PRICE ONE CENtT H AUGUST BELMONT RESIGNS. I TROUBLE AMONG THE DIRECTORS OP THE AMERICAN JOCKEX CLUB. Judge Monson, Who lint linen Treasurer tsr Twenty-three Years, the Bone of Con- tenlten Mr. Belmont Hold the Villa Bide Association Responsible An liflbrt to Id dote Sir. Belmont to Itemaln President. Members of the American Jockey Olub are in a state of anything but mild excitoment over the resignation of Banker August Bel mont as President and Dirocjor, and tho im- pending resignations of Judge Alonzo 0. Monson, Treasurer, and L. L. Withers, di rector. The meeting at which President Belmont resigned was held on Wednesday ovening at the club-room on Madison avenuo. Tho pro ceedings wore unusually animated, but much reticence is maintained as to what was done and said. It is knows, however, that August Bel j rnont, Alonzo 0. Monson, William A. Duer, Leonard W. Jerome and John Hunter were elected directors, and that in consoqugnco of what subsequently happened Sir. Belmont promptly tendered his resignation. Judgo Monson and Mr. Witters also threatened to resign. Mr. August Belmont was found by a Wqbi.d reporter in his Wall stroet office this morning. It is truo I have resigned the Presidency I of the Amorican Jockey Olub which I havo hold for tho past twenty-two years," he said. It is also truo that owing to the composi tion of tho now Board of Directors Judgo Monson, who has boen trcasuror sinco tho club was formed, may also havo to retire. I wish to Bay that I appointed the present directors myself under a proxy which I hold as President of tho club. All tho flvo wero mombers of the old board except Mr. William A. Duer, who was appointed in the placo of 'M his doceased father-in-law, William It. Travers. M Tho reason why I resigned is that tho Jeromo Park Villa Sido Association, of whom the Amorican Jockey Club leases Jeromo Park, had for some time past urged npou mo their desire and determination to have a new Treasurer in the place of Judge Monson, and as I thought that this wns an unknown and ungenerous treatment of Judge Monson, I would not consent to his being forced out. "Mr. Monson had givod his services for over twenty years to tho American Jockey Club without pay, and without him I do not think the club would have been able to livo through the law against betting on the raco courso, which was iuforced against that club while betting w as permitted at tho Coney Island, Saratoga and othorraco-coursesin the State. The villa sido gentlemon said Judge Munson was not coucialiatory and amiable enpugh and seemed determined to overthrow him. Mr. Lconaad Jerome, Mr, Hunter and Mr. William A. Duer now form a majority of the directorate against Judgo Munson.. and I hear that he will resign, 1 think Mr. Withers will also retire. I do not know who will bo the new Pres ident or tho new Treasurer. It will bo hard for them to get as good a Treasurer as Mr. Monson has been." Mr. Leonard Jerome is in Europe, and at Mr. Withers's houso Tnr. World reporter was told that gentleman was also out of town. Sir. William A. Duer was seen at his office in the Boreol building. Ho was very non committal in regard to the club difficulty, 1 and said he did not want to bo interviewed. When Mr. Belmont's statement was read to him, however, he denied having any personal feeling against Judge Monson. That gentle man had been a good treasurer, but ho had held the office twenty-three years and a change was felt to bo necessary. Bio regretted Mr. August Belmont's retire ment but said that gentleman seemed to want to go, aud he knew his own mind best. He did not know who would bo elected President nnd Treasurer in place of the retiring officers. No mention of Mr. Belmont's offered resig nation appears on tho club minutes of Wednes day's meeting, and it is said that efforts are being made to induce Mr. Belmont to with draw it, 1 Athlete Aninoe Tbelr Friends.

