EVERYTHING GOES WRONG In the bodily mechanism when the liver gets out of order. Constipation, dyspepsia, contamination of the blood, imperfect as similation are certain to ensue. But it is easy to prevent these consequences, and reovo their cause, oy a course of Hostet ter's Stomach Bitters, which stimulates the biliary organ and regulates its action. The direct result is a disappearance of the pains beneath the ribs and through the shoulder blade, the nausea, headaches, yel lowness of the skin, furred look of the j tongue, and sour odor of the breath, which characterize liver complaint. Sound di gestion and a regular habit of body are blessings also secured by the use of this celebrated restorative of health, which im parts a degree of vigor to the body which is its best guarantee of safety from malarial epidemics. Xerve weakness and f over-tension are relieved by it, and it im r proves both appetite and sleep. A STRAIGHT TICKET. Topeka, Kan., August 15. The refusal of the Peoples' convention to nominate ex Governor Charles Robinson for governor yesterday has angered the leading Demo crats of Kansas, and a straight Democratic ticket will be nominated at Wichita Sep tember 9. It is claimed that President B. II. Clover and other leading members of the Farm ers' Alliance pledged to ex-Governor Kob inson the nomination if he would allow his name to be used, but when the conven tion met it disregarded him.

Be has already in an official report to the secretary of war practically recommended that the harbor be abandoned by tho gov ernment Beechani's Pills cure sick headache. THE "PULL BACKS" WIN. Ardmore, I. T., August 15. Official re turns of the Chicasaw election yesterday have not yet been received in this citv, but enough is known, however, to justify the statement that the national or "mill back" party has elected their candidate for governor oy an overwhelming major ity. Tho disfranchised voted at only one box, Oakland, this county, where two polls were opened. Every bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla con tains 100 doses, and i a fair equivalent for for a dollar.

The city's streets today seem to have about their normal crowds, only a little larger than the average and the badges and decora tions of visiting post3 are not nearly so numerous, but that may be accounted for the absence of about 3,500 in the excursion to historic Plymouth. Others have de parted for home and Grand Army week is practically over. CRISP RENOMINATED. MACON, Ga., August 15.

