The Grangers, Vil lards, and New England, were the chief bull'orers In the decline. DETAILS OF THE FLUnRV. New York, Nov. 10. The stock market today continued the rapid and heavy de cline of the latter part of last week, and for a time this moruing it looked more like a panic than at any previous time since the downward movement began. As remarked by a prominent western manip ulator of stocks and other speculative commodities, it was only a rich man's panic, and thus far the slump in prices which has reached 15 per cent in some cases has been accompanied by a com plete freedom from failures upon the street emphasizing the fact that not for a long time have stocks been held to any ex tent upon the street in brokers' offices on margins. Today, however, the excitement, which was of the suppressed order, and almost entirely free from the usually noise and wild gyrations which have marked the transaction of business on the stock ex change at times, was sufficient to cause tho death of one of the leading members of he exchange upon the floor at about noon, uch an event would, in usual times, have been sufficient to cause the closing of tho exchange at once; but the magnitude of the interests which would have been en dangered by such a course forbade it, and after a half hour's interruption of business, trading was resumed upon the floor. The Gould pnrty are credited today with being large purchasers. At the lowest prices today Manhattan was down 8, sugar 0 Jjf, C, C, C.

Money was higher in London at noon, and all the great banks of Europe npjcar to bo grab bing for tho diminished supply of gold, some of which has gono to Spain and South America." shouted out their bids for stocks and an nouncement of sales. A messenger was hurriedly sent for Dr. Hewitt, who is a member of the stock exchange. He came seven minutes after Struthers had fallen. He saw the case was hopeless, and in three minutes he said Struthers was dead. As soon as it became known, President Dickeraian stopped the noise hv mounting the rostrum and announcing the death. He said business would be suspended for half an hour on account of the death; whereat, scores of brokers rushed off to make up their accounts. Gray-coated at tendants of the exchange brought a stretcher and the body was removed. Cor oner Levy came and examined half a dozen witnesses. Dr. Hewitt said he be lieved death was caused by apoplexy. Sharp to the minute or 12:30 o'clock exactly one-half hour after the recess had been announced the president again mounted the rostrum and made the official announcement of the death of James Struthers, late member of the New York Stock Exchange. Then as he stepped down, there was a rush and a shout, and business had once more been resumed on the floor. Mr. Struthers was 58 years old, and was a member of the firm of James Struthers Co., long since dissolved. He leaves a wife and a young daughter. He lived at 123 East Fifty-seventh street. WINDOM AND THE PANIC Washington, Nov. 10 Secretary Win don was kept fully advised of the con dition of tho money market today, but uiu noc ieei cauea on to taKo any action m the matter, beyond tho purchase of all the silver bullion that was offered the depart ment. The director of the mint said this was doneifor the relief ot tho market. The available treasury cash balance will be used principally in the redemption of the 4i per cent, loans. The secretary's offer of October 9. to redeem this class of bonds on presentation, at par, with interest to maturity, September 1, 1891, is still open. The bouds are coming in very slowly, and the total redemptions to date are less than five million dollais. A BUDGET OF NEWS OF VARIOUS DEGREES OF INTEREST.

PALMER'S HOPE. CHICAGO, Nov. 10. An error has been discovered in footinir un the returns nf Mm Second senatorial district, and it now ap pears that Kinney, the Democra'iccandi date for representative, was elected in stead of Hoppin, the Republican, as re ported. Owing to tho fact that the two parties have been thought to be a tie in the legislature, this discovery is of considera ble importance. If the official count veri fies the election of Kinnev, the Democrats will have 101 votes in the assembly and the Republicans but 100, thus making the election of John M. Palmer to the United States senate next thing to a certainty. GALVESTON SHIP LINE. Galveston, Tex., Nov. 10. There is a movement on foot which is rapidly assum ing practical shape looking toward thees- laonsnment ot a lino of steamships for reciprocal commercial relations and to ply between Galveston and various ports on tho northern states of South America, having connection with the systems of railroad lines running south from Cartha gena, and which will penetrate all the Pa cific States Of South America nnd t.-in all latitudinal lines of that country, thus 111U.R.1UH wiuiu iriuutary to uariuagcna aim the line of steamers contemplated to be es tablished between this port and Cartha gena. This lino is to be known as the Chi cago, Galveston and South American line, and is to be operated in conjunction with tho various railway systems terminating at Galveston. These steamers will make weekly trips, and the result will cause an appreciable difference in the cost of South American productions in that portion of country to which this vast svstem will bo ixioutary. powerful junction have tho means and the ability to put the enterprise turougu, Washington-, Nov. 10. The November returns to the department of agriculture of rates of yield per acre, make the following averages: Corn. 19.9 bushels; potatoes, 57.5 bushels; buckwheat, 14.5 bushels; hay, 120 tons; tobacco 57K pounds. The corn crop makes the smallest yield reported, exceedincr onlv thnr. nf isst which was 18.G bushels. That of 1SS7 was 20.1. It is S3 per cent of the average of t he last ten years, a period which includes four unusually poor years, and onlv 73 per cent of last year's crop.

The average rate of yield of potatoes is 57.5 bushels. Tiio condition of the crop in October was lower than in any reported previons crop, except in 18S7, being 61 against 61.5, when the rate of yield was 56.9 per acre.

Washington, Nov. 10. Hon. Robert T. Lincoln, minister from the United States to Eugland, reached the city this morning from Chicaco. He called on Secretary Proctor at the war department early in the day, and held quite a reception among his old official friends. Ho looks exceed ingly well, being somewhat stouter than he was while secretary of war, and he ap pears to be in the best of health. To an Associated Press reporter he said, in a positive manner: "Tho stories to the effect that I intend to resign my post, aud that I shall remain henceforth in America are absolutely false. I came here on a leave of absence, and General Booth continues receivingletters commenting favorably on his book, "In Darkest England, and the Way Out." setting forth c scheme for tho relief of poverty, ignorance and vice. The prince of Wales has written Gen eral Booth, thanking him for tho receipt of a copy of the book. He says he is con fident that be will be greatly interested in the perusal of the work, and that its sub ject is one that for many years has had much at heart. Letters of approval have also been re ceived from the bishops of Bath, Wells and Rochester; from the Rev. Mr. Moul ton, president of the Wesleyan confer ence, and Mr. Grubb, of the Quakers, who encloses a che k for -50. Chairman Laing, of the Brighton railway, has also written General Booth a letter in Bympathy, in which is enclosed a check for 100, con tributed for the furtherance of the scheme. General Booth has published a letter ex pressing thanks for the general support accorded him aud suggesting combined action on the part of the churches in the collection of funds. A circular letter, ap proving of the scheme and General Booth's suggestion, has been issued. It is signed by a host of clergymen, including Arcnaeacon jjarrar, ur. .rarKer ana Messrs. Berry, McNeill and Clifford, repre senting various religious denominations. THE OKLAHOMA CAPITAL AGAIN LOCATED. The House Votes to Concur in the Council Amendments to Post's Capital Bill.

Mr. Gould said: "There is, of course, as any one can sco by looking at the prices, a very great de pression. But there is no doubt that tho narket would have righted itM'lf, if tho tv Miblo in London had not come up.

Lundon, Nov. 10 On the stock exchauge today tho feeling of alarm and apprehen sion as to the results ot tho coming settle incot lHicame intense. Every kind of se curity was freely sold. American railroads w ire panicky, and the depression was es pouallv marked in dealing in the street.

Several finaucial houses in Paris ..re t. ng to induce the Bank of France to assist EiigUrsh firms to complete an engage ment to deliver 500.000 in gold in Madrid d iring the week. If the Bank of France accedes, its action will tend to avert an iu cuaseof the Bank of England's rate of d scount, and to ease the settlement. JAMES STRUTHERS' DEATH. Nfw Yokk, Nov. 10. The big clock on the wall of the Stock exchange wnntud ilf- en minutes of 12, when a trimly built man, a se hair was gray, entered by the Wall :tvr door. He was James Struthers, ami 1 e walked slowly and with eudent effort uirough the crowd toward the center of t ic ivom. Men who know him aud saw l'mp'8, remember now when thev talk 1 1 his dtmth, that ho acted as if something was the matter with him. They were too 1 usv to pay much attention to a sick man at the time too busy watching the rise and fall of the markets. It whs 11:50 when druthers roHchml a iKint on the floor le tween the sunds of the New York Central and the Chicago and Eastern Illinois. Grouped there Here C R Gunthcr, E. O Reed and a Mr. Francis. As Struthers t ime up behind Read, he tottered and brushed past him.

Tle next man he reached was Gunther. He tell wu- up against Gunther, who stepped cc tb f,U out of the way. This permitted hitu to fall to Ins knees. From that position lie tumbled forward on his face. Then Gunther and Reed jumped to his side and turned him ovur on his lwck.

Prof. Koch has dis missed as completely cured several of the patients whom ho lias been treating for sumption, iiis son-in-law, Dr. Peuncucl, promises that the method of tho treatment will be made public within three weeks. He said that the method is not. exactly or t lie nature of inoculation. He asserts that it cures lungs quickly and surely. BERLIN, Nov. 10. Prof. Bergman inocu lated fifteen consumptive patients on Thursday 13' Prof. Koch's process, and on tho following day exhibited one of the patients before a number of physicians in order to show the change that had resulted within twenty-four hours. The Borscn Courier says it hns authority for the statement that Prof. Koch's remedy has proven to bo a success. A famous German surgeon, it says, cured within five days a case of lupus or necrotic tubercular destruction of the tissues of the face. Tho National Zeitung says that Prof. Koch, although he has performed a num ber of cures, does not consider the time come for the publication of his researches. Although the remedy has been applied to patients in tho charit- hospital aud in some private cases, its composition re mains a profound secret. THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR. Denver, Nov. 10. Tho general assem bly of the Knights of Labor met in the Fifth street theatre in this city this after noon at 3 o'clock. There are already in this city over 300 delegates, and 103 more are expected to arrive tonight and tomor row morning. Among tho most promi nont knights present are Grand Master Powderly, A.

Tonight Mr. Powderly will deliver an address at the Coliseum upon the subject of "The Labor Situation of the Day," and no doubt will speak to one of the lnrgest and most en thusiastic audiences assembled here for some time.

Rarely has the Metropolitan opera house held such an audience as it did tonight when the Irish societies of the city of New York gave a public reception to the Irish representa tives, Messrs. O'Connor, O'Brien, Dillon, Sullivan, Harrington and Gill. There were about 4,000 people in the house, 3,200 being seated, and the remaining 800 on the platform and standing. At 6 o'clock peo ple began to demand admission, and when the doors were thrown open at 7, the top galleries were immediately packed. There were few deco rations in the house. An Irish flag was hung on either side of the first balcony. and the background of the stage was formed by two American flags, with a golden harp joined on a square of green in the center. The Sixth Regiment band was early in attendance and held the attention of the audience previous to the opening of the meeting, by playing such airs as the "Wearing of the Green," "The Star Spangled Banner," "Marching Through Georgia," etc. The audience filled the interval by cheering alternately for Par nell and the members of the Irish party, and hissing Balfour. A few minutes before 8 o'clock Messers O'Brien and Dillon walked on the stage. This was a sicnal for loud and enthusiastic plaudits, the neartiest of which came from the gallery, where the enthusiasm was of the wildest kind. The Irish party were escorted on the platform by Governor Hill, Mayor Grant, Recorder Smythe, Dr. M. B. Wallace, Amos J. Cummings and Joseph O'Donoghue. The Irish patriots took seats on the right of the stage, after shaking bands with many of those on the platform. Governor Hill took a chair in the center of the stage. When the loud outburst of cheers hud ceased, Mr. O'Donoghue called the meet ing formally to order. After a few appro Enate.remarks, he introduced Mr. John illon, who spoko of the Irish cause. When Mr. Dillon concluded the applauso was deafening, the band again played "The Wearing of the Green," and Gov ernor Hill next introduced Mr. O'Brien, who met with a reception as cordial as any that had been accorded during the evening. He said that he was gratified and as tonished at the welcome that had been given him and his compatriots. "We como here not for a relief fund, but for a fighting fund. Cheers. We want to fight tins system that has muue tno lamine and wo want to crush it." The secretary of the p.irl?jnentary fund then announced that the totals amonnt subscribed was: Receipts from the doors $4,000; subscriptions in the hall $33,000. Mr. Eugene Kelly was appointed treasurer ot tne fund. Governor Hill said ne wonld like to contribute when the delegates visited Albany, but he however, would subscribe on the spot $100. He then intro duced Mr. Thomas Power O'Connor, M. P., who spoke briefly. This ended the proceedings. Mrs. Parnell was an interested spectator during the evening.

