Robinson is Made Acting President. The principal topic of conversation on tho streets today is the resignation of I 1 President Reintart, foreshadowed in our j dispatc ies yeslerd.iv. Mr. Reinhart's resignation was accepted today. A gentleman who keows a great deal aluu: Sa.ita Fe affairs and who is one of il.ceiver Wilson's closest friends said to a Joe UN a i. reporter to-day: "li is not ger erally known, but there v.a-i an open rupture between Mr. Wilson u:id the other receivers of the Santa Fe t.io last-time they met at St. Louis. Mr. JioCook attempted to give Mr. Wilson roi.ie pointers about what he should do, and .V r. Wilson who had become wearied of this sor: of thing lost pa tience and said, 'oee here, Mr. McCook I know as much about the inatiagemeut of the Santa Fe railway as you do, and I feel able to act. without your assistance. "This of course was practically a dec laration of war, aid when Judge Cald well heard atu u; it, he said Receiver Wilson did right. Treasurer W ii ler has not been a party to the Santa Fe irregularities. He is a representative of tho old school of hon esty and integrity of which Mr. A. A. Robinson was i.lso a member". Some lime ago Mr. Wilder used to receive vouchers lor the salaries of the principal officers of the road tha; were largely i:i excels of their stated salaries. Mr. Wilder abso lutely refused to pay them until they had been s?nt back to Boston for inspection and approval. 2s ot long after Mr. Wilder was riotilL'd that the head officers of the road would be pai l in Boston without their checks passing through the Topeka otiice. Tnese checks werj. for salaries largely in excess of their regular wages and con tained extra items such as ,"i,UJJ for president of the Arkansas Valley Town Site company and 10,0-0 for some oilics on the Wichita Oc Southwestern, and other sums for unices on auxiliary lines. "These expense accounts became so large that Treasurer Wilder finally kept an account of them in a book now in his oflice which is labeled 'V. P. A.' (various personal accounts). This book contains the explauatio i of nearly all of ',000, 00J of the- shortage that has not been ex plained. Mr. .Little, when he was in Topeka, spent considerable time examin ing this book, Lut that part of his report pertaining to it has not been made pub lic but v gil feNV dil3'- "As f-.-.

We have put him there and we propuso that he shall stay.' In the light of recent ever ts it appears probable, too, that Mr. Roliasuu was ousted because he was too t-crupulous." Mil. Iti:iU Vlli KEsIGNS. Tlie Santa I'm I'rldnt Hands In Hl Kl?ntitn, Wlnlcli Is Accrp'n'. Nevv Yott;, Aug. 11. J. W. Rein hart, president and one of the receiv ers of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa F? railway company, has resigned his position. On Argust 8, Mr. Reinhart, before receiving cV jeiug officially informed of the conter ts of Mr. Little's report, eent tlie following letter to the board of directors cf the Atchison company, and a similar letter was also placed in the Lands of W. II. Peckham, counsel of the Unioi Trust company, to be Wesentid lo the court; "Oestlemes: I hereby tender my resignation as president and director of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Kailwav company, and I request that you will forward a copy of this resig nation to each of the auxiliary com panies composing the system, and that tne directors of such companies will, nlease consider sack copv as ray resig- nation as president and director of eaa of saiu companies "The recent examination or the ac- counts of the company undertaken with my yearly approval has culled attentionto certain methods of state ment which have been the subject of much adverse criticism, So far as I have seen, no imputation has been made upon my personal integrity or any suggestion that I have profited to the slightest degree by reason of the matters criticised. "Certain features of my administra tion have, however, been so generally cr.ticised that I feel, whether rightly or wrongly. I am no loader in full harmony with tho.se interested in the property. "I am satisfied that my further con tinuance as the presi lent of the com pany might be an obstacle in the way of a speedy and successful reorganiz ation of the property. 1 have no de sire to impair in any way the efforts now being- made or which may be made h-'reafter, to put the property on a sound basis for successful opera tion. "Under these circumstances it seems hardly fair that 1 should con tinue to operate the property, even though confident as I am that ultim ately my course will be found to have been to the interest of all. I wish to add, in justice to myself, that I am also impelled to take this course by the fact that my health has for some time been seriously im paired, and I do not feel that, even under the most favorable conditions, I ought longer to cont'mie the strain and respon-dbilitv of th? noition.

