President Harrison Now Working to Secure Co-Operation in the House, Some Sort of an Agreement Likely to l)e Made During the Present Term. The Senate Agrees to Two Conference Re ports The Tariff Bill not Touched Almost no Business in the House -Annf Changes and Assign mentsCapital Notes. VAbhtxgtox, August 8. The president is now trying to win Chairman McKinley to the reciprocit idea. Mr. McKinley has been at the white house on invitation of president, aud the matter was discussed. The president has been in accord with Secretary Blaine in a general way upon the subject from the beginning, and their Only differences have been to the desired extent of reciprocity, the best plan ot pro cedure and the consequent details. It is said the president was at first rather in clined to stop at the Pierce amendment, which simply proposed that sugar should be put upon the free list, and that the president should have power to reim Jpose the sugar tax at the end of a rear against such sugar-producing countries as failed to olfer a free market for the products of the United States. Mr. Blaine was originally in favor of about the plan afterwards suggested 03' Senator Aldrich. It proposed to make the period two years and to extend the retalia tory power of the president not only to sugar but to manilfa and sisal grass, which are placed upon the free li&t by the Mc Kinley bill, and to coffee, rubber, cocoa and hides, already on the free list under the existing law. The exact details of the compromise reached by President Harrison and Secre tary Blaine are not yet made public, but it is not at all improbable that the main fea ture of reciprocity will be sugar, and that Mr Blaine has yielded to the president on the wool question. The secretary lias urged free bouth lis a concession tries represented American congress, deemed so radical a American -wools to the comi in the Pan but the president step at this time rather damaging to thecauseof protection. The plan which has been practically adopted will not compi mnso protection in the least, since none of the articles to bo employed in the reciprocity aie on the dutiable list under the McKinley bill as it uow stands. Before a message is sent to congress on the subject it is probable that Chairman McKinley, S eaker Heed aud other lte publiean leaders of the house will be in vited individually to a conference with th president, and it is hoped to win them over The .senate is believed to bo favor able, and if the leaders of the house can be secured reciprocity in some shape Avill go through before tho present session closes. TWO COHERENCE REPORTS. Portifications and the Sundry Civil Bill Agreed to. "Washington', August 8. Mr. Call offered a resolution (which was agreed to) instructing the committee on foreign re latione to inquire into aud report such measure as may be best for the protection of citizens of the United States who were formerly residents of Cuba subject to Spam, against prosecution by the Spanish government for alleged offenses to have been committed by them. The concurrent loolution heretofore offered by Mr Plumb expressing the de sire of congress for the removal of the remains of tho illustrious bvildier and statesman, Ulysses S. Grant, to Arlington National cemeterj-, and requesting the pi esideut to convey to the widow of that eminent man such de sire, tendering to her, on behalf of the nation all necessary facilities lor such re moval aud interment, was taken up aud agreed to. The conference report on the fortifica tion bill was taken up for consideration. After discussing the conference report it was agreed to. The conference report on the sundry ch ii appropriation bill was taken up and the action of the conference committee on he subject of the bridge and viaduct at Hock island (declining to require the municipality to shaie the expense and ownership) was criticised and condemned by Mr. Edmunds, who contrasted that li'herality of the committee with its mean ness and parsimony in refusing to the widow of a dead chief justice tho balance of his Hilary. Mr Sherman expressed his regret at the striking out of the items for the families ol deceased members aud of the late Chief Justice Wait e. He would, him.-elf, vote for a law, general in its character, giving to the family of every officer of the gov ernment who died in harness, the balauce of his pav during the calendar year. Mr Pliimb expressed his own satisfac tion that the item as to Mrs. Waite, had been struck out of the bill, because he did not think it should ever have been in it. He hoped that the action of the con ference committee would be regarded as settling the w hole matter until some gen eral law a- pu-ed on the subject and that there would be no difficulty and em larr.iMiu nt. The discus-ion then turned upon the items in relation to the irrigation -urvey and to public lands, and it was carried oh at much length. Finally the conference report wa- agreed to yeas naj s IS. A further conferences as ordered on the irrigation items, which had been post poned and Aie-srs. Alli-on, Hale and Gorman were appointed conferees on the part of the -enate. The tariff bill was then taken up, but vent over without action. A joint resolution was passed to accept rem the national encampment ot the Grand Army of the Republic a statue and pedestal of the late General Ulysses s. Grant, to be erected in the capital. The senate then adjourned. VERY LITTLE DONE. The House's Time Passes in Dilatory Da bate and Motions, "Wa-hixi.tov, Augu-t S. Mr. Mutchler, of Penn-lvaniu, was excu-ed at his own reque-t irom further service ou the com mittee on coinage, weights and measures and Mr. Y.iux,of Peiiiisj lvania, was ap pointed to fill the vacancy. The house then resumed consideration of the general deficiency bill, the pending question being on the amendment grant ing a month's extra pay to employes of the house aud senate. The amendment was lost, yeas 17, nays Vr, Vaux, of Peun-ylvania, moved to re commit tlie bill with instructions to tho committee on appropriations to report it back with the clause appropriating $230,000 for deficiencies in the lee- and expense of the United States marshal- eliminated. Mr. Holmnu, of Indiana, wished to amend the instructions by eliminating the clause paying George A. Matthews for his unexpired term as a delegate from Dakota territory, but the speaker recognized Mr. Henderson, of Iowa, to demand the previ ous question on Mr. Vaux's motion. The previous question was ordered yeas 106 nav.s83. Mr. Vaux's motion to recommit was lost yeas 33, nays 150. The bill was then passed. Mr. Cannon, of Illinois, from the com mittee on rules, reported a resolution pro viding that after the passage of this reso lution it shall be in order after two hours of debate to move that the house non-concur in all the senate amendments to the Indian appropriation and to ask a com mittee of conference. Mr. Enloe, of Tennessee, raised the ques tion of consideration, in the interest, he said, of the private calendar. In order to obviate Mr. Euloe's objection to the resolution, Mr. Cannon stated in re sponse to a question by Mr. McComas, of Maryland, that it was the purpose of the committee on rules to report resolutions giving daj-s to the consideration of the bills reported from the committee on agri culture and labor and to the consideration of private bills. If the Indian appropria tion bill could be disposed today, unani mous concent would be asked to devote to morrow to private bills. Mr. Enloe thought that something more substantial than promices should be given and insisted on his question of considera tion. Mr. Cannon remarked that the gentle man, by his action, was delaying the con sideration of private measures. The house decided yeas 110, nays 6G to consider the report of the committee on rules. Mr. Rogers, of Arkansas, having voted in the affirmative for that purpose, moved a consideration. Mr. Cannon raised the point that this was a dilatory motion. The speaker sustained the point. Mr. Rogers I appeal from the decision. The speaker The chair declines to en tertain the appeal. Mr. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, moved to table the resolution. Lost yeas 57, nay.- 109. Then Mr. Peel, of Arkansas, asked unanimous consent that the senate amendments to the Indian appropriation bill be non-concurred in, again giving as his reason the fact that the Indian service was suffering aud that it was necessary that the appropriation bill be passed at the earliest day possible. Mr. Breckinridge objected. Mr. Cannon then demanded the previous question on the adoption of the resolution. This motion was agreed to yeas 111, nays 03. Mr. Dockery of Missouri moved to re commit the resolution. Rejected. The question then recurring on the adoption of the resolution, no quorum voted and the house took a recess, the evening session to be for the consideration of private pension bills. Nothing was done at the evening session. ARMY CHANGES. The Department and Division Commanders Re-Assigned. "Washington, August 8.

R. inters, of the Seventh Kansas dis trict, leaves for his home in Newton to night.

All the railroads have openly advertised the $27.50 rate and the sale of the tickets has been publicly adertised, so that Mr. Drew lound no difficulty in collecting evi dence.

CUENET, Kan., August 8. This was Cheney's great day. For weeksthe Alliance hosts of this neck o' woods have been looking forward to this meeting as an epoch in their history. And there was no disappointment. From the early hours of the morning, even from last night, the farmers andtheir friends began to pour into the little citj in a way that bid fair to excel any gathering of the season. Lumber wagons with eight and perhaps twelve occupants rolled in and stopped on the green south or ea&t of town, while the heads of the families sought congenial acquaintances already gathered, and the rest of the family began to prepare to pass an enjoyable day. By fl o'clock the little town seemed to be alive with not only Alliance men, but visit ors of all occupations,ages, and even colors, and not less than 2,500 people were here. A grand procession three miles in length filled the streets, participated in by every organization on the ground. The music of the Valley Center band was noticeably ac ceptable. President Clover, of the Alliance, opened the political ball with a well spoken and well received address of considerable length. This finished the good work up to dinner hour, when the famished hosts who were not fortuuate enough to possess one of the mammoth lunch baskets so commonly seen, were fed by the ladies of M. E. church in a large pavillion erected for the purpose. Good water and red lem onade were in abundance, with other liquids in far greater proportion. After the physical man had been satisfied with eatables and drink the crowds once more turned in the direction of the tem porary auditorium prepared for the speak ers. Hon. Jerre Simpson, the Alliance candi date for congress, made the first address of the afternoon. His speech was made up of the old-time, easily recognized state ments of the Greenback party of '73 and '74, but while not very strong in solid ar gument, was, nevertheless, listened to with much attention. Editor Pfeffer, of the Kansas Farmer, followed Mr. Simpson in a well timed speech. This ended the speaking and the people dispersed, only to gather shortly at the couise where the much advertised hurdle race engineered by the "boys" from Run nymede was to take place at 5 o'clock. The race was intensely interesting to the spectators and "sports" utilized the op portunity to risk sums of money on the outcome. A horse from Garden Plain was the winner. Altogether the day wa everything which vas anticipated, marred by no acci dent or unpleasant incident. "Alliance" and "People's" were the only political sub jects talked of, but the crop situation was not slighted, and from the drift of opinion it is evident that the country represemed belongs to a fortunate section. Mot of the farmers are holding wheat and old corn, expecting to more than make up the deficiency in yield bv higher prices. W. D. McCormick, of your city, today sold for eastern parties a big farm adjoining town at a stiff price, cash. Tonight the visitors are diminished in number, but the cele bration of the day was not ended at a late hour. PEOM GENESEO. General News Items From that City and Rice County. GENESEO, Kan., August 7. Special Cor respondence. Wheat is being threshed and proves to be fine in quality and an average of ten to twelve bushels per acre, some doing much better and in the best fully twenty to twenty-five bushels per acre is the result. Corn is practically a failure. Some few pieces will make a little corn, but the stalks in most places is all that will amount to anything. This section lias jnst been vi-ited by a rain which will do much good in making gra-s and may help even some of the late planted coi 11. The wheat market ha ruled firm with an upward tendency, prices ranging from 75 to 77 cents for best grades. George Cartright, a farmer living near here, was, while under the influence of whisk, knocked out to such an extent that his no-e was broken in two places and he is now suffering from brain con cussion caused by the blows received His assailant, Mr G. (Justus, is under bonds to au-wer the assault. A city cooler is under consideration in which to place the breaker- of the law. Politics are causing some discussion. The Farmers' Alliance is making an effort to weaken the Republican party, but so far with small results. The greater and more influential numberof farmers are still faithful to the Republican party and every thing points to a victory in Rice county. Myers Morgan have closed up their business. Mr. Morgan will teach near Geueseo this winter." The Geneseo school opens oon with new teachers, Prof. Kirkpatrick of Great Bend, principal. Mrs. Gowdy will take The primary department.

El Dorado, Kan., Augn-t b, Careful inquiry by the Associated Press agent here among" farmers, stockmen and" bankers shows that the usual number of cattle will -be full fed in this country this winter. The old corn on hand with the new crop of corn and hay is sufficient to warrant -jockmen to borrow the usual amount of money for full feeding.