MORNING SESSION. Howard and Linn were the only ab sentees at this morning's session of the counciL The reading of an amusing bill provid ing for taxes upon occupations, first enter tamed the councilors. The taxes proposed to be levied were so exorbitant that they would likely result in a prohibition of all occupations. It was referred to the pruning knife of the committee on ways and means. A divided report came In on tho liquor question and the matter was made a spe cial order for Wednesday morning. The council resolved itself into a com mittee of the whole, for the consideration of a bill prepared by Mr. Brown, of Okla home, defining the words "occupying claimants, and providing protection for their rights. It provides that where a person has set tled on town lots in good faith and im proved them, when it is determined that he is not entitled to possession, that he is entitled to the value of his improvements. Tho legality of this provision was at tacked by Mr. Brown of Logan, who said that the party to whom the title was awarded might not be able to buy the im provements. Mr. Brown of Oklahoma, was prepared with a fond of authorities to show that the subsequent provision in the bill bad been sustained by tho courts. According to these provisions, in case the owner of the land was unable to purchase the im provements, then the value of a portion of the land should (be determined and the owner of the improvements might pur chase it; otherwise they would be consid ered as tenants in common. The importance ot the question called forth a full discussion on the part of the legal members, which continued until ad journment for dinner. make a large investment in a water way with an assurance that it will be taxed whether it is used or not? I dig this canal, I pay the persons through whose property the ditch runs $50 per acre, I give them the use of the water for the purposes of irrigation, thereby enabling them to produce crops, unfavorable weather to the contrary. The general prosperity of the country is enhanced and the water made available. Does not this in itself prove of inestimable benefit to the surrounding country? The minute I begin to uso the water for milling or other manufacturing purposes, niv mill, mv machinery, and all the appurtenances must be taxed. If other parties utilize the water for manufactur ing their plants are taxed. Docs not the country at large reap a rich harvest in the way of taxation? Now, suppose this ditch is not dug. What has become of the revenue that came in from the taxation? Where are the abundant crops the result of irriga tion.' j.ne gentleman irom Payne one day wishes to exempt everything- "from taxa tion; the next ho wishes to tax everything. Where does he stand? Why will ho not bo more specific? Why will ho notshow a reason why the canals should bo taxed? I am in favor of striking out section 4, If it meets the approval of the house, let it come under the general law. The gentle man from Payne has stated that he in tends going into this business. I would adviso him not to act hastily in this mat ter. He will do well to count the cost, or he will find his exchequer depleted, and himself a sadder and wiser man. Mr. Clark Do men through whose land the canal runs pay taxes upon tho land used for the canal? Mr. Jones Certainly they do; and do not object, as they consider themselves moro than compensated. You would have this land pay double taxes. tha railroad bed and the railroad besides? Mr. Jones Yes: fortherailroodpsTs alL Tho man through whose land the railroad runs receives no benefit therefrom.

There seems to be hope, therefore, that tho disagreeable controversv betwrvn Stanley and his recent subordinates will at last be brought before a competent tribunal for settlement.

Tn tho achievement of excellence breadth must be combined with dep li, tho power to concoivo with grasp of detail. Tho larger tuo undertaking tho more precise must be this comprehension of detail that t cry part may fit its purpose. In no in stance does this stand out moro clearly than in the conduct of a great railroad.

They study the products of tho mines, the fields nnd tho forests, the causes that affect tho ebb nnd fiow of travel, and every detail of construction, maintenance, operation of the finances nnd accounts is uatch. d with equal vigilance.

The authorities are anx ious to turn this largo sum over to the I was walkingdown Forty-seventh street tho other day, attentively regarding Jay Gould's new parlor curtains, when the door of a house very near his opened, and a fine looking, middle aged gentleman stepped out, walked deliberately out to the edge of the brown stone steps and fell headlong into the street. An instant later a colored man rnshed out of the house, ran down the steps und lifted the fallen one. Baying as he did so: "You should not venture out alone, sir. iTou know you have fallen so many times." Now this was more remarkable than the fact that Jay Gould had new window cur tains, so I at once transferred my atten tion. Was he an invalid? Surely not, with such a color and such a physique. Ah, I had it. He was a victim of the dis ease called locomotor ataxia, so named, a flippant medical student once said, "be-, cause when it attacks you, you can't loco mote." But wheu the gentleman began to ascend the steps he walked with a step that was perfectly firm and steady, though i very deliberate. I was wrong again, for people afflicted I with tho above mentioned disease have a l wobbly, uncertain gait that is painful. By 1 this time the object of my attention had 1 entered the house, the door was closed, and as there was nothing particularly commu nicative about tiie closed front of u stono house J was not likely to have my curiosi ty satisfied. A I.CMAI.RABLK AFFLICTION. But fortune favors even the uhiquitons news gatherer sometimes. As I stood wait ing I knew not for what a carriage drove up, a doctor's carriage, and from it stepped the eminent physician Dr. Davis, a man skilled above his fellows in tho treatment of nervous diseases. The next day, during the doctor's first office hour, I called upon him. The learned man was very non-commit- j tal until I explained to him that I had at j ono time been a student of medicine, and was therefore entitled to know whatever he could tell me that would ho of benefit. Thus reassured Dr. Davis proceeded to explain the nature of his patient's strange malady. I "It is a case of great interest," said he, i "to every man in the profession who knows I anything of it. There is not another case on record that is tho least like it. The dis ease of this gentleman, whom I will call Mr. Andrews, is an affection of the nervous i system resulting from injuries received j years ago in n railway accident. It is of a 1 nature that has no parallel in medical his i torj. I "Those nerves which telegraph to tho brain the sensations of touch, taste, smell, hearing and sight are so deranged that tho I transmission of sense is not, us in a healthy person, instantaneous. As nearly as wo can calculate five seconds elapse beforeMr. Andrews is conscious of any sensation, and j five seconds moro before ho can muko any response. "Iho medical man is baffled in this caso for the reason that this affliction manifests i itself only in those movements of the body that requiro conscious direction from the 1 brain. Actions which are termed involun tary, such as winking or gupiug, are per formed the same as by a well person, and that makes it a question whether it is tho nerves or certain portions of tho brain that are affected, HE ENJOYS EXCELLENT HEALTH. 1 "Mr. Andrews is in perfect physical con dition. He eats heartily, sleeps well, and has an unimpaired digestion. Nor is ho I fully alive to tho terriblo possibilities of his position. "Think of going through lifo ten seconds ahead of yourselfl There is scarcely any calculating tho things which might hup pen." Mr. Andrews is a rich man fortunately, and therefore can keep au attendant con stantly with him, so that as yet he has ex perienced no serious injur-. Ho never knows when he is approaching an obstacle or a danger. As in the case of his falling down the stens when his helatpd hfirlif. j ceives him just so it is when a cab or a car approaches him. He neither hears nor sees them until five seconds after any ono else would, and it is another fivo seconds before he can guide his movements hv j mentis of thought and get away. V hen ho is walking tho action becomes mechanical, but ho is constantly aheau of where he seems to be, and in order to find out exactly where ho is ho has to stop and catch up with himself. When he converses with those about him it is a ery peculiar fact that when a ques tion is put to him it is ten seconds before ho responds. Now this might bo very em barrassing. Slinnosp. on too. nf l.r nnnrl i mnn -wno i to take from him his watch; before ho I would have the power of preventing him or before he could give any alarm the thief might be far and away, indeed ho might bo away before the man could know that ho had been robbed. A friend salutes him on tho street, but ho does not see tho saluta tion until it is too late to respond, and of course the friend thinks ho has been snubbed. When Air. Andrews first recovered from his accident he used to attend, tiie' theatre. His taste was for comio-opera janduuelo drama. But he doe3 not go any more. Tho peculiar manifestations of his malady caused much embarrassment to his frientis" who accompauied him. Appreciation of jokes and ludicrous situations came to him just ten second after everybody else. His hearty laugh would not be noticed in n general chorus. But his explosive ha has when the audience was quiet were start ling. New York Press. NEXT 60 DAYS We have too many goods on hand, this stock must "be sold.

In his recently published "Trials of a Country Parson" Dr. JcssJip t-ells some amusing anecdotes picked up in Arcady. As thus: It is very shocking to a sensitive person to hear the way in which the old people speak, of their dead wives or hus bands exactly as if they'd been horses or dogs. They are always proud of having been married more than once, "You didn't think, mK, as I'd had five wives, now, did yon' All, 1 have, though leastways 1 buried five on 'em in the churchyard, that I d:d and tree on "era bewties!" On another occasion I playfully suggest- ed: "Don't you mix up your husbands now nnd then, Mr. Page, when jou talk I about them" "Well, to tell yoo the truth, sir, I really du! But my third hus band, he was a man! I don't mix him up. j He got killed fighting you've heerd tell o' that, I make no doubt? The others wara't nothing to him.

The best way to mount a piece of tapes try is to stretch it, not too tightly, on a piece of well seasoned wood, and than keep it in a light, airy, though not draurhtv situation, where the sun can never shine airectly upon the texture. Of course when the work in question is small enough to admit of it the simplest and far most ad vantageous way to preserve tapestry In tact, and at the same time bring ont its full beauty and rarity. Is to treat it as if it were a picture and place it in a dark oak frame under glass. I remember once seeing a dining room paneled in this manner with loom pictures against a dark green background. The effect was most unique and beautiful, and well repaid the trouble taken by the owner, a noted French dilettante and connoisseur. Marie Adelaide Belloc In Jennesa-iUUer Magazine.

It seems no risk to assert that in onr stntc there are not ten men born within the commonwealth, of New England par ents, who cannot read and write. I have heard it .stij;ycsted that tho curious bins above the doorwajs of taverns and shops, which were so common 'J00 years ago, were really aids to those who were unable to read. The "Green Dragon," the "Blue Lion," the "White Horse" and the "Bunch of Grapes" over the doors of tho colonial inngof Husytoii rendered them easily identi fied, whoras 11 .unboard would have been unintelligible to t mass of the people. In like manner shopkeepers were wont to mark their doo"- ay-, doubtless for a similar reason. A ivlic of this custom is seen occasionally even today, conspicuous examples being a gilded ostrich above a milliner's door, a kid above a plover's and a spinning wheel above the door of a linen shop. But the real significance of these signs has passed away, atitl the signs them selves have disappeared b.-ore the ad vances of the school master. Boston Ad vei tisor. A Profoionul Opinion. Professor Dana, of Yale, frequently gives illustrations of wit in the recitation room. It i-. customary for the students to bring uilh tht m from time to time such bits of stone as lhey have chanced across, and to sulnnit them to him for examination and explanation. "This is a pieh of shyenite, and that a very f?ne sptshimen of mica shist," he would customarily explain, with an accent peculiarly his own. "And what is this, professor?" ques tioned an eager youth one day, as he placed before him a small red spes .men that was strikingly suggestive of a bit of brick. The professor held it up to the light and scru tinized it with the closest attention. Then his brow contracted, and he said slowly and ponderously, "This, sir, is a rare piesh of impudence," New York Herald. In ait Old Hook Simp. A rummaging tour fa an old book shop the other d showed that the picture cem etery itself might have to move. Down nndor a pile of old and torn books and pamphk ts lay a still more torn album fill ed with pictures tken some ten years ago in the region of the Bowery. Fortune had evidently rvi unpropitions, and the loved ones' pi-tares had gone at auction with the clock, the tove and bedstad. Who could it be that would thus buy corpses that he coukl not even dissect It might havo brought llvo cents at the sale. The okl book man could not now- get rid of it as a gift, so it lies in the corner, while some one talks of "little Patsy that had the measleo and died three years ago come Easter." New York Tribune. Hp "Wanted a Gronp. A colored man came into the studio of one of Chkmgo's prominent artists a few days ago and asked the price of portraits. The artist said: "But or full length" 1 thinks, sah, I prefers a group," said the negro. "How many in the group?" said the artist. 'Oh, jes' a group of myself." was the re ply. The artist's talent or price for "group" of one did not succeed in getting the order. w 1,1 I Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoria.

