded Samuel F. Miller of lowa, who during his life was regarded as the profoundest lawyer upon the Supreme bench. Mr. Shiras succeeded Joseph F. Bradley of New Jersey and Mr. Jackson succeeded Justice Lamar. Although there isa law provision which per- mits a member of the Supreme Court to re- tire at full pay when he reaches the age of 70, 1 he has been ten years upon the neh, there is but one Uving retired jus- tice, William Strong of Pennsylvania. ‘But one other justice ever took advantage of this privilege of retirement, Swain, of io. A GREAT JUDICIAL MIND. Representative David B. Oulberson, Chair- man of the Judiciary Committee of the House, and whose name President Oleve- land had under consideration for Attorney- General in the present Cabinet, is one of the great judicial minds of Cengress. Oulberson is large and rather phiegmatic in body. He has never been accused of being ia love with the routine work of his profession or of Oop- gress, but de has practiced his profession successfully and made a mighty good Judge on the Texas State bench. A constituent of his who was here not long ago insists that the Judge is a diplomat, as well as a lawyer and statesman. In proof of — assertion he told how he wrote to 8888 berson some months before the last presidential election asking him todo a certain thing for him. He received no answ er to that letter and wrote gain, two or three times. He received no y to any of these letters. In the last he — erred in severe terms to the Judge’s dere- liction inthe matter. Not long after sending his last letter he received from Judge Oul- Derson a lot of agricultural reports. e had no use for agricultural reports and their re- ception made him madder than he was before. In tract he got so a 12 with the Judge that he took the fleld an an to work against hig re-election. The district was not a cer- tain one for the third party in the field and the Judge and his friends © somewhat anxious over the probable result of this un- expected opposition, By and by Judge Cul- berson AN on the scene — = after In tune " district he * and de erms. latter was 1 an Judge Jud rely and serenely in the eye, and when © lat- ter’s ammunition became exhausted the Judge asked him if he was entirely through with his com| — 2 and upbraidings. fis * constituent in concla- cae A * raion, around my shion, * the nearest oye ** me clean out, the constituent. * piloted nearest several SHOULD LIVE UNSPOTTED.

A 2 5 > w 8 ee 9 of Saint Jean - Bonne fond, live a strange sect of people, both in régard to their religion and their customs. The, Catholics of the com- munity call them Beguins, undoubtedly be- cause they regard them as a superstitious sect. The name of Behards was given to them during the Middle Ages, when they made theirappearance. Men and women banded together then to lead a religious life apart from the world, yet» uncloistered. The ye of St. Etienne, whoare the im- 8 scendants of the Behards of the 4 + le Lees, are remarkably good citizens, although their exciusiveness has provoked the criticism oftheir neighbors and calumny has busted itself with them, They have been accused of gross immorality, but whenever these stories have been sifted they have al- ways been found untenable. A visit to the Cemetery of the Behards discloses the fact, that nomark distinguishes one grave from the other. Under the rich green grass they all sleep entombed alike. The gate-keeper will inform you that no Beguin was ever buried under a stone, that parents never come to visit the graves of their children, and that grees and tears are @ rare thing with them. It is the basis of their religion to regard the body of but trifling importance. It is surprising that such a strict sect of relicious pie should have located in the heart of France. They made their appear- ance there in 1848. Before that time the Beguins were nothing but Jansenists, numbers of which exist to-day in all the — cities and especially in 1 They riests, and assembled in barns for their religious exercises. But they waited for the coming of the 1 Elias, clinging to that faith tenaciously, and to the pro- phesies of the convulsionaries. Their belief seemed about to be realized when in 1846 Digonnet, an aged stonemason married and the — ofa family, appeared on the scene to 8 the Gospel, He alwed himseif offs “oy Prophet Elias, who ad dame omearth the segond time, and who of the Spirit of God.

The Beguins who live in cities do not wear these external signs of their religion. There are about fifty Keguins in Paris to-day, and nearly all of them are engaged in making passementerie and live in the Temple quarter. Several times Digonnet came in conflict with the authorities who attempted to stop his im positions as the prophet Elias, and the third time he was locked up in ‘a lunatic asylum, where he died in 1857. Since the time sonnet the Jansenists split among them , and many of them joined the follow- ihe supposed prophet. These are the guins of to-day. ey call themselves both Catholic and Apostolic, but not Roman. The mass was discarded, and they celebrate their Sundays and holidays by rennions, to which no outsider is admitted.

New Tonk, Aug. 5.-—-There is a plain brick ‘tehement at 880 South First street, Williams- burg. Poor persons tend their babies about the doorways and women gossip in the halls, which arefilled with an odor of cooking. For two years it bas sheltered a mystery. The neighbors have gosstped and guessed and watched the spare, black clad figure of “annie Smith’’ going down ‘the stairs at the break of day, ascending them at its close. They have sad Good morning’’ and Hor a’ye go“ to her. She has answered formally and gone on up to her solitary quarters on the third floor. They knew intuitively, as women ‘well know things about other women, that or name was not Annie smith, but they never got past the hedge of politeness that she kept always about her.

The hospital doctors have tried to get her to tell her story. The white- robedfsisters have gone to her bedside and made every effort women can make to learn from her what is hidden be- hind the plain name of Annie Smith, She simply smiles and shakes her head, Reef broth, brandy and milk are the mild forms of nutriment which hospital nurses are forever holding up to her lips. She opens her eyes, shuts her lips tight against all potions and smiles and shakes her head again. ‘‘Annie Smith’’ is deliberately, wordlessly, starving herself to death. Through stages of delirium she has borne her pur pose in mind. In rational moments she thanks the sisters in a soft voice for their kindness, but of her story, nota single word. Here is all there is of it. ALONE IN THE WORLD. Two years ago or thereabouts she came to the landlady, Mrs. Maurice Robinson, looked at the sitting room and bedroom on the third fioor back, and said she would take them at a month. She brought some old-fashioned furniture and badastrong padlock put on the door. Mrs. Robinson took her fora mar- ried woman. ‘‘No, I’m not married, she said. ‘‘lishall have no callers excepting, maybe, some day a little girl will come here see me. I hope she will. I had a sister, ary she is dead. I work in New York on M to la fee underwear.’’ chael Frevele’s wife knew more about Annie Smith thanany one else in the bud ene, She lived onthe same floor, she said. a re’s nobody here,’’ she said, that Knew anything about that woman. Nobody ever came here to see her, excepting once, a yearago. There was an old gentieman with @ gray mustache and two young ladies. They The old pardon for passing told him that it was that it was a pretty hot day. He said, ‘Yes, it’s always pretty hot in summer in a big city. But it’s cooland nice up where I live.’ asked him where that was and he said up near New Haven Since he went away no one has ever come to see her. I sawalong about noon on Thursday that the padlock was not on the outside of Miss Smith’s door and I knew she Was in.

Next morning she went and knocked again, but there was no answer. She told Mrs. Frevele, and Mr. Frevele climbed up By the fire escape and got into Annie smith’s room. STARVING AND DELIRIOUS. The mysterious tenant lay onthe bed. On the floor stood a tub fall of water. She raised up on her elbow on hearing a foot-fall in the room, her thin face was as white as paper, ana her eyes were wild. *‘What are you Going here,’’ she demanded. ‘‘What is the matter with you,’’ Frevele asked in reply. ares you sick? Why did you not answer When they Knocked?’’ ‘‘I didn’t hear any the Woman answered feebly, and asigh she fell back onthe bed, © Came down the fire escape and called man Terriere. ‘iogethber they went ck to the room. Annie Smith was talking, taking, talking things neither of the men could make head or tall of. Only now and then she would say a scrap of a prayer. The policeman called an ambulance and they took the quiet lodger to the hospi- tal.

From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Miss Taylor of London, Engladn, the only woman who ever penetrated the interior of Thibet, wasanarrivalon the steamer Em- press of Japan, She is small in stature. Her bands and wristsare small, her features fine and her manner gentile and pleasant. In spite of this fact Miss Taylor has traveled where a man could not have gone and lived. She was connected indirectly with a Ohina mis- sion; but having sufficient means of her own traveled about as fancy dictated, The trade of Thibet is held by China and China is jeal- ous of having anyone or any other nation enter the M because they know well that if ‘‘foreign devils’’ ever get into the land of the Thibetans the Chinese trade mo- nopoly is gone, The Chinese have guards all around the territory and far in the interior their spies are to be met. Miss Taylor started out first with four ser- vants, und among them was a Mongolian Mohammedan, who coveted her belongings, and thought it would be a meritorious thing to killherany way. This man gave her a lot of trouble, and his treachery at the end nearly cost her her life and prevented her entry into Lassa, the sacred city of the in- terior of Thibet, of whichso many strange stories are told. Miss Taylor’s party was twice stopped by bandits. Once they took nearly ali her things away, but after discov- ering that her party were not members of the faction for which they had been mis- taken, some of her goods were returned to her, After many vicissitudes she reached the Lassa district and got to within a few miles of Lassa city. Here she found that her treacherous servant had gone ahead and told the head men that if they allowed her to enter the city their lives would be forfeited to the Chinese Government; so the authori- ties when she came up, told herthey were sorry, and would willingly let her enter the city, but they dared not, She was thus forced to turn back within sight of her goal. The Thibetans area nomadic people, but have one ortwo permanent towns, Lassa, the capital, being the largest. The people are governed principally by the lamas or native priest, They practice polyandry to a great extent, many women having as many as three or four husban 16, who in many cases are brothers. The country is all very much above the sea level, some ll, feet in the valleys, and she suffered greatly from shortness of breath, ‘The Thibetans are herders, and many of them are splendid horsemen. They use a number of horses, and the ox in this country corresponds to the yakin Thibet. The yak is larger than the ox, and has a peculiar grunt like a pig. Thibet is wet in summer and eold in win- ter. Miss Taylor has a Thibetan man servant with her, whom she says has been faithful. Whenshe finally reached the border exit was refused this servant, but she said in the Thibetan language, which she understands perfectiy: He goes or 1 do not. You may kill me if you wish, but my man must go. See you this?’’ and she drew from her breast a small silken union jack that she fad car- ried through all ber vicissitudes. ‘‘*Stain this fag with my blood, and the great mother, whose sign this flag is, will avenge my death.’’ Strange to say, this obtained her not only exit, but a safe escort. Herry Weil's Case. New Yorn, Aug. 5.—The Stock Exchange Governors satin judgment yesterday on the case of Harry G. Weil, charged with conduct rejudicial tothe welfare of. the Exchange in erating the Manhattan Bank when it refused to advance currency on checks drawn by the Well House. It was atatime last month when things were very scary in stocks that the re- marks were made on the floor ofthe Ex- change. Mr. Wellsaid: ‘‘Whatisthe useof having a bank account if you cannot get your bal- ance? If you do not believe it, go to your bank and try it. Rudolph Keppler asked whetber he meant what he said and called him sharpiy to ac- count. Messrs. Keppler and A. E. Maurace testifned to the words, while their effect on the street was sworn to by several familiar with curbstone gossip. The case was quickly closed and a verdict promptly reached, suspending the firm of A. J. Weill 4 Oo. tor one year from all the privi- leges of membership. This is the extreme nalty, It was not reached until very late nthe afternoon, but wherever heard by mem bers words of approval for the action of the Governors were mingled with regrets that such a step was found necessary. A. J. Well, when asked his opinion of the verdict or what he would do, refused to utter a word. Upou the conclusice of the Weil matter the Board of Governors lauded the New York banks in the following resolution: The members of the New York Stock Exchange, in common with all persons connected with financial instivations or interested in monetary affairs, have watched with admiration and respect the courage intelligence and magnanimous position assumed 168 | suffered a slight relapse on the | during his exciting crisis U the banks of New York city.

Festus, Mo., Aug. 6. — The Teachers’ Insti- tute of Jefferson County closed yesterday. The enrollment of teachers was 108. Prof. J. 8. Stevenson of the Clay School, St. Louis, conducted the exercises during the session assisted by Principal F. W. McFarland o Virginia City, Mont., and County Commis- sioner Geo, F. Boothe. It is generally con- | ceded that this year’s work is the best that has been held since the institute was organ ized in 1882, Resolutions were passed unanimously tindorsing the institute law, and Supt. Wolf's administration. Next year the institute will be held at De Soto, begin- ning in July. Due to Subsequent Action. From the Chicago Tribune. Mamma: Now, Johnny, tell me the truth.

