Crowds such as had :.ot thronged the senate iu mouths paclred the gal lories tod-ty I ho house ai.d the president had yesterday thrown down the gauntlet in the tariil question and a pitched battle was expected- Aa ominous l'Uaii waa upoa tue chamber wlieii the president pro tern (Mr. Harris of Tennessee) rapped theseuate to order. Seuai'jr Bia.-r.burn of Kentucky, iu a pinu negligee shirt, stood watch in hand while the chaplain delivered the invoca tion, looking like a judge at a Kentucky dorby. "The conservative" Democrats, Mr. Brice la an immaculate suit of white flannel; Mr. Gorman a sedate suit of biue and .Mr. Smith in a long black frock coat sal grouped together on the Democratic bide. ilr. lliii titling far back, chatted merrily with General D.'.n Siciiles, the one legged veteran of Gettysburg-. Sen ator Cuiei m.it:, Ai'drich, Allison ilale and Chandler, the ieiders on the Republican side appeared amused ut the storm which threatened acros the political aisle. Tiie preliminary routine business was trans acted in a perfunctory v. ay. Senator Yooi hoes, tne '1 all Sycamore of the Wiibdjli, chairman if Uie hu:iTiCc committee, arose and called up the con ference report, of the tariff-bin. Uhiut a wor i of explanation he yield ed the lljor to beaator Smith, of New Jersey, w'io arose aud read a care fully prepare! opeech. fit had hoped, he bttid, wben tbe till passed tLe senate two weeks ao that it had been perfect ed. Hut the events of the last 21 hours had cot: fronted the Democratic party with the porisibiliiy of i tit failure of all tariif le.;ri3lrttioa at this sessmn. If so, th-j responsibility mujl Le placed where it b.'lunztd. CritirUn tha President. He criticised the president "for violat ing'' the principles of his party in at tempting to interfere with the preroga tives of the legi-la ive branch of tne government, but declared that be should never be intimidated by threats trom the president or by the utterances of his par ty associates at the other end of the capi tal who had bum so uproariously ap plauded, lie culled attention to the dif ferences between the situation in the house and the senate. 1 e reviewed the events in the house which culminated in the passage of a bill with the 1 jss of seventeen Demo cratic votes in tint body. In the senate all was chang 3d. Every Democratic vot j was needed to pass a bill, if it was to be passed as a party measure and the members of tho finance committee went heroically to work to harmonize the dif ferences existing in the Democratic side. They had accomplished their purpose, to their everlasting credit, be it said. He had been one of those who had stood out for concessions in the interests of his constUueats. He made no con cealment oT his posit-on then and made none now. He taen proceeded to deliver a glow ing eulogy of it e tariif bill as it passed the senate, which, unlike the house bill, he declared contained no menace to the Industries of the country, and had not been framed by men from sparsely set tled districts, w w knew nothing of the great commercial interests of the United States. He asserted that the farmers of the house aud a large proportion of the Democi atic party were not tariff reform ers, they were free traders. Snat r Hul penki." Sir. Hill said: "A theory as well as a condition now confronts us. The theory of the Democratic party is that in the enactment of tarir? legislation, free raw materials should always bean essential and conspicuous element; it is our creed that the materials whwli enter our man ufactures aheul I be freed from tha bur den of tariir las -.tion. The best interests ot the manufacturer-' as well as tbe con signers of the l;.u 1 demand the recogni tion of this wise discrimination. "We are com jutted t this side of the question aud e cc 'inot retreat and we cannot retract We :ir honorably bound io redeem our professions and our prom ises. "Justice, &otwl f'ith, a decent regard for public ueitimeut all require tuis cournc. 'Until recently I had supposed tiiat ther was no dispute upon tnis question of principle, but that every Democaat worthy of the aarae was willing to con cede that if there was one thing more than auother to which the Democratic party was commuted, it was iu favor of thu doe.rme of absolute free raw mate rials. ht Hie P itfirm Salrl. The true and honest construction of every Democratic national platform foe twelve years past irrevocably commit us to t!iis just aud reasonable principle." r. Hill read tha Democratic national pltttform for l5l:i and continued: lo repeal tne McKinley in form sim ply; to re-enact it iu effect, is keeping this promise o the letter, but breaking it in spirit. The platform pointed with pride aud deliberately approved the laeasurea for free iron ore, free leal ore, frte coal aud frea wuo), which were pending in congress at the time of the convention. "The Democratic position was so plain and is so clear that he who runs may read. If any Democratic senator in any part of the couatry, forgetting the in terests of the whole land and subserving the supposed interest of a locality, promises the people of any state or sec tion that there would be an exception made to the enforcement of the general principle of raw materials when the Democrats bhould obtain power, l a ex ceeded his authority aud misinterpreted our position. It is said by some in justification cr excuse for their present action that the president's letter of acceptance in IS32 modified the extreme demands of our platform. It is true that somo portions of his letter may tend to bear that con struction. tlnv.Und Win Tlmoi-mii In 1 8!-;. "It was not that bold, ringing and ex plicit declaration in favor of the platform which his parly had a right to expect, but was regarded Ly many aa tiutd, cau tious and couset vative; but whether this criticism in or is not wed founded, the fact remains that he had not power or authority to change or alter one line or sentence or provision of the national platform which had baeu deliberately adopted oa the national convention duty assembled. ".No president can be above his party; no president can dictate to his party; do president cm chansre his party platform. But no matter what idea it may bo claim ed was intended to bo conveyed in his letter of acceptance in mitigation or mod.tlcation of the platform, here can be no doubt as to the resident 's position at this time upon this essential priuc.ple of free raw materials. Lei me read from the letter of tha president which was yesterday submitted to the house. It ex presses better than I can hope to do, the t-ue, sound and logical position of the Dt mocratic party upon tins question." Af.er reading extracts from this let ter, Mr. Hiil continued: ".ilr. IVesidiiut, I approve every word that 1 have quoted. It is a:a honest and manly statement of the true attitude which the party should assume in this crisis. "I am not required to defend the pro priety or the wiad nr. of the promulga tion of this letter at this par ticular time. It may have been indiscreet; it may operate as a firebrand to spread the flames of discord already kindled among party frie.tds, honestly dillei infc, as I am dis posed to concede, upoa questions of pub lic Uiid party pol.cy. It v-as a time for diplomacy, statesmanship t-nd concilia tion, rather than recrimination, denun ciation and arraignment. But aside from the question of its mere expedien cy, I am here to defend the president's letter in so far as it demands that the party rtLail not be led astray into the vio lation of Democratic pleiges and princi ples Hill Kitlorx ti e l'rilen-. "Upon the qu?s:ion of fiee materials th-? pre3iil--:n i.J right and you know it You caun .t an swer tu arguments. You cannot successfully dispute hi proposi tion. Yoa cannot doubt his sincerity and patriotism. You must yield in the end to his views. You cannot stand up against the sentiment of thu Demo cratic masses of the county which will raily around the .resident in his contest with you upon thid particular branch of the subject. "The time to yield is now before there i.T further humiliation, embarrassment r.a 1 discord '.nr. President, having demonstrated that the true Democratic theory of reve nue reform requ.res that free raw ma terials should bo its distinguishing fe i ture, let us next inquire what is the con dition which now confronts us. The seriate bill which was passed vio lates this Democratic theory, and while it reduces the auty on iron, coal, lead aud somo other raw materials, from those im posed under the McKmley law, and in that respect is commendable, it never theless imposes some duties thereon, aud theieby fails to redeem our pledge. "The house of representatives, fresh from tne people which represents more distinctly and peculiarly than we do, the taxing power of the people, repudiates our bill and a Democratic president has emphasized that repudiation aud the condition which confronts us is on- of ex treme embarrassment Shall we sur render to the house while we can do bo honorably or shall we wait uutil we are driven to it. The House Wilt Not Retreat. "In the light of the letter of the presi dent, the house cannot honorably retrent. It has no other alternative except to in sist upon its bill wherein it pro vide? for free raw materials. The president cannot approve th sen ate bill after what he has said in this remarkable letter. He arraigns the senate and intimates that the enact ment of the senate bill but means 'party perfidy and party dishonor.' These are strong words which the president of the United Stae? would not ue toward a measure which he ever expected after wards to approve. "This letter, unusual and unprece dented in its character and method of promulgation though it may be, never theless clearly foreshadows a veto of the Semite bill, even if the house should finally concur in our amendments. What person would expect the president, to ap prove the senate bill alter its vigorous and scathing denunciation contained ia his letter. You would thick les of him for his glaring inconsistency. "No, this ietter is signiilcaat, it is a bold, vigorous e.-ea if imprudent letter. It means war to the knife against the senate bll. The president is right; there is no middle groticd which we can oc cupy. The senate must recede from its amendments." 3Ir. Vest Speech. Mr. Vest took the floor when 3Ir. Hill was seated. After the speech of the senator from New York, he began, it was a subject of congratulation that he and the president had ut last found a platform ou which both ccuid stand. Tne lion and the lamb had at last Iain down together and v. ere led as a little child by the ways and means com mittee. He left it to the other side which wps the lion and which was tbe lamb. The senator had said that free raw material was a cardinal principle of Democracy. The president went further and declared tha failute to place ra-sv material ou the free list was Democratic perfidy and dis honor. AVhy did net the senator from Xew Yxrk vote for fre wool, he asked: "I did not vote on several motions when the bill was in committee," replied Mr. Hill, "but I distinctly voted for free wool in the senate." "If my very soul was thrilling and pulsating for free raw materials," re torted Mr. Vest, sarcastically, "at tne peril of my life, I should have been on hand to vote on every rollcall for the cardinal principle of the Democracy." Mr. Vest then proceeded to read the letter of acceptance of President Cleve land in '92 pronouncing in favor of free raw material. Yet now he denounced free raw materiais'as periidy and dis honor. Iu scathing tone3 he arraigned the president He'had been his second, he had defended him on the floor of the sen ate when his frienia couid have been counted on the fingers of one hand. Where did the president get the right to dictate to congress. To denounce one branch of congress to the other. Did ha embody in his signal being all the De- j mocracy-, all the tariff reform sentiment I in this country. ?nr. Cleveland was a i great man" but the Democratic party was greater tnaa any one. I It had survived Jefferson, Madison, J JaoKsou; it would survive GroTer Cleve i land. Lnder what clause of the constitution dia itir. Cleveland get the rtgut aiier a bill had lieen cent to "full uud lree'; Con lereuce i.etween the two nouses to matie uu appeal to Us party friends to eland oy his iudiVitiudi views. -Mrs. AiaUiaou itad said in her memoirs mat, me cupiioi had "been piacea at una eud or tne aeuue and me V iiue Uoue at thw oLUer to prevent, me president lioni exercising an undue lutluouce ou tne legislative uraueu ot tne government li me preadeut could send nere to lus friends to stand turn, he iiad tne ngnt to send his cabinet miuio leis here to coerce memberd iu congress; he had a'rigut to do as lie had done during, tiie ngut over tiio repeat of the Snerman law, puiuh recalcitrant members ot his own party, it was a mockery to tali of a fuii aud tree cou lereuce when one ot the couferrees came r to tue committee room wun tne orders of the president, in his pocaet j Wat. p o t e m.h ul.i.rnesi, Mr. Vest spoKe with bitterness of the president's denunciation of ttie senate oul, wnich h.d ueeu passed after four months of such toil and as lie could never assume agam. Yet, he said, those who were instrumental in harmonizing the diirerences and bringing about us pas sage tariff relorftu-rs beiore Mr. Cleve land began his phenomenal career had beeu arraigned as traitors, who sougntto j dishonor lueir party. Personally tne. hill did not suit him. j He was a radical tariff reformer, Luc if he could no; get ail, no wouid taao what I he could get j "1 give it us my opinion," Ire declared, i in conclusion, -ihat we pass this bill or nothing.' "Do you mean to eay," asked Mr. j Aldnch, as Mr. Vest was about to take j his seat, "that you did not know of the existence of the president's letter for the Uiteen dajs during winch it remained ia Mr. v ilsoirs pocket?" "I do," replied Mr. Vest V?t Wt Am izqI. "And further, I desire to say that I know personally that both the president and Secretary Carlisle understood the i difficulties under which we were labor mg. M-. Carlisle saw the original 4o0 amendments and urged us to secure the passage of some bill at any sacrifice de claring the failure of all tariff legislation to be the greatest calamity that could happen to the Democratic party. Q 1 here fore v. hen 1 .first saw the presi dent's letter placing on ua the odium of framing a bill that means dishonor to the Democratic party to use but a mild ex pression, I was struck with infinite amazement. I am not here to defend, or attack the administration, but to pro claim the rectitude of our motives. "Tbf defense which the senator from New Y'ork has made of the p-e-":dent," added Mr. Vest, "reminds me of a des perate murder case which 1 once tried. The only defense I wa.s able to make was that the accused was suffer ing from such utter moral -depravity that be was absolutely incapable of crime. He was acquitted. Afterward he came to me to thank me for the ver dict In doing so he said, however, that he would rather go to the penitentiary for life than again listen to the defense I" made for him." Laughter. Senator Gray followed, urging that the senate insist upon its amendments. He intimated that in his advocacy of fiee raw material the senator from New Y'ork (Hill) was insincere. He had never, in the Joug conferences of Democratic sen ators that preceded the adoption of this bill, raised his voice in behalf of free coat and iron ore. An angry colloquy between the two senators ensued. Senator Vilas moved that the senate recede from the sugar differential. The motion of Senator Vilas to strike our the one-eighth of a cent per pound differential on refined sugar caused a great deal of uneasiness on the Demo cratic side. This one-eighth was re tained in the bill by a bare majority of one vote. Mr. Mills haspeclared hia intention of supporting the motion of Mr. Vilas. The Republican senators are reticent, most of them saying that as they voted to strike out the oue-eighth before, they cannot change their position. Senator Brice says he thinks the mosion will be mod. tied so that Republicans will vote against it Senator Manderson intends to move as n subsiiiure for all motions pending a motion to instruct the senate coulerrees to withdraw from the conference until the caairman of the house conferrees ns beeu replaced by some other member of the house th.'n ilr.

