At the Grand Central depot this morning there no longer existed even the semblance of a strike. Passenger trains were coming in and going out with all the appearance of their usual regularity. General Manager Toucey ar rived at liis oflice at 8:30 this morning and iound there awaiting him a telegram from the assistant superintendent of the Syra cuse road stating that order has been fully restored there and trains are running without interruption. This, ho said, ended the strike. The strikers were in secret session at Lodwitu hall at Forty-fifth htreet and Third avenue all the morning receiving reports from the various pickets on duty. One ofthe officials i-.aid to a reporter: "We are just as strong now as we were on Friday night. The railroad officials have been giving out false reports to the newspapers in order to discourage the strikers." The strikers btill maintain that they have yet another card to play, but are reticent as to just what that card is. It is said that the press committee of the strikers is preparing a report for publication which will show the position of the local assemblies and the connection of the general board with the htrike. Notwithstanding the statements of the ofliciuls of the New York Central railroad, that the backbone of the strike is broken, and the apparent belief of the public in tuese assertions, the strikers themselves are still confldent'that the crisis has not yet been reached and that before tho week is over the road will be tied up as tight as a drum. This belief was strengthened by tho speeches made at the meeting of the htrikers which was held this afternoon. About COO of tho men met at 0 o'clock. Master Workman Lee spoke. Reports from towns along the line stated that tho strikers are all as liopeful as they were on Friday night. The strikers'will meet again tomorrow and hear reports from the engineers. They evidently believe the latter will sup port them. Subsequently Mr. Leo said: The general executive board alone has the power to order out at one time the men on the road throughout the country and any apparent delay in forcing conclu bions is because we are now waiting en dorsement by that body, which meets to morrow in Detroit." Mr. Lee stated that no conference had been had with Mr. Powderly. At present Lee is the one that is directiug all the movements of the strikers here. AT OTHER POINTS. Stracuse, N. Y.. August 12. Captain Foley, in charge of Pinkerton men at Eut Syracuse, declares the strike ended. No htriker has appeared there since the yard was -cleared yesterday evening. The lorce of 110 men are still there. Early this morning railroad men began reloading cattle cars. Freight trains arc being rapidly made up. All the men needed are id command. All trains are running on -jsnal tune. Buffalo, N. Y., August 12. New York Central railway authorities in Buffalo are more contident than ever that the strike as far as this end of the road is concerned, is practically over. Albany. X. Y., August 12. The situa tion hero ronmius unchanged on the part of the strikers. They report new acces moiis to their ranks. SALVATOB 0HAMPI0K He Beats Tenny in a Comparatively Easy Eace. Monmouth Park, N. J., August 12. Salvatoris champion. He has won the title in a fair and square contest with Tenny, the only horse on the American turf who has any right to dispute the title with him. Compared to the other matches, todav's was an easy thins for Salvator and decisively settled the question of suprem acy between the two great horses. They carried even weights (122 pounds) and the odds were Salvator 7 tp 10, Tenny 6 to 5. Salvator on the outside got away a short head in front. They ran in this order for five furlongs when Garri son let out a link and Tenny shot to the front by a half a length. At the stretch Murphy sent Salvator out and Tenny was beaten. When Murphy found he had Tenny beaten, he eased up and Gar rison did the same; it was a tame finish, Salvator winning by four lengths. The fractional time of tho races was: Quarter, 2GK; half, 503; three-quarter, 1:17; miles, 1:43; mile and a quarter, 2:09; mile and a half, 2:3T4.

ALLEN, Secretary- Chairman, Tho poet, Uipelow Paine, must have a corn on his jrrcut too. What's the matter with Iowa? She lost nearly 170.000 population since 1SS0 and will loe a representative in congress in consequence. Wiggins, the weather profit, says there will be no end of the world. This is tho first real cause for approhension in this direction wo have had. Wator spouts ami electrical storms are in the mountains. It is almost time to call to tho Kansas frionds in Colorado to "come iu out of the wet." W. R. Payno and II. L. Arnold of Wichita will speak at Leavenworth on Friday evening at a grand resubmission rally to be held on that date. John Boyle O'Reilly, the poet editor of tho Boston Pilot, died on Sunday morn ing from the eirects of an overdose of chloroform, taken bv mistake. Since the wator power movement in Topeka has been declared a success the local papers quit cussin'; that is to say, have dropped the dam subject. Tho executive committee of tho Re publican congressional district committee will meet in the parlors of the llotol Met ropole in Wichita, at 10 a.m., August 80, for tho purjiose of arranging the plan of work for the campaign. A full attend ance is desired. The Kansas City Times says: "We have yet to hear from that Democratic convention in the- weat which failed to endorse Grover Cleveland." If the Times will rummage around in its memory it will discover tho same thing about Re publican conventions and Senator Ingulls. THE MOVEMENT TO THE CITY. The Boston Evening Transcript, in discussing the growth of cities, thus lightly introduces the subject: "In the north the movement toward the city has long been noted. It has become an old story, and is accepted as one of the gov erning conditions of population." If "the movement towards the city" must be accepted as one of the "govern ing conditions of population," then the existence of our civilization depends simply upon the strength and efficiency of our police, and it will bo only a ques tion of time when they will become pow erless. The rush toward the cities must be stopped by legislation which will correct the cause. In the north where this "governing condition" is recognized, they are trying to import a class of people who can live on next to nothing, to take up the aban doned farms and the very paper from which the above is taken urges upon some of its rich readers, to take up the farms, as country residences, as they can be had for the taxes. Now, if the farms of New England can bo had for the taxes, it is certain that they must be taxed out of all proportion to their value or to the corresponding value of the business enterprises of the cities of that region, and that is