They have a much better home life than the Tories, and they are very fond of their children. They have curious customs as to their oabies, and the mother gives a re ception to her friends when the bahy is three days old, to show them the new ar rival. When the baby is eight days old it is baptized and is washed all over with warm water every day before this. The baby is laid on the doorstep of the church while its godfather partakes of the sacra ment and is confessed in order that he may be purer when he stands up with the baby. The godfather kneels while he holds the baby and the priest aaks a lot of questions of the baby, which the godfather, as its mouthpiece, is to answer. He puts the old man through a catechism longer than that of the Presbyterian church, and the god father,answenng for the child, replies to the questious. After this there is a long pray er. Then the baby has its clothes taken off and the priest asks the eight-day-old liaby, "What dost thou demand?" Tho godfather, answering for thecniid, replies, "I demand to be baptized," and the priest gets in an other question at the joung infant, asking, "Dost thou truly demand it?" To this the godfather replies, again speaking for the baby, "I demand with faith to be baptized and purged from sin, to be released from the demons and to servt. God." Hereupon tho priest says, "Be it unto thee according to thy faith." The priest then takes the baby and dips it into the water, and after a long ceremony declares that it is a child of Christ. Ho then dresses the child, after blessing its garments, and puts a taper of red and green wax into its hand, after which it kisses tho altar and the cross and th ceremony is over. During this time tho priest br.s bound on the head of the baby a little gold cross, and this cross stays on for eight days after the bap tism. Frank G. Carpenter in National Tribune. E-:cIteil the Clerjrynian's Ire. In boarding a train on tho Brooklyn bridge the other da j-a meek looking clergy man accidentally jostled a 800 pound man. The stout man seated himself, and talked rapidly and vehemently to a friend in a tone which was unintelligible to the other passengers all except one, the clergyman. The heavy weight discoursed in Danish, and dressed up the man who had bumped him to the queen's taste. The latter was an attentive listener. At. the Brooklyn station the man of much avoirdupois, who seemed to havo coaxed the flame of his ire into a generous blaze, watched his opportunity nnd gave the innocent cause of his wrath a violent push, which tent him against a post on the platform with force enough to sprain his clerical necktie and destroy his choleric equilibrium. The minister, calling upon the police to ;ud him, rushed after his as failant, and got in a "nice body blow" just as an officer arrived and put a check to hostilities. At the polico station both men were reprimanded and released. Brook lyn Eagle. j Keeping Asphalted Streets Clean. Thcro is n distinct prospect that before the present generation passes from the scene of action, there will be several miles of asphalt pavement" in Detroit. In the light of this fact, and the further one that tho people of Cass avenue aro already pro testing against the dust which is driven into their houses by the operation of the street sweepers upon a dry surface, it may not be amiss to call attention to the dovico very generally adopted in certain eastern cities, of employing men at the expense of the abutting property owners, who shall keep constantly at work with hand brooms and other tools and thus prevent the ac cumulation of the filth which the machines pulverize and drive into every crevice. One man can easily keep two or three blocks clean, and the expense for the year is a mere trifle. Detroit Free Press. The Better Side. The other night a man sat in an open window in a house on Croghan street, and from the knob of the door fluttered tho in signia of death of a child's death. Along came four or five roysterers, singing and shouting, and as they caught sight of the man in the window they came to a haltr and one of them began: "Say, old man, come" "Hushl" interrupted one of his com panions. "Don't you bee that his baby is dead." "Beg pardon, excuse us," said two or three in cnorus, and the gang tip-toed away and disappeared around the corner. Tho presence of death had brought out tho better side. Detroit Free Press. Cnro of a Horse. Talk to your horse, and remember that talk is understood more than we know.

Great lageBiUty Dbpbiyed lit th BtmA Beos The CvenuBst'i Iattlve Ax Pretty Sbarp, Too SoaaeFaTcrlta SCctJa ods of Ssauscliaf;. In spito of tho vigilance of customs "pectors and the almost perfect working of tho secret service, smuggling is continually carried on in some degree, and for ingenui ty in trays that ars dark and tricks not always vain the smuggler is an adept. Steamers from South America and th West Indies and tramp steamers bring ia rigars, lit.v'ors and a great variety of mer chandise not on the vessel's manifest, which finally gets on the market without paying tribute to tbo government, and probably never a great transatlantic liner arrived al this port that did not bring some goods which were smuggled through. The cases of smuggled English clothing on a Liver pool s't earner, when the fact was brought to light that for years London tailors had been evading American duties, will givo some idea of what may still bo going on undetected. The ingenuity of tho smuggler is great. Some years ago, when the barge offlec tru used as a landing place for cabin passen gers, a custom houws officer ono day step ped up to a respectable appearing, well dressed woman, who with her husband was standing waiting to have her luggage examined, and requested her presence in the searching room. She carried a small traveling bag in her hand, and ho mado her bring that along too. She was of course indignant aud her husband uttered all borts of threats against the officer for what he denounced as "this outrage." CIGARS IN A DEAD HORSE. But the officer calmly opened the bag nnd took therefrom a soap box. and from the soap box a cake of roap. The cake of ponp hnd been used, and looked like any other innocent oiece of toilet soap. But when the ouicer cut it in two with his kuifo a nest of sparkling diamonds of great beauty and value was disclosed in its in terior. How the customs o3lcer knew that woman, that traving bag and that cake of soap is a mBtery, but ono no doubt sus ceptible of an easy solution if all the facta In tho case were known. Tho secret service has its agents every where, nnd the great trouble with women smuggler 1st hat tbey will talk, especially when they have hit upon home particularly ingenous plan for smuggling. Sometimes portly women will enter the seizure room to merge therefrom greatly cmaniated, but leaving behind largo quantities of valuable lace. Tho smokestacks of steamers from the West Indi s have been known on several occasions to yield up many hundred dol lars' worth of cigars. In fact, the smoke stack is a favorite place for hidini; smug gled goods. This sort of smuggling is done by the crew, who work under tbo double disadvantage as u rule of having to evade tho watchful eyes of both the officers of the Eteuner and the customs officers. Once a dead '-or?o floated up on tha beach at Conoy Island. When peoplewent to remove tho carcass they found that tho Intestines had been removed and the inte rior of tho dead animal filled with Havana cigars. The carcass and its caso had prob ably been thrown overboard from some jtteitmer, and the confederate who were to have towed the argosy ashore at some se cluded place had nised connection. Throwing things overboard when the ves sel arrives at night to be picked up by boat from shore is a common practice. IN NEW YORK HARBOR. The writer was once becalmed at night in a catboat in Gravcsend bay. The night was intensely dark, so that the outlines of the hull of a big steamer whoso lights gleamed through the blackness from wbcro she was anchored off toward Zortou's point could ucarceiy be sxrn. Suddenly a rowboat appeared alongside the catboat, and a robtut young man placed ou hand on tho rail and gaaed ca-itinly up at tho faces of tho occupants of the catboat, which were viable by the light of tho lan tern in tho cockpit. The people in tho catboat were too as tonished to iwr anything, and apparently tho man in the boat had nothing to say. for after a moment' "sizing upMhesborea off, and disappeared as noiselessly as he came in the direction of the steamer. IIii oars were so completely muffled that the made not the faintest sound in tho tovr locks, and he was so rxpert a rower that the blades made not the slightest spbwh In the water. The owner of the catboat mere ly shrugged bis shoulders and said. "Ob, it's only ono of those shore fellows going off to a steamer fter goods," Altogether it was a weird and &bostlikc affair, and navored of old time rmugf-Hng and the romance thereof. Sometimes a swift calling vessel is used, which, ap proaching thu crn-t, lays off and on until night, aud then putting into some obtonn harbor, tands a portion of iU cargo and nails away to aome nearby port to enter and discharge the goods on iUt manifest The yacht Halcyon, wrecked on the Jap. ane.se coast, was at one time a celebrated smuggler on the Paciflc coast. Onco m schooner came sailing up JJarraganscU bay, and at niht pnt into a little bnrbor on the Warwick ahore, where she unloaded a large car;o The goods were stored in the barn of a farmer nearby.

Tho only way to bust tho People's party .in Kansas is to dump tho residue of the Democratic party into it, which will mako the Allianco so sick that it will vomit up tho 41,000 Republicans whom it gorged during the summer.

For almost a whole week now it will bo a week tomorrow mornings we have been unable to sleep in trying to realize what George "W: Martin s leehng3 must bo as he continually contemplates the results of tho rebellion wherein old In flation Davis steps into tho shoes of the "best man God ever made."' Of course Phillips went down with the rest of the gang, but the defeat of Phillips can prove no adequate compensation for the election of a crank fit, for years, only for tho cheapest dregs of George Martin's supreme contempt and scorn. OUT UPON IT. Tho biggest hog on earth is said tolivo in Sumttr county, Georgia, It tips the bean at 1,400 pounds. Probably some relative of that corn-fed freak who puts the Domocratio majority in tho next congress at one hundred and thirty-five. The contemptible means of any re spectable paper pandering to the igno rant rot that tho Alliance candidates for slate ofllces are being counted out, passes all understanding. By whom or how is not explained. Any man with sense enough to go to the polls and deposit his ballot ought to know that such a thing would bo impossible in Kansas. There was no chance for such a thing at tho polls by tho judges and clerks; no chance for such a thing by the state board of canvassers. The central committees have nothing to do with the matter. They never see tho ballots nor tho re turns until they are officially announced. It is a shame and an outrago for any re spectable paper to bolster up the idea of such an impossibility. If Mr. Willi ts had been elected by but one single ma jority three hundered thousand voters in Kansas would domand that he be sworn in, and he would be. Noble Prentis who has just returned from an extended visit east, much of the time being spent in tho manufacturing districts of Massachusetts and Connecti cut, is quoted as saying that "the exulta tion among the laboring classes over the passage of the McKinley bill was really unbounded." If that is so they have a mighty poor way of manifesting it, else they are largely in the minority. I SUNFLOWER SHIMMER. An experimental genius in New Jer sey placed a lot of quail eggs under a so ber and steady old hen, and the result was a very giddy brood of game. They are said to keep tho foster mother in no end of trouble, "for the disposition to wander and whistle suddenly is in them, and there is evidence in their pensive look that they suspect a fraud or a mis take has been perpetrated somewhere by somebody." The meat packers'of Chicago announce an advance of one-fourth cent a pound on Ginned meats, in consequence of the tariff on tin. Fortunately that will not affect consumera in this country to any considerable extent, as only a compar atively small portion of tliat class of goods prepared in this country are con sumed here, they being intended for ex port, mainly. However, higher prices mean better times, because such condi tion necessarily brings nlore money into active circulation. PATENTS GRANTED THE RESULT IN WISCONSIN. Morrill, Anderson and Turner aro now laughing in their sleeves to thiuk how they escaped the turccu. Atchison Cham pion. You forgot Judgo Peters; but perhaps it was because it was so long ago that judge declined, with thanks. Tho Leavenworth Times' great Pro hibition editor now says that tho Repub lican party of Kansas must reorganize on the National Republican platform by lopping off prohibition and other im practical issues. Oh yes, Dan; but they wont until they aro whipped into it. Of all tho hiembcrs elected to tho lower house of tho coming legislature but four were members of the last lody. Jamas IL Reeder was reelected by a majority of 2, A. II. Hiberby a majority of 8, "NV. M. Rico by a majority of 20, and Georgo L. Douglas of this city by a majority of 250. Tho Topoka Democrat is just now devoting itself to coquetting with the Alliance. "Wonder if there isn't a bit of method in its mashing? Tho Alliance will control the next legislature, that is they claim thoy will: the legislature will olect a state printer: the Democrat, is in tho business. The most sweeping reverse the Repub licans met with last week occurred in Wisconsin. Tho issue in that state was local and pertained to tho operation of what is known there as the Benuet law. That law providts that all children of school age in the st to must attend a public school, where the English lan guage exclusively is taught, for three months each year. There is a large for eign element in the state, very many of whom object to this compulsory feature of the school law. and tho Catholic and Lutheran churches also opposed it on tho same ground and for the further reason that they oppose tho policy of the state controlling tho education of the children, taking the ground that this important duty should bo performed by the parent and the church. These opposing elements united with the Democrats who were too glad of their assistance, aud tho result was the almost clean sweep of the state, the Republicans saving but one congress man out of wreck of the party's hitherto magnificent proportions. Tho defeat in that state is only tempor ary, however. The Republicans had the right on their side in the issues joined, and that must and will prevail, ulti mately. The Bennet law will probably be repealed or materially modified by fhe next legislature.composed as it is largely of opponents to that measure, but it is not a dead issue by any means and will prevail at no distant day in tho future.