Funeral Procession Ocenslonally Developed Into a Jack Babbit Chaso. (JVom tin Kama) HIV rfm.l Many of tho border burials were pathctlo in the extremo, but connoctod with somo of thorn were circumstances so unexpected that their relating almost resolves itself into a kind of humor. One of the first funerals to occur at Great Bend, Kan., possessed unpre cedented circumstances enough to make it humorous, if the unexpected is an attributo of humor. An old and somewhat disliked man, Henry Turlev by name, had been confined to his bed for soveral weeks by a diseaso which baffled the skill of tho would-be physioians who attended him. Ho seemed to grow steadily worso, and his death was hourly ex pected. Then tho cold weather, which had continued for nearly a month, was broken by a few spring-like days. Tho citizens of the littlo settlement took Turloy's caso in haud and decided that, as his death was certain to ocour in a few days at most, it was hotter to take advantage o'f tho mild woathor and dig a grave for him than to await his death and tho probable return of cold weather when grave-digging would oxtremoly difficult. The ?rave was accordingly dug, Turloy was so till of wrath at hoving his grave prepared that he rose from his bed, and tho same day left town in disgust. It appeared that ho had been shamming all the time in order to obtain free victuals and care. Regrots wero expressed that ho had not been buried with out waiting for tho usual preliminary of death. The pleasant weather was soon followed by a sovero storm of snow and sleet. During tho first night of the blizzard a bibulously in clined attorney, Godfrey by name, boing, as was his wont, in an advanced state of intox ication, lay out all night in tho snow. Two days later he died from the effects of his freezing. His relatives wore telegraphed to, and re sponded that thoy would oomo immediately. The storm increased in violence and, lasting nearly a week, blocked the avenues of travel in overy direction. A few days after Godfroy's death nearly the entiro male population of the settlement congrogatod at tho combined poBt-offlco. saloon, grocery, tc, to swap stories, eat crackers and itnbibo whiskoy. When all hands were pretty well warmed up, the sub ject of Turley's shameful deception and un. occupied grave was freely discussed. It was decided that such a good grave ought not to bo wasted, and in order to make uso of it Godfroy's remains should be speedily in terred in it. This met tho approval of all prosent, and with the rudo coffin in one wagon, ob many as could crowd into another, and a number of horsemen at either side, the funeral cortege started, in the heavily fallen Bnow. Soveral times on the way a dog belonging to a mombcr of the party started a jack rab bit, and each time the horsemen assisted in the chase. Tho further the procession got from the starting point tho moro of tho mourners jumped from the wagon and aided the horsemen and dog in chasing the rabbit. The gravo was rcaohed and found to be par tially filled with snow. Then another attor ney, who differed but littlo from tho one in tho coffin except that the hitter was dead, proposed, as there was no minister of tho "Gospel present, to dolilsToesftfi-dellvera funeral oration. Ho had hardly got moro than well started when some one shouted that tho dog had started another rabbit. Away went horsemen, footmen, orator, mourners" and all, in pursuit of the rabbit and dog, leaving teams, coffin and corpse to take caro of themsolves. Tho chase was a particularly long and exciting one, as tho dog, whilo always seeming about to got tho rabbit, failed to do so. Left to themselves, the team got tired of standing in the storm and ran away towards home. When the crowd straggled back, tho snow had filled the gravo ana obliterated tho wagon tracks. As tho cemetery consisted of only that ono grave and had no othor mnrks to distinguish it from the rest of the prairie, they were by no means certain of its location in the snow. Ho they trudged off home in tho snow and arrived to find the teams there beforo them. The tailboard was out of the impromptu hearso, and the coffin had dis appeared. It was not recovered until the snow partially melted, more than a week later. Then the relatives arrived and took tho body EaBt with them, and Turloy's gravo went unfilled till a cow broke her leg by fall ing into the pit. Tho grave was then pro nounced a publio nuisance and filled up with dirt. BYBNES'S PLEA OF DEFENSE. Claiming; that Timothy Whalen'e Death vraa Dae to Careless Nursing. Tho trial of Joseph Byrnes, for the murder of Timothy Whalen last May, was resumed this morning in the Court of General Sessions before Judge Cowing. Whalen was a saloon keeper at C09 Greenwich street. On the night of tho assault he was shutting up shop when Byrnes came along and stum bled against him. In the subsequent quarrel Whalen was stabbed in tho abdomon. Byrnes is quite a able-bodied follow, short of stature, with Bharp features and pleasant face. He has but recently been released from prison where ho was serving time for stabbing a man. Yesterday was devoted to tho proso cution nnd to-day the dofenso presented its argument and evidence. Kx.