Bridget Doody, the Mineral Point, Wis., centenar ian, who was believed to be the oldest per son in the United States died Wednesday night at her home after a brief illness. She was 120 years old at tho time of her death. THE TERRITORY'S .COTTON CROP. Ardmqre, I. T., August 15. Five bales of cotton of this year's crop were received here yesterday and today. The crop this se;ison will be the largest ever known in territory. 'SHE WON THE BET. But It Was Unfortunate Work and She Won't lo It Again. Pretty Fanny Beale, a lively Cincinnati bud, is visiting her cousin Nellio in Plqua. Young Mr. Filley, of St Louis, and his sister Mina are also visiting at the same house. Barnum'a olrous was in Piqua and young Mr. Filley took the girls to see the show. In discussing the bhow afterward the young man expressed his particular wonderment at the feats of a female con tortionist. He was esp'ecially amazed at tho highly accomplished manner in which she twisted her foot around the back of her neck and made a. cushion rest for her head out of her heeL The warmth with which. Mr..Fifley expressed his admiration of this act of the contortionist seemed to nettle Miss Bealo a trifle, and she turned up her nose and said: "Pshaw! That isn't anything to brag about. I can do it myself 1" Cousin Nellie and Miss Filley screamed, and assured Miss Fanny that she was aw ful, and young Mr. Filley laughed at her and pooh poohed. But the spoiled beauty's Cincinnati sporting blood was up, and she turned to Mr. Filley and said in decided tones: "I'll just bet you tho price of a box of kid gloves that I can!" Young Mr. Filley promptly took tho bet. Then the delicate question as to how Miss Boale's ability to perform the acrobatic feat could be proved to tho satisfaction of the young gentleman arose, and it was finally settled that Cousin Nellie should be present while the act was on as referee for Miss Beale, and that young Mr. Filley's sister should also bo there in tho interest of her brother. The three girls retired to Miss Bcale's room, and young Mr. Filley waited on tho piazza for an official report of the result of the feat Spasmodic bursts of mirth from Miss Bealo's room reached his ears for a time, and then there was a painful si.ence for a few seconds. This was finally brokon by screamB of laughter, an exclamation of wonder and loud clapping of hands in the room. "Blinked if I don't believe tho little tar tar has won it!" said young Mr. Filley to himself. Another period of painful silence follow ed tho outburst of wonder and applause. This was followed by a scream or two not prompted bymirthfulness or wonderment. Suddenly Cousin Nellie burst from tho room and ran out shouting in alarmed tones for her mother. Young Mr. Filley e i arose. "Has she done it, Nellie"" he asked. "Oh, Mr. Filley!" Miss Nellie sobbed, "she has done it, but she can't undo it! Please run for a doctorl" Fortunately a physician of forty years' practice in tho town lived only two squares away. Young Mr. Filley called hii in a hurry. Ho was a good' while in Miss Beale's room, but when ho left it he was smiling. When Miss Bealo came out an hour or so later she was a trifle lame, but she announced triumphantly to young Mr. Filley that she had won the bet. The official report of the referees unanimously sustained the claim, and it was promptly paid. "I used to do it easy when I was at school," said Miss Beale reflectively. "All tho girls did. My heel never once stuck before. I guess I must bo growing old," said the Cincinnati bud with a sigh. Co lumbus (O.) Letter Swimming a Good Exorcise. Few people realize the importance of knowing how to swim. Swimming is taught to tho cadets at the Annapolis Naval academy, but not to tho West Pointers, and the statistics of the late civil war show howimportant it is that soldiers should know how to swim. During the war tho number of men killed in action was 87,058, while the number drowned was 100 officers and 4,83S men, the majority being drowned under such circumstances that a few strokes would have been suf ficient to save life. Some object to swimming on the ground that it is productive of colds, that it may cause heart failure, and that when in dulged in at the seashore there is danger from sharks. An expert claims that there is little danger of taking cold Of course there are many weak people whose lungs and heart are in such a condition that they should not venture to swim, but at the same time the neglect to learn to swim in early childhood the neglect of this emi nently hygienic exercise is probably large ly responsible for many flabby hearts and weak lungs. Swimming is s tonio and bracing exercise. It assists in the develop ment of tho muscular system, and exerts a favorable influence on the bodily functions, such as digestion, nutritien, respiration, circulation and innervation. It is excel lent for getting the body in what sporting men call "condition." Aside from tho physical advantages swimming gives moral courage. Forest, Stream and Farm. Immigration in w York. How immigration will work rapid changes at times is shown in the stone cutting and carving trade of New York. Formerly there were but few skilled workmen, and these commanded very high wages. In the past few years over a thousand expert artisans have come from Italy to pursue their calling in Now York. They receive from $1.50 to $2.50 a dar less than bricklayers, and neither strike nor get drunk. As a re sult, the old hands are being driven out of business. As a pleasanter result, nearly all the new houses near the park are a mass of rich and beautiful carving. There will probably be another change before long, as the labor agitators are1 trying their best to form the Italians into 2. trades union WOMEN ON CANAL BOATS. LIFE IN THE CABINS THAT ARE FOUND NAVIGATING THE ERIE. Women Wlio Feel That They Are Juit Ri Good as Their Sisters on Land eatly Furnished Humes Hotr the "Women Pass Their Time A Prodigy of Nine. There are few among the many who watch the long lines of canal boats enter ing the Erie canal locks at West Troy that have tho faintest idea how the women aboard these boats live and what class of people they are. The prevailing impression seems to be that none hut the roughest of women would or could live on board such craft, and that the Jife and surroundings must be of the hardest sort. Bright and early one morning our artist climbed aboard one of a long row of boats that were awaiting their turn to pass through the weighing lock at Green Island, and almost the first step he took after get ting aboard he met an elderly woman in a neat pcint dress and white- apron, who smiled in a quiet way when the visitor's business was made known. "So jou want to see how women live aboard these boats, and be told about it, too," she said, as 6he led the way back to ward the cabin companionway. "Well, I for one am right glad you have come, and that what you hear and see will be printed, for I realize more than you do how great a prejudice exists against us as a class and also how widespread are the false ideas en tertained in the public mind relative to our life along the canal." A HOMELIKE CABIN. She directed the visitor to stoop low as he began the descent of the cabin stairs, and the admonition came none too soon, for the stairways are low and steep, with no head room to spare. But once inside the cabin it was quite another matter, for a considerable portion of these big boats is allotted to living quarters. This cabin was especially roomy and homelike, for the floor had been scrubbed and rescrubbed until it was as white as snow. In the center of the room a large square rug left but little of the floor boards to be seen, ft was of a pretty, bright pattern, and a little white dog lay fast asleep in the center of one of the big roses that graced the pattern. Over this several other hair or carpet mats had. been placed at the foot of the stairs or by theNlounge that stood to the right of the 'door. Tiny curtains of some sort of dainty white stuff fluttered with the morning breeze as it swept softly in over a bunch of "love entangled" that grew in a little flower pot on the window ledge. Pictures were everywhere about the pan eled sides of the cabin, and a canary bird in a gilded cage sang sweetly in the win dow near tho pretty flower. The doors of the staterooms stood open, and disclosed a pretty picture of snowy bed spreads and fancy pillow shams, while the kitchen, with its shining pots and pans, was an ideal place for a good cook. "We do most of our cooking up on deck during the warm weather, and the men put awnings up to shield' us from the sun. It keeps the smell of the CQoking away from the cabin and leaves it in a much cooler condition," the woman explained, as she kindly offered a cup of warm cfpffee to licr visitor. now tiiey spend tub winter During the winter month's most of the boats tie up in the Erie or Atlantic basins at New York city, and through all these' long winter days the women aboard the 200 or 300 boats go visiting and give parties and dances pretty much the same as their sisters on land whose abiding places have rather more stability. Through the sum mer, of course, there is less opportunity for social intercourse while the boats are on tho move, but when they tie up for orders or to load at the principal points the women get together and often organize a party to go off on picnics and excursions on land, the men being busied in loading their cargoes. When the artist boarded the second boat a tall, broad shot Jdered man, evidently the captain of the boat, seemed to be in especi ally good humor, for he laughed over tha ran the artist had stated to him before wwmewlng the vromen at the other end othe ?t" mptwn explained was their especial- 'sstammng ground." I While going up he stopped the newspaper t man suddenly, and, after an inquiry as to whether he wore married, explained that he had two good looking daughters in tho after cabin, and that "ho would, after dis covering that his caller was a single man, have to consult their mother before he would run the risk of letting him see them. This he did in a good nntured way by call ing down tho hatch of the cabin: "Say, there, Jennie, here's a young dudo that wants to make pictures of how ye live; think it's safe to let him down there among the gals?" TREATMENT IN THE STORES. In answer his wife came up the compan ionway way and welcomed the reporter to the cabin helm, with instructions to make himself "to home." It would have been a most bashful young man, indeed, who would not have felt at homo among this jolly pnrty. The girls, with their pretty faces, came right up to the interviewing scratch, and told everything they knew about canal boat life, and how they were treated by clerks in the stores when they went shopping in town if they askrd that their purchases be delivered on a canal boat. "Why," explained the youngest of tho tw0 ..t-h'ose cei were all jUbttoo nice t0 for efi ,,ntn thov discovered, as we were paying our bills anu giving orders tor delivery of goods, that we were living on a canal boat. It was jirt too rich to pee how their jaws fell when they thought bow nice they had been to ordinary canal people." Then tho two told of how they had spent the winter in tho Erie basin of the dances and parties and wedding- and the fun they had had roaming over the 300 boats. On another boat there was a good organ and r. young woman, w ho boasted that shfo was the captain's daughter, could steer a bojit, cook a dinner aud play the organ, and was only 9 years old. Altogether, the women of the canal havo quite as nice a life and are just as nice peo ple as the average of their sex who reside on land. Troy Press. VTliy tho Story Waa Not Finished.

Cor. Pila- Pulling tie Boll's Tail. Our special good fortune was to be among the fewuests invited to witness the caul Icadaro given by the members o the Jockey club in honor of the young and lovely wife of a certain European diplomat resident in Mexico. One by one the cavaliers rode round fhe corner of the building into the course before us, halting a moment to rein their chargers up to the grand stand, there under the colors of Mexico floating in the winds to bespeak the favor of some fair friend. As by one consent they all rode at full tilt to the end of the course, across which was a rough rail fence, serving to pea in a number of bulls, ponies and mules. A servant lifted the rude gato and others belabored a- poor bull, until, wild with rage, it ran down the course with all its clumsy speed. There was a wheeling of horses, the mounted servants riding at the head of the already infuriated animal con tinuing to urge it to further 6peed by re peated blows over the head and shoulders. The cavaliers, meantime racing their steeds until one shot for ahead of the others, came up alongside the bull, when the leader reached out and grasped its tail in his right hand, then getting a firm hold, by a quick and sudden trick threw his rigmS leg over the tail which, ho still held. By spurring his horse to the utmost of his power he dragged the poor tormented bull, whirling it a few rods and throwing it to the ground with much force. It is a good horseman who can do this, and not by any means were all the assem bled members of the Jockey club able to accomplish it, even though superbly mount ed. Most of them could speed their nags, and, overtaking the bnlf, catch him by the tail, bun when it came to the quick jerk at the same instant that the leg is thrown over the tail, ah! that was another matterl Although there were perhaps twenty bulls, after an hour or two hey became, thor oughly jaded. Then tho gallants dis mounted, and, giving an arm each to a lady, conducted all of us to a lovely gar den near by, where the scene suddenly changed and took tho form of a fete cham petre. Mexico Cor. Chicago Herald. Nothing Extraordinary. Some ten or twelve years ago an incident happened at Gibraltar which illustrates the practical views of a certain class of people. A subaltern named O'Dqnohne was the officer of the guard at the Elphinstone Guard. At this point of the world known rock there is a sheer drop of over 1,000 feet. A lieutenant walked over the rock and un doubtedly was dead before ho reached tho rocks far below. When the officer of the guard, upon being relieved, made out his leport of his guard he made no mention of the fact. Indeed, when he came to fill in his report and reached the question, "Has anything extraordinary happened while you were an officer of the guard?" he wrote In the blank space reserved for the answer, "Nothing." Of course, he was summoned before Lord Napier, of Magdala, tho governor of Gib raltar. When he appeared, Lord Napier asked: "You were the officer of the guard at El phinstone Guard yesterday?" "I was, sir." "And this is your report?" "It is, sir." "Liout. M was killed by walking over the rock?" "He was, sir." "You knew that when you made out your report?" "I did, sir." "That he was killed?" "Yes, sir." "And yet you said in your report that nothing extraordinary had happened on your guard?" "I did, sir." "Well, Mr. O'Donohue," said Lord Na pier, sternly, "don't you think it is extra ordinary when a lieutenant walks over tho rock, falls 1,000 feet and is killed?" "Indeed, sir," was the prompt reply, "I should think it was extraordinary if he had fallen that far and'riot been killed." New York Tribune. American Credit Abroad.