One Fourth of the Whole Num ber Are Sick. Guarded by Forty United States Deputy Marshals. A Disgrace and Infamy Upon ths Government. Denver, Colo., July 20.--A special .to the News from Fort Sidney, Neb., says: Ilio two hundred members of the Den ver contingent of the Coxey army who are here under arrest are liable to be afflicted with an epidemic of typhoid fever, ihe symptoms are already manifest, and there ate at least three well deiined cases of scurvy, caused by their present food and surroundings. The men have been confined more than a mouth in a small buildiug hardly large enough to accommodate one-half their number. Many of the prisoners have no blank ets or other covering from damp night air and are compelled to aieep on trie bare floor, whicn is overrun with ver min. They are without the most common conveniences generally granted to even the lowest class of criminals iu all pris ons. The sick call every morning brings frcm 2o to 50 before the doctor. The hospital is tuxed to its utmost capacity. A man must be very sick to get there and then lias to trust to luck for recov ery more than the treatment and medi cines. The guard house,however,is more easy of access and a slight infraction of the rules" entitles tuo victim to a thref days residence there on a strict bread and water diet. The men sr.i guarded by about forty deputy United States marshals, who al low no outdoor exercise except au occa sional bath in the creek. Two scant meals a day are given, consisting of boiled beef, often tainted, bread and so called eollee. Sometimes alleged "stew is given, consisting o the same beef, with an onion and a half potato per man. Tbe broth is thickened with il our. Generally the whole mass is bally scorched in cooking, and tastes l.ke burn ing hair. Once fish was given, salt as the ocaan, partly decayed and half cooked, with the heads and sc. ties left on. Beans and cabbage have been dealt out once or twice, but in such small quanti ties as to be scarcely worth mention ing. men were arrested at Big Springs, Nebraska, on J une loth, and were herded in this pen of filth for two weeks before a trial was granted. They claim that this trial was worse than a farce and strong ly resembled what they call "kangaroo'' juotice. None have thus far been informed of any sentence and several who pleaded not guilty are receiving the same treat ment as those who pleaded guilty. The latter claim that they were talked into making this plea on promise of speedy sentence aud removal from the pestilen tial quarters. L. A. W. RACES AT DEN'YEIJ.

STATE JOTJRXATa FRIDAY EVENING. JULY 20 1891. OlDli'TJEISH IT. The Senators Gre.itly Stirred Over Cleveland's Letter. Democrats Have Nothing at THE REPUBLICANS 31 A D They Say it Ought to Be Promptly Resented. Washington, July 20. The presi dent's letter to Chairman Wilson caused intense intorost among- the senators, although generally they were much averse to s lying- anything about it. Some of tk-s opinions of those -who would say anything1 are as follows: Mr. Hill "I prefer to say nothing1 at this time as to the propriety or wisdom of the letter. It comes rather late and may complicate the whole sit uation and defeat all tariif legislation whatever. If the president, instead of writing a letter, had ext-rted his influ ence to assist me ia g-etting- rotes for free raw materials the present un fortunate complication might have been avoided. I triis'; there will be more votes now for free raw materials when I bring- forward the proposition again in the senate, which I expect to do. The skies are bri glitening." Senator Brice I think it remark able the chairman of the house com mittee on ways and means should have had fuch a letter rea l. It is, of course, unparliamentary here for us to discuss a proceedi igr in the other house, but some wio.ied Republican may bring- it up in a way to force us to do so. So far as the sugar schedule is concerned, it is the administration schedule, and if the administration does not want it we may take tne Louse bill on the sugar question. It is the fabric of the bill as a whola that we are concerned with. Senator Murphy "I do not care to criticise the president. We will an swer the president with our vot?s. Republicans were far more willing than Democrotic senators to express opinions on the subject. Their esti mate of the letter was fairly sum marized in the words of Senator liaw ley (Hep. Conn.), who said: "It is the greatest mistake ever made by a president of the United States and ought to he resented." SENATE l'KUCELDI.VGS. The Tariff and tli Indian Schools Ques tion 1'p for Consideration Washington", July 20. When the senate met yesterday. Mr. Allen, Pop ulist, of Nebraska, introduced a reso lution calling on the secretary of state for information as to whether any cilice or bureau has been estab lished on Kllis Island, Xew York har bor, or any other property of the'gov erntneut, for the purpose of furnish ing information to Italian or other immigrants relative to employment, and whether the expenses of the bu reau is borne by flu United States. It was snt to the committee on im migration. Mr. Voorhees, the senate manager of the conference on the tariff bill, rising- to a privileged question, asked the house message on the tariff bill be laid before the senate. Mr. Vor hees stated he was commissioned to say the bill had been under full and free conference and the conferrees had not agreed to the amendments agreed to in the senate and that the senate conferrees insisted on their amendments. Having- consulted men on both sides he fcaid, he should ask to have the bill lay on the table, to be taken up for consideration to-day immediately after the reading- of the journal. Mr. Hill thereupon cave notice that at that time he should move to in struct the conferees to place coal and iron on the free listtiui that he would at the same time submit some re marks on the question. Mr. Manderson, Republican of Ne braska, inquired whether there was not a communication from the presi dent on the subject. "None that I have," replied Mr. Voorhees, and the raotion to lay on the table was then agreed to. When the tariff bid had thus been disposed of, the Ind an appropriation bill was then taken r.p. An amendment vas agreed to di rect! ng the-secretary of the interior to inquire iato the propriety of dis continuing the Indian coutract schools as rapidly as possible without interfering- with tha education of the Indian children, and to report at the next session of congress an estimate of the cost of substituting g-overnment sehocls for all the contract schools now existing-. A farther amendment was adopted ap propriating $15,636 due the Wyan dotte Indians to purchase lands in severality from the Quapavv Indians in Indian Territory for absentee Wyandotte Indian. The bill was then passed. At 5:45 the senate went into execu tive session and shortly after ad journed. Woman Charge t Mlth Horse Stealing. Skdalia, Mo., July 20.