MANY OF THE CHIEF BUILDINGS WILL BE CLOSED. No Music Will Be Furnished by the Or- chestra—Director Thomas’ Resignation Not Yet Handed to Mr. Davis—British Day to Be a Marked Event at the White City. WoORLD’s Fam Grounps, Aug. 5.—There will be anotheropen Sunday at the White City to-morrow, that is so far as some of the gates are concerned and a few buildings, but the majority of the latter will be closed. Strains of music will not ring out over the broad lagoons ofthe place of honor and no special attraction of any kind will be of- fered to makea visit to the Fair pleasant. The chair-pushers will lay off and the gon- Goliers and the guides of the electric launches will enjoy themselves as they see ft. * Director-General Davis and President Hig- inbotham both have gone out of town to stay over Sunday and all the officers about the Administration Bullding will be absent. As yet the resignation of Theodore Thomas as Director of Musichas not been handed to Mr. Davis, and itis not probable it will be sentin, What action Mr. Davis will take is not known, Mes Extensive preparations are being consum- mated by the Executive Committee to make British Day a success. The programme as at present srranged is as follows: A parade and procession down town form- ing onthe Lake front. Every country of the British Empire now repre- sented in the city will take part. Capt. Gardon, the commanding officer of the British troops, now stationed atthe Stock pavilion, will be Chief Marshal of the day. At the conclusion of the parade cars will be taken for the World’s Fair, where the picturesque ceremony of the trooping of the colors will be performed at2o’clock by the British troops, assisted by the uniformed Sir Knights, Sons of St. George, Royal Scots and other bodies in front of Victoria House. From thence the procession, headed bya military band, will moveto Festival Hall, where a demonstration will be held at 8 p. m. Col. Hayes Sadler, the British Consul, has consented totake the chair, and there will be addresses by commissioners from all parts of the British Empire. Prof. Tomlins has been made Chairman of the Music Commit- tee and will provide a choir of 1,000 voices to sing British and American patriotic songs. In the evening the gathering will attend the military tournament in the Stock Pavilion, on which occasion a gold medal will be pre- sented to Corporal Evans for thé distin- guished bravery he displayed at the recent cold storage fire. A grand display of fre- works will be one of the day’s features. The committee in charge of the arrargements will meet at the Sherman House on Tues- day evening, Aug. 8. All British-Americans and British exhibitors and visitors interested in the day are cordially invited to be present. Just now the Midway Plaisanceis passing engulfed some of the concessions and threat- ens to put others inthe handsof the sheriff or receivers. The famous street of tbe world asa whole cannot complain of a lack of patronage, because hundreds of visitors to the Fair spend the whole day in the streets and villages of Midway without entering the more esthetic, but to them less attractive part of the Exposition. Certain concessionaires are beginning to find out to their financial sorrow that the public is whimsical and Ses also a fair judge of what is worth paying to see. Dis- sensions among the stockholders in the con- cessions and consequent litigation have led to the appointment of receivers for the Original Vienna Bakery, Cafe and Natatorium Co. and the Algerian Theater. The Persian Theater has fallen within the drag-net put out by Director-General Davis, who has been appointed informally censor of the Oriental dances on the Midway forthe good of public decency and morality. Director of Works Burnham reported that the Persian idea of terpsichorean art was not in harmony with the tone of the exposition or the American code of morals, so to-day, by order of the chiefexecutive officer, the Persian Theater is closedtothe public until such time as the dancing part of the programme can De re- vised and approved by the censor. The Algerian Theater, the dance in the street in Cairo and the Cafe Chantante of the Turkish Village are also on thesuspect list. They are being closely ins ted by Mr. Burnham and orders to close will no doubt follow in those cases unless the offensive features of the dahce are eliminated permanently. An excursion to the great wheat flelds of the Northwest for the entertainment of representatives of agriculture on foreign commissions has been arranged through the courtesy of the Milwaukee, St. Paul & North- western Raliroad. The purpose of the jour- ney is to enable the Commissioners of foreign countries, whoare especially identified with ———— interests, to form from personal observation an accurate estimate of the resources of the Northwest. The party will probabiy leave Chicago on the 2ist inst., and they will be entertained at St. Paul and Minneapolis, whence a trip to Minnetonka will be taken, staying over one Sunday upon the shores of that beautifullake. Proceeding on their journey, the excursionists will be taken to Grand Forks, Deviil’s Lake and Larimer, where they will be shown the great wheat farms and an opportunity will afforded them of seeing 10,000 acres of wheat cut, a feat in agricultural accomplishment which cannot be equaled in any other — 2 in the world. „ Forty-Niners, who flocked to California in the early da, came to the Fair to-day and were entertained at the California Building. They mingled together under the alms and relatedistories of early times when hey left their families and sailed around Oa pe Horn to the gold fields on the Pacific slope. California, recognizing the State’s rosperity and advancement is to a large egree' the result of this early migration to mer shores, played host in a charming menner. Tr. N. J. Bird of the California Commission made the old- timers a speech of welcome, which was re. Spondes to by Addison Ballard, President of the Western Association of California pio neers, under whose charge the reunion was held: A poem describing the lives of the Argonauts of d was read by Mrs. Martha Vincent. The Iowa State Band furnished good music and vocal selections were ren- dered by Miss Alice Mitchell, Mrs. E. S. Gill, J. M. Hutchinson and others. Impromptu speeches reminiscent of the days of the goid fever were made. Areception was held by — Commissioners after the ex- ereises. EXCURSION FROM NEW YORE. NEw Tonk, Aug. 5.—The second World’s Fair special excursion train, via Erie Rallroaa, left New York this morning with twenty-five passengers. The indications are that this train will be run in two more sections and will arrive in Chicago with from 600 to 1,000 people. — „res GOT TO Sror.“ Anthony Comstock on the Midway Plaisance Danoes.

} 2 I. LOUIS, ‘SUNDAY MORNING, AUGUST 6. 1893.” 8 Urs. Elizabeth Beaton Likely to Be Arrested by Virginia Officers. ‘ "Mysterious Companion of C. H. Case on the Steamship Guyandotte. - AFTER HE WAS DROWNED THE sur- POSED DAUGHTER DISAPPEARED. Tracea by a Reporter to Burlington, Ontario, Where the Mystery of Their Peculiar Story Was Unraveled—She Frazenly Denies Her Identity to Wit- ness s Her Husband Silent. Nonrotx, Va., Aug 5.—From Norfolk to Burlington, Ont., the strange circumstances inthe mystery of Cicero Harrison Case’s death are linking themselves in a chain of evidence. A telegram received from New York to-day gays the case will probably come up before District Attorney De Lancy Nicolon Monday next. Owing to a question of jurisdiction, however, it is thought that New York will not be able to take the initiative in following up the case as the drowning occurred at sea and the body went ashore on the coast of Virginia. The adventuress, Mrs. Beaton, is gu id to be much agitated over her identifica- tion as Mary Oliver’’ but still denies that sie was with Mr. Case on the Guyandotte. On Friday morning, June 30 last, an old man who bad registered with thé pursur as Cicero Harrison did not appear at the break- fast table on the old Dominion steamer Guyandotte, nor could he be found on board. fils stateroom had not been occupied. He had been last seen sitting on the deck at 2 a. m., when the ocean was quiet and the night warm, As soon as Capt. Walker became assured that the passenger was overboard he sent for @ young woman who had been in his company at the wharfat Norfolk and to whom he had given a bill with which to pay her fare to New York. She said she was Mrs. Mary Oliver, the widowed daughter of the missing man, who was Cicero Harri- son of Jackson, Mich., a cousin of ex-Presi- dent Bejamin Harrison. In his conversation with Mrs. Oliver Capt. Walker was disposed to think she did not showany great grief at ber father’s death. He reported the facts on his arrival at New York, where a representa- tive ofthe Worip and Post-DispaTcu had a conversation with her. She said that her father had been traveling in the South for his health. Shesaid he had been a carriage manufacturer and had retired from active work in 1883, when he was 638 years old. July IMrs. Oliver disappeared, leaving behind her the story that a bag containing securi- ties had been mislaitd onthe wharf at Nor- folk. She did not come to Norfgik, but was located for the first time last Wednesday at Burlington, Ontario. where she is living as Mrs. Elizabeth Beaton, Wife of Malcom Heaton. It has been also as- certained that the old man was Cicero Harri- gon Case of Norfolk, and not Cicero Harrison of Jackson, Mich. When confronted at her own table in Burlington by a New York WORLD and PoOST-DISPATCH representative, who was detaileda month ago to clear up the mystery she denies her identity, but the mystery was finally unraveled. THE NEW YORK INVESTIGATION. The following report of Aug. 8 of the New York WoRLpD’s representative givesthe story: Mrs. Elizabeth Beaton’s connection with Cicero Harrison Case covers a period of five or six years, when she and her family occupied a house on the farm of old man Case, who then lived in Burlington. The old man, accompanied by his dauch- ter, Mrs. Catherine Wallace, and his grand Gaughter, left Burlington for the Sunny South, where he thought he had extensive interests in a gold mine, on Oct. Blast. They went to Norfolk, Va., and they settled in Brambileton Ward, a suburb of that city. Before they had been in Norfolk many days & strange woman appeared in that city and stopped at the bording-house of Mrs. Wm. Smith on East Main street. The next day she located Case, but instead of calling on him sent a note enn atime and place for an interview.

She remained away unt!l July 4, when she re- turned with anewred leather trunk, and was fitted out, as one of her neighbors said, **in fine style.

She was able to pay her railroad fares and other expenses from New York to Baltimore from Baltimore to Harrisburg, Pa., ani thence to Williamsport, Pa., Rochester, N.

The woman hunted up young Culpepper and he accompanied her to Port Norfolk. She did not approach the house, however, but sent the young man with a message to Case to meet her at the ferry wharf at Portsmouth the next morning at 8 o’clock. When the message was delivered to the old man he became much excited, but yet seemed unable to resist the demands made upon him. He keptthe appointment, and on Monday afternoon left the city, not even tell- ing his daughter where he was going. TRAVELED UNDER AN ALIAS. Subsequent developments show that on that afternoon Cicero Harrison Case and Mrs. Thompson’’ sailed for Boston, Mass., via Providence, on one of the Merchants’ and Miners’ line steamers. On Tuesday, June 29, they returned from Boston on the steamer hssex of the same line, having been regis- tered as C. Harrison and wife, occupying Stateroom No. 8 On that steamer there was a quarrel, for on the day previous to the vessel's arrival at Norfolk the stewardess discovered the woman im her room in tears. Upon arriving: at Norfolk, Va.. Mrs. Thompson’’ went to the Hotel Gladstone where she registered as Mrs. C. Harrison.’ The old man did not stop at the Gladstone, but went to his nome in Port Norfolk, first obtaining a balance of about $900 from Bur- russ’ Bank. The same day he gave his granda- daughter his gold watch and a roll of money, containing $289, and that afternoon again disappeared. Thatday he went on board the steamship Guyandotte, and took passage for New York under the name of C. Harrison. Shortly before the hour for the steamer to leave Norfolk a woman went on board, and, approaching the old man, said she had no money. she got from him $10, with which to urchase a ticket for New York. She gave er name tothe purser as Mrs. bary Oll- ver.“ and represented herself as the wid- owed daughter of Cicero Harrison, She was assigned to room No, 26, whilethe old man was placed in room No. 10 on the saloon deck with Moses Levy, adry-goods merchant, of No. 108 Halifax street, Petersburg. MR. CASE SHOWS A ROLL OF BILLS. While he was in his room the old man showed Levy arollof bills aggregating $655. That night, or the next morning—the hour was about 2a. m.—while the steamship was off Chincoteague, Va., the old man disap- peared from the deck.