Eussell Harrison Heads a Big Aransas Pas3 Improvement Company. TOPEKA, Kan., August 8. The incor poration of an immense town and im provement company with a capital of 6, 000.000 was successfully accomplished to day by filing the necessary papers with the secretary of state and later in the day the election of officers. The following are the officers: Russell B. Harrison, presi dent: T. B. Wheeler, (governor of Texas), vice-president; Hon. Johu W. Rice, of Pennsylvania, second vice president; J. S. Debarry, of Texas, secretary; C. O. Knowles, of Topeka. treas urer; C. A. Sanders and B. H. Wilson, managers. Congressmen J. C. Burrows, of Michigan; D. B. Henderson, of Iowa; G. W. Dorsey, of Nebraska: John W. Rife, of Pennsylvania: S. E. Payne, of New York, and other prominent people and capital ists are interested. Russell B. Harrison, president of the company, was asked by a reporter if he was notafraid the company would be boy cotted in their operations, owing to the agitation of such a policy in some of the southern states Mr. Harrison promptly replied that he did not have the slightest idea of such treatment. "The peo ple of Texas," he added, "are very intelligent, enterprising and hospitable and instead of repelling a large enterprise like this which intends to do much to de velop their state and secure deep water at Aransas pass, I am satisfied that the Texas people will do everything in their power to aid the company and see that we secure fair treatment. Our company represents northern, southern, Euglish and Scotch capital." The new company in the interest of Aransas pass is looked upon as a great en couragement and impetus to deep water on the gulf. NO PACTS IN PB00F. Allegations of Decline in Parm Values Merely Guess Work. Topeka, Kan.. August 8. On July 15 Governor Humphrey addressed a letter to Hon. E. H. Funston asking him to procure facts and figures in relation to the state ments of S. S. Polk, president of the Southern Farmers' Alliance, that the property owned by farmers had declined in value while their tax had increased. Governor Humphiey is in receipt of .a reply from Mr. 1 unston, in which he says: "Inclosed the statement of Mr. A. R. Spafford, librarian of con gress, and perhaps one of the best statisticians in America. I have made inquiry of other distinguished statisticians and each has said in substance that there is nothing but guess work in such statements." The following is the statement of Libra rian Spofford: "Referring to statements quoted in a letter from Governor Humphrey, alleging an enormous decline in value of property owned by farmers in Kansas, permit me to say that the only foundation I have seen for the statements quoted is an article in the New York World written by W. E. Wilson, assistant editor, which he has himself admitted to be based on conjecture and gu&s work." INOBEASED UN0EBTAINTY. Poor Crops, Closer Money and Delay in Legislation Affects Trade. New Yop.ic, August S. R. G. Dun Co's. Weekly Review of Trade says: Less favorable crop prospects... closer money marketsand further delay in action on the tariff bill in the senate have increased the uncertainty which retards business. In spite of a sharp advance in wheat, corn, oats, oil and coffee, the general average of prices for commodities is a shade lower than a week ago. The present state of trade throughout the country appears satisfactory for the season and reports are almost uniformly confident in tone. Boston notes little pres ent change, but belief in great activity in the fall; wool is more freely bought. Cotton goods move fairly, and the suspen sion in print cloth works is having the de sired effect. Philadelphia notes no im provement in wool, and scanty buying of cotton, lower prices being awaited. Chica go reports smaller receipts than last year of wheat, flour and corn, a heavy decrease in cheese, but a much larger movement of cattle and hogs because of fear as to tho corn crop. Wool receipts fall off a third and hides a quarter, while sales of dry goods are larger than last year wiMi prompt collections. St. Louis notes strong trade in nearly all lines, Kansas City a fair trade for the eason. Omaha and" St. Paul a good trade and Milwaukee improv ing. The crop outlook is on the whole less promising. The speculative news gath erers are making the most of the damage to wheat and corn. Wheat has risen 'il cents with sales of 2S,000,000 bushels. Corn '3)4 cents with sales of 18,000,000 bushels, and oats o cents, while pork, hogs and cotton are unchanged. The busine-s failures occurring through out the country during the last seven days number COS, as compared with ISO last week. For the corresponding week last year the figures were 201. GEAY'S COTJET MAETIAL. General Alger Disapproves the Sentence in Eis Case. New Orleans, La., August S. On the 24th ultimo, a court martial was held ou Captain Jacob Gray, the past department commander of the department of Miss issippi, Alabama ami Louisiana, Grand Army of the Republic. The proceedings were necessarily secret, and of vhat trans pired little could be ascertained at the time. The court martial was the result of the ill-feeling which was manifested be tween the two factions in the ranks of the Grand Army of the Republic on the occasion of Hon Jefferson Davis' death. Captain Gray, then the department commander, turned out in the funeral procession to do honor to the dcul soldier and statesman. The commander was determined to make the recalcitrant members of his command make amends and chartered nine colored posts-, comprising about 500 member3, and said that if they (his opponents) would not jmrade in the Davis procession they would be made to walk side by side with the negroes. As a result two ets of officers were elect ed On the matter being referred to Gen eral Alger, the commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, it was decided that Mr Hodges was the department commander, but that the negro posts were entitled to representation. Thereupon the anti-Gray taction began proceeding- by way of court martial against Captain Gray. The verdict was against Gray and the outcome of the trial was forwarded General AJer. for ap proval. The following dispatch was re ceived bv Captain Gray yesterday: "Detroit, Mich., Auggu-t 7, ISM. To Captain Jacob Crr, "w Orloiits, La.

AT A STAND STILL XO TRAINS MOVING OX THE NEW YORK CENTRAL Employes Leave Their Engines and Trains Almost Without anv Warning. The Eoad From Albany to New York City Completely Tied TJp-The Officials Pirm, Strikers Will be Fought t0 the Bitter End A Delegation of "Workmen Snubbed by Vice-President Webb Ho Attempt to Eun Trains Made Last Night. New York, August S. The rumblings of an expected storm among the thousands of employes of tho New York Central and Vanderbilt lines owing to the discharge of Knights of Labor and Brotherhood men broke out like a flash from a clear sky shortly after 7 o'clock tonight. All the lengthof the Central was tied up. Trains were left by the crews where they stood when the order came. Two passen ger trains were left at Eighty-sixth street in the tunnel, one going iu each direction. The strike was begun at 7:30 o'clock. Not a train has left the depot at Forty second street since that hour. The Grand Union hotel is crowded with people who expected to leave the city and had en gaged passage for various points. At S.30 o'clock a gentleman reached tho hotel and announced that the engineer and men em ployed in running an incoming train had deserted their posts in the tunnel and left the train standing there. He and other passengers had to get out and make their way toForty-second street on foot or by horse car. The latest report is that the West Shore railroad is tied up throughout its length as well as the Xew York A: New Haven railroad. Great throngs of people are crowded into the Grand Central depot trying to have tickets changed and asked all manner of ques tions. No one seem to know how it was or who ordered the strike. Even J. J. Holland, the labor leader, denied that he knew who ordered it or even that it was ordered. The representatives of the railroad com pany called upon Acting Superintendent of Police Byrnes for protection. The in spector at once held a conference and it was decided to hold in reserve policemen in all the precincts on the east side below Forty-second street. All the reserves on the east side above Forty-second street to Yonkers and on the west side from St. John's park to Yotikers were placed on duty guarding the tracks and property of the railroad company. The depot at Forty-second street was un der the protection of the full force of po lice from the twenty-third sub-precinct and these were assisted by members of the boat patrol. Inspector Byrnes' detectives guarded the switches and signal stations along the road to Yorkers. After these ar rangements had been made, word reached police headquarters that some of the strik ers intended to take possession of the switches at Fifty-seventh street and Fourth avenue. Inspector Byrnes at once detailed two of his trustworty detectives to watch that point. The inspector himself decided to remain at headquarters all night. MR. WEI1B VERV PIRM. Vice President Webb, of the New York Central, on being interviewed bya reporter said that the strike extended only to Albany. All men who went out from the employ of the road, he said, would be promptly discharged in the morning. Those men who remained true to the com pany would be well taken care of and amply protected as well as all men who came to work for the read. The road would take on all good men who applied for work in the morning as far as they were needed to fill the places of the deserters and they wonld be guaranteed against all harm a1? well. With great emphasis the vice president announced that he would fight the strikers to the bitter end. He said that the new set of demands he had never seen and knew nothing whatever about. In effect these demands are for a minimum day's wages of Sl.oO, station agents to receive an increase of 3 a month, men in yards at Troy and Green Island shall receive the same compensation as at Schenectady and East Albany, all fire men on six wheel connected engines shall receive 2 cents per mile, all engineers on same 4 cents, four wheeled engine en gineers 34 cents per mile, firemen 2 cents per mile: for all men overtime double pay Mr. Webb announced that the fast mail had pulled out of the depot at 0:20 with four mails but no passengers were at tached to the train. Tne vice president further announced that no attempt would be made to run any cars tonight. Every thing would be left at a standstill just where the men left off There are no means to get to Albany or New England tonight, but the opening up of the great avenues of trade would be begun to morrow. It is announced that the vice-president will give out an official statement of the roads' position in the present controversy that the people of the country may judge who is right and who i wrong. At 9 p. m. no trains have left the Grand Central depot since 7:30 n. m. It is re ported that the New York, New Haven Hartford and the West Shore road are tied up as well as the New York Central. The pa-senger trains were deserted by their crews at Eighty-sixth streets. A confusion exists about the depot. It is rumored that a special tram would be started out of the Grand Central depot shortly and that the strikers would skle trackit. WHT IT IV AS ORDERED. The strike was ordered on account of the di-charge of certain employes. Under the orders every train was abandoned, no mat ter where it might be. The 7:10 train for Montreal was waiting the signal at the Grand Central depot whpn the engineer, fireman and brakeman left it and walked out of the depot. Efforts made to secure men to fill their places were without avail. Men on other tram also left tbern. Travel was thus not only blocked on the Central road but a!o on the New York &c New England and New York Harlem roads, which use th tracks of the Central road as far as Melrose. There is great excitement at the depot, where great crowds of people are laaherwi who ex pected to tase the trains oat of the city At a late hour Vice President Webb stated that in the yard at the Grand Cen tral depot at Forty-s-eoood trt. Fifty sixth -treet and at Wet Albany there were aboat S39 men out. These men were all switchmen and there was no trouble with the engineers or Uremea. 3L Webb -utted that outkle of local frbort distance trains there were fourteen trains that ought to have left the station between 7 o'clock and jnSdnizb:. Only one of tbev; went oat the fst mail train, d tht carried no paaMwgerfe. Mr. Webb reiter ated his state-meat that the company would aureiy have trains ruaatog sa ue morning. nOIXAVD JCeTASFDOf. J. 3 Hollaed, of the executive board ot lb Koichls of Labor, wan seen a ntOfaottt later at the Grand Unioe boieL He ex-prfe-g-ed himself a firmly a- did Mr. Webb, only hi- war of ratting is wa thvt the trams would SOT aore tor Msvaral mora ias. AtlUBOo'dooS; J. J. Holland was seen and said that he had not rdered the strike but thoueht that the head of the local di vision, Knights of Labor, had. Some strikers were interviewed on. the matter but declined to talk fnrther than to say that it would prove to be the biggest strike beforeit was over that the peoplein the east had seen for some time. At a late hour it was stated by some of tho strikers at the depot that the Lake Shore road as far as Chicago was in the same tied up condition as the Central. This rumor, however, could not be verified, as the officials of the Central declined either to deny or affirm the story. The West Shore road was in a shaky condition tonight, but up to midnight a strike was averted. Every conceivable effort was employed to suppress the news of the strike upon the Central from the men, and pickets were stationed. The postoflice authorities received a tele phone message at 11:30 from the Grand Central station saying no mails would be received over the New York Central to night. WEBB WOULDN'T LISTEN". During the night, J. J. Holland, of the executive board of Knights, arrived and this forenoon lie made three different at tempts to have a conference with third Vice-President Webb in regard to a peace ful solution of the trouble. Mr. We"bb re f nsed to talk to him and motioned him out of the office Then Mr. Holland talked the matter over with Mr. Toucey aud the lat ter went to see Mr. Wetib, but this gentleman remained obdurate. Thou Mr. Hollnnd asked Mr. Toucey for the reinstatement of the discharged men but got no replv. Mr Holland warned Mr. Toucevthat he and lr. Webb would be responsible if any strike resulted. The district committee of the knights met this afternoon to further consider the matter. Mr. Powderly, presiuent of the knichts, and Mr. Hayes, the secretary, are in Philadelphia, ready if their presence here is desired. The impression i- grow ing among the employes of the road that the war upon the knight- wa- decided up on some tune ago and that Mr Depew, be ing opposed to it, went to Europe so as to be absent when the discharges occurred.

Telegraphic an nouncements of the strike on tho New York Central were shown at 10 p. m. to night to the train dispatcher of the Lake Slibre hero. The Lake Shore is a Vander bilt road, but the dispatcher said there had been no intimation of any trouble whatever on the line that he was aware of. The eastern trains had arrived all right, and tickets had been bold right along. Engineers in the employ of the Nickel Plate, another Vanderbilt road, were questioned at about the same hour. They were equally surprised at the news of the strike on the New York. Central It was their first intimation of any trouble. The Nickle Plate engineers spoken to were of the opinion that the .strike in tho east would not affect the Vanderbilt line-- west. On the Nickel Plate, engineers are nndt-r contract with the company and bound by the terms not to engage in a strike. AT OTHER POI5T.S. IiO( HESTER, N. Y August S.