Washington, July 20. Claude M. Johnson, the chief of the bureau of mgraving- and printing, to-day re ceived from Secretary Carlisle his ap proval of a new desig-n for the one loilar certificates. The design represents history in structing youth. History is repre sented by a female figure in a reclin ing position, with her right arm around the youth and the left arm extended forward, pointing toward the city of Washington in the back ground showing- the dome of the capital and the Wasl.ing--ton monument. The open pag-es of a book on the other end of the note contain the constitution of the United States. The border con sists of wreaths extending all arcund the note, in each of which is the name of some prominent man who has figured in the history of the country as a statesman, author, inventor, soldier or sailor. OPENED BY A SAFE fl LOWES A Joliet Convict Called Upon to Do a Job for an restate. Joliet, 111., July 20. When the late George Stewart of Wilmington died he had many thousand dollars' worth of securities, money, etc., locked up in his safe, of which he alone had the combination. When the executor, N. M." Stewart, began administering- the estate he could not get into the safe. After consulting Warden Allen, he sent the safe to the prison. The most expert safe cracker in the country, who is serving a long term, was shown it, and looked it all over. "Can you open safes?" was ask ;d. "That's what g-ot me in here," the convict replied. The man seated himself in front of the door and gave the handle several lively Jwists. Then he began it job which occupied over an hoar but which ended in his throwing- the door wide open.

MONEY FK031 INCOME TAX: Senator Hill Estimates the Amount From the Bureau of MatUtlo. i Washington, July 20. Senator Hill lias received a long- letter from Wcrthington G. Ford chief of the i bureau of statistics, in which he states that the possibilities of the revenue that can bo raised from the income tax ranges all the way from 5512, 000,000 to 30.000,000. He thinks that the latter figure is the highest which can 'possibly be hoped for, and the last few years the collections would fall below 815.000,000. He also expresses the opinion that tho rev enue which will be collected on pri- vate incomes will not be more than suhicient to pay lor collections. j Strike liroitea in Montana.

The Evidence is Very Damaging Aerainst Them. j TRACED TO A. It. U. 31 EX. The Boy Driving Accused to SacramentoWreck Testifies. TVoodlajtd, CaL, July 20. The pre liminary examination of the five strikers charged with murder, as the result of the recent horror at the rail road trestle west of Sacramento, was resumed yesterday. The judge settled the first point of the contention by ruling that the five prisoners must ba examined jointly. The case of Wor den, however, was finally permitted to g-o over until Monday. The hear ing of evidence against Knox, Mullen, Hatch and Compton, all members of the mediation committee, was then begun. Johnny Sherburne was first called, and proved a telling wit ness for tha prosecution. He is a 14-year-old boy who is in the employ of j a Sacramento livery man. The lad 1 says that on the forenoon of the day of the wreck, he drove Word en to the outskirts of Sacramento, and took into i his waron a crowbar, wrenches and other t ools. Latr Worden was joined by live other men whom the b y did not know. They then set out for the trestle at which a train was wrecked and live mn killed, anil when within a few rods of the trestle all the men left the wag-on, taking their tools with them. The lad sa'd that h was then or dered to drive a short distance toward the city. He did as instructed, and, while waiting heard a loud ex- I plosion. Soon afterwards Worden i came up and the boy drove him back to the citv. As th :y were entering Sacramento they were told that a train had just been wrecked. When told that Engineer Clarke had been killed Worden applied a vile epithet and declared that he was glad of it. A sensational climax came, how ever, v. hen young Sherburne testified that on the day following the wreck his employer sent him to Worden with a bill for the team. Worden went with h m to the office of the A. It. U. mediation committee in Sacra mento, and there the bill was paid. The boy was on the witness stand all the forenoon and under a severe cross-examination was not shaken. MORE A. 11. V. INDICTMENTS. Debs and Ills .Associates Have More liarsjea liled t'p Against Them. Chicago, July 20. Th: federal grand jury returned twenty-three in dictments in Judge Seaman's court yesterday afternoon and was dis charged. In the twenty-three indict ments were included the names of about seventy-five individuals, who are charged with violating the federal statutes during the railroad troubles of the last three weeks. District Attorney Milchrist refused to give the names of any of the in dicted persons bej'ond admitting that there were several new indictments against Debs, Howard, Keliher and Eogers, the chief officers of the rail way v.nion. Included in one of the indictments also are officers of the organization who have not been so prominent as the four now in the county jail. The others who gj to make up the seventy-five are btiikers against whom are charged specific acts of interfer ence with trains or other property of the companies. Debs and the other officers are in nearly all the twenty three indictments. Whenever the grand jury concluded to indict a baleh of rioters who committed speci fic acts, such as the derailing of trains, Debs aud his companions were named with them as conspirators. No indictments were returned aq-ainst railroad officials because no informa tion was given against them. THE STKIKE I.V CALIFORNIA, Debs Informs the .Men They Cau Declare It Off by a Vote.

To the Shrewd Paris Police Official There Was Something Tragic About It. Paris is just now shaken with unholy mirth over the tribulations of a commis sary of police. A certain lady went to the Bon Marche the other day and stole a quantity o valuable lace. Bhe was arrested forthwith and turned over to the police. The culprit was invited to dine that evening and begged the au thorities to let her notify her expectant host, but as the authorities are not ten der to thieves they calmly ignored her request. That evening 2.1. Prelat, the police official from the left bank of the Seine, hired a cab and went to the guilty woman's rooms. There ha found so many stolen gooda that he rummaged through the entire place, and packing all the stolen effects in a big black trunk got his cabman to aid him in taking it down to the car riage. The next morning the gentleman whose dinner was spoiled by the absence of his fair guest called to see what was the matter. He rang and pounded tra availingly, so the concierge produced a pass key, and they both stood aghast at the terrible condition of the apartment. The case was plain. A malefactor, prob ably an anarchist, had got in on some pretext. The disorder of the room do noted that his victim had fought desper ately for her lifo, but he had murdered her and stuffed her corpse and all the valuables he could find into a missing black trunk. The friend flew off with cries of de spair to notify the police of the quarter of this awful crime. The concierge, re lated the whole affair to a knot of cu rious bystanders, which speedily ex panded into a clenso crowd. The police took down the description of the crimi nal who stole the black trunk and the description of the cabman who drove a white horse, ordered the locks changed on the apartment so that no one could enter without the knowledge of the po-li--o and then withdrew with dignity. Half an hour later, while the crowd was still staring at the murder stained house, the cab with the white horse drove up to the door, and the supposed murderer alighted. He was instantly denounced by the irate concierge, and being utter ly unconscious of his own supposed mis deed was nearly lynched before hesufii cieutly realized the situation to produce his police badge, when the crowd re spectfully dropped him. Wo rather dis like the police in Paris, but wa certain ly stand in wholesome awe of them. The unoffending commissaire then found himself locked out of the apart ment, owing to the precautions of the police, and was forced to send for his colleague to open the door for him. His search for stolen goods vas successful, as he netted about $3,000 worth. The only people inPuiiswho do not perceive the farcical side of this situation are, first, M. Prelat, who came near being lynched aud was knocked about rough ly by the mob for the perpetration of a crime that never was committed; the officious friend, who raised all this both er, and the lady herself, who is gloomi ly meditating behind prison bars on the inconvenience attendant on her breach of the eleventh commandment, "Thou shalt not. be found out."