Alexander Brown, one of the colored waiters on the boat, saw the old man standing up against the ral beside his steamerchair, He appeared to be sick, but not seriously so: Ihe next morning, when Mr. Case did not appearat the breakfast table, there was much alarm on board. is stateroom was searched, and it was found that he had not retired there duringthe night. Noneof his in the room, save s walking-cane and a pair of cuffs. His money was gone. MES. BEATON DID NOT GRIEVE. The woman was not disturbed when she heard that he was lost. Capt. Walker says hat all the time he talked with her about the old man’s disappearance, she was Jaughing, P . 2 > 5 5 * N a i ~ 4 ” * eo — 3 . * > * 7 j Two days previous to that Case floated ashore at Metonken Beach, Va., a point five miles south of Chinco- teague, where he was supposed to have fal. len overboard from the ship. The body was positively identified by Mr. Case’s daughter, Mrs. Wallace, who accompanied the correspondent to the place. On the body were the trousers, shoes and shirt, but not acent of money or any other article was found in the pockets. The body was buried on the beach, MR. CASE AND HIS MONEY, Cicero Harrison Case, who was 78 years of age when he died, was for many years a car- riage builderat Strathroy, Ontario, where he accumulated some $25,000. He retired about filteen years ago and moved to Bur- lington, Ontario, where he had begun mak- ing investments in real estate mortgages and lending money to neighboring farmers on their crops. While living in Burlington he had fora tenant Mrs. Beaton and her husband. The woman remained his tenant for about four years, and itis presumed that it was at that time Mrs. Beaton began to secure possession ofhis money. Theold man made frequent trips to Rochester, and when he was away on these trips the woman generally found some excuse to take her to Michigan, as she said. Last October Case moved to Norfolk and car- ried away what money he had left. At Bur- ress’ Bank, in Norfolk, he had $3,100, ana at the Marine Bank some $34,500 on deposit. Whenever he jeft Norfolk on one of his trips with the woman he drew from $50 to $1,000 and itis probable that Mrs. Beaton secure all of this amount while off with him. TRACING THE WOMAN. It was not until several days after his death that the identity of the old man became known, so successfully had the woman cov. ered her tracks. Now itis believed that she used her young babe for the purpose of black. mailing the old man, On every trip she made tothe Southern States she returned with considerabie money. It was the purchase of a building lot at Burlington which ted to the discovery of the woman’s identity. On Monday she sent a notification to Wililam Oliver of Bur. lington, from whom she purchased her build- Ing lot, stating that she had taken posges- sion of the property. To this letter she signed ber name Elizabeth Beaton. HER HANDWRITING COMPARED. The WortD had traced the woman from Norfolk to New York, thence to Baltimore, thence to Harrisburg, thence to Williams- port. Rochester and Burlington, but did not now her real name. At burlington it was found that Mrs. Beaton had been absent from her home at the times when rs. Oliver’’ and **Mrs. C. Harrison’’ were with Mr. Case down South, and then her former acquaintance with Case in Burlington came to ight. Mr. Oliver volunteered to show the letter which he had received irom urs. r and the handwriting was compared with that of an address which Mrs. Ollver’* wrote down and gave to Capt. w rofthe steamship Guyandotte the day after Mr. Case was drowned. The hand- writings were those of the same person. FACED BY A WORLD MANX. When the WORLD man who saw ‘Mrs. Oliver’’ on the Guyandotte in New York on July 1 Called on Mrs. Beaton at Burlington, he saw at once that geet same woman Who had lied to him about be- Case’s married daugbterand abot a n other things concerning & T. dead old man and about his and ber 8 - . ge ea relations prior to the fatal trig dotte.

Statement Which Has Been Forwarded to the Senators and Representatives of Missouri—Regretting the Demonetiza- tion They Think It for the Best—Joseph Fratwklin’s Views on tue FPresent anak The business men of st. Louis have spoken their views on the financial situation. Last nighta statenient signed by many of the leading firms of the city was forwarded to the two Senators and fourteen Congressmen of Missouri, which will leave them in no doubt as to the manner in which the business community of st. Louis thinks they should vote at the special session in order to secure such legislation as will restore confidence. The statement was as follows: St. Lovis, Aug. 4, 1893. To Hon. Francis M. Cockrell and Hon. Geo. G. ' Vest, United States Senators for M 0 And to Hon W. H. Hatch, Hon. U. S. Hall, Hon. Alex, M. Dockery, Hon. D. D. Burns, Hon. J. C. Tarsney, Hon. John T. Heard, Hon.

Morgan, United States Repre- sentatives for Missouri: We, the andersigned wholesale merchants of St. Louis, Mo., destre to express to you our opinion, as follows: We believe that the compulsory purchase of silver under the so-called Sherman act is the principal cause ofthe distrust and want of confidence, now 1 in mercantile and financial circles throughout the United States, by which Dusiness of all kinds 18 brought almost to a stand-still, manufactur- ing establishments are shut down,credits are frightfully contracted, laboring men in enor- mous numbers are 2 of employment, and failure is close at hand to many enter- prises, thoroughly solvent under ordinary conditions. We believe that nothiag is more necessary to all men, of whatever occupation or station in life, than an absolutely exact and steady measure of value, guarded in every possible way from fluctuations of all Kin 6. Normal financial conditions will not return,and cannot be expected, until definite assurance is given to lenders by Con- gress, that payment of debts, now existing or to be created, will be made in money of equal value with that which they lend. We believe that further additions to our circulating medium of silver coin or of paper money based upon silver would, under pres- ent conditions, be ruinous to the business prosperity of the country, and that imme- diate action by Congress, now about to as- semble, is imperatively necessary to relieve the great tension now existing in the finan- cial world. We regret the demonetization offsilver, but feel that the United. States cannot with pru- dence continue a vain attempt to uphold its price against natural conditions and against the united opposition of other civilized na- tions. We therefore call upon you as the repre- sentatives of our State in Congress to use bie.. legitimate means to bring about the immediate, absolute and uncondi- tional repeal of the sliver-purchasing clause of the Sherman law, being fully satisfied that other features of the monetary situation are, in this emergency, of secondary import - ance,and should be deferred until the regular session of Congress, when. sufficient time shall have been afforded for more thorough and mature consideration of the great prob- lem of the reconstruction, upon a sound and permanent basis, of our colnage and cur- rency system.

Barr Dry Goods Co., whose article on the financial question was presented in the SUNDAY Post-DIsPaTcH atew weeksago and attracted general at- tention. ] There seem to be some very confused 0. P. G.

The farmer will give, say two bu wheat, the cattle-raiser one calf, the shoemakerone pair shoes, or the dry goods merchart ten yards domestic, the mechanic one day’s labor. To put this single ideal standard into prac- tical operation, so that the farmer who wants to exchange ten bushels wheat for shoes, cattle, dry goods, labor, etc. (as he may need same), it is necessary to have what are called currency dollars that the can hold, and have redeemed in k 8 8, dry labor, etc., that he co gotten for his tem bushels of wheat, same was exchanged in direct barter. At the values set down above the ten bushels of wheat would sell for five of the agreed standard dollars, and it was originally in- tended that these five currency dollars could buy say, five calves, five pair shoes, fifty yards domestic, or five days’ labor. Kvery article in the country being divided up by standard dollar values, or portions, the far- mer should be able to get five of them for his — bushels of wheat, or its currency equiva- ent. This you see makes the single standard by which everything is compared and valued with everything else. The ideal currency standard dollar only differs from every other dollar, into which every valuable article in the country is di- vided, by the fact thatit is wanted and can be used by everyone. Some people want commodity dollars sometimes, and some people want commodity dollars all the time, but all the people want currency dol- lars all the time—therefore their extra de- sirability. This extra demand is marked by what is called the rate of interest, which varies as the currency standard is more or less in de- mand. Let us suppose everything in the country (that can or may be exchanged) is divided off according tothe single standard, and the exchanging of same is being carried on with acertain number of currency dollars. The number of these currency dollars will decide the quantity that will be given in each of the commodity dollars. If, say in the course ofa year, 6,500,000,000 exchanges were made (that is 100 for each person in the country) and each exchange averaged $10 ($65,000,000) and all could be done easily with 1,600,000,000 currency dol- lars, then the relation between the currency medium and the amountto be exchanged that year would be correct, or, as We say, normal. By easily done is meant thatthe currency dollars necessary could always be procured by paying the normal interest. The next year it would also be correct, pro- viding there was no increase in the number or amount of exchanges. If there was an in- crease or decrease it would require more or less curréncy dollars to make them. Ifthey are not supplied then a new adjustment takes place between the commodity dollar and the currency dollar. Ifthe exchanges increase and the currency does not, the tendency will be to put a larger quantity into the com- modity dollar, so as to reduce the number to be exchanged, andthus bring the exchange within the possibility of being done with the number of currency dollars in existence. To illustrate, let us say the total amount of exchanges has increased 10 per cent the sec- ond year over the 6,500,000,000 of year before, while the currency dollars still remain 1, 600. 000, 000. There would almost immediately be put into each commodity dollar 10 per cent more so that everything in the country would still be divided into 10 per cent less commodity dollars, and so the number to be exchanged woulda keep the proportion. The reverse of all this of course would be true, if the exchanges diminished and cur- rency remained the same. E. g. there would be 10 per cent less put in each commodity dollar, and thus increase their number to required proportion. it is self-evident that the same kind of ad- ust ment must take place, if, for reason ine number of currency dollars are increased or diminished, out of portion to the num- ber of commodity dollars, into which every - thing is divided for exchange. Keeping the number of these ct lars in un varying an adler, to the ing of the com — to be — — aoe a the Government, people.

To illustrate. There may be other factors at work to change the quantity tn a commod- ity dolar without changing the number of same, If a shoemaker could make one pair inaday and piace his labor at $3, he would value that shoe at three cOmmodity dollars, but suppose he has discovered a way to make two pair in a day and, through compe- tition, he offers them say $3, it is evident the number of commoaity doltars are not in- creased, but that a double quantity is given. Ittakes the same numberof currency dol- lars to make the exchanges, Dut the holder 2 them gets a doudle quantity f he wants shoes. Again, supposing that at the time ofthis transaction, the normal relation between the number ofcurrency and commodity dol- lars had been destroyed by an excess of ex- changing, ora natural increase of pula- tion and wealth, without a corresponding in- crease in currency, then our shoemaker, like pape? Amy A else, would have to put a greater quanity into the commodity dollar, repre- senting the shoe, and all other things in this country. ; It is now easily seen that the party who loaned currency dollars when of them represented one pair of shoes could get with said dollars two nalr when the currency was —— back to him (for the shoemaker had oubled the quantity by improved methods of manufacture). He also gets a further quantity, equal to the abnormal difference caused by reduction of currency standard or increase in exchanges. Thus we see the creditor would get an in- crease of commodities in two ways, to one of which he is certainly not entitled, because the Government should keep an equal rela- t ion between the number of currency stand- ard dollars and the volume of exchanges they haveto make. The creditor was paid for use of his money by interest. The modern system of exchange compels the keeping of vast reserves of everything, so that when particular thingsare wanted by the millions (by whom they are not made or owned) they can at once be delivered on pre- sentation or tender of their currency repre- sentative. This system makes necessary exchanges of vast amounts at wholesale, and sorequires great numbers of currency dollars to be held by dealers in such ex- changes. For convenience and safety these dollars are keptin Danks, where they are suppo to be safe and proeurable when wanted. Experience s proved that when a Dank gives reasonable security, by owning a cer- tain amount of commodity dollars of its own andacertaip amount of curreacy dollars, li will never be asked by those having currency de its for more than isalways ready on c A system of offsetting all the carrency dol- lars drawn each day on account of one lot of traders by the currency dollars deposited on account of another lot of traders on same day, enables the banks to 1 1 with 90 per cent of the currency dollars that wou be utred if every exchange was repre- sented by the actual currency dollar. The only use for the actual currency dol- lar is to make the smaller exchanges, where checkers on banks are not Known, and asa reserve of about u to 4% of all the dollars due de itors at the banks. have now lI think touched upon almost every phase of the modern system of divid- ing everything in the country into ex- changeable divisions according to a single standard—the dollar.

It during the past five weeks there has been anywhere on earth a happier lot of children than those who have had possession of Tree View Farm in the Piasas the news- papers have not found them out. You know how beautiful the world is—that plain portion you have deen accus- tom to—when after weeks of sick- nes ou hobble weakly out of your roo to look about.

Inthe pictures of life on Tree View farm there are no interiors. ‘*What’s in the tent?’’ avisitor asked a youngster, playing in front of the flaps. Don't know.“ **Don’t you live there?“ **‘Naw. I just sleep there.“ There are swings in various portion of the ground, in which all the children delight. 4 Most of them are new to the device, and one dot the attendants recently found a little girl im one wriggling to move it and crying bit- terily, **What’s the matter, little one?“ Maggie Murphy's put a hoo-doo on this ' Swing, and I can’t make it go.“ The attendant started her on the upward fight, and soon she was as happy asa bird, clinging tight to the popes, soaring aloft and _ rushing ba ck, **Sa-ay, mister,“ she called, as she swung, Won't you lend me your rabbit-heel when : you go War!“ "Phe girl who did not live in st.

A great deal of interesting information 18 contained in Poor’s manual of the railroads ofthe United States for the year 1892. This year was not remarkable for the increase in the mileage of rail roads, falling far behind some previous years, notably 1882 and 1887, when the increase of mileuge was 11,569 and 12,878 respectively. The increase in i892 Was 4,428 miles, which exceeded that of 1891, when 4,089 miles of track were laid. ‘The total railroad mileage of the country at the close of 1892 was 175,224 miles. The assets ofall railroads including eleva- ted roads, were $11,481,584,882, and the lla- bilities $11,088, 933, 606, givin“ an excess of assets over lNiabilities of $892,651,276. The total troffic revenue was $1,205,272,025, and the operating expenses $846,683,608, leaving the net earnings 8368,68, 520. The total available revenue was 1478, 258, 066, and the total payments were $417,861,702, leaving an excess of available revenue of $55, 396, 363. The percentage of miles laid with steel rails as against fron rails was 82.6. The passenger trafic was the heaviest on record. During the year 575,769,678 passengers were carried 18,697, 363, 804 miles, and the fares paid aggregated’ $293,557,476. The avegage receipts to the mile were 2.148 cents and the average recetpts to the passenger were 50.99 cents. The average distance traveled by the passengers was 23.79 miles.