Baton Rouge, La., August 8. At a late Iiour last night the committee to formu late an address to the people of the United States and to memorialize the present con gress, made the following report, which was adopted: .An address to the people of the United Stales- Your fellow citizens of the state of Louifaiana opposed to the lotteuy gambling nd lottery charters, assembled in conven tion at Baton Houge this 7th day of Aug ust, 1S90, mako to you this appeal for aid in the struggle they are engaged in with u powerful gambling corporation which has 'its being hero among us like a giant octo jius and stretches its arms to the remotest .hamlet in the land, "We desire simply to state to you the facts. In IStfS the carpet bag legislature of Louisiana at the-instigation of a num ber of gamblers chartered the Louisiana Lottery company with a capital of $1,000, (000, giving it a monopoly of drawing lot teries in the state for tventy-five years. This grant was obtained by bribery and -corrupt means and at that time the public regarded it with contempt and the men connected with it were pursued with pub lic and private condemnation and dis grace. In lbTJ the legislature repealed this charter, a result accomplished by a majority of only two votes iu the senate. This repeal was practically nullilied by an injunction issued by Edward C. Billings, "United States district judgofor Louisiana, Avho held in the very teeth of the decisiou of the supremo court of the United States rendered in the similar case of Boyd vs. Alabama, that an immoral bargain such as tins charter was, was a sacred contract j)roteclcd by the constitution of the United States and binding upon the police power of asovereign state. The same legislature that repealed this charter called a con stitutional convention. This convention "Was attacked by the lottery people with money, with Judge Billings' decision, with promises to give up its monopoly, to retire lrom politics and to allow a provision to bo inserted in the constitution prohibiting nil lotteries after January 1, IS05 Several distinguished attorneys of t he lot tery company were elected to tins body The whole convention was surrounded with a strong lobby of purchased respecta bility. Under these combined mHuences u provision was inserted in tue projected constitution reinstating the repealed char ter without the monopoly feature, permit ting the legislature to charter other lotter ies providing that after January 1. 1S95, all lotteries should be prohibited. This pro jection was intended and regarded as a compromise, and rather than defeat tho whole constitution in. whirh it was imbed ded tho people adopted it. "With this new lease of life came a new lease of power and a prosperity incredible. They have practically enjojed their re nounced monopoly by preventing every legislature elected since IbO from grant ing additional charters. Tho market value of their stock has rison from &JT per share JnlSTOtoShMpor share in ISM), so that now it is more than double that of the whole banking capital of tho state. They thave built up the original capital, which was never subscribed, and have accumu lated uu enormous surplus of unknown imnount which is declaring dividends of M) to 100 per cent per annum, and that, too, out of only one-half of the net earnings, as the other half belongs to the lessees, How ard and Morns. The scheme of their drawing has iucroa vd from a mouthh capital pne of $W.IXX io a mommy capital prize ol jSoOO.OOU and a .suuu-nunual prize of $000,000. The aggre gate of the schemes of the monthly and hcmi-annunl drawings is the fabulous sum of 26.000.000 per annum, and the aggregate of their dailv drawings is over $20,000,000 more. They receive 5-1.2.V1 000 from the written policies sold on the numbersof tho daily drawing, apart from the sale of the regular prmted tickets. Thev receivo an nually alwut SJO.OOO.OOO from their month ly and .scmi-wnnual drawing. The schemes of the last drawing are so arranged that they can sell 75 per cent of their tickets, pay 10 per cent lor soiling them.lose all tho primes provided for in the schemes, pav a million dollar for expenses and still make 3,000,000 per annum. The chance to win n prize of any sort in one of these drawings is about ono in thirty, whereas, if it were an honest, lottory it would bo at limst one in ton. These were the reasons which in duced the no postmasters general of the United Stares to exclude it from the mails as a fraudulent lottery. What is known .as the daily drawing fakes place everv dav except Mmday, S13 per annum. The Pebenio is baed on the tenary combination of tho natural num bers from 1 to 7S, on some days from 1 to 75, giving in the oue case 7S,07li and in the other 0?..'i' different combinations of three numbers each. The prises paid are out of all honest proportion to the cost of the ticket or the chances of inning. For instance for a dollar ticket the chances of m inning a prize of i5 cents is 1 iu 3; in ning a prue of 51.75 1 in 11" and for win ning a prize of S-L23 is 1 in 1.237. In ad dition to these priuted tickets, written policies or leti on thonuuibers in the daily drawings are taken at the faueyofthe bettor, with a percentage from 22 to 41 per cent in favor of the lotterv. There are more than a hundred policy shops in the city of New Orleans where such ticket are- written. They are placed at points, where they waylay the wage earner in high progress to and irom his work. From the best of information wu eau get receipts of these shops average aboutSK) per diem. Bv the dailj reieution of play thousands of wretches become afflicted with the "lottery craze." We have the authority of the lottery that 98 per cent of this enormous revenue of 5J2,000.000 comes fronr the people of this country out side of the state of Louisiana, ft, has captured three-quarters of the press, even though by spending the capital acquired or by purchase and proprietorship. In localities where it could not purchase the local press it has started a hireling press of its own. While tho United States post ptiice department is tho principal instru ment of its robbery of the people outside of Louisiana, vet the express companies lend material "aid. It is estimated that one-third of the local mail matter that passes through the New Orleans postoffice is lottery mail and that $30,000 per diemin postal notes and money orders are paid to its stalking horse bank. Attempt has been made to submit a con stitutional amendment to be voted on by the people in 1S92 giving to John A.Morris, a member of the original gambling syndi cate of 1SG3, one of the original promoters of the Louisiana Lottery companyand now its lessee and largest stock holder and his unnamed associates, the exclusive privil ege of drawing lotteries in Louisiana for twenty-five years from January 1, 1S94, in consideration of the payment to the state of $1,250,000 per annum. There are no lim itations on this proposed grant. There are no penalties for its abuse. It is placed be yond the regulating power of the legisla ture. All amendments tending to prevent the drawing of fraudulent lottery schemes were voted down. If the taint of state or ganized crime could be confined within the limits of the oriranizintr state the evil might be made local and the ground of complaint local; but we must know that it is against the fundamental principles of this union and in violation of the sacred sisterhood of the states that one of their number should, for a pittance of revenue, allow a piratical corporation to prey upon the ignorance, the credulity and the cu pidity of citizens of all other states. If any state is so shameless in its use of its at present untrammeled power, it ought to fe, and must be restricted by the united power of the American people. To that end we recommend the Immedi ate adoption of an amendment to the fed eral constitution prohibiting any state from chartering or licensing any lottery of gift prize and abolishing tho?e already es tablished and giving the congress power to prohibit by appropriate legislation. A proposition to amend the constitution covering all this ground except in abolish ing of express lotteries is now before a committee of the United States senate, having been introduced by Senator Blair, of 2ew Hampshire. The legislation specially recommended by the president and postmaster general to exclude lottery business and advertisments from the mails and express companies is aimed in the right direction, and we ask its speedy adoption. "We ask that all candidates of all parties of the legislature of the various states be required to pledge themselves to vote for the amendment proposed by con gress to tho constitution o the L nited States, prohibiting and abolishing state lotteries. All this we ask in the name of our common citizenship of this republic, iu behalf of public honor, the public inter est and thu public and private welfare of the commonwealth of the state. We further request the free press to give this address the widest possible 'publicity. TIIEIK WORK FINISHED. The convention reconvened this morning. Quite a number of delegates had lett the city and the attendance was not so numer ous as yesterday. A number of speeches were made and resolutions adopted, among the resolutions being one to boycott the Times-Democrat and daily States, of New Orleans, on ac count ot their pro-lottery sentiments. The newspaper committee reported .30,300 guaranteed for a morning daily newspaper to be published in the city of !New Orleans in opposition to rechartering tho lottery. The convention then adjourned sine die. A SENSIBLE PRECAUTION. Though disease cannot always be con quered, its first approach can be checked. But not only in theuseof a medicinal safe guard to be recommended on the first ap pearance of a malady, but a wise discrim ination should be exercised in the choice of a remedy. For thirty years or more If ostetter's Stomach Bitters has been the reigning specific for dyspepsia, fever and ague, a los of physical stamina, liver com plaint and other disorders, and has been most emphatically endorsed by medical men as a health and .strength restorative. It is indeed a wise precaution to use this sovereign fortifying agent and alternative in the early stages of disease, for it effect ually counteracts it, if the malady belongs to that large class to which this sterling medicine is adopted Not only is it effica cious, but pure and harmless. BITTER AGAINST MIZNER. City of Mexico, August S. Expected dispatches will come from Mizncr, Ameri can minister to Guatemala, today. It is said here he left Guatemala on the "Tinted .Mates nian-of war K.mger for San Salva dor where he can communicate with Washington by cable. Mexican papers are very bitter against Mizner and say lie has shown undue partiality all along to Guate mala The vmp.uhies hero are with San Salvador Ttie fact is, either Mizner would not answer telegrams from Washington or else the Guatemalan government has de liberately suppressed or detained them. Geronimo, confidential agent of San Salva dor, has a dispatch confirming the ikws of the defeat ot Miranda and Figurea by Ezeta. These two generals were traitors who sided with Kivas, who was shot. They have escaped to Honduras. A GLADSTONIAN RETURNED. London. Augusts.

The inter ment iu the state lot on Fitch avenue ad joining Fort Hill cemetery had been evi dently determined upon for last evening at 10 o'clock, but the officials discovering that reporters were watching the proceed ings at the prison gates, abandoned the preparations for the burial. The sexton of the cemetery and the grave digger had been driven up to the north carriage gate to receive the coffin, but were sent away empty handed. DROWNED WHILE BATHING. Baltimore. Md., August S.

One day in thfir desolate retreat they saw t early dawn a bright ray of sunshine beaming upon a lovely verdant hill not far away. Four days in succession this phe nomenon was presented, and being drawn by curiosity to visit tae spot they found a beautiful girl babe. This child was re garded as tho daughter of heaven and earth, and they reared herwith the great est care. When she grew to womanhood tho great warrior, who rides upon a white horse aud carries tho sun upon his arm as a shiold, foil in love with and married her. The offspring of this union wero two sons, who slew the giants whp had destroyed the Navajos, and under 'their protection the world was-peopled again. Tho daughter of heaven and earth was finally taken up by her'warrior husbaud and transported to the graac waters to the westward where she was placed in a float ing palace, which has since been her "home. She is immortal, and to hex aro addressed the prayers of thopeonlo. Herwater homo i? guarded by twelve immortal beings, who return periodically to the land to learn what the Navajos are doing, and to carry back with them any messages which they may send. The tradition of this protecting goddess accounts for the respect which the Navajos show to tho women of their tribe. Among them a man never lifts his hand against a woman, although icis no unusual thing for a squaw to administer a sound thrashing to the warrior husband who has offended her. All of the sheep, which constitute the great wealth of the tribe are owned by the women, and in the various families the line of descent is always on tho side of the woman. Tho Navajos have little or no idea of a future existence, but aro firm be lievers in the transmigrationif souls. For this reason they hare great reverence for different animals end birds, which are sup posed to ba the re-embodiment of departed spirits of Navajos. "William M. Edwardy in Harper's Weekly.

"Woman's Influence on Politics. In the Kansas towns, says a recent writer on municipal corruption, women have taken an interest in municipal affairs, and some of them have been elected to city councils. They scrutinize carefully the moral character of every man who presents himself as a candidate. If it is not satis factory it is useless for him to come before the nominating convention, for the women have delegates at the nominating conven tion, too. The result has been a revolu tion in municipal politics in these towns. The occupation of heeler, bummer, and the man who makes his living by politics is gone. Good order, dean streets and first class schools appeal peculiarly to women. A Royal Evening. One of Queen "Victoria's maids of honor, Lady Bloomfield, some years ago told the world how life passes at tho court of St. James. It passes much tho same as it does in the parlors of a brown stone front in Madison avenue. After dinner there is an evening to be spent, and the queen spends it precisely as Madison avenue does. The queen, who at that time sang and played very well, took her place at the piano, played something from Mendelsshon, and then proposed a glee, which was sung to her accompaniment Others of the com pany played and sang. Some of the ladies did fancy work. The conversation turned upon the topics of the day. New York Ledger. The Care of tho Teeth. Tooth brushes should be used gently to remove adherent food and ine discolora tions of the teeth, system and not vigor be ing the guiding principle. The depressions of the molars should have attention, and a quilr or wood toothpick should be em ployed to keep tho interstices between the teeth clear and healthy. Lime water, the taste being disguised by the addition of a small quantity of brinsed licorice root, makes a good wash, but asimpler prepara tion is made by adding a few drops of aqua ammonia to'a tumbler, of water, or a half teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda may be used in place of the ammonia. Good Housekeeping. An Electric House Pump. A neat application of electricity to do mestic uses is the miniature pumping plant. "With the use of no more current than suffices for a couple of incandescent lamps itwill pump 1Q0 gallons an hour or so, and keep the house tank full without a particle of 'attention. This will prove to be a great'saving not- only, but also in sure tho house from being without a water supply in. case of fire. These little-.electri-cal devices toj-Ughten labor in the house hold are particularly commendable, and as electric light and power become more widely available will- doubtless increase in number and utilitv.

Mrs. Ira L. Likes, of Hayes City, Neb., has the reputation of being one of the smartest lawyers in the state. She is only 29 years old, but she has been an enthusi astic law student ever since she was 17 years of age.

Early rising is a matter both of training and temperament. The, nervous person is apt to rest lightly during fche first three hours after retiring, and to fall into the mo-,t refreshing slumber after midnight. In that cate his njorning nap ought not to be abridged. Nature will gently titillate his eyelids when fhqjf need to unclose. Long limbed parsons of the motive temperament, those who require much exercise, can main tain equilibrium, upon much less sleep than the nervous, cold blooded, thin skinned kind. The former waken early, filled with vitality and vigor, and de3ire to talk and laugh at once. They havo full command of their powers upon regaining conscious ness. But the person of nervous tempera ment arouses himself slowly. He retraces his footsteps lingermgly from tho land of dreams, and only gradually regains the full use of mind and body. All such idiosyn crasies ought to be respected if one would feel at his best. Good Housekeeping. Tenrel a Trap. "Would you mind holding my baby a moment," inquired the young matron, sweetly, "while I go into the next car to get a drink for Eido?' The elderly but well preserved traveler shook his head suspiciously. "Please excuse me, ma'am," he said, politely, "I can't do that, but I will er tako pleasure in holding Fido while r, ot. i -i fio babv a drink."

They tell a good story of a prominent counselor at law of this city, which has thus far escaped the types, but it is really too good to bconjoyod only by the brethren of the bar, as it pass-as around, the circle. He was engaged as counsel for -a railroad corporation, defending it on trial at cir cuit, against a claim forper3pnal injuries, in which another prominent legal firm were attorneys for the plaintiff, and had made a good case. Our worthy friend saw that a verdict against his client would be inevitable, so he endeavored to "mitigate the damage-" by adopting a novel line of argument to the jury. He assured them that the injuries to the plaintiff's person were trivial, and that no action would have been brought if the op posing counsel had not Tirged it, and that they might rest assured that whatever amount they would assess against the cor poration defendant at least one-half of it would be gathered in by the attorneys. When the jury went out they were not long in agreeing that the plaintiff was en titled to recover, and the snm was fixed in the verdict rendered at 57,000. It was sub sequently learned that the jurors had first fixed it at ?3,500, when one of the jurors remarked, "Do yon mind what Mr. said that (naming plaintiff's attorneys) would git half the amount, and as half of $3,500 would. not bo enough why not donbie it?" "Gentlemen, shall wo make it 7,000 then?" queried the foreman, and all nodded in acquiescence. Albany Argus. Failed to Keep His Appointment. In one of the frontier settlements in the wild west a German cobbler was elected police justice. His reputation as an honest toiler was well established, but his legal knowledge and sense of humor were so far of unknown quantities. One of his first cases was that of a tough citizen who was duly arraigned fora breach of the peace. The justice heard the evi dence in the cape nnd pronounced sentence of three months in jail. This so enraged the defendant that he ended a vigorous abuse of the court by promising to call on him promptly that day three months and prepare him for a first class funeral. Th judge heard this abuse silently, and then, without any emotion, cogitated as follows: "Yell you kills me today three months agoHou? Let me see. 'This ia Angust first. Three months vill be Xorember first. Thanksgiving vill fee twenty-fifth- I vill miss my Thanksgiving dinner. Christmas is next. I vill miss Christmas too. Six months from August first vill be Shanu arj I makes it sir months, und den you kills me, vill It? You Bhust go right ayay to jail six months, and then I nee you any more I shous shoot you so full of Jead it vill take von steam derrick to lift you down to your grave. You hoar me" The six months were up long ago, and the justice still sits upon his cobbler's bench when not dispensing justice from his official seat. The tough citizen is pre sumably herding cattlo. New York Press. Music as a jredlcine. The soothing and beneficial influence of music upon the mind has beon recognized from time immemorial, and now an. in stance is related in Popular Science News where it appears to have exercised a di rectly medicinal effect upon the physical frame. An "English gentleman tells a story of hi son, agr-d 6 Tears, moribund with typhoid uite insensible, abdomen tym panitic, puis failing, and said by hi phy sicians "not to lat the night out." Car bolic add was gien with some good effect, while the doctor staid up all nbfht ex tha bedside; but the coma continued. Finally the fatier, knowing that the boy was in tensely fond of mtunc, procured a nics, large music box. He asked his son if he would like to hextr it play. No response and no sign of recog1 nition. The music box was t agoing. It was not long before his countenance changed and his body became uatisy. Aiter a whil ho tamed over on to his side. The box -spas put behind his back. Alter another tuna ha turned OTer to it, and become conscious fo as to respond to questions. "Now. s$a here," ald Ir. Thompson, "this is for your crsrn tua, and Jhall be called WHlie's music box."" Tie bar j&oicadrxians c d3a2asia3: allhcd it fcept playing. Tne result was reaction continued; he responded, to treatment and recovered. Certainly, musicwas a medi cine in this case. The Game of Proverbs. A game calling for ingenuity is "Prov erbs." It is rather T)luVbui perhaps is not known to all. One player lrmade to leave the room, then ttffee remapping select a proverb :more or less femfjiar. The first player thtm. returns and- ass eath player a question. The answer must contain a word of the proverb, and-must be brought in in its proper turn. When this is not done in a very clever way die first player soon selects the word, andSavingthe clpw, gives the tvholo proverb anil taEes his seat, the detectediplav;er.tbon leaving the room.

