Says He Will Not Consent to Any Controversy WITH TILE EMPLOYES While the Koart is in the Court's II antls. Juilsre J. P. Johnson Wires Judi;e Caldwell THERE'S SO TRUTH In the Reports of a Cut in Wajres Or That Any Abrogation Contracts is Intended. of Judge J. B. Johnson, special master in chancery ia the Santa Fe foreclosure suit, has returned from Arkansas City w here lie has be en to hear the complaints of the strikers who were not taken back to work when the road resumed busi ness after the late strike. The judge's shadow was a little leas than when he left and he looked tired. "There were ne irly twenty of the cases," he said. "It is surprising how many railroad employes there were that were sick and could not work just when the strike began but who have recovered since. I didn't get quite done and three or four of them will be here tomorrow to tell their stories. No decisions have j beon rendered yet." i Judge J. B. J jhnson received a letter I this morning- from Judge Caldwell of the j United States circuit court, making in- quiries whether or not any action has been taken by the receivers looking to reduction of wages, or the abrogation of j existing contracts with employes. j Judge Caldwell writes that he ques- tions the prop.-iety of any such action j during tie tern purary control 01 me rail road by the court, and furthermore that if any such is taken, he desires to be present. Judge Johnson wired Judge Caldwell today in reply saying that the receivers ha"d taken no such notion as that referred to, and that no such steps "had been con templated or would be taken. Judge Caldwell, whose home is at Lit tle Hock, Ark., is now at Wequetousing, Mich. "'I deiif 6 to deny emphatically all of the newspaper reports concerning the pro posed abrogation of contracts existing between old labor organizations and the receivers,said Judge Johnson to the Jour nal reporter, and to deny the proposed re duction in the scale of wages under and provided by existing contracts. These newspaper rep'irtt,having reached Judge Caldwell, in Mi jhigan, where he is spend ing his vaeatio.i, he has written me a let- ter of Inquiry u pon the subject, asking for an investigation and report, and ac cordingly f have thoroughly investigated the subject, and have made inquiry from Vice President Robinson, Receiver Wil Bon, General Manager Frey. General Su perintendent Mudge, and other of ficers of the company, and have re ported to Judge Caldwell that there is absolutely no foundation for any reports heretofore published in relation to this mutter, and that, at no time, has any ob rogation of exiting contracts or reduc tion of existiag scales of wages been contemplated. "The statements, which have been published ia the papers, that contracts had been subndtted, requiring parties to abrogate their connection with existing labor organizations in order to ootain employment, are absolutely false, and no such contracts were ever prepared or submitted to aiyone. "Statements that a new schedule of wages had been submitted to the loco motive engineers aud other organiza tions, and had been rejected by them are also absolutely false, and nothing of the kind has been submitted, and conse quently could not have been rejected ns stated in the riports. Judge Caldwell is known to all those who are acquainted with him as the friend of the laboring man so long as the laborer obeys the laws of his country and lives up to his contracts, notwithstanding he can be severe in cases where laborers or others defy the laws and orders of the court, as evidenced by his decision in the troubles growing out of the A. R. I", strike. In his letter of ir.quiry Judge Caldwell says in substance that, tor the period during which the road would probably remain in the hands of the court the court could scarcely be justified in bringing ou a con troversy. Vith the men over the rresnt. Bchedul. a p" wages,' and expresses the desire that,ia case any such action is contemplated, to be notified in or der that he may be present to attend the bearing.' The employes of the road who have faithfully discharged their duties, nd the public" in general, may rest assured of the fact that no strike will be precipitated, or difficulty caused by any action on the part of the receivers or officers acting under them, looking toward a cancellation of existing contracts with the labor organizations, or any reduction f existing scales of wages." HOT AND HUMID. Th.rmomler Blarks t3 i the Air Fall of .Moiilur.. It is hot again today but the humidity makes it seem hotter than it is. At 2:30 the thermometer at the observing station indicated 62 degress. It is hard to be lieve but the temperature for the month ending last night was below the average for the past t ight years by three-fifths of oae degree. 'lhe rainfall waa below the average by fty-sLx per cent. WANTS NO MORE STRIKES. IJebi Say" Hereafter He Will Advocate Only thx Vse of the llllot. Terre Haute, August 1. A statement made by President Debs, of the Ameri Railway union, at the big reception and meeting held, here, attracts considerable attention. Mr. Debs said: "So far as I am personally concerned I do not believe I will ever again become identitied with a great strike movement. I shall devote whatever influence I may have toward educating the laborer to a- the ballot." The meeting at which Ieb3 made this Btaterneut was held at Naylor'a opera house. At least L',0o0 peopl i packed the house and tried to get a glimpse of him and to hear him. Hundreds could not get in at all. n the platform were dowers and decorations an 1 prominent American Railway union men occupied seats. Mrs. Debs, wife of the president, and hi3 aged father and mother sat in a box and were the objects of much re spectful attention. When the towering form of President Debs was seen coming on the stago there was a roar of applause that shook the building. Many ladies were among those present. It was some minutes be fore Debs could speak. Now, he Debs was on general princi ples opposed to a strike. This was his twenty years' record in labor unions. But he was not ia favor of relegating strikes to the limbo of forgotten things. Time was when not to strike meant degradation. "We live under a striking government," he said. "There wasn't a star in the American flag from Lexington to Yorktown that wasn't a etrike against oppression' If the laborers were treated justly there would not be a laboring union in existence today. Every organization was a living evidence of some sort of oppo sition. The leader of the Locomotive Engineers, the oldest of all railway or ganizations, had told him (Debs) that that order waa started as a result of tyranny on the Michigan Central in I860. Debs says he did all in his power to prevent the Pullman strike. He was charged with personally ordering the strike. He had no voice in it. The American Railway union convention unanimously voted on the strike. It was in behalf of humanity. He had no apol ogies to make for it. Pullman had cut the wages of his workmen turee times during the year, and had treated his men with supercilious contempt. Three of the committemen who called on Puilnian for a redress of their grievances were discharged the next day. Then the men struck. "I am a Populist out and out," lie said. "There is no difference between Demo crats and Republicans, so far as labor is concerned. I am ashamed to pay that I voted for Grover Cleveland three times." Debs left today for Chicago, where a conference of A. R. U. leaders will be held. I)b Raltcriktoi It. Chicago, August 1. "I will never again be connected with any strike or ganization," said President Deb of the A. li. U. today. "ibis strike has devel oped the fact that the sentiment of the people of the country is against strikes and that the government stands ready to put down such movements at the point of the bayonet. I shall hereafter advise all workingmen to seek redress at the ballot." Debs arrived from Terre Haute before noon and was met at the djpot by a com mittee from the A. li. U. He went im mediately to Uhlich's hail, where a direc tory meeting was held and arrangements made for the convention to meet. PRINTERS JOIN POPULISTS. The Typographical l uion of Chicago Seuih Ieleg:aies to the Convention. Chicago, August 1. The Chicago Typographical union No. 16 has voted with practical unanimity to indorse the platform of the independent (Populist) political party and have elected delegates to the county convention, to be held Au gust 18. The present is the first time the printers have ever taken political action as an organized body, although attempts have been made on former occasions to place them on record regarding political action, both in the interest of the two old parties and also from an independent standpoint. Their action ia looked upon by trade unionists generally i.s being most important and of being an indica tion of the feeling on the political sub ject among the workingmen of Chicago and Illinois. Typographical union .No. 10, besides being one of the largest and strongest of the Chicago organizations, is also one of the most conservative. The decision to join in the independent move ment for this fall was almost unanimous. The union is among the first to choose its delegation, but it is said that now as the ice has been broken other important organizations of the city will follow in quick succession. RAINS AND LOTS OF IT. A Heavy Storm Causes Floods Color- do, Diiuffing isilroads. Hugo, Colo., August 1. A terrific rain storm, the worst in years, swept over western Lincoln county lst night, doing great damage, and especially to the rail roads. In the vicinity of Lake station, on the Union Pacific, several hundred feet of track was carried away. Passenger trains were delayed many hours and wrecking trains were sent out from Cheyenne Wells and from Denver. Fear is expressed that the reservoir on the Big Sandy will break. ROB FORD'S SLAYER. Tlie Man Who Killed For.l, Who Killed Jesse (James, Wants a Farrton. Desvi-.r, August 1. Edward O'Kel ly, who is serving a life sentence in the penitentiary for the murder of Rob Ford, slayer of Sesse James, at Creede, has applied for a pardon. As justifica tion for the crime he says: "The killing of the man was the outcome of previous trouble. At the time of the killing he made a movement for his gun and think ing he was going to kill me, I shot him." It is believed O'Keily went to Creede and obtained a commission as deputy sheriff for the exnress purpose of killinsr Ford.

DECLARED FORMALLY The Forms of International Law Complied With By Japan Formally Declaring War With China AT EXACT NOON TODAY Japan Apologizes to England for a Mistake Russian Newspapers State the Russian Position. London, August 1. The Exchange Telegraph company declares that war between China and Japan was formally declared at exactly noon today by Japan. A dispatch from Tokij, Japan, says the Japanese government has informed the representatives of the foreign powers here that a state of war exists between Japan and China. This is regarded as equivalent to a declaration of war. The Chinese legation today received a dispatch from Tien-Tsin, dated 11 a. nx, August 1, but no mention was made in this message of a second naval battle having taken place between China and Japan, and no mention was made of a conflict having taken place between their armies on land. The Spanish government as a result of its misgivings, officially expressed re garding the possible results to the Phil lippine islands, in the event of Japan be coming the dominant power in the east, has purchased three cruisers from Eng lish hrm j. Was It the Chen-Yuen. Yokohama, Japan, August 1. 6 p. m. A dispatch has been received here which is supposed to refer to the Kow Shung, but which may refer to the Chen Yueu. It says that a Chinese warship aud a transport having on board 1,500 troops have been sunk by Japanese war ships, and that a Chinese' gunboat has been captured by the Japanese. The government of Japan has been informed that Chinese reinforcements have been set to Corea, which fact Japan considers as a menace. Messages between Japan and the offi cials have been stopped by China. A 11 Apology to olttu(. Tokio, Japan, August 1. The Japan ese government has instructed its minis ter in London to apologize to Great Brit ain for firing upon and sinking the transport Kow Shung while she was flying the British nag. lhe Japanese minister has been instructed to inform Great Britain that the commander of the Japanese cruiser did not know that the KowSnung waa a British vessel until after the tight. What Kniula Wants. St. Petersburg, August 1. The Rus sian newspapers are unanimous in say ing that whatever the result of the war between China and Japau, Russia will not tolerate any diminishment of Corean territory or alienation of Corean inde pendence. Iiussia, it is added, will not permit any interference upon the part of Great Britain or any other pow er, if such interference endangers Rus sian iuterest. The newspapers urge the government to adopt military and naval measures in the Pacific and upon the Russo-Corean frontier, calculated to uphold the inter ests of Russia should she be called upon to defend them. A WHITE HOUSE CRANK. He Wanted to See the President, hut Went to Jail Instead. Washington, D. C, August 1. Today an undersized man dressed in working clothes and carrying a batch of stone mason's tools over his shoulder, appeared at the White house doorway. He waa Thomas Cadogan, and gave his address as The Lynn house on Pennsylvania ave nue. In an excited manner he told the watchman, "I want to see the president." "What for?" queried the policeman quietly. "They want to put me under ground, see, and I want to tell the president about it, and you must not stop me," replied the man nervously. A telephone call brought a patrol wagon in short order, and the man was carried to the station. Some crank papers were found in his pocket. THE GOLD CASK FOUND. But There Wasn't a inle Piece or Gold In It. Paris, Aug. 1. What is supposed to be the missing cask which contained the $o0,U00 gold consigned to the Lazard Freres company by the steamer La Tour aine, was found today empty in the car in which all the casks of gold trav eled under seal. It is believed that the gold was stolen during its transfer from the steamship or at the railroad station in this city. Later the missing gold waa found in some sacks, hidden in a heap of coal near the railroad station at Havre. There is still no trace of the thieves. SCULPTOR OF ADA REIIAN. Ills Wife Oets a Divorce From Him at Chicago. Chicago, August 1. The World's fair and the Montana silver statue are re called by a divorce decree entered by Judge McConnelL The decree is in favor of Clara Park against Richard Park, the sculptor who modeled the Ada Rehan silver statue. The wife charged that Park, whom she married at Grand Haven, deserted her abroad, and that she has supported herself for five years. She caused a sensation when the Mon tana figure of Justice was unveiled at the World's fair by publicly claiming the ar tist, who was thought to be a single man. The court proceedings were perfunctory, no fight being made for alimony, al though Park is reputed to be worth $30,000. Subscribe for the Daily StatiJocksai.. JACOB MAKES AN APPEAL Coxey Wants Congress to Appropriate $500 to Feed Wealers. Massillon, O., August 1. J. S. Coxey has issued the following appeal to con gress: "On behalf of the four hundred hun gry citizens of the United States now assembled at the capital to secure redress of their grievances, the undersigned would most respectfully petition that you immediately pass a resolution au thorizing the secretary of war to issue 000 worth of rations to relieve them in their present distress, until food now in transit from the west, but detained on account of the strike, can reach them." Coxey is busy every day conducting his campaign for congress. He is making speeches daily. The Populists of west ern Pennsylvania secured him as an at traction at their camp-meeting, now go ing at Beaver, Pa. There was a very large audience to hear the famed inven tor of the Coxey idea. He said if he had advocated 5 per cent interest 011 his pro posed bonds he and his army would have been led into Washington headed by the Marine band. He said the American Railway union trouble was an outcome of what he had predicted, and he held, he said, as he always did, that the gov ernment should have control of the rail roads and the telegraph and the tele phone lines. Coxey called Pullman, King George the Fourth. He said the Pennsylvania Railroad company had reduced the num ber of its employes from G(J,U00 to 37,UU0 in order to pay dividends on watered stock. He said much of the money at in terest in the United States was controlled by foreign capitalists. Sjlap at the Brewery Syndicate. The English brewery syndicate con trols even the glass of beer a man drinks. He told of the sugar trust proceedings, and said its officials went into politics for business interests, and the Populists ought to go into politics for business also. PENCE WILL RETIRE. The Colorado Fopolit Declines a Kenom ination for Congress. Washington, August 1. Lafe Pence the Colorado Populist, has written to the chairman of hia congressional commit tee declining a renomination. He has promised Jerry Simpson to make some speeches in the Seventh Kansas district and will probably confine his Kansas campaigning to that district. Pence is the brightest member of the Populist congressional delegation. In explaining his reason for declining to run for congress again, he said to a correspondent: "It is purely a question of finance. I have been running steadily behind ever since I came to Washington, and if I stay here much longer I will have to borrow money to return home on. My law firm has an extensive mining practice, espec ially in Cripple Creek, and as there have been no terms of court held there for eighteen months I will either have to abandon my practice entirely or get out of congress." Pence ia of the opinion that equal suf frage will help the Populists in Kansas, and that it is destined to do wonderful things for the party everywhere.

