Many of the Ills Manufactories at Pitts burgh Act' Opening. Pittsburg, Pa., June 18. The settle ment of the great coal strike and the return to work today of 15.0J0 of the 20,000 miners in this district has given an impetus to ail kinds of business and the situation is more hopeful than at any time for many months. Among the largo plants in this city which resumed today after a long idle ness were the Carbon Iron Steel Co's. works, Oliver's Twenty-Sixth street works, Shoenburger Howe and Brown &Co The latter has been shut down for two years and started up in lull giving em ployment to 500 men.

They will hold out for a 13 cents differential over the rate paid in the Hocking district. The mili tia continues to guard all bridges and trestles along the C, L. W. In conversation with miners at Qimp Blee today they stated that as long as the differential was withheld, not a pick would be raised, and if scabs were chosen in their stead, there would be the biggest riot in the history of the country, and that the militia would be of little consequence to suppress it. j ENDORSE THE OFFICERS. Miners Are Going- to Work In Ohio In Large Numbers. Columbus O., June 18. Letters and telegrams to national headquarters of the United Mine Workers of America, give unmistakable evidence that the sen timent in favor of sustaining the national officers is growing rapidly.

THE TARIFF BILL. The Pulp, Papers and Books Schedule Discussed. Frye on the Importance of the Pulp Industry. Washington. June 18. Mr. Hill mov ed in the senate today to place coal on the free list and made a speech in sup port of free coal and the redemption of Democratic pledges. The senate today after some routine business entered on the 12th week of the tariff debate. The temperature was sweltering, the mercury standing 81 in the chamber. At the request of Mr. Piatt the para graphs 288 and 289 of the silk schedule passed over Saturday were again passed over today and schedule M. pulp, pa per and books was taken up. Mr. Fery protested against the first paragraph of the schedule placing a duty of 100 per c ent on mechanically ground wood pulp and chemical wood pulp, bleached or unbleached. The production of wood pulp, said Mr. Frye, was an enormous industry, em ploying 70,000 men, turning out a pro duct valued at $35,000,000 annually, and paying an annual wage of $23,000,000. Under the operation of the present duty the cost of paper had greatly decreased. Wood pulp bad decreased in price from 4- cents per pound to 1J4 cents in the last ten years. It was produced in twenty-nine states, but principally in Maine and New York. He appealed to to the other side to "make the duty speci fic instead of advalorem and proposed an amendment to substitute equivalent specific rates, say $2. An amendment to substitute equivalent specific rates say $2.50 per ton, on wood pulp, mechanically ground, chemical wood pulp, unbleached $5 per ton and ble ached $6.50 per ton. The Democratic members of the finance committee refused to accept the amendment and it was rejected 20 23. It was not until coal was reached that opposition developed. The house bill placed coal on the free list. The finance committee amendment duty placed- a duty of 40 cents per ton on bituminous coal and shale, 15 cents on slack aud culm and 15 per cent advaloren on coke. As soon as the clerk had read this paragraph Mr. Hill and Mr. Peller jumped to their feet. The New York senator was recognized, and he sent to the clerk's desk an amendment to rele gate bituminous coal and shale to the free list. 3:30 p. m. The vote on Mr. Hill's mo tion to place bituminous coal on the free list was: Yeas 7; nays 51. Messrs. Allen, Hansbrough, Hill, Irby, Kyle, PefEer and Washburn voted aye. Senator Hill said today that he reserv ed the right to vote for or against the tariff bill when "I see what it is as finali ty." Passionately exclaiming: "God knows what the bill will be like when it passes the senate and comes out of con ference; God knows how many more ex tortions and concessions will be wrung from the unwilling hands of the commit tee." CARL JOCKHECK'S LOTS. lie Tells Where He Got the Property la Question. The court house injunction case in which Carl Jockheck and Alena Shaffer want the board of county commissioners enjoined from appropriating as-a part of the court house site lots 27, 20 and 31, Van Buren street, is on trial this after noon in the district court. Vance and Campbell and W. C. Webb appear for the plaintiff and County Attorney Harry SafforJ with A. B. Quinton appear for the board. Carl Jockheck was put on the stand. He thousrht the property was worth all of $16,500. "Is this property your homestead?" "Yes, sir; I have lived there twenty one years." "State how you came into possession of the property?" "It belonged to my wife when I mar ried her. She died in 1887." "What part of the property is yours?" "Miss Shaffer and myself are equal owners." "What relation is Miss Shaffer to you?" "She is my step-daughter." Sir. Jockheck stated that he never talked to any of the commissioners about the purchase of his lots until after the litigation began. He never set but the one price on his lots. Miss Shaffer fol lowed Jockheck on the stand, and em phasized all that he said. The trial of this case will occupy all the afternoon ARTZ LEATES TONIGHT.

Over an Inch and a Half of Rainfall ia a Short Time. A little after 6 o'clock this morning a rain and thunder storm occurred which lasted for about an hour and a half and which caused high water in many places. The rainfall was 1.66 inches. It was the heaviest rain that has fallen here this year. The streets were turned into small rivers and many yards were flood ed. Electric car men say that it was im possible to see the ground twenty feet away during the heaviest part of the storm, and the lightning was very vivid. The wind was blowing at a high rate of speed and the hail that fell was driven against window panes with such force that it broke the glass in a number of houses. At Walnut Grove there is a lake two blocks square at the corner of Eighteenth and Van Buren streets. It is caused by surface water. The Shunganunga is full and some fears are entertained lest it will overflow its banks and cause another flood like it did two years ago. The Fourteenth street bridge over the creek is badly damaged by the water and it will require a good deal of repairing to make it safe. The creek is getting a good washing out, and it needed it bad enough. All kinds of unpleasant things are floating down stream. A horse's head was seen to pass the Sixth street bridge bnd there are several dead hogs caught in the "chug" under the bridge. The creek has formed a new channel at Sixth street and it threatens to undermine the piles of the bridge and also to cut out a large telephone pole. In Parkdale there is an abundance of water and the small boy is making the best of his opportunities by using the floating sidewalks for boating purposes. From Sixth street south to Ninth in Parkdale it is pretty nearly a continuous .pond. The streets are covered with wat- r and nearly all the wooden sidewalks are out of place. The brick sidewalks ,are covered with a layer of mud and the lawns -are swamps. Street Commissioner Naylor has a force of men at work at the Sixth street bridge removing the drift in order to re lieve the immense pressure that the water is making. J The electric cars could not get to the end of the cemetery line this morning as there was about a foot of water over the track. One brave motorneer tried to get through it and the result was that an other car had to pull his car to the shop for repairs. 'i he Oakland cars were unable to get to the end of the line this morning on account of high water at the river, under the Santa Fe bridge. The water from the lower part of the city rushed down and covered the tracks at this point to a depth of three feet. The Shunganunga creek will not over flow its batiks unless there is more rain. The river has begun to rise a little but the high water may be expected there tomorrow morning. At the United States weather bureau Observer T. B. Jennings says that it will rain more very soon at least such are the indications. At 7 o'clock this morning the temperature was 62 degrees. The bar ometer is a shade below the normal con dition. At 2 o'clock this afternoon the temperature was 69 degrees. At Swift Holliday's it was 70 degrees. STRUCK BY Llti-HTMNG. The English Lutheran is Hit Also a ltusiiience in Lowman Mill. Considerable damage was done by the lightning accompanying the storm that broke over Topeka this morning at about 5 o'clock. The English Lutheran church on the corner of Fifth and Harrison street was struck. The lightning entered the steeple squarely in the center and ran down the northeast cor ner and come out through the brick wall. The shingles on the weat side of the steeple were also torn off. With the exception of some slight dam age to the frescoing the interior of the church was not damaged much. The house of W. W. Decker, at 1009 Prospect street, Lowman Hill, was struck about 6 o'clock. Mr. Decker was light ing a gasoline stove at the time. I he shock v.'hirled him around several times and upset "the burner. The lightning struck in the center of the roof and did considerable damage to the house. Mr. Decker is employed in the office of the Santa Fe auditor of freight receipts.

Viuette is up town today making ar rangements for a mass meeting Wednes day night This one will probably be held in a hall. There will be other speakers. A reporter visited the camp today at noon and found several of the 'infantry" sitting around a camphre. The camp presented a drowned appearance. Tlie flags looked wilted and from the branches of the surrounding tree fluttered a va riety of masculine wear in various stages of dilapidation. The thirty or forty black tin cans that constitute the army's commissary equipment were arranged in a neat row along a shelf built between two trees. "When do you eat?" asked the re porter. 'Any time we get anything," said one of the men whose name is Cook. Vin ette was not there. "We are depending mostly on other people now'f our liv ing, and if we get enough to keep soul and body together until we get started again we shall be thankful. We mighty near drowned out last night," he con tinued. "We sleep anywhere we can in boxes, cars, sheds and some on the ground, and the water last night reached nearly every one of us.

STATE JOURXAL. MONDAY EVENING. JUNE 18. 1894. A BIG BOMB PLOT. An Alleged Scheme to Blow Up Washington, Is Unearthed by the Police There. A DEADLY MACHINE. A Canadian Anarchist Planned to Destroy the Capital. WASHryr&TOTT.Jtine 18. An anarchist plot to blow up the public buildings in Washington has. been discovered by the district police. The leader of the anarchists is H. J. Jaxon, a half-breed French Canadian who has for years been closely identified with the Chicago Anarchists, and whose office has been located in the Times building in that city. For weeks past a house at 19-1 Ver mont avenue in this city, where the secret meetings of the anarchists have been held, has been watched by the police and a man named De Masters, known both as doctor and professor, and an ex-Episcopalian minister, has attended the meetings and is the in formant. The formula from which the explo sives were to be made has been ob tained, the compound made and tested. It is the latest hellish device of the anarchists and explodes from the heat of the sun, throwing out a deadly poisonous vapor. JSo arrests have been made and the police refuse to reveal their full information and have sought to keep the story from the papers. Knowledge of the plot becaine.however. too generally known to prevent a leak. Sergeant-at-Arms Bright of the sen ate was the first to receive any infor mation. The vice-president was then informed; also the nigbt watch at the capitol, and the speaker of the house. Secretary Carlisle was told of a plot against the treasury department, and the president was also informed of the situation. With the police work ing steadily on the case for weeks pa-st, not enough information has been obtained ujon which certainty of conviction could be assured, and for this reason arrests have been postponed day after day. Jaxon's presence in the eity was hinted at in the telegraphic dispatches before the arrival of Coxey. He came here before the commonweal army, and rode over the route which Coxey would follow. The information which De Masters brought was that Jaxon had expected to fiud no difficulty in organizing a strong association of Anarchists here, and that it was also expected that Anarchists would flock in here from all directions with the commonweal crs. Jaxon was disappointed in find ing the local Anarchists, but on the day of the commonweal parade reds -came from New York, Philadelphia and Chicago, and a meeting was held. A hint of this meeting was given the police at the time, but the suspects departed and the fear temporarily subsided. Shortly after this Sergeant-at-Arms Bright received a letter which was of such an earnest nature warning him of a plot to blow up the Capitol and other public buildings that he de cided to investigate. It was one of hundreds of letters that he had re ceived, but the earnestness manifested by the writer caused him to make an investigation. He consulted with Major Moore, superintendent of the District police, and the author of the letter was met per agreement, and proved to be an ex-preacher, De Masters, who had been taken in by the anarchists. De Masters was put tinder pay, and instructed to attend all the meetings. He did so, and made reports to the chief of police. Word was finally brought that with the arrival of Frye's army, now i the Cumberland valley, there would be an influx of Anarchists and that the time for putting the plans into execution "would then be ripe. It was decided to wait until then before making any arrests, and in the meanwhile Jaxon and his followers have obtained in formation that they were being watched. Even with the knowledge that the facts were to be published, the police last night refused to give out the in formation in their possession as to the "extent of the plot, or'the names of the men who were associated with Jaxon. It is settled that eight men met reg ularly at 1921 Vermont avenue, but whether this comprised all those in the plot could not be learned. ..Jaxon will be remembered as chief lieuten ant to Louis Reil in the half-breed Canadian rebellion.