It is the law in Franco for the govern ment to bury all of its citizens. In that country funerals are a government monop oly, and the undertakers ere military of ficers, rankins nsually as majors or cap tains. Tho finer the funeral tho higher the rank of tho official in charge, -n-ho is dressed, as a rule, in black velvet, with much gold lnce. a sword and a eooknde. The burial bureau in Parii occupies one of tho largest building in the world. If you dio there your relatives and friends arc not consulted at all as to your funeral. The bureau upon receiving report of your death through tha police takes its own steps to find out tho social position and means of your family In accordance with its information on these points the funeral is ordered. If the bureau decide that you ought to have a first class funercl you are compelled to have it whether or no, and if it is not paid for promptly tho family cod8 will be con fiscated. The sort of funeral chosen for you will bo one of eleven claeses, as tho bu reau may direct, the expense descending f?om $5,000 for a a first olaea burial to 312 for a tenth class interment. Paupers come in the eleventh class and are put under ground for nothing. Cor, Washington DRS. TERRILL PURDY. DOCTOR TERRILL 154 MAIN ST., WICHITA, KAX.

Wekeriin is a French musician and composer who passes some of his leis ure hours in collecting, from out-of-the-way sources, anecdotes end general gossip concerning things musical. In the second volume of his "Musicana" appears a Wag ner story, aptly illustrative of the force of prejudice, whioh seems to be quite as en titled as justice to an eye bandage. Stu dents of Wagner's life know that, while struggling for a precarious wage in Paris fifty years ago, he arranged a pianoforto edition of Donizetti's "La Favorita." His name, then almost unknown, did not com mend the arrangement, and the publisher accordingly had it printed in very small letters on the title page. Years passed. "Tannhauser" was produced at the Grand Opera, and Wagner was everywhere spoken of, if not quite everywhere spoken against. Tho publisher at once brought out a now edition of "La Favorita," with "Richard Wagner" in largo letters. Imagine his as tonishment whon, one day, n customer en tered ths bhop, and. laying ft oopy of Doci tztti'a opera on tho counter, observed: "Look here, sir; I have brought back thia cooro!

BEliCUFJt sTKUM; A. L. ALLEN, secretary. Chairman, Somo of the party papers are insisting that George Y. Click shall be the Demo cratic nominee for governor. That would be tho consistent thing for the party to do, but as it is not noted for exhibiting that virtue it will do tho ex pedient thing and endorse "Willetts. Xote the prediction. Edison declares hat the electrocution of Kemmler was a wretched bungle, and as the greatest living electrician Edison ought to know, lie claims that the cur rent should bo applied through the hands. York state has another criminal under death sentence and it may be that the state will try Edison's method on him. Mr. Plumb's proposition in regard to tho tariff on tin plate is so reasonable and just, even to the interest of the manufacturer, that it seems to us that no saue. thinking person could find an excuse for objecting to or opposing it. And yet from the tone of tho discussion of the subject in tho senate Thursday and tho votes of that body on the pend ing question it is doubtful whether Mr. Plumb's proposition will be accepted. If it is not, or something equivalent to it. somebody is going to be mighty sorry for it, and not mauv moons hence, at that. Those who are disappointed at the work of tho Alliance' convention at To peka, Tuesday, particularly in its not naming tho man for governor whom the Democrats were so anxious to have nom inated; we say such disappointed ones either forget that the convention was held at the Republican headquarters of the state, or they have a mighty poor opinion of the manipulating ability of tho Republican leaders whose business it is to look out for such snaps. Its tauta JiztDg, but its f uuny. THE "PEOPLE'S" TICKET, ANDSO-FORTH. The nomination of J. F. Willets by the People's party to bo its candidate for governor seems to have been a clear case of the office, or rather the nomination, seeking the man. It is said thatho pro tested, setting up the plea that lie was unfit for the position. He may be right, but whether he is or not his apparent dif fidence only intensified the enthusiasm of a large majority of the convention and made his nomination inevitable. It is claimed that his nomination will se cure and insure the united support of all the discontented factions and isms in the state except perliaps the Democrats and Resubmissionists. These last very clearly desired and expected that ex-Governor Charles Robinson would be chosen, and it he had there is no doubt that he would have been cordially indorsed and sup ported by both of these, though the ac tion of the convention indicates that he would not have received the united sup port of some of the other followings. Mr. AVillets being an unknown and untried man hitherto it is doubtedby'some that he will be able to impress himself up on the Democrats, in the short time that remains until the meeting of their state convention, sufficiently to cause them to accept and support him. This is the way it looks from a casual observation; but in fact, to our mind, ,rhere is very little &oubt that the Democrats will ac cept the nominee of the People's party as a dernier resort. Thev will trv to con sole themselves with the thought that as weak and bad as he may be, from a party standpoint he can not be any more harmful or objectionable than the Re publican nominee, whoever he may be, and further, that they have nothing to lose, while there is little or no hope of gaining anything by making a straight party tight; knowing that a three-cornered contest would insure defeat to them and success to the Republicans. The Eagle's guess is, therefore, that there will be no Democratic ticket for state officers put in the field this year, and whether the convention that meets in this city September 9 endorses the Peo ple's ticket or not there will be an under standing that that ticket shall receive the support of the Democratic party. No reference is here made to the balance of the ticket than the candidate for govern or; it isn't necessary; it is understood that the tail goes with the hide, always. CROP SHRINKAGE AND ITS EFFECTS. As food for man and beast, the lead ing cereals, wheat, corn and oats, with potatoes, can replace each other. If wheat is scarce and corn plentiful, more of the latter can be consumed, and vice versa. If corn is scarce and oats abund ant, oats make up in part the lack of corn in feeding and fattening animals, and oats have latterly taken the place of tt good deal of wheat for human con sumption, and usefully so. When the grains are scarce, potatoes, if abundant and cheap, help out largely. But this promises to be :t year of shrinkage all around. The decrease from last year's crop now promises for wheat, say S0,000, 000 bushels; for corn, 500,000,000 bushels; for oats, 170,000,000 bushels and added to this, we have for the present promise scarcely half an average potato crop. All these will tell upon tho live stock, which aro now being rushed into market in such large numbers cattle of all ages and fatness and leanness, breed ing sows and pigs. Live stock promises to be at a premium instead of a drug, during a year or two to come. In view of these conditions the farm ers will do well to husband their re sources in every particular as far as practicable. Let all practice strict econ omy in the use of feed for all live stock, taking care the while not to dispose of any of their stock at a sacrifice or for less than a fair value in price. By the exercise of good judgment and prudent management the farmers of Kansas with few exceptions will be able to go through the coming winter in good shape and bo in a position to reap tho benefits of the advance in prices that is sure to come all along the line before tho beginning of another season's active operations. According to the Arkansas City Trav eller, B. II. Clover, the Alliance candi date for congress in the Third district, is the possessor of 1,G00 acres of excellent tillable land, seventy-five head of horses, about 100 cattle and all of tho necessary machinery for successful farming, and that it has all been procured by him since he became a resident of Cowley county sixteen years ago. As a farmer this does not look much like he was very sorely pressed by hard times and per nicious legislation. But, then, it may be that his constituency of the Alliance may have selected him as their candi date because of his apparent thrift, upon tho supposition that n man who can manage his own private affairs success fully is capable of managing the affairs of state. Senator Hoar denies making use of the assertion that he had rather see every New England factory burned dowd and the laboring people there reduced to 50 cents a day and codfish diet, than that the federal election bill should fail to pass. "We are no less gratified to give him the benefit of tho denial than we were surprised at the declaration alleged to have been made by him. If the state ment had been true we had decided that the old gentleman had gone daft. Heligoland has been tiansferred from England to Germany with great show of official pomp. The inhabitants appear to accept the situation philosophically, and, indeed, it is likely that their allegiance to Germany will be strouges than it was to Englaud. to which they were bound by uo particular ties of nationality, affec tion or common interests. Germany is naturally exultant over its acquisition, which certainly, in a strategetical sense, is a valuable prize. If the Emperor "William can keep his peace he will soon be able to tire out his brother monarclis of Europe with his interminable activity. He dashed about Englund last week in a way that as tounded his royal uncles and cousins, and is now off for fresh worlds to con quer. To what extent he will be able to permanently impress his influence upon Eurojean affairs remains to lx? seen, but he will not fail from any underconfi dence or lack of energy.