Mr. Enloe, after lx:ing badgered 0:1 the subject almost beyond nduranw, finally dr 'ared in favor of a court of claims, with plenary powers, to have original jurisdiction in ali ca.-s without action by congress, appeals to be taken therefrom to the supreme court on points of law anl tho decision of this court to he final. It is also proposed that the district court? of ihe United States Khali have jurisdiction of all such cases within the'r uistr cte. Joe Cannon says that both these measures would not re lievo th me:nb'i-s from importunities; that congress wou'd still have to attend to such busbi?ss. "Call it what you will," (Mrs lie. "call if p-.rertmlHin or socialism, federalism or rheumatism, but congress is hero to attend to business for the people and must do it. This body must make up its mind to sit through the year, with only a vacation liko any othr body of business men, and it must attend to tho interestsof constituents." S the prospeet3 aro that these claims will still be troublesome ia the twentieth century. Oi!tloB of Adjournment. The foiling t'wti congress coald adjourn at ni-y time, if tie turtff bill wei"e out of the way, forced at tion, :ind Senator Halo's resolution calling ..a the conferees for fomtthir.jf decisive was only an expres sion ot what both sides felt. It was charged by the Democrats that the ma jorlty party had ai-tod separately feom t!:e minority in former conferences, but the testimony of old members showed that 1 he practice always has been for the full c,)im,it..o to meet and thn divide for a lew days, each party caucuring alone. Thus the ooiiff.rct6 on the McKin'ey bill ni-t soon after theywero nppointed, and then the Republicans held private mect igs tor a few days, after which the full committee met for Actual business, and the e inferences were socn settled. Members of the house aro really feverish in their impatience over the delay and speak of this as near the end of a 10 months' ses (.'uii. "We coald and would hava ad journed today, with everything in good shape, if those ie lows had only acted," ia a common expression in tho house. And jet there is a vast amount of busi ness of general interest still untouched, r.nd early this neck those having it in charge pave up t ie struggle and conceded that it i.iust go e ver to the short session. There is the Nicaragua canal bill, for which the committee on rules has resolute ly refused -o set ft day, and Messrs. Mal lory and Geary do not hope to get it up be fore next January. The bill for funding the Peel Ac railway indebtedness has also goua to the tomb of the Capulets, as Sen ator Cullom has told us from the start that it would. Ho still Insists, though the house com trjlttt e will not a Imit it, that the bill is as far !ontf as it evir will bo in this congress All tha Tucker bills on tho constitution also go over till rest, Jan Mary or later, and If one may j .tde by tho current talk of tho members they wiil eil fail.

He didn't know what was the matter with him, but he graphically said that he was at dcath'sdoor and could hearths han dle being turned the other faide to give him admittance. Mr. Quagnles wouldn't see a doctor. lis hud a peculiar aversion to doc tors, especially to their bills. Some people were unkind enuugh to say that Mr. Quag Clcs "put oa" his illness. One day Mrs. Quagtfles found a little pamphlet which had beu thrust under the front door that had baen iued by a firm of patent medicine venders, wherein the tymptoms of various ailments wera mi nutely described. After perusing it she took it to her husba-ad and said: "Thomas, you olu Rod out what is tha matter with you b7 reading this little book." 'Reading that!" exclaimed Mr. Quag glea contemptuously. "Why, my symp toms wouldn't go in a fsw pages like that It would take three vciimos to describe 'era. However," he added, "you can read fcotxie symptoms to me, Jemima. 1 dont feel equal to doing it myself," and he leaned back in his armchair, sighing heavily. "Mj gracious, I do feel bad!" be moaned. So Mrs. Quaggles began: 'Pain in back and uudir shoulder blades: frequent headaches, principally over eyes.' "That's raei" groaned Mr. Quagnies. "Yep, that's you, Tbamaa," assented Mrs. Qaaggies and went on, 'Depressed aud languid feeling; burning of the palms of the hands and soles cf the feet.' "Me again. You could cook a steak on mine," declared Mr. Qtxaggies. 'Aversion to physical exercise.' That's you, Thomas," declared hia wife. "Y'ou're frightfully lazy." "No, no, Jemima; that's not me," disten li ed the invalid. "I'm not a bit lazy, only my poor, feeble body won't let me take any exercise. Goon, Jemima. Your voice puts me in mind of the 'Dead March Iu Saul.' 'UnpleasaDt dreams,' continued Xvlrs. Quaggiee. "If-ather! Why, I have such awful dreams that I believe they lift some of the hair off my head every niht. That's why I'm sett ting to bald," fca said mournfully. "Oh, dear! Oh! dear!" And Mr. Quaggles sud denly started out of his chair and grasped the op of his Lead. "Whatever' the matter, Thomas?" asked his wife alarmedly. "Vv'hy, I had a pain shoot right up from my big toe to the top of my bead." "Goad gracious, what a long paiu!" ex claimed Mrs. Quaggles. "You're over six feet, you know, Thomas!" "Yes, and it ain't finished yet. It keeps coiling round and round ray head," groan ed Mr. Qua.sgles. "Doesn't it give that symptom, Jemima?" "No. I can't find anything about thesen serpent," giggled Mrs. Snaggles. "That's what you. must have inside you." "Jemima," said Ik-t husband reproach fully, "is this a time for heartless levity, when here I am with one foot iu the grave and the other one clipping down the side of it? What do all these terrible symDtoaas point to? Ia my heart Koirig to drop to pieces, are my lungs goiug to burst, or what?" "Liver, Thomas! It's your liver that's wroiig, so far as I can make out." "Ah, I thought .sol That's why I can't eat. There'e 110 room for food in me. The space is all occupied by my liver. It Las, fo tp say, taken the whole house instead of living in oie apartment, as it ought to do. I teil you, Jemima, I've got enough liver to go with a side of bacon, and then there would be some left to eat cold alone. I'm doomed, dear. I'll vaake my wiil at once, though it is but litll I have to leave. You hud better go round to i.he undertaker and get an estimate for a funeral a plain one, yoa know and" There was a tap nt the door, and the serv ant entered with a letter for hr master. Mr. Quaggles took it languidly, but had only read a few words when he jumped up and began to execute a war dance. 'What's the matter, Thoma,? Is it that long pain again?" anxiously inquired Mrs. Quaggles. "No, nol What do ycu think? Poor old Uncle James isdead and has left me 5,000!" "You don't, mean to say so? How good of him to die I mean to leave you 3,0001 But, Thomas, wfcat a pity it has arrived too late!" "Arrived too late! What do you mean, Jemimas'" "Why, ain't you just going to die, Thom as?" "I don't know that I am. I can change my miud if Hike, can't I asked Mr. Qua gles somewhat indignantly. "But how can you possible live with that awfui liver of yoursT-" persisted his wife. "Liver be hanged:" exclaimed Mr. Quag gles. "If iJS.OC'J won't cure it, it isn't worthy to be called a liver. I tell you, Jemima, I'm .5,000 going to fancy, 5,000 get well right awayl Whoop! Five thou.-and pounds!" And strange to say or perhaps not st range to say Mr. Quagglea recovcre i with mar velous rapidity. He is now one of the heailu icst aud happiest men iu the Urited King dom.

JOHN EATON'S VIEWS On the Letter of Cleveland to Chairman TFIisou. John A. Eaton, the well known Win field Democrat and lawyer is in the city. "I am considerably surprised at Cleve land's letter to Chairman Wilson, which was presented to congress," he a id. "When Tyler vetoed the United Slates bank bill he made somo suggestions to congress about what should be done, and he wa3 taken to task by Henry Clay for infringing on the constitutional right of congress. The eeutiment was unanimous against the presidant for his action. "The president has the veto and all lawyers recognize that it is out of hie province to make any suggestions what ever as to the duties of the lav making branches of the government. "Another thing that surprises me," continued Mr. Eaton, "is tho let ter written by Judge Cooley to the president congratulating hint on his action in the strike business. Judge Cooler has written a book on con stitutioual limitation and he has always held that the functions of tho govern ment are separate and distinct pud he has been recognized as authority. Now he congratulates the president for usurping the powers of the judiciary." AN EXPEMEXCE MEETING. The Crusaders Will Have Otlioials JEx plain Why Laws are Not Enforced.

He asked the young woman if she wanted the hose fixed. 'What will you charge?" she answered. 'The man looked at the hose critically and then said he would re pair it for fifteen cents. This was contrary to all traditions relat ng to plumbers prices, so the young woman told the man she did not believe ho was what he represented himself to be. "Still, she said, "go ahead and fix the hose." "The man took out his tools and soon had the hosa nearly as rood as new. The miss gave the man fifteen cent3. lie shook his head and said he wanted forty-five. "Why, said the young woman in eurprise, 'you said you would do tho work for fifteen cents.' 'Yes, I know.' he returned, 'but there was more work than I thought.' "Well, I was afraid you wasn't a plumber when you first came up, but now I know you are, and am willing to give you a certificate to that ef fect,' was what the young woman said when she gave the man his pay."

