TWO CENTS. FRIDAY EVENING. TOPEKA, KANSAS, JANUARY 24, 1S96. FRIDAY EVENING. TWO CENTS. IT IS OUR CITY Under the Leadership of the Commercial Club. let Topeka Press On to 100,000 Population. STIR UP CIVIC PRIDE. Make Every Man, Woman and Child in Topeka Proud of His City State. and His WORK HEAPED HIGH For the Commercial Clnb and Its Friends to Do. The Future of Topeka In Its Citizens' Hands. AN EXAMPLE OFFERED Of the Wonders a Pennsylvania Town lias Done inManuf'actures Hone Though Not Large. Now that the Commercial club of To peka has been organized, the business men of Topeka should hasten to take membership ia it- There is a future for Topeka, but that future must be made by the men who now live in Topeka. They may be content to live comforta bly in a pleasant country city like Tope ka, and be gathered to their fathers, and buried quietly in the cemetery, after a sleepy and agreeable existence, or they may be millionaires and magnates with the commerce of many states within their grasp. There ia plenty of money and glory it bard, judicious work in the right direc tion. Opportunities come to men in f live, growing city," frequently beyond the wildest dreama of their younger days, and honors and riches neaped on the man who nas songnl iDem ailrgentiy, go far toward making life worth living. So, why should any Topeka man of vim and energy be content with what he has? Let Topeka have 100,000 or 150,000 people, with its six and eight storv blocks, its improved transportation, big ger bunks, bigger mills, bigger libraries, theater, churches, and institutions o! learning, and more than all, bigger op portunities for its citizens to follow out Aeir ambitions for doing good for them selves and for others. Every man wants to occupy as large a place in the world a affairs as he ia cap able of filling and the bigger the city where his life work is carried on, the more substantial the fulcrum on which be rests his lever. By organization men can do more V than singly. The Commercial club is to be an aid toward making Topeka more or a center for Kansas wealth, innueuce. and culture than it is now. It will find its hands full of work and work of the best kind. Today a letter comes to the Jocrnat. office from a Kausas man, a close observer who has been visiting at York, Pennsylvania. His letter is so entirely vr in touch with the objects of the Com mercial club that the Journab gives it in full. The writer says: "A visitor from Kansas to New England and Pflnnarlviiniu will at mma Minnlnila that the greatest necessity of the Sun flower state today is factories of all kinds. "Too much money goes out of the state every year for manufactured articles. "We dig wealth like heroes out of the soil, and Kansas is a great state in agriculture, but as a people we will never attain per manent prosperity till we have estab- lished factories to make our own boots and shoes, and all articles we may use in i the home, in the shops, and on the farm. "One is overwhelmed with surprise when he learns how much cash is drawn out of Kansas through banks in the east, for nearly everything we use. The city of York, or little York, as it is called, though it is no longer Utile, hav ing a population of 33,000 souls, has in the past fifteen years become the largest manufacturing city in the Uaited States in proportion to its population. "Take a few of the institutions of York and observe the facts about them, and t Kansas people will learn a lesson how to supplement her rich soil by milis, machinery and skilled labor by which to quadruple her wealth and make her a most potent factor in everv deDartment of the government. "The York Carriage works turns out 3 I from 200 to 230 carriages every day and .itno genial manager informed your cor- respondent that many of them reached Kansas. By close figuring and careful business management they are clearing 15 per cent on the capital invested, while at the same time giving employment to 800 operatives, who rent houses, buy groceries and swell the commercial in terests of the city. "One is surprised to learn that all they ask is a net profit of from three to four v.iv. a a vaiu fcugv. 1 111) Ol Ll 8 U taent that we haven't the timber and iron in Kansas and therefore cannot compete with eastern factories, has no force when we recall the fact that the timber for most of these carriages is trans ported from Michigan and Wisconsin Illinois and Missouri agree to lay down the iron bar in their factory at the same price as the PenBsylvauia mills. Some of the material lor these carriages comes from New England, which is farther from York than Topeka is from Missouri and Arkansas. "Take another inatitnrinn Th Vt, Card and Paper company,' "an immense vatavusameui, covering three and. one- half acres, six stories in height, and em ploying hundreds of operatives, and per fectly alive with ingenious machines. There we witnessed the operation of mat inc ornamental wail paper. 'One machine printed seven colors in most elegant designs by one revolution of the mammoth roller. 15 v the same belting miles of paper were being dried and prepared for shipment. the origi nators of that enterprise invested $50, 000 in the plant and the first year cleared $42,000, which figures were given me by one of the firm and are absolutely cor reef. 'I fonnd on inquiry, that their paper is jobbed by houses in Kansas City, fat. Joseph and Denver, and o course is the very paper that covers our walls in Kansas. It handled by Topeka dealers and all over the state. It staggers one to think that our people spend thousands of dot lars every year for tbue designs, which could be as well produced here as In Pennsylvania. I he paper itself is not made in New York, but shipped to them from paper milis in New England on massive rolls; they simply ornament it and adapt it for house decoration. "It was still a greater surprise to learn also, that every machine with which they printed the paper was made in lork. "These are just two of the leading manufacturing enterprises of this old city, but hundreds might be brought into the argument, who are working along the same lines, and casting their net 3 of trade and busiuess over the entire land. It is true that labor is cheaper in the east than in the west, but living is less costly in the east than inline west. "It has been said also thar transporta tion is more costly and difficult in the west than in the east; but when you con sider that these factories ship their pro ducts all over the country, from ocean to ocean, and still make a handsome profit it becomes more evident that we in the great interior would have a decided ad vantage over any other section in the country?" li. AND O. PRESIDENT Elected Today, and It is John K. Coir en, UeiierRl Counsel. Baltimore, Jan. 24. Hon. John K. Cowen, general counsel of the Baltimore Ohio company and representative in congress from the Maryland district, was today elected president of the Baltimore Ohio, to succeed Charles F. Mayer, who resigned in November. Mr. Cowen was decided on as a com promise between the factions in the board favoring Major Alexander Shawan and second vice president Thomas M. King. The meeting at which Mr. Cowen was selected was a special one and was held at li a, in. Mr. Cowen waa the choice of the New York and Garrets interests, their etes being cast solidly for them. His election was a mere formality as it was decided at a conference between the Bal timore and New York directors at the Hotel Stafford last night to present his name. Mr. Cowen was present at the conference and at first was adverse to as suming the presidency of the system, but finally yielded. TILLMAN IS RESTLESS. Despises IlieSuaiia Culled ''Senatorial Courtesy" ana Toreateus Revolt. V AsniNGTON, Jan. 24. A statement has been shown Senator Tillman to the effect that the Democrats of South Caro lina were ready to boll the Democratic ticket and join in a movement to form a now party. Without either confirming or denying the statement he said that nine-tenths of the people of South Caro lina are opposed to the financial system that is now in force, and that they are ready and willing to go over to any party or form a new party if necessary to bring aDout a cuange mat will give them more money. When pressed to suggest a remedy tnat might bring about such a nanny re sult, he replied that nearly all the white people of South Carolina believe that free silver will afford them relief. He says that they are opuosed to the retire ment of the United States paper in favor or the national bank notes, and they are all opposed to the issuing oi oonus. Senator Tillman is not even on erood terms with his South Carolina colleague, for they never speak as they pass bv. al though, they were as close as peas in a pod not many months ago. Senator Till man appears to be chafing under the re straint to which he is subjected bv what is known as "senatorial courtesy," and he threatens to kick over the traces befoer long. A MIGHT! COLISEUM. St. Louis Will ow Erect a Convention Hall Second lo None. St. Louis, Jan. 24. A morning paper says: It the plana of a number of the leading citizens of St. Louis are success- lully carried out this city will soon have a convention hall which will comfortably seat over 10.000 people, and which will ne secona to none in the United States. 1' or several years the militarv men of the city, have agitated a movement to erect a handsome and comfortable ar mory that will be large euough to ac commodate the entire militia, both in fantry and artillery of the city. Since St. Louis secured the Republican conven tion, some of the most influential nrr.la of the city members of the hiino men's league have conceived the idea nf combining the armory scheme with the erection of a convention hall, and ex pending for this purpose money to be used in building a wigwam or fittincr un one of the naves of the Exposition build ing for the convention.

HARRISON IN COURT. lie is the Chief Attraction in the Sn prune Court Itoom Today. Washington, Jan. 24. The supreme court room was the center of attraction at the capitol today.. The news that ex President Harrison would appear drew thousands through the mud anil rain to the capitol, and for two hours before noon the halls were thronged and the doors besieged. Mr. Harrison appeared just after the marshal had called the court to order. He took a seat at a table immediately in front of the chief justice, and sitting there in the presence of many famous men, he immediately became the target of all eyes. It was the first public ap pearance in Washington since he left the White house three years ago. Uis ap pearance had changed but slightly. The careworn look had disappeared and time seemingly had dealt kindly with him. there was the same soft grey hair and beard, almost white, the clear pallid complexion and the bright grey eyes. He wore a pair of ordinary spectacles and cousulted his notes freely while ex- Chief Justice Ithodes, who preceded him was speaking. TENTH DAY, OF CLOUDS. Do Not Look for tha Sun Tomorrow Either, Say tH Prophets. The storm of yesterday instead of bringing clear weather, as the weather men at first promised, but served to in crease the cloudiness and this condition continues today throughout eastern Kansas. The weather bureau predicts today that tomorrow will be cloudy also, and that light rain or snow is probable to night. They say that the temperature will be higher. Alonjf the lines of the Santa Fe in the eastern portion of this state the weather is reported cloudy and cool. At Nick- ersou and points wast, clear and cool weather exists. On the Oma ha and Fairbury divisions of the Rock Island the weather is clear. On the Horton division it is quite cloudy, and on the western, Henngton. and Chicasha divisions it ia reported partly cloudy. In Colorado and southern New Mexico the weather is clear and cool; in north ern New Mexico cloudy. AWARDED 40,000. Vardiet Agalnl tile Maxicaa Central for Imprisonment of Ad Employe: Chicago, Jan. 24. Forty thousand dol- ars damages was awarded today in the case of Herbert Oehr against the Mexi can Central railroad. Gehr went to Mexico n 1887 and the next vear obtained a position in the office of the company. He had been there two years when the robbery occurred, which caused him to be locked up until lie was released on a demand from Washington. The attor neys tor tne defendant moved for a new trial, and the case will be taken to the highest court. BAD FOR HORSES. Many Animals Fall on the Slippery Pave ment Today.

WHAT AILED BURTON That Led Him to Hake Such Wild and anieidal Keinarkt, The Kansas City Times today contains the following gossip from its Topeka correspondent about J. It. Burton's St. Louis interview which, was published in mis paper yesterday, me litres cor respondent says: The criticism of Mr, Burton's inter view is not confined to his enemies. His friends regard it as a greater "break than his Jeff Davis speech. "Too bad! too bad! too bad! said Colonel George VV. Veaie, who was one ot .Burton a prin cipal backers in the fight last winter. "It will make all the other candidates hate Burton, and prevent a combination. Poor Burton! His weakness, like bis strength, is bis fluency of speech." The Times correspondent called upon Dave Mulvane. general manager for Mr. Bur ton, and asked him wbt he thought of the interview. Air. junivane sighed and said he was too busy to talk, lhe re Dorter had respect for Mr. Mulvane's feelings and did not press the question. State Senator Bill feterne, who is look ing after John J. Ingalls' fences in the Fourth district, said that the interview- would weaken Burton. "For several months," said Sterne, "Burton has been trying to give out the impression that the light would be between ingalls and mm self. This was done to kill off western oDDositiou. Burton sees that there is a movement in the west for a western man for senator, and by sifting into lhe papers stories that he is the man Ingalls will have to beat, he hopes to receive the snp port of that section. Th& scheme was beginning to bear fruit when Burton fell down by declaring all candidates except Ingalls and himself to De "small try. Among Burton's friends in Topeka there is a sort of interrogatory feeling of wonder as to whether Mr. Burton was strictly sober when he made such ill advised remarks so damaging to hiinBelf. CALDWELL AGAIN. e Little Rock, Ark., Jan 24. The Arkansas Populists who attended the recent national committee meet inc of that party at St. Louis returned with some Interesting informa tion which they are imparting to their brethren throughout the state. This intelligence is to the effect that the western and southern Popu list leaders have centered upon Judge Henry C. Caldwell, formerly of Little Rock as the man wliom they will nominate for the presidency at the convention to be held, in St. Louis. July 23. 1896. v They say thore "ean'be no doubt what ever of Judge Caldwell's nomination in view of the formidable boom started ia his behalf. THE EAST GETS ALL. Senator Allen Nnj'i the West Can't Met Public Balldlnga. Washington. Jan. 24. there was a brief flurry in the senate today when Mr. Cullom sought to secure the passage of a joint resolution amending the act rela tive to the Bloomington, Ills., public building. Mr. Allen, (Pop. Neb.) said there seem ed to be a little ring in the senate as to lavorable action on public buildings. Tire east secured public buildings, but the states of the far west did not. Mr, Gallinger (Rep. N. U.) protested against the extravagance of Mr. Allen's language and tjiere was an extended de bate as to the sections whicn nad re ceived public buildings. Mr. Cullom suggested tnat tsiooming- ton was the home of the vice president, the presiding officer of the senate, whereupon Mr. Allen said he would yield to an appeal and the resolution was passed. A SCANDAL BREWING. Chicago, Jan. 24. An autograph let ter hf been received by Col.