Reorganization cocnai'-tee's oflice last evening. "Just wait until I have exam ined tlie books in the ea.-t; then I'll give you something t j talk about.'" This was uttered as Mr. Little went over a copy of Mr. Reinhart's l.a'y reply to tiie expert accountant's pieent;neut to the Reor ganization committee, and which ho toro to pieces in tiie most ea-y manner. "I shall have to reply to Mr. Reiahart's rf ply," said he. "it makes no answer; it gives no fuels; it dals not even in gen eralities. He makes the most absurd statements, which no one can accept, and does not in any particular reply or rather answer any of the specifications I have set forth ba-,ed upon the cold figures as Shown iu tlie company's books." W hat occurred at the meeting of the reorganization committee at which Mr. Reinliart's explanation w is read, is be ginning to fide.' out. .Mr. Reiniiars re ply was laid before the committee at once, and then a statement was made by I Col. J. J. MeCooI-c, tiie t'Micr.'.l counsel t for the Atchison, Topeka ik Santa Fe railroad company. I He said he was not an expert in uc I counting or tratac matters and had not I given special attention to th-.! details of i those departments further than to satisfy I himself that those departmen's are cou ducted by experienced ami capable ofli cials. He wished to stare most explicitly that if rebates had been paid bythecom- j any it had been done without his kuowl j edge or approval. Whatever conclusion j might btj reached by th u'eueral reor- gauization committee, whether it sus tained the position of Mr. Little or Mr. I Rhiuhart iu this matter, he wished to say in the mu.-t definite and explicit way that if the result of the examination should t show that the company's accounts had been in any respect kept in au irregular manner or not in c j:iij liance strictly j with best accounting methods or that the j earnings of the company had been in any respect overstated it had been done without iiis knowledge and of course without his approval. Then Mr. Baring was askel to say I something. IP; said he was not prepared with any written statement for the com i mittee, as he hud h id no notice of its wish that ho shouid aiieud the meeting i only a few minutes before his i.r. iva!. Xo i one could be more astonished than Mr Baring to riad that there existed between the accountant appointed by the commit tee and the company's own accountant any serious diireretices tf opinion. "lie thought, had any difference arisen, it woiud be on questions of pure account ing and of minor importance. Mr. Baring I himself had always received the financial statements rendered him by the account ing department or tae company with tiie utmost conhdeuce iu their perfect har mony. For several years he has had full con fidence iu Mr. Reiuhart" and taid be should hesitate to Witlmraw ttat confi dence until something serious was con clusively proved against Mr. Reinhart's methods. For himself, having ceased to res.de in this country u ar.ur the past three years, and payiag only fleeting an nual visits here, he had during those vis its always endeavored to satisfy himself as to the real position of the company, but he was as little acquainted with the details of the account ia" syt-tem of the books keut a: Topeka and ei.-e .vhere as with the traiSc arrangements under which the president worked his road from the cet;ter of Chicago. Oa all points he was in entire agreement with CoL McCook, whose statcmtiit he hud heard with pleasure. Mr. Baring re gretted that he could give the committee so little information, but said he was most willing and anxious to answer any questions members of the committee wished to put to him if by so doing he could help forward the reorganization of the company, a matter of much interest to all present. All these statements, written and ver bal, made Egbert Little laugh when he got the opportunity to read them over carefully after the meeting. Briefly, Mr. Little says the Reiuhart crowd has been keeping books on wind. The statement he makes to the committee, backed by his investigation of the company's books, shows how the income account and the assets of the Atchison company were ex aggerated if not misstated. "Mr. lieinhart," said he, "claims he has the assets to verify his books. Why does he not produce them? What is the use of your crediting me with $Q) a year in terest on $l,ouo I may have borrowed from you. if I do not pay the interest, and there is no earthly probability of my ever doing so, do you follow me? That's the situation with the Atchison. Their principal even, is wiped out utterly, ir retrievably gone. Wait until I go through the books of the eastern depart ment. Then I'll give you something to talk about." 'PLAIN, VILGAB THEFT. Suosaiion-il .Ed i tor In I of Chicago Paper on the Santa I'n Matter. Chicago, Aug. 11. The Chicago Times publishes a sensational editorial on the Sauta Fe situation. It says: "Every day or so those inquisitive stockholders keep discovering a mdlioi or two lost, stolen or straj-ed in the ac counts of the Atchison, Topeka Sauta Fe railroad. Xow it i3 $7,UuO,00lt, a mere bagatelle of seven millions, which has been paid out in rebates contrary to law; now it is a trifling sum of $:2,0 jv),OiJJ, of which no account can be found upon the books. So instructive just now, when the railroad managers are standing very still and straight, with taeir eyes trained on the little Oiney in the cabinet, to have their pictures taken as the up holders of law and order, as the tri umphant beneficiaries of government protection. Really President Rviinhart of the Santa Fe is a careless sort of fel low to jeopardize so valuable a negative. It is moot embarrassing to the railroad managers, with a new stock of aureoles on hand, to have the public's attention diverted from their stained-glass atti- tudes to what looKs Iiiie a plam, vulgar case of theft on the part of some of taeir number. They ought to shoo tiie Santa Fj out of their sacred society at once, before the rude iu vestigators of that road's books make any more distressing discoveries. It is hardfor-the public to believe that the great men at the head of a railway, system should have really brotcea laws with far longer premeditation thaa any' rioter in the recent labor troubles. For it is an axiom of high repute that l jiiroad presidents cannot sin. Consequently the report tiiat the reorganization cjuiuiitteo intends to ask Mr. Reinhart what has Le como of 3,000,000, a part of these illegal rebates, is enough to give any properly constituted admirer of our railroad aris tocracy a chill. Let us see wh.-t the charges against tiiu Santa Fo's c.'.icials exactly amount tc In the firt place the railroad is iu ll.-m hands of a receiver, having become btAtkrupt in the recent financial crisis. T.a receiver, under that delightful sys teju which is so prevalent nowadays, is the president of the railroad under whose management it had been brought to bankruptcy. But tho stock and boad holders did not for some ui.accouutable reason rest con tented with this exquisitely sim ple maneuver. They formed a reorraui za .iuu committee, and set an expert at wc h upou the books. The first tiling of gr t interest that he found was that i JO0.000 had been paid out as rebates by the Santa Fe to snippers, in plain vio la Ion of the interstate commerce law. It w4S d so a breach of faith with the other railroads which had pooling relations wttu the Santa Fe. The stockholders hid heard as much about these rebates aa the general public namely, nothing. President Reinhart acknowledged that such rebates had beju made, but said they had been entered in the books. That they had not appeared in the finan cial statements of the company was due to the Santa Fe's system of bookkeeping. When Mr. Reinhart was made president there w as a great to do about what he would do to improve tiie bookkeeping of the road. It is already clear that Mr. Reinhart knows how to keep books. Then thu expert went at it again and found five millions of dollars had been given away contrary to law to the road's customers, but of two millions of dollars alleged to have been paid out as rebates they could find no trace. So t.'iat the still more interesting question now stares -Mr. Reinhart and the Santa Fe stockholders in the face. "Where are those iwo milions of dollars? Are they concealed under that marvelous sys tem of book-keeping? Or has there been adied to the breach of the interstate commerce law for infraction of which men were to be shot down by federal troops at the railroad ma:;arers' behest the other day the violation of that simpler commandment, Thou shall not steal? EASTERN MEN" TO COME IX. Tho New Receivers Will In.T ibly lie E is eni"r, SiT Wilder. Treasurer Edward Wilder is the only general omclal of the Santa Fe now in Topeka, ail the rest having been called to -Xew York. Mr. Wilder is very naturally feeling good because of the creditable showing made of the western ofiieers of the road by the report of Mr. Stephen Little. "I caji tell you nothing beyond what has already been printed m tiie newspa pers." said Mr. Wilder. "All the irregu larities are charged up to the eastern offices and we are not interested out here further than we all are anxious that matters may be straightened, out as eaaly as possible. It is unfuriuuate that a large business like this should have to go through such aa ordeal as this, but our earnings our undisputed earuiugs covering tiiteeii years show that the road will with favorable conditions make a good showing of earnings. Wiio tue new receivers will lie, I can not even make a guess, but I suppose they will Le eastern tuej." The clerks and department workers about the general oface building are on the "anxious seat." They are not doing any talking, as aa one man not far from General Manager Frey expressed it this morning: "We regard this an excellent time to saw wood." Another man, whose salary is not a large as he wishes it was, said: "There are a large number of 'figure heads' wearing titles soundkig something like G. B. A. or.U. X. T. drawing good salar ies who will be affected by the reorgani zation of the Santa Fe management. There are a goodly number of these figure heads about the general office building in Topeka and when their rich relations down east are let out, they too vili have to go. "It is freely predicted that instead of 1 iying off a half dozen book-keepers drawing salaries ranging from $33 to ot) a month, when an order for a reduction cf expenses is made, the new manage ment will lay off a few 'poor relations' of some of the ex's who are now draw ing $150 and 200 s. month and don't do any' work." While there is some talk about the possibility of Mr. A. A. Robinson being elected president to succeed Mr. Rein hart, there seems to be no foundation for the talk except that many people would like to see it happen. Mr. Wilder puts it well when he says: "This is an eastern affair. The eastern people are responsi ble for it and they will fix it up." R E A Y FOIiTf US I OX. Populhts in Intliiina Want I But I p in o- crata Hang Hue k. Indianapolis, Aug. 11. The managers of the Democratic party in this state are favoring the suggestion that the state convention of the party, which will meet next week, indorse some of the nominees of the Populists. Since the suggestion was made letters have been received here from nianv members of the purtv. all of whom insist that the Democrats of Indiana shall stand up like men and make a clean-cut fight for the principles of the party, though the act lead to defeat. If the talk of the leaders of the party here is an indication of the sentiment throughout the state the proposition to fuse will not receive consideration by the convention. The Populists, it seems, have been led by some one to believe that there is a possibility ot the Democrats indorsing two or three of the People's party nominees. Such indorsement, the members of the Populist committee in dicate, would be entirely satisfactory to the leaders of the new party. HISP CALLS A CAUCUS. Democrats rf Hin iiou9 to Call One fur IMft.i-.l.iy- jMornin-j. Washington, Aug. 11. That tho house coni'errees realize that the crisis has been reached is conclusively proved to day by a call for a caucus which emana ted from no less a source than Speaker Crisp and the house couferrees. As soon as tlie coui'errees returned from tiie mjrning meeting, ttiey were closeted iu the speaker's room w.th Speaker Crisp and Messrs. Ca'chings aud Dockery. Half an hour alter the house met. Speaker Crisp's sou appeared on the floor with a formal call for a caucus of house Democrats on the tariff bill at 10 o'clock Monday morning. The names of Speaker Crisp ami Chairman Wiison were among the first signed, and the paper was signed by the members re gardless of faction as it was presented to them by young Mr. Crisp. It is recalled that in his speech to the recent caucus. Speaker Crisp said that when the matter was resolved into a choice between the senate bill or no bill, the conferrees would call upon their col leagues tor advice. A .Njtiil ti l:e Actually Prpp:,p,d. Washington, Aug. 11. -The debate in the senate has brought out a very clear intimation that the house tariff confer rees have a tariiT b.ll in their actual possession and Senator Faulkner in a speech indicated a plan not yet fully de cided on, however, to have the house ac cept tho senate bid outright and send it to tho president for his signature. The meaning of the house caucus as i interpreted by those in a position to know, is that it is supposed to recede fro'.n tho disagreement to the senate j amendment and to Jjass the bill. The caucus was asked for by the house con ferrees, as their friends say, to consider the situation. Speaker Crisp says that the situation is critical and serious enough to need the i wisdom of the wliole house. He will not j say the senate bill must pass, or there j will be no legislation, but admits that there is a crisis which needs careful con j sideration. Influential members of tho house think that there are Democrats in both houses that are anxious to defeat all tariff legislation, and that if under 1 any conditions, the bill should atralu be placed iu the custody of the senate it i would be doubtful when it would emerge from that body, if ever. 100 AXD 1-2.