There are signs of late that a bange is workiug in that direction. Not much worse conditions bave existed in Dnancial affairs than were those of this past week. The dally list of failures among banks and mercantile and manufacturing concerns has been lenzthy and the amounts involved enormous. In the East and New England more particularly manufactories and mills ha ve been closing down, throwing an army of workmen out of employment. And the week wound up with one of the worst bank statements from New York that has yet been issued. Yet, after breaking all records last Monday, when Aug sold here at bee, Sept at sene and Dec at Sanc, the week closes with Aug 2%c and the more deferred months e above the pre- ceding Saturday. Yesterday’s close was dene for Aug, 59%c for Sept and 7e for Dec, There is substantial evidence in their late sharp advance that stocks have gone into strong investors’ hands, and have about shaken loose from the bear traders who 80 Jong controlled and directed their course. The same change is evidently working in wheat, the low price, as in stocks, having attracted investment buying from domestic and foreign operators. Speculation has not fully nor near awakened tothe situation, and it appears to be an impossibility to at- tract it freely, while finances are in sucha demoralized state. The present situation reminds one forcibly of 91, when specula- tion could — regara the enormous crop of wheat this country raised, overlook. ing entirely the great shortage tothe Euro- ncrops. How gradually then the mar- et gotaway from the short seller, finally culminating in a grand upheaval in price that blew every short out of his deals with heavy losses in every This wheat market may act precisely that way, with this difference, that speculators who now cannot look at anything but the Nnancial situation, will allow prices to work higher and higher, until when they get about ready tocatchonthe rush tobuy will be so at that the market vill run away from them and leave them far Dehind. .

Now the drought and hot weather has extended West and reports of corn firing badly, that have lately arrived from Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky, may be heard from the great corn States, un- less the present weather conditions change. Enough uneasiness has been felt to excite considerable demand from shorts and hold sellers off, and the price has gone up over 2c. Last Monday Aug sold at 84¥%ec, Sept at 34%c and year at 88e, and at close of yesterday Au was held at setze, Sept had buyers at 87c an year sold at dc. Ihe country West ao not apoear to be alarmed as yet over crop pros- pects, as they are asking for bids for cash and some sales have been made to come here as low as Sic. Except some purchases of No 2 and No 2 white by an Atiantic seaboard exporter, and who took in all about 160,000 bu. and the load - ing out of 198,000 bu to go by barges to New Orleans for Kuropean shipment, there was little doing inthe cash market. These ex- port takings were enough, however, to re- duce the stock materially and yesterday only 159,000 bu was in store, of which 5:,000 was No 2. Receipts, too, have been large, 571,845 bu against .265 bu the week before. The loca and order demand was Very light, but prices improved. Yesterday’s rates were 864% for No 2, 360 for No 2 white and 84c for No 8 do, but Nos not salable at 84c. — — The oats market has been distinguished by strenth, even when wheat and corn were most depressed early inthe week. Although future trading continues light, speculative attention is turning more and more tothe long side of oats, and considerable interest isnow being manifested. The factis that the crop is notturning out near as well as had generally been expected, and late re- ports from lowa and Nebraska are particu- larly bad. ‘The eats is turaing out to light and chaffy and the yield not near up to for- mer years. In sections of Iowa the crop is yielding only 10to15 bu to the acre and is weighing as low as 20ibs tothe bu. There has been a good deal of damage done by rust, and Nebraska in particular has sulfered thereby. In conse- quence of these unfavorable reports the trade is beginning to realize that there will not be many Noz oats, and this has arouseda bullish sentiment. Farmers are stacking their oats and are in no hurry to sell, yet there has been an increase in the movement of late, which is natural at this season. The improvementin prices during the week was nearly 2c per bu, and yester- uay’sciosing was 24cfor Aug and zit fcr Sept. Receipts during the week were 210.275 bu, which was an increase of 92,895 over the week before, but with all this the stock in- creased only 11,392 bu and is now 34,700 bu, of which 9,600 bu is No2. There was a 300d shipping and feeding demand throughout the week and all Offerings were pretty well cleared up. Yesterday nice No 2 sold at 28c and No8 at 24c, new Nos white at 29@30c and old at sic. * * * Most traders look for a deterioration in the condition ofthe oats cropinthe next Gov- ernment report. The condition on July 1 this year was 88.8 and on Aug I last year it Was 86.2. Returns have been so bad of late from the principal oats growing States that itis thought that the conditi n will be much reduced inthe forthcoming report, and that it will be low enougno to bull the market materially. * 8 ® There has been no material change in the condition of the flour market. Trade was slow, as millers did not caretoforce sales under the present condition of fnances. The domestic trade buys fiour only as it is needed, the only improvement noticeable coming from the Southeast, but taken alto- gether was light. There was, however, a fair demand for foreiga account and a good teal more couid have been done had millers been disposed to Sell tor forward delivery at present prices. The difficulty in negotiating foreign ex- change and the scarcity of ocean tonnage continues to work against the export trade. The stock of flour on Aug. 1 was 52,600 bbis, as compared to 59,686 a month ago and 71,680 a year ago. Inspections during July, 24,701 bbis, of which , were grade and 23,409 not graded.

Keceipts for the week were 8,126 tons,against 2, 705 tons the week before, and shipments 892 tons, against 869 tons. Receipts and of- ferings of new timothy, and especially of de sirable grades—choice and better—were light, and, as the demand was mainly for this class of hay, a firm market ruled, and on the extreme top grades, a slight advance was usually oDtained. On the low grades and all that showed any signs of heating, re- gardiess of wy otherwise, the market was dull, and the few transactions reported Gally were at very low prices.

The situation in regard to switching charges as described by an elevator man: ae eenaing Monday, Aug 7, grain arrivin over the Wabash and K line is delivere toelevators on their tracks—the Farmers’, Merchants’ and st. Louis, the last two part of the United Elevator aystem—without any switching charge, while cars to be unloaded in either of these elevators arriving over the Missouri Pacific, lron Mountain, Merchants’ Bridge, Wiggins Ferry or the Wabash charges $1.50 per car. On all cars loaded out of these elevators their The Iron Mountain charges an arbitrary of $1 per car for switching on the every car loaded from local stations on their road. All other roads deliver all cars to the end of their tracks tree of awitching charges. Cars arriving over the Wabash, ‘*K’’ Line, destined to elevators on the Missouri Pacific have to stand an arbitrary switching charge the private elevators on their tracks $8 per car. Cars arriving on the Colorado road can go into the Union Depot Elevator free, but must pay $2 extra to reach elevators on the Missouri! Pacific tracks. Cars arriving in East St. Louis for elevators there, when not going into eleva- tors on the lines which handle them are sub- ected to an arbitrary of $1.50 to the Wiggins erry Belt Road. In all cases where cars ar- rive from competing territory the roads bringing them pay the switching arbitraries and on such as come from local points the elevators pay it. The grain never pays it, except the Missouri Pacific, $2 on cars from the Colorado road. Cars loaded out from the Miesourt Pacific elevators have all to stand the $2 and $3 arbitrary. The outgoing charge in all cases is against the grain. From the Street.

Such meth. ods are simply a sample of overtrading, and are reprehensible although not so notorious as when indulged by the heavier weights of the mercantile world. . = * The tight money market prevails with greater intensity on the Pacific Coast than in this section, and fruit dryers and canners have great difficulty in getting the usual ac- commodations from their banks, and as labor, Cans, packages, etc., are all cash items, the result must be light packing, and California canned fruit may be a luxury next winter, although the shipments of green fruit may be larger this summer for the rea- son that it costs less to prepare fruit for mar- Kketin its green state, and the proceeds are more quickly realized. Cold storage, which wasarvre thing only a few years ago, seems to have become indis- spensable to the dealer in perishable goods, and in additional to several large establish- ments who make a business of keeping such goods cool for local dealers, there art nu- merous private refrigerators made to hold a car-load or more, The piping of cold air from a central sta- tion seems to be gaining headway, and nu- merous saloons and restaurants dispense with the services of the ice man in this manner, but the pipe lines are not extended to the fruit and produce districts and such dealers must still rely on frozen water, which by the way is quite cheap this season. A paper is being eirculated and generally signed OF fruitand produce shippers agree- ing to sell everything for prompt cash; this does not mean net 80 days or 10 days, but re- mittance on receipt of goods, and since banks are not loaning any money it seems that such termsare necessary. Besides fruits and roduce are bought and sold for cashin car ots, and all first hands must put up their dust“ at once, and why not ask their cus- tomers to do the same? This document also agrees to refuse orders when routing ts arbitrary, shippers reserv- ing privilege of using the quickest rallroad, and when buyers insist on using some road that is notorious for slow time and poor icing facilities, the sale will be declared off. — The market for Missouri watermelons (this being the only kind now offered) opened up well early in the week, all indications point- ing toa fair demand and at remunerative prices. The large increase in receipts from day to day, with a large majority of the mei- ons running inferior, being too small and green for shippers to take, had a very sick- ening effect on values and prices tumbled steadily until yesterday the majority of re- ceipts would not bring charges, and, in fact, foralarge number of cars there was abso- lutely no sale atany price, The present con- dition ofthe market will cause those inter- ested in marketing the large crop of Missouri melons heavy losses to start in with, but if quality and quantity are looked to in next week's shipments a better state of affairs can be expected, as a very shipping and order demand exists for choice wat ripe stock, and growers snould be caretul in their selections and send none but such mel- ons forward, * * * Of the butter market probably the less said the better until Elgin hes its say, for it can- not be dented but it leads the dealers here as though witha chain, regardless of the fact that une batter the equalof any Elgin can uce, is being made in many more sec- ions of the country now than formerly.

When it became known to Mrs. Grant and the President that the attentions of Mr. Sartoris meant marriage there was a Geep sense of disappointment. The President, ins ing onthe sabject tea friend, ina most ling manner expressed regret that the object of his daughter“ affec- tions was not an American citizen, the humbilest in the land, he said, ‘‘rather than the subject of a foreign state.“ He tried to his daughter from what he regarded asso mistakenastep.

However, this was not known at once. Some time after she went to England to live this cheerful account of her situation and sur- roundings came back: “If anybody imagines Neliie Grant Sar- toris is dying of homesickness for the friends, scenes and associates of her happy girlhood he is vastly mistaken. Mrs. Sartoris is more than contented with her English home. She could not be induced to livein the States again. In America she would be plain Mrs. Sartoris, the daughter of an ex-President while abroad she is honored, courted an worshiped as a sort of daughterof an Amer- ican king and the descendant of the greatest warrior the new world has ever known. Her ition in society is enviable. Her country ome is beautiful, she moves in an exclusive set, selects her friends and has the air, ap- pearance and account of an English thor- cugnbred.““ Ihen came reports of domestic discord, Vague and vigorous denial at frst, Dut after- ward confirmed. A woman in high social standing in Washington wrote back: We have been Visiting near the Bartoris estate and have had many opportunities for observing the state of affairs in the family. She an American girl, I nat interest in her and tried to discover it the cruel stories circulated in regard to her domestic life were true. The poor girl tries to hide it the best she can, but her husband s0 openly and avowedly disregards her wishes that itis common talk in the neigh- borhood. It has been said that old Mr. Sar- toris was very wealthy. A lawyer here tells methat his son somehow managed to get hold of the larger part of the wealth and has, in the language of the world, ‘blown it in.’ It was not more than a month ago that Nellie was Ul with a slight fever, I believe, and her husband was off some where. Of course they telegraphed him to return home, and the answer came back that he was of with a rty of friends and that it would be impossible for him to return home immediately. He would endeavor to get back in the course of two days. Nellie réceives a remittance from home every month, with which she pays her expenses and most of those of Sartoris. He never earns a cent and the money he gets is a beagarly allowance. Sartoris, who was described asa rough, cross-grained Englishman, was said to be more than wanting in respect to his amanced bride before marriage. After the r — his return from St. once called upon the married husband sai he could not about him of the States to tall in love with and marry him. Gov. Jewell agreed with him. When be mar- ried, was about 28 1 o1a, but seemed to be totally devoid of any idea of how to take care of any one but himself, and his poor little bride, who was seasick ali the time on the voyage to land, must have had a most unhappy oney moon. Mr. Sar- toris’ father, Rad ward ris, ha rom the first devoted to her and has kept her with him as much as possible. He lived on his own property in the country near Southampton, England. He was a very talented man, when iu his prime having a voice and being a good ama- teurartist. He was very well off at the time of his son’s marriage and had previously been a member of Parliament. During the last iliness of Gen. Grant he longed to see his Nellie. The misfortune of her lot had embittered his life even more than his business troubles, It was only with much persuasion that she was permitted to return even on such asad errand of duty toa parent. But her children—Algernon, Edward, Vivian, wy de Rose Mary—to whom she had been 80 devoted as to endure everything, were not allowed to come with her; in fact, were held, it might be said, as hostages for her return. It ts doubtful, had they been with her, if she would ever again have left her native land and the shelter of her mother’s roof. Military Surgeons at Chicago.