Cor. Springfield Homestead. Some T7e3tthy Batchers. The original John Jacob Astor was the son of a'butcher in the town of Waldorf, Germany, and served an.apprenticeship at the block with his father until he reached the age of IT, and took fortune at its tideby emigrating to America. Phil Armour, the big Chicago packer and.xailroad man, says that he is "only a botcher," and he was such in his youth. Fqrepaugh, the show man, was the son of a Philadelphia butch er, and when only 9 years old he became his father's assistant; in the little shop that made them their living. The two great turfmen of the day, the Dwyers, started in life as butchers, and as recently as 1876 they had a stall in Washington market, New York city. Exchange. rio'd Davo to TJvo a Long Time.

The leading citizens of Lake Forest, a suburb of Chicago, have raised funds to pay for the erection of a monument to the memory of Samuel Dent, who, according to the statement of their printed circular, "was a worthy citizen, the children's hero, and everybody's friend." Dent, who was an Alabama negro and a slave before the war, became a resident of Lake Forest in 1871, and during the subsequent years amassed quite a competency as an express and liyery man. The secret of his popular ity may "best be indicated by an extract from an interview had with him not long before his death. "Now, sab," he said, "I doan' know aa you'll b'liebe it, but I can hones'ly say dat dare ain' a man in Lake Forest what has done more to build up de place dan Sam TJXCLK SAM Diarr. Dent has. When a man comes to town to buy a place he says: "Your name Dent? Oh. ves: I heard ob vou I want you to j show me do place.' I habe heard men tell dat dey wouldn' habe bought property here if I-hadn' showed 'eta do place in dc way I did, puttin' de bes1 foot forward. A little- word at do right time will influence a man powTnl when he's bnyin' a place. An' when folks comes here wid chillen to put 'em in de school I alius drives 'em 'ronn' by de nice places fust 'roun' by Senator FutwbII's an John V. Farwell's, ap' dey says: 'Oh, my! what a loTely placet Jls' do nlacc faw to sen' our chillen.' An' dey pnts 'em rn de schools. "How 'bout dem pretty gals what goes to do seminary? Day &H knows Uncle Sam Dent. You'd otter see eui scramble to sit on de front ees&Trid Dent when dey goes out faw a ride.

The receipts of cotton at the ports for tho -ear which is now drawing to a close, are in excess of those of last year hy over a quarter of million of bales, but the receipts at the Gulf ports are, for the same period, almost a million of bales in excess; while, then, it is evident that more cotton was produced in the south last year than the year before, it is also plainly evident that the Gulf ports must have drawn to themselves much cotton which, otherwise,' would naturally have moved toward the Atlantic ports. The most potent factor in helping along this increasing volumeiof cotton to those ports are the roads having New Orleans as their terminus, as wjll be seen by the following clipping from the New Orleans Times-Democrat: "New Orleans has no reason to feel ashamed of herelf. Her receipts are, gross, 2, 123,447, net 1,930,331. Percentage of port receipts 33.7, last year 30.7, season of 1887-88 32.3. The receipts hero have increased from all sources except the Southern Pacific and the'New Orleans &r Northeastern, which sliow a slight de cline. The Illinois Centital lias increased its receipts 39,04(5 bales, 'i'yexas Pacific 133,802. Mississippi Valley 74.883, and the other sources of receipts show a similar improvement. It) has been a good cotton year for New-Orleans, but we have every reason to believe that the next will be better."' New Orleans has long be en the greatest cotton market in the worlol, and it will probably continue to be, though the opening of deep water ports on the western gulf coast will divert a large per cent of that crop from the Crescent City market, and this addition to the tonnage of outgoing shipments cannot but add to the importance of the said gulf ports in the export trade. And all this will help the. west. A MONTH OP FIRES. Contrary to usual experience, the month of July 'had a very bad fire re cord, and the insurance companies, so we learn from eastern exchanges, are somewhat disturbed thereby. It is not easy to account for this unex pected increase of conflagration at a s-eason of the year -when such events are expected to bo less frequent than atany other time. It is significant, however, that the losses have been widelj' dis tributed oer the country, principally by the burning of single buildings, and that the insurance companies report a slow ness in making their premium collec tions. These conditions may not prove an excess of incendiarism, but they at least point; unpleasantly in that direc tion. But whatever the cause, the results have been abnormal.- and suificienth' alarming to excite unusual attention and a demand for closer watchfulness on the part of all concerned. Naturally the lire insurance companies will be tho first to feel tho effects of these increased losses, and if the same condition of things should continue for a month or two longer it is feared that some of the smaller companies may be swamped. In the end, however, property owners and communities will be the ones to suf fer, if the July record should prove to be anything more than an incomprehensi ble vagary of the law of averages. But the fact is sufficiently important to em phasize more than ever tho necessity of vigilance. No excels of "ecaution can be regarded as in any way unjustifiable, and neglect or hazardous fire measures of any kind will not fall short of crimin ality. Whether tenable or not tho theory is advanced that the tightness of money matters has had much to do with the increase of the midsummer fire record, and this theory would be given additional color by the activity of the insurance companies were that not a pefectly natural effect whatever bo the cause, if indeed thero be any specific reason therefor. Our own notion is that it is more in the nature of the epedemic theory that seems to obtain in regard to disasters of various kinds, though which are indefinable or inexplicable upon any commonly accepted line of theorizing. The Republicans of the state are all pointing with pride to the platform adopted by the Dodge City convention. :is being the correct exposition of Re publican principles at the present time. The Farmers Alliance are referred to it with the positive assurance that it pro vides for all their wants and meets all of their demands. The Democrats, too, are completely disarmed by the broad and catholic provisions of that superb instru ment. But somehow or other neither tho Alliance fellers nor Democrats are falling over each other in the scramble to get on the aforesaid platform. But that's all right: if they don't want it they don't have to take it: there will be plenty of Republicans to occupy all the avail able space, and it may take some crowd ing to get them all on. The Times of Thursday boasts that "the Kansas City hog market is tho best in tho world for western shippers." but with prices on that market exactly the sHme as they were on the Wichita mar ket the day previous, from which quota tions the Times made its boast, we fail to see where the "best"' comes in. par ticularly to western shippers who are as near and nearer this market than that. Fact is. market quotations taken one day with another, show that the Wich ita market is the best for all who can reach it with equal facility, on account of the saving of time, shrinkage snd ex- pense everything is taken here, and at the best prices, the day it is received, little or nothing going over to another day to glut the market. William Walter Phelps, our minister at Berlin, is said to have touched the heart of hearts of the Germans by his fondness for onion tart. This fragrant dish is prepared by slicing the onions and placing them iu a platter lined with dough, ami baking in a quick oven. Seasoned with pepp-r and soaked in melted butter, the tart Ls served piping hot and eaten at once. Wlx?n the wind is with him American visitors at Berlin jestingly say tlat Mr. Phelps' approach can be preceived as he comes along Unter den Linden several minutes before he can be seen. He proposes to make onion tarts popular in this country, es pecially among statesmen who court the German vote. That was a high sounding scheme the dispatches gave out yesterday morning wherein the Colorado United States sen- a tors were made the principal purchas ers of the Denver News and that Hon. J. S. Clarkson was to be the editor-in-chief but it seems to have been concocted with out the latter gentleman's knowledge or consent. He says he knows nothing of any such deal and that he certainly will not be the editor of the new paper. He does not deny the Japan business ar rangement that he is sai I to be at the head of, however. It make look queue rious to see John S. turn Jap, but no one will deny him such privilege, if he wants to enjoy it. In speaking of the Breckenridge-Clay-ton imbroglio the Leavenworth Times thinks Mr. Breckenridge should have re signed at once when the contest came up and thus save all this bother and scandal. This is asking or expecting too much. If he was not elected to the seat it was not his to resign, and to liave quit at the beginning would have been a vir tual acknowledgement that he was at least particeps criminis in the affair, which is unnatural and not expected however guilty he may be. To our mind the course and the result of the whole proceeding was the only reason able one that could have been pursued; and yet as to the final outcome it was but a pro forma proceeding, as he will no doubt ask for an endorsement from his constituency and it will be given him. The Emporia Republican has become so wabbly in its politics that it is a hard matter to keep track of it. It is like the Irishman's flea, when you think you've got your finger on it is when you are fooled. It keeps up a running fight on Senator Ingalls but champions the Farmers' Alliance that is claimed to be strongly in favor of him. But his little excerpt from the Republican's columns will give a more accurate idea of its methods if not its intents: "The Atchison Champion sided with the Democrats on the taiiff, and the Kansas Republican dailies roasted it unmercifully. Senator Plumb did the same tiling, and the same papers praise him. The difference is that Senator Plumb is not openly fight ing Ingalls." These are the days when the war vet erans of the sixties are singing "rally round the fiag," and making the welkin ring as a reminder of those thrilling days of a quarter of a century ago. Grand Army re-unions are the order of the day, and the camp-firo blazes in valley and on hill-top. Next week it Avill be lighted on Bunker Hill. The Hub is glad to see the "boys" enjoy themselves they had it hard enough once; and while they are enjoying themselves, they are stirring the flame of patriotism in younger breasts, and keeping alive the spirit which flashed out at Lexington and burst into a flame of death and glory on the field of Gettvsburg. The acreage of sorghum in Kansas is reported at 10,700 acres, agaiast 0,300 acres last year. The crop is in good con dition, and the product is almost entirely contracted for by the different companies at prices ranging from $1.50 to $2 per ton. The works at Medicine Lodge will lead off in active operations for the season next Monday. Considerable work has been done thero in making ready for the season's run and the plant is thought to be in perfect condition: big results are looked for. The other factories in the state are all reported in good shape and the very best results are expected. At the time of his death, General Fre mont was engaged upon a paper for the Century's forthcoming series on the California gold-hunters. "Finding Paths to California' was not only to deal with the several exploring expeditions, but to narrate the writer's intimate connec tion with the events which led to tho conquest and occupation of the territory. A first draft of the article had been made, and the work will be completed by Mrs. Fremont, who has already written an introduction for as well as a supple ment describing her life at Monterey in 1840. Neither the wholesale expulsion of tho Jews nor all the restrictive measures of an autocratic power can save the head of the czar. The latest plot against his life, which involved army officers of high rank, shows that the enemies of the czar are vigilant and persistent. A violent death to the Russian ruler is among the certainties of the future unless a merci ful administration shall take the place of the present tyranny. His bland and childlike fondness for birds' eggs and other juvenile facts won't save bun. Prof' Snow's chinch bug exterminator reems to be a success. The Cedar Vale- Star tells of a farmer in Chautauqua county who. upon the appearance of the voracious pests in his corn, sent to Prof. Snow for some of his infested bugs: he received six, turned them loose in a forty-acre field that was infesed by millions of the bugs, and in a day or two he had the satisfaction of seeing the field entire ly cleared of live bugs, but the ground was literallv covered with dead ones. If the Australian ballot system can be manipulated to Democratic advantage generally, as it seems to liave been at Chattanooga. Tenn., Thursday, it is not strange that that party should be so strongly in favor of it. And that seems to be the effect everywhere it has been tried. It looks like there is a trick in it somewhere. We always liave been suspieious of it. Tho Second district Republican con vention at Kansas City wouldn't so mnch as give the anti-Funston fellows a chance to ?ay grace over their dish of crow. At that convention a female by the name of Grace Smith, from Lawrence of course, sousrht admission as a delegate, but the only consideration shown her was the priviJege of going home and resuming Iter dishwashing duties. Chicago has fifty-one postoffices witliin the present city limits. That gives some indication of tlie way in which the Windy City has absorbed the little towns aad villages in its neighborhood. It is not difficult to run up a population of 1,09$, O&O when from two to three score out side settlements are corralled. There are only fifty-one thousand white people in Arizona, less than twice the population of Wichita, and yet that territory laas the gall to ask for statehood. Oklahoma is more entitled to snch preferment by far, youns; as the latter is. A report comes from Berlin that the Emperor William is "hard up." Most people would be quite willing to be in that state of impecuniosity if they could have the privilege of accompanying it with the luxuries that the emperor, is able to pay or run in debfcfor at home and the good time he has abroad. The owner of the great horse Axtel listed his value at $100. Members of the Farmers' Alliance appeared before the Terre' Haute, Ind., equalization board and demanded that the value be $75,000. Axtel cost $105,000, and makes $40,000 a year. The board raised the valuation to $SO,000. The Fanners' Alliance of Louisiana has declared-against the lottery grant.