CULUTH THE MUNICIPAL MARVEL OF THE LAKE SUPERIOR REGION. The Town Rendered Famous la 1871 by Proctor Knott's Matchless Sarcasm Efas last Laid tbe Cornerstone of a S330.000 Board of Trade Ball dinar. Two hundred and five years ago a French naval officer named Jean du Luth visited the region bordering upon the western end of Lake Superior. He was greatly impressed with its natural beauties, and he wrote enthusiastically concerning them in his letters describ ing his travels in the wilda of the new vorld. Du Luth's enthusiasm -was richly merited, for this world affords few more beautiful land and water scapes than those of the Lake Superior region. He was almost as rreatly struck by its re sources a3 by its comeliness, and in this ho was also justified, but it took man kind a long time to utilize them. In 1800 there were but 71 white inhabit ants at the spot where Du. Luth pitched his chief camp and which received the name of its chief white visitor, and there were but few more when in 1869 it was decided to make it the eastern terminus of the Northern Pacific rail road. But the dormant energies of the place were only awaiting the magio im pulses that follow the advent of the iron horse. In 1870 Dnluth had a population of 3,131 souls, of whom I,8u5 were of MP: II PROPOSED BOARD OF TRADE BUILDrNO. foreign birth. In 1873 the number had grown to 5,000, and the increase has been practically constant ever since, al beit there have been occasional reac tionary lapses following periods of over booming. When tho cornerstone of the new Board of Trade building was laid the other day, the town bad for years passed tho experimental period, as is evidenced by the fact that the contracts for the structure call for the expenditure; cf ?330,000. It is not so very long ago that the claims of those who foretold a great fu ture for Duluth were laughed to scorn by those who had not properly considered them. Tho most famous piece of fun poking iu connection with Duluth was the speech delivered in January, 1871, by Eon J. Proctor Knott of Kentucky, then a member of the house of represent atives at Washington. The occasion of its making was a resolution for the ex tension of the time allowed for the com pletion of a ritilroad to the young city, and the addiess was such a masterpiece in its way as to attract the attention of the entire civilized world. It was dur ing this spocch that Mr. Knott dubbed Duluth "The Zenith City of the Un saltcd Seas." His words embodied the most extravagant but sarcastic prophe cies as to tho future of the town, but they rnaclo Duluth famous and actually helped its progress amazingly. They also e stablished Knott's reputation aa the wit of the house. It has been often stated that the speech was really written by that agile pf-uned promoter, P. Donan, with the intention of assisting the Duluthian boom, and it has been pointed out in support of the story that Knott never after delivered a similar speech. Those who know him best say that there is very little probability that Donan was the author of his address, and those who are familiar with Donan's style agree with them. Mr. Knott's speech was not besprinkled with such profusion of polysyllabic gems as Donan's produc tions always show, and in manner and phraseology it was similar to many aft er dinner addresses that have teen de livered by tho Kentuckian. The reason he has never delivered another similar public speech is believed by his friends to lie iu the fact that he realized that he had made the mistake of his life in allowing the comic muse to dominate him when on tho floor of the house. Duluth's indignation because of this attack was intense at first, but it van ished as soon as it was seen that the ef fect was good and not bad. In 1890 the Kentuckian was made the guest of the city. A public reception was held in the daytime, and iu the evening there was a grand banquet, at which he was the chief speaker. He then embraced the opportunity to taka everything back, and his remarks were received with the ntuicst enthusiasm. The Duluth board of trade was organ ized in 181 by nine business men. A handsome building was put up in 1885 Bt a cost of 115,000, including site. In February this struct ure was destroyed by fire, and the site, which cost $10,000 in ISSo, would now sell readily for $60, 100. There are not many towns in the United States in which real estate val ues of 1S'J4 ara so much higher than were the values of 1S85. The member ship of tho Duluth board of trade at the present time is 1 8 5. Last year the wheat receipts aggregated 82,910,000 bushels, the flour receipt?, 6,979,000 barrels, 2, OSS, COO of which were ground in the local mills. The wheat shipments for 1893 weie 33,700,000 bushels and the flour shipments 6,002,000 barrels. The harbor of Duluth is now visited by seagoing vessel that make their way thither through the St. Lawrence, the great lakes and the Well and canal. It was at Duluth that the first whaleback boats, the "carrying craft of tha fu lua," were first built.

Old man Sam was sitting one morn ing in front of his cabin enjoying the warmth of the sun, while his two lit tle grandsons played about his feet. Just then the two young sons of his former master, who were visiting in the neighborhood, strolled up to hava a chat with Sam. After talking with him a while they handed him a bag of tobacco and a handful of cigars, and were about to leave him when they observed the children, and one of them asked whose they Wire. "Dana's my gran'sons, Mimy's boys," replied Sam. A sudden thought 83emed to some to him as he looked at the young men, and a crafty look crept over his face as he added: "Dey's named after you and Mars' Andrew, Mars' Milton, 'cause dey's twins, Jes' tike you is." The brothers comment ed on the fine looks of the children and their wonderful difference in size for twins. "One twin ginjrally is bigsrer'n t'er one." explained Sam. The young men smiled and gave each child a quarter as they left. They had scarcely turned the corner of the cabin when they saw through a crack Sam take the two coins from the children, look at them, and with grunt of disappointment at what he considered the small return of his ar tifice, drop them into his own packet. "Mirny," he called to his daughter standing in the door, "you call dem chillens Sam an' Jake, same ez you i always done. Day ain't no two-bit chillen. Hit's wuth a dollar to change dey names, an' I had to make 'em twins, too." Ladles' Cards. A lady's card should be very nearly square, a moderate size, fine in tex ture and, needless to say, white. If married, Mrs. should precede the I name on an engraved card, and tho j husband's nam.) should be given In j fall. The address is printed in tha lower leit nana corner an t taa en graving is invariably in plain script. When th 3re are daughters, the elder Is entitled to a separate card as, "Miss Curtis," for example only aftr one or two seasons in society. Up to that time she is supposed, and her sister also, to call only with her mother, upon whose cards their names appear. Oldest I.lTlajj Actress. The distinction of being the oldest living actress in the United States is said to belong to Mrs. Rachel Cantor, whose home is in Philadelphia, but who is at present in Boston. She is 83 years of age, and until a dozen years ago she was on th.3 stage. Mrs. Cantor is an Englishwoman. She made her American debut a a mem ber of the elder Wal lack's company, and she subsequently supported Booth, Forrest, and all the ieadin? actors in legitimate drama in her time. Her last appearance on the f.tage was made in Boston in the early '80' s. Queer Nest of the Tontobane. The oddest of all birds' nests is the one built by the tontobane, a South African songster. It is built of cot ton, and always upon the tree pro ducing the material. In constructing the domicile the female works inside and the male outside, where he builds a sentinel box for his own special use. He sits in the box and keeps watch or sings nearly all the time, and when danger comes in the form of a hawn or a snake he warns the family, but never enters the main nest. Fersian Way of Eating Watermelon. "The ordinary Persian, bill of fare sounds something like the banquets described in fairy tales," said G. T. Barnes lately. ''While traveling in that country I found that the best overture to a wayside repast is a watermelon, not cut in slices as is done in this country, but eaten like an egg, one end being cut off and the contents eaten with a. wooden spoon, the roseate fluid trickling all the time t the bottom and affording a fragrant drink when the first course ia over."

They Have a Creator Influence en Health Than Most I'eople Think. It has been stated that a young lady went one day to an oculist with trouble in her eyes which threatened frightful results. She was already in a state where reading was out of the question, and other entertainment was fast becoming a torment. The oculist looked at her with his profes sional wisdom, asked her various questions, and then suddenly amazed her by asking her to put out her foot. The foot, in its kid boot, with a wicked little high heel, was thrust forth. The doctor eyed it a moment with a stolid face. "Go home," he said, "and take off those heels. Keep them off for a month, and then come to me again, and we'll see how the eyes are." In a month the eyes were well, and the young lady learned by her ex perience and a little wise talk how near she had come to having no eyes at all. It serves to show that there is the possibility that with that in strument of torture constantly at work in the center of the foot, where so many delicate nerves and tendons lie that are so intimately connected with all the other delicate nerves of the body, there must presently come disarrangements and disease that may work fatal mischief with the health. THE DOG ON GUARD. A Canine Member of tbe J'oitoffice De partment. One of the postoflice officials of Bos ton is the owner of a bulldog that he would not part with un Jer any cir cumstances. This dog considers it his special duty to ride to and from the depot and postoflice on the rn lil wagon and keep guard of the mail sacks. He has followed this custom for a number of years. One night, after the unloading of the mail car, he started to ride, as usual, on the ba rs oa the wagon, but when the postoflice was reached he was not on board. This was strange, for heretofore no temptation had ever been strong enough to lure him from his post. The sacks were de livered, and as the man called them over one was found to be missing. The wagon driver hurried back to look along the streets. After searching over a goo.1 part of the route he suddenly discovered tha dog sitting in the gutter wagging his tail, and evidently overjoyed at being recognized. On going up to him the driver found the dog sitting on the lost mail sack. He ha 1 evidently no ticed it when it fell from the wa;on, and had immediately jumped off and stood guard over it. Aprasm. Asparagus, deservedly a favorite vegetable, was extonsiv dy cultiva tid by the ancient Romans, but was not introduced into Kngland before 1(30. In some parts of Europe the seeds are used as a substitute for coffee, and a spirituous liquor is made from the ripe berries. Asparagus is both lithic and diuretic; and its roots were once extensively used in medicine. The young tender sprouts or stems, from six to ten inches long, are the edible parts, and those that are entirely green are the most tender and deli cate. The white asparagus is, as a rule, very tough, the tips alone being eatable. In some old recipe books di rections are given for boiling1 aspara gus one hour, but this is a great mis take. Twenty or thirty minutes is long enough to cook it sutliciently. Fisb Itacina;. Fishermen at "Wrigh tsville. Pa., on the Susquehanna, are talking of a novel swimming race between several kinds of fish. There is a great fiis pute as to which is the fastest swim mer aa eel, a black bass or a May sucker.