That’s What's the Matter Withea Bicycle Rider Who Is Stoop: Shouldered. There is no axiom of art under which such a name as kyphosis bicyclistarum’’ can be considered beautiful, says the New York Tribune. Speak it as you will, it is an offense to tongue and ear. But that very fact demonstrates its fitness for existence and tor use. An ugly thing should have an ugly name. And if human perversity has in- vented anything much uglier than that tor which this verbal cacophany stands, the fact is not recorded in the annals of the closing century. Unhappily, the thing Itselt is not as unfamiliar as its name, but obtrudes its detormity upon the outraged eye in every hour, at every turning. It is one of the characteristic evils of the age, and in the name ofits multitudinous yictims, subject- ive and objective, requir immediate and severe repression. ‘*Kyphosis bicyclistarum,’’ then, being interpreted, is ‘‘bicycle-rider’s stoop.”’ and what that is none but the blind willask. Many men, we might perhaps say the majority of men, especially if they be young, on learning.the graceful and useful art of bicycle riding, appear to forget that they were made in the image of their maker and intended to be physically upright. In- stead they diligently seek to transform them- selves into the image of some creeping thing. The bead goes down, the is humped the arms assume the position of forelegs and the once erect and graceful Antinous becomes a wretched travesty of Quasimodo. Upon aesthetic grounds alone no reproba- tion of this attitude can be too strong. There is no uglier object outsideof a freak museum than even the handsomest young man bend- ing in colicky curvature over a steering · bar. But otherand graver considerations arise. The chest is contracted and the lungs cramped, the spine is rmanentiy curved and perhaps otherwise injured, and thus not only are the good erfects of bicycle riding pre- vented, but positively e effects are brought about. Phys highest stand testify curvature posteriorly, once rare, now alarmingly common, especially among young riders of the wheel. Itis thus an ac- tual and most serious fact that this perver- sion ofa most beneficent gift threatens the world witha race of narrow-chested and humpbacked mens Ugly and pernicious as this habit is, itis no less unnecessary. In racing a wheefman may bend forward 80 as to offer the less resistance to the air, as one walking stoops low when facing a furious storm. Kut otherwise there is no excuse for so doing. In ordinary wheelingan erect attitude gives one even better command of the wheel than does stooping, as the ele- ments of natural philosophy readily prove. Women who ride wheels do not stoop. They sit erect and gracetul. Yet they ride as se- curely and, in due proportion, as strongly as their brothers, Excursion to Their Employes.

Sullivan Sues for Divorce end Names a Co-Respondent— Receiver Asked for a Labor Paper— News ofthe Civil Courts. Yesterday Mac Donald & Howe brought suit in behalf of Albert Toich by his next friend John F. Fauestten against William Desmond, } Chief of detectives, The petition alleges that on July 6, 1892, as plaintiff was lawfully walking along and upon the public street, between Eleventh and Twelfth streets on Clark avenue opposite the Four Courts, the defendant negligently, recklessly, cCare- lessly amd unskilifully fred off a large pistol across the street. and a ball therefrom struck the complainant in his head and body, hitting him above the nose and penetrating the brain causing the loss of about a tea- spoonful of brain. The bullet yet remains in the brain despite the effortsof the most skillful physicians to dislodge it. By reason of such injury the plaintiff is permanently maimed and disfigured, and crippled and physically disabled for life. Complainant estimates that he has been damaged $10,000 worth. The circumstances of this shootiug will be readily recalied by people about the Four Courts, as the episode was a very exciting one. An enraged Texas steer bad broken loose from his companions and was disport- ing itself pretty lively about those corners, and policemen were out in force firing at it, among them, it is claimed, being genial Billy Desmond, the Chief of Detectives. It was not generally known whose bullet struck the boy, but McDonald and Howe assert that Desmond admits that his bullet hitthe boy. The shooting is admitted to have been purely accidental, whoever hit the boy, all the om - cers having fired at the steer to kill it, before it could kill some person on the street. It is a miracle that the boy was not Instantly killed, as the bullet passed directly through his brain, and it is another miracle that he dia not eventually die. Several surgeons were summoned, and after probing for the ball, could not extract it and permitted it to remain in the brain. The boy wasin courtyesterday. He showed some disfigurement in the face, but looked quite hearty for a boy with a bullet in his brain. Before Judge Valliant. Judge Valliant yesterday handed down several opinions and disposed of a quantity of business. Henry Saul of Austria was naturalized. Col. Dyer announced a settlement of the differences in the Moran Nut and Bolt Co, Hugh L. Fox et al. dismissed their bill, and the receiver, John Moran, was dis- charged. The bond of the assignee of B. F.

Evans and Richard High were appointed appraisers. The receiver in the partnership estate of Manion Bros. (saloon) was authorized to sell at private sale. Judge Valliant adjourned until next Thurs- day. Names a Co- Respondent. Jeremiah W. Sullivan desires to be devorced from Elizabeth Sullivan. They were married in May, 1876, and on July 10, 1893, he alleges that he left her, He charges her with adultery gith one Thomas Dunwiddy and with divers and sundry men to him unknown and she has been addicted to carousing and drinking with other men and meeting them on street corners to make appoint- ments with them. He desires also the cus- tody of the three children—Clara, 16 years; Wüliam, aged 14, and Thomas, aged 12. Want a Receiver. A receiver was asked for yesterday by F. Von der Fehr, L. P. Negele and Joseph O’Hara, trustees of the Tradesand Labor Union, for the Labor Herald, which they claim is being used against the union by one Sprad- ling, who owns two-thirds of it and who has usurped the editorial control. The Trades and Labor Union owns one-third. The de- fendant is cited to appear in court on Aug, 16 and show cause why a receiver should not be appointed. Wants $20,000 Damages. W. H. Bond sued Louis A. Pechmann and Julius F. Pechmann (Pechmann Bros.) for $20,000 damages, He says that the defendants drove into him with a delivery wagon, on t 8ist of March last, as plain driving a milk wagon, and knocked him down and bruised his right a and the ligaments thereof so badly that he is maimed and crip- pled for life.

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.—A queer scene took place on the Oasino roof garden last night. A well-dressed man of middle age came within an ace of getting mobbed. As it was he escaped with a storm of hisses and abuse and a very bad quarter of an hour. The row began when Depessell,the lightning sculptor, was doing his turn on thestage. Depessell was about half way through his perform- ance when, advancing io.the front of the Stage, he asked his audience to name some well-known character whosé features he should cast. The instant be began to speak a medium-sized man, who bad been sitting at one of the tables in the center of the gar- den, sprang to his feet and hurriea down the aisle toward the stage. As Depessell stoppea speaking the man shouted in a voice that could de distinctly heard in every part of the garden: Sho us our fat friend, Cleveland, the President and fisherman, who neglects Dis country’s wants. There was an instant’s pause while the audience seemed to be taking in the gist of the man’s remarks, Then unanimously from every part of the garden a storm of hisses broke loose. Many men present started to their feet. The whole audience took up the chorus: ‘‘Throw him out. Put him out.

NOT BE MET BY BANKS. Despite Feilures and Shut-Downs Stock Speculation Is Active and Boyant—The Liquidation Pressure Has Caesed— Hop; ful Signs for the Future. New Tonk. Aug. 5.—The present stock market calls for more than ordinary atten- tion, forthe reason that a movement that can only be described as buoyant is in prog- ress in the face of conditions that are far from reassuring. It is manifest that judging from these premises, one of two things 1s wrong. Either the speculation is ill timed and misjadged, or otherwise the gravity of the situation is overestimated and its force worn out, from aspeculative standpoint. It is always more or less futile to endeavor to reconcile the stock market to any given set of circumstances. The stock market keeps in advance of even the trend of general con- ditions. could make money. The latter proposition being a self-evident absurdity, it follows that certain forces are always potent in the market, the existence of which is known only toa few. When they become generally known they are called news. On this so- called news, the everyday speculator makes his trades. There are then latent forces which exist in the present speculation and which account for the strong market which has ruled on the Stock Exchange during the week, for even those days which have wit- nessed a decline in stocks can not be called weak when viewed retrospectively. They were characterized, each one of them, by an actual scarcity of stocks and the weakness was rather a withdrawal of support than a pressure to sell. There was always a certain undertone of strength that was noticed by the most observers, as is evidenced by the cover- ing of the larger class of bears. Perhaps the most characteristic feature of the market for the last ten days has been the almost total cessation of the general liquida- tion. This liquidation went handin hand with so fierce a bear movement that it tapered off without being noticed. The bears kept up their selling, confident of their position and ofthe weakness ofthe other powers in the market. This condition of things first became hoticeable when the stiffest kind of rates Were demanded for the use of stocks for borrowing purposes. Sim- ultaneously and when the market was apparently weakest came the heavy London buying which took 75,000 shares of stock out ofthe market and that buying, quiet but steady and eventually efficacious, of the small lots investor. For a day or two the short solling prevailed against these two, but the rope was all the time getting tighter, and the rebouna was inevitable. Itcameon Wednesday, when in a practically bear pinch prices rose sharply and the most astonishing advances were re- corded, The transactions were not heavy though, and the buying was not all for snort account, as was evidenced by the continued and still existing demand for stocks inthe loan crowd, With Thursday came realiza- tions, and the bears once more flattered themselves they were in control of the situa- tion. Theconditions were apparently just as bad, and so they pitched in again in their work of lowering prices. , The weakness Of their position and the fact that they are no longer monarchs of ali they survey was shown yesterday when despite a flood of bad news, Wednesday’s bear panic was again in progsess, and prices rose stead- lly from start to finish. To return then to the first proposition, what are the actual general prevailing con- ditions? Thereare still reports of failures, some of them serious ones, of shut-downs, lock outs, decreases of wages and all the con- comitants of a depressed condition of gen- eral business. Besides this the actual condi- tion of the banks which are the very heart of the business animal, is not good. Uneasiness and an over contracted credit prevail all over the country. The New York banks are at loggerheads with thoseof Chicago, Boston and Philadelphia. The banks of the two lat ter cities cannot remit current funds for thelr adverse balances withthe New York banks, and the — 2 ay banks, whose bal- ances consist partly of loans and largely of credit items in the shape of checks and drafts, are raising an unreasonable clamor for currency, after already having drained beyond the limits of good nature and reason their former credit. In another month the South and West will be calling for money to move their crops of grain and cotton, though the balances of the banks in these sections 40 not warrant any such assistance. In afford- lag the out-of-town banks and their local clients the vast amount of assistance already rendered, the New York banks bave had re- course to a larger issue of Clearing-house certificates than ever before put out. To cap this pyramid of unfavorable facts there is the premium on actual money now prevailing in all the large cities and the in- ability of the National Treasury to furnish even the whilom despised silver dollar. Surely it will be admitted here is a chamber of financial horrors. Since these are, how- ever, facts, that are apparent to everyone, and hence devoid of rea value to the specu- lator and investor, a summing up of these facts and a glance at the outlook are perti- nent. Insumming up the whole gist of the question les in the extent to which these conceded bad points have deen dis- counted. Securities are lower on an av- erage than in eight years. Some of them are selling at their lowest recorded prices. All of them are at prices that only a true prophet could have foretold six months ago. Why? It is not because of the very array of facts previously reported. Except for them would present prices pre- vall? It isa homely maxim that one cannot eat his cake and have it too. No end of sim- ilar aphorisms can be applied tothe existing situation equally pertinent. And yet the advocates of lower prices preach these old sermons and din them into the public ears and befog théir own intelligence without recognizing that the storm has really passed — to sea and that the dark, overlow- ering clouds are only the effects of exhausted meteorological conditions and not the cause for further disturbance. There never were better times ahead that did not have the blackest kind of adawn. The United States isa d, growing country.

A military postlike Fort Hamilton 1s al- ways full of surprises to the uninitiate1. One is to find that the innorent-fooking nhnillls out- side of the quadrangle are full of subterrane- an passages, and really are not hills at all. As there are no“ Keep Of the Grass“ signs sight-seers generally stroll up the gently rising greensward until they are suddenly confronted by a precipice of masonry with a sheer drop of forty feet, behind which for an eighth ofa mile a row of i6-inch mortars sit like a lot of bulldovs upon their haunches. Tuen it is realized that the innocent- looking slope of green verdure is in reality a terrible mortar battery and bomb-proof and one of the most important features of the fortification. A shot or shell to teach those Operating these mortar batteries would have to pass through fully one hundred feet stone that stands outin the water at the Narrows, is really only an adjunct to Fort Hamilton, It has been abandoned as a de- fensive work. Its walis are falling down and its guns have been removed. Fort Lafayette more than any other defense about New York has a h yo $ It was in times past both a military and political prison. During the civil war it was filled with Northern sympathizers in the cause of the Confederacy. It bas deen said that life ata military post Is a hard one. If such isa fact in the general case the sts about here are exceptions. The married officers have comfortable cot- tages to dwell in, the unmarried officers have just as comfortable quarters, while the non-commissioned officers and private sol- diers have quarters that would make any European soldier green with envy. Fort Hamilton has a fine — — and reading room attached to the pest. t also has a fine concert hall, where dantes are held and con- certs and theatrical entertainments given by the Post Glee Club and outside organizations. The services required of the enlisted men are not onerous and they have plenty ot time for amusement. None of them are required to do manual labor not connected with routine military duties, except prisoners who are under arrest for some offense against diset - pline. They are put to work shoveling earth and made to do all the drudgery about the post. MATCHBOX AND CAN JLESTICK. An Ingenious Novelty Which Paris Has Brought Forth.

