Other Political News The Pop ulist Conference. The political gossips are today talking about the resignation and reappointment of State Printer Snow, which was first announced in last evening's Jia:iiNAi. According to the gossips. State Printer Snow- is not and never has been state printer, if his own liue of argument is good. One man wdio has been carefully watching the case said today: "if J id. Snow was, prior to his appointment, a de facto state printer, there must have been an actual state printer, who would have been (Ti:T Baker. If Snow never was elected state pointer, then he could not resign an office which lie never held, and Governor Lewelling could not appoint him to till a vacancy which never existed. If this be true. Cliff Baker is still state printer and if the courts shall hold that Snow's line of ar gument is good then they woul i also hold that Baker could collect the emol uments of ttie otfice auring the last four years from Snow. Of course Snow would be entitled to the pay for the work ac tually done but Baker could get judg ment against him for the profits." Some lawyers say that if Snow ever held a title to the otfice he lost it by re signing and can therefore be removed wLten the llejiublicans elect a new state printer in January, and will thereby lose the legislative printing. W II AT Of X H PI C O Nl'KiiKNt K. Kausa I'opulist "Will Ner Consent to sl New Silver Parl. There is much interest in Populist cir cles iu the outcome of the conference which has beeu called by Chairman Tan beneck, to be held at St. Louis next week. It is generally understood that the sil ver question is to be the basis of the most discussion in the conference. The eastern leaders of the party are anxious that the conference shall decide to make silver the sole issue of the party for 1 V.JO, letting the other demands of the Omaha platform drop for the pres9.it. The Kansas contingent do not take kindly to these suggestions, and in fact the Kansas Populists who attend the St. Louis conference will oppose the scheme to make the People's Party a distinctly silver party. -Manv- of; the Kansas leaders are not silverites from principle, but like Gv. Lewelling admits himself to be re 'greenback ers." Gov. Lewelling save he regards the silver issue simply as a step in the right direction and in saying this he voices the sentiment of most of the Populist leaders in Kausas. Mrs. Lease 9ays the three questions of land transportation and money are so closely allied that one can not be settled independent of the other, and for that reason she will oppose the silver party scheme.

Chicago, Dec. 19. A determined ef fort will be made before the legislature this winter to rescue and preserve the grave and monument of Abraham Lin coln at Springheld from desecration and decay. The condition of the Lincoln monument has long been a disgrace to the state, and more or leas reflection upon the association which for many yearg has had it in charge. The monu ment and crypt containing the illustrious dead are now in a deplorable condition. 2sot a dollar has been spjent on the struc ture for years, and it is rapidly crumb ling. Its management has been criti cised, and the sentiment against fencing in the sacred spot and charging an admission fee has been increasing with the lapse of years. The monument is a brick struc ture throughout, only veneered with granite. T he granite blocks are four to six inches in thickness. The monument cost $t-'U0,0U0. The bronze statuary is very tine. The crypt is a sight which, though it makes the unskilled laugh, canuot but make the judicious grieve. Ttie empty sarcophagus stands in this room. Lincoln's body lies six feet be neath the floor, covered with Portland cement. Not even a bronze railing sur rounds the spot, and the visitor unwit tingly walks over his sacred dust. The cheap, red brick of the wahs has no cov ering in places and the iron gas piipts irate is secured by a padlock, such as was forced by the robbers who desecrated the tomb. mi. OAR DEN 11 IRE'S MOVE. It is It iimore.l That He Haa a Lease on ii New Yorli Theater. The rumor reached Topeka today that Mr. Sain Gardenhire has secured a lease on an upitown New York theater, and that next season he will be a real man ager of a real New York theater. Mr. Gardenhire went to New York ten days ago on other business, and some of his friends, who were seen this after no mi, are not able to eituer verify or con irm the rumor. jj.r. Gardenhire has frequently said it would be the ambition of his life to con trol a New York theater, and it is piossi bie that he has arranged to go into the theatrical business v hen he closes up his duties as clerk of the district court of this county. Mr. Gardenhire has a taste for good theatricals and is one of the best critics iu tne country. A few years ago he wrote a criticism of a new play in a competi tive way, and although several ot the best known critics in the country were in coixipelitic, he was awarded the lir,t prize. Some time afterwards he wrote a play and sent it to the Kendals. Mr. Kendal returned it with a highly complimentary criticism and asked that one of the parts lie .changed. Mr. Gardenhire bad i made the leading lady play the j roie ofa divorced wife, and Mr. Kendal j objected to Mrs. Kendal playing that j kmd of a role. j Mr. Qardeuhire is a good judge of art i and is a tine t usmess man, and if he really has secured the management of a New i York theater, he will make a success of it. THE FALL KILLED IJ'JWEN. Coroner's Jury Iedles His Ie:itU Wits Due to tlie t niwilileil Floor. New Okle.vns, Dec. lit. The Audito rium Atlnesic club management has been declared by the oruut-rV jury to have been responsible for the death of Andy Bowen, the pugilist. Dr. Finney, who'was with Bowen from the time he went down till his death, said that La vigne's blow had not caussd Bowen j death. Lavigne at the time he struck the blow was in such a condition ttiat it was questionable whether he could have ad ministered to a reasonably trained opi piouent a blow which would have knocked that opponent out. The witness said that had Bowen slipped j and fallen without having been struck at all and had fallen as fie did in the last round the result would nave been the same. The witness said he had been informed that Referee Duffy had advised Bowen at the end of the seventeenth round to quit, but that Bowen refused to do so. Bowen was noted for his endurance and power of recuperation. There was some slight delay as to the wording of the verdict on tlie jury, one memb-r holding out tor a scorcning de nunciation of the club management. The matter was Anally settled by the follow ing verdict 'That death is duo to a hemorrhage caused by concussion of the brain, and the jury further rinds that it was neglect on the part of the club in not having the ring padded."

EASY TO CRITICISE. But Xot Easy to Remedy Present Svstem. the Resolution to Investigate the Senate Restaurant. Washington, Dec, 19. As soon as the regular routine had been disposed of to day, on motion of Mr. Springer of Illinois, the house went into executive session and the debate on the currency bill was resumed. Mr. Johnson (Kep. Ind), one of the members of the miuority, member of the banking and currency committee, opened debate today with a vigorous speech in opposition to the Carlisle bill. Admitting the defects of our currency system, he said the perfection could not be obtained by the passage of a bill along the lines suggested by the banking ami currency committee. it was much easier to attack the pres ent system than oiler a safe substitute for it. The present system had given the country a greenback currency which enabled the government to carry on the war and it produced a maiKet for our bonds in the hour of danger and peril. The currency it pro duced had never been questioned. While remedial legislation might be advisable, this was no time for experi mental legislation There was no need of indecent speed. Congress in this matter could well afford to make haste slow! v. ALABAMA KLECTIOXS. Senator Allen Introduces a. Kesolution to Have Them I n vesti irated. Washington, Dec. l'J. Immediately upon the convening of the senate today the vice president laid before the senate a letter from the sec retary of the navy transmitting the report of Admiral Walker on the subject of Hawaii which the seuate called for by resolution.

The increasing probability of a strike of the coal miners of this district, as a result of the reduc tion by the operators of the mining rate from sixty-nine to tlfty-live cents per ton, is causing considerable anxiety among the man utacturers of tha district. Within the past month there has been quite a general resumption among the industries of this section and the present supply of coal is not suf ficient to Keep them going during a continued stride. Within the past week 15,000,00 bushels of coal from the river mines has been shipped to southern ports by water and the products of raiima.l mines have been shipped largely to bike ports previous to the closing of lake tsaf tio. This leaves the visible supply greatly depleted and a general cessation of vvvrK among the miners will cause the embar rassment to the manufacturers. A strike in this district would affect 15.000 miners aud indirectly many thousands more. THK UPUttTOlts WIN. The tMaHAillon Arlilti-a ion Committee De cide in Their Knvur. Cleveland, O., Dec. l'J.

The Country is Iff all Controlled by Whit Men. "Washington-, Dee. 13. Ex-Senator 1'iwes, uliu was a uembtr of the comm is--lon appointed to negotiate with the five civilized tribe of Indians to secure a bettjr t-orerDiceat for the Indian territoiy, appeared be fore the house judic iary committee yvsterdav toargueia behalf of legis 1 ii i ri to 1 j r i i ij- about that end. Mr. Dawes gives a dart picture of the r ia! ti..u of affairs now in the Indian territory. The o-it itri' is really in the lianas r.f th white oli irehv v 4 The real Indians." Mr. Dawes says, "live in the sterile timber country b.iid eke out an exist inee far from the whites and all civil ..ug influences. Tlis' mountains anc. th ekets along the water coarn's a ford a refuge and a hiding placo for criminals and o-it-laws, -v i.t-1, they sally in their forays on tlio surr uinditig country and statis, and to w deh they return when purine 1.

"Indians living in -.he woods are, by the admission ul their wis st men, k-M civil ieJ and tit for citizenship thn-i they were twenty years ago. 'I neirs is a c ts.j of arrested progress, and it is nelir-ved thit the only hope of civilizing them is ,o induce them to settle oa the fertile lands, rent por tions to the whites, mingle freely with tU' in. atienJing the same churches and sehonls." Mr. Dawes said the t the barrier op pose') at all times by those in author-it.- in the tribes, and assuminir to fcoeak for th-ou as to any chance in existing conditions, is what they claim to be "the treaty situation." They mean by this, term that tiie United S-ates is under treaty obliga tions not to interferj iu their inter nal poitey, but has ijuaranteoU to them self-gi vernuie it and absolute exclusion ot white citizens from any iihude ;imo!i0' them; that. the United Mat"-, is bound to isolate them aboluteH. While this was f- u 1 st a ii t i a i iy the orgnal governing id. -a in estab Uhing the live tribes in the Indian Territoiy these tribes were to h'.