It happened one autumn that a farmer, Bill Hawkins by name, had gone to one of the numerous husking bees, taking- his gun. Placing it in a corner he proceeded to mix with the crowd and have a good time gener ally. Of course, refreshments were served, and Bill was feeling huppy when the party broke up. Taking up his gun, he started on his way home, singing. Suddenly the gun went off with a loud report. IIj was startled, as he couldn't remember having loaded the weapon. He con tinued his journey and his song, but just as he reached the end of a ver-e another report rent the night air. 1 With a look of surprise on his face he examined the gun, but could fin 1 no cause for its unusual conduct. Aft r this the gun punctuated his remark and songs with reports that increased in loudness every time. Bill began to get nervou:; and v as caryinpr his gun gingerly in Ins hand, when, with a terrilic roir, the trim again exploded. He jumped into tho air, and. dropping the g'in with a wild yell, broke into his swiftest run and never stopped until safe at home and in bed, where he remained shaking with fear all night. A few days later, while relating his experience to a crowd of men hanging around the store, he noticed a grin on the faces of his audience. D nianding an explanation, the mystery was suou solved. Some jokers had t iic n his gun and put in a big c' arge of pow der and then a thin slice of punk, then a smaller charge and another slice of punk, and so on until the gun was full, and just before li 1 1 st li t 1 for home they l.-glit-d the last pi -c i of punk. As Bill listened i cx.hv sion of deep digu..t sproad over h.s face. AN ADDITIONAL CHARG3. Lawyers In .Judge I'nder wood's Court Seldom Asked for It.

TV.t.leU and Other Hike Sprechm. The attendance at the suffrage meeting atGartiaiJ paric yesterday afternoon waa neither large nor enthusiastic, but it was earnest and patie it. Only betweea two and three hundrel people, mostly women, were there owing perhaps to the oft re curring fact that tiie event had not been judicious. y advertised. Tue exercises ?ere to have begun at 2:30, but as the management was even laure disappoints 1 iu tue matter of speak ers thau in that of an audience and as it was uecewary to wait for them, it was at least thrtp-q uarlurs of an hour later be fore Dr. Eva Harding ascended the plat form with other members of the 9ulfrage league mid aunouaced to the aui.eace their pre licament. Only two of the six billed to speak were preae.it, Mrs. Johns End Mrs. Diggs toth having failed to ap pear, it was tho intention, however, to go on with the meeting as best they coul 1. The first speaker was Mrs. I I. Smith of Ottawa, wlio is the state president of the Y. C. T. L". brie spoke of the limi tation of the ball it, and thought tiiat it was now too liui ted iu iJine d.rections Bnd too sweeping in others. There are men, she said, beiag born every rive min utes i:i this country in an atmosphere thnt will make the:n not one-tenth so able to cjpe with the moral and linaucial question of th nation, and not one tenth so able to aseri intelligently the rights of citizeaship as tne average woman of the day. She believed in the thinking woman because the thinking woman was sure to bear thinking, moral children. She believed that if woman had the ballot ehe could blot out forever the curse of in temperance. As iz is now, she said, the whisky element rules the country. "In the country there are 24'J,0')U suloons, all mortgaged to the breweries. These sa loons control in t leir own favor at least an average of fifteen votes each, or a to tal in tne country of 3,0011,000, nearly one half of the total vole of either of the old Ijart.es. If the woman got the ballot see what she coind do." II. U. iirowu was next called upon and eaid in subtanco: ''For forty years 1 have been in favor of female suifrage and in ail that tide I have never heard one argument ag mist it that was worthy of intelligent consideration. The argu ments that are advanced against it are cot of principle; .hsy are arguments of policy. On our side are nature's laws and God's purpose. Truth will at last control the earth. Has not women dune more for civilization thau man ever could? "What would tae church be today if it Lad not been for woman and her eleva ting influence? Would there have been a c:iurch? Woman has always uplifted man. How can we refuse her the privi lege of standing equally with us in the Lailot wnen we r-junzo that behind every prea; ma n at jod a mother? The hope of the future depends on woman' eleva tion. aat woman, is, the nation must be. "I am a firm believer in the law of heredity. A slare woman will bring forth a slave child. Have not the slave mothers of the aa t brought forth the slav es of monopoly that are at the head of our nation tod iv? No manly man can come of a degraded woman. The woman raises the child. It is nature's law that the child should belong to her, mid I say it is a curse to Ameri can civiiiz-ition that the courts give the child to the father. "Woman has certainly proven her abil ity t-j s'-n'id equU with man in every in tellectual way and yet no man can stoop to the depths a -o;uaa can in iniquity. Look at our womea lobbyists who otand about the halls of legislation and play on our lawmakers' I anest passions to accom pl all moit unhcl legislation. Raise her u b v o ibis. "it is said that woman cannot vote be cause she cannot tight. We don't want her to tight. It were better if we had no armed force m the country. The standing army is a menace to peace. "Ail eyes of the nation are on Kansa3 now. I know that suifrage is coming because God is will it and it is right, but it is necessary that Kansas should set t he example." Hon. Albert GriSn (the Republican) w a in the audienc e, and came forward and talked. He denounced Republicans for failing to put a sullrage plank iu the state plattorm, and aiso abused the mem bers of the party who had been in favor of suifrage but uad declared that tney would oppose it aow s.mply because the Populist had been wise enough to adopt it. It was simply petty spite, he said. At the close of Mr. Grutiin's remarks Z F. Ri.ey was called and talked along much tne same hue as Mr. Gntli.i. M rs. Lva M. Buokman of the Leaven worm board of pjl.ee commissioners had Oeen ou ttie platform all this time and was now called forward. Her speech was short but it whs to the point. Among other tuiug sue taid: "If it were true thai woman should be allowed to vote because she cannot tight and if suffrage should d -pend upon orute force, our es teemed friend John Lawrence Sullivan should have about tifieen vote while Rev. Lyman Ablott should not be enti tled to more t!iai half a one. "Whiie we certainly deplore the re cent labor disturbances, 1 feel that it has accomplished this good at least: It has awakened the women to a sense of what they can and stuuid do. Labor disturb ances tend to awake woman from her apathy and teach her that we need legis lation that will make Impossible the con ditions that will endanger the lives of her husband, brothers and sons." Mrs. Black ma i's speech finished the programme for the afternoon. At tha Evening Mtln. At the evening1 meeting the number of auditors was smtiier than in the day time. Willis Gleei was the speaker "of the evening but o'-vi ig to the limitations of the crowd and the threatening appear ance of th weather he cut his speech short. What there was of it was good, however. He said: "Opposition to suffrage is based on no reason at all; it is based sim ply on prejudice blind prejudice. Preju dice is like sleeping in an emigrant car, when you get up in the morning the car smells all right. A good many peo ple argue again it equal suffrage because it would be aa overturning of ancient institutions. la this country ancient in stitutions are getting used to being over turned. "I heard a young man say the other day. 'When my mother g-jta to voting I want to quit. I thought it would be a mightv good swap and I said, 'God speed the day.' Equal auJrage is tha right thing, the true thing and the thing we must have. I asked Mr. Overmyer the other day why he objected to female suf frage and he replied that he was afraid it would destroy woman's pwaet effemin ate nature. Laughter. Wornan doesn't need a law to keep her effeminate. You see the arguments have no reason in them. These people simply do cot want it so because they do not want it so. "It makes me think of a man going down to tue sea shore with a Bpoon to dip up salt water. I would as soon think of calling to him, 'Don't do that, you will make the ocean dry,' as to declare that giving women the right to vote would destroy her womanliness. W e don't have to ksep her womtuly. I don't believe woman was put here to keep man mas culine. Tt is narrowed down to this question with every man: 'Is my w ife my eqjalor is siie my inferior'.''' Is it poaioio that any man will boldly say by his course against equal sullrage that he ha9 mar ried a woman that is his inferior? Does he want that kind of a woman to be the mother of his children? I think net. "It is with the woman to train the com ing generation. She is tho nation's fu ture, Is it not right tuen that she should be allowed the privilege of registering her opinion on national questions once a year at her husband's side'.'" Mr. Gleed's speech was highly inter esting and the lad es would not alow him to escape until he had promised to liuish it at oLue future time. TO 31 AJiif ?.I 0 llllll 00 31. Fur Soling 11 i- Audiences ut tlia Clly far It. The city council has had the matter of improving the "speaking facilities" at the city park brought to its notice by a resolution introduced .it its last meeting by Councilman Bradford, asking that a committee investigate the building and seats at the park and report at the next meeting. The mayor put the matter in the hand3 of the committee ou public buildings and parks and a report w ill be made at the next meeting of the council. Mr. Bradford said today: "1 am iu fa vor of putting up seats that will aceomu modate 2.0JU or 13,000 people and enlarg ing the pavilion to about the size the Populists made it at their ra'.ly. "If the city liuances were not in such bad condition I would advocate the building of a canopy ov;r the seats which might be enclosed some time in the future, but that is out of the ques tion now. Tnere ought to be some place, however, which will accommodate large outdoor gatherings. "If such a building could be put up it would afford a place to hold political conventions and other large summer meetings. Topeka must 'awake to the fact that she cannot secure all these state conventions unless a hall cf some kind is provided. At the Republican conven tion half tiie people could not be accom modated because the hall was not large enough and still the convention was held in the largest hall iu the city." BATTERY 1J TO DISBAND. Political llif.'jrfiici'" In tlin Kinkl IJrln About Immoral 1 z itlun. There is a well founded rumor that Battery B, located at Top k i, and com manded by Lieutenant II. M. Pnillips, will be disbanded. 'I he reasons assigned ars that the bat tery is demoralized, and that Ihera is di- I vision iu its ranks cauaed by political I differences. I It is said that during the strike troubles teeeiai uieuiueia in tuo i-ai.t?iy oauio io the armory wearing the white ribbons which declared their sympathy with the striker, while the other faction wore the little flag which is taken to indicate the opposite. Nothing was said on the mat ter at the armory, tut some rather warm discussion took place outsiei Ihen there is another source of trou ble. E. S. Hunter is second duty ser geant of the battery, and ho is also cap tain of the Coxoy Home guard. When he accepted the latter position the com mander of the battery protested and took the uosition that iliu'er c.iuid not consistently occupy both positions. Hun ter refused to resign the captaincy of the Home guard, but when he mirched down the street with "General" Artz and the "army," the limit was reached, and LieuteuautPniilips applied forHun ter's d:scharge. The matter hung tire until last week, when the captain of the Hume guard assured the comman der of the battery that tiie guard was no longer doing active work, and that he regretted the part he had taken in the organiza tion. The application for his discharge was then withdrawn and harmony was established. At the meeting of the elate military board this week it is understood the question of disbanding the battery was discusse 1 ani while no action was taken by the board the matter wa) left in a condition not favorable to its continua tion. The greater number of the battery are Republicans. Lieutenant Phillips said when asked about the reported disbandment of the battery "I have received no word of any kind about it.' As far as dis-ensions in the ranks are concerned there is no truth in it and we have never allowed politics to be discussed in the battery." II i nil Canrert To n 1,1 tit.