evident ly one of the causes of the movement towards the city. In the city we have for our interests tho protection of organization and sys temized work which will often tell surprisingly against superior numbers. If, therefore, tho numbers begin to be at all equal, tho agriculturist of the coun try will certainly feel the effect, for al though the argument may be brought up that what aiFects the agriculturist, indirectly affects the rest of the people, and that in that fact there is the best guarantee of the protection of that in dustry, yet men are proverbially more iniluenced by temporary advantages than by distant aims, and the major part of humanity would hesitate to forego a direct "personal advantage because they might suffer from the indirect effects of the custom or habit induced thereby. In view of these conditions, that are serious enough in themselves, the organ ization oi tno rural community into a society for tlie purpose of arresting this tendency and restore the farm and coun try homo to its wanted attractiveness and make the tilling of the land a source of profit and pleasure, could not but meet with universal congratula tion and encouragement. But when such organization is diverted to the contrary purpose of teaching young men the arts of tho politician and the demagogue, which teaching tends to divert tho mind and heart of the young into another and foreign channel and ono that will inevitably lead them away from the paths of industrious and hon orable lives to become in a measure a charge upon tho community at large, too strong and vigorous language can not be used in condemning such mis taken policy and in warning all, espec ially the young, against being deceived thereby and led away to their injury and the hurt of the stato and nation. Boys, young men, stay on the farm. There is room for you in tho city, to be sure, but nine chances to one it is not such room as you would wish to occupy or could with credit and profit to your self and countrv. PRETTY COSTA RICA. Consul Beckford Mackey, of San Jose, has sent to the stato department at Washington a report in which he de scribes at some length Costa Rica and her commerce. Costa Rica is the most southern of the republics of Central America. Its area is estimated at about JJ7,000 square miles and its population about 250,000, giving it the least popula tion, and, with tho exception of Salva dor, the smallest territorial extent of any the Central American republics. The people aro occupied almost entirely in agricultural pursuits. There aro now completed and in use 1150 mi es of railroad, and others are in course of construction. One of the most important of the latter is to be built by London capitalists, from San Jose to Punta Arenas, thus giving Costa Rica railway communication from one ocean to tho other, and naturally, increasing commerce with California and tho other states of the Pacific coast. Mines of gold, copper and some little silver and lead are found in the country, and sever al of the gold mines are being developed, principally with English money. Tho chief product and source of wealth of Costa Rica, however,, is coffee, and by far tho larger part of the imputation of the country derives its support from the cultivation of the fragrant berry. In 1SS3 tho number of coffee trees in the re public was 23,24S,GS6, and tho number of coffee estates 7,007. Somo of the coffee lands are held at 1,000 an acre. Cacao is also raised, and a banana trade has been created, while a small quantity of potatoes, rice and beans for home con sumption is produced, and tho cultiva tion of sugar has a bright future. In 1SS9 Costa Rica imported merchan dise valued at $6.:30G.40S, of which $1, 780.156 worth came from the United States. In the same year she exported her own products to tho extent of 0, 965.371, of which $6,1S0,G06 was for coffee. THE ALLIANCE IN GEORGIA. W. J. Northen, the farmer's candidate, has been nominated by tho state Demo cratic convention of Georgia, just as Buchanan, the farmer's candidate, was nominated in Tennessee, the only differ ence being that in Nortlien'5 case the nomination was unanimous. There seems to have been an utter lack of anything like excitement in the Georgia convention, and the secretary of state, comptroller general; and treasurer were all re-nomiuated without opposi tion, the only two offices for which there was any coutest being attorney general and commissioner of agriculture, for which Judge Lostor and R. T. Nosbitt wero nominated over the incumbents, who stood for a re-nomination. There was no endorsement of the sub treasury bill or any attempt as it was rumored there would ho, to commit the convention to an endorsement of that measure. Tins shows very clearly that it is not measures alone that the Alliance is after, but that office is tho first con sideration. Having secured tns much coveted persimmon in Georgia, i e., tho nomination for governor which of course in this instance means his elec tionthey are perfectly willing to forgo the demands for relief so persistently urged and which could be found alone in the sub-treasury scheme. The Al liance is very artful in its simple and bland artlessness. A MERCURIAL LOT. The changes which have, within the last day or two, occurred in Buenos Ayres, show up that progressive republic in truly kaleidoscopic colors. First we hear of a revolution and general fighting, then President Celman flies and Vice-President Pellegrini as sumes the duties of the presidency. Then there is an armistice. Then, after the revolutionists are suc cessful, they surrender and Celman re turns, resigns again, revokes his resigna tion and again resigns, leaving the vice- president as president according to the last account. The city is illuminated and the aspect is said to be peaceful; but in reality no body knows what the morrow may bring forth. AGAINST THE LOTTERY. The people who were opposing the lottery in Louisiana lost heart about two or three montlis ago, and thought that they were engaged in a hopeless struggle against that powerful organization, but lately a change has taken place, and throughout the agricultural districts of the state the call for an anti-lottery con vention is meeting with a cheering re sponse. Forty parishes which the farmers practically control are swinging into the column, and as the Farmers' Alliance of Louisiana numbers over 30,000 voters, the chances of the lottery for a renewal of its charter are day by day growing beautifully less. Reciprocity continues to make prosress Qixt in Kansas. The Republican convention ot toeugwicK county resolved "in favor of the principle of reciprocity with other nations." The convention was more logical than Secretory Blaine. His scheme only embraces reciprocity with the Latin American states. The Sedgwick county resolution