Your predictions have come to pass, lliere was rebellion in tho air and it made itself felt on Tuesday last. "When a great manufacturing state like Massa chusetts repudiates tho McKinley bill as being an evil, what then is there to commend it to an agricultural state like Kansas? The people of Kansas showed their good sense Tuesday last, Yours truly, T. H.' BLAINE OR PLUMB OR BOTH. The following letter, from a promi nent professional man whose name is not known in political circles, had "per sonal.and private" written on its face, but we give it a place, withholding the name of tho writer: "Wichita, Kxs., Oct. 8, 1890.

The poor man can never be content while it takes 125 or 150 to pay his debt on a loan of .$100. If he sees relief, or now thinks he does, in another place, he'll break through party lines though cor ralled by a barbed wire fence ten strands high. Money is king. In my humble opinion you have been right all the time on the tarilF. When Plumb made his first break, I wrote h'm saying: "You have taken a great risk as to your party, but, in rav humble judgment you are all right, anil the right mubt wiu." Last Tuesday told the story. I want to see Plumb on the ticket in '92; second if Blaine can bo first; but, if not, then Plumb first, aud soma other fellow second. Let Kansas boom Plumb. No other man keeps his ear closer to the ground to catch the tread of the mil lionsthe people. "Coming events cast their bhadows before;' and happy he who can see the shadow and forecast the inevitable in the mar h of events. Respectfully." THE WORST DISASTER OF ALL. The Republican party of Kansas is ior te a pretty formidablo party but when it conies to dividing it up into Prohibition Republicans, Resubmission-Republicans. Alliance-Republicans, and state house-Ring-McBrayer-Straight Republicans, you can barely elect tho last named ele ment by about six thousand majority. The Republican state central committee has decided to have- permanent headquart ers in Topekn and to commence ut once to organize for the campaign of IStW. Topeka Capital. What is wanted more is vcsigmitio and a reorganization, hut tho People's party lacked about five thousand votes of onvincing that Topeka crowd of the truth of what we say. Tho scorning anomalous condition in Ohio where tho Republicans polled a clear majoritv of about 15,000 in the state, yet electing fourteen congressmen out of twenty-one, is not 60 queor when tho tortuous gorrymandor of tho con gressional districts is brought to mind. When it comes to political trickery aud audacious scheming tho Democrats tnko the rag. The trouble with Pennsylvania is easily diagnosticated. It is n bad cmo o"f Matthew Stanley Quhv, and thetooner tho Republican party ."-ticks a pin there, the better. Topekn Capital. Why go all tho way down to Penn sylvania to find a man wlw proved a load to tho Republican rty. Tho Quays knocked seventy-six thousand Re publican votes out in Kansas, but they don't spoil thoir names with a Q. Connecticut is the only state that maintains such ultra democratic views in its laws ns to require an absolute ma jority of all tho votes cast to elect a gov ernor. Tho auomaly that this presents is in tho fact that while the law prevents a plurality candidate from receiving the office, tho legislature proceeds under the law in suoh cas-o to choose and install a minority candidate, if not one that was in tho contest of the election. This is illustrated by the recnt election aud present situation. Morris received about 1,000 more votes than his principal com petitor for the governorship, twenty three less than a majority of all. The legislature, therefore, will elect tho gov ernor, and tho Republicans having a ma jority of that body will most likely choose" 3Iorwin, the party's candidate before tho people. People will l)e glad to learn that tho world is in such a splendid condition. Sinners are so scarce to work upon in Texas that Rev. W. A. Jarrell, of Dallas, aud Rev. Mr. Richardson, of Grayson. aro working upon each other, to the de light of big congregations. "When they have finished,'' observes a local paper at Dallas, "the world will still be in doubt as to whether salvation depends upon 'a sprinkling pot or ablution of tho body entire but the people will be well enter tained and tho controversialists feeling as good as men can who are as mad as blazes at each other."' And this sug gests the query of how much better arc exhibitions of this sort as elevating and purifying agencies in tho moral world than is the prize ring in tho physical? Smokeless iovdor lias ono serious drawback. In the clear atmosphere in the battlefield all bright accoutrements are seen at a great distance, aud thus be tray the positions of the various bodies of troops. In order to meet this objection the French minister of war has decided to submit a proposal to have the helmets of tho dragoons, and the scabbards of the officers and soldiers bronzed for tho pur pose of dulling their brightness. France might help things a good deal if sho would put her regiments in gray clothes. It is the very hot color for the battle field as wo learned in our last war. An inventive genius up in Milwaukee is working on a new invention which may ultimately revolutionize tho present system of carrying mails between differ ent cities. It is intended to bo an elec trical mail carrier, and works on the same principal as the over-head electric street car system, only that the wires in tended to carry the mails will be enclosed in pipes. It is expected that tho mail carriage will travel sixty miles an hour. This device, if it proves a practical suc cess, will supercede the fast mail trains, for tho transmission of important mail matter. Mr. Blaine wants to bestir himself in his South American reciprocity en deavor. Peru has imposed an import tax of 5 cents a pound on foreign lard. As most of the lard imported into that country goes from this, the act of placing a duty on it is interpreted as one of retaliation, on account of the duties levied by our congress upon imports from there. When the figures are all in, it will be found that the Democratic vote of last Tuesday, in spite of the Democratic vic tories, was much smaller than the Demo cratic vote of two years ago. The Repub licans did more fishing than the Demo crats that- all. Globe-Democrat. There is a crumb of comfort in this for the Republicans, but it is so smell that it would be sjHirned were tho different. From tho Leavenworth Times. The most disastrous defeat is in Wis consin. And it is not wholly a Republi can defeat. Thousands of" Democrats voted the Republican ticket to save tho public schools. But there is such a large element in that btate in whoso minds there had unfortunately been created an unreasonable prejudice" against the Ben net law, that many thousands of Repub licans were induced to vote tho Demo cratic ticket. The theory of tho Benuet law is all right. It is American and ought to prevail everywhere. It is that tho English language ought to bo taught in all schools in America. It is prepos terous to attempt to ducate children and youth for American citizenship and yet let them grow up, as in many instances m Wisconsin, without a knowledge of the language of their own country. Im agine such a condition of things in France, Germany, Italy, or any other nation. It would not be tolerated. The stud of all languages is good, but every person ought to be familiar with the language of the country where ho has citizenship, in whoso marts he has busi ness, in whoso courts ho seeks justice, and under whose legis he claims protec tion of life, liberty, property, and in tho pursuit of happiness. This time last year Sol Miller was revel ling in the grip. Everybody but Nellie Ely has claimed part of the credit. The petard didn't hoist this time, but it came very near it. This is no improvement on the old-fashioned Kansas cyclone. The greatest feud Kansas ever had was pie. This Is official. The Republican party of Kansas ought to repudiate the drouth. Jerry Simpson cast his firat vote at the second election of Abraham Lincoln. Wilson county gave Governor Hum phrey 55S plurality aud Johnny Gilmore. The colored silk handkerchief is going to have a brilliant career in the next Kansas legislature. People in Kansas are beginning to real ize that Preston B. Piumb's name is "Bonaparte." Noble Prentis is back from New Eng land with a high protection chuckle under his waistcoat. John Otis will notchange much by going to congress. He will probably keep a "diary" there. It would be remarkable if Bill Rico should turn out the son of a senator in spite of himself. Tho Salina Republican is doing some thing worse than eating "crow." It is fighting Plumb. Senator Ingalls will not be a candidate for re-election unless he sees a reasonable certainty of success. The office of the Medicine Lodge mar shal is empty still, it is rather filled with a brilliant precedent. The Alliance's candidate for the United States senate seems to be "the man who failed to get something else." It will be expected of the People's party candidate for senate that he will have the decalogue and the golden rule by heart. It is to bo hoped that it will not be left for the Topeka Democrat to mention Col. Tomlinson as a successor to Ingalls. There aro some people who confidently believo that this time next year, the Al liance will be legislating the price of tur keys. The Republicans of Kansas have proven that there is only one thing they can take more gracefully than an 82,000 majority defeat. The "third time was the charm" with John Davis, the congressman elect of the Fifth district. He had run for congress twice before. Milkman Otis' mother and father, grandmother and grandfather, their moth er and father and back for several genera tioners were all dairy farmers. One of the People's party organs claim that Jerry Simpson Is a "la la." Under the same orthography It would probably call Jim Hallowell a "ta ta John Andersen is reported to lmve made the best speech of his life nt Manhattan the night before election. Ho nad prob ably heard how it was going. Senator Ingalls held a white rose in his hand while making one of his speeches be fore election. If he should make any ad dresses between now and next January, he will be careful to appear with a cauliflower. It is now officially stated here that it was decided some time ago by the cabi net that no extra session of congress should be called this month. Mr. Harrison it ia said, gave in with bad grace, and only when convinced that an extra session would be extremely unpopular both with the mem bers of congress and with tho people. Mr. Dunnell will have to revise his congressional apportionment bill. It was based on a population of 04,000,000. Whatever is done it is certain to result in a big row in congress. The Repub licans will, of course, want to fix it so as to gain all of the advantage possible in the Fifty-third congress and in tho elec toral college, and some of them want the bill to provide for a specia. election to elect the additional representatives it will give, in time to take their seats in the Fifty-second congress. It is not very probable, though of course possible that the bill will go quite as far as that. OKLAHOMA. OUTLINES. I The Century Magazine in 189 1.