It Fell in /igiers and Has Been Pur chased for the French Museum. Written for the SUNDAY Post-DISPATCH. The Natural Museum of Paris has recently acquired possession ofan aerolite which fell not long ago in Algiers, not far from Hassy- Jekna. The meteor weighs about 1,250 grammes, and is pear- shaped. Its outer surface, somewhat different from similar cosmic bodies, is smooth and polished.

Over the head of the man is a huge fan, whichis worked by strings connected with the pedais. This fan, dy means of aseries of cogs, goes round at a terrific rate of speed when the pedals are worked.

They can stop at any time, rise slowly or he ges 4 as they choose, go backward or forward, an In the picture 1 have drawn Ihave not shown the series of fans under and on the sides of the machine which will propel the pegasipede after the top fan has raised it into the air.

NEW 8QUARE DANCE. . The new square dance, adopted by the pro- fessors and placed by them in the category of innovations, is Prof. John Mahbler’s new two-step polka-quadrille, The figures and movements of both these time-honored dances are combined with much harmony, taste and beauty. The polka is robbed of Its toll, and the quadrille is pruned of its prosi- ness. The four couples form a set as fora plain quadrille and proceed as follows: 1. Nest four right and left, ladies chain, four polka; sides the same. ure Four ladies chain, gentlemen the same; dance twice through. gure 3—Ladies form a star, gentiemen join part- nere hend, poika and change places three times until to places, then all polka: gentiemen form a Star, ladies join hands and change places three times, then all polka.

He especially lays stress upon the temptations and perils to which young students of art and music are exposed in Paris, and es some good saree to ho Shap shoes bo avoid One of the most pleasing features of the work is the author's sturdy Americanism. He is not one of the Europeanized Americans, and holds this class in the most sovereign contempt. While an American can see with pleasure the ardent patriotism that pervades the work, it must be admitted that at times it is somewhat ex- aggerated. Few willagree with the author that a law should be passed prohibiting all women under 80 and all men under 88 from visiting Europe tor any ‘purpose whatever. He regards every American minister who does not show his contempt for monarchical governments in season and out of season as lacking in love of country. His hatred ofa title amounts to a monomania. It should be remembered that the mere fact that a man is born to a title does not necessarily prove that he is a de- bauchee and an imbecile. Few, however, would be inclined to disagree with the author inthe manner in which he expresses his scorn of tuft- hunting Americans, Few artists, on the other band, would be inclined to agree with him in the low value he places upon technique in art, and the advantages of a foreign education. It may be doubted whether he correctly rep- resents the average American student as being entirely unsophisticated and therefore liable through sheer ignorance to fall into thect ra ps laid for him by the wicked foreign- ers. Probably the large majority are either from large cities or are graduates from un! Versities, an by no Means so verdant as the author imagines. Of the lite led by Amer!i- can students in Germany the author admits that he knows nothing, but that does not prevent him from depreciating the value ofthe education given at the German un- versities. He believes, however, that Amer- icans in that country study hard, the reason given being that he cannot conceive it possi- ble th t anyone should visit Germany for purposes of pleasure, M.

The /fuwublishers’ Weekiy says: Maupassant was born at Chateau de Miro- mesnil, Aug. 51849. For seven years he was a clerk in the Navy Office in Paris, where he formed the acquaintance of Gustave appa: bert. His style was the fruit of the hardest work, and he learned from his master not to be animitator. His period of prouuc- u In 1880. After Flaubert’s sudden death Maupassant really came before the Paris public. His career was run between 1880 and 1892. His first real novel was Une Vie,’ regarded by many as the best of his writings. It was followed by ‘La Maison Tellier,’ ‘bel- Ami,’ and others. Bel- Ami, reached its forty -fifth edition, and it was after the pub- lication of this work that Vaupassant ac- quired a world-wide reputation. A lesion of the Drain—in a degree an hereditary affec- tion, for his brother died after losing his mind—a chronic gastric derange- ment and a prematurely worn- out nervous system cut short the literary career of Maupassant. His entitled ‘Le Horia,’ which shows in the per- son of its hero aman going through the Same stages of madness as marked the close of Maupassant’s career in 1892, brought forth the prediction froma distinguished Parisian physician of the ultimate fate ofthe great Frenchman, Perhaps the direct cause of his insanity was the free use of hasheesh or mor- phine. Chloral and ether were finally re- sorted to, for he was racked with neuralgia, and the approach of night threw him into unreasonable terror.

Eight bells! Rise and shine!’’ With some such yell as this is Jack roused from slumber when his watch has to goon deck. The houris 4 o’clock in the morning, and immediately tumbles out of his bunk, and within fAftéen minutes from the time he was called he is on deck Keeping his watch, hoping for 5 o’ clock to come, when he will take his hook-pot to the galley and get a cup of warm coffee. Ordinarily there is never any work done on board ship before 5:30, excepting, of course, such as is necessary for trimmingsall. At Reefing Topsail. 5:30 the order is given to Wash down.’’ The men take brooms and buckets along, two men go to the pump, and then begins the first work of the day, plenty of water being used, and those with brooms scrubbing the deck as they go from the poop to the fo’c’s’le head. The scrubbing is done with a thor- oughness that would shame the best nouse- wives. By 7 o’clock thé deck has been washed down, after which various ropes that have been put out of the way during the operation are coiled down clear for any emergency, for one of the most important things on ship- board is that every rope should be in such a shape that when it is let go it should run without getting any Kinks in it, which in some cases might have rather disastrous consequences. Jack is then put to work at such small jobs as are necessary, so that his time maybe occupied until eight bells (8 o’clock), when heonce more goes below for his breakfast and four hours’ rest. Meanwhile at seven bells (7:30) the watch below has been called to get breakfast. Jack’s breakfast, even in the best of ships, is far from elaborate. It generally consists of coffee, without milk, hard tack’’ and scraps of meat left over from the previous day's dinner. Jack is now off duty until noon. After he has had his breakfast he generally has some little odds and ends of things to do for him- self, and they keep him busy till about 10 o’cloek, when he turns im and sleeps till 11!s0, bis dinner hour, At 12 he is on deck again till 4 o’clock. The four hours’ time from4p. m. to 8 p. m. is divided intotwo watches, known as dog watches, though the dog watch is always reckoned as the watch from 6 to 8. When all the men are together they go in for their skylarking, music and dancing end for havinga good time generally. This is the time when Jack is seen at his best, when he is congenialand has not a word to say — anydo diy, not even against the cook, who may have spoiled his dinner that day. The object of this division is to make an even number of watchesin the twenty-four hours, so that there will be a daily change; 12 4 — ore 8383 ofthe monotony of the gallor’s life at sea.

As soon as the waten below come on deck the upper topsail yard is low- ered, the reef tackles hauled out, the splllin lines hauled up, and all hands go aioft to ree it. One of the best men gets out tothe weather yard arm and takes the earring, while the rest spread themselves along the yard to the lee yard arm. The order is xiven to Haul away to windwari,’’ and then be- xins the weird sing-song inseparable from por Be ergy sailor to help ail to pull to- er. The safl is soon reefed and the men are on deck again hoisting the yard, singing a **‘chanty’’ as they pull. When the necessa sailhas been taxen in and the ropes coil upthe watch goes below and the normal condition ef affairs prevalls once more. Shortening sail is, perhaps, the hardest work the sailor has to do. fren the canvas is new, andif it gets wet it becomes as stiff asa board and is very hard to furl. Some- times the Dunt-lines, leech-lines or other ropes used for hauling the sail close upto the yard will break, and then with the sail bellied out like a balloon, or else flapping in the wind, each flap sounding like the report of a cannon, it seems impossible to take it in. Jack, however, takes these things — 2 icdlly, always grumbling, but generally ao- ing his work with a will, Signaling at sea is one ot the bright s in Jack's life. When a ship heaves in sight there is always more or less excitement among the sailors, and should she get near enough tosignal,and the flags be brought out for that purpose, the excitement becomes somewhat greater, and ali sorts of conject- ures are made about the stranger. The system of signaling at sea has been broughttoa great degree of perfection. Marryatt's code was the original code in use, but some years ago an international com- mission was appointed to devise means of signaling which would not be so cumber- some as the code arranged by Marryatt, and the result was the present system, which is known as the international code. It consists ofa series of eighteen flags, representing the consonants inthe alphabet, from B to W, with acode pennant, which shows the codethatis used. By different combina- tions of two, three and four fag signals an almost infinite number of signals can be made, so that a conversation can be. carried on at sea between two ships, several miles apart, as easliy as between two ladies in a drawing-room. Tie character of the signal is determined by the numberof flags and the kind of fla uppermost. For instance, two flags, with square flag uppermost, is an urgeut signal, and a four-flax signal, with a square flag up- permost, is the name ofa ship, as in the ac- companying illustration. The fags repre- sented are K, C. 8 „ On turning to the signal book the following information Is gained: K, * 8, W., ship George Curtis of Boston, Mas§., 1,746 tons net register; official number, 85,568. The international code of signals can be read by any nationality, as signal books are in use in every language. At present an in- ternational commission is to be appointed to consider the advisability of adding two new Mags to the code, which, if done, would give nearly 50,000 new signals. It is thought that the old-time sallor is a thing of the past, that steamboats, which do not require men witha knowledge of seaman- shjp in all its ramifications, are making them die away, becaase it is sald that steamboats are fast taking the place ofsalling —— But facts do not bear out this view, as tue in- crease in the number of salling ships is as high proportionately as the increase in steamships. Further, with the exception of a few of the large liners, which do an almost exclusively passenger trade, the sailing sulp is to-day making more money than the steamer, and. this 1 because her ex- penses are infinitesimal in comparison with that of the steamer, — BOHEMIAN GARNETS. ; The Stones Furnish an Industry Which Eupports 10,000 People.

He says: In the winter of 1991 I was manager of the Athletic Club of the Schuylkill Navy and was endeavoring to get togethera gstrongteam. My orders from the directors were to remunerate no one, either directly or indirectly. A strong team was got together, but only after exceptionally hard work. Why did it take so long and why was the work so hard? Simply because it was almost impossible to secure players without remuneration. I remember when the Young America and Riverton clubs, names indelibiy stamped on the history of the game, were purely amateur clubs. What are they now? The Young America Club is buta memory, rendered so by bankruptcy brought ut by paying many players. The Niverton Club only last season withdrew from the Philadelphia Suburban League.

Hisjpublic career is not discussed, but he is shown as he appeared to his friends and family. Miss Watson is evidently a believer inancestry, for she takes great pains in proving that lor belonged to one of the oldest families in the country. In regard to — nickname by which he was known she writes: Old Rough and Ready’’ he was called during those early days, when Indian war- fare meant conflict in primeval forests on the Western frontier, through swam psand under- brush, with the fleetest and most treacherous of foes, and battle with the stilent climate in the marshesandunder the tropic sun of Fiorida. But this sobriquet has been to a certain extent misleading. The emer- neles presenting themselves during he most trying experiences found him ever ready for their demands. A slow fever of five. weeks’ duration did not keep him from the saddle a single day. With the heaviest odds in favor of the adversary, he was always ready for the fray, and, de- spite the odds, always held the field victori- ous. But rough he was not. He was utterly in- differentto pomp and ceremony, to maudy regalia or dress uniform. He was quiet in expression, strong in action, firm in pur- pose, unostentatious and modest in manner, dress, and poresass belon «ings—of the most incorruptible integrity and the most persist- ent loyalty to duty.

He holds that the statement that gold hasa fixed and uniform value all over the world is falla- clous. He argues thus: **When for any reason gold is drawn away from a country. the prices of commodities fall, which is only angther way of saying that the value of gold rises 1 the natural lav of supply and demand. ut not only do prices fall in proportion tothe de- crease inthe amount of gold, but far more because of the derangement of business and stoppage ot industries consequent upon the scarcity of money. -However this may be when the value of cOmmodities goes down to a very low point, the value of gold increases and the latier flows back again into the country. **This causes prices to increase ard the value of gold to decrease untilit has reachedthe extreme point of reaction, when the gold again goes abroad, causing another diminu tion of prices with the usual hardships and disaster attending such an effect. his is whatis meant by the gold advocates when they speak of the amount of money regulat ing itself, as it is said it always will on sound metallic basis.