Will Be the Leader. From the Peabody Gazette. Col. J. R. Hallowell, of Wichita, has been nominated for congress on a splen did platform, and his election is a fore gone conclusion. Before the end of his second term the Gazette predicts that he will be the leader of the Kansas dele gation. Will be Heard From. From the WhitewaterTribune. The Seventh district has nominated the brave souldier boy, Col. James Hal lowell as a candidate for congress. A better man could scarcely be found and when he readies Washington the mem ber from the Seventh congressional dis trict of Kansas will be heard from, and it will be in a manner that shall be a credit to the entire state. His Record Par Excellence. From the Sterling Champion, Wichita captured the congressional plum at Dodge City, her candidate, Col. James R. Hallowell, getting there in good shape. The convention was har monious throughout, and his nomina tion was made Unanimous. His record as a Republican'is par' excellence and he will make a good representative for the 7th district. Brilliant, Able. Magnectlc. From the Caldwell News. The distinguished Republican and Kansan, Hon. J. R. Hollowell, nomina ted for congress by the Republicans of the Seventh district at Dodge City last Thursday. Col. Hallowell hails from Wichita and is too well known to need introduction to the people of this section. He is brilliant, magnectic and able and withal enjoys the reputation of being true to his friends. The big Seventh will roll up a magnificent majority next No vember for James R. Hallowell. A Sort 01 a Political Topsey. From the Pratt Register (Dem.) The convention which framed and adopted that platform and nominated Hallowell for congress was nothing more nor less than a caucus a party gather ing for a specific purpose. Every doc trine that it enunciated pertained to economic questions and it permits the candidate to repudiate them all. Mr. Hallowell is not the Republican candi date he is the candidate of no party, represents no idea, stands upon no plat form, and can make no demands upon party feaity for support. The Candidate and Platform. From the Newton Kansan. The Republicans of the Seventh Kan sas district were particularly fortunate in their selection of a candidate for congress, Colonel Hallowell being a gentleman of most excellent mental j attainments: a readv, forcible and con vincing debater and earnest Republican thoroughly infused with a desire to pro mote the welfare of his fellowmen, and a man who has ever proven true to his friends. He entered the army when quite a lad, and through meritorious service was rapidly promoted until he obtained a colonelcy while scarcely out of his teens. With" Colonel Hallowell in congress the people of the "Big Seventh" may rest assured they have a representa tive who will zealously look after all their interest-. The resolutions adopted by tho Dodtje City convention, cover the earth and all thero is in it, on it or above it; and if the committee could have had more time without fear of exhausting the world's supply of paper, they would doubtless have explored other worlds in search of other ideas to incorporate therein. His Majority "Will be Larger. From the Klmnaan Leader-Courier. Col. James R. Hallowell. of Wichita, was nominated for congress by the Re publicans at Dodge City, last week. 2o nomination ofrecentyears has given sue 1 wide-spread and general satisfaction. He is a man of broad intellect.and thorough ly equipped to represent the big Seventh in the popular branch of congress. He was a gallant soldier during the rebellion, enlisting as a private at the age of IS. and finallv reached the rank of colonel at 22, entirelv on his merits as a soldier. He was one of the first in the whole country to advocate a service pension for j the survivors of the late war. He has been in the sunflower state twenty-one years and is a thorough Kansan. His sympathies have always been with the agricultural people and at a member from this district he will most ably rep resent their interests. The nomination of Simpcon at Great Bnd makes CoL Hallowell's election a certainty and it is generally predicted that his majority will be larger than than of Peters two years ago.

Recently a correspondent writing un der the name "Aldrenie" took issue with the general American idea of the ease with which we could do our English parent up in a war. He was answered by some one from the American side un der an assumed name which brought up the question of the facts of the liistory of the war of 1776. With tliis phase of the controversy I wish to deal. In the fifth volume of Guizot's history of France; under the word Beaumarchais in a stan dard encyclopedia end several biogra phies of the man, may be found a sketch of P. A. C. Beaumarchais, born French 1732, died 1799. This man was born poor; reared a watchmaker, became second to Mulliene as a dramatic writer, became a politician and courtier under great difficulties. He was a great merchant and banker and the friend of the common people. He re joiced in and was the founder of the French revolutionary title of "citizen."' The train, of events calculated to insure American independence had been deeply laid in the previous seven years' war if not long before at Cressy and Agincourt. England and her allies had humbled France and robbed her of the East and West Indies, Canada and many of the previous conquests of the Fourteenth Lewis. Eveiy good Frenchman wanted revenue. But the nobles wanted to con quer America, while the philosophers and their desciples wished America to become free. This division of opinion was hindering French interference in America's behalf, when the able and practical Beaumarchais took up a collec tion, advanced large sums of his own and gave American agitators their first help. He organized a great forwarding house under the firm name of Rodeigo, Hortalez Co. From this house millions in money, arms, munitions and equipage came to succor the rebel colonists. Silas Dean wrote to congress saying Beaumarchais was the greatest friend to America in Europe. But Washington and others, being Protestant participants against France in the colonial wars, were afraid of her intrigues. They looked with suspicion upon the Catholic people who were en couraging their Protestant countrymen. It took a good deal of diplomacy to get the Protestant Americans to take help from their Catholic friends, especially to admit a French army on their soil. Finally all objections and much preju dice was overcome; the French declared war, landed their army and mingled on friendly and social terms with the colonists. The first French campaign was a dancing one with the Yankee girls. In the end the leading Catholic coun tries which had suffered most from the English Protestent alliance of years be fore brought such political pressure to bear upon all Europe that they severally recognized the independence of the thirteen colonies. The Americans fought well in great part during the long war. But thero are few well informed men who believe that they ever could have secured independence against the mother country in a single handed war. Euroje had many scores to settle with Great Britain. And it was the keener fore sight of Burke, Chatham, Conway and Fox that foresaw this rather than any love they had for that liberty which the colonists believed in, that caused them to oppose war and befriend America. Thus the United States became the climax of years of European diplomacy, or rather the finger of God had made a period. It is remarkable that when England reached her proud period of conquest in the seven years' war, that a series of events took place which incidentally conferred greater empire upon her most English colonists the United States than that which she conquered altogether. The Revolution gave us the territories of the thirteen colonists; and her persistent war upon France and Napolcan gave us the empire of the then Louisiana; Louisi ana supplementedEnglish colonial slavery which in turn gave us Florida, Texas, California and New Mexico, and even clamored for "fifty-four forty or fight." But we never honored Beaumarchais; nor does any American liistory that I know of mention him. Few Americans possibly ever heard of him. Indeed we as a nation, have been ungrateful to France in many respects. Yet, out of her jealousy and in part her love, we were bom a great nation. W E, Hutchinson. ROBERT TOOMBS. Ben C Tlinrman in New York Time. I never met "Bob' Toomls but once after tho war. He was a curious com bination of tlie genial and severe a sort of iceberg in the tropics, ne criticised the late Jefferson Davis severely, and declared that the election of tlie latter sealed the fate of the Confederacy at the start. Ho told mo that Davis way a martinet, and that he ridiculed the idea of any southerner or Yankee succeeding in anything who wasn't educated and spurred at West Point; that he w:ts too much of an aristocrat when all south erners should have been equal; that he thought the north could not recover from Fredericksburg and Chickamanga. and that the late "ex-president' belieVed himself a god of war: that if the Confed eracy had won it would have gone to pieces in a year or thrown the Miseissip pian out; that he was jealous, envious, narrow-minded, overbearing and lack ing in military knowledge and real statesmanship. "He would have been a good civil engineer or newspaper nun if he had been properly educated. He did hate me well, Toombs added, and then he laughed without chang ing his features; he gnashed his teeth without making a sound, and glared savagely but childlike. If. at the gates of heaven, St. Peter asked Toombs where he came from he undoubtedly an swered: "Nowhere."' "Had you no country?" "No sir." "Where were you born?" "Washington, Wilkes county, Georgia, named after tlie greatest ami best rebel that ever lived." "Wht are your qualifications:-" "That I am honest in my conviction: tliat my father w-s a revolutionary soldier and" my mother a teautiful woman of Pennsylvania, that I have lived fifty odd years with a nuxlel wife, w-ith whom only a short time aeo I celebrated our golden weddiasr: that I hate Joe Brown as cordinllv as the deril is supposed to hate holy water: that I have never read Jeff Davis 'Rise aad Full of the Confederate Government,' and am for ever aad ever an unrecon structed rebel." Toombs believed tJat if thj south had made the abolition of slavery a part of its policy, it would have lad England anu France on its side, and that the con federacy -vifcuk! hav succeeded. It was his boast that his latchkevs were so conspicuously out that no hotel could exist m tl- town of Washington. He awl m wife were both renowned for their hospitality, and claimed that asr man who had money enough to put up at a hotel had character enough to 'preswme upon their hospitality.

We could have got all the money and arms and ships we wanted, for cotton was king, especially when it was worth half a dollar a pound. It was Toombs, however, who onco declared in the senate that he would live to see the grass grow in the streets of Boston, and have the roll call of his slaves made upon Bunker Hill, or words to that effect. NOTHING TO ARBITRATE. From the Cliicngo Inter-Ocean. The questions at Lsue are very simple, and in fact resolve themselves into this one: By what autnority does Great Britain claim now any rights in Behring sea which wero never claimed or exer cised in the same waters until 1S30? During the entire period of Russian own ership of Alaska, and then during tho period subsequent to our purchase, down to the day mentioned, tho right main tained by Mr. Blaine was not questioned or infringed upon by England or auy other power. It is really a misnomer to call those waters "Behring sea." The old term, Behring straits, Ls far more appropriate. Mr. Blaine presses this question, but Mr. Salisbury evades it. falling back upon tho general denial of tho right of this country to treat these waters as a "closed sea." The (rurJi is. that in order to justify the high-handed outrage of certain Canadian slops the British irovernnient was obliged to fall back upon that generalization. If Swre tary Bayard had Ixen equal to tho emergency four years ago he would have secured a prompt correction of tho wrong, but, finding a putty man in charge of the state department the British foreign offico sustained the Canadian depredators in the evident hope of being able to close out tho mnfc- ter tiurmg me .nayuru legum-. x-unui in this, the contention is lor arbitration when, in point of fact, thero is nothing to arbitrate. A TOUCH OF TRUB PATHOS. From the Cincinnati Co:iiiiiercll-GaeUe. In the Cincinnati postofiice recently, in the general deposit of mail gathered at noon, was a much thumbed and tour stained postal card.

Yet many a man has Iwen captivated by a word which seems to olTer a great need of human nature something to loan upon. Tho words "home market" form another seductive phrase, and one without tho signification ordinarily deduced. Pro tectionists imply, and may Injlievo, that without protection thoro would bo no "home market," whereas that market is like tho poor; it is always with ug.

Those that stay at home daring the sum mer are not nearly so badly off as might be supposed. When the winter season opens they have not so much to talk about, how ever, but it is questionable if they have not more good wholesome food for reflection. Traveling is hard work at best, and the labor spent in finding rest and enjoyment at the watering places and summer resorts is a pretty good price in itself to pay for a summer's outing. How often do your absent friends think of home and wish they were there? How many would exchange the advertised and picturesque scenery of some famous resort for a cool and comfortable evening on their own front porch? How many hurry homo before the close of tho season to 'tm 'iV t r, ti tez. i o-:., r,H. -1 I l T:f"!'r? SCENE ABOVE OAK STREET BRIDGE, catch a few weeks rest before the winter season of gaiety comes on? What can equal the comforts of home, the cool mother-hubbard and surrounded by those one loves best? Yesterday evening a party was standing on the Oak street bridge en joying the cool breeze of the evening and watching the hundreds of little pleasure boats that dotted the river. The splashing of an oar and the merry laugh of some pleasure party shooting the bridge were a diversion to the mind. The boat man's song in the distance and the faint twanging of guitars and mandolines blen ded with the drowsy murmuring of the foliage and everything was characteristic of enjoyment and comfort. The conversa tion took no such turn as already intima ted because people never sneak of what is in their minds but involuntarily every one made a mental comparison between home and abroad much to the advantage of tho former. Fifty different pleasure parties were counted during the evening all finding en joyment according to their own peculiar methods. One can only be comfortable at best, and without doubt last night's scene was a more perfect picture in that particu lar than could be found between Boston and the Rockies. The Woodman steam launch scuds up and down loaded to the gunwhales with pleasure seekers. Many of the most beautiful residences of the city are on the banks of tho little river and one of the incidents of every evening is the salutations of friends who are at homo and on tho water. The waving of handker chiefs and the shrill salute of tho boat's whistle occupy a moment. The water is probably lower in the river this season than ever before for various reasons but there is enough and "Enough is as good as a feast." There is just enough current to keep it perfectly clear and not sufficient to make navigation burdensome. The overhanging trees abrupt turns and bold banks in many places make the scenery all that could be desired while the river's serpentine course enables it to be accommodating and flow by ever body's house. The Wichita Boat club has given over practice for the season, alleging that the water is too low to launch their boats with ease. Everything about the boat house is well kept up, how ever, and the cooler weather of September will likely bring on some racing. The fact of the matter is the boys at present can find more enjoyment in the pleasure boats and the warm weather enables their love of fun to get the best of their ambition to become oarsmen. There are three stages of boating. The samo is equally true of all kinds of water sports and is applicable to tho commodore skipper of a packet ship, ocean greyhound, yacht or cockle shell. The first is timidity that comes from utter ignorance of the water and tho peculiarities of boats and vessels. Combined with this timidity is a feeling of eujoy- A STKAM LAUNCH TARTY, menfc and novelty that is invigorating and adds a charm to this diversion unknown to all other sports. This is a safe stage be cause caution is always uppermost in the mind. The second stage is a confidence that naturallv follows familiarity. The person begins to think that they know all about boats and their manner of doing things is characterized by a recklessness that makes an old timer nervous. It is a difficult stace to pass through because nothing but experience can teach one. Possibly a lit tle experience in more dangerous waters thau the smooth Arkansas would be bene ficial and open one's eyes to the dangers that lurk in the depths of the most placid stream. A sudden squall, a capsize, the lifeless form of some friend, the verdict, drowned through ignorance, are all good teachers. In this stage caution is over shadowed by a false confidence. The thirdstage is tho confidence that comes from experience nnd knowledge. The same caution that belonged to the stage of timidity returns, and only in this stage is the real pleasure of aquatic sports known. He who has laid aside all caution and placed entire reliance on his skill and prowess because a human life was strug gling helplessly in an angry sea has learn ed the lesson of boating and can find en joyment on all waters. There is a secret of enjoyment in boat jnjr a story that can not be taught, "Only those who brave its danjors Comprehend its mysteries." Y. M. C A. Tomorrow afternoon will be observed as Midsummer Rally day. All interested in making it a great success please call at the rooms today and obtain supplies of a very neatly printed invitation.