President McBride says: "I think we are bearing a socialistic condition, when the individual will be the cnarge of the state. 1 would not be surprised to see before the next presidential election such a union between the American Fed eration of Labor aud other organizations i and the People's party as would lead to political success. JI'KINLEY TAKES A TRIP. lie and His Family Halting: an Outing on the Lakes. Cleveland, O., August 1.

ONE PARTING SLAP Given the Republicans Before Death Supervenes. "Coxeyism is McKinleyism Car ried to Loirical Conclusion." BOIES CAPS IT ALL By Accusing the Labor Unions of Anarchy. Launching a Tirade of Abuse Against Workinjrmen. Des Moinks, Iowa, August 1. The Democratic state convention assembled at Calvary Tabernacle today at 1:30. About 400 delegates were in attendance. Caucuses were held at 9 o'clock and the usual committeemen selected. No can didates opened headquarters and in this case the office seeks the man. J. M. Parsons, the temporary chairman, deliv ered an address, saying Coxeyism was McKinleyism carried to a logical con clusion. After the speech, committees were chosen and the morning caucuses re ported. The convention then adjourned for dinner. On reconvening, Governor Boies was chosen permanent chairman of the convention. After reviewing the conditions leading up to the Democratic victory of tS'J2 and arraigning the Republican party for the policy it pursued while in power, Ex Governor Boies continued: "That victory was not won without definite and oft repeated promises by those who claimed to speak for the party as to what would be done if party suc cess crowned our efforts. MIf Democracy would live; if it would not now in the first Hush of its victory so gallantly won, lay down its arms, surren der so much for which It fought, and prepare its winding sheet for the tomb, it must not lower the standard of the promise made. "There is now no middle ground in which it can cast an anchor. If protection is right in one instance, it is right in all. "He who is willing that hia party as such shall retreat one step from the posi tion it assumed in 1892, who would sur render an iota of principle for which he then fought and won is not a Democrat. We have too much faith in the intel ligence of the electors of this republic, in the sober second thought of the plain people of this nation, to believe they can long be misled in placing the responsi bility for the disasters we are suffering where it belongs. We are standing at the end of more than throe decades of a most intense protective policy on the part of the government. And what ia the re sult? "Trusts and combines orl every hand, the fruits of labor taken from the manv aud given to a few, millionaires counted by the thousands, homeless men by mil lions, rumblings of discontent from every quarter, but loudest and longest in "he very quarters of the highly protected in dustries of the land, strikes and lockouts everywhere, armies of idle men gathering in our cities aud inarching over the coun try, vaunting their destitution in the face of the world, with here and there the howl of the anarchist, the knife of the assassin and the brand of the incen diary emphasizing with fire aud blood a discontent that has become almost epi demic, and threatens the stability of the government itself until the last resort of a nation, an appeal to the military arm for protection, has become a public necessity. "It would be a cowardly evasion of truth to attempt to conceal the fact that the Democratic party has reached the crisis in its history that thraatensita wel fare, if not its life. "There is a subject which I am glad to say is not a political issue between any of the great parties of the country or grave importance to the welfare of the country. I refer, as you will surmise, to the un precedented troubles in labor circles during the last few months. "I know, too, that every one of these men who is an adult citizen of the Uni ted States ia clothed with precisely the same power under the constitutions of the states and nation to help mould and cause to bo executed the laws of the land, that is posssssed by the haughtiest millionaire that ever cast a vote, and I believe as firmly as I believe in my exis tence, that if their organizations are to be preserved and continue to -be of the least practical benefit to their members they must see that they neither violate the law themselves nor instigate or abet others to da eo. With every loyal citi zen who ia a loyal friend to its laborers, I have been shocked by the flagrant breaches of law that have characterized so many of the recent labor strikes of the country. "I am still more amazed to know that within the circles of some of these unions are men who yet condemn the authorities, both state and national, for interposing the military arm of each to put an end to conditions that had reached a completed stage of anarchy and overthrow, in some local ities, every semblance of law and order. If these men are not bereft of reason they must by this time realize that the strike, as conducted in many places in the past, is revolution, is anarchy, is the incipient stage of civil war. "it is vain to assert that the scene of TWENTY-SECOND YE All. riots, incendiarism and bloodshed have witnessed is not the work of ir bers of any of the union s, but insU that of the lawless elements of the c in which they have occurred. "If this is literally true itcaun i lieve the unions in question of th sponsibility for conditions that their t r i "A acts made possible, and which, wit! such acts, would never have exi There is another phase of thi-s quest immeasurable importance to individ' It is the question of the inherent i or wrong of what some labor lea term "a sympathetic strike," and w was forcibly presented in the i '.i: strike. The sympathetic strike inu-tj the unions that entrage wiil be iiMr and with it must go forever the of riot and carnage that have chamc ized so many recent strike?-, or t le galizations responsible for them n; ground into the dust under the an awakened public sentiment." The speaker then devoted his alien to state issues. 1 i TO OPEN TG3I01.I.0 The Pullman ?hoi Will Ji.open V, Is About. HOt Irt. Chicago, August 1.

STATU JOTTRNAXj. WEDNESDAY" EVHNTN'a; AUGUST 171894: WERE HARPTO CATCH. Typ. "H.-'para.lof .q Rob the Bank at Chandler, L T. They Get About $1100 and Hurry From Town. SHERIFF GAVE CATTLE One Citizen i Xilled and a Wounded Ilobber Captured. GtJTHP.lH, Ok., Aujr. 1. The littla city of Chandler, forty miles east of here, was Monday the scene of ojyj of the hottest bank robberies in the his tory of the territory, the particulars of which reached here at a late hour last nig-ht. About 10 o'clock five men rode into the town dressed as cow boys and armed to tha teeth, and pro ceeded at once to the alley in the rear of the Lincoln county bank. All of the men dismounted, one held the horses, oae entered the front door of the bank and two the back door, while one remained g-uard outside, the first man to en;er stepped np to the teller's window and shovinjj a "Winchester into the face of Harvey Kee, president of tha bank, ordered tiim "to shell out tha cash, and be quick about it, too." The second bandit took care of the cashier, u. IJ. Kee, who was at work on the books, while the third went into a back room and compelled F. li. Hoyt, who was lying- very sick, to get up and open the safe. lie attempted to comply, but fell exhausted in front of the safe door, and the robber then snapped his Winchester in his face, but luckily it did not go off. By this time firing' was heard on the outside and the men t-eized all the currency on the counters, about S300, and ran. The first nan to give tha alarm was J. B. Mitchell,-a barber, lie saw the men in the bank and cried out: "The Dai ton gang- is in town" and (started into his shop but fell dead in the doorway, peir jei through the heart by a bullet frcm the Winches ter of the bandit on r-uard outside the bank. A moment later the robbers mount ed their horses and rode away.

Tele. 8 THE TH00TC ORDERS. General Schofidd's Order No. 23 Just Made Public The Troop3 Were Not to Shoot Into a Crowd. PICK TIIE1I OUT SINGLY Sharpshooters Were to Dispo3e of Individual Rioters. WAsmsTGTOjr, Aug. 1. The leaders of the riotous mobs who confronted the United States regular troops dur ing the progress of the great strike probably did not realize how peril ously they stood to violent death, for not only were the troops fully author ized to shoot into the mobs, but the commanding officers were instructed to detail sharpshooters to shoot down individual rioters who were particu larly active. All this is made evident by general order number 23, which has just been made public at the war department. Not for many years had the United States troop been so generally in active service as during the strike and consequently many commanding- of ficers were somewhat in doubt as to their powers and duties under the complex laws and regulations touch ing the use of troops. To meet this demand for exact information, Gen eral Schofield issued general order number 23. It was dated July 9 and officers were instructed to regard it as confidential, because it was feared that its publica tion at that time would further in flame the excited and lawless mobs. The full text of the order is as follows: "A mob, forcibly resisted or ob structing the execution of the laws of the United States, or attempting- to destroy property belonging- to or under the protection of the United States, is a public enemy. "Troops called into action against such a mob are governed by the general regulations of the army and military tactics in respect to the man ner in which they shall act to ac complish the desired end. It is purely a tactical question in what manner they shall use the weapons with which they are armed whether by the fire of musketry and artillery, or by the use of the bayonet and saber, or by both, and at what stage of the operations eaeh or either mobs of attack shall be employed. This tactical quest on must neces sarily be decided by the immediate commander of the troops according to his best judgment of the situation and the authorized drill regulations. "In the first stage of an insurrec tion, lawless mobs are frequently commingled with great crowds of comparatively innocent people, drawn there by curiosity and excitement, and ignorant of the great dang-er to which they are exposed. "Under such circumstances the commanding officer should withhold the fire of his troops, if possible, nntil timely warning has been given to the innocent to separate themselves from the gviilty. "Under no circumstances are the troops to fire into a crowd without the order of the commanding officer, ex cept that single sharp-shooters, selected by the commanding officer, may shoot down individual rioters who l a. e tired upon or thrown missiles at the troops. "As a general rule, the bayonet alone should be used against mixed crowds in the first stages of a revolt. But as soon as sufficient warning has been given to enable the innocent to s parate themselves from the guilty tha action of the troops should be governed solely by the tactical con siderations involved in the duty they are ordered to perform. "They are not called upon to con sider how great may be the losses in flicted upon the public enemy, except to make their blows so effective as to promptly suppress all resistance to lawful authority, and to stop the destruction of life the moment lawless resistance has ceased. Punishment belongs not to the troops, but to the courts of justice. By command of iiajor General Schofield. "George R. Rcggles, "Adjutant General." Yesterday's Senate I'rooe'dinsi, Washington, Aug., 1.