Fort Scott, Jan. 24 At the last regular meeting of the city council the question of purchasing $40,000 or $50, 000 worth of the new United States bonds was introduced by Councilman C. Hahn and upon motion the matter was re ferred to the finance committee. A ma jority of the council appeared to be in favor of the proposed investment, and, as the city has considerable fuuds now on hand, from .which but a rery low rate of interest is being derived, it is thought that the finance committee will report favorably on the matter.

COMKDYINC: The Leader of. the Cuban Rebellion Has Consumption and Can Live But Two Months. INSURGENTS ALARMED Over the Condition Chieftain. of Their A Trick Played Upon the Queen Regent of Spain. Coyy righted lsocbythe Associated Press. Havana, Jan. 24. For some time past reports have been in circulation here concerning the physical condition of General Maximo Gomez, commander-in-chief of the insurgent forces. One story has asserted that he was suf fering from" wounds and that he was seriously ill with fever. It appears from information derived from trust worthy sources that neither-of these re ports is correct, but it is positively as serted that the insurgent chief is -a very sick man. It is stated upon the authority cited that the doctors in attendance upon Gen. Gomez recently held a consultation and diagnosed his case as being an advanced stage of consumption, complicated with fever. It is further stated that the physicians have come to the conclusion that Gomez can only live about two months longer. These statements have caused consider able alarm to the insurgents and their friends, as even though his condition may be exaggerated to some degree, it is believed the main facts are correctly stated. THOROUGHLY SPANISH. How the Queen Recent Was IeoeIved in the (3ti4toui try SpianiaH Fimhioo. New York, Jan. 24 A special from Havana to the World, after reviewing in detail the intrigues in Cuba, to bring about the recall of General Campos, says: General Campos refused to resign, but placed himself in the hands of the bpan ish miuis'.ers. The responsibility was thrown on the latter. The greatest difficulty iu the way. of the success of the plot' was the queen regent of Spain. This excellent woman is a devoted friend of Gen Campos, whom she regards as a father to her. Her con sent was necessary-before Sen. Campos could be removed. A bold stroke was mnde to secure this. It was reported to the Queen that the life of the Captain General was in danger from the Havana mob, that his valor and tenacity would prevent him from avoid ing or yielding and the only safe thing to do to get him out of the way was to re call him. The fact was gnored that Havana was perfectly quiet, that there were plenty of troops within call and that Gen. Campos himself reported no disorder. The queen consented to his recall aud the enemies of the General triumphed. Immediately after the order had been issued the queen addressed a long cable message to Gen. Campos. She informed him that she believed him to be in danger. Sue renewed her confidence and regard aud altogether sent a sincere. friendly message that expressed her heart's feelings. General Campos understood the situa tion perfectly. He determined to so home uutrammeled. He declined a highly honorable post offered to him by the government and he will immediately resume his place as a senator of Spain. HANSON ON TRIAL. He Is Being TrteU This Afternoon for JVon-Sn jport of Ills Family.

Thorpe, police matron, Chief Wilkerson, Dr. Mitchell and Mr. and Mrs. William Kichter, who live next door to the Han sons, are the witnesses for the state. Mrs. Hanson is unable to be in court, because of the treatment she re ceived, it is said. The state expects to prove by its witnesses the terrible condi tion of the house and family in regard to lack of food, fuel, and clothing, and to its general filth. Hanson is sprucely dressed to day and sits curling his mustache beside his at torney. EAST STORM SWEPT. Wind, Rain aat Sleet De.troy Telegraphic Serv.o. in New Tork. Nkw York, Jan. 24. A severe storm of wind, rain and sleet is prevailing in the east today. Telegraphic communica tion between this city and points in New England is entirely suspended.

Ed Horner, formerly of Topeka, but now agent of the Canon City Coal com pany at Leadviile, Colorado, is having his name used by a forger who is swinaling Leadville merchants. The Leadville News Reporter of a recent issue tells how a merchant of that town cashed a check for $23 supposed to have beea signed by Mr. Edward A. Horner, but. when taken to the banK it prove J to be a forgery. COL. COPE GORDON TALKS. Ills Opinion oft&e Proposed lay Salt AgaJnstHim. The law under which Edward Stephens, the colored man who was refused per mission to ride in the Copeland elevator will act is a state statute. The offense is a criminal one and is described as a misdemeanor and that is the reason Stephens requested the county attorney to bring the suit. The penalty is fixed at a fine of not less than $10 and not more than $1,000. CoL J. C Gordon, proprietor of the Copeland, says be is not a bit worried about having to pay Mr. Edward Stephens damages for the treatment he received at the Copeland yesterday. To a State Journal reporter this morning Colonel Gordon said: "This is an outrage in this man Stephens stirring up a muss of this kind; I don't run my elevator to accommodate people who are not guests of the house and are here looking after their own business. It doesn't make any difference whether they are white or black. "My elevator boys have instructions not to carry young people on the ele vator, make them walk. 'I hoy are plen ty able to walk. I tell the boys to carry women, old people, lame people and fat people, but to make the young, able bodied folks walk. I don't see why I should pay the fare of outside folks riding in my elevator. It amounts to that. The water that runs that elevator is measured by the gallon, and I have it to pay for. Soma months my water bill amounts to $100, and I venture the assertion, and 1 believe it to be true, that fully one-half of the water I pay for is used by people not guests of the house." Col. Gordon's language was most vig orous as he gave his version of ths Steph ens incident. He said: "I did not see the first of it, I noticed the fellow stand ing in front of the elevator and saw that the elevator boy was hesitating about something and I said to him 'What do you want?' He Baid he wanted to go up to Judge McFarland's room. I said 'Well you know the way don't you? You have been up there. There are the stairs.' I don't know whether I said anything about not carrying Negroes,(Col. Gordon pronounces the word carelessly) in the elevator or not; maybe I did; but for that matter I don't carry white people either who are young and able to walk. ''After he had started up the stairs and g'ot up a step or two I remember he did mumble something about having a lame ankle. If he had said that in the first place he could have gone up in the ele vator, but ho won't make anything out of this. "I never turned a colored man or woman away from my house in ray life. It is true there have been no Negroes here for two or three years bnt a few years back there were lots of them, and I always entertained them, No colored man who asked me for entertainment was ever turned away. They slept in my best rooms and ate in the dining room with my other guests, I never turned a negro away in my life, and I have turned white people away who have wanted to stay here many a time. 'There is not a day passes that I do not feed colored people who come here hungry for something to eat, I leed more white people than colored, I can say for the Negroes' credit. No person, white or black who ever came here for something to eat, who was sober and decent, was sent away hungry. "I can prove by all the people around my house that I never made any dis tinction between white acd black per sons. 'I think this is a mean thing to print in a newspaper about a man but it is worth more to me than running a card as an advertisement a whole year. "If the newspapers will just keep this up awhile I think I will be a candidate for delegate-at-larze to the national con vention. I guess I could count on a good share of the Negro vote. Most of them will be so jealous of Stephens they would vote for me." YERY SINGULAR. A Woman' Idea.

Her escort nodded. "How very interesting! Now tell me,' when are the bulls and the bears let in? After the men are through quarreling?" "The men are not quarreling, Mrs, Bloobumper. They are merely buying end selling. There are no real bulls and bears, those terms being applied to the brokers themselves. The bulls are those who expect the price of stocks to ad vance, and the bears are those who expect the price to decline." Mrs. Bloobumper looked disappoint ed. She wanted to see the animals fight. Women are so sanguinary." Then she asked "If they are buying and selling, where are the counters where the goods are displayed? Do they give out samples?" Her escort then went into a thorough explanation of the method of doing business and of the commodities bought and sold. He expatiated on the vast tmount of wealth represented among the dealers, of the enormous transac tions day by day, and then added: "Before a man can do business on the Coor of the exchange he has to buy a seat, and sometimes as high as $30,000 is paid for one." "You don't mean to say," she de manded, "that those men down there have paid such enormous prices for seats "Yes." "Well," she added, with an air of deep conviction, "if I had paid that much for a seat, I would not act like those men are doing. I'd sit in it." The North Pole.

A Sailors' Mutiny That Began That Vay But Ended Quite Differently for the Participants. CAPTAIN OF THE MARIA Killed by the Mutineers in the East Indies. They Are Finally Taken Pris oners by Savages. Ban Francisco, Jan. 24. A trading firm in this city has received advices from the English consul on the Island of Yap, one of the Pelew group in the south seas, regarding one of the most atrocious sea tragedies that has been re ported for months. On November 19 the crew on the American trading ves sel, Maria, mutinied, it is said, and mur dered Captain Brown, Mate Hohlmann and a passenger. The captain's wife and their son were nearly killed by blows from an ax. The tragedy was reported from Singapore on Novem ber 20, but it was erroneously stated that the mutiny took place on the Spanish ship Maria Secunda. The Maria is an American ship Hying a Spanish ensign. The mutiny occurred off the Andrew islands. Captain Brown retired at 10 o'clock at night, leaving the boatsswain, a man Darned Hover, on deck to stand watch. Mate Hohlmann had already turned in. The boatswain stole quietly forward and gave word to the crew that the time had come to act. He secured a sharp hatchet from the cook's galley fuel box. and stealing below to the skipper's cabin he struck at Captain Brown with the weapon, nearly cutting the sleeping man's head from his body. Brown turned on his side and gave a dying groan, which awakened his wife. Mrs. Brown raised upon her elbow and shrieked for help. Mate Hohlmann heard her cries and sprang from his berth to go to the rescue of the woman. Hover had stationed a Pelew boy behind the door to the mate's cabin. The lad was armed with an ax, and when Hohl mann made his appearance on his way to the captain's room, the boy dealt him a terrific- blow on the head, killing him insta'ntly. The Dasseneer-jvas caged below, bat all the firearms were removed from the cabin and he could not find anything with which to defend himself. The mutineers were afraid to attack him in the saloon, so they called to him to coma on deck, saying that his life would be spared. He came on deck as directed and was struck at by one of the sailors. He ran to the rail, bleeding from a cut on his shoulder and jumped into the sea. lhe mutineers then took the corpses of Captain Brown and mate, ma tie them fast to an anchor and pitched the weight into the sea. The schooner was headed for Andrew island and Mrs. Brown and her boy were kept close prisoners, it be ing the intention of tha mutineers to put them ashore on an isolated coral reef near Andrew.