OUT i Virginia Militia Drives Them Out of the State. Said to Have Become a Nuisance at Hosslyn. THE TORCH APPLIED. Their Huts Made of Boughs and Straw Burned. Washington, Aug. 11. The assem blage of Coxeyites, Galvanites aud so called industrials who have been camp ing at Roislyn were driven from the soil of Virginia shortly after daybreak this morning by the militia of that state. The raid was made without the least re sistance from the "armies." The huts which had been erected from boughs of trees, straw, hay and other materials which could be secured, are but rem nants of their former appearance. After their occupants had been forced from them tlie torch was applied and every vestige that the flames could de stroy was burned. At ti o'clock this morn ing the men were lined along the walks of the acqueduct bridge which joins the outskirts of Washington with the state of Virginia, watching their only prop erty go up in smoke. They had been forced upon the bridge but there the authority of the militia ended and the industrials knew it. Many complaints had poured in upon Governor O'Farrall within the past week or ten days of the growing nuisance at R jsslyu, for which there seemed to be no remedy, but a complete routiug of the com monweaiers by the military. After mature deliberation aud consul tation. Governor O'Farrull detailed three compauies of the First Virginia regiment at Richmond, and tho Alexandria light infantry under command of Adjutant General Anderson, 'lhe militiamen were equipped for field service with twenty rounds of ammuuition each. The troops started at midnight and reached Rosslyn at '6 a. m., where they camped awaiting daybreak before the raid should bo made. Tho industrials were not unaware of the presence of the militia, for shortly before midnight tlie word was passed around tiiat they were to be routed from their camp. Soon all becamj bustle and excitement. Several camp fires iu addi tion to those already lighted, were light ed aud torches were carried from tout to tent. Tiie entire camp seemed to be afoot from the time the scouts were seut among the men. They uttered some threats to the Associated Press reporter, saying they would crack the heads of any person who would attempt to go into the campaign. Tue tents and improvised huts were crowded with sleepers at 11 p. m. aud scores of men were lying abjut the fires on the ground, some with pieces of blaukets and bits of rujs over them, and some shivering in the cold without any thing but their meagre clothing. Sev eral complained of sickness, not a few sufTering from malaria. At jvi.it dawn the militia appeared and mareued to tlie acqueduct bridge. From that point a iiu.; of skirmishers was drawn around tlie entire camp and the inilus; r.als were hemmed in on all sides, their only exit being the acqueduct bridge to Washington. Strict orders were triven to allow no man to pass back into Virginia. General Anderson and his officers then weut to the leaders of tho industrials and told them iu plain, but courteous and kindly language that they must leave the state. Au hour was allowed for breakfast and gathering up wnat little eiiects each might desire to take away. All of them except one contingent offered to go without a word of protest, but tlie California men said they wished a show of force before they stirred. Promptly at 0 o'clock a company of the militiamen was marched down the steep slope to tiie banks of the river where the Coxeyites had made their homes. General Ander son said: "Here is your show of force; now you must go." After the camp had been routed and all the picket line drawn in a company was sent back to the fiats upon which the men were encamped and in a few min utes the flames were destroying every thing that had been left behind It was said that there were between 300 and 400 men in camp when the raid oc curred. Three men were loo sick to be forced, aud were allowed to remain in camp and Gen. Anderson sent the sur geon of the militia to give them medical assistance. They will be removed to a hospital today. Soon after coming down to his oflice. Major Moore, the superintendent of po lice, went to tho office of the district commissioners and had a conference with them with a view of devising means of getting the common wealers outof the district. It was decided that the police should take charge of the industrials and escort them to some suitable place, most probably in Georgetown, until ar rangements can be made for shipping them to the west. This, it is beliaved, can be accomplish ed in two or three davw, as the commis- sioners have some funds at their disposal i and will receive some assistance from i citizens who wish to rid Washington of I the so-called armies of unemployed. I Meantime the men will be kept under surveillance by the police, i The district authorities are not a little j vexed at tho summary action of Gov. O'Ferrail iu forcing the industrials from I Virginia soil. During tli'e past few days I satisfactory progress in' having the men returned to the west has been made, more than a hundred having been fur nished transportation in that, direction.