declares in favor of reciprocity with "other nations," implying all na tions. This is an important pointer for Senators Ingalls and Plumb and the Kan sas delegation in the lower house. Kansas City Star. Tho convention that adopted tho reso lution referred to cannot be made responsible for any and every construc tion that may be placed upon its acts and declarations. The platform is as clear and explicit as language can make it, and it meant what it said. The Re publicans of Sedgwick county not only but of the Seventh district and of the state and the west as for that believe in the principles of reciprocity and have urged their adoption in good faith these montlis. They believe that the true principles of protection, to the interests of the west in particular, are embodied therein. That is all there is in it, and the critiques may make the most out of it they can. If yesterday's dispatches reported Gov ernor Hill of New York correctly as to his purposo of ordering out the 6tato militia to suppress tho strike on the New York Central railroad, how the hearts of the Knights of Labor must warm towards him. Less than forty-eight hours before the governor's alleged declaration, a communication was sent him by the Knights pledging tho members of tho order to tho strictest observance of the rules of good order and decorum and to abstain from any and every form of force in connection with the strike. And as far as the public know there had been no'intimatiou that the pledges would not be observed by the strikers in every par ticular. Unless the governor has been misrepresented in this matter ho offered the striking employes of the New York railroads not only, but organized labor extant, a deliberated and unwarranted affront, and one that they fully compre hend and will remember. It is not an uncommon thing for the enemies of a public man, in whatever position, to impugn his motives and ascribe to him unworthy if not dishonest purposes for any and every action he may take. But for pretended friends to fall into the same lino is calculated to discourage such an one and cause him to hesitate even in the performance of a plain duty. A man naturally expects opposition from an enemy, but from friends ho has a right to expect fair treatment; that criticism and censurefbe at least withheld until he is guilty of some overt act, The record of a public man if it is straight and clean, should be sufficient protection for him againsts tho shafts of enemies, and to hold his friends loyal until that record is broken bv some misdeed of his own. This much in a general way for the benefit of those who have a penchant for 3umping to con clusions. Tho Lawrence Journal is moved to say: "It must be pretty discouraging to Sena tor Plumb in his fight on the tariff bill to have all the Democratic papers in the country praising him. Nine times in ten that is a sure sign that a Republican is wrong." Make it ten times. That is what the Journal thinks and it might as well say it. What's the use. of being squeamish? Emporia Republican. That depends. If we accept the doc trine that "the king can do no wrong," then the point is well taken; but in a re public where the public official is the servant of the people and every citizen is a soverign, the servant, if he is faith ful to the interest he is assigned to rep resent, will consider the right regardless of where his confreres may stand. That is the test of statesmanship. But, alas, how few come up to the full measure of tlxat standard. Tlie Reno county fair will be held the second week in September. Col. J. R. Hallowell, the Republican nominee for congress in this district, has been invited by the managers to attend the fair and deliver an address on a day most conven ient to him. The inviation lias been ac cepted and Friday, the 12th of Septem ber, fixed by Colonel Hallowell as the day on which he will address the people at tliat place, the association's grounds near the cifev of Hutchinion. Tlie work of compiling the census re turns has progressed far enough to en able the bureau to make an estimate of the total population of tho entire country, which is rrfaeed at &i, 000,000 in round numbers. The superintendent thinks the work will be completed in time for tlie present congress to make a reapportion ment of the representatives among the states if it is so desired. Kansas City, Mo., may fail to bring her railroads to terms with her fleet of mudscows; she may fail to secure an ap propriation from the government to en large and complete her federal building, and may fall behind in population as she did; but when it comes to base ball, she sets the pace for all the west. Yes, K. C's club heads the list of the Western League for once; at least, it did Monday. Mrs. Lease declines to discuss the his tory and merits of tne Republican party as a public benefactor with Miss Minerva Walker, editor of the Harper Graphic, through the columns of that paper, as suggested by Miss Walker; but the latter f proceeds to discuss the former, her po litical methods, etc. at two columns length in the last issue of her paper. There's going to be some fun over this passage-at-Fabers yet. It is indeed admirable in a representa tive of the people to throw aside per sonal appearance from the path of his duty. When all legislators come to that interest, the like of which was displayed by Senator Edmunds, who came into the congressional hall with half his head shaved like a Siberian convict to cast his vote, last Saturday, there will be no need of compulsory rulings of the presiding officer. The rains that have fallen during the past two or three days, while not general have been so widely dispersed as to amount almost to a general season. And while much of the corn was too far gone to be benefited, a considerable portion of that crop has unquestionably been greatly augmented, and other crops very materially helped. The most important and valuable aid to the farmers and the country where it has fallen is that it puts the ground in excellent condition for fallowing, which will enable the farm ers to seed the incereased acreage they have planned to wheat. The voice of Wichita is still for war. But as long as the Wichita Republicans continue to stand by the ticket they will he-allowed to have all the fun they want to with themselves about resubmission. Lawrence Journal. We think you will discover a little later that Wichita is not going to enjoy tho fun alone over the proposition men tioned. When the rank and file of the part', the yeomanry of the country, the agricultural portion of the community if you please, take a notion to have a thing they generally make themselves heard and felt in trying to get it. And that is what they aro doing just now concern ing that much bruted proposition in their meetings. Today's