Men are Determined to Prevent Trains Movinsr. Chicago, June 17. At a late hou last evening, General Wheeler, com manding the first brigade, Illinois national guard, received orders from the adjutant general .to send the Sev enth regiment. Colonel Colby com manding, to Mount Olive 'at onee to aid the local authorities in preserving peace. The strikers have been acting in a riotous manner at Mount Olive for a week past, preventing the move ment of trains containing coal laden cars, and committing other lawless acts. Saturday night a party of United States deputy marshals went to Mount Olive from Springfield and arrested several of the leaders of the men who had been instrumental in stopping traffic on the road in the hands of the federal court. Nearly a thousand strikers and sympathizers gathered, however, and made such threatening demonstra tions that the deputies released the men and returned to Springfield. The sheriff reported to. the governor that he was unable to cope with the mob without additional aid, and although there has been no serious rioting as yet, it was deemed best to take pre cautionary measures. VIGILANCE COMMITTEE FORMING, Bull BUI Miners Likely to Cause More Trouble at Cripple Creek. Colorado Springs, Col., June 18. A private dispatch received in this city from Cripple Creek states that the Bull hill miners are already form ing a vigilance committee to rid the camp of the men who are not to their liking. If this thing is kept up there is liable to be a lively conflict. The j indignation of the people here is also raised over the fact that several men j who recently went to the camp as j deputies have received threatening j letters. A quiet, systematic effort is being made to discover the writers and should they be apprehended, they will undoubtedly be roughly treated. WANT THE IB PA RESTORED.

The local unions composed of em ployes of the Cleveland, Cincinnati, St. Louis and Chicago railway, and those of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois road, on both of which the men have had their wages reduced during the present year, have been holding daily meetings with a view to concerted action. Working on the Kansas Miners. Kansas Citt, Mo., June 18.

The report of the statistician of the department of agriculture for June says that a glance at the per cent ages of condition of peaches on June 1 is sufficient to show how dis astrous the season has been thus far. The returns at this date relate prin cipally to bloom in the more northern districts, and where conditions are high it would be too ear ly to form an opinion as to crop results. As fruit does not recover from a low condition early fh its history, as other products do, it is safe to construe the extremely low figures into a practical failure of the crop. The condition of apples is somewhat better than that of peaches.

Patrol nan King of the city police force shot ind fatally injured Jerry O'Neil, a popular Irishman, living in the West snd, last evening at 6 o'clock. The officer had become eng aged in an altercation with a man and attempted to arrest him. It is said that there was no occasion for the arrest and a srowd surrounded the officer and his prisoner. O'Neil ran up and struck King in the face, when tle policeman drew his revolver and shot him down. A ;rowd gathered around the officer and an attempt was made to lynch him. He made a running fight for his life, but would have been over powered had he not been rescued by a platoon of policemen. The wounded man will die. "A policeman shot another man dead a few days ag1"' without provocation and public opinion has been greatly aroused in -consequence. A second shooting which, it is claimed, was un provoked, occasioned the riot. The riot numbered not less than 1,000 persons and it was three hours before order could be restored.

Senator Harris said when the senate adjourned Saturday that the tariff bill would pass the senate by Saturday, and when Senator Aldrich the leader of the opposition to the bill, was asked what he thought of Mr. Harris' pre diction, he expressed the opinion that it would not be entirely realized. It would come near it. "I think," he said, "that by next Saturday night we shall be on the fag end of the bill." Both declined to state whether there had been any negotiations for an agreement as to the time for the final vote between the leaders on the respective sides of the chamber. It is known, however, that the situatio n has been canvassed more or less iu the numerous conferences which have taken place between Senators Cock rell, Harris and Jones on the Demo cratic side and Senators Aldrich and Allison on the Republican.

"FLY BY NIGHT." foe JefTeon Gives an Amusing Story el Its Orlg-ln. I presume that most people who visit the theater have heard the term "fly by night" applied to minor and unstable theatrical companies, but I believe there are very few, if any, who understand the meaning of the term, and among even the present genera tion of actors there is probably ndne who knows how the term originated. It was in the days when old Sol Smith, dead and gone these many years, had a strolling company which played in only the smallest ind queerest of all the small queei towns in the south and West. Smith and his company were playing a varied reper tory, as every company had to do at that time, of which "Macbeth," with all oi Locke's original music, was a prominent feature. But the public proved unappre ciative, and the times were hard. Soon Old Sol and his company were at low watet mark, and at length found themselves stranded in a little Kentucky town, from which A flinty hearted landlord refused to permit them to remove their baggage until they had liquidated his claim against them for board. Smith felt that he was equal to the emer gency, bavins; "been there" often before, and he cast about in his mind for some means of deliverance. At length he hit upon a plan. He engaged a countryman to bring a strong wagon, drawn by a pair of sturdy horses, under the window of his room at the back of the tavern at a certain hour on the following night. The mem bers of the company were let into the se cret, and it was arranged that on the night in question they should throw the landlord off his guard by assembling in the parlor and practicing one of the witches' choruses composed by Locke for "Macbeth" and en titled "We Fly by Nighty" in which those words are repeated over and over again. Meanwhile old Sol and his most trusty henchman were to lower the trunks from the window to the countryman, who was waiting below to receive them. This programme was carried out to the letter. The company was singing "We Fly by Night" for dear life in the parlor, while Smith and his man Friday were let ting down the trunks with as much celerity and quietness as possible, but, alasl not, as they fondly thought, into the hands of the countryman who was to convey them to a place of safety, but into those of the land lord, who had somehow or other got wind of the scheme. At length the work was completed. Old Sol and his companion, with a great load lifted from their miqds, joined the company in the parlor and united with them in sing ing "We Fly by Night." But just as they had sung those words for the third time the door opened, and the landlord, entering, said, with a winning smile, "Excuse me, la dies and gentlemen, but you won't fly this night, for I still have possession of your trunks." From that to the present all queer dra matic and musical companies have been known as "fly by nights." Joseph Jeffer son in New York Herald. Trying; to Get a Position on the BtaJT. Truth.

STATE JOUENAL, MONDAY rE VEIKG. JUNE 18 1894. ON DISTRICT DAY. There Are Great Times in the House, When District of Columbia Mat ters Are Discussed. SOME BIG SCHEMES. Ar Plan to Establish a Great National Exposition. Washington, June 18. Special.! District day, which comes around onco a month, has of late been a regular field day in the house, because almost every bill af fecting the District involved some great or long disputed principle in government, and while one member is frantic lest the District be imposed on another i3 perfect ly willing to try experiments here for gen eral application elsewhere. There are now pending scheme to establish a great na tional exposition so that all visitors, espe cially foreigners, may see the products of all the states here; to construct a vast boulevard aud vast bordering park clear around the city; to establish the biggest water filter in the world and make the muddy Potomac fluid clear as alcohol; to establish a great electric plant on new and original principles for the instruction of tho world and dually to issue bonds to the extent of $7,500,000 tocomplete the sewer age system of the city and vicinity. Yet all these momentous subjects have not ex cited as much interest or, at any rate, such a furious discussion as a litt le bit of a prop osition concerning the police pension fund. For, lo, these many years certain lit tle sources of revenue have been given to this fund, and ac present 19 disabled po licemen, 30 widows and 28 children are supported from it at a monthly cost of $1, 6S5. The proposition of the committee was to sot aside certain liquor license fees in order to sustain this annuity. The Liquor Question. Of course there was a disturbance. Those people who think any license to sell liqtior a mortal sin were on the points of their hoofs at once, and even some of the advo cates of license thought itof doubtful pro priety. When tho matter got into the house, Mr. Coombs made an Interesting statement on the experience of Brooklyn, which, as ho thought, h:ul proved it very unwise to connect this fund or any other fund in which the police are Interested with tho liquor business, because the po lice have to deal directly with the enforce ment of the liquor license law. Mr. Dinjrley of Maine claimed that the district attorney had recently rendered a decision whicli was nothing less than a deliberate attempt to override the law, and other members pointed out that the plan of diverting revenues was un-American, undemocratic and all the other things that are liad in fiscal science. They wanted all the revenues to go into the treasury first and then be voted out to the special purposes, as required. Having thus discussed the relations of temperance and the police, whisky and political econ omy, the house foil next upon the great and practically inexhaustible subject of a civil pension list. Mr. Holman got into such a state of mind that he seemed to be almost shedding tears as he implored the members not to enter upon such a policy as that of civil pensions, and Mr. Cox of Tennessee backed him up with an argu ment that the principle of pensioning po licemen would carry with it that of a civil pension list made up of superannuated and disabled employees in the depart ments. Tom Reed Looms T'p. When the Democrats had worked them selves into a really painful state of mind, Tom Reed, as usual, loomed upon the scene. Ho introduced some new lines of discussion on the general subject of gov ernment and of tho country's duties to this District, but ended, for a wonder, in agreeing substantially with Mr. Holman. lie feared that if a civil pension list were once started it would grow into an abuse, as government employees spend all they make, and each head of department is now confronted with the alternative of keeping old men who are past their usefulness or throwing them out on the world as objects of charity. Ho suggested an entirely new plan of paying department clerks that they should start with very low salaries, say $500, and that be steadily increased with length of service to $3,500 or $4,000, and that these salaries should bo taxed, at an increasing rate if you like, to create a fund for the superannuated. "If, said he, "these clerks won't save enough "to sup port them in their old age, the govern ment must do it for them. As it is, in tho revenue marine service we have a force of old and disabled men drawing full sal aries and retarding the promotions of younger men. There may be propriety in pensioning policemen as we do soldiers, but to extend the policy would be bad." Mr. Iiced was listened to with even more than tho usual attention, and after some moro spirited controversy the bill was re committed. That there should bo so much time giv en in a groat national legislature to a rrsat ter so trifling in itself would be ridiculous were it not that every member instinctive ly 6uspects a job or the introduction of an entering we! o to some great scheme in almost everything that is proposed for the District. While this heated controversy was raging in the house the senate was stirred up, though In a much more enter taining way, by the same subject. Some body had stated that Mr. Quay was pro moting a scheme by which a Philadelphia firm could get control of the surface roads of Washington, and the matter had gone far enough to bo the subject of a newspa per interview in which Senator Chandler was represented as criticising the scheme pretty savagely. Mr. Quay made a re markably good humored explanation of it as a question of personal privilege and yet managed to leave Mr. Chandler in a rather uncomfortable fix, so the latter declared that he had not assailed any senator, and the whole matter was referred for investi gation to the Gray sugar bribery commit tee, to the great amusement of the Demo crats. City Improvements. The grand scheme for a boulevard and bordering park is not yet in shape to be put into a bill, but the citizens' commit tee, which has it in charge, presents a beautiful plan. The whole flat along tho eastern branch of the Potomac is to be turned into a park, and from the northeast end of it the boulevard is to turn west ward and then southward again, connecting- the Zoological park, Soldiers' home and so on, around to the place of begin ning, which wcruld make it the grandest thing of the kind in the world. The proj ect to establish a permanent exposition here has been put into a bill by Senator Patrick Walsh of Georgia. The bill pro vides for a commission consisting of the postmaster general, secretary of the inte rior and secretary of agriculture, who are to prepare the plans advertised for compet itive offers fr the buildings and manage the business generally." The first appropri ation only is provided for in this bill $7, 600 for the expenses of the commission. DISCUSSING SOCIALISM. Statistics Belnr Collected for 17s hy Congress Morriaon Swift to Talk Washington, Jane. 13. An effort to compile statistics regarding convict la bor in the United States has been insti tuted by the house committee on labor as a preliminary to drawing a bill to pre vent compeittion between prison-made goods and the products of free labor. Letters have been addressed to the of ficials of the states and territories for in formation. Some of the points to be in quired into are: The number of convicts employed; the class Of work in which they are engaged; the channels through which their goods are placed on the mar ket and the prices at which sold. The result of convict labor was used as an argument to refute the scheme of Mr. Morrison I. Swift of the Fitzgerald industrial army, for government facto ries for the unemployed. Swift is one of the most able socialists and is to talk again today, believing that ha can con vince the legislators. Swift is a highly educated man, a graduate of Williams college and of the university" of Berlin, Germany. An interesting line of inquiry set on foot by Chairman McGann of the com mittee through the labor commissioner concerns the results of machinery upon labor and production. Mr. McGann be lieves that this country is suffering from over-production largely caused by the introduction of labor-saving machinery which displaces workmen, while it in creases the output. The typesetting machines which do the work each 01" three men, he considers a good example of this tendency. When they are intro duced in a printing office two-thirds of the men are displaced, they drift into other offices, find it difficult to secure work, are willing to work cheaply for the sake of a living and reduce the gen eral rates of wages. Another example of the same charac ter he finds in the history of labor-saving machinery in brick making. The remedy for this he finds in shorter hours of labor, arguing that a system of shorter hours will give employment to more hands and at the same time increase consumption in proportion, perhaps to the production. 'Vhen the hours of work are shor tened, says Mr. McGann, the laborer goes home with -a long evening on his hands, lie must have another suit of clothes to put on; another pair of boots; another hat; must have books or papers to read, or he must go for a walk, take his wife and buy a cigar for himself and candy for his children, thus increasing the consumption of products." The commissioner of labor is collecting statistics upon the effect of machinery on prices, labor and production in differ ent lines, which the commissioner of labor hopes to be able to utilize in pend ing legislation. Social Parity League. A very humane rescue work is being done by the Topeka Social Purity league under the direction of its president, who has had eight years' experience in this line.