A certair, lady of Indianapolis who had never been used to the luxury of life nntil after her husband made a large sum of money in the real estate business, moved into an elegant house which had. amonng other con veniences, a fine bath room, It was her pride, and every visitor was informed .boat the bath room. Guests who came from a distance were greeted with: "Now, I know you are tired nd dnsty after your long journey; just ?o right up to the bath room and you can have a refreshing bath at once." This worked well in most cases, but one day she made a mis take. She went to tbe door one warm summer afternoon to find a young- g-entleman friend of her hus band's from Louisville, and she took it for granted that he was going to stay all night. So her first words ,ftai- shaking- hands with him were: "Now, you are tired and dnsty after your journey; just g-o right np to the bath room; a bath will refresh you so." In Tain the young man tried to ex postulate; she had him by the arm and started him np the stairway be fore he could get in a word. In half an hour he came down and took np his hat and stick. "I thank you very much," he said; "I enjoyed the bath very much." Then he started for the door. "Why, where are you going?" asked the hostess. "To catch my train," he answered; "I only had forty minutes to stay and my bath took half an hour, so I must hurry to catch the Chicago train." It cured the lady of showing- off her bath room. FOLLOWING FRIENDLY ADVICE. Got a Snap on the Bicycle, Bat the Dealer Did Not Monro. j ''Wouldn't it be a good idea," said the disinterested friend, "to put a i high grade bicycle in your window and mark it 850 or some such price? You'd lose some money on it, of course, but look at the advertising you would get out of it. Everybody in town would be talking about it inside of twenty-four hours, and your store would get a reputation for selling good machines cheap that would be worth hundreds of dollars to you." "That's not a bad scheme," said tha bicycle dealer, after thinking it over, j "John," he called out to one of the boys, "put that Greased Racer in the front window and mark it 50" "But" "Never mind arg-uing- the matter. I know what I'm doing." The Greased Lightning Racer was placed conspicuously in the show win dow with the S50 tag- appended. "Now," said the disinterested friend, "that looks something like it. You'll see a crowd gathering there inside of five minutes. By the way, you may just consider that machine sold. I'll take it off your hands. But I'm no hog," he added, cheerfully. "I'll let it stay in your window till to-morrow morning." "Wasn't that, rather an unhand- some trick?" asked the silent partner, 1 after the disinterested friend had gone away. "No," reflected the dealer. "That machine has be -n on hand two years, but it's worth every cent of $47.50." SHE WANTED THAT NAIL. Believing- It Responsible for Tears and Swears She Was After It. This is a woman's ag-e, and a busi ness man who knows says there is positively nothing- she will not under take, lie was loung-ingr in his office the other day when a well-dressed, comely little woman appeared. She wore a resolute expression in addition to other apparel and in her hand she carried a larg-e tack-raiser. "Good morning," she said, winning ly. "Is this Mr. Cash's office? Will you please tell me which chair it ia that has that nail in It?" The business man was confused the nice little weman was a total stranger to him. lie answered mildly: "What chair? What nail?" "Why," she exclaimed, "my hus band has come home three times re cently with dreadful holes in his coat and trousers, and he said he tore them on a chair in your office. I'm about tired darning- and patching those rents and thoag-ht it would be more sensible and satisfactory to come down here, pull the nail out and be done with it. Don't you think so?" Still in a trance the merchant agreed with her, found the offending cbair, extracted the nail and wit! many thanks and smiles the enterprising- little woman withdrew. Mackerel Wearing a Itubber Band. A mackerel with a rubber band a 6ort of primitive corset around its body has caused much comment at Gloucester, Mass. The band had evi dently been put on him when he wa a small, and had stayed there in spite of its rapid prrowth. Under tha band the fish's body had not grown, and the depression was about three inches deep. The band was sound and flexi ble, and the fish was in a healthy con dition. Matrimony Cheap In Aastralla.

STATE JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 1 1894. TO COOL THEIR AUGER. A Congressman Says Senators Are Talking Anger Away. After They Had Talked Them selves Out Came Reaction. MUST PASS A BILL. Began to See That Something JlvA to Be Done. Washington.' Aug. 1. Special. Those fellovrs arc getting rid of their an ger in the cheapest way by talking it off, and we shall soon do sonic business," said one of the ho-ise conferees during the most exciting day. and so it serins to have turned out. As soon as Hill, Gorman, Gray, Vest, Jones Co. had freed their minis and told all the party secrets on the subject there was a great reaction, and once more we began to hear even the most strenuous hoase leaders saying, "We mu st pass a bill." Even in the most heated stage of the controversy it could be no ticed that, while the average member talked very savagely about the house standing out. he was apt to wind up with gome little argument to the effect that tho senate bill was a wonderful improvement on the law row In force. Some of the critics arc n;".n enough to say that the enormous number of olhces in which tho present holders' commissions expire this mor.tn had deal to do with the speedy reconciliation of the disputants. Seventy presidential postofliccs fell due In July, and the mimlicr in August will be very lurK. The president has been sending in very handsome or, at any rate, long lists of appointm jnts every day, and even the most savage patriot will moderate his views a little when his district is getting what, he considers its proper share of the "sugar." A Rosy A lew. It was observed aUo that the treasury receipts fell eff very suddenly, though they have still exed-,l $1,000,000 per day for some time. to far, too, as the members report conditions at their homes, their is evidently some general improvement in business, though it is very slow. -'The people arc at work as usual at this season of the year," said Mr. Lapham of Rhode Island in sui lining upon tho general con dition, "but -.here is a low range of prices, and that makes the figures smaller. As to tho tariff, wl y, the cotton mill men have said from the t.tart that tho neve bill was satisfactory to them, and the woolen mills have been running for some time, and really, when you figure it down, I think you will fine!, that there are no moro idle men in the United States now than there have been in any midsummer period for many years. Another thing to bo noted is that, all the relief societies organized for last winter havp closed their business, and the regular charities report that there is no more destitution than usual. I live out in what might be called the country, and there aio fewer tramps and beggars now than there have been for along time. There is beyond question a great im provement, c nly it is on a lower scale of prices." Living In Misery. There is one point in this vicinity where Mr. I.apham's rosy view would not be tol erated, and that is at Kosslyn, across the river, whore about 1,000 Coxeyites are now living in abject misery. The novelty 1j39 worn out, the sentiment connected with them has quite evaporated, and they are looked on as simply an intolerable nuisance. O JC of sheer pity a little food is sent to them from timo to time, but want and exposure, especially during the late heavy rains, have produced so much sick ness that the neighbors dread a pestilence, beveral of the poor devils have come to town and got arrested as vagrants in or der to bo fed, while others have sacked a grocery store in the vicinity and depredat ed on neighboring farms, but it is' report ed thai the constables over thero are afraid to go into the camp to arrest anybody. Th Coryites have taken a census and sent us word that they have in their camp Masons, 1.9H Odd Fellows, 354 Knights of Iabor, 20 members of the Y. M. C.

Discussion, however, on their case and than of other discontented folks goes on with lindim riiahiHl vigor. Tho resolution for an inves igation of the Chicago strikes came up in the house, according to pro gramme, and developed quite as much racket as such tilings usually do, and the naitonal labor commission is to be started on its work in a few days. Labor Com missioner Wright is of course the leading man in tho investigation, and his col leagues are niau of judgment and experi ence. Sena nor Allen has introduced still another bill to round out the system of dealing with labor disturbances. It pro vides in general terms that no United States circuit or district court shall per mit any state officer to be implicated in his official capacity in any action in such court or in i.ny manner restrain or enjoin him from tl e execution of his official du ties under t!ie laws of the state. Tho fed eral courts are also prohibited from re straining the execution of any state law. It is not easy for the unprofessional reader to see just what the measure is aimed at, but in a per era 1 way it is evident that it seeks to restrict the power of tho general government to interfere. Minor Mention. I The return of normal conditions in this country falls in quite opportunely with the increase 1 chances of something inter esting abroad. Secretary Herbert, lias de cided to send two more vessels to join the Baltimore and the Monocacy in Asiatic waters, as tho indications now are that China and Japan will fight, and so Amer ican interests in that quarter must be guarded.

Atlanta, Ga., August 1. One year ago Chief Justice Bieikiey of Georgia, aged 70, married Miss llerrin, the 24-year-old daughter of a New York mil lionaire. Witain a providedtime a male child was born to the couple. The Geor gia Bar association met luat evening with Chief Justice Bleikley presiding1. To the association he told hia domestic story thus: "The year of my presidency has been distinguished and rendered memorable by the birth of a son, whom I have dedicated to the law. Thus mind ful to the advice of Lord Bacon I have done something for tho profession. I may be pardoned for contrasting my bet ter fortune with that of my illustrious rival, President Clevelan 1, whose oiiicial olfspring is not of his own professional gender. "Considering our relative ages, it seems noteworthy that the president of Georgia Bar association has accomplished more in one term than the president of the the United States has accomplished in two. Desiring however, not to be ungen erous in my triumph, 1 frankly say that my paternal admiuislration has not been agitated or disturbed by the tariff, or sliver, or the senate, by my unsteady footing on the platform, or the unsteady fooling thereon of other peo ple, etc., and 1 will add, with full sincer ity, that under all the circumstances Mr. Cleveland has done remarkably well and ought to have another trial." The infant was thereupon elected an honorary member of the association. WEATHER FOR JULY. The Monthly Itrpurt Prepared by Prof. I' IX. Snow of iKWreuci, Lawrence, August 1.

Tha Spanish con sul at Marseilles having telegraphed that cholera is epidemic there, that the num ber of deaths daily is very large and that the authorities are concealing the actual situation, the government has ordered stringent precautions to be taken at all Spanish port and on the frontiers.

Proposal by Populists to Appoisl Itsi Assistant Attorney General. Tho local Populists have a new move which they calculate will offset to a cer tain degree the damage done by County Attorney Safford' a recent police exposure. It is to have an assistant attorney gener al appointed by Mr. Little or the govern or to "assist" County Attorney Safford in the care of the liquor prosecutions which are on the criminal docket for trial at the next term of the district court. The Populists make this move on the ground that Mr. Safford ia unwilling to do hia duty iu the matter; and in case of convictions they would get a share of the glory. It is hinted also that the assist ant attorney general would be expected to "cover up" some disagreeable facts that might come up at the trial of the cases. With this end in view Police Captain Peter N. Gish called on John N. Ives this morning and asked him if he would be willing to accept such an assignment from the Populists. Mr. Ives told Gish that he would not think for a moment of accepting such an offer under any cir cumstances. In speaking of the matter afterwards to a Journal reporter Mr. Ives said: "I have been ignored by the present state administration for two years, and I don't propose to be made a cat's-paw at this time. What is more, the prohibitory law has always been obnoxious to me, al though if I accepted the oifer I would expect to do my whole duty. I think the prohibitory law was never better en forced than when I was attorney gen eral. "The work of an assistant attorney general is a thankless one. They make many enemies and no friends, and the pay is only $10 for each conviction. It will be a bitter fight, in which I, as a man cf peace, have no disposition to take a part." There 13 considerable speculation as to who will receive the appointment. W. C. Webb, who gets many odd legal jobs from the state house, is mentioned, as are 11 11 Chesney and II. C. Root. County Attorney Safford was seen this afternoon, but he declined to express himself for publication until after the appointment is made. EMANCIPATION DAY. It Is 15 ft 1 n if Celebrated at Both Oar field und the City Parks. The colored people of the city are cele brating their emancipation today in two places; at Gartield park, under the aus pices of the African Methodist denomi nation, and at the city park by the Bap tists. The only thing lacking to com plete enjoyment is the presence of Old Pap Singleton, now dead and gone before. The Diopatch baud turned out in its gay new uniforms this morning with their instruments brightly polisned aud marched to Garfield park. The exer cises were to have commenced at 11 o'clock, but they were deferred until after noon. The principal speaker at Garfield park is'P. B. Dawes, the Republican candidate for attorney general. Colonel John Brown replied to Ingalls' letter the tenor of his speech being outlined in an interview published in today's Journal. Albert Griffin made a speech in behalf of female suffrage, and Mrs. L. O. Case gave some good reasons why women should be given the right of suffrage in Kansas. At the city park J. G. Wood made an address dealing with the question of the emancipation of the colored race. CoL John M. Brown also spoke at the city park. Mrs. L. O. Case made her suffrage address at the city park, aud then went to Garfield park, tilling both appoint ments. The music at Garfield park was fur nished by the Dispatch band, and they never seemed to play so well. The crowd at both places enjoyed a picnic dinner, and every one had a good time. Judge Jamison was master of cere monies at Gartield park, and Rev. Mr. Price at the City park. There will be a meeting of the colored people at Music hall tonight, when L. A. Stebbius, Mrs. L. O. Case and other suf fragists will speak. HE SEEKS HIS DISCHARGE. "Captain" Hunter Wants to Get Out of the Hattery. Captain E. S. Ilunter, of the Coxey Home Gaards, has applied for his dis charge from Battery B, iu which he holds the position of sergeant. Some time ago Hunter marched down Kansas avenue iu uniform with the Home Guards and Lieut. Phillips, who commands the battery applied for his discharge. The application was with drawn, it was said after Hunter had apologized for his conduct. He however denies ever having made an apology. In his application for a discharge he makes serious charges against his fellow officers, but would not disclose their nature. It was the trouble over the Hunter matter which led to the talk about mustering out the battery. ilnnkinh M ill uit the Tnrf. Chicago, August 1.