It Would Compel the House to Accept Senate liill. WAPirrN'OTOr. Aug. 11. A crisis ia the tarilf affairs was reached yester day, both in the open senate and in the secret councils of Democratic tariff couferrees. When the coher ence closed last ni-rht it was with the un lerst.mdln- that the meetings wotild be suspendod for the present. Iw time was set for reasie-abling the conferrees to-day or thereafter, and it was feit that no further sess oas m ght be necessary, in case the senate acted favorably on Senator liih'B resolution, direct ng the senate eonf rrees t report the siusauo i of alTairs. What was of more import ance was tli a feel ng expr s-.ed by toa hoa ie c .uferrees at tne close ot tiia c nferonee. t.iat in case the ll.lt res Iktion j ass ;tl and they believed it woaid the conferenee would practic a ly be relieved of .t worn., and it would remain only for the houio to accpt toe senate b 11 a-i u lesser evil, a-, tney beLeve, than the MclCiiiiey kw. These conclusions ware reached af tc?r a day of intense uxctemeu a nung the larof leaders. The day opened with the senate ProP s.tion for freo sugar st 11 pending bei'ore the confer- ence. Chairman Wilson and his house a: soeiate were satisfied tnat the ten der of free saae was not made in pood faith, and they had, therefore, requested the senate conferrees to furn sh a poll of the senate show ing that if the proposit on were j acc p.ed it would be a lptel by the j senate an! the bill passed. The poll was con .iuered as soon as the conier- i ence convene I. It disclosed that in the event of the acc ptanco of tho j free sujur amendment the bill as a j wr.ole would be vote 1 against by tliir-ty- -i-ht iiepubliea is and by Senators Kyle, Allen and Petfer, Populists, and Catfcry and llianchar I, Democrats, a total sufficient to deieat the bill. This poll w;. s m .ile on the best judgment of the senate con lerrees. The h ue accepted it as showing con clusively that the tender of the free Bu;';ir amen lmcn, while male in p-t ol faith by the senate conferrees, j was a means adopted by the con- servat.ves for the par jo.e of defeat ing t i ri fr letrislat.on anl leaving thj Mclvinley law in force. The discus sion brought out for tiie first time the statement that the tlefensivo allluaee between cer- tain members ha I proceeded further' than mutual cooperation and waa no.v reduoedto a signed agreement, j While members of the conference did 1 not cia m to have seen the agreement t.iey stated as a fact that Senators! Kvie, Aden, Pelf t. Uianchard and Caifery had re.iueed th3 ir u erstan l ia r to black and white and had s'gaed il to the elrV'ot tiiat they would vote aga.nst any b 11 w hich d d n t contain a county claue for siigii r. As Iree suyar would cliininnt' the bounty rovis on, the a'j-r-ee'inent w a regarded as show.nr that tiie five he na tors combine 1 w th the Republi cans would defeat the b.ll. Senator ll'.-iee, soeaeing of the situation la t niq-ht, said that for the first t ine he had to admit that the caance- for the bill are not CTl'd. but he b lieved that the parliamentary tangle won d be st raighie-ned so thut t .e senate V) L could be p i sed. 'Brn.si.iag a- ide all parliamentary cobwebs." h- s; ii I, "an 1 us: u com mon sense, th re is no reason way toe li. use cannot at any t :ne con jar in the sen. ite amendments an I pass tho j b il.