ALL MUST GO. From the Leavenworth Tltnc. Tho election of Tuesday last in Kansas shows tiio strength of the parties about as follows: The Republican party 103,000 The People's party 93,000 The Democratic part v G0,0O) The Prohibition party.,....:" 00,000 The lk'submisioa party 1 00,000 The result shows 40,000 desertions from the Democratic party and oj,C00 de sertions from the Republican party. Something is wrong. "What is it? It'is plain tho Democratic party can't run on whisky alone. Free trade" ha3 killed it Tho result shows that the Republicans can't win with shvsters and hypocrites for leaders and candidates. Tho futuro of Kansas, tho next two years, will show the Allianco or People's party one of the strong parties in the state, and tiie present signs indicate that the only power which can, if it will, organize into prominence forming practically n new party upon a national Republican plat form, ignoring all other issues, particu larly prohibition. If Republicans fail to do this, the year 1S92 will find the Peo ple's potty sweeping the state like a tornado. The present leaders of the Republican party must bo relegated to the rear. There must be no more truckling. The slippery fellows, tho hypocrites and boodlers must go the wall. The H'3.and tho Billies must no longer bo our candi dates for state ofllces; must no longer manage our political campaigns. Even the littlo Billies in the town and county politics must go or the Republican party will no longer be a factor in the future politics of Kansas. Black Walnut. From the New York Ledg-r. Black walnut is rapidly becoming ex hausted and thero seems to be nothincr in this country to take its place. No other tree is so valuable. It grows rap idly, will thrive in any 6oil and is very hardy, requiring very "little care, because no animal and but one insect leeds upon iL It has a value but little known, which is that th 'European or "French walnut." t as it is called, grows timuy on it ami is easilv grafted. It can, in that way. be made to vield a fortune if cultivated on Washington, Not. 8, 1890. To the Editor of tho Eaale. Whew? What a land slide it was. You can hear nothing else but election talk hero just now. The Democrats aro naturally loud in their demonstrations of joy, for to tell the truth they are even more astonished nt the result than aro the Republicans. They expected to win the house by a small majority, but their most sanguine rainbow chaser had no idea of the tidal wave that went their way. Of course, thero are now plenty of Democrats who with "a straight face will tell you that they expected the result to be just what it was, but they didn't aL the same. The Republicans attempt to mako the best of a bad thing by talk ing of "oft year," "usual result," "al ways to be expected," etc., but they can not hido tho effect of their fright you can see it in their faces. The best in formed among them expected to lose the house by a small majority, but the man who would have told them Mouday night what the result would really be would have been considered by them a fit sub ject for the insane asylum. What makes the Republicans take their severe drubbing so much to heart is that they themselves aro responsible for having stated early in the fight that this was a national campaign and that its result would show whether the peo plo condemned or approved of the ad ministration and the Republican major ity in congress. Now tho Democrats are guying them unmercifully and re minding them of all their foolish talk about tlifi national campaign. Thero is ono Republican who, if ap pearances indicate his feelings, is not cast down by tho result of the elections that is Secretary Blaine. I saw him this morning and lie was in tho very best of humor, and I am told that he re marked to a friend thatit was no more than he expected. Two' 'things which were potent issues in tho fight just ended tho McKinley tariff law and the Fed eral election bill both of which proved to be heavy burdens to tho Republican party, were" opposed by Mr. Blaine, and the knowledge of this is probably what makes that gentleman ko good natured in the face of the defeat of his party. The fact that his rival, Speaker Reed, strongly favored these measures has not been forgotten by Mr. Blaine. Mr. Harrison lias taken the result very much to heart, as owing to the reports of Mr. J. S. Clarkson, who was assisting the congressional committee, he had be come convinced that his party would re tain their control of the house. Mr. Clarkson went away 03 soon as the re sult was known,ostensibly for his health, but it is probable that he was very glad to get awav from the explanations he would 1 ave been asked to make. It is not now thought that Mr. Clarkson I would hrvo the tlightertshow for a cabi- j net position even 11 wmo e u;m a dozen vacancies. Victory h.is its troubles too. Already there are evidences that the tight among the Democrats for the speakership of the next house is to b long, stubborn, and bitter. At the 6tart there are half a dozen candidates. 3Ir. 31ills thinks the removal of Mr. Carlisle to the senate and the death of Messrs. Randall and Cox gives him n mortgage on the Speakership, but his claims will be hOllv disputed bv those who behove themselvrtj U-tter qualified to wield tue speakers gavel than the' Texan;among Uiem are Mr. Cnsp, of Georgia, who proved himself an able parliamentarian during the last session; Mr. McMillan, of j Tennessee, a prominent member of the ways aud means committee; 3Ir. Bjnum of Indiana, whii rhtaint-d a national rt- putation by beins censured by rote of J the Republicans of tbe house tor his "Waleedi" is the Oklahoma for poker. The prairie fire has begun Its career again. Logan is still the banner Republican county. The Chickasaw gold fields have col lapsed. Ornithologists say that the Kingfisher has a very fine bill. Next New Year's day will not see the legislature in .session. The Oklahoma City Times has moved into its new building. The church row at Norman resumes its course, next Monday. Norman Advance: Rumor has it that Texas has gone Democratic. Two hundred bales of cotton came into Purcell on one day, last week. A good many of Harvey's 2,0)0 majority have been members of an 82,000. Prairie View precinct in Beaver county, polled 21 votes, and thoy were all for Har vey. Tho most reticent member of the legis lature next to Grimmer is Dunkard Har rader. There are lots of peoplo in Oklahoma proving that they can eat ninety quails in thirty days. Minco Minstrel: With tho exception of Sundays the weather continues to be roy ally pleasant. Oue hundred and thirty-one applications for deeds to town lots wero filed in Still water the first day. Oklahoma Brown is a Republican but he is not a high protectionist or an uuti-Okla-homa City Republican. In tho next campaign in Oklahoma, the man whoso family lives away in another state will not be a candidate. The Minco Minstrel says the Wichita and Caddo reservation is" not so large as the others, but it is the best body of laud. Tho Hennessey Clipper publishes an Ok lahoma Republican rooster and a Kansas Republican rooster. They don't look any thing alike. Minco is the terminus of the Rock Island road in tho territory. That tate of case sometimes gives a town a boom that it never gets over. Gardenhire and Clover, the congress man elect from the Third Kansas district, are old neighbors. Gardenhire ought to propitiate him immediately. If every Republican didn't rejoice as much over Harvey's election as Ed. Ingle did, it was because they aro not sur rounded by a Democratic plurulity, as he is. Charlie Scott of the Iola Register, is vis iting in Oklahoma City. As Farmer Funs ton, his candidate, was the only Republi can re-elected to congress, be is not in Ok lahoma because he is "tired." Oklahoma City Times: A novel way of determining a witness creditably devel" oped at the laud olfice yesterday, estab lishing a precedent which commends it self to the serious consideration by other official bodies. A contest case for the northeast quarter, sectien 82, township 12, north, range 3 west, which corners on the military reservation, and to which Clms. F. Ahinger is a claimant, has oc cupied the attention of tho bind office for tho past ten days. In support of his claim Mr. Ashinger testifies that ho arrived in Oklahoma from Purcell, upon tho train at 2: 0 in the afternoon of April 22, 1889, and about 3' miuures thereafter ho was upon the contested tract, which is about fofa mile from tho depot. Attorney Stanley, who is attending to the interests of Miss Katie Woodruff, an other claimant, ridiculed Mr. Ashmger's statement until the latter propoed to demonstrate by a practical test, the truth fulness of his assertions, and as an extra incentive, a wager of 10 a side was made between the incredulous attorney and the plucky and determined witness, and about G o'clock last evening attorneys, witnes-ses, contestants, and court officials, together with about a hundred curious spectators, repaired to the depot, where the start was made. The sequel proves that Mr. Ah iiiKer is au experienced pedestrian. Ruii- iuue like a deer, ho accomplished the feat in three minutes and twenty seconds. Mr. Ashinger, besides being a spr.nter and a blcycINt of almost world-wide fame, is a gentleman of t lie highest social standing and business nbility. His many friends will be glad to hear of his success in this instance. Loss Hypocrisy. From the Lawrence Itocord. As to Kansas, whatever tho result, the lesson enforces itself.

One hundred of the solidmen of this city, including the mayor and other prominent officials, are to meet the Directory of the Board of Trade at their rooms on Thurs day at 4 o'clock. It is not often that the directory receives propositions of 8uch magnitude as to make them hesitate to answer, especially when there is no money asked, but one of that kind will be sub mitted to the directory and to the gentle men who will be invited to be present. Resubmission or no resubmission, it is lively the way things are beginning again to come to Wichita, Men will be asked to be present who can give a clear and succint opinion on a question of great mo ment to themselves and to the proudest city in Kansas. The outside world won't know it and if it did it couldn't help it self. What is writ is writ, and destiny is destiny, as those who have been kicking against the pricks have learned to their sorrow. Wichita does not want anything in particular just now more than she has got, but she is ready for any amount of aggregate, and aggrega tions and not particulars is her future motto. There are a place or two, away this side of St Louis, that are going to be sick over these aggregations, but Wichita will be under no moral of legal obligations to pay the doctor bills. Those who think that they know the meaning of this are assured that they don't Xobody will know until about eleven days from this date, but the ideas of the men composing the meeting Thursday afternoon together with the hearty endorsement of the board of trade, will all be submitted and may go a great ways. In the meantime the wires will be kept red hot, the only regret being that Wichita hadn't been asked for her judgment a couple of days sooner. Bring your card and present it at the door, or send some one to talk for you in whoso judgment you have implicit confidence. ROUTINE WORK AT CODNCrU THE APPOINTMENT OF COUNTY TREASURER. Mr. Roy Niederlandcr has returned homoXroman extended trip to all of tho as'tern cities He expresses himself as being exceedingly glad to get back to Wichita. Mr. M. A. Carvin, deputy county clork, leaves today for Springfield, 111., to attend tho mooting of the Grand Lodge of Modern oodmen. Ho will probably bo absent one week. Some of the boys were around paying off bets yesterday, but tho fellow that bet hats was not paying up ns usual, and he was receiving tho usual allowauco of caressing words. William A. Smith, formerly of Long Island, has removed with his fnmily to Wichita and is located on Elm strert, West Side. Mr. Smith conies hero to look after his various property interests iu this city. The revival meetings at tho Dodge ave nue Methodist Episcopal church aro re ported to be increasing iu iutorost Xum birs of seekers crowd around tho altar each evening, and many conversions aro reported. Mr. Dave Mulvano came down from To;eka yesterday looking-for tome par ing mouey due for six months or a year. He says some of his friends aro smiling, financially and otherwise, over tho result of the election. The failure of Couuty Treasurer Cart wright to file bond, and according to law, causing tho office of trersurer to b- vacaut, created considerable comment Some of the political story winders were out ex plaining the whole matter. One of them stood around wherever ho could find any one to listen, and said it had never been tho custom for a county treasurer to give bond, not only in Sedgwick count v, but no place else in Kansas, fie was quite sure this was true, for he had been in thiscoun ty ten years, held anofficesix months after ho arrived, and had wanted several since. There were stories that the lack of bond was purely a matter of neglect, .and Mr. Cartwriglit could easily have secured a bond had he not forgotten it entirely. While the story was scarcely compliment ary to Mr. Cartwriglit, it was one of the explanations of tho Democratic ring. It may be observed that Mr. Carl wright was not so forget ful of business as to attempt to han dle many hundreds of thousands of the count money without bond, as lie has been working industriously for a bond, as many Know, but, among so many unfor tunate circumstances, w:i unable to pre sent it by tho expiration of the time, and hence all the trouble. And as to tho ttatemeut that it has not been the custom to give bond iu Sedgwick county, it is be lieved, .aside from the lecor.ls, to bo so weak it cannot stand before nuyone whoso appearance is not suggestive of an insane asylum. According to County Attorney Morris, and other attorneys who have rend tho law on the question, the office of treasurer was vacant over one week ago, at the expi ration of the time for filing a bond. Tho duty of the county commissioners to ap point a treasurer was considered plain, and it was also considered a duty of the board to protect the funds of the county with an efficient treasurer, efficient in the office as treasurer and ono able to support himself with n $200,000 bond. Xo one has been heard to in sinuate that in tho event the bonrd was Democratic, and a Republican treasurer had kicked himself out of tho office that a Democratic board would have failed to appoint a Democrat However, a Republican board said to Mr. Cart wright, yesterday thnt ho was appointed county treasurer aud would be given another twenty days in which to file a bond in accordance to law aud if at the expiratiinof that time he had not pre sented a bond of course tho office would again bo vacant The board has not the richtio furnish the county with a treasurer except time of vacancy to the next general election. This is said to be tho plain reading and as a result at the next general election the people will have an opportunity to vote on a short term and long term county treas urer.