My dark eyed friend, and I; Where the waters dance and leap O'er the pebbles at our teat. As we watch the changing sky. Or, in dreamy mood we sit. While the sunbeams 'round us flit. Anil o'er our heads the waving branches meet; Or read some tender poem. While the brook is ever flowing. Making sweetest music, at our feet. Italian skies stretch far above u?, stately trees are bending o'er us 'Round their roots the water dances And betu een the twining branches We can see the snow-capped peak. From whoso springs the waters lean O'er the rock-, between the ridges, Down beneath the rustic biidges, Tlnough the parks and shady glens, Flow iu.; o'er its shining sands. Ever restless, free to roam Far from its mountain home. Sinking, dancing merrily. On its Journey to the tea. When the twilight hour has found us And the mountains clo-e around us And the sun ha-, left no traces in the west. We hear the chime bells ringing And voices sweetly singing. But 'tis the music of the brook that I love best. As out on the night I look I ee the t-pirit of the brook And I feel its tontler. soothing power. As the stars their lgils keep. The sweet brook sings me to sleep In the darkness of the quiet midnight hour. Mils. J. M. K.VAPP, Hotel Ruxton, Manitou Springs. The Marion Record contradicts, by in direction, the statement made a few days ago by the Eagle's correspondent at Marion in regard to the inscription upon the blackboard at the Whipple school house, that county, that was per mitted to remain during the Alliance meeting held there a few days ago, which inscription was a mean, villainous aspersion upon Union soldiers. If the statement was untitle, the Record should have denied it unequivocally and in plain terms, as a defense of the good name of the citizens of its county. If it is true it should not undertake to de fend the perpetrators of the outrage by attempting to discredit some one else. If the statement at first published by the Eagle is not true we want to know it, but can not accept a denial by intimation. SOME PERTINENT POINTS. "Wellington, Kan., Aug. 14, 1S90. To the Editor of the Eagle. Last winter tho farmers and the Alli ance men of Kausa-s strongly petitioned Governor Humphrey to call an extra session of the legislature for the purpose of granting relief to that class of citizens who were in danger of losing their homes by the foreclosure of mortgages, in the way of granting time to redeem the mortgaged land after sheriff's sale. Not much attention was paid to their appeals. They, like the resubmissionists. were considered to have no rights the governor thought he should respect. Yesterday the People's party, the Alli ance party, the Labor party, etc., in convention assembled supposedly in the interest of the farmers of Kansas, adopted the usual stereotyped resolu tions, affirming the principles of the St. Louis platform, shorter hours for labor ers; the equal distribution of lands for homes; the passage of the service pension bUlj payment of ex-prisoners of the war, for the time spent in prison, etc., some of which, are very good, but the necessaries of life" to the western farmers are left out entirely, whether from a lack of decision to affirm them, a distaste for them, or from an oversight is not clear. From what had been said in the past one would have a right to ex pect that that body would have de manded legislation granting a reason able time to redeem lands sold to satisfy mortgages. Eveiybody thought that that convention would have demanded legislation to the effect that no personal judgment could be maintained against the mortgagor after the land mortgaged for one-third its actual cash value as stated by the mortgage company's in spector had been sold to satisfy the mortgage. These questions seem to me to be the vital questions of interest to the citizens of Kansas this year. The Seventh dis trict got the earth when they nominated Ilallowell, and if LTallowell comprised the legislature next winter these ques tions would be satisfactorily fixed or there would be a fuss. No longer can the people of the state look to the Al liance to adjust their wants. They still will have to depend upon theRepublicans for legislation and f sincerely trust they, the Republicans, will not overlook these suggestions in their count', district and slate conventions. Respectfully, Charles "Willsie. A CURSE TO KANSAS. From the Leavenworth Times. The course that has been pursued by the leading Republicans at Topeka for veal's has been a curse to Kansas. While making public professions of friendship for the cause of temperance they have privately refused to encourage the en forcement of the law in the large cities, where there is a strong sentiment in op position to the law, and most of them are anything else than practical prohi bitionists. A number of the Republicans of the capital city, men who are always prominent in Republican or prohibition conventions, are in the habit of getting gloriously drunk in private. A. BC Cambell is not the only public man in Topeka who is in the habit of going on a debauch. Several of the present state officers, and others who were in office there but recently, are great lovers of the flowing bowl and when under the influ ence of that which flows therefrom have lwen known to go as far as Campbell went, saving the trip to the roof. The Times has shown that the present gov ei nor is not an advocate of prohibition in the cities, though he poses before the state at large as prohibition's high priest. All these things interfere greatly with the enforcement of the prohibitory law in the state and give occasion to its ene mies, to jibe at it and to claim that it is a failure. IN DARKEST AFRICA Frren the Albfei Ualon. Stanley's great work, "In Darkest Africa, or the Quest, Rescue, and Retreat of Emin Governor of Equatoria," has been issued and a copy of the work in two volumes lies on "our desk. It is printed on fine paper, profusely illus trated with cuts and in its handsome binding presents a magnificent appear ance. It is the only genuine Stanley book, being written by Henry M. Stan ley himself, and published by Scribner Brothers, of New York. J. F. Hughes, of Hamilton, has secured the agency for Monroe and Mahaska counties, and" any one desiring copies should make applica tion to him. Accompanying the work are three maps showing the route fol lowed by the -expedition. The book is in reality the daily journal kept by Startey, and gives a complete record of the oc currences of each day. The work is one of the most valuable contributions to literature during the present century. It throws floods of light upon what has heretofore been aptly styled the "Dark Continent." Stanley now stands along side of Livingstone and otfier great ex plorers. He has proven himself to be the greatest explorer of the age. George T. Anthony is sojourning in Boston. There are not so many people re marking the renominatkm of Fnnstoa In Boston ostharu in Ottawa. SUNFLOWER SHIMMER. Now for the solution: Let "X" equal the political situation in Kansas Bill Hackney is in Boston. As this is as near as Bill ever gets to Britain, it is expected that English stock will at once drop. It is apparent that the anti-Perkins organs are worrying about Mr. Perkin's re-election more thaC the present congress man himself. The greatest apprehension among the delegates of the People's convention at Topeka seems to have been that the Demo crats mighc steal its candidate for gov ernor. Now'that General Rice has written ono piece in the papers about Tngalls and made one speech against him, he had bet ter pull out his old geography and try and locate himself. The Alliance Advocate, of Topeka, is fighting James Hallowell and the Hallo well organs run the Advocates attacks right along with the complimentary notices of "Prince Hal." BentMurdock, or whoever is editing tho El Dorado Republican, says "Senator Ingalls is not a rustler." It is very plain that the El Dorado paper is fishing for an autograph letter from Dan Voorhees. They talk about Willitts as being a man of no ability. Where did the information come from? The very first thing Mr. Wiliitts did was to fall in with the Demo cratic opinion that he was "unfit for the place." On the tariff reduction question Mr. Craig, of the Emporia Republican, is like the small naked boy who stands shivering on the bank and refuses to go swimming because there is a boy already in whom he doesn't like. The El Dorado Republican is disgusted with two or three hundred Kansas editors and advises them to give up newspaper work and go to farming. This is a very brilliant way of announcing what those "two or three hundred editors" think of the El Dorado Republican. The Leavenworth Times says "A. B. Campbell is not the oulypublic man in Topeka who has gone off on debauches." It begins to look like it is the part of pres ervation on the side of tho Topeka crowd to see that Colonel Anthony goes to con gress from the first district. The Udall Record issued last week with turned column rules because of the death of the editor and proprietor, Edwiu Cook. He was 2t years old and conducted the paper since April last. He was bright and competent and Udall and vicinity will miss him greatly. Not a lawyer was elected to the legisla ture in Oklahoma, but there is well grounded suspicion that some of the lucky candicfates have a copy of Blackstoue sewed in the lining of their hickory shirt3. This much for the consolation of the legal lights of Kansas who have struggling brothers in the new laud. The Leavenworth Times proceeded the other day to present to view a perfect free trade paradise, but immediately after with a "but" and several provisions knocked the free-trade scenery logically into smithereens. This is more important than it looks. Hitherto tho Times has left out the free-trade phantasmagoria and displayed only the "but." We hope Col onel Anthony will construe this as we mean it. PEOPLE'S PARTY PLATFORM. Following is the full text of the plat form adopted by the convention of the People's party in Topeka, "Wednesday, which we give for the information of all who feel an interest in that movement: The People's party of Kansas, in dele gate convention .this day assembled, recognize Almighty God as the rightful sovereign of nations, and from whom all just powers of government are de rived, and to whoso will all human en actments ought to conform, and whereas the convention is composed from all shades of political beliet, and whereas we have agreed that the great questions of labor, land, transportation and finance are the economic questions before the country and the world, therefore wo set forth the following as the great underly ing principles of the questions aforesaid as exemplified in the St. Louis demands. Labor Labor is the beginning of progress, the formation of the world, and the laliorer is entitled to a good liv ing and a full share of the profits which result from his labor. Second The use of labor saving ma chinery should shorten the hours of toil, and inure to the benefit of tho employed equal with the employer. Land The earth is the common heri tage of the people; every person born in to to the world is entitled equally with all others to a place to live, and earn a living, and any system of government that does not maintain and protect this inalienable right is wrong and should be changed or abolished. Pensions We favor a service pension to every union soldier, and we bel eve that justice demands that the difference between the depreciated currency m which the union soldiers were paid, and gold in which they were to be paid should l)e made good, and as full and complete faith be kept by the government with the soldiers as with the bond holders; and that ex-prisoners of war be remuner ated for the time sorved in prison. The St. Louis platform is also adopted as follows: First We demand the abolition of national banks and the substitution of legal tender treasurer notes in lieu of national bank notes, issued in sufficient volume to do the business of the country on a cash system, reglutating the amount on a per capita basis as tho business in terests of the country expand; and that all monev issued bv the government shall j be legal tender in payment of all debts, j both public and private. oeconu u e uemanu me tree anu un limited coinage of silver.