There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflamation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition,hearing will be destroy ed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous sufaces.

Many acres have already been ploughed up in pur suance of Mayor Piagree's scheme of utilizing the idle land of the city for raising potatoes and beans for the poor. Nearly 2,000 acres have been loaned and twenty ploughs are at work. Those who once laughed at the idea are now sending in checks to pay for seeds and plowing. Nearly one thousand of the poor have signified a desire to raise some thing on this land. A small circus, mak ing a two-weeks' stand here, has offered to give the gross receipts next Wednes day to the Mayor's bureau. The mayor will himself enter the ticket wagon and sell tickets. '1 he president of the common council will coliect tick ets at the door and prominent aldermen will act as ushers. A street parade is talked of, in which the mayor and alder men clad aa farmers will ride in a hay rack.

There is no other city in the United States where the negative use of pri vate property has become such an ibuse as in New York. In many in stances this dog-in-the-manger policy won't build himself and won't let anybody else build is but a species of conservatism that belongs to the middle ages. But in very many it is simply and purely a spscies of black mail. The property owners next door or in the near neighborhood would willingly buy out the objec tionable place only the price is fixed far above the market rates. "We can't pay such a price as that. Why, it's twice as much as the prop erty is worth!" "Very well it's my price you can take it or leave it. I'm going to build a stable on it if you don't purchase!" And there you are. All through the 1 heart of business New York this real estate blackmail is held over the heads of those who would build befitting the grandeur of a great city It is not by small holders, but by very rich men, or by estates managed by agents. Whenever an enterprising man or big corporation desires to build a new business block anywhere, he or it is almost sure to find some owner of this kind to embarrass or stop the projected improvement. It maybe the estate is founded on ground rents, or it may j be the property of some resident abroad who is satisfied with the pres ent investment and won't sell at all. The probability is, however, that the owner will sell, but demands such an. exorbitant price that it comes very properly under the head of blackmail. It is to pay me so much you Can't get along without my plot it is my price, or stop! WOMAN'S LATEST. She Has the Creases Pressed Oat of Her Dresses. When a man wants creases put in his trousers he sends them to the tailor and pays for the work. When the New York tailor-made woman wants the creases taken out of her skirt and coat-tails she walks into the up-town shop where she bought her gown, pulls off her Prince Albert, drops her dress on the floor, tells the clerk to "hurry them up," and waits. It takes about half an hour for two pressers to do the work, and neither gets a penny. That's where the com manding spirit of the tailor-made woman shows itself. Friday is the great busheling day, and often there are thirty damsels waiting about in silk petticoats, sleeveless waistcoats, bonaets and gloves, with pocketbooks and shop ping books in their hands. There are some droll spectacles among them. While waiting for her clothes to come up one girl will do Delsarte exercise; another will put in the time showing her stout mother how to stand. Books on everything, from Sandow to the "Heavenly Twins," are seen; occasionally a woman shines her finger nails while her neighbor has hand glass looking for holes in her back teeth. The suits come np, one by one, in beautiful shape; an obliging little girl assists in putting them on, and the exquisites go off to come again in a week or two and go through the same performance. After a. rainy day the crowd in-dresses-to-be-pressed would delay the regular business if the staff of press men were smaller. Cirand Army Day at Ottawa.

The Suit Alleges Fraud, Hut 1hre Ap pears to -be Some SilsaDderstaaclinif. Atchison. June 18. A suit which will no doubt cause considerable comment was filed in the district court late Satur day afternoon. The plaintiil in the ac tion is Robert llcCrie and the defendants John 31. Price and Eliza A. Price, his wife. In February, 183, it is alleged the plaintiffs borrowed from McCrie about $9,000 on two promissory note3. .McCrie alleges that the defendants represented that Mrs. Price owned 500 acres of land in Johuson county, Ken tucky, and on this security the loan was made. lie says he began to press his claim and could not get the money and learning that Mrs. Price did not own the land in question, went to Kentucky to see about it. He claims that he has positive proof that Mrs. Price does not own the land and so filed suit for $10,127.74 principal and interest. An order was granted re straining the defendants from disposing of any property while the suit is in pro gress. McCrie alleges fraud upon the part of the defendants, and says it was perpe trated for the purpose of securing the loan. Air. Price is known to be perfectly honorable in his business transactions, and the general opinion seems to be that some mistake exists. Mr. Price is now in a very critical condition, and has been unable to leave his home for some time. THE HAMBLK FUNERAL. Over 3,000 Attend t lie Funeral of the M urdf rel Alan at Holton Yesterday.

THERE WAS NO QUORUM. Ib Congressman's Daughter Applied One or Her Father' Rule. The congressman's daughter was receiving a young man whom her father had no earthly use for, and he was kicking on it as hard as he could, but the girl was serene. "Daughter," he said the other morning, "wasn't that young squirt here again last night?" 'No, sir," she responded promptly. "I know better. I saw him, as I same in." "Where did yon see him?" she asked as cool as may be. "I saw him in the parlor talking to vou." "But he was not there, I tell you," she insisted. The father was greatly shocked. "My dear child," he said, "I can hardly say it, but I must, and I say you are deliberately lying to me." The girl not even so much as changed color. "It does look that way, doesn't it?" she smiled, "and I used to think that sort of thing was lying myself, but I've been up to the house of repre sentatives a great deal, and I've seen you a lot of times sitting there while they were trying to get a quorum and practically heard you say you were not there, though I saw you there, and so did everybody else, and it went. Now, Charlie and I are run ning our business on the same prin ciples, and so, while you may see him here, he is constructively absent, and we'd like to know what you are going to do about it. See?" The interview ended at that point, and that evening Charlie was promptly not present, just as he had been for many consecutive nights. TURNING OVER MUSIC. A London Invention That Is Said to Bo a Real Afony I'reventer. Every one who has sung a song or played a piece before frien Is knows the agony of mind engendered over what ought to be the simple operation of "turning over" the "doubt, hesi tation and pain," to press Browning into service, which too commonly ac company this proceeding on the part alike of the player and of the unfor tunate individual, hardly less to be pitied, who has kindly volunteered to oblige at the appointed momjnts. What social tragedies are still to be written on this topic! what stories of pages turned over many bars before the bottom of the page, of pages not turned over until long after the bot tom of the page has been reuched, of half a dozen pages turned over in place of one, of the entire music being turned over bodily into the perform er's lap all of these things and more one has seen. Now a London inventor has come to the rescue with what he calls a "music chip," and these woes need be no more. It is an ingenious but simple little contrivance, tho main virtue of it residing in the fact that it keeps all the leaves of the mu sic apart, so that the finger may be readily inserted. Fanenil Hall in Peril From Fire. Edward Atkinson has been arousing the people of Boston to the exposure of their beloved Faneuil hall to the peril of destruction by fire. The cellar and lower story are occupied by a meat market. The floors have been soaked with grease, and this, mixed with the sawdust with which they are strewn, furnishes a combustible ma terial which would carry flames so fast that a fire, once started, could not be checked before the historic struc ture was in ruins. Stores of lartl and tallow would feed the flames, and as if this were not enough the repairs of the ceilings and partitions have been made with pine, the ceilings being varnished. A Llngruistlo Curiosity. The other day I heard a queer idiom, which I herewith present to collectors of linguistic curiosities. The speaker was one of the ladies in the family of a government official who had been serving his country abroad for a 6hort time. "No," said she, "we did not care for Europe. We thought it very dull. We were -not bunched once during our whole stay abroad." The expression was so un usual that an enterprising listener, bolder than the others, asked what it might mean. "What do I mean by bunched' repeated the first speaker in surprise. "Why, no one sent us any flowers. What else could I mean?" When Hatton Was Post-Master-General. When the late Frank Hatton was sworn in as post-master-general, one. of his newspaper friends iu Washing ton sent out the following dispatch, which was considered by the subject of it the cleverest pun that had ever been made on his name: "The admin istration decided to-day to keep its Hatton in cabinet meetings for the remainder of the presidential term. ....If asked if it means anything, simply say the weather is getting colder, and the president is only showing proper care for the head of the post-office department."