B US IN ESS IS IMPROVING. July Readied the Lowest Point In the X.t of tbe i ommtrcUl Tide. New York, Aug. 11. Bradstreet's says: "Evidence centimes to accu mulate that ths earlier portion of July witnessed the lowest point in the ebb of the commercial ti le, in the reaction after the moderate revival in the spring. The practical cessation of various inlastrial disturbance of tha year has emphasized the tenieney to improvement reports 1 by telegra v h from leaJing manufacturing and eonm-ercial center this week. A further indication of the tendency to improvement is saen in the week's r.dvance of 50 cents p?r tonforste.T billets, and the fact that domestic wool markets to-day are more in favor of the seller than they have been for a y'ar.anil that wo d is firm at 2 cents advance scored in tb.3 last few weeks. Iietined sugar is oae-eighth of a cent higher, possibly not directly connected with questions of deman.l an I supply, but prices of pig iron at bt. Louis ars higher and for cotton are 1 1-1(5 cents up on reports of dam age to the crop an I the improved feel ing in eomrneroiat circles south. Leaf tobacco anl leather are both firm, with an active demand, the tenden cies of pr'ces being upwarl, and the recent destruction of 1-imber by lire in C.iiea ro has stealied quotations.

Besides it doesn't sit plumb over the earth; it is wider from north to sooth than it is from west to east. I call it a pretty poor sky. It is no such sky as my mother used to have."

A Wnshincton larrot 1 hat Uotliered a Preac-lier. nlf ever there was- a voluble parrot it is the accomplished African owned by Edward Cake of tha Hotel Norman die at Washington. As a linguist Washington probably never had his peer. For some reason the bird had been changed from its usual habitat and put in the linen room for the day, the windows of which are alm est in touch with the swell colored church that is in close proximity to the Noraiandie on the north. The excitement began when the minister gave out a well-known text. The last worls had but fallen from his lips when they were shouted basic at him with peculiar vehernjnie from the nd joining house. Tho congrega tion tried hard to preserve its dign ty, for the minister stool solemn, but the effort was not a great success, and many of the younger worsh p -rs tittered au libly. Tho proaeiier started up again, and again the bird sent back his utterance with tho fa'thfulness of a graplioplions. A song was trie I and Poll got in his work just the same. By this time it was evident that either that parrot had to be sup pressed or tha meeting would have to break up. A l.tt'e einferene.3 was held, and it was decided to hold up the proceedings long enough for a committee to wait on Mr. Caka and ask him to remove the cause of the trouble to some other part of his ho tel. That gentle nan willingly ac ceded ti the re juest, and tiio relig ious exercises wore resumed. FISHING WITH A BLACK3NAKS. The Ileptlln W:ts w i:o.-a ajltr and 1 on d of Hie Sport. II"re is a snake story from a li'cha anal.ml raP-r which we do not re member having seen before: A li.ir berton man who goes to church regularly was one day walk.ng aoj.ng the banks of Cone s-ion creek eat ng a sanelwich. and on account of tlie usual disparit between moat anl bread, he threw the redundant piece into the wat -r. Inve liat -ly a swarm of yellow fish babbled ronn 1 it fighting for the mouthful. The man searched his poekets for fishing tackle, bat all in vain, and he was just beginning to die of despair when his eyes lighted on a big- black Bnake. At that moment he remem bered how his father used to tell him that blacksnakes were very e.vp rt in catching fish. He, therefore, grabbed the reptile by the tail, carr.e I it to the river and held it over the struggling fish. The snake proved itself a born angler, an! in the course of an hour the man ha I captured forty tins tish. A few d.iys later, as ho was walking in t ie same place he f elt something rubbing against his leg, and, looking down, he saw his friend, tho blacksn ika, eager for moro sport. A Votln Mach'ne. At the exhibition of progress in the Palais de l'ln lustr e th re was on view an apparatus for col lectin g anl registering tlie votes of an electoral district. In appearanee it resembles a large automatic weighing mach'ne. The voters step on the p atfor.u on) after the other, when an electric b 11 begin to ring anl does not o asa until the el ctor has reglstere 1 his vote. This is effected by pressing a button stamped w.th the n line of his candi late. The counting apparatus records the vote along with all others on a series of disus, marking th units, tens, hundreds, etc., so that when the la ,t voter quitted the platform any child tan read oCf the number of votes recorded for each canlidat?. It is irapossibls for the elector to vote twice or any greater number of times, as the apptratus only net once so long as the elector btauds on the pl-atform. llyrlnc Pet Ilo;i.

THE JUDGE'S CARRIAGE. the Marshal Gets It Paid for as Trans. lortation of Prisoners. Attorney General Olney tells ths following story about Justice Gray of the United States supreme court. Judge Gray prefers riding to walk ing; and a carriage, or cab to a streetcar. When ha first hell court in Boston, he asked the United State Marshal to provide him with a car riage t transport hiin f rom his hotel to the court and back to the hotel after tne day's sassion. Tha marshal was commeadably prompt aad ?heerful in complying with the wishes of th3 d istingnished jm ist;. From Boston Ju Ige Gray wjnt to Providence to hold court. He asked the Cnited States marshal there to provide him with a carriage to carry him back and forth. The marshal said he could not do so without paving- for the vehicle oat of his own pocket. 'Rut the marshal at Boston fur nished me with a carriage, and had no tronblo with his accounts," said Judge Gray. "I dont see how he did it," pro tested the Providence marshal. "I know if I tried it that item in my ac counts would be disallowed."' "Very well," said Judge Gray. "Of course, I don't want you to par for my carriage," anil lie paid it himself, and .the incident closed so far as he was concerned. Not so with the Providence marshal. He wrote to the Boston marshal and asked him how he had managed to have his charge for a carriage for Judge Gray's use between the hotel and the courthouse allowed by the de partment here. "Easy enough," wrote the Boston man in reply. "It's plain," he con tinued, "that you've not been mar shal long. I provided Judge Gray with the carriage, and my accounts went through the department without any trouble. You see. I put the item of the judge's carriage under the head of 'care and transportation of prisoners. focnod'i Lesson in Mo lesty. Gounod, the great musician who died a few months ago, was once waited upon by a young poet anxious far guidance in some work on which he was engaged at the time. Advice was generously given. and then, struck perhaps "by his friend's demeanor, Gounod, told him that as he grew in his art he could judge of the masters of the past as he (Gounod) now ju lged of the famous composers of former days. "At your asre," Gounod pro ceeded, -I used to say 'I': at 23 I said 'I and Mozart'; at 40 'Mozart and I. Now I say Olozart.'" A IJeautlful Rricljre. One of the finest bridges in Europe is now being constructed across tha Danube at Cernavoda. Roumania, by French engineers. It has a length of 2100 feet, divided into five bays. It height is 103 feet to the roadway, and its highest point is 1C3 feet abova high water. It is of steel, and is sup ported on thirty piers. Ths effect is said to be "one of elegance and light ness, the lines standing out like delicate la'cework against the sky."