Minturn Worden, representing the Lozier Yost Bicycle Manufacturing company of Toledo, Ohio, spent yesterday in the city, under the guidance of A. Jos. Henley, of bicycle fame. Mr. "Worden is not up to the mark, having been sick for several days in Salina, with bilious fever. He has been traveling by rail in order to recuperate and will leave here this morn ing for AVinfield, Arkansas City and the Territory. In a few days, as soon as health will permit, he will resume his wheel again. Mr. Worden has a record of 486 miles in four days, carrying forty pound of bag gage. His present trip is not for record but is more of a business order and he pro proses to make all the points where his company has agents. Mr. Worden has also has a record of 1G miles, on the road with baggage, in one hour. It is his present intention to try to break the record between Xew York and San Francisco in October next. The bycicle men say the time at present is very slow and will be beaten by the first good athlete that tackles the trip. Mr. Worden is a member of the Manhattan Atletic club of New York the richest athletic club in the world.and can beast of a very neat record in various lines. He has put up a fifty-pound dumb bell sixty-nine times in twenty sec onds, has lifted S61 pounds dead lift and 1,740 pounds in harness. To conclude his record Mr. Worden can wear 112 medals, prizes in various athletic contests. From the territory he goes to Niagara to the meeting of the L A. W. which convenes there August 25, 26 and 27. On the present trip his mileage will exceed 6,000 miles a little but after leaving Niagara he will add another 5,000 to it. BURGLARS AGAIN. A Bold Attempt at Burglary Frnstrated by the Violence of the Police. Last night, shortly before 12 o'clock, a nistol shot was fired in the vicinity of Water and First street, which seems to have been the sequel to a bold attempt at burglary. For several days past Officer Dunbar has been watching three men whom he took to be crocked, and he has every reason to believe that the two who refused to halt last night even on a sum mons from a revolver, are a part of the same gang. Although he has come out on tho streets during the day, he has never been able to see them, but on several evenings shortly before midnight he would notice them in consultation on some part of his beat. He attempted to watch them unperceived, but they would slip away as mysteriously as they appeared, which led the officer to suppose they must have had room somewhere near by. Although being convinced in his own mind that there was something wrong about them, he concluded they had no immediate de signs and paid less attention to them than usual. Their favorite stand was in front of the Arcade or Munson's and Mc Namaar's, and onco when standing in front of the former place tho officer fancied they had a big bunch of keys in M.oin nnpniinn. As they were very cautious, however, he did not know it for a fact and he had about come to the conclusion that it was his imagination. He had instructions from the chief to re lievo Turnkey Antrim last night at 12 o'clock and mentioned for the first time his suspicions of these men to Officer Parks, requesting him to keep an eye on them if they made their appearance. On his final round previous to reporting at headquarters he again noticed the men for the first time last night come west down the alley just north of Douglas, cross Main and keen on toward Water street. He thinks that they thought their movements were unparceived, as they paid no appar ent heed to anything. The officer imme diately went west on Douglas in order to watch them aud turned north on Water street, but they were nowhere to be seen. After a short and fruitless searcn ne was driven to the conclusion that they had mysteriously disappeared as usual. His curiosity was so much aroused that he made up his mind to investigate the alley between Main and Water. With that ob ject in view he turned out of Water street into a cross alley running just north of the Hotel Petzold. Just before reaching the alley in question ho heard a noise and in an instant two men were runnins at full speed north up tho alley toward First street. From the noise and the sound, as if they jumped, the officer is certain they were on a little wooden platform which is in tho rear entrance of the Arcade. It was his intention, if he could, to have come upon them unobserved to wait until he could have caught them, but their ears were too sharp. From a hasty examination of the premises afterwards it is evident that they had not got to work, but there can be no doubt regarding their intentions, or, else, why such a hasty retreat? Tne officer could not swear, of course, that thee are two of the three men ho saw going into the alley a few minutes before, but has no doubt on this point in his own mind. Glancing at the store and seeing that no entrance had been effected, he pursued the men up the alley and fired a shot to stop them. He got to First street and met Dep utv United States Marshal Metcalf, who had heard the shot and ran down to learn the cause. Metcalf was positive the men had not crossed First. They paid no nttcntion to the order to halt or the pistol shot. What became of the third man is a mystery as well but he doubtless made good his escape during the excitement in one of the cross passages of the allev. All three of the men were average height and build and dressed in clothes with col ored shirts on, probably flannel. The offi cer thinks that one of them had top boots on with his trousers tucked on the inside. If it had not been for the officer's vigi lence it Ls quite possible that t hey would have made a rich haul at the expense of the Arcade. THE GREAT HOG MARKET. The Wichita hog market is the bt in the world for western shippers. Freight rates considered, Wichita offers the ship per a market 10 cents better than Kansas City. The quality of the arrivals here has much improved latterly and comparatively few pigs or piggy sows wero included in vesterday's offerings. One point which shippers inclined to bill hogs through Wiohita should consider well is that when this market is higher than Chicago it is of course the better market, and that when the difference between local and Kansas City prices justifies shipment, there are alwavs plenty ol rkjtusas oil.) uuu3 uwc ready to jump in and secure the offerings. The southwestern shippers would always consult their own interests in billins direct to Wichita. TAIK MEETING. The executive committee of the Fair as sociation met yesterday afternoon. Mr. W. J. Wilson waa elected unanimously on the motion of Mx. Cook a a charter mem ber of the association. Mr. C. B. Ludlum tendered his resigna tion as treasurer on the grounds that his other duties would not allow him to attend to it- Colonel Milton Stewart was chosen by acclamation to succeed him. Various encouraging reports were read from different sources and the meeting ad journed. Mr. E. C- Cook, of College Hill, leaves this morning for Providence where he in tends to spend a few days at "The Rest." A GREAT GRAIN MAN. The General ilanajjer of the Texas Elevator System In Wichita. Thomas F. McEnnis, vice-president and general manager of the Texas Elevator company, which company owns a number of grain elevators throughout Texas, the one at Dallas being of one million one Hundred and eighty thousand bushels capacity, was in the city yesterday, and in company with E. B. Ebert called on the Eagle, Mr. McEnnis represents a grain and elevator company of great capital, carrying the reference backing of eleven banks. Knowing something of the situa tion here and appreciating that the undis puted fact that Wichita is the grain cen ter of Kansas and that she is the hub of the Santa Fe system with the lake mar kets the Mississippi river markets and the Gulf markets all equidistant from her, and the further fact that an elevator at this grain center could be managed at times very satisfac torily in connection with his Texas elevators and the Texas grain market, Mr. McEnnis comes up to look over the situation. After consulting with some of our leading men he left for Kansas City last evening to return to Wichita in a few days. He talked very encouragingly of his impression of the situation and while he did not use the word "probably" with all the emphasis begotten of conviction he was quite emphatic with the word "possi bly" in connection with an elevator for Wichita. Mr. Ebert, than whom few better posted men can be found in our community assures us that Mr. McEnnis is the man and that ho represents the company that Wichita ought to have and therefore the man and the company that the city ought to encourage.

The funeraf services will be held at his late resideuce Sunday, August 10, at 9 a. m., to which all friends are in vited. Deceased was born June 20, 1S6S, at Lin ton, Greene county, Indiana, and lived there and in Monroe county until he came to Wifihita in Ma v. 1SS6, where he has since resided. During his residence in this city deceased has been connected with the Wells-Fargo and Pacific Express companies, in which business he attained a good reputation among the patrons of these companies and the confidence of his companions in busi- For the past two years the dreaded dis ease has been making inroads on his sys tem, but with remarkable courage he con tinued his daily work until a short time before his death. Tho deceased leaves a mother and brother and a host of friends to mourn his los. The deceased led a pure, honest and quiet life, attracting a hot of true friends nnd admirers into the circle of hi- acquaint ance. Those of us who knew him best feel we have lost a precious jewel and a con stant and faithful friend. Peace be to his ashes and may his soul bask in the eternal sunlight ot god's presence. o E. II. SELLING MAIN STKEET BONDS. Messrs. Johnson. Martin and Carson, the special committee appointed to sell the Main street and Douglas avenue bonds will open sealed bids this afternoon at 4 o'clock at the council chamber. Each bidder will be required to put up a certi fied check for ?5,000 before his envelope will be accepted. In speaking of the mat ter yesterday, Chairman Johnson said that all the bidders knew the former price of the bonds, and it w;is tacidly under stood that a higher bid was the only one that would be accepted. He knew po-q tively that two ot the bids and he thouglit three, would ne in auvance 01 wiu iurmcr price. The bonds will be reissued, bear ing a later date, thus saving a neat sum in interest. He presumed no question could arise about the cancelling of the last sale, and on the whole he thought it would Iks bet ter for all concerned that affairs had taken their present turn. HUMANE WOKK. Agent Aspey of the Humane society took charge of a team of mules that had been standing on the streets the greater part of the day without feed or water. They were taken to Cooper's livery stable and cared for and they showed their ap preciation as plainly as animals can. The owner came around for them in the even ing and was quite willing to pay his little bill and say nothing about it. Officer Aspev says he will have to take up some of the town horses if they are not looked after better. He has given ample notice in several case? and no one muat be sur prised if they find their horse in the livery stable when they go for it at night. J.t teems strange that men can afford to ruin their horses by degrees when it is a loss to them just as certainly as if they were shot to say nothing of any humane consider ation. A KOA"-VY. At 1 o'clock this morning a double team belonging to Mr. Hardy, of North Main street, ran away with a yonng man named Brazier. They were fint noticed coming east on Douglas from the bridge at a furious rate. The sparks fiew from the pavement and for speed the like h seldom seen. The lap robe fell out near Main and the carnage nearly turned over several times in every block. Reaching Fourth avenue he managed to tarn south but in the ftrst block they ran into a tree which smashed the carriage and threw Braxier out. He was n5 badly hurt but had a pretty narrow escape. He said the borsas started without provocation and be could not control them. A PROSPECTIVE WEDDING. A well authenticated rumor is afloat that Miss Vesta Hobbs will really be married in about a week or ten days at Des Moines, la. The happy man is Mr. J. D. Long, a young gentleman of good business qualifi cations, having secured a fair share of this world's wealth and who adds to his posses sions an estimable young lady as his wife. They will travel for several weeks after which they will settle in Denver as their future home. Many friends in this city will forward their congratulations. FUNERAL NOTICE. The infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Oliver, 155 North Topeka, died yester day, aged 16 months. The funeral will take place from the residence at 9 o'clock Sunday morning. The entire community extends its sysmpatby to the bereaved parents. President of the Council Johnson had some valuable experience yesterday as act ins mayor of the city. His first case was a long.lank individual with an overcoat and fur cap, and not much other clothes, who wanted a permit to sell notions on the street. He had no money and his stock in trade was not very valuable. As he could not talk much English the case was all the more complicated. The per mit cost a dol lar and there was no way of gettingaround the matter unless the alderman paid the dol lar which he good naturedly did. The mer chant peddler did a fair day's business and is now known as "Johnson's protege." He does not care how soon the mayor comes back if this kiud of thing is going come up every day. THE COUHTS.

A few petty offenders from the preceding day were disposed of by Judge Museller in the usual way.