Miss Mabel Bennett died yesterday evening at the farm of Wagoner brothers, who live in the northwest part of the township, from injuries received at the hands of a would be robber last week. Miss Bennett was employed as domes tic by the Wagoner brothers. One morn ing last week, when no one else was at home, a man appeared at the Wagoner residence and demanded what money was in the house. Miss Bennett claimed to know nothing of any money. At this the robber applied chloroform to her nostrils which put her itito a stupor. By the time he had completed a search of the house, which resulted in his rind ing nothing, the girl had partially re covered. Placing one knee on her breast and a revolver at her head, he ordered her to drink the contents of a glass which he had poured from a bottle, com pelling her to drink it contents. Then he assured her that what she had swal lowed would put her beyond danger of telling anything. "You'll not be here when they come," were his parting words. When the boys came home they found her in a stupor and from the appearance of the house readily understood what had happened. They immediately sum moned Dr. Schenck of Harveyville, who after much work partially brought her out of stupor so that partially by writing and partially by speaking and some by signs, she could tell the foregoing story, but by morning she commenced to grow worse and died.

Judge Culver is state organizer of the order and last week opened lodges at Council Grove and Wilsey. Ilerington is, he says, the only place in the county that has a branch of the order, but he aims to put in others if possible. For instance, Mrs. Chas.

He has a wife to support and lie can't afford to live on notoriety. "How were you treated at the city prison?" asked the reporter. "I was not subject to indignities, if that's what you mean," he replied. "1 suppose I was treated like any of the other prisoners. They locked me up in one of those little iron cages inside the main cell, as though I was some desperate criminal, but I don't intend to make any kick on that score. They undoubtedly had a right to lock me up if they wanted to." "Did you get enough to eat?" "Plenty of grub was offered to me, such as it was, but I didn't care to take any of it. I only had one cup of coffee all the time I was in there, but of course that wasn't the fault of the jailer. I do wish you newspaper men would say something about the rotten meat they set up there. I didn't take any of it because I didn't feel like eating, but I smelled of it and I tell you it was rotten. I asked the other prisoners why they didn't make a kick, but they said it wouldn't do any good; that the police officers and Frank Long would all deny it and thift would be tho end of it." Judge Joseph Holt Iead. Washington, August 1. Judge Jo seph Holt, who was judge advocate gen eral of the army, aud at one time acted as secretary of war, died at his residence in this city.

Senator IJill hasn't been Baying much f-i- saveral daya and it is pretty near time to look for the result? of some quiet work. In the present fight of the honest part of the Btate administration against the grabbers the former appears to be great ly handicapped. If the Benate does conclude to make some concessions, it will be the llrat time, thia congress, it ha3 evinced a disposition to do something. Now that the cholera is at Marseilles and fairly upon us, tho state board of health should redouble its vigilance to keep it out of Kansas. It will be noticed that there are more Chinamen killed in naval engagements than land battles; doubtless because there is no chance to run. Missionaries in China and Japan seem quite unnecessary since those countries have gone to war and ir killing each other just like civilized nations. If the two houses of congress were able to eee when they can't agree, and would adjourn, the country wouldn't be so anxious for an agreement of some kind. No sort of an investigation can dis prove Warden Chase's attack on Judge McDonald. That alone is sufficient to prove his unfitness for any office of re sponsibility. Tee reduction of wages in the ham department of the Chicago packing houses will have no tendency to increase the thickness of the slices in the ordin ary sandwich. Thu near relatives of the assassin of Carnot were all insane. This fact proves the wisdom of the fierce public glare to which Governor Waite and otlaers have been subjected. In the numerous theories regarding the barrel of go'.d which was stolen in France no suggestion has been made of llr. Bill Dalton, which must be regarded as an oversight Thbs bill to enroll tie entire popula tion in the militia will be hailed with delight by that large class of people who are the happiest when they cau wear some sort of uniform or badge. The mayor of Oweosboro, Ky. says gambling there must stop. This is the second blow that innocent Kentucky pleasures have received this year, and it la doubtful if the people will stand much more. Senator Camden wr.s confronted with a photograph of an ordor for sugar stock, said to have been made by him and pro nounced it fictitious. Like many people he doesn't like photographs unless they flatter him. The house refused to concur in the senate amendment appropriating money for exterminating this.les. It probably remembered the fablj and thought it would be mean to destroy the senate's sustenance. Attorkey General Oi.set, It is said, will dismiss the 6uits tgainst the Pacific railroads. In these times of general shak ing up Olney's devotion to corporations, at the expense of the government, stands like the Rock of Agss. Mr. Vilas is the only one of the three V senators who isn't sick, and the fact that he could deliver a ich a speech as he did without suffering paags of remorse betokens either a robmt constitution or a conscience of great dujtility. Two out of eight of the executive council were r-U that voted against the grabbing of the cholera fund. That so large a per ceat were ionest la this In stance will do much to correct an Im pression that seems to have got abroad that ail Populists are corrupt.

It Is not surprising to read that a num ber of the Cripple Creek miners who are charged with violating the law, and against whom warrants for their arrest have beea issued, have broken tho ties which connected them with law-abiding men, and have launched out oa a career of crime. There will be more cf this in Colorado and other states unless some thing is done soon to bring about a nor mal industrial condition. It was a light matter for congress to demonetize silver; it only "threw a few miners out of work" in Colorado and Ida ho. A "mere drop ia the bucket, a trifle." So said senators and representatives, when they voted to repeal the Sherman act. But it practically wrecked tha in dustries not only of Colorado, but many other states. A few months of starva tion; then came the industrial armies. Thousands upon thousands of miners and mechanics migrating eastward, be cause there was no longer subsidence for them in the west Tney formed "Coxey armies" to go down to Washing ton and protest against the legislation which had made them paupers. Those who remained behind at re duced wages found themselves on the verge cf another reduction. They fore saw that if they accepted it, they must eventually look forward to hovels for homes and "side meat" for fooi They etruck, and doubtless daring the strike violated many of the laws. There was hot-headedness on both sides. From mere strikers tuey sank deeper and deeper into lawlessness until we now find them organizing bands of freeboot ers and banditti. This is not a new thing in history. The laws are so bad and unjust in soma parts of Europe that only a part of the peasantry seek an honest living, but rather prefer the liberty of brigandage to tilling the soil or working in the mill3 and mines. The government and the plutocratic classes thera rob tho pro ducer so ruthlessly that it scarcely pays to produce anything. The same causes that briDg about brigand.ige in Italy and Greece will bring it about in America. High spir ited men whose moral principle isn't as strong as it ought to be will yield to temptation and become knights of the road. If the present Btate of aflairs keeps up perhaps the Coxey armies will degener ate into gangs of robbers. Whose fault is it? That of the misguided men who were once honest miners aud mechanics or of the goldite conspirators who have legislated in such a way as to cover this whole laud with misery, poverty and crime? WOMEN AND CHILDREN WHALERS. How Six of Them Are Braving- the Dangers of the Frozen North. About this time the white pol.tr bears and the seals aud walruses of the great frozen north are being surprised by the strains of a grand piano, the words of "Daisy Bell" and the laughing voices of net only men, but women and chil dren as -well. The explanation of this apparent anomaly is tho fact that sev eral women and children accompany the fleet of the Pacific Steam Whaling' com pany in its long cruise near Point Bar row this year, and that a piano, danc ing and other means of amusement are now being utilized to while away the time while waiting for the cry of "There she blows!" The voyages of the fleet last from two to three years, and on tho present trip several of tho captains were so anxious to have their families accompany them that they gladly paid $1,000 each for the privilege. The veteran among the women is Mrs. Green, wife of Captain Green of the Ales nder. She hrts seen a great deal of wh es and whaling and knows more about the great leviatr ans of the deep than the average woman does about fancy work. On tho .Tes.se IL Freeman are Mrs. Sophia Porter and her little daughter, Dorothy. Mrs. Sherman accompanies her husband on the Beluga, ,r MRS. EHEEMAX. MRS. PORTE K. MRS. WEEKS. and Mrs. Weeks, wife of Captain Weeks, and their baby boy, Bert, aie the light and life of the Thrasher's crew. The winter quarters of the party are situated on land a short distance from the frozen in steamers, and there the 500 members of the fleet will play billiards and pool, charades, private theatricals, whist and progressive euchre, and enjoy tnnsic and dancing. Tho ladies will also hold teas and crochet enough fancy work to stock a bazaar. Captain Porter's little girl is a tiny maid of 4 summers, who is weiiriog one of the smallest sealskin sacks ever made, and who will never forget the wonders of the arctics, so deeply will they be impressed upon her baby mind. Master Bert Weeks will study the whale, and the seal, and the walrus in their native haunts and will Bee strange laads, strange animals and fish Lnd strange people that few little boys have ever before had the opportunity cf studying aa he will study them. The fleet ia coal ed and provisioned for three years, and that time will probably pass before the whalers, laden with rich stores of bona and oil, return to civilization agairu 112 and 114 West 8th, Peerless eteam I.aundxy. H0N0KS OF THE TERM MEN IN CONGRESS WHO HAVE IN CREASED THEIR REPUTATIONS. Opinion of a Western Member Grand Old Man Harris Men Who Have No Listen ora An Opinion of Senator Bill and Bosrks Cockrsa. Washington, July 26. As the end draws nigh, and the books are made up, and a general balance struck on losses and gains, both personal and political, one question much discussed ia. Who has won the honors at thia session? It would never do to print the answers given in the general laxity of the social hour or in the privacy of the smoking room, when only members of one party are present, especially if they are mem bers of one wing of the party, for the radicals in each are far more severe in personal criticism of the conservatives than of persons in the other party. It would never do, I say, to put such state ments in a family paper, but there are certain general lines of criticism which are quite curious and possibly instruct ive. The average eastern member too often has a sort of sneer for the average western man in fact, for most men west of Ohio and, discouraging as tha fact may be, the northern Republican still has a feeling of suspicion toward the southern man and of something near akin to contempt for the southern Republican. On the other hand, there are at least ten men in the house and six in the senate in whose praise men of all parties are unanimous. A Western View. A jocular western member, who ex hibits in its fullest extent the breezinesa of his native prairie, makes this sum mary: "Not more than six old members Lave really increused their reputation 1 I x'S?. SEJJATOR HARRIS. this session. First is Mr. Crisp, of course, who comes out of every congress a little stronger than he enters it. The others are Reed, Burrows, Wilson, Jerry Simpson and Bailej". It's a pity Pro fessor Wilson, as they call him, is in failing health, for otherwise he would be one- of tho greatest men in our his tory in fact, the other Wilson of Washington would be a leader in his party if he were larger and stronger. Bailey grows slowly and steadily as men of the judicial temperament always do. You remember Dr. Holmes' famous al legory about the young men who en tered for the race in college with him and how Judex, the iron gray horse, held out best on the long heat. Well, Bailey is yonng Judex, and in my opin ion will be a growing man for tho next j SO years. Bryaii has" just about held hi3 own. His environment is not the best j for steadiness. The way things are in Nebraska ho must cut certain capers in i order to get into the senate. As to Mc- i Millin, llolman. Springer and a dozen J or so more, he circumstances have been such that t lie y have only held their own, and McMillin especially has been doing a kind of work for which he will not get full credit for some years. The fact is, our brutal majority in this house has played sheol with some of our fellows. "I have to laugh very of ten at the big difference responsibility makes with a man and how suddenly some of these orators, so brilliant in opposition, quiet down when they have to take charge. I noticed even when a boy that it was a durned sight easier to stand on the side walk and criticise the circus as it went by than to take hold and run a circus yourself. Many a man comes here and cuts a big swath while his party is in the minority, but when it gets the up per hand and he is put at the head of an important committee, ho loses the use of himself. Now, suppose the Popu lists should gain the balance of power and Lafe Pence be made chairman of the committee on banking and cur rency. It would be fun for the boys, but it would be death to Lafe. Over on the other side I should 6ay that Reed, Bur rows, Cannon and Dingley have deserved well of their party and their country. As to the senate, of course nobody can compare with old Harris. He has grown steadily since the 8th of August last that is, if a man can grow now who haa been in public life ever since the foun dation of the government-" A Hard Worker. This is sarcasm. Senator Harris has only been in politics since 1838, when, if his old neighbors tell the truth, he was made the representative of the young Democrats on the central com mittee of his district. The opinion is also a little too sweeping in regard to the house, as there are several members who were unknown outside of their dis tricts a year ago and now have consid erable reputation. Of those named prob ably the hardest worker is Mr. Ding ley. Ho is indefatigable in getting at tha facts and well balanced in his judg ment, and while there are many mem bers more brilliant there is none other who accomplishes more of what he un dertakes. It is a frequent subject of re mark that Maine and Texas, extremes in politics as in geography, are unusu ally well represented. "They chose men of brains at the 6tart, says one mem ber, "and had brains enough to keep them here." Missouri is also well rep- 3 The p tains, by means of timely and thoroughly tested improve ments, its unquestioned pre-eminence as the Standard Writing-machine Simple, Practical, Durable, Easy to Learn and Operate.