gathering at Topeka may give you a pointer on that subject. Last week was another phenomenal one for business throughout the country as shown by tho bank clearings. Only six points in the United States report a decrease in the volume of business done compared with tho corresponding period last year, and these in comparatively small amounts. On the other hand a large majority of the points reporting in creases show per cents running from 25 up to 109. The average increase for the whole country, after deducting the losses, was 16.S per cent, the largest shown for many montlis. If this may be accepted as even a fair index to tho business and financial condition of the country, it is certainly most gratifying for the present and encouraging for the future. To the Editor of tlie Ea'le. To my notion the fittest plank put in the platform that was built by the Dodge City convention is the one absolving the con: gresssman-to-be from caucus rule when that stands in the way of the interests of the people (his constituency) on the great economic questions. Now if I am richt. and that carte blanche is a good tiling to give our prospective representative, iu view of the conditions that confront us touching the great economic questions of the day, why wouldn't it be a good thing to do to our present representative? and why was not such absolution given him? Can you tell? A BELIEVER. The point of "A Believer" seems to be well taken, but not being a member of the said convention and having nothing to do with "building" the platform we are not prepared to give an authoritative answer. A plausible reason to our mind, however, is the fact that the "condition" in regard to the great economic questions "A Believer" evidently had in mind do not "confront" the body of which our present representative is a member, but liasjpassed, and at this late date it is not likely that action on any of such ques tions will call for tho exercise of indi vidual judgment or sectional interest again this session. As for our senators, they don't appear to need any loosening of bonds; they do that of their own ac cord. Ed. EXCHANGE SHOTS. The Principle of the Thingr. From the SU Paul Pioneer Press. Kansan in Chicago "Give me a Kreutzer Sonata.' Barkeeper "A what?' Kansan "A Kruetzer Sonata. I heard it liad been prohibited, and I come from a prohibition state." The Irrepressible Conflict. From the K. C Xews. A police justice in New York, before whom sundry copies of Tolstoi's "Kreutzer Sonata" were dragged for condemnation, has decided that the book is not obscene. Wanamaker says it is. Hero is the same old conflict between state and federal authority, and the im mediate secession of New York may be looked for. No Question About It. From the News, K. C, Mo. The Chicago Inter-Ocean fears that if Blaine continues to ran counter to the will of congress he may meet the fate of Clay and Webster. It is questionable, however, whether the fame of Clay and Webster is not more to be envied than the short presidential term enjoyed by smaller men, who were ever bound by barty trammels. How Funny It All Seems! From the Ksiporia RpabUeas. Nobody could have made us believe in iSSSthatwe would be advocating the doctrines of Cleveland and Mills in 1SS0. Some of the impudent Democratic organs intimated as much, but we derisively laughed them to scorn. It goes to show that no man know3 what a day may bring forth. We are all assert ing very confidently now that prohibi tion is a success, "but not more con fidently than we mod to say that the tariff was not a tax. Possibly by this time next year v.e mav be denouncms prohibition as n fraud' and a farce, and show by statistics that it causes loss of population, crop failures and delirium tramens. Who knows? In the light of recent developments the- supposition is I not at all unreasonable. SUNFLOWER SI Evidently Senator Plumb considers it his duty to "do" McKinley's duty. It is said that Senator Ingalls will make a speech on the tariff bill before it comes to a vote. ASalina man has appeared for state printer. No, you are mistaken. It isn't Mr. Brady. Jim Troutman is out for the legislature. He ought to call on the hotels for cam paign expenses. The Leavenworth Sun has lost its teat and pined away and died. It has moved to Joplin, Missouri. Let us be ever so still and reticent about him, the Reverend General A. B. Camp bell will not be "mentioned" this fall. The original package is gone. It has been the source of a great deal of fun not alone to the fellows who write for news papers. A tramp printer sailed into and licked the whole Atchison Champion, the other day, and this, too, when it was without protection. A Lawrence man wants an ordinance passed prohibiting anyone from being on the street after midnight without a per mit. Permit from whom? His mama? The attitudes the New York World put Ingalls in are none of them equal to the contortions it has been instrumental in making some of his opponents go through. There are some eight or ten candidates for congress in the First district all Re publicans. The issue is not so much "Is the tariff a tax?" as "Does Major Morrill mean what he says?" The Arkansas City Dispatch is support ing the Farmers' Alliance candidate for congress in the Third district, Mr. Clover. The Dispatch ,is one paper which never fails to do its best for tho Democratic part-. A correspondent says Speaker Reed has a word for every one. Very likely. He had eight or ten sentences for one of our congressmen who had a penchant for scratching prohibition screeds on petitions to congress. Tom Ryan has not enjoyed the visits of many of his Kansas friends. It looks like an unpardonable oversight that no edi torial excursions have been headed for the City of Mexico during the Harrison ad ministration. The Lawrence Journal-Tribune is not saying much about the Republican nomi nee for congress in the Second district. It is not reasonable to believe that the aesthetic Finch is a songster to gain in spiration from foghorn cadenzas. All sorts of apprehensions are rife con cerning the fierce ogreish manner of the Fort Scott father towards the son. For the first time in the tariff discussion has it become necessary to intimate that the Rice industry in Kansas needs protection. Senator Berry wants to go to congress. Mr. Berry is the gentleman who would not allow the auti-Ingalls papers to use his name for ammunition in their fight against the senator. This fact of itself is a very good recommendation for Mr. Berry and his sound sense. Congressman Peters says James Hnl lowell will not save any of his $5,000 a year either. Mr. Peters is probably right. But besides the 5,000, "Prince Hal" will give the pcoplo of Washington about ten thousand dollars worth of whole-souled jovialty additional. In the Atchison Champion's eyes "one