I like the prov erb because it .is true and because it is French. iSdouard' Charpenticr is my name, il am an Ameiican by birth, but that is alL From infancy, when I had a French nurse; in cYiildhcod, when I had a French govern ts3; through youth, passed in a French school, to manhood, devoted to French irt, I have freen French by sympa thy and education. My sch ool is the pLeine-aire, and my mas ter, could I but find him, is II. Duchesne. TvLDuchc sue has hai pictures in the salon for threo years, and pictures elsewhere, eagerly bo 3ght, and yet Paris knows not M. Duches ne. We know his house, his horse, his t arriagc, his sen-ants and his garden wall but he sees no one, speaks to no one. In Seed he has left Paris for a time, and wc -worship afar off. I have a s l-etch by this master which I treasure jeal wisly a pencil sketch of a great picture yet to come. I await it. M. Dncbesn paints from i&e model, and I paint from t, ie model cxc.fcslvely. It is the only way i o be firm, accurate, true. Without the m odel we may have German fantasy or Ec glish domesticity, but no modern French art. It i3 hard, too, to get models continually when one is but a student after five years' work, and one's pictures bring francs in deed, but not do 'lars. Still, there is G -eorgette! There, also, wc re Emilio and Pauline. But nowit is Georg cite, and she is adorable! 'Tis true she h:i3 not much soul, but then she has a charming body, and 'tis that I copy. Georgette and I ge on together to ad miration. How mu;h hotter is this than matrimony for an ai tist! How wise is M. Daudet! Antoino is my dearest friend. I paint with him, anc' we are happy. Georgette is my dearest mc-del. I paint from her, and wc arc happy. Into this pe aceful scene comes a letter from America, bringing much; emotion. It appears I h ad a great-uncle there, in some northeast! -rn corner of ISew England. Maine? No, V -mont. And it appeals, strangely enough, that this northeaster! great-uncle was seized in lis old nge with as. passion for French art at least I know not how else to account for his hunting xnc up through a lawyer and leaving me some quarter of a million when he died. An admirable great-uncle! But I must go homa and settle the prop erty. That is imperative. I must leave Paris, I must leave Autolne, I must leavu Gf-irgette! Could anything Lc further from Paris than a town in Vermont? No, not the Andaman islands. And could anything be further from Antoino and Georgette than the family of great-cousins I find myself among? But ono of them ah, heaven! some forty-seventh con'.sin, who is so beautiful that I forget she is an American, I forget Paris, I forget Antoi.ne yes, and even Gcorgottel Poor Gaorg-ettc! But this is f..U This cousin is not like tho other cousins I pursue, I inquire, I ascei-tain. Her name is Mary D. Grecnleaf. I shall call her Marie. And she couics from Boston. But beyond the came how can I describe hr? I havo seem beauty, yes, much hiAUty, in maid, matron and model, but I never saw anything; to equal this country g.r1. What a figure! No, not a "figure" the word shames h -r. She has a body, the body of a youn Diana, and a body a Xxd r. figure are two very different tinners. I am an artist, and I have lived in Pans, ;md I know the dif ference. The lawyers in Boston can settle that property, 1 find. The air is delightful in northern Ver mont in March. There are mountains, il uds, trees. I wiJl paint hero awhile. An, yes, and I will assist this shy young s -ill "Cousin Marie," say I, "come, let me teach you to paint!" "It would be too difficult for you, Mr. Carpenter it would take too long!" "Call me Edonard!" I cry. "Are we not c raisins? Cousin Edouard, I beg of you! And nothing is difficult when yon aro with me, Marie, nothing can be too long at your fcide!" "Thanks, Cousin Edward, but I think 1 will not impose on your good nature. Be sides, I shall not stay here. I go back to Boston to my aunt.' I find the air of Boston is good in March, and thore are places of intcrt thcro, and lising Amesriccn artists who deserve en couragement. I will stay in Boston awhile to assist the lawyers in settling my proper ty; it is necessary. I visit Menu continually. Am I not a cousin? I talk to her of life, of art, of Paris, of ZL Duchesne. I show her my precious bketch. "But," says she, "I am not wholly a wood nymph, as you seem fondly to imagine. I have been to Paris myself With my uncle years since." "Fairust cousin," say I, "if you have not I'hmi even to Boston I should still love youl Come and see Paris again with me!" And then she would laugh at me and send me away. Ah, yc-s! I had come even to mar iiage, you see! 1 soon found sho had the usual woman's f nth in those conventions. I gave her ".Yrtists' Wives." She said she had read it. Sho laughed at Daudet and me. I talked to her of ruined geniuses I had known mysolf, but she said a ruined gonius was no worsethan a ruined woman. One cannot reason with young girls. Do not believe I succumbed without a struggle. I even tore myself away and went to New York. It was not far enough I fear. I soon came back. She lived with an aunt, an adorable littla precision, with a horrible, strong minded aunt, and such a life as I led between them for a whole month. I call continually. I bury her in flowers. I take her to the theatre, aunt and all. And at this the aunt beemed greatly sur prised; but I disapprove of American familiarities. Xo; my wife and wifo sho must be shall be treated with punctilious luspect. Never was I so laughed at and argued with in my life as I was laughed at by that dreadful beauty and argued with by that dreadful aunt. The only rest was in pictures. Marie would look at picturos always, and seemed to have a real appreciation of them, almost an understanding, of a sort. So that I be gan to hope, dimly and faintly to hope, that bhe might grow to care for mine. To hare a wife who would care for one's art, who would come to one's studio but than the models! I paint from the model al most entirely, as I said, and I know what women aro about models without Daudet to tell me!

'Women are strangely inconsistent! Sho always sent me away, but I always came back. A fter about a month of this torture 1 chanced to iind her one soft May twilight without the aunt, sitting by a window in the fragrant dusk. She had flowers in her hand flowers J had sent her and sat looking down at them, her strong, pure profile clear against tho saffron sky. I came in quietly, and stood watching in a rapture of hope and admiration, and while I watched I saw a great pearl tear roll down among ray violets. That was enough. I sprang forward, I knelt beside her, 1 caught her hands in mine. I drew her to me. I cried exultantly: "You love mo! Aud I ah, God, how I love you!"' Even then she would have put me from her. She insisted that I did not know her yet; that sho ought to tell me. But I hold her close and kissed away her words, and said: "You love mc, perfect one, and I love you. Tho rest will be right." Then she laid her white hands on my shoulders and looked deep into my eyes. "I believe that is true," said she, "and 1 will marry you, Edward."

She was always on the point of telling me something and I would not let her. She seemed half repentant, half in jest. I pre ferred to trust her. Those clear, brown eyes, clear and bright, like brook water with the sun through it! And she would smile so! 'Tis not that I must remember. Am I sur? Sure! I laugh at myself.

Tale of the Eluegrass Country, BUI and OUter Tnlncs. There lives in one of the finest counties of Kentucky an aristocratic old gentle man, who, though brave at a time of: physical trouble, has never succeeded in summoning sufficient courage to shove him into the recklessness of paying a debt. Once tho colonel was in debt to a grocer that lived in a neighboring village. Ho must have been anew comer, for none of the "old-timers'' would trust the oH gentleman. One morning, just after the colonel had sat down on the gallery to smoke, the grocer came to the gate and shouted "Halloa!" "Get down and come right in, snh," the colonel called, getting up and cor dially advancing to meet the visitor. "I am delighted to see you this bright morning," said the host when ho had shown the grocer into the house. "You dont know me, I reckon." the grocer responded, giving the old man a peculiar look out of his keen eyes of trade. "Oh, most assuredly. You are the grocer." "You bet. Did you get that bill or, rather, them twenty bills I sent your" "I presume so, but I cannot say posi tively who sent them. I got so many favors of the kind that I hardly know whence they come." 'Tina man of business an' I want my money without any palarverin'. Do you understand?" "Perfectly, suh, and I cannot blame you. Business cannot be operated with out money." "But are you goin' to pay me?' "I cant pay you now." "When canyon?" "Let's see; this is the 10th of the month, ain't it?" "That's what it is." "Ah, ha! and to-morrow will be the 11th." "That's tho size of it." "Well, you come round between the 11th and the first of next month." "Will von pay me then?" "JS'o, I don't think I shall." "Then what's tho use of my comin?" "Xone that I can see." "Xot much. What I want is my money, and I'm goin' to have it or know the reason why." "I don't mind giving you tho reason. The reason appears to be that you'll not get the money. Xow look here: I have always made it a point to look -with fa vor on the methods of life established by other men. Youhavo your rules, and I have mine, but because our rules differ it is no reason for us to fall out. One of your rules is to collect every cent that is due j'ou. All right. Ono of my rules is not to pay a cent. All right." "No. it's not all right; 3011' bet your life it ain't. You've simply got to pony up." "By the way, let me give you a piece of advice with regard to that bill. Shall I?" "Yes." "Well, then, suo me." "I'll do it; you bet your lifo on that." The grocer brought suit. The colonel promptly appeared. Tho case went to trial and the grocer got judgment for $7. "I want my money now," baid the grocer. "And I want mine," tho colonel re plied. "Yours! I don't owe you anything." "Oh, yes. You see," tho old man add ed, "tho courts many years ago granted me license as a lawyer, and Til bo hanged if yon liaven't given mo my first case. Hen is the license." "Why, I haven't given you a case." "Oh, yes. I advised you to suo me and yon did so. My fee ia $10." "Mr. Billings," said the judgo (and he also owed tho grocer), "you will havo to pay tho amount." He did to, closed his storo, shot the judge's cow and ran away. Arkansaw Traveler. Supposing u Cune.

Lilian TVhiting. MES. FENTOFS MYSTEET. David Fenton stood behind his counter plunged in thought. From the lines upon his face it seemed that his reflections were not of a pleasant nature. This was really the case. The fact was business had been very dull for some time past, and in conse quenco of an oversupply probably dry Roods had fallen. It unfortunately hap pened that Mr. Fenton had laid in a large supply, bought on ninety dayc, anticipat ing a brisk demand and remunerative prices. But all his calculations were put out by the prevailing dullness and the de preciation, so that ho would not only meet with a loss, but it seemed very doubtful whether he could meet the payment now due. He had been in business for half a dozen years and met with moderate success. In deed he considered himself worth ten thousand dollars. But if he should be un able to meet his engagement, and his cred itor should lovy upon his stock at the pres ent time, the sacrifice would be such thai little or nothing would probably be left. It is not remarkable that under the cir cumstances he should feel a little irri table. His bill of goods must be paid for in three days, but he had only eight hun dred dollars toward the necessary threa thousand, and saw no way to obtain the balance. He had already applied to sev eral business acquaintances, but was in each case assured that money was tight, and that niuch as they would like to ao commodato him they wero quite unable. To this he could say nothing. Money was tight. Ho knew that verv well. If it had not been he would not have been a bor rower. While he was rather despondently con sidering what he could do he saw entering i ho door of his shop the spare form and vinegar visage of Miss Vincent, a maiden lady, noted for the very scant supply of personal attractions with which nature had supplied her, and no less for the dis position to pry into the affairs of her neigh bors, and pick up all the small bits oi floating scandal and give them the largest amount of publicity in her power. Mr. Fenton was not particularly glad to Bee Miss Vincent, for he knew very well lhat her purchases were generally very small, and not likely to help him material ly toward raising tho two thousand dol lars odd which he needed to make up hia pavment. Still sh,e was a customer prob ably, and his face from habit assumed the customary tradesman's smile as ho said: "Good morning, Miss Vincent; what can I show you?" "Well, I'm not wanting much, Mr. Fen ton," said the spinster in a voice of high pitch, "though I believe I make most ol iny purchases of drv goods of you." "Then you must be wonderfully sparing in jour wants," thought the shopkeeper; but he only said: "lam glad to hear it. We are ready to sell am thing from a silkdresa pattern to a spool of cotton." "That is just what I came in for," said ?fiss Vincent. "Tho silk dress pattern? What shade will you look at"" "No, I don't mean that. It's a spool oi cotton I want." "I think I can supply you." Mifas Vincent after a while found a spool of cotton to suit her, and paid for it, man aging to be one penny short. "I'll bring in tho other penny next time," she said. "It's of no consequence. Miss Vincent," .aid tho merchant, knowing that sho would tako care never to think of it again. "On, yes it is. I am very particular about such matters. Just remind me next lime I am in." "If I should, ten to one she wouldn't have the monev," thought Mr. Fenton. "No; I think I'll leavo it to you to re member it if you really insist upon it." This was what he said, so differently in many cases are our thoughts from our words. "How is Mrs. Fenton5" inquired Miss Vincent, as she deposited the spool in ths pocket of her dress. "She is quite well, thank you." "I am glad to hear it. Health 13 a great blessing. I was afraid she might be in poor health." "In poor health? What should make you think sofr" demanded Mr. Fenton, sur prised. "Do you think she looks ill'"' "No," said Miss Vincent hesitatingly. "I don't think she looks ill. Quite the con trary; indeed I think I hae never seen her looking better or more cheerful." "So I think. Why then should you feai that she was in poor health? I confess I am puzzled to make out your meaning." "Mr. Fenton, I you must excuse my ex plaining myself. I really would rather not do so," and Miss Vincent lowered her head and spoke in deprecation. "Excuse your explaining yourself! You don't mean to say there is a mystery in the matter," said Mr. Fenton, his voice tinged in the slightest degree by uneasiness. 'Oli, dear no, of course not," said Miss Vincent appearing confused. "Not the least mystory. I fear 1 have been talking ery foolishly. What a fine day it is!" There was something about Miss Vin cent's manner which seeraod to indicate that there was something concealed, and this conclusion Mr. Fenton drew. "Mis Vincent," he said, "you evidently had some reason for saying what you did piy, whether t was fooh-.h or otherwise. ,irw nf serious tvous Prostration i C O prevalent, especially among women, results irom overiiUMiiy iuca..?icm.

It's nothing, I assuro you quite a trifle, in short, not worth mentioning." "But I insist upon hearing it," said the shopkeeper impatiently. "Really, Mr. Fentou" "Will you oblige me by telling me at once?" said'Mr. Fenton decidedly. "Then if you positively insist," said Miss Vincent, "I must tell you, thoughyou will probably laugh atjne. I thought Mrs. Fenton might be iinlisposed on account of her going every morning to the residence of Dr. Tompkins." "Going every morning to the residenco of Dr. Tompkins!" repeated Mr. Fenton. "I don't know what you mean." "You don't, really?" said Miss Vincent, her eyes sparkling a little in anticipation of the effect her news was likely to pro duce. "No, I think you. must be mistaken." "But I am not. Mr. Fenton. I see Mrs. Fenton Dass our house every morning, and past our side window I have quite by ac cident, I assure you seen her, for several mornings running, enter the house of Dr. Tompkins." "Did you notice bow long she stayed?" asked Mr. Fenton, beginning to feel de cidedly queer. "From two to three hours." said Miss Vincent. "Yesterday morning sho stayed two hours and thirty-five minutes by our clock." Mr. Fenton was getting decidedly jeal ous, or he might have wondered at tho accuracy with which his wife's call had been timed. "At what time does she go there?" he asked quickly. "At about 9 o'clock." "Do you think she is there now?" "Yes, I saw her go there just before I came away," said Miss Vincent. "But really I thought you knew all about it. It's a little mystery of your wife's prob ably," and she simpered and marked with pleasure the mental disturbance upon tho face of the shoDkeeuer. "But really I have stayed longer than I intended. I must be going." "He'll go over to the doctor's," thought Miss Vincene. "I'll see if ho don't. I wonder if they'll fight? I shouldn'E won der, for ho looked as mad as a hornet. Well, it's none of my business, that's a comfort. What a sight of troubles mar ried life brings with it, to be sure!" Miss Vincent might congratulate herself, such being tho fact, that she was never likely to experience any of the troubles in cident to that state in life, for it is very much to be doubted whether there was any one, having once seen her vinegar visage, who would have ventured to form matrimonial plans having her for their object. Miss Vincent was right. She soon had the satisfaction of seeing Mr. Fenton pass her house hurriedly on his way to the house of Dr. Tompkins. "I wish I could see them meet," thought Miss Vincent. "I wonder whether she'll faint, or what he'll say." Miss Vincent could not gratify her praiseworthy curiosity, but we fortunate ly can do so. Before Mr. Fenton's arrival we will examine tho interior of a room on the second floor of the doctor's house. A woman neatly but plainly dressed stood before an easel, on which rested a picture of large size, now nearly completed. It was evidently, even to an unartistic eye, a painting of rare merit, and the art ist' ee glowed with interest as she gave a few skillful touches and then drew back to witness the ellect. When Mr. Fenton reached tho door he rang the bell hastily. He thought the ser vant looked oddly when her eye rested upon him. "Is Mrs. Fenton here?" he asked hastily. "Yes, I believe so," she said hesitatingly. "Lead me to her ct once," ho demanded. Tho woman hesitated a moment. "Do j ou hear me?" he exclaimed, stamp ing his foot. "I demand to ba led at once to the presence of Mrs. Fenton." "Of course, if you wish it." "I do wish it." "Then follow me." She led the way upstairs, and Mr. Fenton followed, deeply agitated. "Is is the doctor at home?" he asked. "No, he hasn't been athomo since break fast," said tho servant. That seemed strange. There was some thinjx Mr. Fenton didn't understand. "She is in that room," said the servant, inducting a door. "Thank you, that will do." lie moved softly to the door, opened it gently and gazed at Ids wife. Sho was standing in the center of the apartment, her back turned toward him, a palette and brushes in her hand. He moved forward so stealthily that she did not hear his step and grasped her arm with unconscious force, so that with a start she dislodged the easel from its position, and it fell flat upon tho floor. "Oh!" she exclaimed regretfully. Turning sho met the stern gaze of her husband. "So you have found me out," she said, in some surprise. "Yes, madam," ho answered sternly "1 havo found you out." "But you needn't look so angry about it: surely I have done no harm." "You have disgraced me," said Fenton huskily. "Disgraced you?" repeated his wife.won dcringly. "How can my painting pictures disgrace you?" "It isn't that, nave you not been in the habit of coming to visit Dr. Tompkins?" Sho smiled. "If so I havo been very unfortunate in my calls, for I never find him at home." "Is this true?" "Certainly. The doctor has kindly placed one of bis rooms at my disposal for a paint ing room. I didn't paint at home because I didn't want to have you know it at pres ent." "How long have you been an artist?'4 asked her husband, bewildered. "Long enough to earn this," and from tho pocket of her dress sho drew a bank book showing deposits to the amount of $3,000. "Three thousand dollars, and all earned by painting pictures'" ""Yes. Now my secret is out. Take the book and tako care of my money for me. You will forgive me for acting without your knowledge, won't you?" "Freely, my dear wife; and now I have a favor to ask. I have a large payment to meet in three days. Have you any objec tion to my using this money? I will re turn it within three monhs probably." "I shall be glad to have you use it, David. Don't return it till you can con veniently." "But, Clara, you mustn't come hero any more. I will have a painting room fitted up for you in our own house, and you shall paint as much as you will." "That will snit me better, David." Miss Vincent, who had kept her post at tho window, was deeply disappointed at seeing the husband and wife return, evi dently on a friendly footing, and shook her head ominously. It need hardly be said that his wife's money enabled Mr. Fenton to meet his payment, and that in three months he was able to return the borrowed money, business having become suddenly brisk. Mrs. Fenton has become a well known artist and derives a hand some income from her labors, but she no longer visits Dr. Tompkins. Horatio Al ger, Jr., in Yankee Blade.