Tha attorney general of Illinois at noon today filed a petition asking that the charter bo declared void on the grounds that its provisions have been violated. The petition setd forth that the charter as granted allowed the company to purchase, control and con vey uch property as was necessary to successful prosecution of their business. The corporation has far exceeded its privileges, the document declares, owing to a vast amount of real estate in the town of Pullman and vicinity which is in no wise necessary to the business. The petition declares that the company has practically usurped tho powers of municipality, owning numerous business blocks, residences aud factory sites, con trolling the stock in other corporations, and furnish power to other manu factories.

It is not often Chief VTil tnarth of the fire departrtieut gets trial, but h va iu that state all day yesterday. It was all oa account of one of tua Topea;a bi cyclists. Chief Wi.tLtirth was a little late iii pettuiif at rirtej to the lire yester day mora in jc, aud when hti turned eait on E.y't h s reel he no. iced a young man on t.ie b. cycle riduiir directit- in fro.it of him jroin slower than the cii.ef wauled to jfo. Tne jfo-a was run desperaieiy and the chief yedel at the man, but tne cycltst co.itintldJ to bi.t 1 over uu mind ful of the vehicle baux of him. Tue Chief slackened his speed to avoid rua uiu intotatj nder anl was compeded to go slow all the way. Wneu Monroe a reet was rac'ie 1, where the lire was, the man on the bike luint.1 somewhat and the caief was compelled to drive on past the street to avo.d het-d.nr him oil and colliding with hiui. Fiuaily the caief, thinning he aw an opening, turned, but the cyclist turned the eame iu.laat and ran directly u id ;r the hore's nose. Tne bent-over appeared to come out of his trance aud real.zj his danger, and jumped oil his wheel. Tue chief "culled him down" iu language not easily mUuiiderstoo.l, and if lie had Leeu a swearing man lie would Lave used his profanity lo good alva:uare, he says. It is such incidents as this that "rile" the liremen. One of them says: "There are a lot of people iu town who dou't know that the tire apparatus gob;g to a. tire has the riyhc of way. W ueri a car riage geti in tiie wav it is chiefly acci dental, but the way thoie fellows on Li cycles act makes us au.-k. Vv e don't want to run iuto ttiem because we don't want to kill their, and besides we might up set, too. liut one of tneso days wiieu we get, such a chump in front of us we'll run right over hiui. ju to leach the rest a lesson. Tuey net i.ka they d.dn't have any sense." iUiet Wilmartu. requests the pubiica ti -n of th secuon of the orhiiancd bear ing directly upon this subject. The courts hold bicyoles to be ven.cles.

Captain Waters addressed his remarks dirocdy to Jamea Gillette, but they were absorbed by twenty or thirty other voters who gathered around him on tne side walk, ilis particular theme was the cor ruption of tue courts, and iu his remirss lie said: "It is a damuab.e outrage lhal tue judges of the supreme court, liorton and .loiiusou, are perm.ttel to ride around oa railroad passes aad then weigh out 'justice iu the iuierest of corpora- lions. I 'These judges accept and use railroad S passes and taeu chop o3 tneir dec.sious iu the interest of the roads like a butcher would cuop u2 meat on a block." ".Dues not Allen also ride ou a pass?" inquired Mr. Gillette. "l dou't know wuedierhe does or not, and tuai, doesn't make any d.ff ereuce if he does. If he ndjs ou a pas it is just another caie of corruption on tne bench," aud Captain Waters used some ot his most exprooSive adjectives iu e.ii- phasiziiig his remarks. Continuing he said: "Jim Gillette, you ku w tuut what 1 have said is true, f jryou have told me yourself a doz.u tiaiois lhal you considered it an outrage tiiat our judges should uccept passes f.-om railroad corporations, and yet you are one of tho.-e liepu bl.eans who will S.vallow anything that is labeled Kepul 1 can.

TheTopeka bar association was In ses sion at the courthouse yesterday morn ing to cousider resolutions of regret at the deatu of Joan A- Murray. President John Guthrie presided and at least seventy-live members of the bar were present A. B. Jetmore said that Mr. Murray Was a young man of more than usual in tegrity and euersry, wuh a large fund of reserve force. Young lawyers would do well to study his cuaracter. He said that geuerahy speaking there was more integrity in ine bar than any otuer pro fession extant, not excepting the clertry; aad Mr. Murray possessed that integrity to a high degree. Tout McNeai said that Mr. Murray was elected county attorney of Sumner coumy when it was on the border between civii Lzation aud barbarism and the rendezvous for outlaws and fugitives from justice, aad made it just as law-abid ng as any section of the state. He en 1 need ail tite laws and his courage commanded uni versal respect. Joseph G. Waters said death at all times is abhorrent and sorrowful, but the taking oil of Mr. Murray iu the prime uf bis young manhood was especially sad. lie added that Mr. Murrav stood -i erect iu his moral stature as in his physical. Judge Day saiii tiiat only a lew days before Mr. Murray left Tope kit he heard him argue a proposition before this court, aud he thoug.it he had uever heard a more logical argument iu belter chosen words aud wel:-sounding sentences than hitf. lie had the faculty of expressing exactly what he desired to Buy. T. F. Dorau, T. II. Rain, C. M. Welch, T. W. Harrison, A. W. Dan a and Judge Gutlirie also made brief ad lresses. F. II. Foster explained that the bar would be expected to attend the memo rial service at the Firsl Coiigregat orial church Sunday uiirht, aud recommended t tat they meet at the National hotel tif teen minutes before tne serv.ee. The committee on resolutions, of w hich J. B. Lai-itner was the chairman, reported the follow: n sr resolutions, which were unanimously ad ipted: "He, luo luemuers of the Shawnee couuty bar, real.z tig the value of such a life as that of John A. .Murray, wtio d.ed at 'i uxtepec, Mexico, J uly i:t5, 18 J4, de sire in as simple and informal a m. inner as possible to express our appreciation of his l.fe and character and our sorrow at his death.