After all. this summer has been harder on the catfish than anything else. An Oklahoma Cityyoung lady caught an eight-pound cattisbthe other day. The roosters in Oklahoma are crowing, and thev are none of them spring chickens. The Kingfisher county officers have moved into the new courthouse at King fisher. The Beaver Tribune is original if any thing. It remarks that "grass is high in this country." The Oklahoma City Times published the official election returns of Oklahoma coun ty, last Wednesday. Some of the boys who own guns have been loading shells now for over two weeks for tho first big hunt. John II. Gatteral. of Guthrie, is spoken of as the successor of Hon. John I. Dille as register of the land office at Guthrie. Frank Gillette, a .state senator in the Kansas legislature, will soon move to Ok lahoma and reside there permanently. The Oklahoma City Journal is authority for the statement that M. W. Reynolds left his family in comfortable circumstan ces. Senator Plumb is a great friend to the Oklahoma people, yet the are men who say mean things about him every day in the new land. The town site commissioners are ex pected to arrive in Oklahoma City on the 20th of this; month to organize and get ready for business. The way turnips are going in this fall must kind of dumb-found the alarmist who thinks people are going to starve in Oklahoma this winter. The Kingfisher Journal asks: "Did you guess right on Oklahoma's politics?" This is a cute way the Journal hits of showing that the majority of its readers are Re publicans. This has been one of the hottest summers on record in the west. A cold winter al most invariably follows a hot summer, it is the smart man who is storing a few ex tra suits of underclothes away. Secretary Noblo has sent a message to congress asking for the immediate passage of a bill giving the Oklahoma townsite trustees power to subpoena witnesses and hold them for contempt if necessary. The Beaver Tribune asks "where was the Republican party when the light went out." From reports we have about con cluded that withe thu aid of the People's party it was sitting very energetically on the Democratic party of Oklahoma. The Baptists of Oklahoma will hold n 1 territorial convention at Isorman, Ok., August 29, 30 and 31, 1800. Every church in tlie territory is requested to send at least three delegates, i ree entertainment to all.