Forecast until 8 p. m. Tuesday: For Kansas generally fair; southeasterly wimls. Governor LtwELLi.NG has a good firm grip on tiio cup if the platform has passed from him. Senator 0i"ay not the man to let anything like public duty interfere with private interests. If Mrs. Lease's thirst for the fray is very great perhaps she will relieve Mr. Lewelling of that cup. Madeline Pollard mjpears to be moving west so as to le present at Breckinridge's political funeral. To make the indignity all the worse the dress that Brown of Kingman, had to wear was a mother hubbard. The fact that the state of Missouri is under Democratic rule uud is at the same time paying oil its debt is a governmental paradox. The only interest in the sugar investi gation now is whether there will be any senators in the whole list who have made no deals. Governor Lbwelliko doesn't believe in woman suffrage, but he believes thoroughly in holding office no matter how you get it. If it be true as Governor Flower says that any one who tinkers with the tariff will be killed the Democratic party may as well be preparing its shroud. Rev. Myron Heed says be favors Waite forgovernor. It begins to look like his congregation was after all entirely justified in asking for his resignation. A Chicago skyscraper has been struck by lightning so it appears that the heavens have at last got mad at the con tinual trespass of that city on its terri tory. The present congress has passed few er bills than almost any other that has assembled which carries out the saying that there is no great evil without some good. Representativk Baynbs would have had no excuse for committing suicide on account of financial reverses if he had been a member of the senate sugar com mittee. A great many people in AtchUon will give as an excuse for not going to church now that they got out of the habit while the order against public gatherings was in force. Ignatius Donnelly's plan to have a band of Populist singers, reciters and speakers make the campaign in a big tent is quite in line with the party's cir cus ideas. Senator Hansom lived a great many years before finding out that "My boy wouldn't do such a thing" is a dangerous expression to use and often extremely chagrining. Hotel Kkkper Pitzcii who threw cigar boxes full of money at the Coney Island dancers seems to be about the only person that has done anything to relieve the financial stringency. The trouble with Senator Quay's state ment that he sold his sugar stock before the tariff bill came up to as to prevent suspicion is that it doesn't correspond with either his other statement or past history. Since the seamstress over the state have begun to contribute to the Populist campaign fund on account of that party's attitude on woman suffrage it would be just like the mean anti-suffrage men to quit wearing shirts. The thing that made the Italians think Slgnor Crispi's action in running after the man who had tried to kill him ex traordinary was that a man would exert himself running when he might have stayed la the carriage. The action of the house committee in not allowing Indian children to go east to school where they could learn to smoke cigarettes and part their hair in the middle Is another addition to the long list of Injustices the government has commit ted against that race. SATURDAY'S PRIMARIES. The Republicans have nominated a ticket which ought to prove very satis factory in general results, and peculiar ly satisfactory because it was the tick et selected by the Republican masses themselves. The men who were the choice of the Republicans as decided by the largest number of votes cast by the Republisan people themselves, have been placed in nomination. In the city so far as the State Journal was concerned the interest 'centered on county commissioner. This paper was the only one which fought the renomination of Commissioner Knight, The vote which stood Rodgers 1,900 and Knight 507, speaks for itself. There is nothing more to say and we earnestly hope that Mr. Rodgers will make a record which will show that the handsome majority which he received was most "worthily bestowed." The contest for representative was the most peculiar one ever made in this city. It was pretty thoroughly mixed up. It must now be reasonably clear to all that it was a mistake to draw the issue on the j state printership. It made the whole canvass savor too much or a scram Die for spoils. It would have been better all round to have declared the issue on fitness and ability for legisla tive work, and for the candidates for state printer to have taken their chances on the representative voicing the sentiment of the people on their private desires for preferment. Major Hudson preferred to make the issue and his friends gave him his own way in the m.itter. CoL Veale declares himself free to act as he deems best. In selecting Col. Veale the majority was most pronounced and shows that the peo ple, many of whom refused to allow the printer question to enter into their decis ion, a personal one, believed that Veale would make the best rep resentative. Ilia sixteen years' record with no failure on securing appropriations most important to this city, was a force that gave him a won derful strength. It is needless to deny that Mr. Welch was scratched because of an unfortunate "break" he made in the celebrated tele phone message calling on the Santa Fe shopmen to rally to the state house. The Santa Fe employes resented the intima tion that they could be ordered out for political purposes. Mr. Welch has won laurels in the past, and the vote Saturday shows he will have to rest on them for the present. The Journal's tow line seems to have helped Mr. Rodgers toward his destina tion on the board of commissioners. Our esteemed contemporary kept hands off on that matter. Results 'show however, that in the representative fight the Capital made the burden more than we could carry. Dr. McCasey, head of the Topeka in sane asylum, evidently does not believe in the code which makes it unprofessional for a physician to advertise However, the doctor's paid write-ups are not in re gard to his professional skill, but refer to his management of affairs at the asy lum. The Kansas City Journal has a haif-column adv. for the asylum and its superintendent. Lawrence Gazette. Why does the .administration permit Dr. McCasey to bring his profession and the state into ridicule by continually in serting matter praising himself and his management in the daily papers and paying for the same at so much per line? Dr. McCasey has offered advertisements of himself to every paper in Topeka and Kansas City. The morning paper here accepted the matter, but marked it "adv." as it should be, very much to Dr. Mc Casey'a chagrin. This attempt of Mc Casey to square himself with the public by inserting paid advertisements in the papers is enough to" convince anybody that he is not a tit person to have at the head of one of the big 6tate institutions. It may be asking too much of Governor Lewelling to stop appointing the wrong people to office, but he ought at least to remove them when their unfitness is dis covered. Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette: The men who really rule the world are lim ited in numbers. They own the gold, and have kings and queens and govern ments lit their call. When a new loan is wanted they make their conditions; the minor details ot government are left to take care of themselves, and the people adjust themselves to these conditions as they can. Values go up or values go down as suits the interests of the money bags. They are the arbiters of peace and war and of the fate of nations. The Rothschilds are the kings of the earth, with their faithful allies and watchful coadjutors in every land. Out of 6ight and almost unknown, it is they who formulate the financial policies of the world, which their aiders aud abettors ever hasten to carry into effect. By the demonetization of silver they double their power. The Republicans didn't put woman suffrage in their platform, because they did not wish to make it a party question. The Pops did put it in their piatform, and by so doing they made it a party question. The leading women, by urging it, are responsible for it, and, if defeated, will have no one to blame but themselves. The Pops, through them, have forced it as an issue. The opposition Republi cans, Democrats, and Independents should vote against it. Emporia Re publican. Nonsense; all the voters who are in fayor of woman suffrage should vote for it, and all those who are not in favor of it should vote against it; and that's about what they're going to do. The Populists have not necessarily gained any votes by their action. Miss Anthony seems to think a good deal of Colonel Newcome's favorite say ing, "When things become too hot for you, run away." When the Populists began to exact unpleasant promises of her she left for New York. HON. THOMAS C0RWIN INTERESTING MEMORIES OF A RE MARKABLE STATESMAN. A. letter From Jjonom.1 Garfield Why Cor win'a Daughter Never Married A Repu tation For Wit Tlx Beat Lwyr tho Country Ever Produced. Special Correspondence.! Cleveland, June 14. The death the other, day of Miss Corwin at the old homestead at Lebanon, in this state, re calls memories of interest of that great man, her father, Hon. Thomas Corwin, ex-governor and ex-United States sena tor. Miss Corwin never married because of her love for her father and because he felt so badly whenever any of his daughters entered into the state of matrimony. Miss Corwin had numerous r: -it. AS' S CORWIN AT 28. opportunities to wed before the death of her father, but refused them all, and when he was gone she had passed the marriageable age. Some years ago, on the suggestion of the late President Garfield, I spent some time in the collection of material with the end in view of writing an adequate biography of the n:an who in his day was the most popular and the most talk ed of of any Ohio statesman. At that time I visited Lebanon and secured much data. Dr. William H. Corwin, the statesman's only son, was then alive, and he furnished me many reminis cences that, except in my notes, are now lost. Why Miss Corwin Never Married. The following anecdote written out for me by Dr. Corwin explains why Miss Corwin never married: "The love which father cherished for his three daughters was so intense that it partook of the nature of jealousy when they be gan to be courted by the admiring young men of the vicinity. At the marriage of his oldest daughter, Eva, to Mr. George R. Sage, a young lawyer of Cin cinnati, who is now United States dis trict judge, he manifested 6o much feel ing that the occasion partook more of the aspect of a funeral than of a wed ding. During the ceremony he shed tears, and at the wedding supper, after a prolonged silence, he finally broke out as follows: 'Now, I want it distinctly understood, that this thing is never go ing to happen in this house again. There will never be another wedding here. I will get a nigger 6 feet tall and give him a pole 10 feet long and post him at the front doer and instruct him to knock any young man in the head who comes to see my daughters.' An interesting letter which I received from General Garfield at that time also bears upon the same subject. I will give it in full, as it contains several other points that are very interesting, and that have never been made public: Washington, March 2, 1878. My Dear Robertson Yours of the Stith ult. came duly to hand. I am not able to give you much in regard to Corwin beyond the point you already refer to. I will, however, mention a few things in order aa they occur to me: First He was singularly affectionate toward his family and friends. I remember he told me that at the marriage of each of his daugh ters he had suffered the pangs of jealousy to think that his daughter could love another man better than she loved him; that when his first daughter was married, though the man she married was a noble fellow, yet Corwin shut himself up in his room for a day or two before the marriage, and the family had much difficulty to get him to go down stairs and at tend the ceremony. The occasion of his tell ing me this was shortly before his death, when he hod just returned from the marriage of his youngest daughter. He said the old feeling of jealousy revived, and he had a horrible time till the wedding was over. Secoud Ke remarked very sadly one even ing that it was the greatest mistake of his life that he had ever cracked a joke or made a funny speech, for people would never believe that a funny man could have any solid abili ties, and if he did not make a funny speech his audience was disappointed. Third The story of his first election to con gress, or what he called "the nightshirt issue, 1 think you will remember sufficiently without my repeating it. Fourth A large party of Ohio people had as- sembled at the house of Mr. Wetmore, the mil itary agent of Ohio, and Corwin was in his happiest vein of anecdote. He occupied a sofa, with a friend seated on each hand and as many seated in front of him as oould get with in reach. They were listening to one of his In imitable stories, in the course of which he arose to illustrate some point of the anecdote, and while ntaking a gesture with both hands was stricken with paralysis and fell forward. I caught him iu my arms as he fell, and White- law lteid, who stood beside me, aided in carry- iug him to a .bed In an adjoining room. He spoke once or twice on the way and as we laid him down, but never 'poke again. He died next day. Very truly yours, J. A. QABraxn A. Peculiar Issne. The "nightshirt issue," to which General" Garfield refers in his letter, was one of Corwin's favorite stories, and General Garfield told me that he had heard Corwin repeat it on two sep arate occasions. It was to the follow ing effect! When Corwin first ran for congress, he was at first somewhat put to it for a satisfactory issue. He accidentally learned that his opponent wore a night shirt, which was rather unusual in those days and in that locality. He re ferred to this fact in one of his speeches and noticed that it created quite a sen sation. He then proceeded in subse quent speeches to expatiate in every conceivable way upon this subject, pic turing to his hearers a man clad in a nightgown such as honest grandmothers wear. Ha remarked that the shirt wet I7 XT S ClNv ft t i v Ek i I jvith the sweat pf toil was good enough ti t most men to wear at night, but there were certain among them who thought that they must wear night gowns. He asked, with apparent seri ousness, if they thought that a man who would wear a nightgown would make a good lawmaker. Corwin was confident that this waa the principal issne in bis first canvass for a seat in congress. Corwin had but one son, and he was very fond of him. When that son was a student at Dennison university, in this state, one of his teachers wrote to Mr. Corwin that his son was studying too hard, and that he waa in danger of injuring his health. On receipt of that letter Mr. Corwin wrote his son aa fol lows. I saw the original of the letter, whioh Dr. Corwin still retained in 1878: My Dear Sow I am informed that you are seriously injuring your health by study. Very lew young men nowadays are likely to be in jured in this way, and all I have to say to you is tnat snouia you luu yourself by overstudy it will give ma great pleasure to attend your ranerau Under the second heading in General Garfield s letter he subsequently related an incident in his own life that has not appeared in any oi ms Diographies, so far as I have ever seen. He said: "You would hardly suppose that I Was once on the verge of gaining a rep utation as a wit, would yon?" I replied that I had never suspected each a thing. A. Reputation Lost. '"It is nevertheless true," said he. "It happened in this way: I had at one time quite an itching in that direction and carried it so far in the campaign of 1860 that J delivered one speech that was pronounced 'funny' by those who heard it. It was delivered in Columbus, O., and published quite widely. The comments of the press called a good deal of attention to it Up to that time I had not made a wide reputation in the state as a stump speaker, but the flattering notices of that speech brought me into considerable 'prominence. I received a large number of invitations tea speak in various localities. I thought the matter over considerably and saw that the time had arrived when I must take my place before the public either as a 'funny man or as a speaker who dealt with facts. I said to myself that I could probably gain a quicker and a wider reputation as a man of humor than as a speaker who dealt with subjects after the usual matter of fact way. But I knew myself well enough to know that I could not long hold out as a wit and that when I failed in that line I could not then take up the other style of dis cussion. As I now recall it, it was a good deal of a struggle, but I decided firmly to suppress the wit or the attempts at wit and so accepted an invitation to speak in Cincinnati. I proceeded to pre pare a speech in the most matter of fact way imaginable on the leading issues of the day. There was a large crowd out to hear me. They evidently expected something after the Corwin stamp. In fact, it had been more than whispered about that I was the second 'Waggoner boy. I vent ahead and didn't crack a joke during the whole speech. A more disappointed audience it has never been my fortune to address. I never had any reputation as a wit to contend against, though, after that speech. In His Old Age. "Poor Corwin!" remarked the gen eral, after a pause. "He died, like many another man who has made a reputation as a wit, in great distress of mind. He was really a profound man and one of the best lawyers this country ever pro duced, but the common people regarded him as a buffoon whose bounden duty it was to amuse them. When Corwin returned to the United States in 1864 from Mexico, where he had been serving as minister, he found himself a hopeless bankrupt. About CORWIN AT 68. $100,000 in debts hung suspended over his head. This enormous sum was the result of having signed notes for alleged friends, who left them for him to pay. In his old age he settled down to the task of earning sufficient money at the practice of the law to settle with his creditors. He opened a law office in Washington, and his great ability at tracted clients with important litiga tion, and the flushnesa of the times waa helping him in a remarkable way to pay his debts, when he waa suddenly cut down as described above by General Garfield. George A. Robertson. Burial Custom of tha New Zealandera. The New Zealanders have a singular burial eustom, and one that is essential ly the same as that of the Parsees of tha orient. Unlike the latter, they bury their dead in the earth, but leave them there only long enough for the flesh to decay.