If you are a kicker and Pee the shadows of failure in everything that is propo-ed to help the town, for heaven's sake go in some secluded canyon and kick your own shadow on the claybauks and thus give the men who ara working to build up the town a chnnca One long faced, hollow eyed, whiuing, carping, chronic kicker can do more to keep away business and capital from a town than all the drouths, short crops, chinch bugs, cyclones and blizzards combined. J. H. Parsons, Esq., tho new division superintendent who takes the place of Superintendent Turner on the Sante Fe line, called last evening in company with" Fred Beutley, Eq., the road's local attor ney. Mr. Parsons comes from tho Erie road, but formerly for years lived in the we-tand is an old Iriend of President Manvil. Mr. Parsnns expresses himself as being delighted with Wichita. Ho says that it is one of the prettiest and most at tractive cities in America, not only, but that ho finds it brim lull of metropolitan life and western energy and thnt its business is astonishing in its magnitude. until he had seen tho place and got an esti mate of its life and promise, he had been nt a loss to account for the prominence Wichita had been holding in financialcen ters and in thl Associated, Pras reports. He had just finished an inspection tour of the lines which will come under his charge, and he says that assuredly there is no finer territory in the world than lies within tho lines of Wichita's commercial fiold. Mr. Parsons says ho will bo with Wichita and her business men much of his time, and he has no doubt of the most amicable and pleasant relations. A HAND-OMK l'KEs.ENT. Mr. B. H. Brown leaves this morning for Marion, O., where he expects to remain some months looking after business inter ests. He has been in the city over four years, for a time in the city engineer's de partment, and for two years with the City Railway and Electric Railway. On leav ing the office of the company yesterday the employees remembered him with a fine gold-headed cane. It bore the inscrip tion: -Prescnted to B. H. Brown, by the employees of the Electric Railway com pany.M It was a handsome present and duly appreciated by tho recipient Mr. Brown has many friends in the city who hope that tho present for many long years may be regarded as an ornament und not as a necessity. Mr. Burt Thomas, eldest on of W. A. Thomas, Esq., who has lain in a critical condition for weeks, passed the crisis on Saturday, and his doctors say that he is now in a fair way to recover. The news will prove most gratifying to the many frionds of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas, as also the many warm friends of Burt Members present Caswell, Carson, Schnitzler, Bnckridge, Coffin, Glaze, Mc Kee, Williams with Mayor Clem ent presiding. The police judge reported total amount collected in October $J,4SQ. Buckridge wanted the report referred to a committee, and an inquiry made about how much back pay is due the police force. The report was disposed of by receiving it and placing on file. Some of the city weighers in their report held back some money for pay past due. Buckridge objected to that way of doing business. The fifteenth est'mate on city building calling for Si,100, was submitted and re- ceived ordinance ordered drawn. The thirty-sixth estimate of sewer con tractors calling for $3,000 was approved and placed on file. The Fifth ward property owners on Chi cago avenue asked for no change of street railway grade change until the street could be permanently improved. The praj ers of the petitioners were granted. A statement of the It. Gross damage case was submitted by attorneys for the plaintitf asking for an appropriation of $290 to satisfy a judgment against the city. Buckridge moved the amount be placed on the appropriation ordinance, but he was informed there was no money to sat isfy the claim. An ordinance making appropriation for miscellaneous purposes was passed, amonnting to $G52. It. Rogers, city building contractor was awarded $2,100. The contract with tho Wichita Electric Light and Power company, which was referred to the committee was reported and read. The object being to have all night service in the territory of that company, and the city not to have less than forty lights, the contract price being $9 per month. Johnson inquired if the contract was a fair one, wheu the city attorney said the provisions were fair but he knew nothing about the price. Carson said the Citizens company was allowed 10 per cut on money due and the contract under discussion also allowed 10 percent. He thought this was too much. It will bo remembered that the Citizens company got what they asked and more than the competing company asked. There was some discussion about the Citizens company going beyond their ter ritory. Caswell was much concerned whether or not the Citizens company would get back into their territory. Buckeridge said the companies, when borrowing money, paid more than 10 per cent, and a little moro economy on the part of the council might enable the city to pay all bills when due, avoiding incon venience to all. Johnson had favored 10 per cent for the Citizens company, but thought it too much for the Thompson-Houston nnd moved to change the rate of interest to C per cent Tho motion prevailed but not unanimously. The contract as amended was accepted bv the council. At this moment Carson inquired nbout the city- building ordinance, but he was informed it had been passed. Tho Yankee" miller question came up ns usual and the compromise effort read, which was supported by eight, Caswell and Carson in tho negative and Coffin excused from voting. The city is held by tho contract to abide by tho appraisment The mayor appointed to look after tho city's interest E. T. Allen. Mo3bacher said it would be an imposi tion to allow Benner to sell the Wilcox jewelry at auction jus it would injure tho jewelry holiday trade. While Wilcox claimed he was only selling out his stock he personally knew Wilcox was getting in new goods. Wilcox had not been here long and should have no more rights than any one else. The matter was settled by refunding to Brenner the money paid. Glaze reported the Shrador creditors anxious to receive $300 duo them. He want d the council to proceed to get the $.i00 from theShrader bond. The city attorney said the laborers had not presented their claims until Council man Williams and Shr.ider had got tho money up to the full extent of tho cou tratt Glazo said the city had attempted to protect the laborers iu compelling- Shrader to give a bond. Tho laborers had ex pected tho city to protect them or they would not have worked tor him. Williams said no one regretted moro than himself the fact the men failed to get their pay, aud the men would have re ceived their pay had they not gone to a lawyer who tried to make the. mouey out of hiinelf: Buckeridge said the city was $50,000 be hind and ho advised tho city attorney to draw up a refundiug bond and by this means get money to pay present debts, and let the future take care of tho bond. Coffin moved if the D. Hays matter could be settled for $J?00 the city compro mise. The motion prevailed. Johnson said ns the bonds for paving street car track had not arrived. Contrac tor Mulvane was willing to take the londs for pay, ami aKo would pay half the cost of lithographing. The suggestion was accepted. The mayor said he had written a letter to Spitzer Co., and in answer got a dispatch saying $52,000 bonds were to leave Chicaco Monday or ye-.trday. Buckridge said the council should not await longer. He moved to amend the contract, saying-Spitzcr Co: had not a dollar up for fulfillment of the contract Johnson said a $3,00 check was up, but Glaze had investigated and said there was no check to prompt fulfillment of the con tract The city attorney said the city treasurer was at fault for allowing tho $3,000 check to go in on the first pnypcut Johnson said the city treasurer should be reprimanded for making a $3,000 mis take. Johnson amended to postpone action ono week; when Carson thought it would be a good scheme to wait one week and hope to get $52,000. Buckridge said the people were suffering because the bonds had not been accepted. Glaze moved to defer action until Thursday night, which prevailed. Carson moved to suspend the slop ordi nance until the month of March, allowing freedom of transportation after -4 p. m. He was informed tnat an ordinance should be drawn and tho matter deferred Johnson presented diagram of gutter bridges and moved the adoption. The roll call showed tho plans adopted. Buckridge moved to sweep Douglas and Main or order the street commissioners to clenn it up. By this time it was 10 o'clock, no heat in the council chamber, and there was a general disposition to suspend operations until Thursday night. Xaftzgar, Piatt, Parkhurst, Wichman present Balltmce and Parkhurst of the commit tnittee on furniture, reported that the Grand Rapids Furniture compauy had furnished 820 desks nt the price under which the contract had been awarded, but did not understand that they were to fur nish any more desks at that price. They recommended the purchase of 400 more desks at any average cost of $2.20 per desk. McXair submitted minority report to award the contract to the National Furni ture of Buffalo, average cost being $L95. He said it was the understanding that the company offering bids for desks were to furnish desks for the year. Ward coin cided in this opinion, while Parkhurst was of the opinion that the contract called for 800 desks and not a standing contract. McXair offered a minority report to award the contract to the National Furni ture company. Piatt said the bid of the Xalional com pany was $31 less than the Minneapolis comp:iny's bid. Xaftzgar moved the adoption of the minority report, which prevailed. Park hurst did not want to vote but finally concluded to go on record in the affirma tive. Dr. Stevenson urged the board to see to it that desks are supplied with ink wells. McXair said he had understood the Min neapolis company had not fulfilled con tract in furnishing desk up to contract. He urged the committee to see to it that the National company comply with the contract McXair moved contract for supplying desks be awarded to the National com pany, which prevailed. T. B. Brown said by way of explanation that ho had offered the bid and the com pany knew nothing about it, but accepted it. The desk3 had been furnished accord ing to contract, and it was incorrect to state anything else, and if the desks were not up to the contract tho board could re fuse to accept them. Q. F. McKinley, representing the Na tional company, said he could guarantee immediate shipment of desks but ho could not fix time they would arrive. VT. C. T.

Youth's Companion. The American Fibre company, of New York, representing $15,000.00.1 capital, pro poses distributing 50.000 bushels of Belgian ll.ixseed to western farmers. The farmers near Leon, Butler county, put $25,000 in their pockets this year by sale of their flax crops.

Now that binding twine factories are to be built in the west the Hut or tow becomes as valuable as the seed In an early lAly considerable quantities of flax was raised in this nortion of the Ar kansas valley, rtud if our farmers should go into it again there i but littljj doubt that a binding twine factory would be built nt Wichita, which would consume all the lint and take all the seed at remunerative prices.

There are few plays that keep tho audience in a continual state of merriment, from beginning to end and "A Trip to China town" is one of them, there U not a dull line in the play. The characters are all in good hands. Harry Conner, as the man with one foot in the grave, has a fund of quiet wit and humor that never tails to create a laugh. The imitation of tho cat and dog fights, the circular saw and the whistling of Mr. Harry Gilfoil were re ceived with nproarous applause. The singing and dancing by tho several "mem bers was heartily encored. In all, "A Trip to Chinatown" is deserving the best patronage, the object of the play and players is to create laughter and they cer tainly did if the appreciation of an audi ence can bo expressed by applause.

This assertion is not limited entirely to tho time during which she masticated her daily bread, Dor must be construed to mean that she closed her face successively upon a mouthful of tho newest brand of gum. In that respect sho was unlike the great mass of women and girls, and instead worked away upon the finest brand of lino cut. Tho woman had just arrived from the Ozark regions, and having no better occupation she chewed tobacco while she awaited tho de parture of the train that was to take her west. She carried about a pound of fine cut in a small hand basket, and seekinga variety was seen to take a good sized piece of plug tobacco from her pocket and bite off a com fortable "chew." The Colorado madura gentleman who looks after tho condition of the depot floors sighed ai he contem plated the woman, who evinced a dislike for cuspidores. Ho asked bor when her train departed, and handed in his resigna tion, effective at noon, when she replied that she had about concluded to remain there all day. Kansas City Star.

"deatned Men Looking for a Key to Sim ian Conversational Intercourse. Can monkeys talk? The question was mado the subject of what was probably the funniest scientific experiment ever con ducted by tho Smithsonian institution. Professor Garner, one of tho honorary curators, had charge of the test. The conversational power of monkeys lins for years past been a special hobby of Professor Garner, .and it occurred to him that it would be a good idea to tako down some of their remarks by means of the srrnnhonhone Accordingly he procured a YTiiea Baby was slot, we garo her C'astorJa, When she was a Child, she cried for Castoria, VVben she became Mia, she clung to Castoria, "When she had Children, she pare tloia Castoria. portable instrument, ana secured the co operation of the secretary of the Smithso nian and of about a dozen other men of science attached to that learned establish ment in tho carrying out of this remark able trial. It was a great sight to behold the group of eminent doctors and professors gath ered in front of tho monkey cage at the zoo in the rear of the Smithsonian build ing, seriously waiting results, whilo Pro fessor Garner ground away at the hand graphophono with its crank attachment, and tho keeper of the animals poked the monkeys up with a stick to make them talk. Ono monkev was tame and the other one i wild. Ihe wild one could not be induced by the most vigorous poking to make any remarks worth mentioning. An occasional scream of rage was all that could be elic ited from him. The tame monkey did nothing but chatter and gibber mo? unin telligibly, as it seemed to the rest of tho audience; but Professor Garner was in clined to think that this was reallv conver sation worth taking down, and to ho ground away vigorouslyat his instrument, using up half a dozen cylinders in obtain ing the records he desired. A big tin horn attached to the graphophone was inserted through the door of the monkey cage dur ing the performance. Professor Garner was very far from im agining that he would be able to under stand tins monkey talk when repeated to him by the machine. But his notion was to record the remarks of one monkey and then grind them out through the horn for the benefit of the other monkey, so as to observe what sort of responses "the other one would make. By cdmpanng the original observations and the replies he liored to get some few clews tbut would eventually enable him to translate the monkev language. Unfor tunately the wild monkey would onlv scream angrily, and tints the experiment in a measure was- a failure, tltough the professor Is convinced that he has obtained on bis cvKsders me roaliy usofn' simian observations, tt ne coum only tell what they were about. This is, in fact, the only difficulty remaining, and ho does not de spair. Washington Cor. St. Louis Globe Democrat. Aliout a riant of Olenitis. There was once and it was not very long ago a young musician who had composed an air of which he secretly entertained very high opinion, as being melodious, del icately and at the same time quaintly scored for the piano, and of course un doubtedly original. Ilavingqnite finished it he one day played it over to a mnsical friend who happened to be passing the af ternoon with him. The composer did not say, "Listen to what I have just com posed," but while seated at the piano chat ting and striking chords he slvly let his fingers glide into the melody, proposing to ask his friend how he liked it when it wa. finished. But to his delight his friend soon inter rupted with tho remark, "How vervprettt that is!" "Do yon think so?" the com poser answered, concealing the intensity of his rapture: and before he could add dep recatingh. "A little thing that came into my head the other day," the friend con tinued: "Very pretty! I've always liked that air ever since my mother sung it to mo when I was a little child:" New" York Ledger. The rirt Steam I'lre Cn-lue. At the suggest ion of the fire insurance companies of New York city, a machinist named Paul Hodge, a resident of Gotham, constructed a steam fire engine, which was first publicly tested in front of the New York city hall, in March. 1511. It was a total failure. Then tho board of directors offered a gold medal for the best method of applying steam to the propul sion of water for fire purpose.