2 STATE JOURNAL., FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 24, 1896. LIKE POPULISTS. Silver Party will Convenes in St Louis on July 22. The Convention will be National and a Delegate One. TIIIS MEANS FUSION. Senator Jones Made a Stirring Ten Minutes Talk. Dr. J. J. Mott of North Carolina, National Chairman. Washington-, Jan. 24. The silver conference yesterday resulted in the adoption of the strongest kind of a de claration for the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1.. and the call for a delegate national convention to be held in St. Louis, July 22, lo96, the date of the Populist national convention. Tha call for the convention expressly stipulates that delegates to the convention shall be willing to subordinate party allegiance and fealty to the principles enunciated in the declaration and to support the nominees of the convention. A provisional national committee -was organized with headquarters at Washington, and with authority to I proceed at once to the organization of States and territories for the success of the movement There was an animated discussion, early in the day, of the financial situa tion and the policy to be pursued by the friends of silver. During the dis cussion considerable feeling was aroused by some of the remarks made by General Hatch of Missouri, in which he stated in effect that if the Populists of Kentucky had done their whole duty the election of Mr. Black burn to a seat in the United States senate would not be a matter of doubt. Ueneral Field of Virginia and otheTs made heated replies. Mayor Turner of Lansing, Mich., and Senator Stew art of Nevada also addressed the con vention. The committee on resolutions, of which Senator Jones of Nevada, is chairman, submitted a report, the pre amble of which is a complete state ment of the position of the silver ad vocates. It declares the money ques tion to.be the paramount issue of the day, and that the conflict is between the gold standard, gold bonds and bank currency, on the one side, and the bimetallic standard, no bonds and government currency on the other. 'On this issue," they say, "we declare ourselves to be in favor of a distinc tive American financial system. We are unalterably opposed to the single gold standard, and demand the imme diate return to the constitutional standard of gold and silver, by the restoration by this government, inde pendently of any foreign power, of the unrestricted coinage of both gold and silver as standard money, at the ratio of 16 to 1, and upon terms of exact equality as they existed prior to 1873; the silver coin to be a full legal tender, equally with gold, for all debts end dues, public and private. The final declaration is as follows: "Thatover and above all other ques tions ot policy, we are in favor of re storing to the people of the United States the time honored money of the constitution gold and silver not one, but both the money of Washington and Hamilton, and Jefferson and Mon roe and Jackson and Lincoln, to the end that American people may receive honest pay for an honest product, the American debtor pay his just obliga tions in an honest standard, and hot in a standard that is appreciated 100 per cent above the great staples of onr country, and to the end, further, that silver standard countries may be deprived of the unnatural ad vantage they now enjoy in the differ ence in exchange between gold and silver an advantage which the tariff legislation alone cannot overcome. We, therefore, confidently appeal to the people of the United States, that leaving in obeyance for the moment all other questions, however impor tant, even momentous they may ap pear, and sundering if need be all former party affiliations, they unite in a supreme effort to free themselves and their children from the domina tion of the money power a power more destructive than any which has ever been fastened upon the civilized men of any race or in any age. And, npon the consummation of their desires and efforts, we invoice the gracious favor of the Divine Prov idence." The report was wildly and loudly applauded as it was read, and the con ference seemed to be filled to the full est extent with enthusiam. It was read by Senator Jones, chairman. At the conclusion there was a big demon stration. The delegates arose to their feet and cheered loudly and called for Senator Jones. He spoke for about ten minutes, and his remarks were vociferously applauded. The follow ing is the report of the committee on organization: That a convention of qualified voters of the United States, who believe in the principles this day enunciated by the conference, and who are willing to subordinate party allegiance and fealty to those principles and to sup .Tort the nominees of the national con vention provided for by this confer ence, shall be held in the city of St. Louis, Mo., on the 22d day o'f July, 1S9I-, at the hour of 12 o'clock noon. On motion Dr. J. J. Mott of North Carolina was unanimously elected chairman of the national executive committee. A committee on finance, one from each state, was selected.

Washington, Jan. 24. The Repub lican silver Senators have signed a de claration which is intended to be used in the coming campaign as the de mand which the silver men will make for a plank in the na tional convention. In the preamble it is recited that the present financial system endangers the industrial prosperity of the United States, which is threatened by China and Japan, as a result of the decrease in the value of silver and the difference of exchange between silver and gold using countries. It is therefore resolved that the signers favor the free and unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1 for the purpose of obliterating this difference of ex change, which is declared to operate as a bounty on the export of products from silver using countries to gold using countries. It is also resolved that they favor a tariff which shall equalize tbe difference in the cost of labor between this country and the countries of Europe and Asia. It is the purpose of those who are circu lating the declaration to get all the Republican silver men in congress to sign it. GOMEZ IS DRIVEN BACK. He Attempts a Sortie Upon Havana but Is Repulsed.

Monroe Doctrine, Finance and Tariff Up for Discussion. THE OLD HEED UTILES Adopted in the House with gome Modifications. Town Enforces Curfew with a Vigilance Committee. Washington, Jan. 24.

Afire in the three-story Dodge street school build ing, in which COO children were recit ing yesterday afternoon, created a panic. Several children fainted, though all escaped without any serious injury. That a catastrophe of great magnitude was averted is due to the heroic conduct of Oflie Downs, a 14-year-old boy, whose duty it is to beat the drum which keeps the scholars in line in emergencies. As soon as the alarm was given he scurried down to the principal's office, got his drum, and, stationing himself near the door, pounded out the tunes while the chil dren marched away. Hundreds started with a rash until the drum sounded. The fire department responded quick ly, and the blaze had full sway when it arrived, although the teachers had varied their duties bv hustling pails of water and attempting to quench the blaze.

Opinions at Washington as to the Re ported Russo-Turkish Treaty. Washington, Jan. 24. The French ambassador said he had no news on the subject, and apparently was dis inclined to credit the Pall Mall Gazette's statement." Other diplomats said they were also without news. The dispatch iving the details of the treaty were circulated on the floor of the Senate and were read with ex pression of general interest, especially by the committee on foreign relations. Senator Davis expressed the senti ments of a majority of the committee when he said; "If true, this is the most important diplomatic event which has occurred in the past fifty years. It means that Russia can move her armies across the Turkish border. Such a treaty would result in the immediate settlement of the Ar menian question, and if France has also entered into the alliance, as ap pears probable, the result would be that the fleet of those two countries would virtually control the Mediter ranean, and that means more than any one can now foresee. It also means that England will have something to do besides bullying Uncle Sam." Senator Lodge said that a coalition between Russia and Turkey, such as that indicated, would mean that Eng land would have her hands full of bus iness on her own continent, without interfering in American affairs. Senator Vilas remarked that it looked as if Russia had at last suc ceeded in getting a foothold on the Mediterranean and was on the eve of virtually annexing Turkey to her do minions. He confessed that his sym pathies had always been with Russia in this struggle. The dispatch was read with great surprise by the members of "the House committee on foreign affairs. Mr. Hitt was inclined to doubt the news, lie said, however, that if Russia had signed such a treaty, she must have done so with full knowledge of all the consequences that must follow. The treaty of Berlin, which rescinded the Russo-Turkish treaty of San Stephano, was designer particular to prevent such an alliance as the Pall Mall Ga zetts outlined and to preserve the bal ance of power of Europe. For Russia to trample on that treaty must provoke the gravest imaginable consequences. Mr. Draper, of Massachusetts, said he found, in his "recent trip abroad, that the prevailing feeling against Great Britain because of what the other powers regarded as her land grabbing policy, was everywhere so strongly manifested that no coalition which left her out could be an entire surprise. Story of the Alliance Denied. London, Jan. 24. Dispatches to the Daily Telegraph from Vienna and Paris deny the report printed in the Pall Mall Gazette of an offensive and defensive alliance between Russia and Turkey. ine jCTDie won. The credit of actually winning an election is claimed for a party emblem in the little town of Benton, Ky, where a local option election was held a few days ago. The campaigners for license adopted a jug as their emblem. The prohibitionists later adopted a picture of an open Bible, with the words "Holy Bible" in big letters across the top o! the open page as the emblem of the anti-license forces. The people of Ben ton may be thirsty, but they are pious, and it is related that when the open Bible and the jug of whisky were pic torially placed before them, they cculdn't vote against the Bible, even though they favored license. The choice between the two touched them in a vulnerable spot, and the election went very dry. Superstition in Prussia. At Peukuhl, a small village in Prus sia, a farmer died last March. Since then one of his sons has been sickly, and somehow a rumor was started that the dead man would not rest until he had drawn nine members of the fam ily also into the grave. To "conjure" the spell, a near relative must open the gTave and decapitate the corpse. Ac cordingly the sick man, armed with a spade, went to the cemetery, exhumed his father's body, and cut off the head. His Wild Prophecy More Than Fulfilled. Joseph Bell, the engineer ,of Steph enson's Rocket, has recently died at the age of 83.

Professor Bumbo Jones Lectures on "Why Ar Dis Thus AND IT WAS- A GREAT LECTURE. Brother Gardner Even Hinted That They Had Hold of tbe Wrong Han. When the sound of the triangle had called the meeting to order, Brothel Gardner arose and said that Professor. Bumbo Jones, the colored Henry Clay of the south, was waiting to deliver a lecture before the club on "Why Ar' Dis Thus?" There was no telling how it would pan out, but he thought tlte club might chance it, and therefore or dered the reception committee to show the gentleman in. Samuel Shin, who has had a cold in the head for the last 1 1 years, was relegated to the back seats, and the hall bad just grown quiet when the Clayful lecturer was introduced in one time and three motions. Like all great philosophers, his shoes Were down at the heel, his elbows frayed, his knees out of true, and his general appearance proved a carelessness on his part as to whether he got np right end first or not in tbe morning. He was received with entfansiastio applause, during which Deason Baker managed to give Elder Toots a vigorous kick and lay it to acci dent. As he bowed his applause two but tons were heard to strike the wall be hind him, and his collar made a deter mined effort to rise above his ears. "My fr'en's," began the honorable in a voioe rich with anticipation of the com ing chicken season, "we go to bed at night. If we hev no company, we go to bed 'long 'bout half past 9 o'clock. If we hev a soiree on hand, it may be two hours later. If I ax yon what you go to bed fur, yon answer, to sleep. What do yon sleep fnr?

No cure, no pay." r The orator paused here to imbibe a glass of water, and a puzzled look crept into Brother Gardner's face. He was observed to make a signal to Giveadam Jones, and that individnal nodded, as if he understood it. v "We hev de backache, continued tho orator, "de backache, de colic, pains in de chist, fits of melancholy, bad dreams, sudden desiah to jump off de tower of de city halL We hev eich things, an we nebber stop to inqnar de reason.

High old ap plause. As the speaker stopped to take anoth er pint of water, there was a broad giin on almost every face, and this was in creased by the uneasy movements of Brother Gardner. It was plain to be seen that he had been taken in and done for again and that he was arranging some sort of programme with Giveadam Jones, who has long held the position of Bogardus kicker to the club. "My fr'en's," pathetically continued the honorable, after the water had been put away behind his nankeen vest, "you is walkin along de street, an am sud denly tooken wid a crick in de back, an can't go on down to de bank an draw out $50.

He retired iu good order, smiling and bowing as he passed down the aisle, but he never came back. Two minutes later hia voice was heard Baying: "Boy- be keerful whar you ppt dat fit of yours. I doan 'low nobody to fool wid me. And a little later; "I nebber skipped a town yit, an I won't begin now." Then Paradise hall jarred and vibrat ed, and the plaster fell in spots, and the stove door swung wide open. Something bumped on the stairs and fell "ker squash" into the alley, followed by a racket as if a dray horse was galloping for his life. In three or four minutes Giveadam Jones returned, the right leg of his trousers split to the knee and his breath coming hard, and as he sat down Brother Gardner arose and said: "My fr'en's, de difference between a philosopher an a fakir is sometimes so powerful fine dat de best of men are de ceived. It's my opinyon dat we got hold of do wrong animal, but dere's no great harm dun. I reckon he won't bodder ns no more, an perhaps he has left us a few grains of wheat among de chaff.

THE TEXAS FEVER TICK Is What Don tne Harmfnl Business Say a Secretary Moore. At the meeting of the state live stock sanitary commission today the rules for 1890 will be adopted in regard to quaran tine. These rules are effective from February 1st to December 1st. During December and January they are lifted. At the morning meeting, at the in stance of Mr. Moore, secretary, the mat ter of quarantine against infection from what is known as the Texas fever tick was discussed. "I find." said Mr. Moore, "that at Mal vern in Osage county and at Summerset in Miami county, trains loaded with Texas cattle stopped on sidings for a considerable length of time. Since the cattle cars are open and they could not well be otherwise and the last board at the side ot the car does not come down to the floor by perhaps an inch, it leaves a little leeway for the cattle to scatter litter on the ground and this litter contains so much of the Texas fever tick that it infected the cattle driven to and from over the track at this place and almost destroyed all of the cattle in that community Jby Texas fever. This thing occurred several years ago at Wellsville in Franklin county. "Now, what I suggest is that the rail road companies be compelled to seal their cattle cars for a distance of two feet up the sides and ends to prevent this litter and these ticks from working out." "But If we compel the companies to do that," said Mr. Brown, "there will be a great roar and they will retaliate by raising their rates of transportation." "That may be true," said Mr. Moore, "but even then it is the only means I see of stopping the spread of Texas fever in our state from that cause." "1 think that is a very good point," said Mr. Johnson, "and we will discuss it further this afternoon." FIRE ON A CORNER. Employe of Chicago "Chicago Tribune" Carries tlis Father Out In II In Arms.