Jefferson Barracks Is Rich In Interesting Keminisencer of Military Heroes. Just south of St. Louis and near Ca rondelet, on the west bank of the Mis sissippi river, is a broad valley filled with straggling yellow buildings. There is nothing beautiful about the place, but th name, "Jefferson Bar- LIEUTENANT COLOXEL SAMUEL S. SUMNER. racks, "will recall to military men a flood of half forgotten memories of epi sodes and incidents connected with the historic west and army officers since famous on the battlefields of the civil war. The old yellow buildings, too, are wound up in the life romance of General Grant and also that of the president of the southern confederacy. The barracks and officers quarters were erected m 1826 under the super vision of General Henry Atkinson, the first commander of the post. In 1882 famous old Black Hawk and all his chiefs were confined there as prisoners. While they were there Jefferson Davis, fresh from West Point, was made a lieutenant in the new First cavalry. Lieutenant IT. S. Grant appeared at Jefferson Barracks in 1843. At a ball given by the officers to the citizens of Carondelet he met Miss Julia Dent, a native of the village, and a few months later he married her in one of the old yellow buildings. General Joseph E. Johnston took com mand of the post in 1858, and in 1855 Jefferson Davis organized the Second cavalry there. Under him were Albert Sidney Johnston, Robert E. Lee, Gen erals Hardee, Thomas, Van Dorn, Kirby Smith, Stoneman and others since fa mous. When the war broke out, the bar racks were turned into a hospital. Sub sequently they became the property of the engineer and ordnance corps. Late ly the officials at Washington have transformed the place into a cavalry school. General Grant, Jefferson Davis, Gen eral Lee, Stonewall Jackson, Albert Sidney Johnson and Generals Hardee, Kirby Smith and Thomas have passed away. Yet the old yellow buildings still remain almost unchanged. The reveille guns and trumpeters wake the post to life every morning and put it to sleep every night the same today under the present commandant, Lieutenant Colonel Samuel 8. Sumner, as they did 65 years ago under General Atkinson. Colonel Sumner is a son of the late Brevet Major General Edwin Vose Sum ner, who served for 44 years in the reg ular army and died in the harness in 1863 after rendering distinguished serv ices in the .Tivil war.

A reference library of 10,000 volumes is connected w ith the museum, and each department has besides a li brary of works bearing ou tho particular subjects there illustrated. The actual cost of the building and its contents is about $2,000,000, but it would be im possible to duplicate the museum in its present shape for twice that raiiL Mar shall Field, after whom the museum is name1, headed the list of subscriptions with a contribution of $1,000,000. Edward E. Ayer, the president of the Field Columbian museum, is one of Chicago's wealthiest and best known business men. He took an active in terest in the mn'spum project from its inception and donated a collection of Indian relics valued at $100,000. It represents the dress, manufactures, weapons and customs of tho Apache, Sioux, Cree, Pima, Yuiaa, Navnio, Cherokee, Choctaw, Ottawa and Chip pewa Indians and the Alaska and north Greenland Eskimo. It is said to l; tho best ethnological collection of Indian life and methods in the world. Mr. Ayer was born in Kenosha, Wis. Nov. 16, 1841. lie was educated in di trict schools in Wisconsin and Illinois and in 1861 went to California. Thero he enlisted in the First California cav alry. He was afterward transferred to the First New Mexico infantry, where he waa promottd to be second lieuten ant. In 1864. he resigned and returned to his father's home at Harvard, Ills., and began business as a railroad con tractor. In 1881 he secured timber lands and sawmills in Arizona and or ganized the Ayer Lumber company, with a capital stock of $250,000. RAILROAD TIES.

Major Morrill, the Republican candi date for governor of Kansas, opened his campaign Saturday night at Kansas City, Kansas. Thousands of people gathered at the Tabernacle. Major Morrill's speech was short. He said: "To use the language of Mr. Cleveland, it is a condition and not a theory that now confronts us in this country. A condition in which every citizen has a deep inter est. Two years since, the tires were burning brightly in every forge in the country and the mills and shops of the land were resounding with the hum of industry. Today the scene is very dif ferent The tires have been drawn and the mills and shops of the land are clos ing or are closed. Men are out of em ployment and business is in the most dilapidated and deplorable state. "What has brought all this about? Surely it was not brought about by any single act of legislation. The causes are remote and of long duration. Years ago when England overflowed with her mil lions, there were vast sums of wealth sent to South America for investment, and there were tremendous investments made in those new countries. Collapse followed, and with it came a lack of con fidence, and the money that had been sent here for investment was withdrawn. Still there was no need of a panic in this country. The whole affair was the re sult of a senseless scare that could have been averted had the president of the country acted with firmness and decision at the proper time. It was like allowing a fire to spread in a precious building. A small amount of water would have easily quenched it at the proper time, but carelessness and indecision entailed untold damage to the whole party. "If President Cleveland, when he saw the drift of matters and the threatened danger, had had the courage and wisdom to have issued a proclamation stating that there would be no radical changes in the existing tariff laws, there would have been no panic in this country. Had he possessed the courage and wisdom to have come out boldly and declared that he would use all of the methods at his hand to maintain the credit of the coun try at home and aboard, there would have been no lack of confidence and no panic. Business would have been pro ceeded with as usual. vv un a inreatenea violent cnange in the existing tariff laws it was not to be wondered at that the finances of the country were affected. Business men were not going to be caught. The manu facturer had to stop or curtail on account of changes that might affect his trade. Merchants were forced to lessen their stock to be ready for the changes that might come and as the matter became contagious it grew to ruinou3 results. And all this resulted from the lack of courage and wisdom on the part of the president." The question that was interesting everyone now, said the speaker, was how are we to restore confidence once more and get the business of the couutry in proper shape again. It cannot be done in a day or two, nr can it be done by any single piece of legislation. We must all go to work and work in harmony to get confidence again restored. It is the duty of every true American to stand up for the country, and the man who went about with a tale of woe, telling evil of the land, was a public enemy. "We must act so that the people know we mean what we say. Capital cannot be blamed for securing its own protec tion. No denunciation will change it from its course if evil is threatened it Nothing will drive it out of its course if it is assured protection. There is just as much money in the country as ever. It is hoarded in the banks for the reason that the scare is not all over. In times like these no one uses money, while in prosperous times there is a constant de mand for money from all directions. The money is in the natural channels if it only had an opportunity of getting out. "It will do no good to issue more money. It would be like injecting more blood in the system of a man suffering from congestion of the heart. There would be simply more blood to gather around the congested parts. "One thing we do want is good money money in which we feel a confidence, and money that calls out new enterprises and starts up new industries. I want the people to have good money. Every dollar issued by the United States ought to be as good as any other dollar made, no matter whether it is gold cr silver. "The parity between the two metals ought to be preserved, and if necessary every ounce of the silver mined here ought to be coined and put in circula tion. But in all this we should do noth ing that would make one dollar less than any other dollar. "I believe our Populist friends are breeding a revolution, and that the con test this fall in this state is between law and order on the one side and socialism and anarchy on the other. I believe that the vicious teachings of the Populist party for the past two years have re sulted in more damage to the state than all of the other ailments and blights that have afflicted the state for the past forty years. I he uroutn ana trie grasshopper did less damage to the country." The reputation of the state abroad had become so bad that men were ashamed of the present place occupied by the state, and men who fought to make Kan sas what she ought to be were compelled to hang their heads in shame as they heard the disgrace of the state told at home and abroad. Applause. The mission of the Republican party was to redeem the state. The actions and the platform of the Populists will result In the farther depreciation of values. They promised the people reform two years ago, and in redeeming that promise had so managed the public institutions that, with a single exception, there had been a scandal and a disgrace connected with each one. Men of known bad character had been appointed to responsible positions and had disgraced them. Men who had left other states for the state's good were ele vated and then betrayed their trusts. Applause. "I am a Republican because I am an American. Cheers. I believe the United States is the best country on earth. Loud annlauaa 1 Tf I had th I protect the industries of the country from all encroachments of whatever nature. I would give the benefit of the markets here to the American workman, I believe the men who made this state what she has been, and can be again, will find they are in line with this policy at the elec tion, and that Kansas, the best etate in the union, will be redeemed ia Novem ber." Much applause. WON'T ENDORSE CLARK. Mam a The Democrats Will Probably Straight Democrat. It now looks as if there would be a straight Democrat in the field for associ ate justice of the state supreme court. When Clark was nominated it was thought the Democrats would fall into line and give him their endorsement but four candidates for the Democratic nom ination have already been mentioned. They are Joseph G. Lowe, the Washing ton county stalwart, Judge James Humphrey of Junction City, J. II. At wood of Leavenworth, and Chaa. Bucher of Newton. It is thought that when such well known Democrats ask the nomination the convention will not dare to endorse Clark, although there is a sentiment fa vorable to his nomination. Another thins- that militates against Clark is that in his speech before the Populist convention accepting his nomi nation, he declared his endorsement of the Populist platform and that although he had been opposed to woman suffrage. he would now vote and work for it, LEFT ON A RAFT. Some of "General" Benaett'a Waaler Depart from Kansas City via the Mo. "Geaeral" Bennett, who was given $102 by the Populist convention for his commonwealers, at Kansas City, has run away with the money; at least he has not been seen since. Saturday evening one company of the men who have been camped in the East bottoms for two weeks, set sail on a raft down the Mis souri. They numbered twenty-seven. As fast as rafts can be built the rest of the troops will follow. lhe raft is a rude affair, built of drift. The frame is composed of several tele graph poles, which "floated down the river from somewhere" quite handily. These .were spiked together with tre nails. Over this frame was built another of joists, logs, anything and everything that came up on the shore, and upon all was a rude floor, lhe American Hag planted in the center of the strange craft gave it a jaunty appearance. "HOOKEY" JIM CRAZY. Dr. McClintock Birardi Him as a Dan gerous Character. Dr. J. C. .McClintock' says that he thinks that "Hookey" Jim Fuston should be put in an insane asylum. He is an epileptic, and is liable to go dangerously mad at any time, says Dr. McClintock. Some time ago Dr. McClintock endeav ored to have "Hookey" Jim disarmed on account of his disease. If this desper ate character were taken before the pro bate judge be could be sent to the state insane asylum on the testimony of any of the Topeka doctors. SNAP SHOTS AT HOME NEWS.