These executory provisions have not been observed by either hide. The executory conditions contained in the treat ie s have become im possible of execution. It is no longer possible Jr the 1'nit.ed States to keep its citizens out of the territory. .Nor is it now possible for the Indians to secure to each individual Indian Ids full enjoyment in common with other Indians of the common property of the territory. These executory con ditions are not only impossible of execution, but havt ceased to be upplicabie or desiratle. It has been demonstrated that isolation is an im- possibility ana tuatii pos-sit-le it could never result in the elevation or civili sation of the India l. It has been made clear that under its operations imp -rfectly as it has been carried out, its.-tTeet ha been to retard rather 1 ban to promote ci v i 1 izat ion, to irn vair rather than str;r,gt;ien the ob-t-ervance of law and irder,ar.d regard f. r human life and rights or the pro tection or p-oa.ouor of a virtuous life. "To snrh a degree bis this sad de ter :or;i t i. r: become evident that to-day h most deplorable ami lianjerous con :ition of affairs exists in the terri tory, causing w Id reu t alarm and ..a. an l.t r t set i us conshlera ti'.n.

Within the territory of one these tribe there Acre fifty-three murders during the month of Sep- tember and id October, t he ti rst twenty-four days and not a single, person brought to trial. "In every respect "he present con dition of affairs demonstrates the permission to Sfovern themselves under the const it u thai of the United States, whic i was originally em braced in the treaty, has proven a failure.

ARBITRATiOII BILL Tiie Xiitional treasure to Settle liailroad Controversies. It Was Proposed by Labor Commissioner Wright. ITS GOOD PROSPECTS. Prominent Labor Leaders Are Working for It. Washin-gtov, Dec 19. Labor Com missioner Wright has sent to Repre sentative Erdmanof Pennsylvania the draft of a bill for the national arbi tration of strikes. The measure was prepared by Mr. Wright and his asso ciates on the strike commission ap pointed by Mr. Cleveland to investi gate the great Chicago strike. Such arbitration was recommended in the commission's report and the bill now gives the practical details of the plan. It ditf jrs entirely from the arbitra tion bill heretofore introduced by Mr. s-prinjer, beinr more elaborate and precise in its details. Mr. LTd nian will introduce it in the house to-morrow. The title of the bill is, "A bill concerning carriers ena-ayed in interstate commerce and their em ployes." It is modeled after the interstate commerce act. It provides for tha appointment by the president, with auvice and consent of the senate of a commission consisting of five persons, to be known as "the United States board of conciliation and arbitra tion.'' Not more than three of tiie commissioners shail lie appointed from the same political party. One of them shall have had experience in the management of railroads and the other is to be selected from some in co'.porated association of railway em ployes. The commission shall have authority to inquire into the condi tions of all employes subject to tile act and shall have tiie right to obtain from common carriers all necessary information. The provisions of the interstate commerce act are closely followed in this respect. The commission has the power to make all the necessary rules and regulations and may administer oaths. The sal ary of each commissioner shail be S7,fuo per anrium; the secretary to be appointed shall have a salary of S t. ebO. The principal ofh'ce of the commission shall be in the city of Washington, where its general ses sions shall be held, but special ses sions may be held anywhere in the United States. An annual report shall be submitted and publication of the reports and decisions may be au thorized and shall be competent evi dence in all courts of the United States. The bill provides that the svstem of arbitration and conciliation snail apply to common carriers engaged in the transportation between the states of passengers and property by rail road and bv water, and to all persons and corporations leasing cars, use of such for transportation and all their employes; that the wages paid in such transportation and handling the rules and regulations shall be reason aide and just, not, however, taking away the right to make contracts. Whenever it shall come to the knowledge of the commission that a strike or controversy b 'tween those subject to the act is threatened or has occurred, it shall be its duty, as soon as practicable, to put itself in communication w th both parties, an 1 endeavor by mediation ani con ciliation to effect a settlement. In section Ki, the incorporation of employes is encouraged, and chapter 507, United Slates statutes, 13S.VS0. is enlarged so as to provide that the con stitution and by-laws of such associa tion shall contain a provision that membership shail cease by participat ing ;.n schemes of violence, strikes, etc., and that the members shall not be personally liable for any acts, debts or obligations of the organiza tion. The purpose is to have the bill con sidered by the labor committee of the house at an early dav. There is no doubt of a favorable report on it, and it is hoped t secure consideration for it in the house soon after the holi days. Messrs. Sarirent, Arthur and other chiefs of railway labor organ izations are now in Washington, and will be consulted concerning the measures. Kevenn arid Ueticieacles Washington. Dec. 19. Representa tive Pence of Colorado has introduced a resolution asking the secretary of the treasury for information as to the probable revenues and deficien cies for the current year; whether internal revenue taxation or custom duties can best meet possible de.'icien cies: what revenue would be yielded by taxing ale. beer and fermented liouors from SI to Si. .10 per barrel; what revenues have been or will be gained by the increased tax on dis tilled spirits.

It is verv certain that at least three of the Democrats in the Missouri delegation i will not support the financial bill now being debated, in the house, j They are De Armon l, Arnold and J Hatch.

It is generally conceded that in the event of a prolonged debate the j bill wul be deteated m the house and tiie indications now are that a long debate is the program. the Steels Ji Walker Assets.

The recent massacre of Armenians by the Kurdish minions of the sultan of Turkey and the unparalleled atrocities committed upon the hapless Armenians because they were Christians has reviv- GUELIZAR. ed interest in the story of Guelizar, the heroine of the Kurdish atrocities of five years ago. She was captured by the no torious fiend, Moussa Bey, and taken to the mountain home of a Kurdish chief. There she refused to become his wife, but was compelled to accept the Mo hammedan religion. Her mother appealed to the people of Europe to aid in rescuing her daughter and in bringing Mousea Bey to justice. Guelizar was called upon by the Turkish officials to declare her religion at the religions court of Bitlis. European pow ers were represented at the ceremony by their special commissioners at Constan tinople, and to the surprise of the Turk ish officials she boldly declared that she was a Christian and denounced the faith of Islam. Moussa Bey was tried at Con stantinople for abducting her, and at the first trial he was acquitted. Euro pean courts entered their hearty protest at the failure of justice, and Moussa Bey was retried and convicted. He is now in exile, but there is a general im pression that he is riot being allowed to puffer as he should for his crimes. Gu elizar is in Constantinople, but is not permitted to return to her people. The cross hanging at her neck was given her by the London Times as a testimonial to her courage and modesty. Armenian women have long been the prey of the Kurds and Turks, and the srories of these repeated massacres that spare neither sex nor infancy form the blackest pages in the history of the Ot toman empire.

The Wife of Governor Tllect Morrill I're frr Home Life to I'uljlio Display. Mrs. Edmund N. Morrill, wife of the governor elect of Kansas, dislikes the cold formalities of society life and would doubtless much prefer re maining at her quiet home in Hiawatha to en tering the social whirl of life ia Topeka. She was a Miss Nash of Boston and is Mr M o r r i I I's 8 e c o n d wife. They have been married 25 j-ears and have three MRS.

She is an ardent church worker in Hiawatha, and her whole soul is devoted to her home, In r family and her church work. Sho lu- s little love for politics, and it is Haid re gretted her husband' acceptance of the gubernatorial nomination. She i elated at his success principally because it pleases him and not at all because she will be called npoti to take the position socially that properly belongs to rhe family of the highest (dare ofheer. Her husband says she phall follow her own bent in the matter of tnte rtaining, and the will probably limit her efforts to the necessary social duties of her position. Mrs. Morrill is not an ardent woman suffragist. She is on the fence. She has Lo yearning to redeem Kansas and be lieves that she can worry along with the rights she now exercises. When suffrage comes, she will exorcise her right to vote, and meantime she con tents herself with paying her dues In the suffrage club of Hiawatha. When her husband was in congress, Mrs. Ba ker f pent eight years iu Washington, but was not charmed with the prevai ling social routine. "I cannot bear the cus tom of making calls and leaving enrds, fcho says, "and there seems to be no lit tle heart in all the social conventional ities. I love my friends and am loyal to them, but society is exacting, and I have no taste for it. Miss Grace Morrill, however, is fond of society and will doubtless relieve her mother iu attending to the duties de volving upon the first lady of Kan-as.

Some question has arisen as to whether the senators to be chosen to fill vacancies in the states of Montana, Washington and Wyoming can be selected upou the first day ilie legis lature meets, or will the election have to be postponed until the prescribed time. Senator Dubois of Idaho his oeen look ing up the matter for s me friends iu the west and has found that senators elected to til I vacancies must be elect ed in precisely the same manner as those to till terms to expire in the near future. This will prevent the elec tion of senators to till the vacancies until the time when the regular senatorial elections will occur. Another matter which he ascertained in looking up the case was that when the senators are elected they will not draw salaries until they qualify, which is not the case in the election of senators elected for full terms.

The Minne apolis Journal publishes today a notable f.rticie on the currency question, written by Mr. T. B. Walker of this city, well known as a financier and one of the largest lumbermen in the country. lie takes the ground that the element of sta bility and safety in the currency issues is of far greater consequence than the matter of elasticity; that for any party to enact a law that would enable tie banks to expand and contract the cur rency at pleasure would be a fatal political blunder. To issue bills against capital stock that has a full line oi depositors to protect, which is a sufficient load there, any fur ther or additional demands ou the same fund, will not be a saf! basis to rest on. To go from the great extreme of refus ing the national banks the right to issue currency to the amount of the face of the United States bonds to wiping out all security for th circulation, is a step too far in the direction of the wild-cat currency of earlier years. That as neither party has heretofore ventured in the face of the Popuiistic opposition to the national banking law to authorize a currency issue greater than 85 per cent of the face of the government Donds, it makes a decidedly- hazardous move for either party to attempt to run to the extreme position of issuing cur rency without any direct bonded se curity. He advocates the amendment to the national banking law permitting banks to issue 50 per cent of their unimpaired capital stock in bills secured by govern ment, state and certain municipal bonds to the extent of their par value with five per cent to be held as a reserve. The government to continue the present stock of bonds and devote the money usenbie iu redeeming them to other purposes that would better serve the public inter ests. The attempt to relieve the treasury of the burden of paying our annual gold balance to Europe that will be apparent every year under our tariff reduction and throw it upon the banks, is to jump out of the frying pan into the fire. Gold would reach a premium. The banks be ing compelled to redeem their currency in gold from the fact of the rem jvai of all lawful money or legal tenders, would refuse to take out circulation, as they have refused to do under the gold re demption section 5,185 of the national banking law. i t r ,f r- r .r e .c .-srs rs c t jpk jC .ckjc. rv r .fvc mf XJr jr W Jf JT SaJf Jr Jr W V W 'WXP W jr r tr mr w' VJr f .in I IU i)n Si I 11 Stores, the one at 626 Kansas ave., the other at 617 619 Quincy street, are filled with lovely Christmas Gifts.