-Assemblyman House made the opening argument for the defense. He claimed that the wound inflicted by the prisoner was mado in self-defense and that death was the result, not of the wound but of careless nursing, which engendered serious complications. Evidence is still boing heard. Some Peculiarities of the Diamond Trade. From tk JtitiUr' WMyt In ancient times the diamond miner sold his find to a trader, and be In turn to the Amsterdam cutter. As only royal personages were allowed to wear diamonds In those good old days, the cutter, when his work was finished, found himself in rather a quandary as to how to dispose of them. Owing to his occupation and station In life he was usually a person who could not approach the King. Hence the system of brlblog a servant or courier to show the gems to the monarch gradually sprung np, and as the privileged circle In which the wear lug of diamonds was permitted grow larger, the couriers and servants changed Into brokers, pure snd simple, who did nothing but travel for the cutter. As these middlemen becamo rich they bought tbeso gems outrlsnt from the artisan Instead of selling for his account, and thus became dealers. Those whose pecuniary resources were more lim ited were, of course, obliged to remain brokers, but from their knowledge ot gems and tried trust worthiness they were classed Al. At this stage was Introduced the memorandum bill, to discriminate between tbeso brotera of es tablished reputation and those of what I will call the second class, which Included men of fashion in want, who had extensive social acquaintance, but were of no financial responsibility. Among mer cbauiB and dealers, therefore. It soou became tho regular practice to give the better class of brok rs a bill upon which was the word "memorandum," the klgnlucance of which was twofold. In the first place, the merchant thus limited his risk and could reclaim the goods at aurtrno before tho broker sold themj In the cond, the probahje purchaser might nave an opportunity of examining the gems and returning them it unsatls'actory. The seoond clais of brokers ordinarily re ceived no bill, but would usually state for what object the goods were wanted, and would report ss soon as the goods were disposed ot With alight variations these customs are in vogue at the pres ent day and will probably last U long as the trade Itself.

Whilo wandering along on the cast side, tho attention of a World reporter wob at tracted by tho sound of a violin. Tho quality of the tone was remarkablo. It was largo, rich, palpitating with feeling and of honeyed sweetness. Tho reporter entered the houso whonco tho music came, scaled the stair and following the sound, wont into a room on the second floor. It was bare of carpet or rug. Three or four dozen violins wore systematically hung on the wall, showing as many Bhades of brown as a collection of well-colored meer schaums. Other shells unvarnished lay upon tho mantel. Half a dozen bottles filled with a brown liquid stood on a shelf. A music stand had a volume of musical compositions lying open upon it. In tho centre of the room was a German, thirty years of age, playing on a violin. His back was turned to the door. The glorious volumo of sound filled the poor, gaunt room wiUijBwettpngB. Kot that tho player was a SarasoTe or a TJoaoblm.' lToBuT&rnoTcllUftr Teresiuo Tua or Camilla TJrso in his execu tion. But tho instrument was the Bonrco of the magio sounds. Inquiry developed the fact that the young man was ono Gcorgo Szag. a Leipzig violin maker, who camo to New York a fortnight ago. Ho deals in old Oromonas and Mautuas. The instrument he had iu his hand was, ho said, a Nicolas Amati of 1C23. Nicolas Amati was tho eldest of the three Amati brothers, who rivalled the great Stradivarins as a maker of peerless violins. The instruments of Nicolas are prized more than those of his brothers, Andreas and Hieronymo. The young man took np several others and played upon them. One was a Jacob Stainer of 1678. the othors wero Guarneriuses. He had no Strad ivarius in his collodion. They cost too much," he said simply. Tho violin-player intends to give lessons in New York and to sell his old instruments when he can. A LIVER! STRIKE PROBABLE. The Dissatisfied Drivers nnd Ntnblemen May Uo Out Next Tuesday.

Lew Dockstader Is nothing if not cute, and when ho and Abo Hummel put their heads together they can evolve something unique In the line of smsrt nesa. Tbey were clever enough yesterday to put up a scheme whereby Master Wtlnsteln played as usual iu Dockslader's Theatre last night, the Madrigal liojs sang as sweetly, and as Lew said "Drer Gerry he lay low." Commodore (Jerry's soilety baa foridden young Uelustcln to perform. 1 he act of Ibso prevents children from appearing In theatrical entertainments. About midwjy in the entertainment last night Mr. More land camo forward and said; "Ladles and nentlement The entcrtslnmonl will close here; and Mr. Uockstsdvr, who la Jcalr oua of advancing the education ot Albert Weln ateln aud tho lads who huve been for many years known as tho 'Madrigal Hoys, will open asoiool for tne toltloj of theto boys In history, geography, vpelllug and other necessary accomplishment.