of the hardest nuts to crack is why Judge Peters should leave a seat in congress to practice law in Newton." We suppose the other hard nut for tlie Champion 13 why Senator Ingalls, in face of the Cham pion's opposition, don't come buck to Atchison and practice law. Is the Emporia Republican fighting President Harrison, too? It says: "Mr. Blaine says he is with Speaker Reed 'heart and soul.' This makes a har monious triangular group Blaine, Reed and the American people." Where is Harrison? Or does the Republican want us to understand that Harrison is synony mous with "American people?" A DAY IN MANITOU. To the Editor of the Eacle. The tourist who has come to Manitou for tho first time, may well await a thousand surprises. Lot us suppose that you have arrived in the evening and taken your quarters a t the Hotel Ruxton. Tired of the long and heated journey, you hasten to your room and invite the sweet offices of Morpheus. At midnight you are aroused by a strange noise. You listen. It sounds like tho steady pouring of a heavy rain. At 5 in tho morning you are awakened again, this time a little vexed, liecause you think the rain will spoil the day's pleasure. At seven you rise and when you have closed the door behind you you go to the piazza to take a survey of the morning. And now you can hardly believe your eyes. No sign of rain anywhere. A cool, invigorating breeze a very elixir of life greets you. The. mountains rise in front of the hotel in a semi-circular column, tlie peaks seeming to touch the soft blue sky behind and above. Tho sun is shining brightly, though still be hind the mountains. What, it has not rained then? Yes, surely you nave neon aupea. iiie noie you heard was merely the refrain of Ruxton brook. Rising in tlie heights of Pike's Peak, it flows over beds of stones in picturesque curves and comes down to Manitou, cutting the village and passing right in front of the Ruxton. After you have been served to a break fast possessing all the attributes of com pletenesscolored waiters, politeness, a menu that tempt3 your palate you again seek the piazza. And now, as you sit quietly in your chair, surrounded by other guests w!k may bo chatting the while, it is a posi tive pleasure to breathe. As you admire the mountains before you and continue to inhale the air, you feel that everv breath is giving you new life. Very soon this morning ecstasv is broken. Your friends come out with wraps, umbrellas and bottles and invite you to take a walk. Then on to the Iron Sprinirs and the Iron Springs pavilion. After vou hnve walked a short distance you feel the hot rays of tlie sun Ptrikinc vou from twhirwl. You are hurried quickly into one of the little, shady side paths that run parallel with the brook. V err soon a rustic seat invites you to repose." Lovers' Lane is the most attractive. Here a canopv is formed above you by the intertwining branches of the trees. Through the shimmering leaves another canopv far above you is peeping softiv through. Be low vou the brook "leaps wildlr over huge stones.

The tramp of horses, the sound of car riage wheels as they come and go, tlie bustle within, groups here and there talking gaily; some drinking the waters from the spring, others eating pop corn or candy, still others bending their heads over a book oblivious to all around them. All this captivates your senses: you are unconscious of the lapse of time. At this crisis your friend maliciously holds the watch'befure you and cries out, "It is 11 o clock." Now, for the first time in a month per haps, you feel a most keen sensation of of hunger. The dinner at the Ruxton holds out fair promises and, with eager steps, you return. On your way you may iook back over the peak and behold, a great white cloud rises majestically behind it. It travels onward, spread- over the sky as it goes, changes from white to a dull sray- When you have reached tho hotel it is cool again. Very soon the band dis courses sweet music. You are reminded that it is but a half hour before dinner. A few hasty changes in you toilet, a fow minutes in the parks chatting with the guests, then to dinner, the music con tinuinjr the while. When you return to the piazza again, that gray cloud has become black. Tlie mountains look sombre and you say: "Ohj it is going to pour all the afternoon, and what of the pleasure trip we had planned to Bell's Glen!" With a frown you conclude that this nuernooii you must content yourself with the insipid pleasure of reading a lxok. Two hours may past. this time you como out, the whole scene has changed, the rain is over. That cloud that came up like a floating mountain and spread over tho sky, has drawn ittielf together. again and is travelling eastward and just disappearing behind the peaks. Now you marvel again at the leauty of the sky. It is of a paler, moro delicate blue than in the morning, more broken bv masses of fieecv white clouds. You must necessarily catch the tuno. that nature sings. You are radiant witli hopo and imagine yourself in a fairy land. At J5 o'clock your jmrty joins you, and you start for Boll's Glen, a milo and a half to the east. On your way the brook sings you its song, pansy beds smile upon you" green lawns rest your eye, soft strains of music fall upon your ears. Wliile enchantment weaves its siell over you, your friend 1h side you may bring you to your senses with the exclamation, "Here is Bell'b Glen." Tho scene before you beggars descrip tion. In the midst of this mountain glen, nestling in sweet seclusion, you see a mansion. It is built of wlutinh gray stones slightly tinge I with pink. Tho many little towers and orticocs attract your attention first; tlwn the lawn, the fountains and the rustic seats. The lat ter invite you to rest; onco seated you catch the view behind the mansion. Tlie grand old Rockies, w old and yet bo young, encircle it, sis it were, and cast a caressing, protecting shadow over it; on the top you see great boulders. On ono of them rests a huge, squaro slab. A you look at it you say souk Hercules must have carried it there. It las ab surdly been named the "Devil's Pulpit." Some ignoramus who knew not tlmt devils dwell in tho lower regions named it. The evening is drawing on, you leave the mansion grounds, walk" through shady nook.s anil soon find yourself on one of the most artistic, I would almost say, poetir of bridge, itpannitig the ever present brook. While seated upon the bridge you think of Tennywn's "Brook"' and you think if you "could read it there you might catch its true song. On your way home, jwtasing the keep er's lodge, you are tempted to sk him a few questions. You hear the astonishing news that Dr. Bell is an Englishman; that he ha four children, threw daughters and oimj son, and hJo a gov erness to instruct them. lie livee on the interest of his money.