Breaking Out Like Chickenpox. New York, Dec. 19. There have been rumors current in Yonkers for several days to the effect that a patient treated with anti-toxine had been poisoned by it to such an extent that his body had broken out in sores. The patient was Alexander Laird, of Yonkers. He had lost his three children from diphtheria within three days and ten days ago he was taken sick with the same disease. Dr. J. Lindaey Porteua suggested the use of anti-toxine and secured some of the serum from this city. Mr. and Mrs. Laird were both in oculated with it. In the case of Mr. Laird the result was beneficial at one. Mrj. Laird, although constantly exposed t to the di-ea3e, has not contracted it. The administration of the serum re- j suited iu tho breaking out of a rash, j which to an unprofessional eye, appears much like chicken-pox. This La accom- panied by an itching which Ls very arr- i noying to the patient. Dr. Porteua said last evening that there was nothing to hss feared that the rem- edy had worked with perfect success so far as he could see. Other doctors agrea in IhXa statement.

All the rioting is done at the public expense, arid whether the treas ury be full or empty the printer must bo paid. All dead congressmen are fully praised in newspapers at no coat what ever to Uncle Samujl, an! even the strain to which the journalistic con science is occasionally eubjectel ia the course of an obituary article is never charged for. Why ali this extra and use less expense at Washington? Congress need not do anything rule or abrupt ia thi3 case. It need uot abolish the eulo gies outright. A simple enactment that each eulogy printed shall be paid for by the eulogist would quit-tly dispose- of the whole matter and it would never be heard of again. KAXSAs J'A 11 A J HAP IIS. The K. U.

Besides t litre are short term sen ators to bo elected in North Carolina and Michigan, while in Georgia A. O. Bacon has been elected for the long term. In some states there will be no great excitement. In others the excitement; will be intense, leaving the bitterest of heartburnings iu its wake, for sena torial contests are within party lines, and wounds made in them do not heal so readily as when inflicted in the course of battles between men of oppos ing political faith. Probably there is more interest in the contest to take place in Delaware than anywhere r-0. It is in Delaware that Anthony Iliggins and J. Edward Ad dicks will draw swords for senatorial place and honors, and there is no doubt whatever that their fight will be a right lively one. Anthony Iliggins first be came a man of national prominence in 1SSS, when a Republican majority was chosen in the legislature simultaneously with the election of Ben jamin Harrison to tho presidency. There was not less W. J. SEWF.I.L. FRANKLIN" MT-RPHV. than a revolution in Delaware that year, though for some strange reason the fact that tho Republicans had won was not generally known for some days, but with the statement to that effect that was sent over tho wires there, was also a statement that, Anthony Iliggins would be chosen United States senator. Tin re were mnny cries of incredulity at first, but the event justified tho prediction. Mr. Iliggins was chosen one of tho two luombers of the upper house frr.m next to tho smallest state of the Union and now holds the seat. Ordinarily in tho circumstances there would bo a re-election, but J. Edward Addicks, a rich man who made his money in gas in a uumbt'r of cities, now comes forward and declares himself a candidate. A cer tain sort of si ice has been added to the situation by the institution of a divorce suit in which this candidate is the de fendant. Iu New Jersey General William J. Sowell is the best known candidate, his chief opponent being Franklin Murphy, present chairman of the Republican state committee and a wealthy varnish manufacturer. General Sewell was iu the civil war, during which he served the Union side with distinction aud after which he entered the employ of the Pennsylvania railroad. Ha has been prominent in Republican politics in New Jersey for many years and has served in boih the state legislature and f STEPHEN B. EI-KIKS. MARION C. BUTLER. in the United States senate.

In ,Wet Virginia the special interest does i;ot arise from the likelibootl of an exciting contest, but rather from tho fact that a Republican is to be chosen for the first time in many years, owing to the oerturuiiig of Democratic ma jorities that was a feature of the last election in West Virginia, as in so many other sta-.es. Additional interest is caus ed by the fact that Stephen B. Elkiiu ,l--l "f '1 V-I.' I -I; y- 1 y 1 w- nc f'YfvM ti "O appears likely to be the man for the place, inasmuch as he has been promi nent in many of the hardest fought bat tles of the Republican party for years. Mr. Elkins has claimed a West Virginia residence for 14 years, and he has very large financial interests there. Prior to 1SS0 he was identified with politics in New Mexico, which territory he repre- -?gr O- E- F.OBERT T. LINCOLN JOSEPH M EDI LL. eented as a delegate in congress as far back as 1873. He was an intimate friend of Blaine and was made secreta ry of war by Harrison in 191. Marion C. Butler, Populist, is the likely man in North Carolina, and his bright prospects as a senatorial candi date are due to the success of the fusion ticket at the recent election. Mr. But ler is the editor of The Caucasian of Goldsboro and president of the National Farmers' Alliance and Industrial un ion. For years he has been a prominent factor in the movement of which that body is the mainspring in North Caro lina. It is understood to be agreed that be shall succeed Ransom, and so there is likely to be no contest in his case, but there will be lively scram bling by Republican candidates for the short term now being filled by Senator Jarvis. Jeter C. Prirehard, A. E. Hat ton. J. J. Mott, II. G. Ewart and Al vin H. Dockery are among those most promi lien t ly mentioned. In Illinois there may be a hot con test, and then again there may not. Directly after the election there was a perf'et t swarm of senatorial candidates, including George E. Adams. George R. Davis, William E. Mason and others. There is some opposition of uncertain strength to Shelby M. Cullom, thepres- j. c. BURROWS, ent incumbent, and favor Joseph Medill, S. S. OLDS many Republicans the veteran editor of the Chicago Tribune. There is, how ever, some opposition to his candidacy, and lately there has been some talk of opp ising elements concentrating ou Robert T. Lincoln. Iu Michigan it seems to be generally conceded that James McMillan will succeed himself, but there will probably bo some fun in the filling of the short term senatorship now held by John T Pattoti, Jr., who was appointed by the governor to succeed Senator Stockbridge, ie.cea.-ed. Julius Ca-sar Burrows, who was a candidate for the speakership of tho house at the time Reed of Maine was chosen to that place, is onaof those mentioned most prominently, and Schuyler S. Olds, who was Senator Stock bridge's private secretary and is known tis a keen and audacious politi cian, is another. Of course Mr. Patton is willing to bo re-elected aud may suc ceed. Congressman Samuel Stephenson, ex-Congressman Jay Hubbell, ex-Governor Luce, General John Hartsuff and ex-Congre-sman Byron M. Cutchcou are also spoken of. In Kansas the Candida es are many. Anion j the earliest to aunounce them selves were J. Ii. Burton and J. W. Ady. I.- ,T. r. nrnTO'S. J. W. AIT. are Caiviu Among the others are Caiviu Hood, Thomas Ryan, J. I?. Johnson, Albert H. Ilortoa. A. W. Smith, Cyrus Leland and others, with ex-Senator Ingalis as a pos sibility. In Wyoming Joseph M. Carey, the present incumbent, Melville E. Brown, Francis E. Warren, Clarence D. Clark, Judge Willis Van Devauter, Rev. Alon zo A. Johnson and several others are avowed candidates, and there is likely to be a very tidy contest. Senator Chandler is supposed to be gafe tor re-election in New Hampshire, and Senator Hoar of Massachusetts is also considered safe. In Minuesota it is said that the re election of Senator Washburn will be contested by a number of candidates, including Congressman Tawuey, S. G. Comstock and Joel P. Heatwole In Idaho a lively contest is expected, inasmuch ae Senator Shoup, who wrote a letter last summer saying that he did not care for a re-election, has changed his mind and decided to cuter the con test. Congressman Sweet, Governor Mc Conncll, Mr. Hey burn and others are also in the race, though the chances are said to be with Sweet. Charles Apple bee. CHOKED IN A WHEEL, Left to Attend a.