STATE JOTTRXATi. SATURDAY EVENING-. AUGUST 11, 1891. WOMAN'S WOULD. CRiG'.NALITY OF THL AMERICAN NEE DLEWORK GUILD. Ailelaide 31. Andrrsoo For Beautiful Ar iViU Slie? pretty V-tty Bliss. The Daughters and tJie IHirne. KJtchen Refuse She's a True Heroine. "Only two liev.- garments a year, no Ciattcr bow small cr inexpensive as Ion; as they arc new, is the appeal made "by tho district presidents of tho American Needlework guild in drum mins; up recruits for the organizaiton. Thin nyilework guild is a distinctly new charity r.ud i s eo:idnet'ed on a prin cip:e di.Tcreit from any heretofore at tempted in this eity. The object of the guild is to furnish new, plain and suit able garra-iit-s to tho deserving poor, whether they be in tho hospitals or in their own wretched homes. The idea- of pi vine; new g trmeuts is to raise the self repeet .f unfortunate people who so frequently undergo humiliation in be ing obliged t accept castoff clothing. The headquarters of tho National guild are in Philadelphia, where it was organized nino years ago on a similar plan to that organize! by Lady Wolvcr ton and pat into execution in England. For a time the work in this country was confined to Philadelphia. A branch was eventually started in New York, and a few weeks ago Miss Willard came here from Philadelphia an J organized the third city branch of t w National guild. The meeting was held at the residence of Mrs. Horace Davis. Miss Willard, who had been in correspondence with a number of the prominent ladies of this city, had her plan well outlined and ex plained it in such a comprehensive way that the ladies pretext immediately be came enthusiastic and organized a local branch of tho National guild before the meeting adjourned. Since that it has continued to grow with surprising rapid ity. II. ro it is the middle of summer, when, strictly speaking, all society is out of town and most; charities are tem porarily suspended. But this guild has excited a d:ep rooted rather than a spasmodic interest, which hai grown until it has br-eoire a popular fad. d roups of ladies discussing tho guild ami otitlinir.g plans for its extension may be t'onml tiny morning on tho ve randas cf th fashionable resort hotels. 1c is a recognized topic of conversation. The organisation leitig nonseetarian creates a more gos-.ei al and widespread iut, .,st than would otherwise exist. The work is planned on a simple yet practical has:.-.

e s oi t a while till the lathi s -v re wi! liner to con tribute two garments, few felt inclined to assume the re pomi bility of lit) gar-li-.-. iit Afrrr tli 3 first rhree sections wtro started an. I tho la-lies s-aw ho-,v easy it was to interest their personal friends ia tho work their hesitancy van ished, and ono by out! they consented to Ik eamo presidents until there are now 1 :vthig in that capac ity for, tho same number of s-ociious. Mrs. A. M. Eastoa was elected hon orary president of the city branch. Miss C Gwin the president. Miss M. M. (ireer tho secretary and ilrs. W. K. Kmedbc-rg the treasurer. One peculiarity about this charity is its freedom from meetings. Thero are n. weekly or monthly meetings to 1x3 attemle 1 a: id no efter meeting little gossips to bo cujoyol. The charity has no social side, which makes its popular ity all the mure surprising. Once a year there is a meeting at the time of distri bution, but that i? all. When it comes time for the yearlj- distribution, every reetion sends in its collection. One of the down town halls will be hired for tho occasion, and all tho garments that have been donated by the guild mem bers during the year will be on exhibi tion. The public will be invited to at tend and inspect tho display. Mrs. Eas ton and Miss Gwin, assisted by several ladies, will theu scrt over tho articles, da them up in packages, label them and direct an expressman where to take them. Any Reetion is privileged to sug gest to the committee where it prefers having its contributions sent. There is considerable labor attached tothedistr: bntioti, but the lad.es think nothing of their time and work, so interested are they in alleviating the distress of the poor. San Frauciseo Esaminer. Adelaide 31. AnJertion. The good service rendered by women as factory inspectors is attested by the appointment of Mi:ss Adelaide M. An derson to an inspectorial office. Mias Anderson, it is gratifying to remem ber, is the fourth lady inspector detailed to carry out the j revisions of factory legislation as they a'Ject women in tho United Kingdom. She is a daughter of the late Mr. Alexander Gavin Anderson r.uJ is of Scottisj extraction, though Melbourne is her birthplace. She was educat d at (Jirton college and took honors in 1SS7 in tho moral sciences tripos. A year ago she took the Gamble prize at ti o same college by an essay on "Joannes Scotus. After quali fying for her degree Miss Anderson de voted her time principally to the study "and teaching of subjects dealing with ethics and political economy. Since 1693, however, shi has been occupied with work under tho direction of the (Secretary of tho labor commission. Tho experience gained in this way should prove particularly nseful to Miss An derson in her new office, as should also Iier practical knowledge of the co-opera-Uva movement In tho latter connec- tion it is interesting to note that 2Iis.s Anderson has both lectured to and ex amined, the women of the Co-operative guild in elementary economics. Shj has also been for several years a mem ber of the sou mem section of the Co operative union. From this brief state ment of facta it will be evident that Mi. Anderson possesses str-osrg qualifi cations, which have doubtless had their weight with the home secretary in mak ing the present appointment. London Queen. For Beautiful Anus. Take a two gallon pitcher of water ia the right hand, raise jt over your head and swing it from left to right in a cir cle for five minutes; then reverse tha motion, circling it from left to right, holding the pitcher npright and avoid ing epiiliDg any of the iluid. When this can be accomplished with ease and ac curacy, take a second two gallon pitcher filled with water and 'swing that first from left to right with the left hand, and as facility is acquired reverse the motion from right to left. More prac tice will be found necessary with te left than the right hand. Both hands EJid arms being rrained, next take a two gallon pitcher full of water in each hand and make the movement with both simultaneously, being careful that the rapidly revolving pitchers shall not touch. The vessels must cross each oth er's orbits at different angles. This is a most developing exercise to arms, neck and back, and when perfect in the exercise it will be; possible to per form the neat little centrifugal experi ment of the whirling of an open can of milk around the head without spilling a drop. Three montha-cf this simple ex ercise will perfect the arms of even a delicate woman most beautifully and increase her physical strength to a point where she may without effort control her entire household. A husband who sees his wife whirling four gallons around her head with the grace and lightness of a butterfly upon tho wing will hesitate about differing wit h her in mere matters cf opinion.