P.atlred Gentlemen snd Genteel Dead beats All Claiming Throars A King Who Is a Walter Genuine Bine Blood in Hard Lack An American Kin;. A fall Ust of royal and imperial pretend ers would include all sorts of people in all aorta of society, fronf'tne retired and wealthy nobleman, such as the Comte da Paris, to Orelie, toe elf styled king of Araucaiua, trho is a sort of genteel d'ead teat, and Francesco. -ho titular king of Armenia, whose royal predecessor was a waiter in Milan, who Nimself pursues the ame honest, if not kingly, occupation In n restaurant at Versaillts. As a rule nearly every king nowadays cutslde of the dark est part of the Dark Continent has a snng sum to his credit in Euglish or American securities, so that in the event of being put out of a job he may have the wherewithal to keep the wolf of poerty from the door. The Comte de Paris. Bourbon pretender to the throne of Franca, and now an exile, is worth about two millions of dollars. The bulk of his fortune is in British con sols, and he also draws interest on United States bonds. Prince Jerome Napoleon, tho leading representative of tho imperial house of Bonaparte, lives in luxurious exilo at Prangins, Switzerland. Ho has a splendid residence there, and owns among his treas ures various relics of the Bonaparte fam ily, Including an Egyptian saber which the great Napoleon carried in the first of his Italian campaigns. Prince Napoleon is wealthy and ambitious. Tho Bonapartes as a rule are not in good financial circum stances, and the purse of Prince Jerome Is taxed to keep his friends and relatives from need. P.EAL PRETEXDEnS. The ex-queen of Spain, Isabella, takes life comfortably, sven luxuriously, resid ing in fashionable style in Paris, with oc casional trips to Nice and Boulogne. Italy has a host of pretenders deprived of their toy crowns by the union of tho Italian peninsula. Of these the honso of Tuscany is the most fortunate, as Austria takes cara of them, and tho Archduke Francis Salvator has recently married tho liower of the imperial family, the Arch duchess Valerie. The heir of Bomba's crown of Naples is aquiet, harmless young man, strictly devoted to religion, and with out any apparent design upon his ancestral dominions. Indeed the deposed Italian princes generally acquiesce in their fate, as hopeleas of any change. All, without ex ception, are fairly well provided for. Dom Pedro, the deposed emperor of tho Brazils, Is the most unhappy of ex-rnlcrs. The death of his wife was a terrible blow to him, and he hungers to bo permitted to go back to Brazil to die. As ho ha3 never formally renounced bis claim to tho crown he can fairly be called a pretender. Dom Pedro is far from wealthy. VThilo In cir oumstnnces that should dictate close econ omy, ho in so tender hearted that he Iipm tates to dismiss tho rctinuo that Is eating up his substance, and connequcutly ho grows poorer every day It would not be surpris'ng should the old gontlomttn be compelled to accept tho generosity of re publican Brazil. AN AMERICAN KINO. Few have heard of that other nnd rather amusing American pretender, resident m Paris, Orelie I, king of the Arnucanian Orelie is a Frenchman, a cheap lawrcr with a tasto for adventure. Hih travel brought him to Chili, In South America There he made his way by accident or de sign toaremoto nectlon of the republic, where the Araucaniau Indians havo for ages maintained their independence. He lived among these Indians and won their good will to such a degrca that tho chief tains elected him king of Araucania, and he was formally crowned with that title. As king Orelie led the Araucanlnns In forays, more or less successful, against their Chilian neighbors. Wihen he got tired of the masquerade, which Involved some peril, as tho Chilians followed the new king un sharnlv. he started for tho const, reaching It by the way of Pent, and returned to Paris, nero he still calls himself king of Araucania, and he has instituted two or three orders of nobility, which ho confers for a consid eration. The validity of these orders and his right to bestow them came up not long ago before a Paris tribunal, the point at Issue really being whether Orolio waa n king or a swindler. The court decided that, Inasmuch aa ho had been accepted as king by a community which exercised independent rights and which would probably be willing to recog nizo him again if he could got there, he was justified in using the royal prorogativo of conferring oraers of nobility Since this decision tho king's busineeh has flour ished more than ever, and his decorations go off like buckwheat cakes and muplo sirup. A KING AS WAITER. Tho king of Araucania w a good deal more tortunato tuan poor Francesco of Armenin, to whom I have before alladcd. His fnll name and title Ls Krancewo, king of Armenia, prince of Jerusalem, and he reditary guardian of the Holy Sepulcbcr. At presont his majosty is head waiter in one of the small restaurants that dot tho vicinity of Versailles. It is many years since Francesco's ancestors were driven by tho Turks from the throne of Armenia; but there can be no doubt of the antiquity and purple blood of the family. Descend ed from a bold Cruader, tboy held their kingly rank for ayes, until the renewed ag gressiveness of the Mohammedans and the decline of Latin power in the east made them fugitives. Kussia for a long time afTorded them an asylum, and gave the titular prince a pen sion. But this warf droppHl about forty years ago, and since then the royal boue of Armenia has had to tako it chance with the multitude. Tise late king wa a waiter at Milan; the pesentkingisa wait er at Versailles, tingutarly enough the restaurant is one favored by the radicals, j and the waiter of th blitwt of blood is I called on to terre wioe ad refreshments i t the ardent opponto'B of thrones and j title. Few visitor, fiowever, are aware that the sons they h-.od to the waiter are thankfully accepted kj a king, for Frances co does not parade either hi pedigree or his mUfortunes. Yon may fee here f n Pari a prince of Georgia driv.ng a cab, and one of the bet police agents in a fecioo of the rotal boue of Poland. To go throngs the roll of royal pretenders would occupy much time and space It U probably lcsgr than that of xnonarchi who hare crowns on their bead. Para Cor. Chicago Herald.

A roftftlble Explanation of Some Terrible IVrecka Moat 3Ieu Itcallze the Grave fteipouslkUIty Which Ik Upon Them A Boy's Cohtly Sleep. The most undesirable work and the least remunerative among telegraphers is that of night operator at some lonely station on a railroad. The mien of the company re quire that these men shall remain awake at their posts from 7 p. m. till 7 a. m. to report passing trains, and to receive and deliver such orders as jt may be necessary to convey to engineer and conductors to regulate tho movement of their trains. On doublo track roads their presence at their posts is of great importance- only in emer gencies, and to be hiire they are always on hand. A system of signaling is in vogue on most roads by which every operator is required to report by wire to headquarters every half hour during the night. iju me central uauroad of Aew Jersey fifteen years ago the headquarters of tho night dispatcher was at Elizabeth, the "wire signal of tho office being "K L" Every half hour in the night tho dis patcher's operator would sound on the wire tho signal "Six, six, six, K I," and each operator on the lino from Jersey City to Phillipsburg would have to sound his office signal in turn, beginning with "J C" and ending with "P." If all tho responses cametho operator at "K I" would say "O. K." and another half hour of dreary silenco would intervene. ONE SCHEME TO SLEEP. The operator at Somerville was on terms of intimate friendship with tho one at Hampton Junction, and they arranired to sound each other's signals on alternate nights, so that tho one for whom the other THE ROat Or JAWN.

In the j'ear 18.VJ I wa. employed as second mate on the ship Lady UIiks, which voy aged between the Cape of Good Hope and india ports. She was a stanch, tidy and well found craft, and ('apt. Berry was part owner I had made the trip from the capo to Bombay twice when the adventures I am about to relate had their beginning. The crew numbered twelve men, aud as is usually the case a fresh lot of men was shipped for each voyage. I alone had made the three trips without a change, and this was because Capt. Berry had taken a great liking to me. I could have gone as first mate, being perfectly competent to navi gate the ship, but had an operation per formed on one of my eyes and did not daro to risk the responsibilities of the position. At each trip we had had a new first mate, and a strange one came aboard at Bombay to go back to the cape. He was introduced to mo as Mr. Hall, but it isn't at all prob able that that was his name. He was a big, strong fellow, a thorough sailor, and I had no reason to believe that we should not get along together. The captain, too, seemed to like him, and the crew as a whole was above the average. We had been out three days before I iounu that Mr. Hall was a queer man.

The station at Somer ville was between tho north and south bound tracks, and tho operator there in- vented an ingenious devico by which ho could go to sleep and yet bo awakened whenever a train .sboiUd pass. Taking two stout cords, he ran one out over tho window and under the platform to onoof the rails of the south bound track, to which he tied it. The other was run in a similar way, and tied to the north bound track. Inside the office ho made a loop in each of the cords at a convenient height. Leaning back in his chair, with his head pillowed on a shelf, he put his right foot through one loop and his left through tho other, both feet being about on a level with his head. Then he slept, i If -A- north bound train came along, cut the ...ut3, uuu ,j,o uiuiuuntu UUWU BJII1 a jerky suddenness that would have thrown him out of tho chair had his other foot not been tied. Then a message would go to headquarters like this, "S. O. K., I.