China may charge her lack of success In the war with Japan to Prince Kung, who for 22 years was prime minister of the empire. Ilia policy was to resent and discourage all communication with foreign powers and block all attempts to place China abreast of the march of modern civilization. Prince Kung is tho uncle of the young emperor of Chi na, and he used his high office to with hold all fair treatment from foreign na tions that were getting in close touch with China. He was timid, suspicious, insincere and temporizing. In his rela tions with foreign powers ho would do nothing until war was imminent. In 1884, when the French wanted Tonquin, ho condescended to arguo about tho matter, and when argument failed he even resorted to threats. He .old them China would declare war if they attacked Sontoy, but when the French troops captured the town Prince Kung fatill remained in peaceful inac- FP.IXCE KCVG. tion. Seeing that there was no fight in Prince Kung, the French continued ad vancing. This aroused other leading Chinese, whose loud cry for war result ed in the overthrow of the inert Prince Kung. Prominent among the war party that caused Prince Knng's retirement was Prince Chun, his own brother and father of the young emperor. China then made a very fair fight, but France succeeded iu acquiring Tonquin. Statesmen of the Prince Kung stripe are responsible for China's pitiable plight today. They resisted all foreign innovations, believing that China could hide her head in the sand like the os trich and be safe from interference. Li Hung Chang saw that China must be ready to fight foreigners with modern weapons, but men of the Prince Kung caliber so hindered his work that mod ern Japan ia making an easy conquest of antiquated China. y A I" f H yHV l-r- 4 r

Kansas is one of the worst fee-ridden states in the Union, and Shawnee county gives up mora than her share of the plunder. lhe members of the bar as well as men in other professions who are familiar with the workings of the county courts, realize this, and agree that fees ought to be reduced radically. "Justice should be as nearly free as possible." Ibis is the way one attorney put it and he struck the key-note when be said it. "The justice courts," he says, 'are primarily the tribunals of the poor people who can't afford from sixty dollars to one hundred dollars for a little civil or criminal lawsuit Justice ought to be cheaper than that I don't see why justice is a commodity that ought to be sold at a high price regulat ed oy a combine. I was once a justice of tha peace myself and 1 kuow the trouble is not so much with the law as it is with the justices. They put constructions ou it which its framers never ia:ended.Taey charge for little details iu a cae which are wholly unnecessary. The fault with the law is that it is so loosely constructed as to permit such practices. If a justice of the peace were disposed to observe the spirit of the law and not use the otlice as a fee-mauufacturing machine, as the Jouk.val suggests, they could be a great convenience to the poor peoido and a valuable aid to Sound justice." Judge A. Ji. Ouintoa s.iva he can j figure up, oH-hand, fl.bji) which he paid j into the district clersx's otlioe this year in fees, and supposes there is more. Mr. i Qiimtuu couaiders the fees ho has paid i greater by far than tiie revenue he re ce.ved from his profession. It is not an j uucjuimou thing to see a lawyer pay $50 i or ?'iJ ftes in a case in which his own fee was represented by a double X. Aaron Jetmore thmiis the countv should be responsible for none of the fees ia a just. co court that the litigants should pay their own costs except where pauper affidavits show them to be unable to pay, wlieu the justice would get uotii ing. He can afford it, aud poor people uugut to have some triouual. "If 1 were iu tue legislature," Mr. Jetmore says, 'a bill of this sort would be the nrst meas ure 1 would iuiroducj." The light against fee-grabbiug meets with uaaaimous approval of the attor ne s, and ia fact every oue else except the office holders themselves and their subordinates. The lawyers as a rule are reluctant to make the matter an individ ual tiht, however, for they are depead eat upoa the district clerk and the sheriff for many small favors, which, if denied, would hamper them greatly ia their letral work, with absolutely uu redress. "They could set us back eight or nine mouths in a lawsuit merely by ignoring common courtesies," one law yer says. Tliia is the reason the names of lawyers are not given in connection with the tight on fees. After the bar has taken a united action, as they propose to do, they will be less reluctant to tell what they know about illegal fees. They have nearly all had a taste of it V 0 e q Q 1 o V i y Q Q

No Such Muilcal Features Often Seen I'arce Comedy a Lat Nijjht. No matter what has been said about Freeman's Funmakers,in regard to their stealing gags, their skit is a good one, aud will always be remembered as a very good musical farce comedy the funniest Topeka has seen this year. A itood house in all parts greeted them in "A Railroad Ticket" at the Grand last night Only one other company this season has done a better busiaesa here, and that was Corbett's "A Railroad Ticket" is a musical farce comedy. There is lots of fun and good singing in it, and it ia all well done. There is nothing very wearying about it There were no hitches and everything went with "snap and ginger" that showed careful training ia ail' lines. Mr. Free man compels three rehearsals a week. James Kelly, who came nearer being starred than anybody else, was good as Chips, but there were better actors in the cast.'. Wm. Blaisdel, who played the part of the ticket broker, was good enough, but not so good as Arthur Moultoa used to be. About the best farce comedy part in tbe piece is Percy Yere, the collector, as played by Frank Gardiner. He was very funuy and his specialties were good Harry Porter is a young man who made a great hit with the audience last night. He played three parts and play ed them all well. He first appeared as Prof. Rainbow in the scientific commit tee, then as Tammany Hall and once as Lithograph Bill. Porter has a great face anl he nearly got it upside down at times. As Lithograph Bill, his song "The Bowery Girl" was about as good as it could possibly be. The women of the company were all very good for farce comedy people and their singing was superior to that usual ly found with farces. No contralto has been heard in Topeka since Scalchi was here equal to Alice Carle. It is more melodious than Scalchi. Mrs. Louis Heck of Topeka, whose stage name is Maybelle Eckert, has a very good little part in Isabel and played it well. Topeka people were proud la3t night that a Topetta musician, Louis Heck has charge of the musical department. There is every evidence of Heck's training and energy in the manner in which the musical features of the piece are given. They are of a really superior grade. ONE WOMAN'S OPINION. Mine.

A CLEVER ITALIAN WOMAN WHO HAS ALREADY WON FAME. T1U. Question of Clubs Miss Willard and Alls. Authony Colorado's School Super intendent A Crusade ou the Corsage. A Pari Dinner Oown. Visitors to Rome who have had the privilege of attending the sessions of the Academy of Sciences, the Christian Archit-o logical society and ohr learned bodies may have seen a dark, Roman nosed woman, with black piercing eyes and heavy black hair, who was trt ate l with especial consideration and distinc tion by her fellow members. She often takes part i:i the discussions, for she is well able to do so. ttnd her opinions are listened to with deference, interest and attention. Site is the Countess Ersilia Caetani Lovatolli, who had the citusual lienor at the present jubilee of the University of Halle of having tha degree of doctor philosophial cnusa honoris conferred upon her, the first time that a German university so' distinguished a woman. This learned and clever woman be longs to one of the oldest and most fa mous noble families in Italy, a combi nation decidedly rare in the land of Queen Margaret. She is tho daughtef of the well known Roman Duke .Michel, o 1 y v 1 vi a V ii, COt: ST ESS LOVATKl.I-t. de Caetani-SnrrnonLta, le.ceiiled from a, race said to bo older than tho Orsimst and Colounas and numbering among his ancestors Pope Boniface VIII. The duke, a man of fine mind and devoted to literr.ture and science, always kept opt ii house for clover and interesting people, and his daughter from her earliest youth thus came into contact with many famous p-rsons not only of Italy, but of oth.-r countries as well. From the lirst she had a liking for history and archaeology, and her studies were devoted mostly to them. When only IS years old, she was married to the Count Ijovatclli, who, however, died a few years later. In her sorrow at her 'loss sho turned with double zeal to her studies, forsaking society and tha pleasures of high life in the Italian cap ital. She soon became, a member of tha Aceadetnia det Eincei (Academy of Sciences) and other scientific and liter ary associations, and all Italy began to v.-ond?r at her skill. The countess is a master of literary Italian and writes in a most interesting stylo, "covering statistics even with ro mance, "as oiio of her admirers has said. Sho is a hard worker, but judi cially divides her time between work and recreation. SIio is extremely proud of her son, who is now an oitieer in the navy and has earned some fame as an explorer iu Africa. The countess is still a comparatively young woman, and interesting things are expected of her. The Question of Clubs. Tho women of today have t heir clubs, and ic is proper that they should have them. They have their conventions and discuss tho affairs of state, and the pub lic interests are promoted by their ac tion. They are tho leaders in all works of benevolence, and the dependent on charity ate better provided because of tho fact. They are, in fact, tho conserva tors of the world, and though they talk in conventions and give time and pin money to relieving tho poor and betfer ing the condition of the needy they spread sunshine in the homo, make the children happy and bettor and do their duty to tho world. The fact is that af? intelligence is diffused the influence of the women increases, and the world is made brjtter and the people happier. If the women want to have their clubs, lot them. The clubs will do t hem no harm. If they want to talk politics, God bless them for it, because politics needs reform, and they will effect it. If they want to direct the charity in stitutions, encourage them in it, for they can do the w ork better and cheaper than men, and whatever else they want to do it may be safely said that they ought to be given carte blanche to proceed. A good woman wants to do nothing that isn't good, and what she does sho does well. There are. mistaken individ ual who think that the prest nt tenden cy unseses women, but they are mis taken. Tho history of the world dis closes no period in which the women were so charming, so lovely and so pnro as they are today, and tho difference ii that they are now aspiring to the ful fillment of their functions, which is to lead in all that is gentle, good and be neficent. Kansas City Times. liss Willard and Miss Anthony. Differences of opinion growing large ly out of the woman suffrage movement havin g caused a split in the Woman's Christian Temperance union an opposi tion society has been formed. Of this new organization Mrs. Cornelia C. Al ford of Bernardson, Franklin county Mass.," has been elected president. Mrs. Alford favors a separation of tho two ideas temperance and suffrage and holds that the time is net yet ripe for giving woman the ballot. The meetings of two armies of the ribbon at Cleveland recently were pre sided over by leaders of worldwide s cs- fame the white ribboners under tha metrical wand cf the bland Miss Frances Willard, the yellow ribbouers under the quie t, unostentatious influence of Susau B. Anthony. The two women are aa different as it is possible to conceive them. The one is suave and tractable. The other is calm and immovable. Wil lard is politic and poetic. Anthony is logical and matter of fact. Willard ia ileasing as a flower garden. Anthony is utilitarian as an apple orchard. Wil lard is showy and bright in her meth ods. Anthony is practically unseen in the methods. Willard is capturing the world by flattering it. Anthony is con quering the world by the mighty facts. Willard is leading her host by the aes thetic paths of white souled aspiration. Anthony is marching with her battalions through the bristling workaday necessi ties of her sex. Willard is facing fair toward tiie "haven of heavenly rest. Anthony is "right about face" for equal chances at earth's work. Wil lard 's disciples are proud of her popu larity. Anthony's followers are proud of her persecutions and her calm indif ference to them. Cincinnati Enquirer. Colorado's School Superintendent. Mrs. A. J. Peavey, the newly elected state superintendent on the Republican ticket in Colorado, was born in West minster, Mass., and lived there until she was 10, when she removed to Ra cine, Wis. She finished her education at the latter place under the celebrated Professor McMynn. After leaving school she taught for a period of ten years in both Michigan and Wisconsin, was principal of two different schools and made a reputation by successfully teaching in a school whicli had driven out the man who preceded her. She was married in 1861 to Lyford Peavey, who volunteered almost immediately after the wedding and died in the first year of the war from exposure in the tervice. After teaching school Mrs. Peavey owned and managed a book store in Ra cine for eight years. She then took an interest in and part management of the Racine Advocate, following this by the ownership of the Shawano County Jour nal. Twelve years ago she went to Col orado to care for an invalid tister and u only daughter. Tho Denver Woman Voter pays of Mrs. Peavey: "She is known as a wom an of remarkable strength of character. Her excellences were clearly manifest ed in tho positions she has recently fill ed in tho state and county Republican committees. Strength without bitter ness and firmness without animosity have characterized all her conduct in her stand for good government. Her nomination by acclamation was a politi cal necessity. Her election will bring to the office administrative ability of a high order. A Crusade on tlie Corsage. Mrs. Elizabeth Grannis, who seems to bo a matron of excellent intentions from tlie back districts, has begun, we are interested to remark, a crusade on the corsage. In tL course of her visit to the metropolis she has attended the performances at the Metropolitan Opera House and has had her attention divert ed from tho stage to tho boxes. The dis play iu these boxes sho regards as im moral and lias submitted to an interview three-quarters of a column long to that effect and lifts up her voice, like a high necked pelican in the wilderness, against the depraving tendencies of the low Lteekshibition. Whin one arrives at or reverts to Mrs. Grannis' point of view, one can not help sympathizing with her. But everything depends upon tho point of view. The decollete in nature is in this respect like tho nude in art. There are virtuous matrons in this countrywho would be driven from a parlor in which a cast of the Venus of Melos was shame lessly exposed. Even so there are ma trons who would leave or at least make their children leave the opera house on a gala night, though Mrs. Grannis seems to have staid till the curtain fell. She is not to be evaded by an inquiry where she would draw the line. She knows Tjerfectly and tells in detail, though her remarks on this head are too anatomic al for republication. Still we think if she should visit museums of art and as semblages of fashionable society more frequently her horror would gradually wear oft". New York Times. A Paris uinnrr Gown. This is a Paris dinner gown. It has a skirt of striped faille in shades of pale yellow and dark chestnut brown ar- c V- w f --i V V Kir.'J n ranged with panniers, the remainder ol fho gown being in ficelle embroidered tilk tulle combined with dark chestnut brown velvet. The gloves are white. Queen Victoria at Seventy-five. Queen Victoria is said to have not en Juyed herself at Balmoral this fall. Her rheumatism has troubled her considera bly, and she has had to forego several outside functions. This fact has led to a discussion as to whether her majesty is as careful of her health as she ought to be. It is questioned whether her fre quent foreign trips, undertaken so late in life, have been of much benefit to her general health. For a woman of her age it is considered a mistake to leavo the bleak north for the sunny south if a return north at astated time be inevi table. From Balmoral to Florence is a far stretch for a venerable lady who never tried such extremes in her youth, when better able to bear their effeots. Society is also worried by an illnat ured paragraph that has been going tha rounds to the effect that the queen wears eights in gloves. Now if there i anything of which her majesty is just ly proud it is the stnallness and shapeli ness of her hands. When quite a young girl, t-he boasted, "My hands and my voice are the only two really good points I have. As a matter of fact, all the members of the house of Brunswick are famous for their shapely hands. The Romanoffs are also distinguished in this respect. The czar used to be par ticularly proud of his hands, and so was his grandfather, that handsome giant Nicholas, of whom it is reported that he never washed hia hands with soap and water, but rubbed them clean with lemon.