Their Policy of Seeing; What the Other Fallows Are (iolng to Do. The Populist congressional committee of the Second district, with an eye to business, has issued a circular announc ing the postponement of their congres sional convention until July 12. The committee some time ago called their nominating convention for June 22 to he held at Paola, but since the Repub lican convention adjourned without mak ing a nomination, they have decided to wait until the Republicans have another opportunity to name their candidate. The adjourned Republican convention will be held at Lawrence July 10, and two days later the Populists will meet at Paola. There will be ninety-five dele gates in the Populist convention, as fol lows: Allen 8; Anderson 9; Bourbon 12; Douglas 9; Franklin 11; Johnson 10; Linn 10; Miami 12; Wyandotte 14. CoL H. L. Moore, of Lawrence, the nominee of two years ago, Judge 8. S. King of Kansas City; and State Senator W. P. Dillard, of Bourbon county, are talked of as likely candidates. THEY LOUDLY YELLED tTmtll the Police Arrested Them for Malc inT a Disturbance. Parkdale was disturbed early this morning by a racket that sounded like the enthuslasum of a political conven tion.

TOUHGEE WON'T TAKE IT. Rafaad a Congressional Nomination Because of the Republican party' Faults. New York, June 18. Judge Albion TV. Tourgee, who has been a leading candidate for the Republican nomination in the 34th congressional district in this state has withdrawn from the fight. He has written au open letter address ed to the Republicans of New York state in which he presents in details, the rea son for this action. He says that the Republican party iu this state, seems to be drifting away from its old principles of "free speech, free soil, free men." Judge Tourgee said in conclusion: "I have an abiding faith in the American people and the voters of the Republican party. I have no more doubt of their inclination and ability than I have of their ultimate determination to over throw the oppression and establish jus tice for alL "I recognize the fact, however, that such determination must in both cases result from individual conviction of the needs and efficiency of individual action. Such conviction can only arise from such discussion and illustration as shall bring the matter home to the attention of every voter." Sew Kind of Mouey Orders. Washington, June 18.

Some Are Figured, Some Are Striped, and Few Are Plain Tbe latest In Skirt. Cotton Goods and Summer Tweeds New Bepsack. Special Correspondence.! New Yohk, June 14. It looks this week as if every woman had gone a lit tla bit crazy on the subject of silk waists, for every second one you meet appears in one without wrap or jacket, while the rest have one on which is more or lees in evidarJce. We ought to be very thankful for such a comfortable and handy garment, which is also Yjjry FOR A YOUSO GIRL. adaptable. It can be worn at home and ou tho street, and when very nice it will answer also for visiting for young persons. That means women under 40. Tho greater part of these pretty silk waists are of dark silk in tbe lighter qualities. Some are figured, some striped and some plviii and depending upon the trimming for dressiness. I have seen some that were extremely pretty made with fiat lace insertion laid over the silk so as to represent stripes, some go ing up and down and others around. These with the laco trimming are of the soft china silks and in very light tints and often white. A handsome velvet or ribbon belt should be worn with such a waist as a finish. Plaiting down one side of tho front and a draied collar is tho most usual trimming, though there are dozens of other designs. One pretty waist was mado of shot brown and gold taffeta,' with white swivel dots on tho surface. This waist had the shoulder part shirred to repre sent a yoke, and at the end of each line of shirring there was set a tiny bow of gold colored baby ribbon. Tho lower part of the waist was gathered in to a belt of brown velvet ribbon, which had. two rosettes and ends of the same. Tho sleeves to these silk waists vary in form, some being balloon, some gigot, some double puffs, but the pret tiest and most graceful are the bishop and Duse sleeves. The changeable taffetas are very pretty made up in this style of waists. They can be worn with any skirt, wool, silk or mixtures, and they transform what would be an uncom fortably warm costume into a cool one by leaving off the waist that belongs to the skirt. The prettiest model for these silken, muslin, cambric and percale waists is that where the fronts are gath ered full both at the top and bottom. I remember a very dainty and girlish frock made in this manner. The skirt was straight around and gathered to the belt, and there was a shirred- ruffle of the same material set on to simulate an apron front, meeting at tho waist ia tho back, where there was a hemmed sash of the mauve chanibray. There was a smaller one in front at the belt. The waist was made of shirred rufries and one center puff. The sleeves ended at the elbows with a shirring and a ruffle. The whole gown was extremely neat and girlish, and the effect of dressiness was all obtained by shirring. Some of the prettiest hats and bonnets get their effect by shirring. There are fewer cotton goods shown now than earlier in the season, and I have not noticed anything new in that line this week except some exquisite printed dimities. These have the neat- T ill." .i, .P.' KKW WAISTS AND HATS. rst little figures, mostly floral, and make tip very well, particularly when trim med with russian embroidery or point de gene lace. There are several novelties in swivel weaves of silks, but they have not seemed to "catch on" and are al ready marked down. There are some delicate new crepons, with satin stripes in all the newest shades, and several novelties in light and dark shades of the rich 6ilk crapes, but unfortunately these are too expensive for the majority. There are some summer tweeds and J camel's hair, both light and flexible and i La new shades and colors, and there is a new hopsack where one thread is gray and the cross thread green or some other color. This gives the goods the appear- I ance of pinhead check, and it is light aid cool as well as very pretty. Olive Harper. "'Mm ml i "tti y g' l i AFTERNOON GOWNS. The Dnchess of Newcastle. At the royal drawing roon; on Thurs day many ladies wore English made ma terial. Among them, it is said, was the Duchess of Newcastle, a stately young matron, whose gown of mauve san, with wondrous lace trimming, and bod ice "veiled in silver flecked mauve chif fon showing between diagonal bands of satin, with undulating edges outlined with silver," caused the sensation of the day, according to courtly gossipers. This is not surprising, for the duchess is a beautiful woman, and the profusion of diamonds which she wore and her train of dark reddish pansy purple hue were alono sufficient to make her stand out distinct from tho crowd. London Letter. Praise From an Opponent. Miss Helen Kimber is doing excel lent work as a speaker and organizer ia Kansas.- She recently spoke in a town where lived an old acquaintance who was bitterly opposed to woman's en franchisement. He listened to her ad dress," and when he came to shake hands he said: "Well, Helen, that speech was a vote getter. I don't agree with you, but other folks do, and it's coming. If I wanted it to come, I'd advise you to go on talking just that way." This from an opponent was testimony to ef fectiveness. lilnslin Wedding Dresses. Because muslin is the fashion for wedding frocks for June brides this year it dees not of necessity mean that the hard times have struck even wed ding outfits. It is a bad dressmaker who cannot make a wedding outfit of white muslin as expensive as one of silk. It is lace year, and lace good lace, which alone is worth buying is never inexpensive. Lace, however, is like diamonds an investment for it lasts years and never really goes out of fashion. Boston Journal. Mrs. C bap in Congratulated. Mrs. Sallie F. Chapin of Charleston is receiving a great many congratula tions on tho laying of the cornerstone for the Winthrop Normal and Indus trial college of South Carolina, at Bock Hill. Ever since 1885, when she visited the industrial college for girls in Mis sissippi, Mrs. Chapin has been urging the establishment of a similar institu tion in South Carolina". The Charleston News and Courier says, "It is the open ing of a new era to tho women of this state. Hot and Restless Baby.

There is no mistaking the fact that, numbers being the test, the suffragists are overwhelmingly stronger than the "antis Nor is there any reason to be lieve that the weight of womanly intel ligence is not just as strongly preponder ant on tho affirmative side of the ques tion. New York Recorder. An Owensboro (Ky. young woman has evolved the novel scheme of raising money for charity by offering to darn the socks of all her gentleman friends for a fair consideration. Her skill has already led to two offers of marriage, but the right man hasn't appeared yet. Mr. Walter Besant has proposed that a woman's labor bureau shall be started in London, and one of its duties will be to advise how young girls shall be trained to make them most efficient in whatever line they adopt. The Kansas state convention of coun ty superintendents of schools has just been held at Hutchinson. It passed a unanimous resolution declaring, "We believe in political equality." G. M. Adams, United States pension agent for Kentucky, has appointed two Frankfort women, Mrs. Kate Patton and Mrs. Fannie Trahue, as his deputies. Mrs. Maria Campbell has been ap pointed superintendent of tho alms house at Broakline. Mass. The Mayflower Club. The Mayflower, a woman's club in Boston, is a good object lesson in club economics to more than the sex to which its membership is exclusively limited. Formed solely for the purpose of afford ing a quiet place where its members could lunch when in the business dis trict of the city, it has just held its sec ond annual meeting and look over of the club affairs, to find that it is in a most prosperous condition financially. It has long been considered a sine qua non of the running qualities of men's clubs that no cafe attached to them could sup port itself without a bar, but the May flower has demonstrated differently. It has no bar, does not sell wines or liq uors of any sort, and through the past year has paid for itself in every way and left intact for future emergencies its re serve fund. To meet its growing popu larity its membership has been increased to 400, which, however, does not by any means clear off its waiting list. Bos ton Correspondent. A Bride In Knickerbockers. I have never heard even the most rabid advocate of rational dress sug gest that they would grace the form of a bride on her wedding day, says an Eng lish writer. A skirtless, knickerbocker ed maiden, with a wreath and veil, savors of the region of farcical comedy, and I doubt whether a reverend gentle man would not consider himself justi fied in refusing to perform the ceremony until the bride presented herself in less manly ai-ray. However, the New Zealand clergy are less wedded to sartorial con ventions, for one of them, said to be "a sympathizer in tho great reform of wom en's dress, recently united a pair at Christchurch not, however, in a church, but a private hovise when the bride wore stone blue bengaline coat and knickers, long embroidered vest, a wreath of flowers and bridal veil. Among the guests were many ladies in the manly attire affected by fair bicycle riders, and the bridesmaids had also dis carded skirts. Women's First Vote In Ohio. By a recent act of the Ohio legisla ture the Paxton special school district has been created in Miami township, Clermont county. Consequently an im mediate election of a board of trustees for the new district became necessary, and at this election, which was held May 1 1, women voted for the first time in Ohio. It was recognized as a histor ic event. The schoclhouse was made beautiful with flowers, plants and pa triotic decorations, and a handsome silk flag floated from the staff on tho belfry. A ticket was nominated entirely of wo men Mrs. Harriet Paxton, Mrs. Ellen Hutchinson and Mrs. Mary A. Reeves and was unanimously elected. It was arranged that Mrs. Reeves, the wife of City Passenger Agent of the Big Four J. E. Reeves of Cincinnati, should cast the first ballot evei- cast by a woman in Ohio. Of about 60 votes 20 were cast by women. Boston Woman's Journal. Women Cyclists. American women of fashion havo been slow to adopt the Parisian craze it can only be called that for bicycling, but it begins to look as if the force of its contagion has really crept across the sea. A high class print recently pub lished a Worth bicycling costume, and by chance the writer heard a day or two ago at one of the large shops an order for 25 cycling gowns of an approved sort to be sent to Tuxedo. These are merely straws, but with more that are discernible seem to indicate the way the wind is setting. Bicycle fashions are indeed becoming a distinct department. A golden rule for women cyclists is that which is rigorously followed by the thoroughbred horsewoman allow no loose ends. Have everything about your toilet secure. Loosely done hair, flying ribbons, unnecessary furbelows of any sort, are to be tabooed. New York Times. "Dodo's" latest. Miss Margot Tennant, who sat for the portrait of "Dodo," in Mr. Ben son's fin de siecle story, and has now wedded, is the most talked of woman in England, her witty speeches being banded from mouth to mouth and even tually ending in print.