This, as has often been remark ed, is the reason of southern men ac quiring fo many advantages, and it un avoidably gives an appearance of ex treme sectionalism and unfairness to tho committees. The rule as ti seniority required the present makeup of the con ference committee on the tariff bill, and yet it looks as if northern men had been purposely excluded. Since the revolu tion of 1874 the Republicans have car ried the house but few times, and so their men are out of practice as chair men and committee leaders. Genius will assert itself, however, and wher ever Mr. Reed or Mr. Cannon or Mr. Dingley sits is liable to be thw head of the table in that committee. Cnder m Cloud. At least 10 men in this house are un der a sort of cloud which it Is not easy to explain. Their colleagues get ready to smile when they rise, and they have to work twice as hard as other men to accomplish anything. Unreasonable as it may tseeni, the name has something to do with it. Such names as Quigg, Sorg and Sipe lend themselves too read ily to jokes, and if either of these gen tlemen were named Smith it would be to his advantage. Another one of this class is Dr. William Everett of Massa chusetts. He was elected by such an ob vious accident that no one expects him to return, and he has some personal pe culiarities, so in spite of his great in dustry and unquestioned ability the house persistently refuses to take the doctor seriously. An unusually large number of members have received th3 highest of all compliments from their constituents renomination by unani mous vote or with very little opposition. In the senate a peculiar combination of circumstances has brought the new men to the frnnt, with one exception. Messrs. Peffer and Allen have been, if any odds, moro prominent than eueb veterans as Mr. Hoar and Mr. George, and among tho really remarkable phe nomena of tho session have been the eilenc3 of Mr. Voorheea, the modesty of Mr. Vilas and the complete self efface ment of Mr. Roach. The:e is much cu riosity, of course, as to what the final position cf the last named i3 to be and whether the serious charges against him are to permanently cloud his career, but so far he has carefully refrained from saying anything to attract attention. Senator George is another whose posi tion ia not easily understood. He has more to say about tho constitution than any other senator, and is always careful to avow himself a strict constructionist of the old school, and yet manages to support more of the so called paternalist schemes than any other Democrat. He mado by far the most able speech in favor of the once famous Blair bill for educating the negroes at government expense. He stood alone among Demo crats in earnest support of an appropri ation of $1,000,000 to exterminate the Russian cactus and introduced a measure for arbitration which would, so some of his colleagues say, have frightened Alexander Hamilton. Do Not Speak svs They Pass F?y. There is as much human nature in a senator aa in any other man, and the personal animosities are curious and amusing. When both senators of a state are of the same party, they seldom agree quite as well a3 if of opposite parties, and if it ia tho party in power strained relations are almost certain. For many a year Messrs. Pugh and Morgan were barely civil with each other. Messrs. Jarvis and Ransom are restrained by senatorial courteey and their native sell control, but they don't like each other even a little bit. Senators Chand'r and Gallinger do Dot speak as they pas3 by, and the former almost took to hi? bed w hen the latter waa chosen to the senate in spite of him. While there i3 a difference of opinion in most cases there is one senator as tc whom the Democrats are unanimous, and that i3 Mr. HilL It would be painful to record the remarks made about him in the house, and, as to the letters that come from the west, they are positively a danger to the mails by their ferocious heat.

They would tear him out of thr stand, and they might even White Cap him- He couldn't be elected third as CONGRESSMAN DtKGLET sistant dog pelter in any township out side of New York. My jocular western friend quoted in the beginning of this article says; "He has reconstructed him self thoroughly out of a national chai acter to a very local politician. He hal the opportunity of his life, but he could not rise above the level of a New York politician or forget his dislike to Mr Cleveland." These are but the mildest of many criticisms. Bourke Cockran is another New Yorker who for reasons hard to explain has jrained the disliko of western men The hatred of the Buchanan Democrat for Senator Doujrla" in 1858 and the storm of unrelenting fury whish fell upon those Republican senators who voted against the impeach ment of Andrew Johnson did not exceed the storm now beating upon the senior senator from New York. J. IL Beadle. Oava 'i in-ui a Uigli Fall. A well known Philadelphiau, who in his youth was given a little to sport, has a particularly fine boy, who is very spirited. At school he suffered very much up to a fow month3 ago from big ger boys who abused and "pounded" him. Enjoining the lad to the strictest secrecy, the father employed a retired pugilist, a little bit of a fellow, and had him give the boy lessons several times a week in boxing. At odd mo ments he practiced with the boy him self. Finally the lad, with that assur ance and sense of prowess which comes under such circumstances, wanted to be let loose, but the father held him back until he felt perfectly satisfied. Not long ago, juBt as the school was about to close, ho told his son to go ahead. An opportunity soon presented itself, and it Would be hard to describe the sensation that followed when the young whippersnapper who had been taking thumps for a year or two sailed in and laid out completely two of the biggest bullies and braggarta in the schooL -Philadelphia Times. A Youthful Hero. The story cf a brief but great career told at a coroner's inquest in London deserves a place in the world's record of heroes. It is the simple record of a little lad of 10, John Clinton by name, 6on of a humble carman. A few months ago the boy saved his baby brother from burning to death. The child had set fire to his clothing and the curtains. John ny rolled the baby along the carpet till the fire was extinguished. He then tore down the burning curtains, receiving severe burns on his hands and arms. The other day the boy's companions were wading along the bank of the Thames when a little fellow got beyond his depth and called for help. Johnny Clinton jumped in and saved him. Then, as the rescued boy told the coro ner: "After Jack pulled me out he slipped back into deep water, and we didn't see him again."

One of the things w hich will engage the attention cf the city council at its next meeting will be whether the city f hall pay one or two men a9 watchmen ior the Kansas avenue bridge. Councilman Burgess is pushing the matter. He thinks that tne city can rather afford to do without one or two of its sanitary officers than without a bridge watchman, and that uniesi there is some one to keep droves of cattle and heavily loaded wagons oil the bridga it may fall down and result ia the destruction of ixth life and property. The mayor and several members of tho council think that it ia the duty of ihe metropolitan police to guard the bridge, and some assert that the appoint ment by the mayor and council of a bridge watchman would not stand.

A CHIGGElt CEMETERY. Sow Too. Slay Avoid Becoming One. The I hirer's Interesting Personality. Chiore A flea-like insect, reddish In color, found on grass aud weeds In .America, watch bui ies Useif beneath the epidermis and. causes irritation. The Dietiouary. Probably no other implement of torture save perhaps the heat of the sun, ia re ceiving the amount of public attention in Topeka that is just at present accorded this thoroughly exasperating, morals-destroying agency. Although he may be referred to in some dozen contortions of orthography, none of them seem quite to expressive to the man who has been formally introduced to him, as the good old Anglo-Saxon dash. The most com mon American reference however, though it is not to be found in the dic tionary, is "chigger," and by this handle then shall we kuow him. Socially, the chigger ia delightfully in formal and not at all exclusive. How ever, if you ever become thoroughly ac quainted with him it will be by a scratch. That's what the chigger is there for. His peculiarity lies in his fatal desire to bur row in human flesh, and he has never been known to ask for a quit claim deed on the flesh. If it is there, it is his'n. No person is thoroughly selfish, and it is doubtful if any well meaning man who haa not a heart of stone, would make serious objection to becoming the last resting place of any respectable chigger of well known ancestry if the chigger would do it quietly and be decent about it. But he doesn't. No well bred chig ger will steal quietly into your sys tem and take an entirely undue advan tage of your inducements as a cemetery. He prefers to make his presence more than a mere matter of supposition. To this end the chigger early in life famil iarizes himself with both the skirt and serpentine dances. You endeavor to quiet him with your attention but he re fuses to be quieted aud then it is that you begin to cast about yon for some sterner raeans. A Journal, reporter secured some ex cellent specimens of this interesting study in natural history recently, almost without effort. They were tine large Gartield park chigera and lie knew they were there. Scratching simply en couraged them, he found, aud so he sought the advice of a friend. '1 his friend was a tieud. "Scratch th places raw," he said, "and then bathe them well in aromatic spirits of ammonia." The reporter did and the friend has wisely gone to Colorado to spend the summer. But it killed the chiggers! Perhaps the best authority in town on chiggers is Dr. L. M Powell. ''The best remedy for chiggers that I know of," said he, "is to keep off the grass. Or if you have been invited to a picnic and leel that you must make a sacrifice of yourself, get home'as quickly as possible aud take a good bath. The chigger does not go into the flesh immediately by any means. When you begin to scratch then the chigger begins to dig. Look for your chigger before you scratch and you can find him. Then pick him off and hurl him from you. If he is a Vinewood c higger, take a club. Of course you have heard of the old-fashioned remedy, salt and water. That is good. Any antiseptic remedy ia good, aud the stronger it ia better.' Dr. Menninger's opinion of the chig ger was much the same; and so, in fact, were those of all the other physicians that a Journal reporter called on for in formation yesterday. "After you have succeeded in allowing the chigger to incarnate himself, you cannot discourage him without more or less injury or hurt to yourself. Probably the surest means is to bathe the affected parts with pure aqua ammonia. It will sting fur a while, and you should be careful in its use, but you will find it satisfactory so far as the chigger Is con cerned." There is another doctor further down the street that the reporter called on, but whose name will not be printed because the reporter haa a shirt in the laundry here. He is a big man and carries him-t-elf with impressive dignity. 'A man,'' said this doctor with a grunt, ''who is such a colossal fool as to let a little thing like an insignificant chigger lother him, ought to suffer. He ia cer taiuly either very tender skinned or hasn't sense enough to apply a simple i emedy." The doctor thoughtfully reached down und scratched his right leg. "Soap and water, sir, will remove any chigger. Simply soap and water. If a iaau will bathe daily and what respect able man does not, sir he may go into the grass with impunity." The doctor here bestowed a little time on his left leg. "But what disgusts me, sir, is that a man a man, mark you will allow chiggers to so disturb his peace of mind. No cuigger will be noticed if he is not scratched, and has man lost so much of his masculine will power in this age that he caunot refrain from a thing so frivol ous as scratching? A womau or a child might ge; that way and show it, but a mau never." There is no telling what more the doc tor might have said in the strength of his disgust if he had not felt suddenly impelled t drop the book be was hold ing, and without regard for hia shattered glasses make most unique and savage passages up and down his legs with his linger nails, accompanying his antics with exclamations that would All whole columns with dashes. His agony was so apparent that the reporter, wondering if anything could be done to save him, asked, "What seems to 'oe the matter, doctor?" "Chiggers, you, sir, chiggers;" snorted the doctor, and the reporter re tired. The Kindergarten. The Kindergarten association have not made their final decision as to the em ployment of the proposed teacher and the establishing of a normal training rchool ia Topeka. They will probably decide this question at their meeting, to be held at the Copetand Thursday morn ing. In the meantime they would like to know as far as obtainable, just who they can depend upon as pupils in the training school. Any person desiring or who are considering this question either for themselves or for their friends, are requested to correspond with the presi dent, Mrs. Eliz-i W. Bowmaa or Mrs. Margaret Hill McCarter, secretary. Hello, Jonrfl! Do yon think you could supply me with ice? Why yes, madam.