There seems to be a good deal of feeling on account of that appropriation of aid. An Oklahoma City man writes the EAGLfc.: "The people of this territory do not need aid from the federal government. The only aid they need is in the cheaping of tribunals for settling the 10,000 land con tests pending in the country, and almos the same number in the cities." Oklahoma City Journal: The lovable and genial nature of Milt Reynolds was conspicuously illustrated in his newspaper work, lie was constitutionally opposed to the argument of abue. He abhorred a personal "newspaper fight." He would submit to columns of abuse and say never a word in answer, though his defense was perfect. He himself seemed constantly to strive to say of all the best he could. He was generous and enthusiastic in friend ship and more than just to his enemies. His fine observance of the courteMei and amenities of journalism might well be im itated by the profession. New York Press: The fight made by James B. Weaver.of Iowa, when a mem ber of the last congress in behalf of the Oklahoma boomers seem not to have been appreciated by those ho served. Dav and night for nearly a week he held the fort as a tilibu-terer in behalf of the boomers. Upon his retirement from congress he went into the territory as a new field of political honors, but so far has not been successful. It is understood that he will pn back to Iowa, and will endeavor to come back to congress from his old dis trict now represented by Mr. Lacey. EXCHANGE SHOTS. Where? Who? When?

The people of Kansas love honesty and fair dealing, and this jugglery with one of the vital issues of the day will not add votes to the Peoples' ticket next Novem ber. They're Partizanly Purblind. From the Lesnen worth Times. The Eagle speaks of the "little fel lows" in congress who were going to read Blaino out of the Republican party be cause of his criticism of the McKinley bill. So fai as we have been able to see it was Democrats who were going to pull him out of the party and embrace him in their joy at tindinghim not in harmony with some of the other leaders. A Dem ocrat never can see that an honest man may criticise his own party and still pre fer it to the other one. An Apt Rejoinder. From the Emporia Kepublicun. The Lawrence Journal makes tho startling assertion that the success of the Republican party depends upon the suc cess of Ingalls, and aks If tho Republi can is "willing that the party should go down in order that it may revenge itself on Ingalls?" If the party has come to the pass that its fate hangs upon the suc cess or failure of any single politician's attempts to secure "a fourth term, we don't know that it is worth keoping up. But the Journal does tho party a gross injustice. It is not the ppronal instru ment or vassal of any individual. It will not "go down.' Beet Sugar and Reciprocity. From the Kana City Xews A feature of Mr. Blaine's reciprocity program is said to le an attempt to in duce Germany to open her markets to the American hog, by opening in turn our markets to German beet sugar. This game is well worth tho candle, which is mora than can be said of reciprocity with certain South American countries. But American markets should not bo opened to German beet sugar without a provision for paying a federal bounty to makers of beet sugar in the United States. Germany built up its beet sugar industry in a few years by the aid of national Iounties, and Uie Unsted States, with all natural advant ages on its side, can do the same. Let 'om Settle It. From the Prutt Republican The Union savs that some fellow, in a letter to the Wichita Eagle, said of "Jerry Simpson, our candidate for con gress, almost everything mean ho could think of, calling him a 'Democrat, Un ion Lalxir, anti-Republican, free trader, anything for ollice.' According to the editor of the Union. then, it is "meau" to call a man a "Democrat," u "Union i.aborite," an "anti-Republican" or a "free trader." If Marshal Jerry is not' a "Union Laborite," an "anti-Republican" and a "tree trader wjiat in litumier is he? What was he nominated for? Tho same letter accused Jerry of the grave charge of atheism. The Union evi dently lwlieves, therefore, that it's meaner to be called a "Union Laborite" than an infidel. But we will not take issue with the Union upon this last prop osition.

"Here is s towel that is nevemvoshed and yet is always kept clean," said.a chemist to a reporter, handing to him act the same time what appeared to the eycand touch to be nothing more nor less tlixm. an ordin ary .pices of coane cotton toweling. "What sort of laundry do yon. send it tof' was the natural query. "This kind," replied tho man of science, Colng over to tho corner of his laboratory and stuffing the towel into a small stove that was burning "brightly there for chem ical purposes. T understand," said the visitor. Xou never use such a towel morothan once' "You aro very much mistaken there," re sponded tiro chemist. "I use such towels almost forever and they almost neverwear out" With that he lifted off tho bd of tho stovo again and took out the towel with, the tonga, dipping it in cold water, and then, handing it once more to the news paper "man. "Whs-," ex claimed tho latter, "it is not even injured! What is it made of?" "It"is made of rock." answered the chem ist; ""but a very peculiar kind of rock so peculiar, indeed, that the ancients supposed the stuff of which this towel is woven to v nf n vnswfcable nature. They used to wrap bodies that wero to be burned in i cloths made ox tho same uax nas suu ctance in order to keep the ashes from be inff lost among the charred wood of the funeral pyre." "Bat what is it called?" "You have often heard of it under the name of 'asbestos,' though very few people apparently have any notion as to what it really is. Enormous deposits of it exist in Canada and elsewhere. It is a form of a very hard rock called hornblende, and is found in strata of a fibrous consistency readily divisible into silky strands resem bling fla. This likeness has given it the name of 'earth flax.' You can seo for your self from this towel how much it looks like a vegetable fabric when woven. An asbes tos towel may be used for pretty nearly tho samo purposes as an ordinary towel, and, when it is dirty, all you have to do is to throw it into tho fire and rake it out after a little while perfectly clean." "Is asbestos used for any other purposes dn these days?" "Oh, yes. It is employed for roofing ma terial, boiler felting, paper stock and in tho mixing of nreproot paints lor stage scenery. Also clothes for firemen and gloves to handle red hot iron with aro made of it. Sometimes the mineral is found in thin sheets of interlaced fibers, known as 'mountain leather.' Elsewhere it is not in frequently procured in thick sheets, and in that condition is called 'mountain cork.' Washington Star. Dra;on Trees. The vegetablo and plant life on the Ca nary Islands has not so luxurious a growth as that which is found on the Madeiras. Noverthele&s there is a great variety of in teresting plants which well repay the at tention of botanists, and some part& of the islands are like beautiful gardens. Of all the botanical wonders which can be seen there the one which is perhaps most worthy of special mention is the dragon tree (dracama draco). Alexander von Humboldt was the first one to direct attention to this gigantic tree. The example of this kind of tree which was measured by hi:n was in the garden region of Orotava, on the northern coast of tho island of TenerilTe, and had a trunk circumference of seventy-nine feet. Hum boldt reckoned its age to be ten tnousand fears, but the latest critical researches prove-that ho placed the age much too high. Tho next largest tree of tins species which Is laiown todt.y is the dragon tree of Icod lie los Binos, on the western coast of Tcn fcrifrc. This tree was carefully measured in 1857, and again in 1S81. The first time the cir cumference of the trunk, at the height of a little less than threo meters from the ground, was found to be nine and one-half meters; twenty-seven years later it was eleven meters, seventy centimeters, more than tldrty-oight feet. The tree, therefore, 1im been proved to increase in sizo much more rapidly than Humboldt supposed. The top of this tree is of thick clusters of sword shaped leaves on rather soft, pliable branches, and spreads out in a very piefc urcsquo manner. Youth's Companion. A Point for Persons Going Abroad. Tho other day I went down to sec a friend oil for Europe. I found him walking the dock of the steamer with a small black mo rocco bound book in his hand, on each covpr of which was stamped prominently a large gold cross. As my friend's religious belief is ntther of a negative than positive character I was somewhat surprised to see him with tuch a look in hi? hand, and doubtless expressed my surprise in my look. "Ilrt' ha!" lie exolaimwi, as ho caught my eye, it's a great scheme, my boy." He opened his book and I saw that it was a copy ofBaedeker't. "Central Italy." "You see," he continued, "tho red covered Bae deker is an advertisement to tho guides and hotel people and shopkeepers all over Europe that its holder is a tourist, and consequently tho fellow who carries It around with hiui is annoyed at every stop. I had this cover which I can apply to any volume of Baedeker made for me he last timoT wjjj abroad, and it wived mo :vlc$Tof liiffloyance.