When the long procession of carts was seen coming over the steppes, the young Count’s face fairly beamed. The muzhiks crowded to- gether, and were overjoyed at sight of the flour; but most of them had no idea of Amer- ica, or where it might be. One muzhik said to me, as he looked at the pile of flour- sacks: ‘America must be a very rich barin!’ Perhaps one out of a hundred has a faint idea of a country somewhere far. far away called America. s opened one of the sacks, the muazhiks crowded about us to look at the four and taste it. Their faces beamed with delight, anda general murmur of ex- altation was heard, Within a few days the six carloads of American flour were trans- ported to the Count’s headquarters and his different depots, and thus he was enabled to carry out his plans of daily feeding 20,000 of the most destitute.’’ Mr. Stadling states that those who en- deavor to ameliorate the conditions of the masses are suspected persous, and fortunate if they escape prison or Siberia.

W allace’s novel. The Prince of India, or the Fall of Constantinople, which will shortly be issued, renews attention to what is one of the most momentous epochs in European history, the siege and capture of Constantinople by the Turks. Constanti.ople.in 1153 was the Rome of the East. As the former had been the capital of the West, the latter had been the capital of the East. Shorn of all save a titular “ empire it still remains the center of religious thought of the East, the school of rhetoric, of letters, of philosophy, of theology. The Patriarch of Constantinople was practically the head of the church in the East as the Pope was the head of the church in the West. But the Pope woula not recognize the Patriarch’s leadership. He asserted his own supremacy over all Christendom. The Christian Church was rent in twain. There was not much dif- ference in dogma between the Latins and the Greeks, but this question of supremasy and deep-seated popular instincts rendered reconciliation difficult. Never- the less reconciliation seemed necessary to make foragainstacommon enemy. The Turks were.a threatening menace to Eu- r — 2 1 et at ae 2 8 1 * - 2 - PI E N : 5 5 > molten lead and tio besieged, as wel secret of wh > “Sot the et fring teatory of u 0 t was the biending together methods with the of more powe en tion.

He had lent a will. ing ear tothe advancesof the Turks, and had finally deen seduced out of them. Mahomet’s first inquiry was, Oan acannon be cast capable of throwing a dall or stone of sufficient size to batter the walls of Con- stantinople?’’ The engineer hadireplied in the affirmative. A foundry had deen established at Adriano- ple, and a great gun cast which discharged a anite nail of 600 pounds weight to a long istance. It is true that this gun caused more alarm than damage, and that during the siege it burst and killed its own maker. But the 149 smaller guns which had been cast in the same foundry and trained against the walls of Constantinople did most effective service. The Greeks, on the other hand, made small use of their cannon, though their musketry was brought into murderous play. The siege went on methodically and various assaults were repulsed by the Greeks. Ma- homet was surprised to find so much resist- ance. Every morning on ore he found that all the ravages done oy im on the previous day had been repaired by the Chris- tians. ‘*By the holy prapmet de once exclaimed, I could never ave believed that the Greeks could have performed such wonders in a single night.“ But the continued strife was gradually diminishing the little army of defenders. The places of the lost were not supplied. The bulk ofthe citizens, instead of rushing to the ramparts, flooded to theshrines where miracle-working virgins were kept.

When the last Emperor of the E as- cended the throne he found the Turks alfeady established in Thrace in a part of Thessaly, in Bulgaria, and on the western side of the Bosphorus. Twice had the Turkish Sultan, Arrowrath Il. besieged Constantinople. And though he had twice been beaten back it was only on account of his personal feebleness, not ofany want of prowess among his sol diers. They needed only a leader to carry them on to victory. That leader they found on the death of An nerath and the accession of his son, Mahomet II., afterward called the great. He was a very different man from hisfather. He wag only 2i when he ascended the throne. He was ardent, ambitious, violent. He was not quite a barbarian, for he loved poetry and painting; was well acquainted with the Greek, Latin, Arabic, Persian and Chaldic languages, and was fond of the society of learned men. But he was cruel, perflidious, cunning. The fury of his passions knew no restraint, and his licentiousness wasso foulas to be a matter of condemnation even in an age and among a people that were notorious for their licentiousness. He murdered all his brothers on the day of his accession to power, and with the maturer wisdom of his later years he obtained from hislegal advisers a formal sanction of the practice of imperial in- fanticide for his ‘‘illustrious descendants, in order to secure the repose of the world.’’ Then it is said he went on to murder certain ministers who had dissuaded his father from trusting him with power during his own life- time. He hated the Christians with all the ardor of Islam. He prepared himself at once for war. He promised the Janissarus con- uests and plunder, and be kept his word. is first move in the offensive was to construct near Galata, on the right side of the Bosphorus, a fortress which be nicknamed Boghaskesen, or cutthroat. It stood opposite a similar fort erected by Mahomet I., on the left bank. These two citadels, which are still in exist- ence, were intended to cut off the trade of the Levant with the Black Sea, tostarve out the inhabitants of Constantinople and to pre- vent ships from coming to the assistance of thetown. Churches were destroyed in order to furnish materials forthe cutthroats. The Christians who dared to complain of the sac- rilege were mercilessly killed. In vain the Greek Emperor complained of these atrocities. Mohamet answered in terms of insult and contempt.

The city was more than eleven miles in circumference, On the side of the sea it was defended by asimple wall; the other sides were covered by regular fortifications, towers and bastions. The Turkish army was immense, probably numbering some quarter ofa million men.

The siege had lasted fifty-two days and the city fad not surrendered. Then, on May 28, he announced to his army thata general as- sault would be made against thecity. He in- la med the Janissuries by promise of booty. He rode among the troops holding in his hand a golden battle-axe, and swore by the name of the prophet, by the name of his father, his children and his sword that Con- stantinople should be either his capital or his grave. The troops replied with loud acclamations, while the dervishes ran through the roads with the cry. Happy are those who will ob- tain the paim of martyrdom; but woe to the cowards who may or will think of fight.“ Meanwhiie inthe doomed city crowds of white hollow-cheeked men and women wan- dered about despairingly and crowded into the churches crying Kyrie eleison, Kyrie eleisop,’’ or, sinking on their Knees beiore the altars, prayed that the —— ag might deliver them from their enemies. ut they raised no arm for their own deliverance. Tne announced assault began at daybreak. | The whole of the Turkish artillery bombarded the town simultaneously from sea and land. It was not lony before a breach was made. The scaling-ladders were placed at the foot ofthe walls. The Turks were mounting the breach. Constantine, who had taken his stand at the gate of San Romano, fought like a lion. The Turks were being repulsed. Then Giustiniani, commander of his Genoese auxiliaries, received a wound in his hand. — craved the Emperor’s permission to re- re.

Besides, we are shut in on both sides, so that there is no place to retire.’’ **I shall go the way which God hath ap- pointed to the Turks,“ replied the other. and sO quitted his place of honor, and by one act of cowardice blotting a noble career. The retreat of Giustinian! caused general dismay. The Genoese took to their ships, and abandoned the unfortunate Emperor. But still he anda valiant handful of men fought on. The fight was hand to hand, Constan- tine fell in the carnage, and the confusion was such that his loss was not noticed at first. His body was found afterwards in a maas of corpses. The Turks were at last within thé city. The dying and the wounded flled the air with theircries and groans, while the non-combatant citizens fled to the Church of st.

When Antonin Dvorak formulated his very interesting theory that in the negro melo- dies we finda sure foundation for a national school of American music,’’ he probably dia not realize that he had started a discussion on nationalism in music that would be par - ticipated in by writers in every section of the globe. Dvorak, as bas been announced, has determined to put his theory into practice, and the themetic material of the symphony * * * ». largely of plantation tunes. Asa primary principle, the use ofthe folk songs of a spscified country, as a basis of compositions of the highest pretensions, is no novelty. Russian, Polish, Norwegian and Bobemian musicians have notoriously done so, and the matter is considered of so much impcrtance in Russia that at the University of st. Petersburg a chair of national music has. been founded, the professor being charged with the duty of tabulating folk songs and preserving them in their original and unadulterated form. ® The list of composers who have para- phrased folk songs in their compositions is a long one. Dvorak’s predilections for the national Czech melodies are well Known. Brahms has employed German ballads in his works, Dr. Stanford in his Irish symphony introduced ancient Irish tunes, and Dr. Creser, who is not as well known as he ought to be, has exclusively employed the melodies of old English songs in his new symphony just composed. Grieg, Svendsen and all the Slavonic composers have drawn upon the musical idioms of their respective coun- tries in act to give local color to their com tions. Sut there are many people who consider that nationalism in musicis a vague term. Thore are different ways of looking at the question. {f one will view the matter impartially it should seem clear that there are two utterly different modes of musical expres, modes which some writer has distinguished by the terms the way of the world and the way of a nation.’’ In all spots of the earth that are isolated from the unifying neg of modern civill- gation, in the vil , in the forests, in the mountains and d he sea, wherever men with similar and characteristic thoughts and radiations, habits and methods are gathered together, there grows up necessarily among them a system of musical expression which is subject to the influences of contact with other groups, and remains pure or is amend- ed, according to the measure of these influ- ences. Such music, as it grows and assumes — becomes what is generally known as nationa music. Butitis a thing guite apart from the music of the world. It bears to it the relation that dialects do to language. Na- tional usic is not untversal, for it ex- presses the emotions of humanity under spe- cial influences of locality and particular conditions of life. Among the many interesting contributions to this dicussion is ome by Mr. Alexander McArthur, who was formerly the private secretary of Anton Rubinstein. He takes a rene position on the question and defends itwith both intelligence andenergy. His opinionis that, the coming music or the past music of any nation can only be based on form and the rr ofits com- posers.’’ The correctness ofthis statement seems uuattackable. Aschool should only teach form. — must be spontaneous. Adaptation is merely application. McArthur says that the only things national in music are itsnative songs and its r dances. Both are the outcome ofthe lives of the people, and in them we find reflected social characteristics and peculiarities. ; ahere may be national forms in music— peculiar phrases and arrangements, repeti- tions of certain harmonic modulations and avoidance of others—but as an abstract thing music is universal, McArthur closes his article on this subject with the following lines: *‘Music is beyond and above all nationalities. The language of the soul—it exists only for those who under- stand it, belonging to no individual races and no sections of people. From the sunny south we have a Palestrina, a Bellini, a Verdi and a Mascagni. From the wild north comes Grieg. The steppes have sent a Tschaikowsky and a Rubinstein, and the fertile piains of Francea Berlioz, a Gounod anda Saint-Saens. As for the giants Bach, Handel, Beethoven and Wagner, they cometo us from the heart of Europe, but they belong to the world. Their great creations are not based on ry! national melodies. Form gives their music its power, charm and stability; their own genius its greatness and its immortality.’’ It has become apparent to all those whose business it is to observe the stage that comic opera is in a state ofabsolute decadence. The list of works of an assumed humorous char- acter, set to music of a light and pleasant sort, is one to which additions are made every day. Composers of all countries are prolifie in operetta scores. But the results are so unsatisfactory that it is proper to look into the causes ofthe decline in quality of works of this class. As an English writer puts it, What is wrong with comic opera?’ There seem to be two evils, that ofauthorship and that of production, the latter in a measure the con- sequence of the former. In the old days of Offenbach, of Herve, of Lecocg, of Suppe and of Gonee, comic opera had what might be called an artform. The men who wrote the librettithen—the Cre- mieux, the Meiihacs and the Halevys—had brains, wit, humor and style. They were fertile in ideas and ingenious in develop- ment. They understoodthe value of con- trasts asa base of humor; they realized the ludicrousness of incongruity and irreverence, Satire and ridicule were weapons they knew how to handle. Their successors have neither thoughts nor plans. Their work is crude and clumsy. As the English writer says; The librettists are the real sinners. They seem devoid of literary grace and barren of dra- matic perception.’ The average libretto of to-day has as little rhymeas reason and still less stage effect. To lines awkward and inane the composer must adapt his music. There are no lyrics to inspire him, no situations tostirhim. In a despairing mood he gives up the idea of com ingand manufactures a lot of tunes and jingles. ; The stage manager, finding no dramatic action in the book to suggest stage business, is compeiled to devise and develop a scheme of preposterous puppetry. He drills the chorus singers, the coryphees and the figur- antes in tricky evolutions, marches and pro- cessions, which are as irrelevant as they are spectacular, and trains them in-a system of gestures and movements, of which Kiralfy and not Delsarte isthe inventor.