SUNDAY SERMON. .Another Chtnoe" the Subject Thereof People Who Think Tbty Cam Cor rect Their Mistakoa la this World aro Doomed to Disappointment. There is a hovering hope in the minds of a vast multitude that there will be an opportunity in the next world to correct the mistakes of this; that, it we do make complete ship wreck of our earthly life, it will be on a shore up which we may walk to a palace; that, as a defendant may lose his case in the Circuit court, and carry it up to the Supreme court or Court of cnancery and g-et a reversal of judg ment in his behalf, all the costs being" thrown over on the other party, so, if we fail fn the earthly trial, we may in the higher jurisdiction of eternity have the judgment of the lower court set aside, all the costs remitted, and we may be victorious defendants forever. My object in this sermon la to show that common sense, as well as my text. declares that such an expectation is chimerical. You say that the impeni tent man, having got into the next world and seeing the disaster, will, as a result of that disaster, turn, the pain the cause of his reformation. But yo,u tan find ten thousand instances in this world of men who have done wrong and distress overtook them suddenly. Did the distress heal them? No; they went right on. That man was flung of dissipations. "You must stop drinking," said the doctor, "and quit the fast life you are leading, or it will destroy you." The patient suffers paroxysm after parox ysm; but, under skillful medical treat ment, he begins to sit up, begins to walk about the room, begins to go to business. And, lo! he goes back to the same grog shops for his morning dram, and his evening dram, and the drams between. Flat down again! Same doctor! Same physical anguish. Same medical warning. Now, the illness is more protracted; the liver is more stubborn, the stom ach more irritable, and the digestive organs are more rebellious. But after awhile he is out again, goes back to the same dram shops, and goes the same round of sacrilege against his physical health. He sees that his downward course is ruining his household, that his life is a perpetual perjury against his mar riage vow, that that broken-hearted woman is so unlike the roseate young wife whom he married that her old school mates do not recognize her; that his sons are to be taunted for a life time by the father's drunkenness, that the daughters are to pass into life under the scarification of a dis reputable ancestor. He is drinking up their happiness, their prospects for this life, and, perhaps, for the life to come. Sometimes an appreciation of what he is doing comes upon him. His nervous system is all a tangle. From crown of head to sole of foot he is one aching, rasping, crucifying, damning torture. Where is he? In hell on earth. Does it reform him? After awhile he has delirum tremens, with a whole jungle of hissing reptiles let out on his pillow, and his screams horrify the neighors as he dashes out of his bed, crying: "Take these things off me!" As he sits pale and convales cent, the doctor says: "Now I want to have a plain talk with you, my dear fellow. The next attack of this kind you have you will be beyond all medical skill, and you will die." He gets better and goes forth into the same round again. This time medicine takes no effect. Consultation of phy sicians agree in saying there is no hope. Death ends the scene. That process of inebriation, warn 5ng and dissolution is going on within stone's throw of you, going on in all the neighborhoods of Christendom. Fain does not correct. Suffering does not reform. What is true in one sense is true in all senses, and will forever be so, and yet men are expecting in the next world purgatorial rejuvena tion. Take up the printed reports of the prisons of the United States, and you will find that the vast ma jority of the incarcerated have been there before, some of them four, five, six times. With a million illustrations all working the other way in this world, people are expecting that, dis tress in the next state will be salva tory. You can not imagine any worse torture in any other world than that which some men have suffered here, and without any salutary conse quence. Futhermore, the prospect of a refor mation in the next world is more im probable than a reformation here. In this world the life started with in nocence of infancy. In the case sup posed, the other life will open with all the accumulated bad habits of many years upon him. Surely, it is easier to build a strong ship out of new timber than out of an old hulk that has been ground up in the breakers. If with innocenc to start with in this life a man does not be come godly, what prospect is there that in the next world, starting with sin, there would be a seraph evoluted? Surely the sculptor has more prospect of making a fine statue out of a block of pure white Parian marble than out of an old black rock seamed and cracked with the storms of half a cen tury. Surely upon a clean, white sheet of paper it is easier to write a deed or a will, than upon a sheet of paper scribbled and blotted and torn from top to bottom. Yetnen seem to think that, though the lif that be gan here comparatively perfect turned out badly, the next life wiU succeed, though it starts with a dead failure. Poneropolis waa a city where King Philip of Thracia put all the bad peo ple of his kingdom. If any man had opened a primary school at Poneropolis, I do not think th parents from other cities would have sent their children there. Instead of amendment in the other world, all the associations, now that the good are evolved, will be de generating and down. You would not want to send a man to a cholera or yellow fever hospital for his health; and the great lazaretto of the next world, containing the diseased and plague-struck, will be a poor place for moral recovery. If the surroundings in this world were crowded of tempta tion, the surroundings of the next world, after the righteous have passed up and on, will be 1,000 per cent more crowded of temptation. Multitudes of men who are kept within bounds would say, "Go to, now! 'Let me get all out of this life there is in it. Come, gluttony, and inebriation, and uncleannesa, and re venge, and all sensualities, and wait upon me! My life may be somewhat shortened in this world by dissolute ness, but that will only make heavenly indulgence on a larger scale the sooner possible. I will overtake the saints at last, and will enter the Heavenly Temple only a little later than those who behaved themselves here. I will on my way to heaven take a little wider excursion than those who were on earth pious, and I shall go to heaven via Gehenna and via SheoL" Another chance in the next world means free license and wild abandon ment in this. Suppose you were a party in an im portant case at law, and you knew from consultation with judges and at torneys that it would be tried twice, and the first trial- would be of little importance, but that the second would decide everything; for which trial would you make the most preparation, for which retain the ablest attorneys, for which be most anxious about the attendance of witnesses? You would put all the 6 tress upon the second trial, all the anxiety, all the expenditure, saying, "The first is nothing, the last is everything. Give the race assurance of a second and more important trial in the subsequent life, and all the prepara tion for eternity would be "post mor tem," post funeral, post sepulchral and the world with one jerk be pitched off into impiety and godlessness. Furthermore, let me ask why a chance should be given in the next world if we have refused innumerable chances in this? Suppose you give a banquet, and you invite a vast number of friends, but one man declines to come, or treats your invitation with indifference. You in the course of twenty years give twenty banquets, and the same man is invited to them all, and treats them all in the same obnoxious way. After awhile you remove to another house, larger and better, and you again invite your friends, but send no invitation to the man wlio declined or neglected the other invitations. Are you to blame? Has he a right to expect to be invited after all the indignities he has done you? God in this world has invited us all to the banquet of his grace. He invited us by his Providence and his Spirit 365 days of every year since we knew our right hand from our left. If we declined it every time, or treated the invitation with indifference, and gave twenty or f orty or fifty years of indignity on our part toward the banqueter, and at last he spreads the banquet in a more luxurious and kingly place, amid the heavenly gardens, have we a right to expect him to invite us again, and have we a right to blame him if he does not in vite us If twelve gates of salvation stood open twenty years or fifty years for our admission, and at the end of that time they are closed, can we complain of it and say: "These gates ought to be open again. Give us another chance?" If the steamer is to sail for Hamburg, and we want to get to Germany by that line, and we read in every evening and. every morning newspaper that it will sail on a cer tain day, for two weeks we have that advertisement before our eyes, and then we go down to the docks fifteen minutes after it has shoved off into the stream and say: "Come back. Give me another chance. It is not fair to treat me in this way. Swing up to the dock again, and throw out planks and let me come on board." Such behavior would invite arrest as a madman. You see that this idea lifts this world up from an important way sta tion to a platform of stupendous issues, and makes all eternity whirl around this hour. But one trial for which all the preparation must be made in this world, or never -'made at all. That piles up all the emphases all the cli maxes and all the destinies into life here. No other chance! O, how that augments the value and the imopar- tance of this chance! Alexander with his army used to surround a city, and then would lift a great light in token to the people that, is they surrendered before that light went out, all would be well; but if once the light went out, then the bat tering-rams would swing against the wall, and -demolition and disaster would follow. Well, all we need do for our present and everlasting safety if to make surrender to Christ, the king and conqueror surrender of our hearts, surrender of our lives, surrender of everything. And he keeps a great light burning, light of gospel invitation, light kindled with the wood of the cross and flaming up against the dark night of our sin and sorrow. Surrender while that great light pontinues to burn, for after it goes out there will be no other oppor tunity of making peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Talk of another chance! Why, this is a su pernal chance! In the time of Edward the Sixth, at the battle of Musselburgh, a private soldier, seeing that the Earl of Hurt ley had lost his helmet, took off his own helmet and put it upon the head of the earl; and the head of the private soldier uncovered, he waa soon slain, while his commander rode safely out of the battle. But In our case, instead of a private soldier offering helmet to an earl, it is a king putting his crown upon an unworthy subject, the king iying that we might liveu Tell it to all points of the compass. Tell it to night and day. Tell it to all earth and heaven. Tell it to all centuries, all ages, all millenniums, that we have such a magnificent chance in this world that wo need no other chance in the next. I am in the burnished judgment hall of the last day. A great white throne is lifted, but the judge has not yet taken it. While we are waiting for his arrival I hear immortal spirits in conversation. "What are you waiting here for?" says a soul that went up from Madagascar to a soul that as cended from America. The latter says: "I came from America, where forty years I heard the gospel preached, and Bible read, and from the prayer that I learned in infancy at my moth er's knee until my last hour I had gospel advantage, but, for some reason, I did not move the Christian choice, and I am here waiting for the judge to give me a new trial and an-1 other chance." "Strange!" says the other; "I had but one gospel call in Madagascar, and I accepted it, and I do not need another chance." "Why are you here?" says one who on earth had feeblest intellect to one who had great brain, and silvery tongue, and scepters of influence. The latter responds: "Oh, I knew more than my fellows. I mastered libraries, and had learned titles from colleges, and my name was a synonym for elo quence and power. And yet I neg lected my soul, and I am here waiting for a new triaL" Strange," says the one of the feeble earthly capacity; "I knew but little of worldly knowledge, but I knew Christ, and made him my partner, and I have no need of another chance." Now the ground trembles with" tho approaching chariot. The great fold ing doors of the hall swing open. 'Stand back!" cry the celestial ushers. "Stand back, and let the judge of quick and dead pass throughl" He takes the throne, and looking over the throng of nations, he says: "Come to judgment, the last judgment, the only judgment!" By one flash from the throne all the history of each one flames forth to the vision of himself and all others. "Divide!" says the judge to the assembly. "Divide!" echo the walls. "Divide!" cry tho guards angelic And now the immortals separate, rushing this way and that, and after awhile there is a great aisle between them, and a great vacuum widening and widening, and the judge, turning to the throng on one side, says: "He that is righteous, let him be righteous still, and he that is holy, let him be holy still;" and then, turning toward the throng on the opposite side, he says: "He that is unjust, let him be unjust stilL and he that is filthy, let him be filthy still;" and then, lifting one hand toward each group, he de clares! "If the tree fall toward the south or toward the noi th, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be." And then I hear something jar with a great sound. It is the clos ing of the Book of Judgment. The judge ascends the stairs behind the throne. The hall of the last assize is cleared and adjourned forever. INCIDENT AND ANECDOTE. A young lieutenant going out to In dia with his regiment, writing home about the country says: "The climate is magnificent, but a lot of young fel lows come out here and drink and eat and eat and drink and die, and then write home and say it was the climate that did it." "What relation is Mr. X to yon?" asked the Boston minister of a 4-year-old boy. "He's my grandpa." "And what relation is Mrs. X?" "She'a my grandma." "And what relation am I to you?" added the clergyman. The little fellow was puzzled, but was finally told, "I'm your pastor; you'll remember, won't you?" The boy promised, and when he reaohed home electrified his mother and grand mother with the announcement: "Mr. Y says I'm some relation to him j he's my parsnip!" A gentleman. In speaking of tho commonness of the proper names of "Jones" and "Smith," told this storyt "I once attended a camp meeting in one of the rural districts of Kentucky. One day as I was walking from tho spring to the camp I met a strange gentleman who offered me his hand. 'I am glad to see you, Mr. Jones, said he. 'I suppose you are mistaken, said I. I reckon not,' said my new friend. 'I am a stranger here, but the man who brought me over here said that every other man I met would be a Jones.' 'Well? 'Well, the last one was Mr. Smith.' At a Staten Island ball one evening a plain country gentleman had en gaged a pretty coquette for the next dance, but a gallant yachting eaptain coming along persuaded the young lady to abandon her previous engage ment in favor of himself. The other, overhearing all that had passed, moved toward a card table and sat down to a game of whist. The cap tain in a few minutes afterward stepped up to the young lady to ex cuse himself, as he was engaged to another he had forgotten. The coquette, much chagrined, ap proached the whist table in hopes to secure her first partner, and said: "I believe, sir, it is time to take our places." The old-fashioned suitor, in the aet of dividing the pack for the irext dealer, courteously replied: "No, madam, I mean to keep my place. When ladies shuffle I cut."