The edfble banana, it is said, is knotvn to seed only in one small spot on earth, the Andaman Islands. However this may be, it-is universally grown from suckers. Its cultivation in the "West Indies has vastly increased during the p&st fifteen years, owing to the demands of the United States for its cheap, wholesome and luscious fruit. About 400 or 500 trees are planted to the acre, and the plantations are called "banana walks." The tree fruits the first year, explains Garden and Forest, and the expense of cultivation is so small that a bunch of bananas delivered at the sea coast need havo cost its owner no more than four or five cants, while it may be sold in the winter months for from twelve to eighteen cents, and in the spring months for four times as much. There are risks attending banana cultivation, however, for the thievish necoes often seriously de crease the value of a crop, and it may be entirely swept aipay in a single hour by a hurricane. The Wort Performed by a Watch. Horticultural Review tells how a skill ful watchnisker one day thus reasoned with a customer. "You complain," he said, "tii &t your watch gsins minute a month. Well, then, you will congratulate yourself after you have beard me.

The fact that the waves of the North sea differ in shape when caused by northeast winds under high pressure from those caused by a southwest wind with low barometer is considered as a proof that the air in an anti-cyclone is a descending cur rent and the air in a cyclone an sacending current. By saturating bullets with vaseline they may be easily seen in their course from the rifle to the target. Their trajectory course is marked by a beautiful ring o i smoke caused by tho vaseline being igmitrd on leaving the mnzzle of the gun, the smoke being suspended for some time in tho air if not too windy.

BEE SUPERSTITIONS. Bees, it is said, object to thrive if dishon estly como by; on tho contrary, they forth with pino away and die. Tho swarming of bees on a piece of dead wood is regarded as a sure sign of death in Komo districts of England. In some parts of England tho entrance of a bnmble bee into a cottage is looked upon as a certain sign of death. To fcell bee? for money is considered a most unlucky proceeding, bnt thi-ymay be bartered away and all will yo rignt Quarrelsome people, if inclined to livo in the country and keep bees, are warned to mend their ways or their hives will soon become deserted. In France, when the mistress dies, tho custom is to tap thrice on the hive, repeat ing these words in French: "Little bees, your mistress is dead." It is a common saying in Hampshire, England, that bees do not succeed at all in storing up honey whenever there are wars abroad. London Standard. In some parts of England tho bees nro not only informed of a death in the family, but their apiaries aro decked with crape and the bees aro invited to the funeral. Informing bees of a death in a family is a custom still practised in mpjoy parts of England. If the necessary formalities were not fully conformed with tho cees would certainly take offense and leave their luvcs, never to return. In Lithuania, Poland, when tho maater or the mistress of the house dies, not only tho bees, but the hvo stock generally are supposed to be acquainted with Bhe fact by the rattling of a bunch of keys, and if this were omitted it is thought thu stock would die. ATCHISON PHILOSOPHY. The devil grins when he hears of a man of forty trying to reform. Tho real dangerous things arc usually regarded as perfectly safe. A true friend is always doubtful of his attractiveness to his friends. Irony has saved many men from egotism, and many women from vanity. Justice carries a two edged sword, but mercy purposely goes unarmed. In most cases where people arc wronged there is contributory negligence. If you would be popular with all men, reprove the wise and flatter the foolish If you had baan deceived an often as the world you would be juht a incredulous. Yon hear very little about idealism from the man who haa tried to ba hi own. idoaL sv Bright eyes and dull near sighted far sighted any body (except those who won't, and they are worse than blind) can see at a glance the advantages gained by using PE ARLI XE.