Tho string was tied to tho rail again, another loop made, and the operator soon jvas dreaming onco more. If tho left foot tell it was a north bound train; if the right one, a south bound a glanco at tho clock showing what train was due according to tho schedule. Another operator used to fill a coal scut tle with coupling pins, old scraps of iron and tin, and fasten it high from the floor to a string tied to the rails. When a train came along tho scuttle would fall with a crash loud enough almost to bo heard at the dispatcher's headquarters. A BOT'S XKGLIQUNCE. On the Belvidere Delaware division of the Pennsylvania road, where balloon sig nals are used, such devices are not availa ble, and the operators must remain awako every moment of tho long night. Tho ''Bel. Del.," as it is called, is n singlo track road, and orders are frequent during the night to regulate tho movement of trains. It is over this division that the Pennsylvania's heavy coal traffic is brought down to Trenton and to Perth Am boy. Tho balloon signal is an oblong hollow canopy made of red flannel, and kept In shape by circular irou hoops. By a double cord attachment connecting with the operator's table It can bo lowered or raised at will. If lowered it is a danger signal that no train dares to pass. If rais ed the signal is "No orders; go ahead ou schedule time." At night a white lantern is hung under the balloon, which when lowered shows a red light through the red flannel. If raided tho white light shows, bignaling that everything is "all right." Tho orders of tho company arc that tho balloon mnst be kept down at all times, day and night, showing tho red signal, and only raised when a train approaches for which no orders have been received. Thus a terrible responsibility falls upon tho operator who has complete control of the signal. If ho receives an order for a train and forgets it, or becomes confused and raises the signal, the result is sure-to be a collision. Fortunately the operators on that division are faithful men. who evi dently never sleep on duty. Perhaps a kciisc of the responsibility keeps them awako. The operator at Washington crossing, justabove Trenton, nearly a score of years ago was a young boy, who could not resist the temptation to run about to picnics nnd on excursions during tho day. As a rule ho whs most powerfully inclined to sleop at night. Twice he did so, and was thfii dtediHrned. 1 he first occasion resulted in the wreck of a coul train, and the other in breaking a frc Ight train in two. The coal train stopped on the heavy grade, seeing the signal down, and the engineer coming in for orders found tho boy sound asleop. He woke him ro"r'jly, ami in deep auger started again for his engine. Being angry he started up too quickly, aud broke a coupling ou the tenth car, the engine and the ten cars htarting down the grade vory fast. "Off brakes'' had been whittled, and the second taction coming on crashed into the first, piling up a doxen cars. Almost tho same thing Impelled to the frvight, and the young operator was allowed to look for a day Job on noma other road. New York Tribune. vcrsation which resulted in makinc mo suspicious of him. The ship belonged to a company which owned five others. Each craft was known to be well found and well manned, and could always have its pick of men for a crew. I was more than aston ished to hear Mr. Hall declare that' the company was making too much money and becoming too much of a power in the land They were building up, he declared, at the expense of the sailor No man, firm or corporation had any moral right to so much wealth and power God had design ed that all should share alike; one man had no right to roll in wealth while another wanted for bread, and o forth, and so forth. Ho took the same line which all the well known anarchists and socialists have adopted and followed since, and I could not doubt that he was deetilv iu earnest. While the conversation led me to believe that he was holding dangerous views, there was nothing for me to worry about. As for repeating his words to the captain, the idea never entered my head. It wasu't long before Hall sought occa sion to sound me again, and I suddenlv made the discovery that he had been tam pering with the nieu. I had not seen him talking -with them, but two or three of them assumed such an independent bear ing that it was plain the seed had fallen on fruitful soil. Tho en w was luade up of rovers English, American, Dutch and Lascars Not more than two could claim the same nationality When we had been out 11 vo days, and during my watch in the evening, I overheard enough of a conver sation between three of the men to satisfy mo that Hall had deliberately gone to work to create dissatisfaction and a mutinous spirit. I had entire charge of the deck at the time, and having given some necessary order 1 watched and saw it obeyed in a manner to prove that there was something very wrong with the men at least tho men in my watch. Sailors always growl more or less, no matter how well situated, but, unless on the point of mutiny, aro prompt to oley an order. In thin case tho men lounged forward in an impudent way, each one growling below his breath, and I plainly caught the words of one of them as he said: "D n the company! Wo are just as good men as they are!" 1 did not let on that I heard it, nor did I reprove them for their want of prompt ness. Had I been sure of Mr. Hall it would have been different. If he had been talk ing to the crew as he talked to me then I had a matter on hand to be handled very carefully. I was vexed and worried, bat decided to wait. Noxt day in my watcli we had to break out a cask of beef from tho hold. Even with the captain on deck smoking his cigar the nion lagged and -xhibited their im pudence. When the tackle was let down through the foruhatch one of the men de scended to make it fast to the cask. Ho fussed around for live minutes, growling and swearing, and when I swung myself down and sharply reproved him for his want of energy he ripped out at me: "Oh, ye,V We've got to break our backs to pile up the dollars fortlie nabobs ashorel They'd sell the heart's blood of every Jack aboard for a pound note!" Acting under the regulations governing any ship, I should have knocked him down. I paswtsi his remarks without a word, feel in my heart that the whole crew must be dead ripe for mutiny 1 intended to go to the captain as soon as my watch was over, but 1 had waited too long. Just as we hauled the cask on deck Hall came out of the cabin. His appearance was a signal to the men to knock oil aud crowd aft. Hall walked over to the captain and calmly said: "Capt. Berry, do you believe that one man has a right to grow rich at the ex pense of another?" "W-what do you moan, sir?" gasped the astonished captain. "1 mean that 1 mn tired of watching, working and slaving for the profit of others. The oompnny is too rich and arro-. gant. It has its foo on too many sailors' proposed to amass all possible wealth. They had declared that all property should be held in common, they now proposed to dispossess all holders not strong enough to beat them off. "Suppose I refuse to joiu you?" I asked. "Then you will be set afloat with the captain." "I prefer that to piracy." "Very well: you have made your own choice. Men, get ready the gig, and put iu water and provisiois for a week. We don't owe them any grudge." It was folly to thiiiK. of resistance, but the captain would have his say. He abused each and every one of them in good, round English, and predicted that he would be present when each one dangled at the end of a rope. They simply laughed at him, and in the course of half an hour we wero set afloat. The gig was furnished with a sail and a puir of oars, teu irailons of wa ter, a bag of bread, a low cans of meat and fruit. Each of us nw allowed to make up a bag of clothing, but were refused a com pass, chart, or anything else which might aid us in steering a course. Both of us were robbed of our money and watches, and the captain was even dispossessed of a finger ring. The men who had struck for their "rights" had no caro for the rights of others. It was about an hour before sunset when we were cast adrift. We had made a good 500 miles to the southwest since leaving Bombay, and were at leat,t SoO from the Indian coast. As the breeze was from the east we headed to the south, while the ship, which had been hanging iu the wind for an hour, stood to the north, her crew cheering over and over again as she laid her new course. It was a long half hour before either ono of us broke the silence. One event had followed so swiftly upon the heels of another that it was hand to realize all that had occurred. I steered the boat, and the captain sat with his face in his hands for a long time. Finally ho looked up and around to exclaim: "P n such a crew! If they had mu tinied in the regular way, having some reasonable excuse, I shouldn't feel half so mean over it. To be beaten out of myahip by a hair brained fool of a mate, and that by talk alone, makes we want to kick myself." 1 Sl t aaai aaaai I.1"" Mil aeaaaa aaaw a a SmS From Yd y?raJWW3Wv VHE Sv 1 fy ii i i r y A QlrVl m Heporfrf DrW. t&asan (Professor of Analytical Chemistry, Rensselaer PolyJ tcchnic Institute, Troy, N.

At this the crew set up) a loud cheer, and rt was evident that they were with him to n man. It was no time for argument to point out inconsistencies. They had com plained of being oppressed, they now proposed to oppress others. They had com plained that the company was piling up mouey through the wear and tear of their bone and sinew; thc3 now proposed to rob by force of arms. They had complained tburt t he comnanv was too rich: ther now "We stand a good show to be picked up," I suggested. "Yes, fairly good, but as soon as the wind will allow I want to head to the south east. We are not over 200 miles from the Malabar islands." The Malabar group extends for 500 miles along the coast, and comprises such large islands as Lakadivh, Aucutta, Miuikoiand Horsburg. 1 hen begins the Maedivh group, and extends for another 500 miles, many of the islands being thirty, forty and fifty mile-j in length, with straits or channels between them. But few of them were in habited at that time, and those only by fishermen and shell hunters. In an hour the ship was lost to our view. I minded the boat for the first half of the eight, steering by the stars and the feel of the breeze, and then turned in while the captain stood watch. As the sun came up next morning the wind hauled to the west and became fresh, and while we had to look sharply after the boat, she flew ahead at a pace which gave us an extraordinary run for the day. Only ono siil was sighted, nnd that was too far away to give us anj' hope. The captain had the watch from 8 to 12, and I had been on about an hour when I heard the roar of breakers, aud knew that our run was finished. Having aroused the captain, we decided tostand off and on until daylight appeared, nnd when it came he recognized the island before us as that of Aucutta, the next largest of the Malabar group. We had made a safe landing before sunrise, nnd when we had eaten breakfast we start ed out together to investigate. We walked up the southern shore about ten miles nnd back without finding any trace nt in habitants. After dinner we headed to the north, and a tramp of six miles brought us to the limits and resulted in a strange sight at the same time. The Lady Bliss was standing down for us from the north west, and when seen was hull above water. We found .1 hiding place in the bushes and watched her us she stood on. There was deep water to within a cable's length of the beach. She shortened hail, passed the corner of the island, and after running along the north shore for a mile came to anchor in thirty feet of water, and within a stone's throw of the beach. Her anchor was hirrdty down when we saw and heard a row on board a free fight in which all seemed to be engaged. The result of this was th.it five men lowered the j'awl and pulled ashore. We heard Hall aud others call after them nnd make threats, and the replled in kind. When they had landed the3" declared their intention to remain, and each one spoke bitterly of the way Hall and his favorites had used them. They had not ieft the ship for good, but were prospecting to.-eeif the island suited them. They had brought with them the captain's revolver and the only two muskets aboard the ship. It did not take us above ten minutes to find out how the laud laj, and we then ex posed our presence and besought the men toaidusin recapturing the ship. There was but little hesitation on their part. Hall had no sooner got possession than he lorded it over the sailor in great style. It wasn't two hours before he had a mutiny on his hands and one-half the crew insisted on his heading for the inlands, that they might be put ashore. There had been half a rioy.eu tights between the two factions, and two of the men aboard were laid up. Capt. Bero promised the five men im munity from all punishment if their future behavior was satisfactory, and the seven of us then pulled aboard. A light was even then going on in the cabin between Hall and his mate, and we were on deck before they knew it. It wasn't live minutes' work tosecurc Hall aud the two men who had been most promiuent, and the others then went down on their knees aud begged for mercy. It was granted on conditions, and the ship was at onco got under way and her course laid for the Mozambique channel and the wiwuj LucuLuori- quiro consUint feeding, while the leafy i.uu,,uj ...uSCU iv,i ma 1 parts of tae pIanU munl i,eCnt atJt pruneti Tho Helper of Religion, Science, Educa tion and All Good Works. No publisher or editor pretends that he risks his capital, give1) timo, labor, thought and care to tho making of a newspaper for charity's Fake. He publishes his jour nal as the book publisher publishes his book for profit as n means oT living or making a fortune. Publishing a newspaper is strictlj- business, though there is no other business on the face of the earth of which philanthropy and patriotism are so large a part. The newspaper is the helper of the church.nnd the school, of religion, science, literature, art, industn, ngriculture of everything which concerns the good of so ciety and the stnte. It is the very prop and stay of charity and public spirit; the most potent enemy of public wrong or injus tice; and it must bo so necessarily, as it is but public sentiment reflected in type. The newspaper depends for its success upon popular favor, and the aim of every one connected with it isthotof winningpopular favor by running upon parallel lines with public moralit3. To saj- that the news paper is published for monej is to say no harm of it. It has passed into a universal maxim tlit "the church lives by tho altar" by the contributions which the faithful Iny upon the nltar. And it is true, and it is not discreditable. The newspaper press is gen erally as high in morals nnd intelligence as the public conscicuco and mind; higher than that it can never be permanently,, as it must be what .-nciet3' demands it shall be. As a mntter of fact, it frequently runs ahead, temporarily, of public morality; it often creates tho public sentiment that de stroys public wrongs: it often secures jus tice by proclaiming the injustice. The press is not without ita funks, but venality or untruth for money's sake is not one of them. Itv;orst fault is its parti san prejudice, its inability to perceive that the newspaper that servej its country best serves its party best. It does not fie for pelf, but it doc3 for political expediency's sake too often fnil to recognize the truth. It is not unclean for money's sake, nor sen sational for profit's sake, though it may too oiteu biunrier into the mire or into sensationalism through wantpf good judg ment. The press of the United States and we speak, of course, of that great body of reputable newspapers which reallj constitute tho press is justrwhat readers of high or avcrago intelligence aud morals make it, and it rises day by day to higher planes of intelligence and morality To make the "best, the truthfuiest, the cleanest newspaper, all other things being equal, is to make the most profitable one. That is the experience of everj- publisher and responsible editor of a great and pe cunarily successful public journal. The press will always have its adverse critics, who if run to earth will be found to be some unworthj, discarded members of it. or those with whom the press has had to deal more in justice than in mercy. As to its defense against mendacious criticism, it is making it daily; for it is compelling tho testimony of scores of millions of read ers to its usefulness, its pnblic spirit, its in telligence and its morality.