Numbers of the Judicial Districts to 3 Luropcjci. PARTICULARLY IX YESTER5 KAHSAS. 31arh llay Can be Mawd to the Mtate by Knlarsini; Home of tlie I istrirtw. The people of Kansas p&y out each year under our present julicial system ft'tS,jO0 to tae ju ig-es of ihi district, cir cuit and supreme courts. O tuat amount almost one-half is an absolute waste of money. There are in Kansas at the present time thirty-five ju licial district and th judje cf each district Craws a.i nnnual salary of $2,5u0 from the state. Some of the judges earn themoney and soma of them do not. In addition to the district courts there is tha Shawnee county circuit c-jurt aud the court of common pleas uf "Wyandotte county, and the judjjea of each of thee i cotirts also receives 2,o'jJ a year. I here are threw supreme court judges who draw f:j,UOJ each. The supreme court jujss are overworked aad it is generally conceded that tl.t-ir relief be provided for by the le'ir-Uture at the utiininar eeion by et peltate court or a; least a peals. Judge N. C. JrcFarlani a careful study ot this m i about one-half the i id. t. hilling an ap court &f ap- who has ma le :ter, aay just cihl districts as they now exist coald te di ;ii:st?d with. withvut dirnarir.if the iuierests of the state. As tl.e districts art- iijw arrautfed about one-half of the j udges are idle u larjje part of their time. a'i)e cf them can transact all the court t u!ns3 of their entire district in one niuntti ana I have the other eleven raor-ths ia the year for outside affairs, but the siato ''pay t :e freight." J udge ilcFarlatid says that if the state was reapportioned into about ceo half her present numbur of judicial dU'ricts, there would be a saving- to the state of ah tit 40.UOO annually. If this is done the appellate court can be provided for. and Jive ar peilate judges can be paid U.t'Od aatjuaily, a total cost of $!o,0)0, a:id the state will still be $'i2o.0U') ahead cf the present arrange ment, each year. It is known that Governor elect ilor rill has for some time been feriousl v considering- a measure of this kind, and will no doubt rm.ke some recommendation along- this lice to the leiala;ure, ia his first rnessag-e. When the legislature take? this rcafter np, as it no doubt will, about the first place to com mence cutting will be in fcihawnee county, and the c;rcuit court will be wijed out of existence Then the Wyandotte county court of CDmmon I'leas will be abolished, au 1 its Lusiuess will goto the Wyandotte county iJistrict court Atchison county which is a judicial district by iteelf can be attached to one i,f the adjoining counties und tho one ju ie can stiil do the work and have time on h;s hand. Sumner and ire i-wick counties are dis tricts by themselvij aad they cn readily stand consolidation or aitachnieut to oth er judicial territory. There are six judicial dis-.ricts com posed of two couui.aa e.ica and ail six can be consolidated with other territory. There are fourteen districts composed of three counties e ich and most of these districts can witn t.ieir present popula tion stand additional territory. rlhe two largest districts hi tba itate in area, the 1 hirty-secoad and Thirty-third I are really the smal.est in amount of bus iness transacted. There are s.i couaties in each of these districts, aad vet if the courts were bo arranged, that it wouid be possible, for the judre presiJ.n;, to visit them all iu the same montn; he cculd do all the business in that leath of time. These districts should be and no djubt will be enlarged. There is scarcely oce out of the entire thirty-live districts which could not be ctianed with advantage to tim state and a saving of money for the p eople. tftate senator W. E Siern cf iiawnee county, says he i heartily i l favor of a measure whica wih reapportion the ju dicial districis as suggested by Juae IcFarland. The district judges themselves will no doubt object to such a measure, as about one-haif of them ili, if the rear portiou meiit is made, be st.re to lo-e their jobs, but the interests of the whole peoj. la de mand that something should be done; ud if Governor 31 rrili ro iiea the rec ommendations, in his niesisag-e, hi is thinking- of, something will be dune. it wi.l be argued that I v enlarging some of the western Kansas d.stricis the territory of some of the jo. K- ;s will be made so lart-e that it will take uiust of their salaries for travtiin-r expsnse.-i. As it is now many of these judges ridtj oa free passes, where the railroads will carry them, but the legislature g'.iculd make it a misdemeanor fjr a judg-e to use a free pss and then provide for hia trausportiion. The stale should not, however, pay five or tea c-'a s a Diile where the regular railroad ftre is but three. WANT BLAINE'S HOUSE. The Hi toric SwirJ -Mansiua Mut iiive Way to ky Scraper.

One of the dele gates said that mayors should be paid 5, J 'J a minute. i he general opinion seemed to be that couuciimen should be paid for their time, or at least iToO a year. j They will also a-k that the school j boards be made independent from the j council. The council must now ratify i the levy made by the board. j There may be a revision of the entire j act governing tiiese cities, and a b.ll will be prepared embodying the changes de- sired, which will be introduced at the i coming session of the legislature. i W. C Span:ler was elected chairman and S. D. Weaver, secretary. A commit- i tee was named to consider changes in the law governing the cities to report at be held in the council chamber at 1 opeka on Wedne-day, January aud the com- mittee on legislation will meet January S to prepare its report.

Wliile His Supposed Jiody "Was Heinu Identitied He Appeared. Chicago, Dec.19. George II. Barbour, the young insurance clerk supposed to have been murdered in Pana, 111., walked into the morgue today where half a dozen of his associates had gathered to identify his body. Barbour's father was present and an affecting scene fol lowed, the pair soon hurrying away to quiet the fears of the boy's mother who had firmly believed her son dead. The body of a young man had been found buried near a railroad track at Pana and as young Barbour had disap peared Thanksgiving Day his father went to view the body. The resemblance was perfect, even to a tatooed arm, and the remains were fully identified by the fath er as those of his son. Some of the missing youth's associates, however, doubted the identity, and a number of his fellow clerks were called in today to view the body. There was a difference of opinion, and as the father was in the act of pointing out marks, which he said proved conclusively that it was the body of his son. young Barbour appeared. Ha refused to say anything regarding his disappearance. SPRECKELS RESIGNS. He Ouits tlie California Jockey Clulj He cause of a Grievaui-e. San Francisco, Dec, 19. Adolph E.