Mrs. Dandridge, the only surviving daughter of Zachary Taylor, lias recent ly been visiting Washington. While General Tavlor was president she mar ried Colonel Bliss, his chief cf staff. She presided in tho White House and was generally known as "pretty Betty Clis Some time after the death of Colonel Bliss she married Philip Pen dleton Dandridge of Winchester, Ya. a place which was often the scene of hos tile encountc rs during the war. In spite of the fact that her whilom brother-in-law was president of tho southern Confederacy, and her brother, General Dick Taylor, in activo service at tho head of his command, Mrs. Dan dridge was never molested or in any way disturbed. Many of the Union offi cers had served under her father. Many had followed him to Mexico 20 years before. Some of them had t aid their devoirs to the fair daughters and re membered "pretty Betty" with warm admiration. It is said that cue of tho Federal commanders in Winchester, passing her house, remarked: "My eld sweetheart, Betty Bliss, lives here. I must call upon her at once." He lost no time in doing so. The officers of the old army invariably paid their respects to Mrs. Dandridge. Although ardently southern in her feel ings and sympathies, she always re ceived them with the most gracious courtesy. Since then, exec-pi an occa sional European tour, Mrs. Dandridge has been living quiatiy at Ler home in Virginia. She is the only surviving child of the hero of Buena Vista and is etill a charming woman. Washington Post. The Daughter scd the Dames. There is tremendous rivalry between the two organizations of women known as tho Daughters of the Revolution and the Colonial Dames. It is based upon antiquity of lineage, as to be a Dame takes a few more ancestors than it does to be a Daughter. Not lot g ago at a woman's club reception a stranger from the west asked to be presented to any Daughters who might happen to be present. Some one, who was ignorant of the nico distinction between the two orders, forthwith introduced her to a woman who, at the word Daughter, drew herself up haughtily mid ex- S.f? v-rrv. vA w x-TAt--- 5v jt nam FOR HOME AND VISITING.

Tlie figure at the L-I't represents a white eliina silk and lace moniiiis gown, richly trimmed with lace and blue ribbons. The child's frock ia of dark blue surah, with white hand embroider-. claimed: "You have made a mistake. 1 am a Coloui il Dame!" The intention was so evident that the plucky westerner at once replied: "You will be good enough to understand that I ci; bo a DauiC, too, if I wished. My li.. ..ago is quite long enough. This incident serves to show the amiable at titude of tiio Dames. On the other hand, the Daughters claim that their order is much more honorable, inasmuch as Dameship does not determine one's ancestors to have been patriots or torics, while the de scendant of a Revolutionary hero is stamped with an inalienable loyalty. It is umpuc stiouably true that if merit of lineage counts for more than mere length then the Daughters have the upper hand. Moreover, the objects of organ izalion among the Dames are pure ly social, and social among themselves. Tho Daughters aim to help each other in many material v." ays. New York Re corder. Ivitc-hcn lit t use. One ef the things houix keepers End dlfiieult at this season is the disposal of kitchen refuse. Tiio caution is empha sized at least to keep it dry. The change which takes place when water is mixed with food waste is very different from that whic h it undergoes when kept dry. The one is putrefaction dangerous, capable cf causing ilineoS if its gases are breathed by msccptible systems. The other is uatarc'a mode of disposing of all thing.-? f earth a true decom position, or nitrification, a process of give and take worked out by living or ganisms. If the refuse pail is left in the open air and all liquid kept out, practically no harm can be done, but the heat and steam of the kitchen accelerate putre faction. The penetrating power of steam, greater than that of dry heat, goes deeper into tho refuse pail than is realized. A handful of earth should bo a house keeper's ever ready sanitary aid, especi ally in city houses. Taken from the surface in any back yard, it will be teeming with invisible life, ready to perform specific functions and reduce all to its own kind, earth or dust. Whether in earthworms or bacteria they serve as agents of sanitation and avert danger of rising gases as well as defeat ing those pestilential scavengers flies.

One of the missionary heroines of the world is Miss Annie Taylor, a Presby terian missionary to Tibet. W'ealthy and cultivated, she decided in spite of the opposition of her parents to give herself to missions. She studied medi cine and worked as a nurse in a hospital to prepare herself for the work. She also acquired a knowledge of dentistry. Largely at her own expense she went to China, assumed native costume, sctth 1 on the borders of Tibet and began to learn the language of that fierce people among whom Christian missionaries have not yet obtained a foothold. Having thoroughly prepared herself, she made an entrance into the country, and there she has lived for some time. She has been exposed to the most terri ble dangers, but the people of Tibet have spared a woman where they would not have sprtred a man. The chief sev eral times tried to poison her. She was made a prisoner. She was exposed, un protected, to rain and snow and intense cold, sometimes sleeping at night in a hole dug in the ground, and yet through thousands of dangers, through famine and death and what was worse than death, she was safely carried and has re turned to tell us wonderful things of that dark nation and to make ready a force that shall take Tibet for Christ.

He stopped cn tho corner till a street car came along and stepped aboard. The car was full, and several people were standing. He took hold of a strap and looked over tho crowd and saw that several women were standing, while a number of men were occupying comfort able scats. It riled him to see it, and when his eyes fell upon a palefaced little woman holding onto a strap, while a large, lazy looking man sat near by, he could not remain silent. "See here," said he to the big man, "hero is a lady standing, whilo you have a seat. "Ye," said the big maD.

"Well," said the littlo man as he braocd himself, "I do, and I am going to yank you clean out of this car."

"That's what I'm doing," said the woman. "But I mean let up cn this. What do you mean by attacking me?" "Look a-here, said the female. "1 didn't ask you to get me a seat.