M'INEZ IS DEAD. A Horse Said to be Worth $4,000 Dies of Co Ho. George "W. Warren, the well known Topeka horseman, says he has more hard luck than anybody else in the broad, fer tile state of Kansaa. Today li is swift trotter, Mclnez, (No. 14.78J) died at ;the fair grounds. Mclnez waa one of the most valuable horses in the state and had gone a mile in 2:12. Great things were expected of him this fall. But Mclnez was taken with spas modic colic last night and all the veter inary surgeons in town were out there and couldn't help the poor animal. They only Bhot morphine into him so that the end might be painless. Warren paid $1,800 cash for a half interest in Mclnez last winter. The other half is owned by J. W. Foreman of Independence, Iowa. But this is only one case of Warren's hard luck. Lot long ago he sent a valu able animal to Kansas City to run ia a race. It ran into a fence and killed it self. Not long ago a mnn called to pay him 30J for a horse, and when he went out to look at the horse he found it in the throes of death. Warren says he doesn't ask any special favora at the liand of fortune, but if luck will come aia way for just thirty daya he will sell every horse he's got and retire. RAILROAD KOTES.

Ttach tl Children to Swim Good Results Always Wlin Mjr Ijn!y Sleeps The Fe male Ui-ltish "Dreininw" Items of Inter est to 3Iot!ier and Housekeepers. Kentucky has one violinist, Miss Cur rie Duke of this city, who cannot com plain of a lack of appreciation. She is tho daughter f General Basil Duke, the trot her-in-1 aw and accessor to Gen eral John II. Morgan, the daring Con federate cavalry leader. Miss Currie re turned horns last year after five years spent in musical studies iu Germany. She has been engaged an a soloist for Thomas' orchestra next season and is a beautiful voman as -well as an accom plished musician. She lias been admired and praised at home, and at a concert t-he gave last week at Lawrenceburg Attorney L. II. Carter of that town in troduced her with tho following bit of dazzling Kentucky rlicroric: "Since the gladsome morn of creation, when the stars sang together and the universe resounded with the symphony as the hand of God swept it into har mony, music has played no small part in the history of tho world. All men ev erywhere barbaric arid civilized are eensiblo to its magic spell. I have al ways maintained that that education is incomplete which develops the body in the gymnasium, the mind in the col lege curriculum and leaves uncultivated the emotional nature. To think and to do the right it is necessary to feel the right. Such a feast and such a pleasure have I the honor to herald to you tonight. "The very distinguished daughter of one of Kentucky's mcst distinguished and honored suns a son who both in the tented field and at the bar, has rep resented tho highest typo of Kentucky manhood is here to ravish and steal away our hearts with the sweetest strains that ever breathed in human eouls. Mythology tells us that Orpheus played so divinely on tho lyro that all nature stopped to listen to his music, and she who will open tho crust of care tonight and start the liquid flow of joy in your soul is no unworthy disciple of him whose head and lyro floated 'down tho swift Helms to tho Lesbian shore.' Prom tho hours of prattling childhood the witchery of hr performance on the violin was known and appreciated, the wonder and pride of her friends. What tho greatest masters at home and abroad could do was dune, r.nd in tho fullness of time she burst forth on an astonished world a star of tho rirs-t magnitude, be foro whom p-jl'd the greatest reputations in the musical world.- As a violinist she utood without u p;-er among womankind, ur.d with very few, if any, among the sterner sx. The greatest talent of Eu rope wondered, ad tailed and praised, nid h'-r native land rteeived her as the child of her pride, well worthy the tri umph;; but, above all. Kentucky is proud of her most distinguished daugh ter and claims her a-; her own: "Ours whi!t' dearhies love remains. Oars by riiiit divine a.nd human. Cms 1'or worth arid f iiiie endears. And, by a heritage in i-ommou. Ours through aileieinal years. "Beautiful, talented, distinguished, B great artist and a si: per b type of wo manhood. I introduce to you in the per son of Curiae Duke." Louisville Bet ter. Teneh Cliildreu to Swim. In view of the many and harrowing deaths by drowning that aro always araong the distressing incidents of the ummer season, it would seem as though parents would consider it far more nec essary to have their children taught to swim than to spend ho much care and trouble on accomplishments that are of no earthly value to the latter who gets into water over his or her head. This little preach is not meant in any way to rau down tho advantages to be derived from tho highest mental training, but what good will diplomas and honorary degrees be if in a moment of impulsive recklessness or owing to some unforeseen accident the student learns, alas! that it is sink or swim, with nino chances out of ten in favor of the former, if thera has never here tofore been given, along with tho other thought to bo uecessary lessons, a sin gle one in one of the most important branches of human education? Boys anil girls alike should be given instruction in this branch. Parents would feel highly incensed if some out sider were to remark that they cared more for the mental hialth of their chil dren than for their physical welfare. Yet in many cases this is true, though perhaps unwittingly so. Outside of the fact that a knowledge of swimming may some time be tho means of saving life, it is a most healthful and delight ful exercise, even though never put to any more exacting purpose than to pass away pleasantly a few hours at the na tatorium or in tho suif. In giving chil dren ad many of the pleasures of life as lie within the power cf their parents, to gTant lessons in swimmiug should be among the first thought of, for the pas time, unlike many ot.iers, serves a dou ble purpose that may some dav prove its practical usefulness. Philadelphia Times. I Good Ilesult- Always. 1 The results of woman suffrage peem to be curiously alike all the world over. The last number cf Lady Henry Somer set's paper, The Woman's Signal, of London, contains a latter from a New Zealand correspondent giving some in teresting facM in regard to the newly enfranchised women of the antipodes, who cast their first parliamentary vote at the recent elections. Though the time allowed for registration was short, 109, 4C1 women registered, of whom 90,290 voted. There were 193,536 men regis tered, of whom 129,792 voted. "It was iound that the prese:ace of large num bers of women was a far more effectual restraint on ruffianism than the police force could have been. Every male voter ,i&ud a sister, wile, ir other, daughter or some one equally dear to him for whose sake all riotonsness must be restrained. The daily papers were unanimous in their reports as to the good order that prevailed. The elections resulted in a defeat for the Conservatives, but many causes combined to bring this about A result more distinctly attributable tc the women's vote is that "the present parliament is a cleansed and purified one. A number of M. H. R. 's, whose reputation had been unsavory, have been rejected, though professing the popular creed in politics. In all this it will be seen, "says the New Zealand correspondent, "that the moral and so cial condition of the nation is, from a woman's standpoint, the first consider ation, Boston Transcript. When My Lady Sleeps. The new night robes are victims ol the lace craze, like all else which per tains to my lady's wardrobe. They are gay with ribbons, too, and many are pret ty and elaborate enough to appear as tea gowns. The night robe in best taste is white. A dainty and not too dressy gown is made of sheer cambric with a deep yoke of torchon lace. This is outlined with a rufBe of cambric edged with lace, so that the whole appears much like a sail or collar. It is fastened in front with narrow white moire ribbons. The full sleeves are also tied with a little bow at the wrist and finished with a deep fall of lace. Nightgowns of nainsook are trimmed elaborately with Valenciennes lace. Many of the gowns have tho lace inser tion arranged to simulate a bolero jack et. The lace frills which outline it make the effect soft and pretty. White embroidery with a colored edge Is much in favor for tho less expensive nightgowns, and coarse, embroidered yokes aro finished with heading through which nrrrow ribbons are run. A rath er eccentric novelty, and one which pre sumably will not be welcomed with fer vept joy, is the gown of delicately tint ed chambray, trimmed with ecru inser tion and lace. Philadelphia Tin es. Tlie Female Ilritish "llrtimmer." The "lady commercial" is fast be coming an institution in Birmingham, as elsewhere. She is, generally speak ing, quite as smart and resourceful as her male competitor, and her sex gives her an additional advantage. Apart al together from the difficulty cf saying "No" to a woman, especially if young and handsome, the more drastic meth ods of getting rid of unwelcome impor tunities are obviously cut of the ques tion when the "traveler" is of tho gen tler sex. And thou, of .course, the la ly is bound to have the last word. An en terprising member of the fraternity or should I rather say sisterhood: called upon a local firm the other morning. She was assured that the stock in hei special line was full up. "But I should like to show you my samples. I'm sure you'd like them. "Not today, thank you. Besides we Lave no account with your firm." "I know you hascn't, but you'll allow me to open one, won't your Only a small lino "or a beginning?' "No; we positively don't require anything in that way just now." Really! Well, g od morning. I'll call again in the afternoon. Gentlemen are generally more open to reason when they have, dined. Birmingham MaiL Women Ofiiceliolders Abroad. There are at present 5,358 women in French provincial postoflices and 1,000 female telegraph clerks. In 09 towns the telephone stations are uuLjr the man agement of women, afTordiug employ ment for 745 women. The national sav ings banks employ 425 women, etc. The railways have, however, been the best friends to the women. It was the Dombes company which made the experiment with employing female clerks at tho of fices or as station mistresses at the small stations, but gradually nearly all tho French railway companies have follow ed this example. Women are employed j at the ticket offices as watchers, et c. Tho East company employs 8, 0 '2 wcrr.cn. North company, 2, T'JO; the Paris-Lyons Mediterranee, 5,728; the Orleans com pany, 4,358 altogether some 24,000 women in which number the thou sands of f em tile gatekeepers are not in cluded. In the whole of Europe it is calculated that over 009, 000 women hold public appointments. London Qjaeeu. Indian Carpet for the Queen. Those who have recently raised tho question of the import of prison made goods from abroad will perhaps read with surprise that the queen will short ly be tho possessor of one of the most re markable articles ever made in a prison. The superintendent of Agra jail some months back received an order to weave a carpet cf special design for her majes ty. This is now complete. On it 28 of the deftest convicts of the establishment have been engaged, and tho texture measures 77 feet by 40 feet and is esti mated to contain no fewer than 9, 000, -000 stitches. The pattern, known as tli3 Poona, is rarely met with. It has a dark ground, upon which the device and bor der aro executed in delicate shades of vegetable dyed blues, yellows, browti3 and greens. Tho carpet, which is of great value, will be used in he r majes ty's Indian room at Osborne. The Agr j jail convicts are also making a carpet for the German emperor. Manchester Examiner. yew I J rooms Wanted. A Washington correspouueut writes to an exchange: I am in favor of electing at least 0119 dozen women as members of the house, woman suffrage or no woman saffrage The place ia so foul and nasty that to sit for two hours in its bad smelling at mosphere completely prostrates one. The house appoints committee after committee to look after the "ventila tion," and it results in nothing. What the place needs is a regular houseclean ing, the floors scrubbed, the cellars whitewashed, the carpets shaken, the walls frescoed and woodwork repainted.

Six of a Kind. The most decided effort to set the pace or fashion in connection with bath ing suits was made recently by a partj of six Philadelphia girls, who are stop pmg at a swell ocean front hotel at At lautic City. Three of them are sisters. On tho afternoon of July 4 they created a mild sensation on the beach by ap pearirg iu lovely pure white cashmere bathing robes, made in the regulation style ami neatly trimmed at the skirt, waist and sleeves with many strands ol narrow black cord. About the neck oi each fair maiden was a black silken cord, from which depended a small sil ver whistle. The latter were vigorously piped when any of tho merry party strayed from the flock, and altogether the girls were tlie cynosure of all eyes, had a gooel time and were much admir ed. Atlantic City Correspondent. A Hundred Years Ago. Women grow more frivolous every day. Young ladies scorn housework and learn to embroider, to play the piano and to flirt while their mothers are en gaged in all the drudgery of tho house hold. They eschew all useful reading and prefer French novels to English classics. In selecting husbands they choose dandies with social graces rathei thau men with solid attainments. They are full of strange, whimsical notions peculiar to the age. Reader, this is a synopsis of the opinions of an English magazine writer of 1789 on the women of his time. They sound very much as if they were written by certain pessi mists of today. There is no new thing under the sun. Boston Transcript. A Useful Club. There is a club of women in New York city that is as modest as it is re markable. It is called tho Best Way club and is composeel of well to do wo men living in a handsome cross street up town.