Herr Singer, the Socialist Who Recently Created a Sensation In tlio lieiclistag. Herr Paul Singer, tho socialist leader In the Ciermau reichstug, who recently refused to cheer Emperor William, has louy been a successful business man in Berlin. "When President von Eevetzow of the roieh.stag sternly censured the so cialists because they did not rise to their feet in company with the other mem bers and cheer the monarch who seems even at this late day to Believe that the king can do no wrong, Herr Singer promptly retorted that he would never joiu in cheering for a man who told his soldiers that at his command they must fire upon their fellow citizens. This declaration caused a great uproar, and the prosecution of Herr Singer for leso majestie, or high treason, is within the possibilities. Herr Singer has represented one of the Berlin electoral districts as a social ist since 1HS1 and has been "agin the government" for many years. He is described as being very successful in business, very obstinate, very shrewd, very charitable and very courageous, lie is u Hebrew and has made u for- tikrk PAt r. six;fi:. tune in the manufacturing business, which he followed until his temporary expulsion from Berlin eight years ago. Since then ho has devoted himself to political affairs and has been a thorn in the side of the government. A few .years ago he became interested in the founding of a refuge for the homeless people of Berlin. This place provided shelter for all comers and did not require a certificate of good charac ter on tho part of the applicant. The refuge was a great success until the Berlin police began searching it fre quently for suspiieious character.. This procedure caused a decided falling off in the patronage, and Herr Singer in formed tho chief of police that the offi cers of the refuge would 110 longer tol erate tire visits of his officers. "If you do not give me your pledge that their surveillance will cease, wo shall close tho refuge at once," he said. As the refuge was doing a great deal of good in Berlin, the chief was compelled to give the required pledge. Tlie Ian 3iay ISe Jlohhed. MfmnANFiEi.11, Ky., Dec. 19.

In order that there may be no steal and to provide a safeguard against any reckless expenditures, it is now proposed that, the irrigation appropriation be placed in the hands of the executive council for safe keeping, as the cholera fund was duriusj the present administra tion.

There are several irrigation schemes in connection witli the expenditure of the j. ivposed appropriation. One plan is to have an irrigation com -missioaer who shall superintend all ex periments and make an o:hc:al report of every experiment made. Another plan is to make tbe irrigation commission a part of the state agricul tural college and have the faculty oi' tun school da the experimental tae. stu dents to do the work, their time and ex penses to be paid out of the appropria tion. 'ill another scheme is to have a state euloei-t and irrigation commission of aeveral members, who will do the experi menting oa a big scale. The bill to be prepared by the State Irrigation association is looked for with, much interest, as that association repre sents the largest number of irrigation boomers. IJ. L. F. liEABlJL AKTEUS.

With the lirst of the year the new trustees and members of the executive board take ollice and the additional vice rand master?, created at the Harris bursr convention, assume their duties. John J. llannahan of Cuioajjo was elect ed to that position, and the two new ones are: Charles Maier of Parsons, Kan., and C. A. Wilson of Jersey City. The convention also ordered that the vice grand masters should be stationed at headquarters, but it is possible that this instruction will not be strictly adhered to. instead the country will be divided into three districts, so that each of these o!::c;als will have territory in his own pf.rt of the country.

FLN IN SAVANNAH. 0'il.lzaiia Hire Tonsils to fo.y Xliuir Taxes Many I'lgllts. Savannah, Ga.,Dec. VJ. Two factional Democratic candidates are in the lield for the mayoralty, the election taking place in January. Under the lirst use of the Australian ballot system here, no one can vote who has not paid all taxes, includ ing those of this year, and registered. This provision has led to a wild scram ble at lirst, and then pitched battles dai ly between large forces for choice posi tions in line at the tax collector's ollice. He could issue only about 2JU receipts a day, and as the registration cloned Satur day, it was inevitable that many citizens would be shut out. The two factions hired two gangs of toughs, each numbering about 1DU and including the most desperate whites and negroes in the city. These men were paid from 0 to 10 a day. To each was given a list of six names, the largest number the collector woull accept from one person, and the money to pay their taxes with. Each morning for ten days past the gangs have slugged each other 1:1 front of and inside the court house, hundreds of citizens gathering from all parts of the cdy daily to wilneis the big mills. For two weeks at least no citizen has paid taxes for himself, all intrusting their names and money to the hired heelers. At times nearly the entire police force of the city have to tie called to establish or der, an.l for over a week the presence of about 4;) policemen has been constantly required at the tax collector's ollice. The armies of heelers are fed at the rival headquarters, where many of them re mained all night, going out early each morning to resume tne battle at the court house, where beer, whisky, coffee and sandwiches were given them.

A WESTERN POKER STORY. Four One Spot IIcll by a Gawky Striiiii In Game In Sevaja. Speki;.l Correppoii.lenc'. Salt Lake City, Deo. 13. It was yet an hour before tho train was due hero today when, hiving read the last page of the latest magazine an 1 extract ed all the news from the morning paper, I strolled into tho stnoking car in starch of amusement. There I found a typical westerner of the earlier clays regaling another with a story end sat down be hind the pair find listened. "Waal, as I was saying, the speaker continued, "the wast sold lot of gums I ever kuow-ed was out in Eureka, White Pine county. Xev. some four or five years ago. Eureka was a lively mining camp them days, and of coo 'se tic re was a poker g cme running v cp.-n in the one big saloon there. I had some business out toere that year that kept ine in Eureka for foor or five (lays, and when I hadn't anything el-o to do I usoter watch the game. Soir.etin.c-s it was real amusing. "One day in particular thy was a stiff game on, and a tall sort of ftlicr, wearing a biied shirt and a !o;:g coat and a stovepipe hat, come in. He was so tall and thin he was just natehully gawky, and he had a chin beard that made him look worse than ho would of looked without it. He stood around awhile, with his hands in his coattails, and finally the boss, who was playing in the game, sung out: 'Say, you, dontther wanter play a little?' 'Waal, pre haps I do,' says the fel ler. 'What's tho limit?' "'There ain't no limit,' says the gambler. 'How much are yonr chips?' says gawky. 'Twenty-five cents,' the gambler re plies. "'Waal, aya the stranjrer, 'leraiue have a hundred dollars' worth.' "Waal, they give the feller the chips, and he stackf d 'em up in front of him very slow and deliberatelike. Then I noticed that his hands was thin and Ins fingers was long just right for poker. Ha pulled a teg roll out of his pants pocket, and tho fun began. Pretty soon that roll was gone, and then betook one from his hip pecket and then one from his inside coat pocket, and every one of them was as big as your arm muscle. Ho Beenied to have no end c f money. Bimeby ho beg in to win his rolls back, and then the other b-liers' money b -gan to givo out, and then they all dropped out but one. Then tho fellers that had dropped out looked at their friend's hand and put up their rolls till they was all gone, which wasn't Ici er, for tho raises was sometimes J50 a clip. Then j the money drawer of the bank was cleaned out, and then gawky leaned back aud pulled his chin whisker with one hand and said his opponent, real slow and casylike: 'What have you get? 'I've get a full house,' replied the gambler sarcastically, then, imitating the straneor, asked, 'What have you got, you orkard, ministerial looking son of a greenhorn, may I ask?' 'I hive four one spots,' sai.i gawky, grinning, while his 1 yr.z fingrr re a' bed out toward the pile a little mite. 'Migac they be good?' "Say, I never saw a feller 1 roke up like that g.imb'erwas as he she v- 1 over tha money. We all f-it. sorry for him, especially when we found eat that gawky was a Mississippi river steam boat gambler and stco 1 away t; p ia the business, Hecieine 1 ecit a lot of eanips later that same year, aud he d, ii- it al' ways in the same way by having rolls enough and big enoagh to outia-t every body else in the game. Say, ho was a corker, that f.d'er. II? told m in Silt Lake afterward that lie nv. b? a p i .pl more money out cf the miners the vear he went out t Eureka than he ever cl.d anywhere before in t ne same time. it he never hit the Eureka fellers again.

"There waa a boarding house next door to us. Ha came there to live while he wrote his new book. My piano was on one side of that party wall. His desk waa on the other. That is all!" 'And still the Industry of the bee is' held up to admiration. But all men are just as bad. There's not a bit of logic in them. Xow, Howard used to praise my elegant toilets before we were married, and yet when my dressmaker's bill conies in he uses such language that I have to remove my parrot from the room." "Humph, and they actually talk as If we were illogical!" "They do. But what worries mo most is the fact that Howard will smoke in the house. "But you probably told him before yoa were married that you liked smoke." '"What if I did? Ho might have known that I only meant in rooms where tho car pets an l curtains were not my own." "So he might. '"But that is really nothing to the time Lucy is having." 'I didn't know that a woman who had diamonds like hers would know what trouble is. "My dear, her diamonds have given her Insomnia already." "I don't see how." '"She can't sleep if she haa thfn nil in the bouse for fear of btirplars, and she can't sle ep if they are in the bank, lest the cashier absconds with them." 'Poor thins?! Still she can enjoy them all day." "Very true. But about her troubles. M.inrico i3 always complaining; of and, poking fun at her big sleeves, so she took advantage of the fact to have her n&w ball drc-ss made with no sleeves at all." "Quite logical, I'm sure." "Wasn't it? She was to help Mrs. Swellstyle receive the other evening, and she only kept her husband waiting three quarters of an hour, so ho would not have time to get cross. Then she came down In her new gown." 'Well, was be pleased?" "He was not. He sent her up ptoirs to put on a gown with sleeves in it. They got to the reception in time to see tho last of the guests say good night." "Well, he is hard to please. You've heard of Edith's p.eciclent, haven't you?" "Mercy, no! What was it?" "Why, her husband pretends to know so much ahout dress that she depends on hiia to toll her If her toilet is oil right. It flat ters his vanity and saves her lots of trou ble too." "A very nice arrangement." "Yes. Now Edith has taken to wearing ono of the new chignons." "I wish I could, but hair is so cruelly exp-i si ve. 'Yes.