The-"Theatre libre," Its Mottvcsand Its Success The Projector ThercefHas by It Arisen from, a Salaried Place to Wealth. rSpecial Correspondence. PARI3, July 12 Quite a large number of small theatres, thcobject of which may be said to supplement the larger houses, have been opened in Parisiwithin the last few years. Among thevraost successful of these is M. Antoine's "0heatre Libre," or Free theatre, which opened in October, 1887. The beginnings of4tkis new stage were of the humblest, but iahadood-work in view, and the puolic patranizsd it from the outset. Accompany of ameitcutsunder the management of AL Antoinveset about JAKE HADING, realizing what M. Edmond About once styled "Le Theatre Impossible" by mount ing a series of plays, the productions of Jcnown or unknown authors who had failed to secure a hearing on thi regular stase. Zola, Edmond de Goncourt, Count de Tilliers de l'lsle-Adam. Henry Greville, Theodore do Banvillc, Francais Coppee, Catulle Mendez and Emile Eergerat "Cal iban" of The Figaro agreed to contribute to the repertory, which was also to include unacted worJcs by Victor Hugo and Jules Valles. The undertaking, it will be seen, was of a new sort. It was financed by a hundred subscribers of iSO each, who, as foundation members, had the right of entry, not only to performances, but at rehearsal?. The amount thus collected was only $2,090, but the man at the head of tho business, M. Antoine, was an ardent believer in his new schema At first tho representations werestrictly private, none but the founders and a few guests invited by the management being present at earh of the uight annual per formances, which took place in a small theatie in the Pa.-sage des Beaux Arts, near the Place Pigal'e, at Montmartre. This little stago. which was lented by M. Antoine, is the place whore for many years past impressarii usually rehearse the plays set down on their programme before start ing on starring tours through the French provinces. Most of our great Paris artistes have trod its well known boards. In November, 1SS7, tho management transferred its company to a larger stage, xX a house formerly known ns the Theatre IMontparnaspe. Hero among the beet pre mieres given were a one act comedy in verse by Theodore do Banville, entitled "The Fuss," which has since been taken up at the Comedie Francaisc, and a tragico burlesque play, the "Wife of Tabarin," by Catulle 3Iendes. Subsequent perform ances included a one act drama adapted from Zola's "Capitaine Burlo" by M. Henri Ccard, eatitlod "All for Honor;" "Esther Brondes," by M. Leon Hennitjuo, and a three act play by SL Jean Jullien, entitled "Tho Serenade." Public-attention was soon aroused by tho production of so many good things which managers of the larger theatres had returned to their authors as unfit for bringing out on their hoards, and M. Antoine's venture proved a decided success. About this time Marie Laurent, the re nowned comedienne, created at thoffheatro Libre tho chiof part in a powerful drama liy Leo Tolstoi, "Tho Power of Darkness," which had boon translated into French by a Russian. This ply, like most of those which preceded it, belongs to the realistic, jiaturalist school. But tho crudenoss of tho language put into the mouths of the personages is in this instanco perhaps more startling than on any previous octa bion. The picture of J&usian life Is doubt Jess as accurate its Zola's account of coun try Ufa in France, and just as sickening. But this-was the flvat rime that the textual reproduction of such locution had been ventured on in pnblic. And herein lies inoro especially the nov elty of M. Antoino's -enterprise. Tho stage of tho Theatre Libro is a modern one in ov ery sense of tho form. The actors and act resses demean themselves with a natural ness of inaanur that is ns-aly, indoed, mot with in a regular theatre. There is no Eirivhyi after eflect among them, and the result achieved is all the greater on that recount. There are no conventionalities t J be observed either in word cr geolure. The oompsny is trained to act and speak as people speak or aet, r as they are supposed to to do in reel life. A spade is a spade throughout, and if yu don't liko to hear things called by tlieir namas you have jour owif self to blame for going to a place v here bluntne9 is tha prevailing-rule. Nor can it bs sn;d that thorn is any dis j lay of luxury in the stage mountings.

Antoine has a houe crowd ed from pit to ceiling with all tho mot noted celebrities of Pacinian literacy life, where every syllable telij for good or evil, because thoso who attend go to listen and to judge, not merely to seek amusement; and it is a peouliar audience, too, fastidi ons in its tastes, and ouo not over given to praise in the abstract nor to appiaud with out reason. The Montparnasse honse was, however, too far away. M. Antoine thereupon found a new home for his company in a theatre hitherto known as tho Menus-Ploisire, which is more central and spacious than tha former. Hero the manager essayed a higher flight then any he had hitherto at tempted. Tho curiosity and interest awak ened by many of tho produotioss brought out unuor his auspices incited him to fresh exertions.