ARE GA3ICLING DEVICES, Juln:e aHinlncr Decides oil tile Slot Machine C:-. The police court as a place of amuse ment waj very much a failure this morn iaar. The peopits of Topeka had been behaving themselvea duritisr the twenty four hours prior to 8 o'clock and there had been no arrests. Even Smoky How escaped representation. The only cased called were some that had been continued and there waa noth ing about them that was very interesting. George Morgan, who haa been on the docket since Wednesday, charged with fast driving, was the lirst to respond, lie had several witnesses, among thern J ames Clayton, who had been trying to pass -Morgan when he waa arrested. Clayton was also under arrest. Both were colored. Morgan pleaded not guilty, and stuck to it the beat he could, but even his own witnesses were againathim, and the judge in fining him $6 inciden tally remarked that he not only consid ered him guilty, but not honeat enough to tell the truth. Clayton pleaded guilty and waa fined fi which he paid. Morgan paid his also. The four slot machine cases were then called. These cases have been continu ed so much that it was determined to get rid of them. The defendants in the cases were Charles llavelin, John Fie ger, Henry Heiser and P. A. Wise. It should be understood that these men were arrested for maintaining biot ma chines without having paid the city li cense. In the case of llavelin and Heiser, who are partners, it was developed after much questioning on the part of City At torney llungate and a good deal of acro batic eloquence on the part cf Mr. heis er, although it waa Mr. llavelin that waa being examined (broken in upon with re curring frequency by the judge's de mands for quiet and threata of commit ment)that ttie machines in question were of the species known aa gambling de vices because they were chance games, hence without the authority of the city to collect a license on. The casea were then distniased at the suggestion of Mr. 11 ungate. Ine next case was that of John Fieger and P. S. Wise who were called upon to answer to the same charges set forth iu the other cases. It seems that Mr. Wise owns the machine in question as he dea several others, a;:d that he had placed it in the store of Mr. Fieger in North To peka. Thia was also decided to be a gambling device and the case was dis missed. Mr. Wise objected to having his machine referred to as a gambling de vice, but the case was dismissed jut the same. This ended the police excitement for the day excepting that Mr. Heiser and his oratory came back to abuaa the judge, the city attorney, the police force, Topeka and the world generally, but he couldn't land anybody to quarrel with him so he linally gave it up.