Boston, Jan. 24 A special to the Traveler, from New York says that the ban placed by the Catholic church upon the orders of Knights of Pythias, Sons of Temperance and Odd Fellows is abso lute and offers no further discussion. This is the mandate of the pope through his official representative, Cardiual Satolli. 'i he three orders named have a Roman Catholic membership in round numbers of nearly a hundred thousand. One month ago a number of Catholics connected with the Pythian orgaiza- tion organized a committee of appeai in the hope a proper presentation before, the papal delegate would result in a re call of the interdict, In response to invitations the commit tee received a thousand letters from prominent Catholics in all parts of the country, heartily endorsing the move ment, pledging moral and financial aid. In response to a request to appoint a day for hearing a representative com mittee on the matter. Cardinal Satolli replied to the committee's secretary: Dear Sir I have received your letter of Jan. 20, and in reply I would say that the matter of the condemned society is entirely out of my hands. The last instruction of Rome was that the condemnation was absolute and admits of no further discussion. It was how ever provided that if there seemed to be particular reasons for making excep tions in any individu.il case the matter might be referred to Rome through the bishop of the diocese. If you have any thing to submit in the matter it must all be done through your archbishop. With sentiments of respect, I remain, most faithfully, Yours iu Christ, Francis, Cardinal Satolli, Dei.

But Not as Red Cross Aeents. Washington, Jan. 24. Owing to the energetic representations of United States Minister Terrell, Miss Barton and her party will be permitted by the lurk ish government to distribute relief to the distressed Armenians, although the Red Cross will not figure in the work. This news came to the state depart ment today in a cablegram from the minister to Secretary Oiney in which he says that while the porte refuses snch permissionto the Red Cross.or to them em bers of RedCroBS,as sucu, and thereby declines to officially recognize the secre tary it will permit any person whom the minisier names and approves to distri bute relief iu the interior of Turkey pro vided the Turkish authorities are kept informed of what they are doing. There can be no question that Miss Barton and her party will be so designated by Mr. Terrell. But it is apprehended that they will encounter almost insurmountable obstac les in reaching the field of action, as the mountain passes between the seaboard and the interior are now practically im passsable owing to the deep snows.

On May contracts the early sales were at 62 to 62. to 633, wheat; 29 to 29, coro; 20 to 20, oats; $10.70 lo $10.75, pork; $5.92J4 to $5.95, lard; $5.37 to $5.40, ribs. Hogs were posted at 17,000 and higher and helped the buying of products. Ca bles came Jd higher on wheat from Liverpool and helped the opening of that market. Northwest wheat receipts were 356 cars, last week 373, last year 195. With the local trade generally playing for a reaction in wheat the Btubborn markets proved rather a surprise.

IIow win Judge Vandivert and "W. B, Sutton relish J. R, Burton's classifica tion of them as "small frv?" When the senate gets the matter of responsibility for its Inaction settled perhaps it will enact some legislation. Mb. Cleveland is now indignant that the senate should evince an inclination to take him at his word in the Venezuelan matter. The message was only for po litical effect and the senate appears to think he was in earnest. While England is making her naval demonstration the other powers are qui etly appropriating everything in sight. Russia has secured control of Turkey and France has appropriated the large and valuable island of Madagascar. If anybody thinks that Wall street has no hand in the affairs of the country let him watch the efforts of Oklahoma, Ari zona and New Mexico to get into the union. The edict has gone forth that there must be no more silver states, and it is reported that Speaker Rjed is at the bottom of it. Why should Speaker Reed oppose the admission of more sil ver states? Congressman Bowers, Republican member from the Seventh California district in his speech on the bond bill said: I had rather stand with the Demo cratic party when it stands on the side of the people, as it does on this bill (for what reason, I care not), than to support a Democratic administration that stands in with the gold gamblers of Wall street. The San Diego Sun, an administration organ published in Mr. Bowers' home town, comments on this part of the speech as follows: Bowers does not, however, give Presi dent Cleveland a fair credit for his posi tion in the matter. Cleveland does not issue bonds because he wants to issue bonds, but because under the present laws enacted by Republican congresses be is compelled to maintain a gold re serve to meet the possible demands of Wall street schemers. The president would have the treasury notes retired in order to take from the schemers the op portunity to rob the treasury of gold. Here is presented the same error into which so many newspapers have either Intentionally or unintentionally fallen. The discussion of the financial question could be very much simplified if they would seek the truth and tell it. Now, as a matter of fact, the president is not compelled to maintain a gold reserve by any law enacted by a Republican con gress or by any other kind of a congress. It is evident to any unprejudiced mind that the president does issue bonds be cause he wants to, There is no other reason for issuing them, and it has been demonstrated that they do not serve the purpose for which it ia pretended they are issued. COLOR LINE IN KANSA& The lesson to be learned by. the Cope land hotel incident, in which an edu cated, polite, well-dressed colored man was not permitted to ride upstairs in an levator, is that hypocrisy exists every where; the "hypocrisy of the political prohibitionists'' that we hear eo much about, has a counterpart in the hypocrisy of the politicians, both north and south, who pretend to be friends of the Negro, when all they want ia his vote; the hy pocrisy in the church is answered by the hypocrisy in social life. There is hy pocrisy everywhere and everybody should know it. If we are not what we ought to be. let us not mask our short comings. Fraud should always be ex posed. It is just as well that the colored man should know that he ia just as Da desired by the proprietor of a Repub lican hotel as of a Democratic hotel. Perhaps the colored man may eventually learn to be an independent voter, a man without a party, as the white man is rapidly learning to be. But will this better his condition? If he ia Hltreated at hotels, he may sue in the courts, bat it is doubtful ia many cases if he can re ever damages. To a high-spirited, educated and cultivated colored man, the snubs, scorn, and illtreatment he is certain to receive from many members of the white race must produce the bitterest and one might say moat re vengeful -feelinga. Imagine a white man so treated by a race or class his su periors in wealth and power and you can well picture what angry rebellious thoughts must surge through his brain. All right minded white men must feel pain and sorrow that the unfortunate black man is so treated. No man with a kind heart and enlightened mind can see a fellow creature's feelinga ruthlessly wounded without having the conviction borne in on him that it isn't right. But sorrow can not heal the colored man's hurts. Law is powerless to pro tect him from insults and illtreatment. He may force himself into hotels, thea ters and Pullman cars, but he will be shunned, not more than half waited on, and treated in such a manner that he will wish he had kept aloof. This ia true and it is a shame to our civilization to admit it Even the Christian religion in some instances can not warm the human heart toward the colored man. Last summer a colored Christian Endeavorer started from a Georgia town with a party of white Endeavorsra bound for the nation al meeting at Boston. They bad char tered a Pullman; when night came, by a preconcerted arrangement with the rail road authorities, the white Endeavorers suddenly changed Pullmans. The col ored delegate's car was sidetracked, while the white Endeavorers proceeded joyfully on their way tc Boston singing songs of Zion. What can be done for this most mournful and bewildering problem incur country race prejudice? Is it true, as John J. Iogalls says, that the races can never live together in peace and friendship? Must they separate far ther and farther each year? Whatever is done, however, must be done by mem bers of the colored race. They must decide what is best for them to do and do it The white race will not, at least at this day, extend the hand to help them as it should, nor will it vouchsafe advice as to how they shall make their way out of this wilderness of prejudice and wrong. It is content only to turn coldly and scornfully aside, treating the colored brother with a hauteur that is almost brutal in its relentlessness. DELIGHTS OF TRAVEL. Heboid Bow Great a Commotion a Lit tle Fire Maketh. From the Cleveland Plain Dealer: My most amusing experience from a re trospective point of view occurred up on my first visit to Lorain, Ohio, some ten years ago. I arrived at night, and the proprietor of the only hotel in the placed put me to bed with a man who inhaled with a basso profundo snore, and exhaled, as near as I could judge, through a tin whistle. I did not sleep well, and in the stilly night, when the landlord put his head in the door and remarked "Fire!" in a tone, of voice which made the furniture jump up and down, I nearly awoke. A few minutes later the landlord repeated the remark with so much emphasis that my bed fellow arose with alacrity, and, pois ing momentarily with one ample but sultry foot upon my thoughtful coun tenance, he stepped lightly into the street, taking part of the window sash with him. As the room began to fill with smoke it suddenly occurred to me that the fire department consisted for the most part of four buckets of water and a chorus of hoarse shouts. I therefore decided to retire from my room. The other guests seemed to feel the same way about it, and aa I reached the hall I noticed a dignified, elderly lady from Sandusky going swiftly down the stairs seated upon the sample trunk of a young man from Toledo. Outside all was commotion. Strong, brave men were ringing the town bell, while noble hearted women were wringing their hands. A young lady from Berea, clo'thed in a Gainsborough hat and an air of deep concern, was galloping mad ly up and down the street with a pillow under her arm. An investigation dis closed that a large amount of excite ment was being wasted over a email amount of fire. The trouble was caused by cigar sparks, which flew into a hair mattress a defective "flew," so to speak. The fire was extinguished by throwing the mattress out of the window. It fell on the town marshal and knocked him senseless, after which the town once more lay down to sweet dreams of future greatness.