Thi3 is certainly the moit daring piece of realism that has ever been aohievoil on the French Stage. To English and Amer ican minds tho representation of the Sa viour end hia work upon any stage savors from tho outset of profanity. In II. Dar zens' play Jesus app-r.rs in flesh and blood, with his long flaxen locks, attired in snow white rahnont. Tho author, however, de serves credit for not treatint: his subject in any irreverant or mocking or libidinous strain, ss might-have been feared from the title. The chief part was excellently acted by 2L "Ueristo, who compares favorably with the famous Mayer in the role of Christ of Oberammergau Passion Play renown. Tho divine words that fell from the lips of tins Alenus-Plaisir Christ were heard by all present mjm. women, jour nalists, boulevcrdierss with profound re spect and emotion. Tho sensation was painful, and "tf. ileristo had the tact to conceal himself and to decline to acknowl edge the vociferous applause that was ac corded him at the end .of the play, thereby leavinr: the audience under the mystic im pression that he had crested. The play is a vivid transcription of Mary Magdalen throwing herself a Christ's feat and wash ing and anointing thorn dunnj: the meal with Simon tho Pharisee. The author bases his plot upon the-thesis that Magda len has in the first place conceived a mere ly sensual passion for our Lord, and that this earthly pas?ion is changed and trans muted by bis divine power intothat per fect lova wla'ch Christianity imparts. A dramatized version of Kenan's "Ab besso de Jouarre" followed. It had only been played in Italy by the celebrated Mmo. Duse, who made a marvellous crea tion of the chief port.

Thus far every performance of this sin gular, independent troupe, under the di rection of their clover actor-manager, had been a privato gathering of ail the first iiightcrs of the capital. The premieres of the Theatre Libre,' to which admission, as I have said, could bo obtained only by in vitation, had unmistakably been taken up by the veriest fine flour do tout Paris. This rage for a first view of performances might be c-oneKlcred as extraordinary were it not for the ever-increasing longing of the mod ern Parisian, liko the Athenians of old, for "somo new thing," particularly if ft threat en to be startling. And tho hope of wit nessing something in tho latter category lies at the root of this eagerness to be at the birth of a new piece from tho hardy writers whoso productions aro brought forward on the boards of the Theatre Li bre. It must be understood that very rarely can a play be heard twice at this theatre, for only two representations are given each nlcnth. Hitherto admission to this unique spectacle was by right of subscription only. Thore were no single tickets sold, although the interest in the pieces pro duced, and their genuine literary novelty and value, might command almost any price and fill any house. It scon became evident that this species of royal preroga tive of giving plays for the elite of the lit erary world might be made apaying busi ness if extended to the pnbKc generally. Wishing to enlarge the field of his opera tions M. Antoine wisely opened a ticket ofiice for outsiders at the door of his house, much to tho annoyance of the privi leged fow, but greatly to the advantage of Mjioi-mmjiia and tho management. "il.

There as na reason wfay, in a city like Paris, where the drama Hjces up so hurre a snars of the public attention, seme fixed play house on the lints established by M. An toine should not be set apart for "free" productions of all kinds. All the money required is secured. A rich banker has offcrwd to pat down SCi,003 to back this novel undertaking.

At the time of whioh I write I was living with my parents in what are now called I the oil regions of Pennsylvania, but it wm in the early days qf the Use ol coal oik and the indications of it3 presence were not so well understood as they are now, so it was not thought probable that any one ia our neighborhood would oa warranted in un dertakiiig expense in an attempt to bore for oil. SpeeulHtors were not ready then to take upon themselves the expense of boring, and my father did notjeel able to undertake it. So he had toiled on, trying to be content with mking: both ends meet fpom what he could wrest from tho soil above. My grandfather owned quite a tract of land on one side of the highway running through the little country village of P and the father of my most intimate friend owned im. equally largo tract adjoining us. We had for-atarly lived just over the line in New Tork, and my principal objection when .father decided to remove to grand father's was that I should have to leava my most intimate friend behind mo; but there was no help for it, and I had man aged not enly to survive it, but ta find an other friend whom I thought more neexly perfect t&-a anyone who hud gone before, for I had h$ti several intimates in the course of my'fifbeeii years. "Betty, poor girl, is addicted to intimate friends," was a frequent saying of my old est brother, Albert, as If they were a kind of intoxicant I was unable to resist. Such remarks never failed to eond me to Abigail Potter for sympathy, which I al ways received. Wwcpe inseparable, and when father once spoke of returning to our old home I was the most violent opponent of the plan. I could not leave Abigalll "you'll get enough of Abigail someday," eaid Aunt Kate. "Yes," said-grandmother. "Her tongue is hung in tno middle, an' wags both ways." "You should not bo so intimate with any girl," mother added. "You ought to learn that if you can't keep your own se crets no one will keep them for you." Now I really did not tell Abigail every thing I know, though I must confess I came very near it; but, I reasoned that it was natural to liko to talk, and to havo some sympathetic person to talk to. Of course we must have something to talk about, so where was the harm when sue was my most intimate friend? "Betty, I want you this minutel" I heard mother call one morning from the back door. "She's hangin' over the front gate with j Abigail," Aunt Kate ropliod. So I was, but I hastened to the backyard, where