An Englishman riding In a train oui west went into the dining room car for dinner. He was told by the waiter that the price of the dinner was $1. "Yes, sir," said the waiter, volunteer ing this further information, "$1, and you can eat all you want, sir.' The Englishman had a good appetite, and he ate a large dinner, paying his dol lar cheerfully and giving the waiter a "tip." Tho next day he entered the dining room car of another train for luncheon. He was then in Canada. Picking up the menu card, the Englishman of large appe tite gave an order that made the waiter open his eye3 in astonishment, but it is the business of waiters to supply the ap petites of people, not to criticise them, and he began to serve the luncheon. The Eng lishman ate steadily and industriously and with evident relish. When he had finished his meal, his face wore a look of great content. He fished in his pocket for u dollar.looked at the check and gaspetl. ''What's this?" he asked. "Seven dol lars and fifty cents! Why, man, this is a mistake. Meals are only $1, and you eat all you want." "Not on this cyah, suh, said the wait er, who was black as ebony and possessed a smile of amplitude. "Y'u o'der by de card, suh, an pay f uh what y'u cat. Yas, suh. Y'u od'er al a carte, suh." The Englishman picked up the menu card and studied it carefully, his face get ting redder as he scrutinized it. It's an outrage," he said. "It's de rules, suh," said the waiter re spectfully. Yas, suh." "My friend," said a passenger, who had a twinkle in Ids eye, "I think I can ex plain. On the roads in the United' States you pay for your meal whether you eat only a bite or not. But, sir, we are now in her majesty's dominion." "Ah," said the Englishman in a more hope-ful voice. "Yes, sir, and in her majesty's domin ion every precaution is taken to protect the patrons of a railroad from imposition. So you see. sir, hero you only pay for what you order and eat." Tho Englishman seemed to run over in his minel a long list of diihes which he had ordered, for his face fell. "Yes, it's a very good arrangement." said the other softly. "It protects the trav eler, you see. "But, see here," said the Englishman indignantly, "they have the dishes on 'this card in prominent letters, and away off on this side in small letters the prices. Now. sir," he cried hotly, "I'm nearsighted, and over in tho States they told me the price of a meal was $1, anel of course I was not on tho lookout for swindlers among the employees of this company." "But, you see, sir," saiel tlie other, "the purpose of this arrangement is a good one. ''Eh?" said the Englishman wrathfully. ''How do 1 know," he thundered "that this isn t one of those sharp Yankee tricks, got up in the States and sent over here into Canada to swindle innocent people. I've heard all about theso Yankees," he added in a tone of disgust. He laid some money down on tho chock. It was the even amount. There was no "tip. ''It protects the dining car, too," said the other jiassenger to himself, with a soft smile. New York Tribune. They Were Disappointed. When tho talk turned upon General Sheridan at a New York dinner table the other eveningthe host told a story of how bitterly the general's figure on horseback had disappointed some young women up on the Massachusetts coast. They had never seen Sheridan; but, mindful of his ride, they had ready for him against his arrival at their father's house a mettle some horse in order that they might see him in the saddle. When the guest ar rived, instead of the slender, active cavalry leader of their visions, they saw a red faced, thick waisted, short winded old gentleman, whose presence on the back of the animal they had provided caused apprehension rather than admiration "I've heard Sheridan's side of that story," said one of the guests when the host had ceased speaking. ''A friend of mine met him the next day, and noticing that he limped asked what was the matter. Sherl dan's reply was: 'Oh, I was over at 's yesterday, and those girls of his asked me to ride with them. There was no getting out of it, but as I hadn't been on horse back for a year I'm pretty sore all over. New York Sun. FOUNDRY AND tea ESTABLISHED 1876.

A young' man and a young woman changed from a Belt line to a Four teenth etreet car at the avenue, Washing-ton, and sat in one of the seats in the first car. He was carry ing an overcoat and a satchel and was evidently g-oingf away. She wore a shirt waist and dark skirt, as if start ing1 out on a shopping1 expedition. Just before they reached Sixth street he leaned over her and said quietly, so quietly that only the reporter back of them could hear: "I am going1 to kiss you good-by when I leave the car." Oh, please don't," she said appeal ing'ly; "not before all these people." But he was decided and said per sistently: "Yes I shall; so raise your veil. If you try to resist people will see it and wonder about you, and they will look at you all the way up town after I g-et off." She glanced up shyly and then slowly raised her veil. He bent over her and kissed her and no one in the car looked up. A few people won dered why she was so anxious to show the diamond ring- on the left hand, but n body but the reporter appre ciated the fact that she was trying- to justify the kissing-by means of an en gag-ement ring.

Bat the Procedure Didn't Pa a Out a Profitably aa He Had Expected. Xerxes Jones determined to quit moking, not yon know, that it had any baneful influence upon his health, but solely for tbe reason that he didn't feel justified in spending twenty-five cents a day for the weeay luxury. Jones had a good disposition and began his new scheme on Sunday. "Seeing I've quit smoking, I'll put an extra quarter in the coUection box to-day," he mused, and in the money went. Monday, just to please wife, good Jones bought a his littl forty-cent box of mixtures and handed it over to his wife with the remark: "No, my dear, it's no extravagance. Just about what I saved on cigars to-day, and we both can enjoy this after tea." Tues day Jones bought a fifty-cent toy for his little boy out of the cash saved by abstinence from tobacco. Wednesday he changed his dining place down town from a twenty-five cent place to a fifty-cent table d'hote, feeling justi fied in spending the extra quarter saved on cigars. Apparently forgetting this Thurs day, the reformer remarked to him self: "There's that new umbrella my wife's been talking about. Til buy that and charge it up to two weeks savings on smoke." Friday a new dinner set was purchased to please the wife of his heart, and set over against twenty weeks savings from tobacco and Saturday Xerxes i Jones spent 25 cents for cigars, hav ing lost six days of his luxury, and figured up that he had saved on the wrong side of his books just about S38.90. LITTL.E SKULL OP GLASS. A Boston Man's Ingenious Device for Pre venting; Poisoning- Accidents. The unlabeled poison bottle is as bad as the unloaded gun for causing fatalities. Carelessness at home will render useless the utmost vig-ilance of the drug clerk who relies upon tha warning label required by law to be pasted on all poisonous prescrip tions. To obviate this danger a man living in the suburb of Boston known as Jamaica Plains has made a bottle which very effectually conveys the necessary information as to the dead ly nature of its contents, so that not only he who runs may read but h who cannot read may understand. The bottle is of blue glass, in order that the contents may better resist being- affected by light, and it is molded into the shape of a skull, with cross- be ne a underneath. The word "poison" is placed in raised letters on the forehead, and at the base of the skull a snace has been left for the red label that tells the nature of the drug. The hollow eyesockets, the jawbones and the teeth would tell its purpose to a blind man, and ghastly as it may 6eern to those who are blessed with sight, it is better to be frightened than to die. That at least is the philosophy of the inventor, and he is not a druggist, or doctor, by the way, but a plain, every day jobber in boots and shoes. ENGLISH ORTHOEPY. The Work That Ia Heine Done by a Pri vate Tutor of Foreigners. In the national capital is a private tutor of English to foreigners who trains them in the idioms of pronun ciation with this chain of similarly spelled words: "Though the tough cough and hiccough plough me through." The result is humorous as these samples of the efforts of the pupils will show: "Tho the to co and hicco plo me thro. Thuf the tuf cuf and hiccuf pluf me thruf. Thof the tof cof and hiccof plof me throf. Tbup the tup cap and hiccup plup me thru p. Thoo the too coo and hiccoo ploo me throo." It is not surprising that Voltaire, when he began to study English and learned that ague was pronounced as two syllables and plague as one, should have wished that half of the English had the one disase and the other half the other. Earning- Mountain of CoaL At Winger, in New South Wales, there is a burning mountain. It is 1,820 feet in height, and is supposed to be a large coal seam which has ix some unaccountable way become ignited, and has been burning for many years, certainly long before the advent of the white man in this por tion of the colony. The course of the fire can be traced a considerable dis tance by the 'numerous depressions or chasms occasioned by the falling in of the ground from beneath which the coal has been consumed. Smoke is continually issuing from the sides of the mountain, and in the vicinity of these openings the surface Is hot, and has a dry, parched appearance, while sticks thrust into these openings are readily ignited. Rather a Knowing; Cat. J. W. Moses, of Megquier Hill, has an unusually intelligent cat, called Isaac, who is very fond of fresh fish. Recently while the cat was lying on the floor a member of the family said to it: "Isaac, do you want us to go a-fishing?"and then added, "If we had a frog for a bait we would go." On this old Isaac got up with a knowing look and trotted out, only to return in a few moments with a good-sized frog, which he had caught in a swale near by. Never Touched 11 lax.

STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING. AUGUST 1. 1894. C2 WHAT HOT WINDS DID. Detailed. Reports Reach, U. S. Weather Observer Jennings. CENTRAL COUNTIES BADLY BURST JitcUinaon. Harvey and Adjacent Couutit-i Erpert Orn Oestroyed i'roiircti steadily Improve J-:t-ward From That !tlon of the State- United States Weatler Observer Jen nings has received reports from a large number of counties in regard to the dam age dona by the hot winds of last week and subsequent dry weather. Ia some Instances, the injury to crops is not as eevere as reported, in others the worst reports appear to be ve rified. Since the correspondents sent in their roporta.how ever. there has been a rain in a number cf the central counties aad a remnant of the crop ha3 been saved. Bolow we publish the reports ti Mr. Jennings in detail: Atchison All crops in excellent con dition. Apple crop very heavy. Wheat threshing shows very g-ood yield. Rath er dry, but if rain comes within a week no serious damage will re3ulL Brown, Hiawatha The last seven days have completely chanced the appear ance of corn. With abundant rains within a day or two tte very early corn could yet make near half a crop; 2nd early and medium (our largest acreage) would be at least benefited as the pollen la nearly all dry or blown oil and but few ears started. The late and very lato with plenty of rain within a week could yet make a fair crop if not injured by early frosts. Horton, without a orn rain for two weeks, the extremely high temperature has injured the earlier planted corn fully one half it was a full stand, and Buckered badly, which accounts in part for its being badly injured. With good rains poori the late planted will be in condition to promise a fair crop. Pierce Junction, the corn promises a corn crop, the hot winds Thursday and Friday in jurd some fields. The drouth and bugs have greatly injured the potato crop. Apples abundant and ine quality. Mil let and oats good. Wheat excellent. Pastures short. Chautauqua This has been the worst mouth on corn we ever had in this county, we wont get to exceed half a crop. Hay, millet, Kaffir corn and sorglium will be very light crops. Wheat was good, oats better than expecteL Cherokee Corn bo far is all rijht ex cept a strip on the we it side of the coun ty, where corn is reported as tiring a lit tle. Apple crop light; hay medium; wheat good; oats average; flax a full av erage. Pastures good but will soon need rain. Coffey, Gridley W.th rain in a few days mosi of the corn will make a fair crop. Potatoes pl;m.y; hay good; flax yielding from 7 to 1U bushels; oats from 15 to VU good quality. Pastures hold ing out good; stock doing well. Lebo Corn spotted, hot witds have cooked it in small patcues surrounded by areas of partly injured. Abo at ten per cent of com ruined and twea'-y per cent injured. Early planted is praci ically made though would be fuller and heavier had not this spoil struck us. Listed corn standing it well. Prairie hay bhorh Pastures in jured. Apples tine, but beginning to fall. Gardens struck. Douglas Corn will soon be greatly damaged unless it rains. Elk Corn standing it well, but need ing rain badly. Pastures and stockwater drying up fast. Geary Corn is suffering for want of rain, and unless a god rain comes soon will be a failure; riucb upland corn cured like hay, and fruits wilting on trees. Jackson Corn has been injured some cy the hot atmosphere, the southeastern half of the county is in better shape than the northwestern half. Johnson Corn so far advanced that the two days of hot winds did not injure it. Montgomery, Coffeyville Hot winds for several days. Corn on bottom lands injured-50 per cent, c-ii uplands 75 per cent, meadows and pastures almost dry enough to burn, millet and late potatoes vill be total failures, apples badly dnn uged, melons, cabbage, tomatoes, and late gardens ruined. Kik City The 107 degrees of the 'lth tired much corn, each day causing it to gro- worse up to date. "With rain in the near future the corn of this locality cannot make more than 40 per cent of a full crop. Independence A eevere week on corn, which on thin soil is tired to tassel; that on deep mel low soil has stood the ordeal well, and would b much benefited by rain yet. The mean temperature for the week is 6.:i degress above the normal. Pottawatomie Never was a better prospect for corn than one week ago but hot winds seemed to burn it like a blast from a furnace. There seems to be no choice between early or late planted, on high or low land; immediate rain ruignt save a part of the crip. Kiley As a result of the week's weather all crops are. in a critical condi tion; apples are dropping badly, early com much damaged but with a good rain immediately wo ill make something, late corn not so badly hurt but cannot make over two-thirdi of a crop; pastures poor and cattle being sent to market; etockwater drying up, wells going dry and springs that never before failed are dry. Wilson Fields of corn that ten days ago promised of twenty-five to forty bushels will not make one quarter that amount; corn in the bottoms that was not overflowed has rot suffered so much, while many fields on uplands will burn. A passing traiu set fire to a meadow; tomatoes cooked oa the vines, garden stuff badly used up. Woodson Hot winds and dry weather have damaged late corn, early planted is bo far advanced that the damage will not amount to much. Harbor, Kiowa Hottest week known by old timers. Com past help from rain, pastures dry, no stock water. Corn that promised a full crop on the 15th now will not average more than 10 bushels per acre. Late peaches dry and withered on the trees. Medicine Lodge Crops burned up. Barton Hot winds 2 to 4 hours nearly every day this week. Corn entirely used up. other crops, such as millet, cane, etc., about the same way. Cloud Hot wind have damaged corn, but impossible to tell just how much. iSome bottom fields appear to be in very good condition, while much of the up land, especially the early corn appears to be beyond hope. Fivorable condi tions from now oa will give us a good half crop. Cowley Southern part of the county The corn crop is practically a failure, farmers report possible one-fourth crop. Kaffir corn is growing right along, millet a total failure, sorghum all right, prairie hay coming in from the atrip has a t urned appearance. Farmers are plowing for wheat Dickinson Hot wind four days this week, corn burnt up, hay and other vege tation dried up, rain will help late hay but not the corn. Harvey The corn crop, which was the best in many years, is now a complete failure, all crops completely burned up. fodder cutting will be general this week.