GLOBE, m Bonis Ave XM THE HAWKD&'MGN ENDED AFTER TWENTY-TWO YEARS A NEW VHITE HOUSE COACHMAN. Tho Old DaMcy "Wlio Guided the Horses for Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Arthur and Cleveland Tells Some of His Reminis cences to "Walter Wollman. Washington, Aug. 7. An unhappy man is Albert Hawkins, colored; and no wonder, for lie has lost a throne. Twenty two years has Hawkins sat supreme upon the box of the White House carriage, S:-'2&. J 1 .A HAWXLS'S ON THE BOX. and ho had long ago concluded he was thus seated for life. But for some reason Mrs. Harrison has let the old man go, and employed anew coachman in his place. Naturally the fall has nearly broken the old man's heart. Hawkins re tiros from his office with much bitter ness of heart and many interesting rec ollections of the White House and its occupants. The trouble is to induce him to talk. There is not a newspaper man in Washington who does not know from actual test how well Hawkins can hold his tongue. During the twenty-two years of his service in the White House stables he has been besought many thousand of times to give up bits of in formation, apparently trivial in them selves, but of piime importance to the chronicling craft. He has always re fused. It has been said of Hawkins that his own coach horses could not pull a word from his lips concerning the move ments or habits of his employers. He habitually drew his lips as tightly as he did his lines, and thus drovo calmly through twenty-two years of rough roads. Hawkins is a large, coal black man, whose hair is now silvered. He is a positive character, strong in his likes and dislikes, possessed of fancies and hatreds amounting almost to supersti tions. Mrs. Cleveland was the apple of his eye. To this day he is prone to talk of her sweetness, of her beauty, of her kindness. Ho shed tears when she left the White House, Republican though he is, and it was the mention of Mrs. Cleve land that loosened the old man's tongue. "Ah," ho exolaimed, ''that was a wo man of a million. That was the sweet- est woman that ever entered the White House in my day. I shall never forget dear, sweet Mrs. Cleveland. She" All things earthly, even such honest I rhapsodies, must come to an end, and so I I interrupted Hawkins with an inquiry concerning Ins first days as the presi dential coachman. "It has been said of me,'' replied the dethroned whip, "that I was in tho anny with Gen. Grant, and that he brought me to Washington as his coach man. That is not true. I did not enter the servico of tho general till after he was elected president. Gen. Grant was the greatest lover of fino horses we have had iu the White Houso in my day. He liked a spirited horse, one that was fond of plunging and rearing and of pulling the carriage along by tho bits. How my arms used to ache driving the general's favorite span over the country roach?. Ho nover wanted to go slow, no matter what the rocda were. Often I used to pull up on tho hills and dangerous places, but -Gen. Grant would sing out to me, "Let 'era go, Hawkins; thoy won't hurt themselves." And so I let 'em go, sometimes, it seemed to me, at the risk of killing everybody behind them. But Gen. Grant wouldn't let a horse of his be abused. He wanted them driven like the wind, but only for a short time, ajid then he wanted them taken care of like babies. I never in all my life saw such a particular msa .as ho was about the care of horses, and, it wasn't easy to fool'him, either. Ho used to comedown to tho stables when ho wasn't expected and take a look at things, and he knew when tho boys had done what was right and when they hadn't. Her was a power ful handy man to have about in case of sickness in the stable, too. "It has always appeared to mo," con tinued Hawkins, "that people didn't know Gen. Grant. For instance. I don't believe it was generally known that tho general was so gentle and kind and so hated to have any bother that the Whito Houso was ruled by Mrs. Grant as with a rod of iron. She managed everything, snd the general, along with all the other folks, gave wayto her. Mrs. Grant was easily angered and when in a passion was a regular whirlwind, but tho storm soon blew over, and then she was as sweet as she could be. She seemed to be sorry for something she had said while angry, and for a week or two she would actually bo so meek in the pres ence of the servants that they talked about it And then, when they were just ready to imagine that they could do as they pleased, she would flare up and make their heads swim. Nellie Grant was a sweet girl, enough like Mrs. Cleveland to be her sister, and it made me sick when she married that English man. That was all Mrs. Grant's doings. The general was opposed to it from the first, and he was mighty badly hurt over it, I can tell you. If it had been anybody but Mrs. Grant that he had to deal with on that occasion the wedding never would have come on. Mrs. Grant was the only person in the world that could induce the general to change his mind after he had once made it up. She ruled him completely. But she was a splendid woman, and we all liked, her. There was a change whan the Hayeses came in. We had no more fine horses. Mrs. Hayes was very popular among the servants, but for some reason we did not care much for Mr. Hayes. The Grants teemed to be in the White House for the fun there was ia it. while the Hayeses were more serious. President Hayes did not care a snap about horses and rarely rode out. It always seemed to mo that he was averse to being seen in public. A crowd umde him decided ly uncoirforiBbie. "Prcvitksit Garfield was ia whole r& &Ffa&S. b'Mt't AH fy3D$4ne fijL 5Mff M, souledhearty Sorfof mari,"gboa ntrure& and easy to approach. The family was a well ordered one,- and inclined to have some enjoyment out of life, though the boys were not half so wild as the Grant boys were. Miss Mollie Garfield was the pet of the White House during the stay of her parents, and we were all very fond of her, though I remember that we had a good deal of pity for her too, as she seemed all the time to be struggling along under a load of parental restraint. Once in a while she got over the traces and showed us that she had a 6pirit, and a right lively one at that. I shall never forget the morning PresMent Garfield was shot. I had driven him and Secre tary Blaine to tho station, and they had not been out of the carriage more than twenty seconds when I heard the report of the pistol. Though at that time I did not know what had happened, I felt that something had gone wrong with the president. In five minutes it couldn't have been longer there were 10,000 peo ple about that station. It seemed the whole of Washington had suddenly gath ered at Pennsylvania avenue, and the crowd was so dense that it was all I could do to force my horses through the mass of humanity. Men caught at the reins and grabbed hold of the wheels, swearing they would not let me go on till I told them what had happened. At that moment I knew nothing except that the president had been shot, but they wouldn't believe me. If the police hadn't come to my rescue I shouldn't have reached the White House in four hours. "When President Arthur came to the White House it was in many respects as if the Grant regime had been restored. President Arthur was the gayest man that ever occupied the presidential chair, I'll venture. I can see hini now as I used to see him, standing on the portico waiting for me to drive up. His clothes faultless; not a wrinkle anywhere; every garment and every seam a perfect fit, and trousers that were simply divine. Trousers were his weakness, just as horses were Gen. Grant's weakness. The servants used to tell me that Gen. Ar thur had a new pair of trousers made i every week, and that he had at times as many as seventy or eighty pairs in hia THE PRESIDENT'S STABLES. wardrobe, but I never believed that. Mr. Arthur rode out a great deal, and he wanted the equipage as neat and perfect as he was himself. One day we drove up to the White House with a little bit of dust on the victoria. Mr. Arthur saw it and it provoked him so much that he sent the carnage Daclc to tho stable and gave up his proposed drive. Every three months the footman and I had to go over to New York and spend a week getting new out fits. We paid a hundred dollars a suit, and sometimes bought ten or twelve suits at one order. The carnages and harness were of the most expensive pat tern and they had always to be kept looking just as if they had come from the shop. The silk hats which we wore during the day we were not allowed to wear at night. The president was very particular about this, as he said th? night air ruined silk hats. President Arthur spent money like water, not only on the stable but in the house, and I don't believe he saved a cent of his sal ary. "President Cleveland did not ride out much till after ho was married. When ho wanted to go out ho would order a carriage, and it didn't make a particle of difference to him what carriage was used or how many horses. I believe he would have jumped into an old fash ioned one horse chaise and never noticed the difference. But when the day of his marriage approached he began to spruce up and really became quite foppish. He kept this up ufl one dajr he discov ered that tho servants were laughing .at him, and then he blushed like a school boy and for a time tried to fall back to his old habits. "Mrs. Cleveland," Hawkins went on, with an enthusiasm which showed he at last had reached the topic nearest his heart, "was the most perfect lady that ever lived. None of the servants could ever be asked to do too much for her. Day and night they were always antici pating her least desire. And how the president did love her! I never saw such perfect devotion. I'll tell you a little secret about the Clevelands. When tha nevfbpapers used to say that Mr. Cleve land wa6 not treating his wife right tho president went nearly crasy. He used to say that he wished he were not presi dent of the United States, so that he might find the man that wrote those terrible things and choke him. And the presi dent did look to me as if he could kill the fellow. Bnt Mrs. Cleveland would say m her sweet way: 'Never mind, Grover. You oughtn't to care much if I don't, and I don't care a snap, as I know how false the st-eries are, and eome day the world will know it, too.' As to the present occupants of the executive mansion the ex-ccaclrman would hftve little to say, excepting as to BabyMcKee. "I like the whole fam ily," he said, "but I love that little ras cal. There is plenty of the old Nick under that boy's skiu, and he was a great pet of mine.'' Wjunn: Wexxhan. "The Scat of Character and Intellect.