Sothern, John Drew, Alexander Salvini, the Holland Brother and Several Other Sncecasfnl Stars and Leading Actors Come or Theatrical Stock. i It has often been noted that the chil dren of great men seldom compare favor ably with their progenitors in point of ability. This may be and doubtless is In great measure due to the fact that the original standard set is so high that it is Impossible for any one short of a wonder to gauge up to it satisfactorily. At any rate, it does appear to be true that states men, inventors, generals and professional men generally seldom leave children who are above mediocrity. Bather they are frequently far below It. This, however, cannot be truthfully said of the children of actors. Outside of the fact that most of the well known and most prominent stars of the present time are of theatrical stock, many of them are only the natural successors of parents whose excellent work has been commended by the generation now nearing the sere-and-yellow-leaf period. The instances might be multiplied almost indefinitely, but a few only are necessary to demonstrate the correctness of the proposition. To begin at the top, Junius Brutus Booth, who was by many regarded as the very best of the robust American tragedi ans, was the father of Edwin Booth, than whom no greater actor ever lived any where, and John Wilkes Booth, the as sassin of President Lincoln, who, it is generally asserted, really believed that he was superior as an artist to his wonderful brother. Then, too, there was Junius Brutus, Jr., who thought he was an actor, and probably would have been tolerable at least had it not been that any little luster J. K. HACKETT. JOHN DREW. MAUDE ADAMS. VIOLA ALLEN. AUBREY BOUCXCAULT. that he might have had was hopelessly dimmed by tho brilliancy of his brothers. E. H. Sothern, at the present time one of the most successful of the younger stars of the American stage, is a worthy son of a distinguished sire. Young Sothern did not jump into a comfortablo, ready made stellar berth either. His present position is due to the persistence with which he cultivated the inherited talent under cir cumstances which wero frequently tbe re verso of encouraging. True, it is exceed ingly probable and almost certain that if he had not been the son of the great Lord Dundreary he would never have been given tho opportunity to show what he could or could not do. Still the chance came, and the ability which was his by inheritance came to his rescue and landed him in the position of a successful star. E. H. Sothern has a brother who is an actor in his company. His name is Sam uel, but that makes very little difference, inasmuch as nothing that Samuel is likely to do in a histrionio way will place the Hudson rivor in serious danger of immi nent conflagration. Still he is by no means a bad actor, and in some roles has done really creditable work. John Drew is another successful Ameri can star who comes naturally by his great ability. His father was John Drew, an actor of no mean attainments, and his mother is universally acknowledged to be without a peer in the English speaking world in old comedy characters on the general lines of Mrs. Malaprop in "The Rivals." John, the younger, might al most be said to have been born on the stage. He certainly was born to it. His work in the leading roles of the plays produced by Augustin Daly's company won for him the most enthusiastic commendation of the critics of London, an achievement tbe magnitude of which can only be appreci ated fully by those persons who have made theatrical ventures on the other side with American stars, who in almost every case have been pronounced failures, despite the fact that they were favorites Jn this coun try. John Drew's brother, Sidney, albeit a most eccentric Individual, whose egotism partakes of the monumental, is neverthe less an excellent actor. He is far superior to his brothor in two or three styles of characterization and immeasurably his inferior in two or three tpmdred. The sister, Georgia Drew, who married Maurice Barrymore, had no snpri5? 02 the Amer ican stage in light legitimate comedy and high grade farce. Her untimely death was a distinct loss to the theatrical world, which contains too few women of her wonderful attainments. She left a daugh ter, Ethel, who is now an actress and la said to give promise of ultimate though slow development; but, to be perfectly frank, it is yet too early to say whether or not her double inheritance of histrionio ability will give her the prominence which it is not unnatural to expect. What a theatrical family those Drews are to bo sure! Sidney znarriod a daugh ter of Kittie Blanchard and McKee Rank In. She has been a member of his com pany, as has also her sister. Neither of them is remarkably clever, though both are quite competent in not overexaoting roles. Effie EUsler is tbe daughter of old John Ellsler, once the theatrical idol of Cincin nati, and for some time a partner of Joe Jefferson. In fact, one of Jefferson's greatest early managerial successes was made while in copartnership with Ellsler in Charleston, S. C, In bringing to that city sweet Julia Dean, who afterward mar ried Mr. Hayne, one of the family which has helped to make the Palmetto state famous in history. Effie went on the stage at an early age, but it was not until she had played the title role in "Hazel Kirke" during the phenomenal run of that piece In New York city that she attained any thing like national celebrity. This it was which, in my opinion, led to her undoing, so to speak. She soon after wont a-star-ring, and met with sufficient success to continue indefinitely. The clean cut methods, naturalness and spontaneity which had made her charming were in a measure lost, and she has never since been the same Effie Ellsler. Had it not been for her great hit in "Hazel Kirke," I firmly believe and I am not alone in this opinion that 6he would today have been one of the most popular female stars in America, and it would not have been nec essary for her to travel all over the country each season either. E. L. Davenport was a great actor in nearly every sense. He left behind him a son and namesake who is likely to bo a credit to his progenitor. It is not likely that he will ever reach the heights of fame attained by his distinguished father, for the conditions of the prosont day in the theatrical world are such as to render that well nigh impossible, but ho is certain to be heard from prominently. His work E. L. DAVENPORT. E. H. SOTHEHN. is actually eamcolike in its cleanness and directness, and he is possessed of a fine physique, with the indispensable good looks which go to make up that vague something, good stage presenoe, without which no leading juvonile can hope to suc ceed nowadays, in this country at least. Young Mr. Davenport is better adapted for the romantic drama than almost any contemporaneous actor in America, and it is not unlikely that he may be starred in It in the near future. Another son of a dead favorite is J. K. Hackett, at present practically the leading man of tho New York Lyceum stock com pany. This young man is just as certain to "nrrivo" as the day is to follow night. Most actors of his age and experience hold ing his present position would consider that they had already arrived, but Hackett appears to be looking ever upward. He never slights a part for even a single mo ment and has never been known to in dulge in that reprehensibly frequent prac tice of taking the audience into his confi dence in other words, playing to the gal lory. He appears to be oblivious of the fact while on the stage that there is any one at all "in front." To this extraor dinary conscientiousness is allied ability of a very striking order, and how this combination can fail to land him in the front rank of American actors is more than I can figure out. Aubrey Boucicault, the son of the nineteenth century Shakespeare, Dion Boucicault, is an actor of merit. He has appeared in a wide range of characters and has made a creditable showing in each line he has essayed. He is best in light comedy with a farcical leaning, although in the sorious leading juvenile role in "A Woman of No Importance" he made an emphatic hit, as he also did later in the principal character role in the comic oper etta, "Madeleine; or, The Magic Kiss." Given good management and a trifle more of continuity of purpose, Aubrey Bouci cault will be a money making star. He is handsome and refined in his methods. He is also one of the very few of our young actors who can wear full dress on the stage with the appearance of being used to it. Viola Allen, the popular leading lady of the New. York Exuiire theater stock company, is the daughter of C. Leslie Al len, a player of the old school, who is now a aisraber at the" John Drevr organization. Miss Allen is probably the highest salaried woman in her line of work on the Ameri can stage. Maude A dams, who plays the principal female roles in Jobs Drew's productions, Is the daughter of -an actress, and it is to that fact, more than to any other, perhaps, that sho owes her present commanding position on the American stage. It is cur rently rumored that Miss Adams will bo a star next season, and if she should be it is practically certain that she will be a successful one from tho start. The three Holland brothers Joseph, E. M. and George come of theatrical stock, and it would bo difficult to find a strongor histrionic fraternal trio. George has taken to management, but his brothers are still on "the other side of the footlights" as stars. Alexander Salvini is the son of Tomasso Salvini, the greatest Othello and Gladiator the world has ever seen; Coquolin comes naturally by his great ability, as also do Mrs. Kendal, Julia Neilson, Ellaline Ter ris, tho younger Grossmith, Fritz Wil liams, Frod Terry, George C. Boniface, Jr., Joseph Wheelock, Jr., and scores of others who are today delighting the theater goers of the world. OcTAVTJS COHSH. New York. Frohman and Mansfield. When Charles Frohman secured the Garrick theater, New York, other man agers wondered what would be done with that cczy little playhouse. Those in the secrot are aware that Mr. Frohman out lined his policy for the Garrick before he signed the contract. Mr. Mansfield will appear at the Garrick, of course, and the rest of the time is taken up by Charles Frohman's productions. When a success ful play is launched there, it will not have to go on the road in the height of its suc cess. Mr. Mansfield and Mr. Frohman are in thorough accord. One of the first attractions will be an American play, and with Richard Mansfield as lessee and Charles Frohman as manager the theater will bo about the best equipped with brains of any in New York city. The Bostonians Radical Eepartnro. The Bostonians propose a radical de parture in their productions next season. Negotiations have been entered Into be tween Massenet, composer of "Esclar monde" and "La Navarraise" and Ma3 cagni, composer of "Cavalleria Rustl cana," for new operas on the lines of truo opera comique. This will be tho first time the Bostonians have ever sought foreign composers. W. H. MacDonald will sail for Europe on tho New York early in Juno to conclude arrangements. The manuscripts of two other light operas are already in Mr. MacDonald's possession. Louis AldrlcU and Stage Children, Louis Aldriob, the veteran actor and king pin of the Actors' fund of America, which has a good deal to do with stago children, says: "I agree thoroughly with Fanny Davenport when she decries the ex istence of stage children. I was a stage child myself. I used to play beforo I was 10 years old. Wo are wont to hear a great deal about those sweet faced little cherubs that are so happy in the fond appreciation of tho public, but, truth to tell, they are usually overworked in order to support grown up folk, and this does them perma nent injury." Modjeska'g Many Presents. Few actresses receive so many fine pres ents at holiday time as Mme. Modjeska. This year that great tragedienne has re ceived more than usual, and especially from Europe, whero she has so many ad mirers. President Faure of France sent her a magnificent emerald ring; M. Coque lin and Herr Barnay, the two famous actors of France and Germany, sent her, one a solid gold card case, the othor a solid silver make-up box. Other presents from prominent Americans were equally costly. ALL SORTS OF SPORTS. Walter Peet, who coached the Columbia college crew to victory last season, will not undertake the training of the crew of 1896. Henry Gale has been elected captain of the University of Chicago football team for 1896. He has played on the team sinco 1893. Denver Ed Smith says he will go to South Africa and arrange a finish fight with Joe Goddard, the Australian heavy weight. Bright Eyes, the young Dallas fighter, whoso fame is confined within the border lines of Texas, has won 20 contests and has never trained in his life. Tommy Ryan is now after champion ship honors. He desires to fight any mid dleweight in the world, bar Fitzsimmons. Ryan will fight at 154 pounds. A number of chainless wheels are being shown in Paris this winter, but only one of them is reported as showing evidence of practical value. This is a bevel gear ar rangement. Harold Hagen, the celebrated Norwegian flier, is coming to this country to try to srfrango a match with John S. Johnson or Joe Donoghue, should they care to turn professionals. Jaap Eden, the Dutch champion cyclist, has announced his intention of turning professional. Eden, like Johnson, is a skat er as well as a bicycle rider and a cham pion at both games. OAKLAND BARON'S GOOD RECORD. He Won More Money Than Any Other Trotter Last Season. The list of winners among the trotters of 1S95 is headed by game Oakland Baron, by Baron Wilkes.

MEDICiL MEN EXAMINE HIM For Evidence Tout He I a "Degen erate' r a Low Order of Intelli gence. Eleven of the third year students at the medical college, the senior claas, this morning made a scientific study of David Coulter, the accused murderer of Edward Ulaton. The examination waa made in a side cell of the jail under the direction of Dr. R. E. McVey and occupied about an hour and a quarter. Coulter submitted to the ordeal cheer fully. In fact, he was joked by the students into laughing almost aloud on two or three different occasions. At nrst, however, he refused to answer a que3 tion until he was assured that the men were medical students and not news caper reporters. "I don't want this all in the papers and makin' me out to know nuthm tie said. The object of the examination was to Bhow, or to find out, if Coulter and his family were not of a low order of Intel ligence. Questions as to the age of Coulter a parents ana similar inquiries were made, but nothing important re vealed. Measurement of the bones of the sub ject's head showed that most of them are normal, except that he has a receding forehead, He wears a 6; 3 hat. "Have you any pain in your head?" asked Dr. McVey. "Yes, here in my temples." replied Coulter, placing his band on top of his head. This seems to be one of the boy's peculiarities. He knows a lot of names, but is not able to connect them with what they have reference to. "Do you have pain here?" asked the doctor, placing his hand on Coulter's temples. "Yes, quite often; I have it there, too." "Do you have any defect in hearing?" "I haven't been able to hear well for five or six years, but that was caused by my taking so much medicine so much quinine." "This is a good point to note," said Dr. McVey to the students. Every deranged physical condition which was revealed was eagerly jotted down by them. The theory was that a man whose physical faculties are in bad condition cannot have very acute mentality. "How are your eye3?" asked the doc tor. "They are not strong, and they are sore part of the time." A small instrument, like a carpenter's ompass, was placed on the baud, arm and leg of Coulter to ascertain his sensi bility to touch. First one point and then both would be pressed against his skin, and he was to tell whether he felt one or two. The result of this was a disap pointment to the class, being the reverse of what they expected to find. He ex hibited the most acute sense of touch, and he never missed telling correctly how many points were touching him. "Sensibility is the basis of thought," re marked Dr. McVey. Coulter gave his age as eighteen, weight as 14U pounds, and height as five feet eight inches. He is not particularly slight, though he looks so. His muscles seemed to be quite hard as though thev had been used and developed. The accused murderer was tried on figures by the doctor. He named the tin its, tenths and hundredths columns, but said he did not know why they were o. Dr. McVey showed him some figures and writing ia a book and after it was closed Coulter told correctly what he bad seen, showing ihat he has memory and is not flighty. Whatever he sees makes due impression upon his facul ties. Once when the doctor said something amusing to Coulter he smiled broadlv, but only momentarily. "Thai's the only time I ever saw him smile," exclaimed Jailer Larry Sheehan. "I have said all the funny things I could think of to him, too," It teems that Sueehan'. wit is not THE EYES OF ALL ECONOMICAL PEOPLE ARE ANXIOUSLY SCANNING OUR AN NOUNCEMENTS DURING EYES WITH WONDER nen's $1.50 Every-dav Pants, Reduced to 50C Child's $2.50 Cape Ov ercoats, Reduced to $3.50 Boys' all Wool Suits, Reduced to f7.oo Long Pant Suits, Reduced to $4 blue Chinchilla Ree fer Coats, Reduced to Childs' $3 fancy Junior Suits, Reduced to 98C $1.98 $2.50 $1.98 $1.35 $1 Fine Percale Laundor- ed Waists, Reduced to 50 cent Fine Unlaundered Waists, Reduced to 1 AVE.