SEEKING INGALLS' RECORD Brown Says Ila Voted Against Striking Out tho Word "Wlilte." Colonel John M. Brown spent the greater part of yesterday looking up la gall's record in the senate and his vote on questions affecting the colored race. Ingall's letter did not have a pacifying effect upon Colonel Brown. "We will shown Mr. Ingalls that the colored peo ple are thinking a little now, even if all the leaders are crap-shooting negroes," said he. "As far as I am concerned I never saw a game of craps in my life. Neither do I drink or use tobacco, and still I suppose I belonjf to the class re ferred to as crap-shooters. "I find one thing about Ingalls, and that is that during his long term in the senate he never cast his vote to help the colored people. He voted against striking the word white out of the constitution. He voted against a measure to permit men of mixed blood to voto. He voted against Senator Butler's appropriation to assist the colored people to leave the country and instead fcaid that the only hope of solving the negro question wan by exile at least that is the way I un derstood his letter and that is the way the newspapers understood it, for that is what was put in the headlines. "What 1 intend to do is not to fight the Republican party but to see tiiat Ingalls is not sent back to the seuate. We have nothing against the Republican party, but we do object to having au enemy of our race in congress." FOUR NO :,I0RE. Almost Two rilur Railroad Men In Police Court Till Morning-. "Joseph C.Wilson," called Prosecuting Attorney Hungate this morning, and the police court crowd drew a startled breath. It was only a tramp, however, and he was charged with peddling with out a license. The response to the summons was rather mirth provoking because of the fact that the wrong man came in. He was the tramp spoken of as haviug beea fined five dollars for drunkenness yester day, and when ho heard the new charge he pleaded guilty, although he had not been out of the jail. When the mistake was discovered he was taken back to the cell room. The real culprit had been released on his own recognizance, and had forgotten to come lack, so the case was continued until tomorrow morning. Wui. Myers was a smooth faced young man with a quid of tobacco and an in jured air. William was charged with having been drunk and stealiug a box of fresh lish from the Rock Island depot. He pleaded guiity to being drunk, but added, "Yer ouner wat wo ild I want wid dem fish?" The judge didn't know what, he wanted and didn't care. The fact that he had been seen carrying the lish was sufficient and the judge gave him a sentence of twenty dollars. Wil liam thought it was a good deal an 1 the judge thought it was a dood deal too, though they didn't exactly agree with each other in their meaning, an Wil liam wa3 returned to the prison and thence to the rock pile. James Hess, who was charged with being "under the influence' and stealing the coat, vest and hat of William Butler, whose case came later, was next called Jim claimed to be suffering with a severe burn on his chest and arms. He said he received it from upsetting some acid while helping a man move a drug store near Wichita, and he wanted to get to Kansas City to get into the hospital. Jim is not the only man who has been burned from fooling around a Kansas drugstore. It was not proved he had stolen the Loy'i clothes, and his fine was only five dollars, which he is working out. The boy who had missed the coat, Wm. Butler, came next to answer to the charge of vagrancy. He lived in Kansas City, he said, and had been to Wichita to see his aunt all the tramps are from Kansas City and have aunts in Wichita. He told a pretty straight story and as he was only sixteen years old and promised to get out of the city, the judge let him go. The city scavenger case came next. M. 11 Lowe was charged with doing scav enger work without a license. As J udge Hazen now has an injunction in this case under advisement it was concluded to continue the case until September 1st, or after the decision. The docket was clear again. 3IC WILLIA3IS LET GO. Released on a Writ of Habeas Corpus by Judge Hnzrt). In response to the summons from Judge llazen, Chief Lindeey' and Jailer Woodruff went before the judge late yesterday afternoon with their prisoner John H. McWilliams. Judge llazen made a few inquiries about the case and then granted the writ. The case will be heard again Septem ber 8th, and until then McWilliams will have his liberty. Vance aod Campbell and R. li. Welch appeared for the plain tiff, and City Attorney Tillotsca for the police. McWilliams' bjnd ws placed at 100 which was furnished by John Wilkerson and John W. Dalton. Chief Lindsey remarked after McWilliams' re lease that he had at least "made the county officers show their ha-ids." He claims the officers want McWilliams to be at large so he can get out of the state and not have to testify against them. Today the police are talking about having McWilliams arrested again eta the charge of criminal libel. They want him locked up not because they have the least personal animosity towards him. (they say) but to "keep him in the state." American Steam Laundry, 112 West 7th street, tele, 311, TO EXTEND THE MAINS. Councilman iirlg Wants Fire Protec tion For the Fifth. Ward. Councilman Griggs of the Fifth ward, will make an attempt before the couacil to have the water mains extended south into Martin Dennis addition. The city ia now involved in a law suit over the question a3 to whether the municipality can compel the company to extend its mains, and a decision will probably not be made untii late in the falL Mr. Griggs thinks that the council might enter into a contract with the com pany which would be satisfactory. "The council could agree to pay for the exten sion, if the suit ia decided against the city, and the company would undoubted ly enter into such an agreement," he said. "I do not believe there is any war rant of law for a part of the citizens of Topeka to be deprived of proper protec tion for their property. Several houses burned last year in the southern part of the city simply because the firemen, could not get water, and there is no rea son to believe that a less number will be destroyed by fire this year. The exten sions should be made before winter and there is no prospect of the suit being de cided in time to put in the mains this year." HE MAY BE PENSIONED. The Government Investigating; the Case of an Old Deaf Soldier. Fred Hartman is an old German who lives at 1324 Washington street. He is an ex-union soldier and received a wound in the arm, on account of which he has since drawn a small pension. It seems that at the time Hartman was wounded the bursting of a shell injured hia hear ing and he has been almost totally deaf since the war. Sixteen years ago he applied for an in crease of his pension but the old man can talk English only very imperfectly and his claim became so mixed and the evidence so uncertain that nothing was done. The claim has since been on file in the United States pension office. A few days ago Special Pension Exam iner Kingsley received an order from the pension department to look up Hartman and make an investigation of his case and it may not be long until the old man is gladdened by a pension which will place him above want for the rest of his days. The rating for total deafness is $30 per month. HE NEVER FOUND HER. Miss Boncsteel Irretrievably Lost Prof. Lsontrd Clalrvoyanclng in Chicago. One day a man wearing many diamonds and considerable nerve arrived in Topeka and with a flourish of trumpets and linger rings announced that his name was Prof. Henry Leonard and that he was going to tind Miss Maud Bonesteel the lost daugther of a Kansas city doctor within sixty days. Prof. Leonard who called himself the "King of the Clairvoyants" stayed in Topeka about ten days and acted as mysteriously as mind readers, clairvoy ants and confidence men are supposed to act. When this myterious individual left Topeka he said he was going to create tiie sensation of the age by finding Miss Bonesteel, but sixty, ninety and mauy more days have corne and gone, and still the world has not been startled by the finding of Miss Bonesteel.

There is a doctor in a neighboring city who makes a specialty of diseases of the nose and throat. He is a skillful and sue- cessful practitfoner and has made a great reputation for himself. One morning, not eo very long ago, a young man went tc eee hiin. The specialist asked him a fetf questions, peered down his throat and then took a towel and wet it under a tap. He handed the towel to the young man and said: '"Put that towel over your nos trils and mouth and go into this room In the rear of my office. Breathe through It until I tell you to come out. Do not, in any circumstance, remove the towel until I -jatl you into this office." The young man did as he was bid. He walked into the rear room, which was a email, dingy place littered with instru ments and books and containing two easy chairs. As he went in he looked at his watch. It was 11:80 o'clock. He placed the wet towel over his nostrils and mouth and sat down in one of the chairs. He had not been there longer than 15 min utes when the door opened and the rathet pretty younj woman whom he had ob served in the waiting room came In. She carried a wet towel in her hand, and she carefully placed it over her nostrils and mouth and sat down in the other chair. They sat there for half an hour longer. Then the girl thought ot something. She held up hef hand3 and slowly and labori ously spelled out with har fingers, "Do you understand the sign language?" The young man nodded his head vigorously. Then she spelled out, "What on earth makes him keep us here 60 long?" The young man's fingers told her that he didn't know. "I don't dare go away or go out there," she epelled. "for he's awful cross, and he's so high priced and knows so much that I want to get all the good I can from him this visit." "Same here, "spelled the young man. By this time It was 3 o'clock. They moved their chair3 together, still keeping the now dry towels over their mouths and nostrils and talked with their fingers foi another hour. At 4 o'clock the Imprison ment became little less than torture. They could not walk around, for if they did the towels would drop off, and that would never do. They did not want to go out into the doctor's office, for they did not know but the doctor might have an ex cellent object in keeping them there. They endured another hour. When the young man looked at his watch for the three hundred and thirty -seventh time, he found it was 5 o'clock. During that hour, from 4 to 5, he had been growing very restless. He was hungry. At 5 o'clock he tore oft the towel and said vigorously: "I'll not stay here another mi nute for all the throat doctors in the world. This is a blank blank outrage. The young woman pulled her towel down and said, "Oh, I'm ever so much obliged to you for that!" Then together, carrying the towels, they went out to the other office. It was empty. They went into the waiting room. There was no ono there. They walked out the front door and down the step. They saw no one. Half a block down the 6treet they met the doctor ambling along with a big cigar in his mouth and a look of seren contentment on his face. "Here!" shouted the young man to him as the three met. "What in the name of the larynx of thd great joss do you mean by keeping us in that room so long?" The look of contentment on the doctor' face gave place to a startled expression. "Why," he said confusedly, "upon my soul. I forgot all about you." Buffalo Express. All Ilicht .Either Way.