Kciouf of Virlztli' Historic Shrine 1 ThisaC'oiT.lnjjFastloa? ASwtUl i"oT Women Ums of Interest. The recent commencement at Cornell was the most remarkatla of any in the (university's history for one reason a Woman took the Woodford prize in ora tory, tl.a highest honor that can come to buy Cornellian. Sha is Miss Harriett Chediri Conner of Burlington, la., a idender, pretty girl, lut rnmistakably an orator. She had live male competi tors. It was because Miss Connor is an orator that she won tlis prize. Her sub ject was "The Letter and the Spirit," and it dealt exclusively with the provith of tolerance and liberality in religious thought. Woracncorr petitory for the Woodford prize founded 23 yeas ago by General Woodford of Brooklyn and consisting of u gold medal or luO in gold are not Vuicoraxaoru Tho men ntuuents outnum ber the women at Cornell by about four tor rive to one, und frequently and for several years in succession a woman has competed for the Wood ft rd. In the early eighties thero were two women -ompetitors for tho prize in one class, uud one of thera seenred "honorable mention." Until this year no cue has ever considered the wcinen seriously aa competitors, and n plaoe hes been given to them in the conta.t largely ont of compliment to the unrsnally good work they alweys do r Cornell. This year it was generally rocognizod Lft Miss Connor would be a dangerous oinpetitor for the men. She had won ser way to tho highest honors in Cornell, psul obtained a Phi Beta Kappa key and was regarded as ona cf the best speakers that had ever coma to Cornell. She had j roved her capabilities lonr before the Woodfoid prize subjects were ac nounced. The young m?n of 'D4 knew, therefore, who and what they had to meet when it was announced that Misn Connor would tiy for tho Woodford, "out when it be-t-ame known that Miss Connor was dancing at the senior ball the night be fore the competition and staying late, too, while mort of her competitors were liu their beds, the-your.g men's supporters took h-ait and srud taey guessed Miss Connor was done for. i Tho usual critical audience was in the armory. The y onag men came and went. They spoke well and received the usual applause. All, however, were self con nexions. They showed i hur nervousness, they always da Thpy were not ex inericnood speakers, although most of them were polished. I.ut the polish was plainly artnioia! and studied. Miss Connor's name was called. She Wi- dre.-se-d eu-.iroly in white proba bly her ball g ui;(i as shj stepped upon the platform and the audience Kiw her ei.se and tho almost wonderful ly pretty picture she made a tremendous outburst f applause was heard. She had wen half the battle before shespoko a word. When sho sta -t d to speak, her voice va somov? hat unsteady. She was tired from her sooiul pleasures, and she 'showed it. She pulled herself together quickly, and thn all treees cf seif con sciousness disappeared. She had views to present, and she seemed more desirous of convincing the audience of the seri ousness and truth of what she was say ing than of winning the prize. The prize wa.-: secondary matter apparent ly. She was earnest and not artificial. Her few restores steried spontaneous, and she had quite forgotten her gown and whether she stood on ber right foot while sha delivered this paragraph or on her left foot while slu spoke the other paragraph. Ih'i audience was absolutely fctilL Thera was no turning, no whis pering. 1 Mrs. Lease and Mrs. Foster never had mora attentive listeners. Every syllable was heard by every person in the audi ence of r.e:irly 2,000 persons. Her voice filled the place, and her inflection and emphasis seemed per fee-. When she fin isned, a 6tor-rn of applause shook tho building. The audienca declared her the winner without waitirg for the follow ing competitors, and the judges tried to sold themselves impartial to the end. When the derision was announced finally, the applause was tumultuous. Then Miss Connor beoaaie self conscious. She was in a whirl of congratulations, the people were excited, and she became the most marked girl that ever entered or graduated from Cornell. New York fcua Eastball Women. The avera.ee woman who attends the "ball games does not Inow much about scoring. She merely keeps a record of the outs aud runs by marking the figure "1" opposite the names of the players who make them, while a zero fills all other spaces on the s?oro card. Such a tiling i:s distinguishing between base hits and errors is far t x puzzling to be thought cf. But there uro some who can score as well as tho most accomplished critics. Ball players' wives generally excel in this respect. For year? Mrs. Anson, the wife of the famous Chicago captain, Kvhs tho official scorer of the club, and borne people were cm id enough to say that sha gave "Anse" tho benefit of the jiloubt to such an extent that he easily f.ed the League in batting. At the time lho identity of the club's official scorer j was unknown, but la:r, when it was .learned that. Mrs. Auson had been the official tibkeeper, everybody appreciat ed the joke. Mrs. Nash, wife of the 15ostnn captain, can ?ore a game very cleverly, and John Clarkscn's wife jknows more about baxiball than many men. the can also keep a correct score and knows wfam her hasband is pitch ing well or not. f Mrs. Fcutz, wife of the Brooklyn rnacaj'r, is a most enthusiastic lover of the garra. She knows tho rules, can ruck out good pii.ys aid chows aknowl JwiLjje ct -wka oo.ati.tc ta winning balL the ia particularly happy when the Brooklyns defeat the New Yorks, and when the game goes the other way she ia disconsolate. It'ew York Sun. If von are about to invest m a sifie- saddle to take with yen to the country, by all means tako one with a reversible pommoL There is a danger of becoming one sided if a woman rides a good deal. The remedy, or rather the prevention, lies in the saddle, which you can use either cn the left or on the right side. It was the Princess r f Wales who first set the example in this direction. Other English ladies followed the fasnion. In New York Miss Anna Brackets was the first woman to use a reversible pornniuL Now nearly all the children in well regulated families who rido are taught to rido in this way. Doctors jtdvocate the idea, and fashion seconds it. Miss Gertrude Vauderbilt and the children erf Dr. Seward Webb, who ride during the wint jr fiearly every after noon i:a the week at a riding club, have never been accustomed to any oth jr style of saddle. Mk. Duncan Elliott also prefers this kind. So does Mrs. S. S. Colgate, who rides to hounds. This is also the case with Mrs. Kearnochau (nee Stevenson), who, during the spring and auturrn, is often days, together in the saddle from 3 o'clock in the morning until late in the afternoon down at her country p lace at Heinpsteai' Mrs. Stuwesant Fish, Miss Rockefeller, Miss Bird and Miss Frances Bray ton Ives use saddles with reversible pommels. New Ycrk CVrre epondeut. Rescue of Virfiriaia'a Historic Slirines. From a condition threatening an al most total obliteration of much that is moat desixablo to cherish for reasons cf history and cf a just prido of lineage tho women of Virginia are now coming to the rescue. They are doing what they can to Biivo historic houses, to keep iu tact churches th it have surv ived from the colonial period, to restore and pre serve inscriptions in churchyards and cemett;ries, to collect and insure the pres ervation of parish and county records and other interesting manuscripts and documents, to find and keep the furni ture and household effects of the olden time and in short to save everything of antiquarian significance. When due re gret has been expressed for all that was destroyed beyond recovery from i860 to 1805, and for the far greater less due to the neglect during tho 25 yars follow ing the war, i is still truo that Virginia is yet marvelously rich in surviving historical subjects and materials. The task of checking the further process cf destruction is one iu which tho daugh ters of Virginia deserve the encourage ment of the whole nation. Review cf Reviews. Is This ft Comli!" Fashion? The mode of wearing clift't rent sleeves at tho same time is again striving to in trench itself. At the last smart London ball one of the fa,-hicr.able 3' aiers vp peared in a bodice of white brocade, cue eleeve of which duly matched tho gown material, while the other arm was in cased in yellow velvet, softened by a puff of satin. A second prominent wom an of the smart se t had, with a bodice of cherry colored velvet, the top of cr.e arm veiled in a fringe of cherries and velvet, while the other fitted into a small sleeve of pale blue gauze. A third member of the select few was charming, so it is said, in a gown of white satin, whose bodice, draped with pink cLtilon, was held up over the shoulders wih trails of black poppies. On the on is shoulder a pink rose spray stood upright, with folds of pink chiffon falling on the arms beneath and caught up into becoming draperies, the ether sleeve being of white satiu aud piuk chid'en. "A3 these state balls are prececfent of modistic novelties and conservatories of growing fashions, it is possible that harlequin sleeves are to be features of next season's gowns. A N w Club for We mm. The Victorian club in London was es tablished by a woman. She is now its president, its purpose is giving satis factory accommodation to women who go to town for a few di;ys and providing comfortable permanent homos f or pro fessional women at moderate prices. Subscriptions are on a very low scale, aud women in town pay a gninea a year, and members from the country contribute only 18 shillings. There is no pecuniary responsibility incurred, so the whole expense is within the limit of a very modest income. Small rooms can be obtained for half a guinea a week, and meals can be served marvelously cheap because there are so many mem bers. And the privilege of joining for one nicnth for 4 shillings is another ad vantage the club offers. Tluro are no restraining rules to interfere with the perfect independence of tho members. They go out end come in when they please and have free access to ail the club rooms. In fact, it is a residential club, founded on principles which must ap peal to every woman -who earns her liv ing. W sin f s tbc .Tobs Traded. IT. W. Ailen is a laan who lives iu Roekford, Ills. He travels for a whole pale grocery house. He has uwife and a baby. The other day h threw his shoul der out of joint. He had a trip mapped ont, that it was necessary should be made. His wife told him that if he would mind the baby she would make the trip for him. Ho laughed her to pcorn, but she was in earnest, and sle took his sample case and went the rounds. The result was that while he made a rathrr poor fist cf taking care of the baby she got 10 pages more orders than he ever secured in one cay in all the years he has been on the road. The firm has written to Mr. Allen suggest ing that he trade jobs with his wife per manently. New England Grocer. Looks Cool aud Charming'.

A. Ribbon Tlireader. Narrow ribbons threaded through lace or embroidery or wider ones under in sertion are such a distiuct featuro of present fashions that a new threader that has been recently invented and patented ought to attain speedy popularity. Like most useful things, it is really quite simple:, being a flat bhaped piece of motul, with a long shaped slit at the top, through which the ribbon is passed. The ribbon is held securely and kept en tirely flat and is thus inserted without crease or injury, while the threader is constructed especially to avoid tearing the iaec. It is made in three siz.es, suit able i'or the various widths cf ribbon. London Lady. Kate Ioulas Wigrgin. Mrs. Kate Douglas Wiggin, a well known society woman of New York as well as tho popular author of some clev er New England stories, is at present in London, where she is welcomed as an addition to th fashionable intellectual circles there. A writer in the last num ber of tho Psll Mall Budget says of Mrs. Wigjin that she is "tall and ele gant, dresses exquisitely and is tho very typo cf tho pretty and brilliant Amer ican. Mrs. Wiggin owes her success entirely to her own efforts, having onco laaght school in California. She is re EJ2iiibered thero as the founder of the fr.jo kindergarten eystem iu San Fran cisco. The Rage ITor Tiuciles. At this moment it i.s almost impossi bla to keep track of the new belt buc kles. Flowers are seen. An embossed crescent is a new buckle. Silver cable twisted into nautical designs is for yachting belts. Silver gilt and enamel aro seen in new designs. In this case the enamel is in sections, wreathed in gilt, in which manner it is very effect ive. Slides are almost as conspicuous. In many cases the slide is a single bar. In others it retains tho original form. Renaissance belts with cross sections held their own. Jewelers' Circular. Organdies and Aluslins. There is cne thing the wearer of or gandies and muslins must remember that is, to be extremely particular as to the under petticoats and skirts. The material is not stiff enough in itself to look woll for any length of time, and to keep a skirt hanging properly a very thin haircloth or moreen petticoat should be worn, or else under tiie silk slip a skirt of very stiff muslin -arefnlly starched, cr a taffeta silk, with several rufiles and a tiny steel tape run through rh3 hem.

"Well, remarked the royal Bengal tiger from his cage as he observed the elephant reach up to tho top of a wagon and got an apple, "if I had to put up my trunk for my board, I don't think I'd let everybody know it. "Don't you worry about mr-, retort ed the elephant, with characteristic bon homie, "I'd a blame sight rather put up my trunk for it than have no trunk and get it by wearing stripes." and tho rcyal Bengal withdrew to the farthest comer of his cell, where lie might not henr the elephant smile.

"Hey'r" asked Mr. Doe. have to speak louder, judge, The question was repeated, and Mr. Doe replied, "Weil, judge, I'm hard of healing, and I'm afraid it would be use less fcr rae to try to serve. "Can you hear an ordinary conversa tional tone?" asked the judge. "Hey?" exclaimed Doe, placing his hand behind his ear. "I say can you hear an ordinary con versational tone?" asked the judge, pitching his voice a little higher. "Well, it bothers me a great deal," repliecl Doe. "Then," er.id the judge in a low tone of voice, "we'll have to excuse yea if you can't hear well. Low as the tone was, Mr. Doe beard it, and he started away with a pleasant smile on bis face. "Wait, Mr. Doe," said the judge quickly. "If you can hear that, you can hear well enough to serve an a juor. We cannot excuse you. And John Doe collapsed and fell into the nearest chair. Goiden Davs. Tho Survival of the Fittest. Professor R. of Harvard has ofttimes need cf all his philosophy to bear with the mischievous precotiousness of his little son Christopher, the youth who distinguished himself some three years ago by turning the hose on the late James Russell Lowell. One of his last coups d'etat took place about two weeks ago. Christopher had been left alone in the house, end when a frieud of his mother came up the steps it was he who immediately answered tho doorbell. "Ah, good afternoon, Christopher," said Mrs. X., "and is your dear mother at home:" "No." curtly replied the boy. "Well," returned Mrs. X., "will you kindly remember to say to her that Mrs. X. called?" Christopher eyed her sharply and then answered slowly: "I don't know. There are so many things she would rather have me re member and that I would rather re member that, on the whole, I don't think I will." And he didn't. Kate Field's Wash ington.