The doc tor said it was an inherited constitu tional defect. The normal poise of a strong healthy man is about 72. The temperature taken under the tongue was found to be normal, 93 and a fraction. "Do you like pets?" was one of the questions. "No, they ain't good for Tanything. Dogs are good for nothing and cats are worse. I like to kill does. It is a pleas ure for me to do it. I like cattle." "Do you have a good appetite?" "Well, not much of a one here," said Coulter, as he smiled faintly at his own wit. Lou Duncan, one of the students, who is quite proficient in sketching and draw ing, made a sketch of Coulter as he sat on the bed in the cell being examined. It was very good and Duncan will work it up. The matter which the students secured this morning will be discussed by them at the college and a cuueiusion as to Coulter a character arrived at. TO TKV A KKW JAIL. Gonrdala Will Go Mouth and Reside Un bind Oth.r Prison Hurs. The New Orleans detectives. R. S. Stubbs and John Littleton, left today for -Louisiana, with their prisoner, Louis A. Gourdain. The two months' sentence to the Shawnee county jail which Gour dain received from Judge Foster has ex pired and the dark skinned millionaire is wanted in New Orleans on numerous charges. Detective Stubbs was the one who planned the raids by the New Orleans polic on Gourdain's lottery office. Stubbs says he was not only running a lottery. but a "bogus" lottery at that. Gourdain was the onlv man who won. There were no prizss, ia reality. The detec five says the New Orleans chief of police has answered at least a thousand letters telling people who in vested that it was a fraud. After the raid the postoffice inspectors were immediately nounea and the result was that they apprehanded lottery tieir ets in Topeka, Cincinnati and many other plaoaa. Gourdain will have to answer all these charges ia turn of bav in? violated the postal laws besides the cases against him in New Orlaans, and it looks as if he is doomed to visit a great many different jails in the country. It will take him a long time to serve out the different jail sentences he will re ceive. KNIGHTS AND LADIES SUED. Don Xot Want to Pay the Iosnranoe on Cbarl.s Moes.r's Death. Mrs. Catherine Moeser has began suit in the aistrict court against the Knights ana ladies or security, f ne is suing on a certificate of $2,000 which her husband, Charles Moeser, the furniture dealer, held at the time of his death. Mr. Moeser had been a member of the order but a few days when he died. He joined on June 26, 1895, and his death came on July 10. The lodge claims that Moeaer misrepresented his age in order to get f 2,')00 worth of insurance. He Baid he was born on June 24. 1845, mak ing him 50 years old, while the lodge says he was older. By the laws of the order a man cannot take f 2,0u0 worth of insurance after he is past 50 years of age. LETTING OCT PRISONERS, Perhaps Some Are Rightfully Let Oat and Perhaps Some Are Not. Caleb Gilkie, colored, has been re leased from the couuty jail by the coun ty commissioners. Ha was being held for trial for being implicated with three other colored men in burglarizing Levi's tailor shop, but the state has no evidence against him except that he was arrested in Kansas City with the others. The three pleaded guilty and are now in the penitentiary, but before they went they all said that Gilkie was guiltless. The county commissioners ordered ilia re lease yesterday. the connty has had to keen Gilkie's family ever since he has been in jail. roou commissioner Hale has also asked the commissioners to release Martin Williams, the Shorey colored man who has a white wife.

It might be said here that it would be equally economical to the state to empty the penitentiary. Guard Kuykendall of the rock pile says Williams is the best worker he has, and thinks he could earn a good liveli hood if released. He is working out a fine and costs for drunkenness and fight ing. It is a question as to where the author ity of county commissioners stops in the matter of nullifying sentences of the courts. If the punishment of crime is worth anything, it is none of the county commissioners' business how much it "costs the county." NO FIRE FOK THEM. Three County Offleare Who Did Not Enjoy Themselves Today. Three county officers sat shivering at their desks this morning in the Office block.

IN CONGRESSMAN BAKER'S DISTRICT. Republicans Said to Be Promised to Gilkcson for Appellate Judge, Pro vided Democrats Will Vote for Ellis for Congress. "Anything to beat the Populists," is to be the Republican campaign cry in the Sixth congressional district in the com ing campaign according to the latest political story. This latest story was brought to Topeka by Judge A. D. Gilkeson of the western division of the northern department of the court of appeals. Judge Gilkeson is a Democrat, but was appointed to his present position by Gov ernor Morrill in accordance with the re quirements of the law creating the court which provided for the appointment of judges from the several political parties. According to this story Judge Gilkeson was recently waited on by some promi nent Sixth district Republicans who pro posed a deal whereby they would sup port Lim for re-election. They proposed that Judge Gilkeson be a candidate for re-election and that he would receive the support of all the Re publicans in the district providing he would deliver the Democratic votes in the Sixth district to A. U. Eilis the Re publican slate candidate for congress. Judge Gilkeson was assured that there would be ao trouble about Ellis being nominated for congress if he would but enter into the scheme to beip elect him. Judge Gilkeson is anxious to be re elected to the court of appeals judgeship, but he did not give a definite answer to the proposition for a Democratic-Republican fusion to bring that about. Ellis only lacked 194 votes of being elected to congress from that district two years ago, aud as the Democratic candi date received 2,934 votes, he no doubt now believes that it he could make a combination of that kind with Judge Gilkeson his election would be assured. There are about a half dozen talked of candidates for the Populist nomination for congress in the iixth district, but the men who are best acquainted with the workings of the party believe that Con- grenamaa William Baker will be renomi nated. BUKXOJJ'8 HOME OPPOSITION'. Two Republican Papers Oppose Elm While Anti-ilurton Clubi are Forming. E.nterphise, Jan. 24. The Republi can leaders of the county are opposed to J. R. Burton's candidacy for the United States senate, and it is believed that a Burton man for the legislature will surely be defeated, Hon. O. L. Thisler, present representative, was elected as a Burton man two years ago, but on a Bur ton platform the "bosses say he will be defeated for renomination in the county convention. In Abjigne, Burton's home town, and in other towns of the county there is talk of organizing anti-Burton clubs. Two leading Republican papers of the county will oppose him. ENGLISH RUll.Ntf MINES. A London Company Investing in Cripple Creek Property. Cripple Crkkk, Jan. 24. Raymond Eddy of London and J. Bader of Chi cago hre here. Negotiations are said to be pending for the purchase of the mines operated by the Guod Hope Mining com pany, in Pot Gulch and the Jasper tun nel site, south of the town of Victor and the O. P. H. B. tunnel on Raven hill. A claim and part of another located on Raven hill just 200 feet south of the Moose mine has already been purchased by Mr. Eddy for an English miniug com pany and R. S. Grant has received 40,000 in consideration" of the transfer. Messrs. Eddy and Bader have been ex amining into the Crippie Creek district for the past ten days. Mr. Eddy is an expert mining engineer employed by an English syndicate in which his brother is heavily interested. It is America's greatest gold camp," was the way .Mr. Eddy commenced talk ing about it yesterday. "I have been sent to Johannesburg, in the Transvaal republic, to South Africa and Western Australia, and I can truly say that these camps do not begin to compare with it. la Johannesburg the people are wild over ore that runs about $4 a ton. They would be dumbfounded to see the hills in Cripple Creek that contain ore that carries value ranging between f 4 and $100 per ton. The Climax mine, which adjoins the remarkable Ironclad, has made a won derfully rich strike. Pour carloads of high grade ore have been shipped, three to the extraction works at Florence and one to the Argo smelter at Denver. The average ore content of this rock is $l,0o0 to the ton. The Cripple Creek -Mutual Mining company has just finished the survey on thirteen claims on the west slope of Mount Pisgah. A number of granite quartz dykes from ten to thirty feet wide cut through this section of the country, and surface assays show values from $5 to $15. TO RACE A TRAIN. Six Men on a Sextuple Will "Try" the Empire Express. New York, Jan. 24, Among the" more interesting exhibits at the bicycle expo sition this week, is a splendid specimen of the sextuple road machine. This particular machine, which weighs about 150 poands, and is geared to 152 is to figureiu the decision of a wager, that has been' made during the week between cartaiu exhibitors ia the garden. The maker and some of his friends have bet a large sum of money that they can select a crew of six men who can beat the empire express train on the New York Central railroad in a run of a half mile. The attempt is to be made some time in May. A level stretch of about three miles along the railroad track will be selected and carefully laid out, track fashion to a width of five feet, and some tine day, when the engineer of the train least expects it, the sextup le will start on its task, of course, with a flying start.

Standing collars, finished at the top with square tabs, which are turned down, are very fashionable and are seen on many costumes. They are made of the material that trim the gown, be it velvet or silk, and sometimes are seen even of the stuff of the gown itself. The tabs are trimmed with embroidery, narrow lace or fine gal loon or are left plain. They must be lined with stiffening more or less rigid, accord- 1 v r irn- nri in"". ..gjwigy-)1 1 11 t EVENING COSTUME. Ing to the goods of which they are made, and it is necessary to sew a fine wire around the edge to keep them in position. The high medioi collars, so much em ployed for jackets and wraps, require to be sustained in the same manner. Other wise they lose their shape and become crooked and limp. The bows, choux and flower tufts which wero worn on each side of draped collars last year are no longer seen. The fash ionable draped collar has coques or a large bow at tho back, and the only other orna ment is a pin or buckle in the middle of tho front, unless there is trimming around the top, such as a narrow rucho or turned down points of lace. Close collars of metal galloon are n feature of the season and aro very effective. All close collars which are made separate from the bodice need to be tacked to it front and back to keep them in place. If they aro not thus se cured, they are almost sure to slip to one side or rise above the plain collar under neath. Ostrich tips aro much used for decorat ing evening bodices. A cluster is usually placed on one shoulder, the other having a bow of ribbon or a few flowers. Feather boas of delicate tints are also worn with evening dress, being thrown around the neck between dances. They are prettier than the light shawls formerly employed for ballroom wraps, but afford far less protection. The sketch shows an evening gown in gold colored broche silk. The skirt has a long train and is edged by a lino of velvet pansios. The tablier is framed by two plaited panols of laco embroidored with gold. The bodice. has two lace draperies in front and a round, flat bertha of broche silk, which passes over the top of tho arms and forms the only sleeve. The round decolletage is bordered with pansies. Pan sies are also placed at the front of the belt, falling upon the skirt. Judic Chollkt. HOME DRESSMAKING. Some Hints About Making Bodices How to Cut and Raste. In cutting out the pieces of a bodice it should be remembered that the waist line should always ran with the cross thread of the goods unless the garment is to be made of bias material, as sometimes in the case of plaids. Gathered and draped bodices are made over a carefully fitted lining, the seams of which, except on the shoulder and under the arm, are sewed before the outside goods ore arranged upon it. Where chiffon or DHWEB BODICE, other sneer material is to be draped over silk the silk bodice is completed first, be ing lined and fitted and completely sewed, and the chiffon is afterward applied. Too large a needle is often used for ma chine stitching. This cuts the lining and makes a conspicuous seam. A fine needle Is to be preferred, and the seams of a bodice should be stitched with sewing silk, Instead of cotton. All seam must be carefully basted be fore they are sewed. A skillful dress maker knows that the perfection of a bodice depends largely upon the basting not only of the seams, but of the lining to the outside goods. The lining must al ways be a trifle fuller than the outside, so that the latter will be stretched a little. This obviates wrinkles. A strong and nonelastio lining should be used, but it must be thin and not stiff. Silk is of course the best, but percaline of tho best quality is also good. Silesia is so apt to stretch that it is unreliable and should not be used. Stiff, thick whalebone ought. never to be employed, for it is intractable and adds considerably to the size of the waist. Very thin, flexible bono is the only kind that will give a satisfactory effect, and each piece of that should be scraped thin at the ends and rounded off. Before the bones ore covered a holo should be pierced near each end with a hot needle, this hole serv ing as a means of securing the bone firmly. It is better to burn the hole, because sew ing through the bone in the ordinary way is apt to split it. An illustration is given of a dinner bodice of velvet, with a cashmere pattern. It is gathered at the waist bohind, the front being full and crossed and fastened ut the waist by a pearl buckle over a coque of ribbon. The decolletage is square be hind j2j4 iE frosi SB'S a band of chinchilla passes over the shoulders and across the back.