Bile Say It Should Be Exclusively a Chil dren's Day The Ideal Found In the Home Gathering What an Old Bachelor Con fessed. Copyright, 1S94, by American Press Associa tion.! ES, for decades, centu ries, eejiis, there has been but one authorized, ste reotyped, fatig u i n g 1 y uniform view of this an- sji nual festival at least as given to ns conscientiously, and with unflagging voluminosity by tho uni versal public press the editorials, the long, inevitable historical articles, tho cheerful, moralizing appeals for general charity and good deeds, the last usually from a woman's pen, are c-xaetly like those ground out in 'S4, '74, 'G4, 5 1, '41, and so on ad infinitum and ;al naueam. The; lay sermons at the end of all maga zines agre e with these entirely in infor mation vouchsafed, in mellow reminis cences, in rather iatromzing r't-tings to their large clie utelle. Encyclopedias are searched, the same o!d bits from fa vorite carols given. Carols are kindly explained. Tho "boar's head" they all bring is at last associated in a general way with the brain that so bores mo that I sympathize just a little with that edd tyrant, Caligula, who "wished the Roman people had but one neck that he might out it off at a blow. "(iallinbursti" was tho name of tho old original bore, not boar. Let us push him once for all "down the back entry of time" and have a little rest. I do not believe that these facts, many of them doubtful; these quota tions; these gentle lessons, so many, many times exhumed anel reprinted, are e ven read through by any one. Why feel obliged to follow on in the-same old path? I am going to daro to give anoth er sido of the .subject, one that will find an answering echo in many an honest heart, foi- after one has arrived at mid dle age he or she, married or unmar ried, finds the recurrence of Thanksgiv ing and Christmas rather sad occasions, when cuie must try to push away the past, shut tho eyes to the dear dead laces that come up so vividly, forget one-: ..-If in making the time pass pleas antly for those whose lives are still un sullied by sin or sorrow or bitter dis illusions and try to give the children as goal a time as possible. Christmas should be exclusively a children's day. Let lis give it to them, who can tin el glowing delight in trans parent myths, a few toys and bags of popcorn and bright colored sugar plums. For ns grownups it has degenerated in to a laborious taroe that to some is ap proaching the tragic. Presents must be exchanged through tho entire family cir cle, relatives expect remembrances, and especially intimate friends, not forget ting a set of claimants who only send you greeting anel a cheap card, but care fully estimate the cash value of your enforced remembrance and treat you accordingly. The rich waste thousands in endeavoring to excel each other in needless trinkets, bric-a-brac, bonbons, superfluous gems, luxurious nothings, big dinners, costly wines, illustrating that text so true, yet so difficult to ex plain, to those less fortunate, "To him that hath shall be given," or, in every day parlance, "The Lord gives apples to those who have no teeth. It is with such simply "a quid pro quo, and there is very little honest merriment in tho system. In big, blessed, unbroken, congenial families the ideal Christmas is often realized, where tho boys and girls return with families of their own, neve r forget ting tho old people, return loaded with gifts and goodies, and bringing the lively music of happy, satisfied hearts. But to the starved out, the repressed, who make a brave pretense of being at peace and gladsome, it is a hard part to play. In stories written expressly for such people the olel lover returns faith ful and fond; the generous old bachelor carries away captive the youngest, pret tiest maiden of the lot. Alas! in real life the young flirt captivates the aunt's most devoted standby and laughs at tho ancient bachelor who tries to be gallant. One old bachelor confessed to me last year that he was so forlorn at the glad Vnletide that he wished he could be made unconscious until it was over. Ho longeel to skip it and escape from its de pressing horrors. As he must live right through it, however dismal the experi ence, he woulel always take the cars for a long trip, or even cross the ocr-an, armed with a lot of exciting novels to drive away sad thoughts. He was a fine looking, prosperous, popular fellow, aud I know his generosity to others to have been unbounded. He made Christmas a day of feasting and junketing to many. All that does not cure the aching old heart. Throw off the conventional shackles and don't try to be so terribly, so un naturally, jovial yourself, and soon the smiles on the dear faces, as yet free from lines cf care and sorrow, will be reflected way down in each lonely heart. Then we shall not have to say, with Longfellow, "How inexpressibly sad are r.ii holidays!" Kate Saxhorn. It is estimated that New York spends U.CiOO.COO for its Christmas candies. OLD DAYS AND THE NEW. Vancouver Island as It Waa and aa It Ia. X.if In Victoria. Special Correspondence. Victoria, Deo. 8. Iu the old days people took life very easily here in Vic toria. They opened their shops late in the tuorning and closed them up early in the afternoon. Over their dinners they lingered long. They smoked to soothe themselves and talked calmly about nothing in particular. If there were not" enough holidays in the year, they made more, so aa to supply proper ly their strong demand for rest Food was very cheap and easy to get, and la bor commanded a high price. The Si wash Indians eold the game they killed to the white man for next to nothing. It cost less for a deer bought from them than it would to buy enough powder and shot to kill it. Salmon, if possible, was still cheaper and easier to get. This state of affairs was, to be sure, favorable to ,he inhabitants for their command ing of that good and sufficient amount of leisure which poets, philosophers and other men of a brainy caliber say is so necessary for man's happiness. But this restful state of affairiexisted only in the old days. In the new days the present days things as-o altogethei different. Tho hurry up spirit of the nearby, busy United States has crept, or rather rushed, into the town. Every body is hustling. Men are plenty, and labor is cheap. The shops ope'ii oaily and close late. The people forget to Un gear, and they have stopped studding tho year with holidays. Tho men who Btill have a yearning for plenty of leisure have been forced to leave town aud go np into the northern part of. the island. There they live with tho Siwashes and do nothing but fish a little, hunt a lit tle and laze and smoke to their heart's content. Victoria is the finest town in iJl British Columbia. About 13,000 peo ple live in it. The hurry np anel rush around spirit has resulted in the giving to it of beautifully paved, elegant high ways and drives. The better the roads the swifter tho rusli evidently became the motto of tho people after they had arrived at the conclusion that it was necessary for their well being and hap piness to try their level best to get 25 hours' time out of the 24. Also there are many fine buildings and a public park. In the center cjf the park stands a mound, called Beacon hill. Why it i3 called Beacon hill is a problem the solving of which may lie in the assertion that the Victorian wished to pay a compliment to Boston, that town which is eo conducive to the full development of the human intel lect. The Chinese are well represented here. They seem to have arrived at the con clusion that thero are flowerier places even than the Flowery Land, and that this is one of them. They wash clothes, cook, do laboring work, walk sedately about, and, above all, look unpictur esque. If ever prosaicism was embodied, these people embody it. In1 San Fran cisco themselves and their quarters are in a way picturesque, but here they are, to say the most, an unstartlinjj and un interesting lot. The Victorians are al ways grumbling about them. They as sert that when they come to a country they carry hard times on their backs. This is true, because the white capitalist uses them as a means whereby he can starve to death his white brother. In the long winded, bitter discussions con cerning them, however, one never hears anything of this fact. Neither does he hear anything about the fact that gold greedy white men smuggle them across frontiers and through harbors in defiance of their own laws and exclusion acts. Some ten years ago, toward tho clese cf tho restful epoch, so to speak, Vic toria was a rather trying place to live in. Just then it wras the rendezvous of outlaws, of ccdor adventurers and other kindred gentry who hael departed in haste from different parts of the world for the good of their health. The gold find in Similkameen, B. C, attracted them, and Victoria was their stopping off place. They were always raising rows and ructions, maiming and ki'ling each other and breaking the peace gen erally. They had little time for work and plenty time for fighting. As soon as they harl made a stake at the placer mines they would come in and spend it aud incidentally call the town to wit ness that they were spending it. They would have been a charming and de sirable acquisition to the regular popu lation in the sense of affording an ele ment of excitement to offset and balance its easiness of peace and manner if they hael exterminated only each other, but now and then they turned their at tention to the old time inhabitants, and the result was that they were suppressed vigorously and effectually. They found to their cost that the old timers knew a thing or two more about fighting than they did. Of late many fine buildings baveben put np in ictoriak The courthouse is especially notable, and yesterday morn ing I puzzled my wits for quite a time trying to think of the stylo of architec ture its designer had followed. At last I dismissed the problem by concluding that the architect had been thinking of a Chinese pagoda, aOrecian temple and something else I couldn't guess what at one and the same time. It may have been that the sight of the many Chinese here had affected his imagina tion to such an extent that he uncon sciously swerved in a Celestial direction from the Caucasian ideals of the build ing art. Be that as it may, however, the courthouse has a fine, imposing effect. O. W. C'Lakk. The Tlgrer Slaying: Championship, At Singapore the post of "tiger slay er in chief for the Straits Settlement" has just been given to M. de Nancouot, a Frt-nchtuM with a record of 500 ti gers killed. Major General Probyn, his competitor, had slain only 400. -The is laii has always been infested by tigers, which are said at time to swim across the strait from the mainland, FOR LITTLE FOLKS. A Toung Naval Officer. Princes of the house of Hohenzollern assume their duties in life very early. On their tenth birthday they rec -ivo their commission in the army, and so last July the third son of the Oermaa emperor and empress. Prince Adalbert Ferdinand Berengar Victor, received the usual family honors, but as two of hi elder brothers, tho crown prince aud Prince Eitel-Frederio, were in the army already little Prince. Adalbert was des tined for the sister pcrvice, tho raw, ami a few weeks later the emperor took his pinall son down to Kiel to formally enter him as a sailor. Princo Aflalbi i t is perhaps thej finest broking of tho six imperial brothers and is oertainly the most mischievous. Ho is always up to somo pirank with Eitcl-Frederie, the two being regular comrades in fun, very unlike tho sedate young crown prince, who too often seems overpowered w ith the prospects of his future responsibil ities. An Optical Illusion. Take two similar white cards, and in the ce nter cf one cut a round hole hav ing about the diameter of a lead pencil. Now place this card over the other, and with the point of a pencil make a rotind dark spot on tho under card of the same size as tho hole in tho upper. Place tho card with the spot about 12 inches from you on the table, resting it against a glass to keep it upright. Now take the card with tho hole in it in both bands, and resting the elbows on tho table close the right eye and look steadily at the dark spot through the hole for half a minute. Now, with both eyes open, con tinue to look steadily at the dark spot through the hole in the card, and you will bo surprised to see two holes ap pear, through either of which, by mov ing the card from right to left, you can see the nark spot. It sometimes happens that persons, after looking at the sp.it; in the manner described with both cyn and then shutting tho left eye, can still see the spot, but nr;t if the right eye is closed, a fact which proves that, there are right and left eyed as well as right and left handed people1. As a general rule, right handed people are right eyed, anel left handed people left eyetl. Ex change. Kuttinsr. Down th? orchard road thpy ran.