mother was anxiously dipping her skeins of rags up and down in the big dye kettle "Just keep stirring them so the dye won't settle, while I get out your father's seed corn," she said. I was absently poking tho rags when mother's voice, floated down to mo from tho A attic window she had just raised. "So tho prospector has decided to do it, has hef" "Yes," father replied. "He'll begin by the 14th. He's coming the Thursday afore to bind the bargain and make a payment." "Then wo get it here by Tuesday"" mother askod eagorly. "No reason why not," said father. "I hope so. I should be disappointed if it couldn't be done by the 12th; but tha roads aro bad." "Well, It can be hauled six miles, good or bad, 'les tho bottom of 'em falls clcaa out," father ended, with a chuckle. I had not been especially interested in tho convonratron until mother referred to the 12th. Tuesday, the 12th, was ray-birthday, and it flashed upon me that "it" most be something for me I followed up my discovery wrth-suoh conclusive argument in my mind that in a minute I was fully convinced that "it" certainly must b a piano something I had long wished for, and which no one in the neighborhood possessed. I became all ears at once aa father went oa: "Don't let Butty get an inkling of it." "She hasn't the first suspicion of it. It will be a complete surprise-." "You know sh couldn't kep it to her self two minutes," bo continued. "The Potters would hoar of it in low 'n no time' "Well, they won't," mother asserted, shutting down the window, and In a few moments she was back by my aide. "Dear mo, Betty' whore are your wits?" she exclaimed. In my excitement over what I bad heard I just then zave the rags such a vigorous poke that the dye over flowed and a clou '3 of sAoes roae above the kettks. "Here, Btty, gire me that poker, and you go take those fire dozen eggs up to the store. Eg3 are a shilling now That'll come to sixty-two cents an' a half. Gz a paper of neediw bet wrens two spools of thread, a quarter af tea, a pound of raisins and the rest in drilling "His shillin dliaa', too, Betty, 70U hear?" grandmother called after me. '-TbatTl get a ysxd, and we'll get the half cast tfcig time. An'. Betty, you watch an' see Scth Alcrrill don't meaarfl in his thumb." I scarcely beud grandmother then, though it all cams bier 0 me to clearly afterward, but I hurried away with the eggs, glad to escape tLc etuoltc and ftsbes and dyo too', and gi&4. 'oo. of a. cbance to ponder over mj oTEunj "nurprwo The eggs were bsfcu; counted out at th little conxrtry store when Abigail ran up the step. "I thoogh-t you were here'" she cried. "I didn't kalf ftnUh telling you what I wsm toB".irig about this morning." "And Pve gf sostecin to tell yon," I begsB lmpctcftasly, wha a rannbranc erf father's la wn-tu check e4 mo.

Now Abigail was not the least bit en vious, and she only ssid, with a sigh: "You're so lucky. I wish Icotfld'haveone!" But I comtorted her with the assurance that sho should use mine whenever she wished. From that time until Thursday my mind was not off my expected present, nor my tongue either, when I was with Abigail, and' Aunt Kate said that was pretty much all tho time. I noticed, as Thursday passed, that tho family seemed unecs-y, but I was sure that I knew why, though I tried to appear per fectly unconscious. Tho uneasiness in creased until tho morning of my birthday, when father drove o to town. I was uaca--y. ii. U"icduiother insisted that I "kept the r.- id a t" ail day between our hou-e sail Ahiasil', and I did not deny it, for the day wore avay with no signs of any piauo and not a -weni about my "birth day. We were all relieved when father drove up at dusk audcaue in lookingquita Boher. I hovorsil about "he kitchen, but not a word was said until I went to my own room. I war tun miserably disappointed to thiak Ux t i lie uieanueeo of eavesdrop ping x down oy the stove pipe whioh emir fcl rouh tho Coor from the sitting room R-low, where the reit of the fanilly wore seated. I soon lMirned why father enmo mpty handed. "Well. I didn't ijct it, you sec, for tho bottom did fall out," said be, feouly, trying to joko; "only 'twn'n't the bottom of tho road, but the bottom of the business." "I s'pected iomeohiu' wlien ho djdn't put in his aptieamnco Thureday," said gmndfather. "What's qp" "Why, Potter got wiftn of it ca hunted him up. Had him over there the very next day. nis offer was bigger 'n mine an propects just aa good, they thought, an' he was smart enough to closo right on tho spot." "How trick3'l It's a shame!" cried Al bert. "How could ho have found it outf said Aunt Kate indignantly. "Not a soul of ua has told." 1 was down on the floor in shame and mortification. I know howl My most in timate friend hd told it. But as I thought; of it, oven in my bitter disappointment I could not forget the warnings I hod had, anil I knew that I kIsit wu to be blamed. But ceald I tell'th.-m so?" Tho noxl!tcnceU'X-rji-Mi me, though it a-ided a. still heavier burden as I heard it. "Wt?ll," said mo?aor, trying to speak; cheerily to (tuber, "we can gvt along as before, and 2 fctv won't be disappointed' about the pUuo" so tt was a pjuno! "but I toel it most for voti nnd the grandfolka. It would make your Mvrs eoMr and pleas anter If wo could ouly .have home of the riches, if they are hore for iv I did not hesitate. I had dono not only a foolish thing but a wicked one us well, and in the next few mhintre I hud sobbed out my confession and contrition with my face In my motherV bp. I think all felt that I had been punuJiad severely, for not even Albert said Anything, to add to my lcson. Grandfather t niy remrked, "Well, lass, you'll havr to rule shank'n mare now 'stld of a pony, but it's fer the best, prob'ly When I learned th plxns for the futiiro based upon the fioped for ail wll I could hardly rwxmcile myself to tbe loss.

But Iwes tlicn reiwiy to ap preciate It, for I Lad lwruefl Uio folly of too close intimacies, nnd Abigail was tho last of the Keries of brMm friomlu. So perhaps grandfather vrsis right in his conohiMon. At any uttr. when at lout fortune brought my piano grnndmothrr was ready to indorae it with the dry re mark.