SUTTON'S TYPE WRITER If the Judge Had Gone On flitch Longer HIS FELLOW BOARD HEHBEES Would Have Mobbed Him-Bnt He Finally fame Back to Intelligibil ityAnd the Band Played On. Judge Sutton, secretary of the board of irrigation, was really in a bad way yesterday. Today he is happy. It all came about through the judge's avowed and expressed need of a type writer with which to get out his report and his correspondence. N "I must have a typewriter," said he at yesterday's meeting. The one I now have I am tired of. A very fair one at first and very pretty but entirely inade quate to the work now. "She was a beauty when I first got her," continued the secretary with a recollective sigh as he twirled his cigar; "and did her work nicely. But she's getting old and looks like the deuce." This brought forth a look of pained surprise and horror from Judge Frost, who knows that Judge Sutton is a quiet, respectable married man. "Yea," went on the secretary. "I find she is getting shaky and loose in parts and does not line up well at all." Young Mr. Tomblin, from Goodlaud, was ready to faint at this outbreak. "aha has about broken me up buying ribbons for her, and her carriage is not what it ought to be," continued the com plainant Both the other gentlemen of the board had by this time lost entire faith in Judge Sutton's honesty or his sanity, but were too horrified to break the spell. Judge Sutton looked calmly and thonghtfully at his cigar. "Yes." he resumed, "ishe's getting old, and I notice that the enamel has been knocked off her in a good many places. Her key board, too That broke the spell. "Oh, thunder," said Judge Frost, "and Mr. Tomblin coming to! We thought you were talking about a woman. Of course you can have a typewriter." And that's how it is that Judge Sutton will have a new typewriting machine with which to get ready the irrigation board's first annual re Dor t. IRRIGATION HOARD'S REPORT. No Money to Get Oat the Expected 10, OOO Copley The Kansas state board of irrigation is lying awake just now wondering how it is going to get the records of its work of the past year before the people. A month ago the Loard at a meeting here decided that it would issue a report in the form of a pamphlet of perhaps 150 pages and make the issue 10,000 copies. All this arrangement was spoiled yes terday when two members of the print ing board said unofficially that the board had not enough money to print tho re port. The printing board consists of Attor ney General Dawes, Treasurer Atherton and Secretary of State Edwards. Mr. Edwards is out of the city but the two other members told the irrigation com mission that it had more reports to issue this year than ever, aud less money to issue them with. In the face of this the irrigation com mission feels that people who are inter ested in irrigation as a means of saving western Kansas are more than entitled to the report and will see if it cannot take the money out of its own appropriation if it cannot be printed otherwise. It will cost about foul) to priut 10,000 copies of the report. THOSE. STATE IRRIGATION WELLS. Eleven of Them Are Worklns Successful ly in Western Kansas. Thirteen wells have been located by the board of irrigation in the first year of its existence. Of these, eleven are in most successful operation. One at Tribune in Greeley county where shale was struck and another at Wakeeney in Trego county are still in progress as the first attempts were not successful. Both of these wells are iu Judge Sut ton's third of the western half of Kansas. He has very successfuLwells at Leoti in Wichita county and arDightea iu Lane county. Mr. Tomblin, of the board, has a well each at McDonald, in Rawlins county, at Plainville, in Hooks county, and at Good land, in Sherman county, all of them successes. Judge Frost has five wells located, one at Kendall, in Hamilton county, and another in the highlands at lJodge City, in Ford county. Near Cimarron, iu Gray- county, Judge Frost has a well that gives an inexhaustible supply of water from a depth of 61 feet. The deepest well among those sunk by the stare is at Santa Fe, in Haskell county, which has a depth of 281 feet. At Ulysses, in Grant county, on the highlands between the two Cimarron rivers, au inexhausl able supply of water was found at a depth of 231 feet. One of the most surprising testa was made by Judge Frost just north of Gar den City last week. It was an artesian well test. A two inch pipe was sank to a depth of ninety feet and in a sunk hole four feet below the surface Sowed of its own volition four feet of water per min ute. Judge Frost added to it a four foot pipe and with a centrifugal pump suc ceeded in getting a flow of twenty -two gallons per minute from the same pipe. In some places the water underflow is enormous. In Wichita county at the well near Leoti the thickness of the vein of water was sixty-one feet. At the well in Trego county the thickness was but six feet. TRET HAVE $15,000 LEFT, Half tbe Appropriation For Irrigation 1'lauis still Unexpended. The state irrigation board has passed the first year of its two years of official existence, and still has about half of its appropriation of $39,000 left, though nearly two thirds of the work assigned has been done. The board was to originally locate and put in active operation twenty experi ment stations in the western half of the state. Thirteen of these stations have been located, eleven of which are complete successes, extensive meas urements have been made regarding the water supply, surface storm and under flow with the aid of the United States geological survey, the three members of the board have been paid their yearly sal ary off 1,000 each aad actually paid ex- r ijrr 'Well, I'll be derned! If this pensesand their still remains nearly 915,000 to the credit of the commission. "The cost of establishing the thirteen wells has been enormous to us," said Judee Frost president of the board, "We have been compelled to pay twice as much as a private person would for the same things. Everyone seems to consider it his right and duty to 'hog' the state at every opportunity. The wells have cost the hoard in the neigh borhood of $600 each. I suppose an in dividual could have the same wells put in at an average expense of $300 or $400. The bill says we shall hire all work doue by the people who live in the locality of the well. Of course the home people are inexperienced, haven't the necessary machinery, and are not afraid to charge because it is the state. "As a raising power we have used windmills and the windmill companies say they don't feel like making the statu a present of anything. "We estimate officially that a western Kansas farmer can irrigate profitably from ten to twenty acres with one well, no matter how far he has to go down for his water, and the plant will not cost him over $500 and in some cases not more than $200. WESTERN KANSAS WATERY WEALTH Scientiue Tests Made to Prove How Much Water There i There Yearly. One of the very best things done by the state irrigation commission in its first year just closed was the test of the water supply of Western Kansas. It was most satisfactory and the actual tests surpassed the wildest calculations of the most enthusiastic irrigationists, and there seems no reason why Western Kansas will not soon become under the wand of irrigation more prolific than the eastern counties of tbe state that have in the past been inclined to look pityingly on their western sisters and their regular yearly crop failures. Enough water' flows out of western Kansas in her rivers every year to irri gate alone a large portion of the territory that has been known as arid. The board early secured an agreement with the United States geological survey whereby the government furnished all the necessary appliances and located stations for the measurement of the water that flows out of the state through the Solomon, Saline, Smoky Hill, Arkan sas, Cimarron and Republican rivers. The board furnished a man to take records at each station. It was found that in the five months from April 1st to September 1st, theBe rivers carried off enough water to cover 1,200,000 acres to the depth of one foot or irrigate successfully for an entire eeason 120,000 acres of arid land. Prof. Hayworth of the Kansas State University was associated as an advisory member.of tbe-board with the govern ment survey in the measurements of the available water supply and of tbe areas susceptible to irrigation,' aud it is the official estimate that fifty-five per cent of the land of western Kansas could be suc cessfully irrigated if the underflow, the river flow aud the storm waters were all utilized. The highest estimate ever made before was by Prof. Powell when he was direc tor of the geological survey He esti mated that ten per cent of the land could be successfully irrigated. The government reports read that in California only three-tenths of one per cent of the land is susceptible to irriga tion. The deduction is that if with that small percentage California can support so many people what can Kansas do with 180 limes as much. The Kansas irrigation board is trying to get congress interested in Kansas irri gation and the state delegation there is now seeking to bring about that end with a liberal appropriation. The board hopes for $100,000, Tlie North Pole. Curios from the Arctic region now on display in Crosby Bros.' show window. Lecture of Prof. Dyche this evening, 24.

A Beautiful Thing for Decoratlne a Win dow or a House. j The hanging fernery is a very pretty and rather curious horticultural nov elty. The idea was conceived by a Cal ifornia woman, and her idea proved such a bappy one that she has reaped quite a financial harvest selling them. Only a few have found their way to the east, however, brought back by tour ists. The foundation of the hanging fernery is a tcrra-cotta pot as nearly round as can be secured. Over this ia enOWTJSG THE MOSS A5D WET. placed a mat of moss, ferns and roots.' This is held around the pot with a wiro net, to which is also fastened a wire by which to hang the moss. The hanging ferneries can be made any size or shape required, and of all the smaller varieties of ferns, such as maidenhair. Once started they are per manent if never allowed to become dry. These ferneries have remained green, through summer and winter, putting out young fronds all the time, it being only necessary to remove the old ones IS HOW THE WATER IS SUPPLIED. as they fade. For table decoration they are lovely and can be suspended i mm t-handpliers or from stands made to support them, only, if gas is used, they should be removed immediately after meals to a more congenial atmoa- phere. The water seeping through the porous vessel drops slowly from time to time; hence it is necessary to keep growing plants or some vessel under neath to receive the water, or the fern ball can be emptied before placing over the table and filled again as soon as the meal is over, and placed where the dropping: will do no damage. In green houses, windows and for almost any v f house or veranda decoration they ase very beautiful, and the small amount of care and attention they require is a great advantage.

Pad A WEDDING PARTY. Grdon la a primeval settlement noted throughout middle Georgia) for- its proliflo yield of peaches, its pigeons and its razor back hogs. The peach crop and Its shipment canse a stir in early summer. The pigeons have nested and brooded there from the time of the falling of the stars, so the old women Of the place declare, and they have well established their right of priority by occu pying the eaves of the dilapidated stores and dwelling houses, on the roofs of which they parade in pomp for the benefit of the passengers whenever a train appears. The bearded and begrimed engineer who puffs through the town twice a day is au thority for the statement that the razor back hogs are so trained that they spend the morning about the schoolhouse, a milt distant from the station, where- they de vour the residue of numerous lunch bos kets, and at the blowing of his whistle dash through the woods to meet the train and consume the peach peelings thrown from the car windows. But there are other productions In Gor don mure notable than pigs, peaohes and pigeons. Some days ago the old engineer came to a stand at this station. A shrill voiced conductor squalled, "All aboard 1" The car door opened slowly, and a woman, holding an infant in tight grasp, entered, followed by a middle aged man and a young fellow of the country swain variety. The woman had on a dress of checked homespun, buttoned to a painful degre about her obese body, and a nondeseript hat, covered over with tho crimson tipped wings of blackbirds. She was puffing from the excitement of the occasion and the exavclse of a long walk, while the baby bawled and made furious efforts to pull handf uls of hair from its mother's head. The man gazed vacantly about him and threw himself, with a jerk, beside the, woman, which, for an instant, stopped tht bellowing of the babe. The young fellow had ambled up and stood in the aisle with an air of uncertain deliberation. He decided suddenly to scat himself, moved my valiso testingly, looked up timidly and fell into the seat. I had an opportunity of noticing him closely. He wore a new pair of blue jeans trousers that were scarcely long enough to hide hii flaming red socks, blazing out in bold re lief above his creaking brogans, likewiss new. His ill fitting ooat was in color a dingy brown. This was unbuttoned and disclosed an unbleached, unstarched shirt. His long hair was saturated with watei and seemed to sparkle with frequent ap plications of pomade. His physiognomy was rather extenuated. The chin shot out at an abrupt angle and tapered off to a point, bedecked with a scanty ridge of down that had never known the invasion of steel. His nose was almost parallel to the tihin. It had been the shining mark for the mid summer sun and had suffered surface abrasion that morning when he sorubbed his countenance. But, more conspicuous than all, Was the peculiar dilation of his cheek that told of the wad of tobacco upon which he m inched. His lips were yellow stained, and the wrinkles about the cornel of his mouth formed miniature aqueducts for conducting the juioe to his shirt collar. When the train was good under way, the old man turned: "Better come up this way, Bud, an set down by yer ma an me." "Ruther sit back here, wharlkin spit," responded the young fellow, firing the liquid contents of his mouth into the cus pidor. "Waal, I lac' ter know ef yer can't spit outen this here window. Ain't no law 'ginst it, is tharf An bein as you're goin ter marry, yor ma an me'd lac' ter see sumpen of yer fo' you an Nancy gits tied together, 'cause we ain't er countin much on seein yer whin yer gits ter livin over thar at oie man Scroggins'." This argument was effective, and the fellow moved up several seats. It was evident from the snatches of conversation oaugbt amid the rumbling of the cars that the young man was destined to be married that day, and that he expected to rnsko his home with his bride's parents. "Pa, I wants yer to send ole Sue over termorrow. That's the bes' plowin critter I ever drew the line over, an ef me an Nancy's got to make a livin ole Sue'll have to be thar to help us out." A laconic grunt was the reply. "An don't fergit ter send over that thar shotgun of mine. I seed a whole passlo er squirrils over thar in Scroggins' wood las' week, an they're jist natcherly ichin fer shot. Thet's what! I 'spec' I kin git a dog over thnr at Nancy's, an yer needn't bother yersolf 'bout sendin my ole hound dog 'long. She ain't fittin fer nuthin but ter scratch fleas an eat grub. That's What!" For some miles there was dreary silence. The old woman relapsed into a state of somnolent satisfaction and punctuated her dreaming with sudden nods and resultant snorts, while the- baby still tugged with her hair. The old man gazed out at the scudding cotton crops, and the prospective groom munched his tobaceo and ruminated upon marital responsibilities. Suddenly the engine shrieked for the next stop. The effect was instantaneous. The young man ceased to chew and pushed his head from the car window. The wom an woke up with a start, gave the baby a savage slap, which brought all its lung power into action, while the old man started toward the door in a run. "Thar she is I Thar's Nancy an her ma an ole man Scroggins I" he yelled back. "Hellu folks! How'dy, now'dy! Here's Bud in here cocked an primed fer marry in!" The train had come to a stop at what appeared to be a crossroads station. Sev eral wagon teams were standing under the live oaks hard by.. In one of these wagons, all alone, was seated a girl of 19, arrayed in a neat red calico dress and a green checked sunbonnot, beneath which was a comely countenance, radiant with smiles. These smiles expanded as she saw the young man jump from the car and rush toward her. His only salutation was a series of violent kisses, which she pretend ed to resent. He reached out for the reins and' wished to drive. She refused. "Better let me handle these lines till we git to the church, Bud. You ain't use to these mules." The train was speeding away again, anil the wedding procession was left winding Its way to church. ""That's what I calls 'bullet proof and happiness, and lots of it," said the con ductor, waving his well wishes from the rear platform. I agreed with him. A. C. Newell In Atlanta Constitution.