Sherman The above is the list of Republican candidates nominated at Saturday's pri maries. Tho returns in are not entirely complete, but enough is known to show these candidates are the nominees. II. C. Sallord received a majority over A. P. Jetmure for county attorney of 643 in the city, and the vote in the country increases that majority. The vote on probate judge waa divided between seven candidates. J. G. Wood led, with John L. Guy a close second in the race. It is possible that the count ing of the official returns by the county central committee will change the result, but Mr. Guy has given up the fight and admits the nomination of Wood There were less than thirty votes between the two in the city, but Woods' vote in the country will undoubtedly give him the nomination. The contest for the nomination for the oftice of clerk of the district court was clearly between E. M. Cockrell, who is nominated, and Dr. A. M. Callaham, who received a very large vote. This was a surprise to many old politicians. The other three candidates had about the same strength. Chesney fell below what was expected of him. For county superintendent, W. H. Wright, the present incumbent, was re nominated without opposition. lie re ceived the full party vote. For representative in the city district Col. Geo. V. Veale was nominated over Mr. It. B. Welch by au even majority of 40'J. Tho vote was as follows: Veale Sec ond ward 590; Third ward 476; Fourth ward iU9; total 1,470. Welch Second ward i:u7; Third ward 447; Fourth ward 416; total 1,070. For county commissioner T. P. Rodgers was nominated over J. Lee Knight by a clean majority of l,39;t. Mr. Rodgers' majority was more than twice and al most three times as large as Knight's vote. The vote on commissioner in de tail was as foilows: Rodgers Second ward 577; third ward 707; Fourth ward GIG; total 1,900. Knight Second ward 173; Third ward 177; Fourth ward 107; total 007. In the north representative district A. C. Sherman was nominated over C. A. t L 1 l l fsiaruiru uy a large majority. At 2 o'clock this afternoon Secreta ry I C D. atson of the county central com mittee had received returns from every precinct in the county except Linn Creek. The returns now in which can not be materially changed give J. G. Wood a plurality of 70 votes over John L. Guy for probate judge and E. M. Cockrell's plurality for clerk of the district court is increased to about 250. Harry Safford's majority for county at torney has been increased by the returns from every country precinct. The Australian system of primary elections was voted as the favorite with a majority of the voters and that system will hereafter govern Republican prima ries. The county central committee will meet Wednesday to canvass the vote, an nounce the nominees and reorganize the committee for the campaign. THE KElKtSENTAIIVE. CoL Teal Declares II Has Mads Jfo FledjM. Col. Veale, for sixteen years a mem ber of the legislature from this county has been nominated by the Republicans as their candidate for representative from this, the thirty-sixtit, district lie is about as sure of election as any candidate for office can be before the Tote is cast. His record as a legislator is a remarka ble one. lie has always been successful in securing appropriations essential to the state institutions located at the capi tal. It is worthy of note that never in a single instance during his fourteen years service in the house and two in the senate has the legislature failed to allow funds for improvements at the state house, re form school or insane asylum, and fre quently for all three. In a talk with CoL Veale this morn ing he said: "I have never come back mpty-handed to the people who sent me 58c BET! 50c, tomorrow to represent them, and no effort of mine will be spared to maintain that record, of which I am naturally proud. 'I havfe made no pledges in regard to state printer or any other matter, except that 1 will do my duty as I see it, and I hoped my friends could depend on me to do the right thing.- I am a Repub lican lirst and have always voted that ticket, except at times on local issues, and once when I opposed St. John for a third term. I have an abundance of good Republican company on those scores. "About the charge made that I had signed an agreement to support Major Hudson for state printer, and placed the agreement in D. W. Mulvane'a hands, there is not a word of truth in it. 1 have made no pledges, not even to George Cranft He will tell you so and the cor respondence with D. W. Muivane, that has been alluded to, was ot a private ua ture except that it did put me right as to a charge made that I had said 1 would under no circumstances ever vote for Major Hudson. 1 said to Mr. Jlulvaue and have made no secret of it that if Major Hudson should be renominated in the Republican caucus as the candidate for state printer of course I would vote for him. "As to my vote in the caucus I am per fectly free. It is true that I had said some time ago that Major Hudson could rely on the tact that his chances would be just as safe in my hands as elsewhere. "The law is very strict and does uot allow a candidate to oiler any money, to even loan any money, or to agree to vote for any candidate for printer or any oth er office, for the purpose of furthering his own chances for election and I have been very careful not to subject myself to the law in this canvass. I have been obliged to refuse money, or to loan it, consequently my expenses have been light" S. 31. SCOTT LEADS. The Young; Populist Who Will Probably Coutnst This Iitrlct With Curtly. The Populist Fourth district congres sional convention meets at Kmporia next Wednesday. There seems to be no lack of candidates. S. M. Scott, who is president of the state board of public works has tho lead and will probably be nominated. John G. Otis of this city is a candidate, but will only receive four or live of the twenty-one votes of Shawnee county. Judge Foote of Marion will have some strength in the convention and will stand next to Scott. The Shawnee county delegation will' cast ten votes for Scott on the lirst ballot and the rest will be divided between Foote and Otis. The other candidates are Harrison Kelley, Ed S. Waterbury and Dr. Whar ton who was the Populist candidate against Curtis two years ago. The railroads have made a half fare rate and many Topeka Populists will at tend. K A ILROAD ASSESS 31 EXT. The Missouri 1'acitio 1m io Be Higher, the Santa l' I.owr. The board of railroad assessors has completed its work and the clerks com menced today to compile the figures. The exact amount of the assessment can not be ascertained until the work is completed and thi3 will require about a mouth. Auditor Prather, who is a member of the board, says that the aggregate valu ation will exceed the previous assess ment by $240,000. This includes a new line, the Kansas City, Pittsburg Gulf, which has been built from Kansas City through the southern part of the state and the new railroad bridge, at Leaven worth. He says that the valuation of the Missouri Pacific will be higher and that the Santa Fe will be lower, but he could not give the figures. LOCAL MENTION. Judge S. IL Snider has gone to Florida. The Coxey home guard will hold a meeting next Wednesday night for drill ing purposes at the Populist league rooms on Fast Eighth street Sam Alexander, who was arrested in the Santa Fe yards for trespassing on railroad property, is a tough looking citi zen, and is being held at police station on general principles. James Bradford and Will King are two colored boys whom Oilicer Capron arrested for lighting on Fast Fourth street One had a shovel and the other a hoe. Bradford was fined $5 in police court King will be tried later.

It Was on a Snhjnct Mijjrhty Interesting In Sewtpaper Offices. A. R. Lingafelt, of the Rock Island, and wife, who have been at Detroit the past week attending the national meet ing of superintendents of telegraph, re turned home yesterday. Mr. Lingafelt's mother, Mrs. A. C. Lingafelt, of Daven port, Iowa, returned with them. Mr. Lingafelt saya that nothing of par ticular importance was done at the meet ing. It was simply to discuss the ad vancement of the profession. He read a paper on the "Inetiiciency of the average telegraph operator to locate wire trou ble." They were in session two and one half days. There were no other repre sentatives from Kansas present. The next meeting will be held at New Or leans on April 17th, 1895. IX 11 A 1I.1IOA1) CIRCLES. Gossip Among the Railroad Hen of Kan sat. Frank Henry of the Santa Fa boiler shop had his buggy smashed up some by a collision with a motor car at the corner of Fourth and Madison streets Saturday. The tracks in the Santa Fe yards north of Second street are being overhauled.

The aggregate gross earnings of the Atchisou, Topeka Santa Fe system since January 1 have been $14,563,567, against $18,011,301 in the corresponding period of 18Uo, a decrease of $3,400,000, or nearly 20 per cent. The net earnings for the three months, ending March 31, 1894, were only $1,736,225, a decrease of $1,001,029, or over 33 per cent. SHOPS A N I OFFICES. Some XewNoles of General and Personal Interest. Way car 106 went into the Santa Fe shops this morning with one end torn out and several freight cars in various stages of recent dilapitation are going in today. All this is the result of a wreck on the Colorado division. Al Hodge, assistant foreman of the Santa Fe paint shops, is the father of another boy bcrn Saturday. tianta Fe Conductor H. M. Marshall of the Kansas City' to Newton passenger run, is oil duty on sick leave. A good many portions of the Santa Fe yards are well covered with water today, but not enough to stop work. The extremely heavy rain of last' night was general over the eastern division of the Santa Fe, but there were no washouts anywhere along the line and all trains are runnin g regularly today. General Auditor W. K. Jillett of the Santa Fe, arrived from Chicago today and will be in the general offices for a day or sa before going on west. General Manager J. J. Frey of the Santa Fe returned today from a short trip over the western divisions. What, by the way, has become of the Santa Fe shops crack base ball teams?

The Western Division Ladies Auxiliary of the order of Railway Conductors was a year old last week and celebrated it at the home of oue of its members, Mrs. John B. Rae, at 230 Klein street. This division is a strictly Topeka affair and is composed of sixteen ladies, the wives of members of the Order of Railway Con ductors. The auxiliary bears the same relation to the O. R. C. that the Rebeka lodge does to the Odd Fellows, and is a great help to it in many ways. Nearly all the railway organizations now have ladies' auxiliaries and feel their elevating in fluence. The officers of the Topeka aux iliary are: President, Mrs. Ettie Griffith; vice president, Mrs. Jennie Dodd; secre tary and treasurer, Mrs. Belle Stockton. They meet at Knights of Pythias hall on the first and third Thursday's of each month. A Co ii ti uc o r Hurt. A Missouri Pacific passenger con ductor, L. O. Turner of Atchison was seriously hurt in Kansas City Friday night by Jim Corrigan. Corrigan ap proached Turner before his train pulled out and asked to be carried to Atchison. Turner refused, whereupon Corrigan at tached Turner, knocking him down and pounding him up in a shocking manner. Turner's nose was broken, and he was otherwise badly bruised, and had to be taken to the hospital. AR3IATR0D VS ARMSTRONG Wants $10,000 for Alienating; the Af fections of-His Wife. J. W. Armatrod, the grocer at the corner of Euclid avenue and Clay street, has filed in the district coUrt a suit for $10,000 damages against T. Ii Armstrong of the commission house of Armstrong and Kassebaum. Armatrod asks for damages on the ground that Armstrong alienated his wife's affections and is re sponsible for Mrs. Armatrod securing a divorce from him. The divorce was ob tained before Judg.e Hazen early last week, and the case was not contested by Armatrod. He claims to have ob tained since then positive proof of what he did not suspect before, 'that Arm strong has been alienating his wife's af fections. To a reporter he said: "Arm strong has broken up my home and I propose to make him pay dearly for it I supposed he was a good friend of mine, but his relations have just been discovered I can prove by several of my neighbors that Armstrong used to visit with my wife several hours nearly every day when I was off attending to my grocery business." Reed and Chesney are Armatrod's at torneys and S. B. Isenhart is the coun sel for the defendant. The Amos Carpet Cleaning Procens. Much satisfaction has accompanied the use of the Amos Carpet Cleaning Pro cess, and every one who has seen the wonderful change caused by its applica tion have been more than pleased with the surprising result This preparation not only thoroughly cleanses the carpet on which it is used, but it restores its or iginal colors and the old carpet is made to look like a new one. It is much cheaper, to clean a good carpet that is soiled and filled with dust than it is to buy a new one, and if the ladies of this city had the receipe for the Amos Process of cleaning their carpets would appear to be new for all time, by the use of this preparation. To this end and for the benefit of those who would desire to have it, I have decided to sell my formula to those who want it fr use in their own homes.