Macaroni croquettes are very choice eat ing. Frogs' legs should bo broiled to be at their best. Aluminum is the coming metal for cook ing utensils. Radishes properly served are very orna mental to the table. Cloves take their name from a Latin word meaning a nail. Celery should always be laid on ice for half an hour before serving. A Parisian laundryman is said to use boiled potatoes in place of soap with excel lent results. Blanchir, in culinary language, is to whiten poultry orvegetables by immersing them in hot water and then in cold. Primroses can be closely imitated with the white and yolk of an egg beaten to gether and steamed into a hard custard. Fruit salads may be prepared with oil and vinegar, but to most palates sugar and cream is a mora satisfying dressing.

Eberle by name, has been living on one meal a day f orthirty years and -is in excellent health. Recently he celebrated His 67th birthday. He says from his youth up to the age of 37 he was a constant sufferer from a complication of diseases and resolved to adopt the one-moal-a-day custom to see if his health would be benefited by it. His bad health gradually disappeared, and now ho is a hala and vigorous old man. Action of Poison on Sponges. From experiments by Dr. Lendenfeld on sponges it appears that absorption of food does not take placo at the outer surface, but in the interior. When poisons are put in the water the sponge contracts its pores, and the action is very like that of poisons on muscles of the higher animals. When strychnine is administered sponges suffer from cramp, and when cocaine is given they suffer from lethargy. As these poi sons in the higher animals act indirectly on the muscles through the rerves it seems not without warrant to suppose that sponges also havo nerve cells, which cause muscular contraction.

SLEEP, DEATH, DEEAMS. THE STRANGE ANALOGY THEY BEAR TO ONE ANOTHER. Tracing tlio Auulocy la Oar Experience. Instances of Carious Unaccountable l;ronms Tlio Benefit of Studying Nat ure. Special Correspondence. Nuw York, July 31. -Although the great majority of civilized human be ings aro strongly attached to life under anything like favorable conditions, and seem to shrink instinctively from the idea of annihilation, they invariably en joy sound, unbroken, oblivious deep, and speak of it as a rare blessing of nature. Yet suuh sleep is, so far as we may judge, a counterfeit and esact counterpart of death, which is declared to be the king of terrors. How is this glaring inconsistency to be reconciled? Most persons would say that they relish sleep because it 13 good for them, be cause it i3 restorative, because it is brief. Havo thsy any reason for thinldng that deattx is not good for them, oven better than sleep, since it is eternal? Men aro always illogical. A strange analogy pervades tlio universe. Sleep and death, 03 ha9 frequently been said, are brothers. They must be equally desirable Both of them must give us re3t ono at closo of day, the other at close of life. We deop every fifteen to eighteen hours. "Wo die consciously but onco. Wo imagine that wo compre hend sleep. Death wo account a mys tery, and, being mysterious, it is alarm ing. But do wo comprehend sleep and its concomitant dreams? Not at all. Dreams have puzzled sages from time out of mind, and puzzle them still. They are far more unintelligible than death. This seems to be simply the end of activity, the stop of functions, the finality of motors. It is no task to con ceive of the termination of anything; the more complicated a thing is the more natural that it should terminate. Dreams appear to be a sort of life, dif ferent from and yet analagous to our normal life, while the normal life is sus pended. Wo generally lose while dreaming all power of will, all control of current thoughts which go on un limitedly, involving us in contradic tions, absurdities, impossibilities. We appear to share the same feelings, to cherish the same passions, to perform the same acts as in our waking hours. Nevertheless, in coming out of dream land we remember that wo were not our actual selves there; that onr princi ples, our morals, our judgments were changed. Things that are clear, consistent, per fectly natural during sleep become in tangible, inconceivable, unthinkable on our return to the familiar world. Plato seeks to explain this by the theory that in dreams our souls are freed from the body, have higher conceptions, more luminous visions, deeper insight, and that when fettered, and obscured again by the body we cannot grasp their import. Philoso phers and poets in every age have had numberless fantasies and conceits on this subject and have given them plausible names. But we can reach no conclusion. We are no wiser in the last quarter of the Nineteenth century than were the mj-stagogues two thousand years ago. Dreams are curious studies, are exceed ingly suggestive, are full of interest, but they baffle us at every turn. Sometimes dreams appear more real, more harmonious, more satisfactory than life itself. How can we tell whether we are awake or dreaming; where dream ends and life begins? Our supposed life may be dream. Our supposed dream mav be life. Philosophers have declared that neither time nor space exists; that thero is nothing eternal onlv our idea of tho external. Is it singular that in this clash of opinions, this contradiction of teaching, men, losing faith in one thing after another, finally become universal skeptics? If Pyrrho, the Grecian, could be such a skeptic twenty-two hundred years ago the present time should abound in Pyrrhomists. May not death be a dream of life? May not lifo be the death of dream? If we should die and may wo not? as of ten as we sleep, death would loso its solemnity. We should think no more of dying than of taking our breakfast; nnd breakfast may, after all, be more im portant than our exit from tho planet. Nature takes no account of the individual. Wo are wholly without consequence save in our own partial e3Tes. Flimsy as dreams may appear they have played a most prominent part iu tho history of humanity. The inflnuncG thatrthey havo exercised is beyond estimation. The origin of theology, the primal idea of a power abovo ourselves, tho earliest ap prehenEion of what wo call God, may havo soiBG from dreams. Hobbes has said that tlio genesis of God is the dread of an unknown power. The uncivilized man may havo been frightened by his dreams, and from these may have been evolved, gradually of course, what ulti mately became a theologic system. This is a philosophic, not an orthodox view, which is based, it is believed, on inspira tion. Dreams dhier widely with different persons. Some of these seem to have a genius for dreaming. They dream ra tionally, consecutively, to positive ad vantage. No doubt all of us dream. Dreams are the natural attendants and outcome of sleep. But many who for get their dreams on waking believe that they havo not dreamed. Wo often rise in tho morning, and should not think o I our dreams over night if some occur- j rence of the day did not recall them. So strange, so coincidental, so unac countable are dreams often thai it is not singular they have been considered supernatural by those the least disposed i to fcuperstmon, full of dread, warning and prophecy. Some accredited dreams that sound like fiction are worth chroni- j chng. Condorcet, tho renowned French i mathematician and philosopher (he wrote in favor of American indenend enco, advocated republican principles, and committed suicide to avoid ecrecu tirra hy xha ftxrremists of the French revolution, who had proscribed, him for being a Girondist), worked out in a dream a very difficult proposition that had bafiied him during the day. Conciliac asserted that while writing his elaborate "Courso-of Studies"' he fre quently finished in his dreams chapters which he had failed to conclude before going to bed. Coleridge recites an incident of his own experience thai he had composed while asleep in a chair the poetical frag ment "Kubla Khan.1' He had read in Prjch2st'?iLrrirzz' 'Sere KuMaEhoc commanded a palace to le trout, ana stately garden thereunto, and tras ten miles of fertile ground were inclosed within a wall." The poet awoke after several hours with the conviction that he had made two or three hundred verses. Remembering them vividly, he at once wrote them down as they are printed in his works. Giuseppe Tartini, the most celebrated violinist of the Eighteenth century, al ways maintained that his finest compo sition, the "Devil's Sonata," was due to a dream. He imagined wldle asleep that the devil appeared and challenged him to a trial of 6kill on his favorite in strument. Accepting the challenge, the fiend began a solo that fascinated, the musician as he listened. The moment the apparition vanished Tartini awoke, dashed down the notes as nearly as he could recall them, and played them afterward in public to its enthusiastio admiration. Many such cases might be cited, cases that rest on excellent authority. It must be admitted, however, that dreams are for the most part incoherent and inse quential, and do not help us to solve the intricacies and problems of life. Any number of prophetic dreams are recorded. One of the most memorable is recounted by Plutarch the familiar dream of Cabphurnia the night before the Ides of March. She felt assured by it that Cajsar'a life was threatened, and be sought him not to go to tho senate. He was so moved by her entreaties, especial ly as she was not superstitious, that he would have remained at home but for tho urgency of Deciua Albinos, one of the conspirators in whom he trusted. He could not bear to be inspected of fear, being bravery itself, and eo went to his death. That a woman like Carphurnia should have been influenced by dreams is most remarkable. Dr. Maoario, in his work on "Sleep and Dreams," mentions a perfectly au thenticated case. In Gharite-sur-Loire, a small French village, a very pretty but poor girl was sought in marriage by a young man of mean. Her parents fa vored his suit, but she rejected Ty. They importuned her until she prayed to the Virgin for guidance. The same night she dreamed of a young man in traveler's garb who asked her to be his wife. In the morning she recited to her parents what had passed in her vision, and they ceased to, urge her- marriage. Not long after she recognized at a village ball the young man of her dream; his figure, features, every detail of his. dress corresponding thereto. She blushed; he noticed her, obtained an introduction, and speedily became her husband. He was Emile do la Bedolliere, on tho staff of The Paris Sieele, and he wrote Ma cario corroborating the story in every particular. Her name was Angele Bobin, who had given to her teacher some time before meeting tho journalist an accu rate description of his person. John Beaumont publishes in his "Trea tise of Spirits" a story told nearly two hun dred years ago by Sir Charles Lee to the Bishop of Gloucester, and by the bishop to him, of his daughters extraordinary death. She was engaged to be married, and having gone to bed on. a Thursday Dight in excellent health, awoke about 2 a. m. to seo an apparition near her pil low. The apparition said: "I am your mother; I am happy. By noon today you will be happy too. You will be with me."' The young lady knocked for her maid, but could get no clew to the mys tery, which had deeply impressed her. She dressed herself, wrote to her father she was living with her aunt and re quested that the letter bo sent him as soon as she was dead. Her aunt thought sho had lost her reason, and summoned a plrysician. He came, but could dis cover no indications of mental or physical ailment. Tho vonnsr ladv asked that the chaplain should read prayers, which he did. Then she took her imitar. nlaved delightfully until near 12 o'clock, when she took anotlior chair, and on the strike of tho hour drew a long breath and passed away. Dr. Macnish, who has no faith in dreams except as phenomena, narrates a remarkable experience of his own in his "Philosophy of Sleep." He was in Caith ness, Scotland, when ho dreamed that a near kinsman, residing 300 miles dis tant, had suddenly died, Ho awoke in terror, and the same day, writing home, referred to the circumstance half jest ingly. He couM. not help feeling a pre sentiment of evil, and yet he blamed himself for what seemed to be a childish weakness. Three days after posting his letter ho got one, written the day before his, which announced that en the very day of the morning of his dream his kinsman had died of a paralytic stroke, though up to that moment he had ap peared to be in perfect health. The majority of men have a vein of superstition, unwilling though they may be to confess it. Many think they are not superstitious because they have not the superstitions that aro commonly eo called. My superstition may bo that I believe myself without superstition. I havo no faith in theology or in dreams. One seems wholly irrational; the other, while curious, interesting, suggestive, is entirely indefinite. Fbav often thought that soino of the leading theories of the- i ology, like its germ, may have been de rived from dreams, whuihwore evidently tho visions of the old monks aad. fathers of tho church. Have- nor the vulgar ideas of heaven and hell ben got from good and bad dreams? Sleep and death, are so analogous that this iaigbt readily be. So sleej). death and dreams run parallel, and by vigilant watching sd persistent study of nature we may yot learn, if not their secrets, much of their significance.