That seems rather a misleading phrase, as it might imply a stay of several days duration. But it is good form to say it, nevertheless. Another dictum of the smart set is that more than two people should never pay visits together. If there are, for instance, three unmarried sisters in society, or a mother has two unmarried daughters," the three must divide their forces in some way, but they must no descend upon a friend's drawing-room at once. s HB J8963H HIS KBl.J"!llll.fll!!i:"

Th"e $50,000 case of Marshall versus the Keeley com pany of Dwight, on trial before Judge Tipton, was resumed today. Marshall claims damages on account of his wife, who went to Dwight to be treated for the morphine habit in June, 1892, and was taken away a few weeks later, it is declared, in a straight jacket, a raving maniac, and has since that time been in the Elgin asylum for incurables. Dr. Orner of Bloomington, an expert wit ness for Marshall, swore that the insan ity, was caused by the belladonna given by Dr. Bronghton of the Keeley com pany in treating Mrs. Marshall. Dr. John Broughton, the chemist and one of the owners of the Keeley company, de clined on the stand to disclose the nature of the remedies administered to Mrs. Marshall on the ground that they were the private discovery of Dr. Keeley.

A handsome souvenir programme has been issued for the eleventh annual con cert of Marshall's band. It contains about fifteen pictures, with a write-up of the band and comments of metropolitan papers. Some of the pictures are snap shots taken by George M. Seward.

If the case is not ad vanced Judge Valentine thinks that it can be reached next November. Mr. Doran has gone to Pennsylvania and will return next week. UP FROM THE SOUTH. The Old Liberty Bell Will Leave At lanta With Ceremony. Atlanta, Jan. 24, On the last day of this month Liberty bell will leave for its old home in Independence hall, Phila delphia. It will' return over the South ern and Pennsylvania railroads and on the way the dear, precious relic, the symbol of liberty, will slop and be view ed by the people. On the 30th the bell will be moved from the exposition grounds to the union depot, where it will be placed on its special car ready for traveling the next morning. The military of the city will probably escort the bell from the exposition grounds to the city. It will be delivered to the Philadelphia com mittee in appropriate ceremonies.

NO MORE WINE OR CIGARS On Special tars of Officials Santa Fe iT THE EXPENSE OF THE ROAD Is Said to Be the Parport or a Recent Order by President Ktpley Eeon- omy In Every Branch Is the Motto. President E. P. Ripley of the Santa Fa has evidently become impressed with the idea that the road io futnre must be run on an economical basis, and has already commenced the work of cutting expenses in various ways. The reduction of train service between Chicago and Kansas City is undoubtedly his suggestion, and the late order cutting the time in all branches of the mechanical department to eight hours, probably originated with him. It is understood that an order has been issued by the president to the favored higher officials, who have the honor of riding in private cars, to the effect that strictest economy must be observed in the use of these cars, and that under no consideration can they be made use of on any occasion except that of business. It is said that this order also states that all incidentals, which materially aid in the luxury of traveling in private cars, such as delicacies, wine, champagne, havanas, etc, are to be dis pensed with altogether, or paid for out of the private income of the officials. This means that in future they cannot be classed in the supplies of the cars furnished by the company. The order further states that friends of officials ho accompany them on their private cars must pay for their board while on the car. SANTA FE TRAINS TAKEN OFF. Not 5 and 6 Ent of Kama City to lie Dis continued. The most important change made in the arraugement of the new Santa Fe time card will be the discontinuance of trains Na 5 and 6 between Chicago and Kansas City. After the new time card goes into effect these trains will run only between Kansas City and Denver and Galveston. California and Chicago limited trains 3 and 4 will continue to run between Chi cago and Los Angeles as solid vestibuled trains, gas lighted, with dining cars at tached and will leave the terminal points on the same schedule time as ut present The Denver sleeper of train No. 6 will be attached to train No. 4, either at New ton or Topeka, and will be run through to Chicago. Out of Chicago it will be at tached to train No. 3 and run to Kan saa City, where it will be made up in train No. 5. The Galveston sleeper will only run to Kansas City. As trains 3 and 4 will now do all the night work between Chicago and Kansas City, the running time between those points will be lengthened on account of the stops which it will be necessary to make. No. 3 will leave Chicago at 6 p. m., the same as at present, and arrive in Kansas City at 9:45 a. m., 45 minutes later. No. 4 will leave Kansas City at 6 p. m. instead of 5:35, and will arrive in Chicago at 10:45 a. m. instead of 8:30. The speed of train No. 6 is to bo quickened, and it will run on about the same schedule time as No. 3, running from Denver to Kansas City in one hour less than at present. Train No. 5 will run between these two points in fifty minutes less. California trains 1 and 2 will remain as at present, consuming fifteen hours between Kausas City and Chicago. No. 2 is the only daylight train on any line between Kansas City and Chicago which makes connections eastbound from Chi cago. foreman McDonald surprised. A Party in Santa Fa Circles That Was Highly I2iiJ--yed. Mr. E. J. McDonald, foreman of the Santa Fe water service department, was very agreeably surprised at his Home last evening by a number of employes of his department presenting him with a beautiful parlor suite ot five pieces of finely upholstered furniture. Yesterday afternoon the furnitnre was delivered at Mr. McDonald's home, much to the amazement of Mrs. McDonald who protested to the delivery man that there was some mistake, as she knew it had not been ordered. The deliveryman was just as sure, how ever, that he had the right location, and deposited the furniture in the cozy par lor. When Mr. McDonald returned to his borne from his work he was as much sur prised as his wife had been, and could give no explanaticr Their wonder was of short duration, however, as shortly after supper A. Leslie and wife, James McRoberts and James O'Brien called and explained that the boys in the water ser vice department had taken this method of showing their appreciation and re gard for the uniform kindness and courte ous treatment he had always shown them. Those who contributed to the hand some testimonial were: A. Leslie and James McRoberts, Topeka; S. B. Evans, Holliduy; F. C. Haney, Edgerton; J. Knowles, Melvern; G. W. Cravens, Mad ison; V. L. Ferris, Reading; James O'Brien, Bnrlingame; E. DevaJ, Osage City; J. N. Piazzek. Valley Falls. Mr. McDonald has been in the water service department of the Santa Fe for the past fifteen years, and has held the position of foreman for sever! years. OFFICIALS AND EMPLOYES. Personal Notes About Tliem of Interest to Railroad People. Harry Cook of the auditor of freight receipts' office of the Santa Fe is confin ed to his home by illness. The Santa Fe has opened a new tele graph station at Greeley, Colorado, and has appointed Ola Nelson agent and operator. Trainmaster H. A. Tice of this city, in company with his wife, left yesterday afternoon for Chicago for the purpose of attending a. banquet given by the alumni of the Wisconsin State university in that city today. A. Torrence of the auditor of freight receipts' office of the Santa Fe, is unable to be at work on account of illness. J. R. Graham, division freight agent of the Rock Island at Des Moines, Iowa, passed through Topeka yesterday in company with his family en route to San Antonio, Texas, where they will visit for several weeks. W. C. Peyton, formerly an employe in the office of the superintendent of ma chinery of the Santa Fe in this city, but for the past seven years chief clerk in the office of the master mechanic at Fort Madison, Iowa, was married "Tuesday in Chicago, Illinois. His former fellow em ployes regard it as strange that after withstanding the pleasures of married life for forty-five years, he at last suc cumbed. Rock Island private car No. 200, in tended for the use of the officials of that road in this city, has arrived in Topeka from the Horton shops, where it has been for several weeks past. The car was originally built for a pay car, and was used in that capacity for several years. It has been thoroughly over hauled and repaired, and the interior has been remodeled in the style and arrange ment of an improved special OVER THE LIN ES. Interesting Items l'rom the Different De partments of the Railroads. The receipts of the Santa Fe at St. John, Kan., during the past year amount ed to $38,400. William Carrell of Pittsburg, a veteran engineer of the Frisco, has returned to work after an illness of four months. Engineer Sam Jackson of the middle division of the Santa Fe was married Monday last to Mis3 Emma Matthews of Nickersoa. Mr. and Mrs, Jackson will make their home in Nickerson. On account of the failure so far of the Kansas ice crop, the Santa Fe is shipping large quantities of manufactured ice from Las Vegas, New Mexico, and stor ing it in the ice houses along the line in this state. At present there are 212 men employed by the Santa Fe at Wellington, Kan., and the monthly income is estimated at from $12,000 to $15,000. Santa Fe Conductor Chas. Coggeshall, who is well known over this state, has quit railroading, and will now travel in the interest of a truck for loading and unloading baggage, of which he is the inveutor. Work has been resumed at the coal mines at South McAlester, Krebs and other points in the Indian Territory, and the coal traffic on the Choctaw division is at present very heavy. Four engine crews have been temporarily transferred from Parson?, Kan., to this division. From a letter written by general man ager B. F. Yoakum of the G. C. S. F., it teems that the Santa Fe is in favor of the proposition to build a union depot at Fort Worth, Texa3 provided certain conditions be observed. The two most important conditions involved is, that the new building be located on the west side of all the tracts, and that it be con structed by a joint union depot com pany. The richest "peanut" in the west is John Murphy of Newton, Kansas. He is 40 years old and owns a handsome home, bouses and lots, farms and other property. Ho is said to be worth more than $50,000 all made in the last fifteen years by the sale of peanuts, apples, pa pers and books on the Santa Fe railroad which runs from Newton south through Oklahoma. When this road was opened fifteen years ago Murphy ran on it as a "peanut." He has stuck to it ever Eince and caters to the passengers aa persist ently now with his books and red apples as he did when he first went into tLs business. SHOPS AND BOCXDBOCSE.

On one occasion the chancellor called in a young physician who, indif ferent to his patient's rank and prestige, coolly proceeded to put him through an exhaustive professional examination. Bismarck became impatient and final ly declared he would not answer anoth er question. "Very well," calmly replied the doc tor, "if you do not want to be question ed, yon had better send for a veterinary. He is accustomed to treat bis patients without requiring answers from them to any questions." The audacity of the young doctor caused the chancellor to remain dumb for a moment. Then he grimly said, "If you are as skillful as you are imperti nent, young man, you must be a great physician." London Million. Would Accept Hlanks. A rural visitor at a Fourth avenue restaurant the other day had his first ex perience with waffles. He had stumbled upon them, somehow, in the bill of fare and seemed to be overjoyed with the flavor of the novel edible. So great was his power of waffle consumption that he kept his waiter at a lively pace between his table and the kitchen. Kven then the waf3es didn't come fast enough to keep up with his appetite, and he made this helpful suggestion to the waiter: "Say, mister, bring along them cakes a little faBter, can't yon?

Mrs. Henrotin ia in St. Louis attending the state conference of women a clubs. In connection with the work she said: "Women and men have radically dif ferent ideas of practical politics. lo a man practical politics means attachment ;o some party, ana according support to it under all conditions ana cir cumstances. To women practical politics means clean streets, proper enforcemt of municipal regulations, the administration of law with a view to se curing the benefits intended. Woman look at the results accomplished us the material point in politics. The federa tion of women's clubs aim3 to secure political results by divesting such ques tions of the glamor of partisanship and directing every energy to their actual ac complishment. 'As to woman suffarage, we make no declaration, as we include both those who favor and oppose it Personally I am a woman suffragist, but suffrage is not nec essary to the promulgation of our ideas. 1 am sure that the ballot will eventually be placed in the woman's hand to use as she sees fit.

Ques tions of policy have to be referred tuere. In many ways the American Army ia made to' feel that it is still under the English yoke.