Yon know, of courses that trolley cars get the electricity by means of which they run from an overhead wire, through which a strong curre nt is al ways passing. That current is powerful enough to kill a man instantly, and y t we see the linemen on their elevates! wooden platform handling tho wire with ungloved hands. Why is It that they do not receive a shock? We were talking to onfl of the jahii the other day about this, and he told ns that so long as tho linemen stood on their platform, which, you know, is built np from the bed of a wagon, t!c-y would be safe from a shock, bnt that if thej handled a "live" wire while? th.-y were touching the ground the re-ulc would be fatal. In other words, their pbttform insulates them anel prevents the making of a circuit through their body. He said, moreover, that the platform, to insure the safety of the men, should be perfectly dry. If wet, it would prob ably make a complete circuit, and tho men would get tho shock. Philadel phia Time-si. Mrry Jack Frost. Jack Frost mar!" a pieture fair and nrlght.

Denver, Dec. 19. "Your dleates have been asses." says John Buras, M. P., and now the delegates are wild with rage. This sentiment of the English delegate occurred in a conversation with Delegate Worsmaan, of Brooklyn, over the action of the convention of the Amer ican Federation of Labor ia refusing to indorse the socialistic political t la'.forra. A number of delegates heurin r of this proposed calling Burns to account for his insulting remark as to their UiUeriag in opinion from the great labor lea ler, but Delegate Pumeroy, of Chicago, took the matter in his own hands. Ho sent by a messenger a letter to Mr. Burns, tlie eubstance of which was to ask h.m to re ply to a query as follows: "If an American were to go to Ilnj land would he n-cape the d ici pond if he criticised personal habits and insiita tionci of your people as you have freely done during your stay in America." Mr. Burns had mado no reply up to a late hour. KEEP THE liOYS 01 T. Young I'entonn Sliould Not I5e Allowed to Jftar l'oli( eCourt lnleceu y. If Police Judge Kusminger wants to set an example to other po.ice judges in other towns that will be a mighty good thing for posterity and the rising gener ation he fehould enforce an order m his court forbidding young boys to listen to the indecent evidence with which it is often necessary to blacken the atmos phere in the court room. Often when soma viie case ia on trial the court room is crowded with men aud boys and, be it said in shame, sometimes women. If the men an 1 women who are old enough to know what they want, desire that sort r f delectation, it is their own busiuess, but the line should be drawn on boys whose knowledge of life is just forming and whose trains are mora than susceptiblo to the ia3 jeace of moral tilth. No person under eighteen should te allowed in a police court room a3 a spec tator, and if possible not ad a wuuess. There is a cloud of indecency in polire court nearly every morning, that could soak in a tender brain o thoroughly that it could hardly be eradicated by the most moral teaching afterward. In justice to the comiug mac, let the police judges exclude the boys from po lice court hereafter. CJOT THE WRONG TRAIN. A Southern Knnas Farmer Who VTould Like to Have His $'i Back, lie was a brown man with blue over alls on and a gray coat. He had with him a look of de erminatioa and two prod poles with iron in them. His beau tiful disregard for the colors that would best betray his complexion and the poles branded him as a farmer and a stock man. He had been to Kansas City with his stock and he had sold it and as he enter ed the Itock I-ilaud train at the Kansas City union depot last night you could see he had obtained a good price for it. He had entered the train and was go ine to slay there; you could see that by the way he took olf his overcoat and threw it over the seat and puiled his black hat over his eyes and prepared to sleep. iSoon after the train left Argentine hia dreams of beef on foot, were rudely awakened by that universal pest, the conductor, who demanded his fare. The farmer had a pass. It was the first time he had ever ridden on a pass, but tie had been reading the State Jour sal, and he did his best to throw a little of the judicial air into his appear ance as he pulled a bit of piaper from his vest pocket and produced it. He evidently felt as though the eyes of the entire world were upon him in awe, and he was proud of it. But his pride fell. "You can't ride on this," said the con ductor. "Can't, hey? Like to know why?"' "Because this isn't your train. This is a Santa Fe pas3." "Wall, what difference does that make:" Ain't it good for a ride in the kyers'r" "Yes, but not these cars," said the con ductor. "This is the Itock Island." "Great Gosh," said the countryman, with a start of alarm, "let me olf, will yer;" "Can't do it out here in the country. The best thing you can do is to go on to Topeka and take the Santa Fe there. It will cost you two dollars." "Two dollars, great gosh, do you wan't to rob me'" "No, but I want my $2 or you can't ride. It" a the fare." "Well, cf all the blankety blank gall. I heard you fellers 'd rob me if you got a chance, but I didn't believe you'd do it for ,f J." He paid it, but when he got to Topeka he jumped oil at the north side uepot and started for the Santa Fe as per di reetit ns, to see if it was gone, owearing all the time that he would make the San ta Fe company put up the extra fare or never ship another steer over that blamed old road. McKinley or Peed. Of course he is not enough of a silver man to suit the people cf Colorado, but I doubt if any one can be nominated who would suit the people of that state. Reed has come around, to a certain ex tent, in his financial theories.

An out-of-town sheriff arrived in town last night with a crazy man e tis igne i to the state insane asylum. The couple were waiting at the transfer station for an electric car, when tha lunatic slipped away, and going into the fruit store near the alley began to pilt up ia his arms all the bananas, other fruit and boxes of candy he could carry, while the proprie tor stood back too surprised to say a word. The sheriff found hiru there a:ud explaia ed to the proprietor. 3UKINLE Y NOR REED. K. ,T. UartsTiorne Thinks Neither One Stand Any Show. j F J. Ilartshorne of Iowa, who was ser j geant-at-arms of the Fifty-first congress j and who is a urominent Republican pol i iticiaa, is in the city. He is au oi l friend and neighbor of Mayor T. V. Harrison, and is visiting him on his return from. Colorado, where he has been traveling with his family. Mr. Ilartshorne is a ready talker, espec ially on political questions. "While I ex pect that the Republican strength will receed somewhat," said he to a Journal reporter, "I do not believe that anything cau prevent the election of a Republican p resident in lSO'i Tne south is broken up and hereafter there will be a chance ia that locality. It will not be all one way." "You Iowa people have a candidate for president. Do you think there is any likelihood of his receiving the nomina tion'.'" inquired the reporter. "Yes sir, I think that Allison stands a very good chance of securing the nomi nation. The west will be with him and that alone will mean a great deal. I do not believe either McKinley or Reed can be nominated. Reed lives too far east and McKinley is looked upon, whether justly or not, as a man of one idea. So I tiiink a western man may be chosen, and in that event Allison is tha man." "What about his financial views?" klle ia much more liberil thau either What a San FranriHro l'aper Says of Her liUytleu. A copy of the San Francisco Examiner has been received at this office. It has a great deal to say about Mrs. Lease. Fol lowing is the impression made on the Califoruian3 by the Populist female orator: "Mary Elizabeth Lease, the woman who has made more stir in Kansas than any half dozen men since John Brown of Osaw attomie, isn't as volut'le a conver sationalist as women agitators are prone to be. She has her ideas, expresses them with confidence and closes the sub ject with a snap, waiting for something new to be suggested. "She is tail, straight and looks muscu lar; bnt she laugns a good deal for a woman who has been so much cartooned and lampooned and derided. She doesn't Beem to take her life so seriously as those who have criticised her. In fact, she's a bit of a "j osher" in ordinary everyday chat, however she may volley and thun der from the stump. It wouldn't be a tit out of her line to turn a practical joke." Mrs. Lease talked about dresa reform to the reporter. She said: "The bicycle is a grand thing. It will do more for dress reform than all the preaching. I don't expect to use the bici cle myself, but I have two daughters, and I want to see them grow up free and untrammeled in body and free and untrammeled in mind. When women ride the bicycle, of course, they should wear the so-callel 'bicycle costume the bloomers or the short skirt. It is absurd and positively dan gerous to ride in long skirts. Once women find how much more comfortable they are in rational attire it will not be long before the old tyranny will be broken. By all means, let women ride the bicycle and let them take their exer cises in proper costumes." r f It (.el I'.iZ I'a.V.

Probably every actor that comes to To peka has some "kick coming" in regard to "swell jokes" of his that have been "cribbed." It is part of the professional achievement to be able to steal jukes that are heard When Joe Cawthorn was here a week or so ago he had his tale of woe they all have. "You get a new song," said Cawthorn, "and you can revel in the bliss of soli tude with it till you get into a town where there aro three or lour other thea ters, and then some afternoon you give a matinee when tha other houses are closed and the people of the other companies come over to see your show, and there goes your song. If 1 am onto a job of that sort I sing my old one. Jokes are the same way. They are stolen too quickly and so completely that the thief is in a pretty good condition to turn around and accuse you of stealing them from him. There ia always a quarrel among actors on this account aid people out of the profession don?t know really who are the real originators of any piece of the 'business. A really legitimate actor don't do that sort of thing, though." "Stealing pieces bodily, has gotten to be such a'common thing in the business that it may come to barring professionals in the same line of business from the entry of the theater. Nearly every suc cess is being played in crossroad towns over the iNorth, East, "West and South by companies of barnstormers under hlgh-30unding names. People in New York and Boston make a epecia.ty of attending performances four or five times, and after stealing the scene and plot, steal most of the dia logue, being stenographers. A woman in Indianapolis recently advertised cdp ies of "Hazel Kirke," "Alabama," "Young Mrs. Winthrop," 'Rag Baby," "Shenandoah," "The Senator," and oth ers for sale at the rate of f 15 each. "Ha zel Kirke" was pirated three weeks after the original production, and "Alabama" was being played in the west before it had completed the first short New York run of sx weeks. Clearing Shoe Sale.