On Monday nighta new play by Augustus Thomas will be presented at Hooly’s Theater Chicago. The Play is entitled Mizzoura,’’ and was written the famous comedian Nat Good- on Mr. Goodwin, in speaking ofthe play said that he wanted one fully American in its character, and full of local color. He believed Mr. Thomas better cap- able of writing such a play than any other author, and the result had justified his an- ticipations. The scene is laid in Pike County. The play is not a farce, although there is much humor in it, the principal character belng serious and at times heroic. Mr. Goodwin considers the delineation of primi- tive country character very fine, and is de- lighted with the production. -— nn SOUSA ON CLASSICAL MUSIC. The Military Band Leader Tells of Diffi- culties He Has to Encounter. ; Special Correspondence SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH. NEW YORK, Aug. 3.— The tendency of military music to-day,’’ said Conductor Sousa to a SUNDAY PostT- DISPATCH correspondent at Manhattan Beach last week, ‘‘is to invade more and more the orchestral field. Music must adapt itselftothe popular taste to be popular, for the simple reason that, first of all, it is considered as an amusement by the audience. Most people attend concerts to have their ears tickled, and it is hard work to educate them into appreciating classical music. Fortunately for music in this country, there has been a wonderful im- provement in the popular taste within the last few.years. Heretofore pieces of a high character have been the exception on the programmes of military bands. The time is 2 approaching when they will be the rule. This result,“ continued the successor to Patrick Gilmore, is being reached by homceopathic doses, so to speak; the allopathic treatment would not do at all in this case. The education of the popular taste tothe understanding and ap- preciation of high-class music is, naturally, slow and laborious. But this education is taking place, and the results are very much in evidence. The lighter music will, of course, always eatch the fancy of the aver- age auditor, but I belleve a programme — — entirely of so-called pe ular music would now be as absurd a failure as one wholly made up of classical pieces. The peopie seem to want a combination of the heavy andthe light, with the greater part of the light of a pure character musically, „Among the best numbers done by my band—and which meet with popular approval —may be mentioned the unfinished Sym phony of Schubert, Tannheuser, ‘Rienza,’ and ‘Flying Dutchman,’ overtures of Wagner the Mun rian Khapsodies’ of Ligst and Mendelssonn’s overtures.

No doctor ever gota farthing out of me. Why, when I’m ailing I just buy a dot - tle of Fusby’s Elixir, which is guaranteed by government with a special stamp, as Fusby's advertisement says, I’ve got a cold, that’s what's the matter with me, and 1’ll tell you what itis, my boy—if.I thought there was anything seriousiy wrong I should feel deuced uncomfortable, not on my acoount, George, but on yours. You see, my boy, have always meant you to be my heir, but the only will lever made was one I executed just after I married your poor aunt, and that’s thirty years ago, and ou were neither born nor thought then. Here the old man’s utterances were stopped by a Violent ft of coughing, his face grew very red indeed, and then he began to sneeze violently many times in succession. Old ur. Croker clung to the arms of his easy chair and his face grew even redder than before. „Good gracious, boy, can’t you give me anything for this! Do you want to see me sheeze my soul up?“ „„I reaily think you had better have ad- vice, uncle,’’ replied the young man, anx- iously; ‘*there are any amount of big men in the neighborhood. Let me run across to Sir John Ganthony's; if he is only in he'd be here in five minutes, and his is the most val- uable opinion in London. ‘Stuff and nonsense, sir!'’ cried old Mr. Croker, anarily ; I couldn't offer a man like that, at this time of night, less than 5 guin- ens; it isn’t as if ld got 1 seri- the matter with me; it’s just a cold, a cold on chest, vou know.

Aye, George, and loves that one young fel- low as though he really were his own son.“ The two shook hands affectionately, and then old Mr. Crocker was tortured byjanotber violent fit of coughing. „Look sharp, my boy.“ cried the old man in a husky whisper; put your pride in your cket, and run and talk it over with old roadwooa,’’ George Brand was no fool. He fancied that ne detected something more thana mere „cold on the chest, he felt that there were all the incipient symptoms of a severe attack of infammation of the lungs. This newly-fledged doctor was but two-and-twenty; he naturally dreaded the serious responsibility of the treatment of his wealthy relative, the old man who had so recently declared that he, George, was to be his heir. He took the bull by the horns, and marched straight across into Harley street and rang discreetly at Sir John Ganthony’s door. The door was opened by Furbisher,Sir John Ganthony's man. nat can I do for you, sir!“ said Fur bisher, rubbing his hands and smiling bland ly at George.

Written for the SUNDAY Post-DIsPaTcn. One meets with many queer characters in the World’s Fair city. Here are two sketches, founded on actual experience, which afford an interesting contrast. Tuesday evening I went with a friend to see Kiralfy’s great production, America,“ atthe Auditorium. We were a little early. Only a small number of persons had as yet taken seats in the parquette. Immediately in front of us was a man ot about 35 years of age and a boy ot about 16. The man was a stranger, that was quite evident. While not a jay he had that small town look about him. He had been posing in admiration around the great hall, when catching my eye he leaned over and sald: ople does this hall seat?’’ „How many Itold himl did not know exactly but I should judge about 2, 700. lou don't know the exact number?’’ „No.“ Just then an usher came along and the man from the small town hallea him. „How many people does this hall seat?’’ „Four thousand.“ In a few minutes the 4,000 had all come in and the curtain went up. Again the stranger turned to me. „„How many people are there upon the stage in this performance?’’ Itold him I had heard there 800 or 400. : oat you don’t know the exact number?’’ „No. * Again he hailed the usher and put his ques- tiontohim. The usher said 700. The man from the small town sank back in his seat satisfied,but suddenly turned around again and in a most apologetic tone and loud enough for others, whom he doubtless thought he might have possibly annoyed to hear, explained himself as follows: ou must excuse me for asking questions but I came here to see and I want to learn al Ican about things. Becauseit’s just this way: WhenI go Some and the folks ask me wherel was to-night and I say at the Aud- itorlum to see ‘America;’ well, they might say how many people will that Auditorium hold? and how many people were on the stage? and if, I couldn't tell "em, well what would they shy? Why they’dsay if you've gone all the way from Lancaster to Chicago and now. don't know what you've seen you mightas well have stayed at home and not Spent all that money.’’ And then he turned to the stage again, and ifhe was not sufficiently impressed by the performance to tell his folks in Lancaster every detall, it was certainly not because be were had not given the greatest of attention. * * * * * * In striking contrast with the desire for sicht- seeing and information manifested by the man from Lancaster, was the apathy of a character whom I met on the World’s Fair Grounds. He was seated on a bench in front ofthe Transportation Building and I took a seat beside him to rest my weary imbs. He had on jeans trousers an a vest of material; his shirt was blue his mouth he held a Pipe which had evidently Gone much service and which he was contentedly 1 Five minutes or more elapsed before he said anything. Then he slowly took the pipe out from between his teeth, blew away a wreath — — and said with considerable em- sis: have jest been listenin’ to the smartest man lever heerd talk.

Inever heerd a man talk like he did; go in- teresting. That man, I honestly believe, IX more about the world than any man „ue must be a great traveler.’’ Well, I should say he is; he’s been thirty years with Cook.“ One can learn a great deal about the world right here?“ I remarked, sane they tell me,“ he replied. ’ „Haven't you been around yet?’’ No; lain’t scarcely moved away from here.

New Yoru, July 27.—‘‘What the over- worked woman wants is peycho- physical culture, said Miss Annie Thomas, founder and chief expounder of the system which bears her name. Mies Thomas is big, strong, beautiful and good to look upon. She has bulk and breadth, the agility of a goat and the grace of an Indian girl. The psycho- physical training which has made her womenhoo healthy and glorious phe has been teaching and preaching for the last fifteen years. The writer knows what ‘‘psyco-physical cultures“ means, but like the boy in the back seat she can’t tell. It has a lot to do with sweetness and light, beauty, joy, hope, giadness, harmony and ‘‘glimpses of that possible tion in good men and women.’’ It prescribes high thinking, simple living, comfortable and pretty clothing, health, good morals and the association of clean, cheery, healthy, whelesome people. Miss Thomas was seen at ber home. No. 82 West Twenty-sixth street. She was in white Indian moccasins, a white muslin Greek Gross, with a fillet in her hair and a girdle about her long waist.

The picture this tall, handsome creature cut, saliing about on her toes, her skirts flutter- in the twilight and her fiexible body curving, pending, swaying and swinging, must be imagined. The beauty of it all was ber quiet grace. It wasn’t athletic; it was zephyr- like; she didn’t get red inthe face, and strangeto relate, she didn’t even seem to perspire.

Look up at the blue sky, the stars, the moon and hilltops; look forward, be hoperul, be trustful; go with sunny-hearted people, ( and forget your sorrows; let the tragic plays go by, and try to hear the music of the roll - ing spheres.

Catch on, swing off into space and keep up the delusive gymnastics until you are as nimble and gracefal as a fairy. The operator on pillow slips who gets 18 cents a dozen, is advised to hipity-hop for a headache, or she might catch hold of an imaginary rope and climb up sailor fashion. If her arms ache and she feels as if she had a load of woodon her shoulders, she might gather psycho-physically anarmful of cob- webs and festoon the workshop with them.

These toe athletics are really very good for diseased joints; swollen and clumsy ankles yield in time to the five move- ments prescribed for the ankle. ne clerks, canvassers, collectors, laun- dresses, teachers and all other women who are obliged to be on their feet all day, should wake two or three hours before wetting up and exercise their feet every morning.’’ Playing windmill, walking-beam, sailor, sower and squirrel are saving means of grace and health. One ofthe best all-round exer- cises on Miss Thomas’ long list is to be pre- sented at court five or six times a day. The addresses for European courta strengthen the muscle, butthe grand salaam taken in large doses is said to be a rapid, radical remedy for more things than is witch hazel. Miss Thomas has a very favorable opinion of the factory proprietor. I the tired little shop girl feels herself going to pieces, advise her to lay aside her work, take a cold bath and lle on the lounge in the sitting room. The bath need not consume over five miu- utes, and five minutes’ rest will refresh her body and brighten her mind, provided she lies faton her back and iets every muscle loose. NELL NELSON. HOW TO BUY GLOVES. And Also How They Should Be Worn After They Are Boucht. The woman who labors under the delusion that she has done her duty to her hands when she has bought a pair of ‘*sixes’’ or six and a quarters“ in a presentable shade is mak- ing a grievous error. She should always carefully examine her gloves, seeing to it that the kid in the side finger pieces and the tri- angle at the thumbisas firm and as flexible as that at the wrists; that the thumD- piece Is long and broad enough; that the fingers are neither too short nor toolong, and the hand ofthe glove large enough to prevent the paim from folding into creases. Ihe glove is the most forcible example of the adaxve about trees growing as the twig is bent. Ifa glove is put on for the first time carelessly, with seams awry and finger ends not snug, it is hopeless to at Xo smooth itout ata subsequent wearing. s seams will be twisted and the fingers baggy so long as the glove endures, Thatis the. reason it is wise to have the gloves first put on by the firm, experienced hands ofa Stter. If this is impossible, the task must be un- dertaken at home When there is plenty of time. Ihe gloves must be carefully pressed on, every seam straight, every gusset in its right place; thetips of the fingers smooth and the wrist perfectly adjusted. Then it should be buttoned with the finest glove- buttoner fromthe bottom. Ifa glove which has been properly worked on will not button from the bottom it is too small. Why Not Studs? How strange it is that women who hate so much the task of sewing on buttons and mending torn button holes do not follow the example of their husbands and brothers and substitute studs? The smalimother-of-pearl three-eiguths - of. an- inch size studs are very neat and save a great deal of labor. The little simple studs are good for all kinds of underwear which need buttons in- VERY PICTURESQUE, INDEED.

Special Correspondence SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH. NEW TORK, May 18.—One of the most inter - esting sights to be seen in all the length and breadth of New York has been visible dally, forthe past few weeks, at the Loan Exhibition on Fifty-seventh street. It has been the spectacle of the flesh and the woman of 1893 standing face to face with the painted portraits of the women of 1798. Such an opportunity of comparing fin de siecle women ofto-day with the fin de siecle women of 100 years ago does not often exist. In the room known as the South Gallery there has been a collection of portraits scarcely one of which 1s less than one hun- dred years old, They represent women of all ages, from Mrs. Bulgamen, a sweet young 4 One Hundred Years Between Them, thing with a wide, blue sash around her walst, to Mrs. Murray, a stout old dowager who wears her sash on her head. The following observations seem to force themselves upon anyone who makes a close com parison between the cold and ’aughty’’ canvas women and the critical realities who slowly file past them. 1. The women of to-day est. 2. Their interests are more numerous. . They have a better physique. 4. The sash and hair industry must have fiourished as much during the last century as the button and jewelry trade languished. Talk of decollette! The most liberal society woman ot to-day is indeed compared with these dames who so gener - ously displayed not only to their but to all who ( Almost every woman whose picture appears in the gallery has on a sort of loose surplice waist, entirely innocent of any buttons and simply tied by means of a sash of some sort. tardy meeting to be sure, but a ‘better late than never.

Could you not come home and spend your vacation where there’s naught to make atraid—where we will give you your victuals and exercise for nothing? But now, honest, don’t it Jook kind of scandalous for me and your mother to be here, yearin and year out, eating plain victuals and wearing out your old clothes while you are having a sort of hitey -titey time of it with the wealthy?