This was tho Dockstader Fchool: Pedagogue, Arthur Moreland; scholars, Muster Albert Wcln ateln and the "Madrigal lloya." "Scholars in history stand up," shontcd tho pedagogue. Who was Ueorte waihtngton "Flr.t in war, first In peace ind drat iu the hearta of his countrymen," came the answer, ac companied by the usual breakdown. "Kow, boys, which paper has the largest circu lation J" Tub World, t' answered the chorus. This s.me teaching was carried on through spell ing and arithmetic, much to the delight ot the audience. The teacher then said I now proposo to show you my scholars' prog ress In the art of music. Then tne little madilgal boys come ont In mess-enper-boy uniforms and sang. The prlzo pupil, little Welnateln, piano player, followed, lie played rather nicely. No one Interfered, Abe Hummel rubbed hta hands togother and Lew Dockstader chuckled to himself In the wings. Commodore Uerry was asked last night what be thought of the above plan of getting round the mandate. "I think you will agreo with me," ho xald, "that It Is an evasion of the law. We shall not tako any actlontto-nlght. In fact, we haven't decided just what we will do. Some action will doubtless be taken to-morrow." It was stated to tho reporter that two strango men had endeavored to enter the theatre by the stage door lust night but were prevented by the policrmen Blatloned there. The manager seemed to think they were agents of tho Boclety for the Prevention ot Cruelty to Children. EOLTING CURED BY ELECTRICITT. experiments With a Horse Tried a First Time In This Country, SrlCIAI. TO THE WOBLD.1 Boston, Dec. Id. 1'ror. R. 11. Harmon, of the Harvard Veterinary School, Bhowed how a bolting horse, or one that has a tendency to break, can be mastered by means of an electrlo shock sd ministered by the driver. Uray Eagle, a trotter with a record of 22, but with soveral bad bablta, was brought to Prol. Harrison. This horse will take his bit In his teeth snd make himself maater of the situation whenever an opportunity Is af forded. Dr. Harrison took a small battery and extended two slight wires, terminating In small knnhs, from it along the reins to the lilt of the bridle. At tbo wilt of the operator a shock of vreater or less Intensity can be given tne horse, which can thus be made to understand whether he or bis driver Is master without oauslng any Injury to the anlmaL The Instrument was applied to Gray Eagle and at the same time the utmost care was given to use It only with the words "Whoa" and Steady, the first mearmlgtbtrbjy)llmitDrs-suort distance If trotting or to atop short up If he were walking, the second to get on his feet If oresklng. The animal, after a few experiments, became docile and his bolting took Its place among the lost arts. This morning he was given a dual trial under 1'ror. Harrison's supervision snd came to a bslt from a 2. 40 clip or a walk with equal docility on beating the word Whoa" and gave over his breaking when the word Steady was given. He was tried under circumstances calculated to excite him and the experiment proved perfectly ssttsfactory. The experiment has been tried. in France, bat never here before. 1W0 liEMAllKABLE JUSTICES.

Snowden, of Pennsylvania, jumped to his feet with a protest against tho attempt to foroo nny man on tho convention, nnd nomi nated Gen. Nathan Goflf, of Virginia, a stanch follower of J. Oillospie Blaino. There was wild excitement, shouts, hur rahs for lilaino, for Sherman, for Golf. On tho voto tho nomineo of tbo cotnmitteo got 159 votes and Gen. Qoff polled 153, which, considering that Mr. Ityan Lad the prestige of the cotnmitteo baokfng, and thereforo tho votes of forty.tlvo New Yorkers, every one of whom is devoted to Blaine, was not much of a victory for John, of Ohio. CAUcroa'nKi'fjAsx tooht. Evidently Mr. Sherman's frionds felt the sting and realized that the convention was not particularly in tho interest of their leader at least, and, as a result, thero was much indignant caucusing among tho adher ents of Sherman last night, and loud threats were made that they would bolt Evarts for Pcrmanont Chairman to-dny. The line between tho Blaine men and the Sherman men is distinctly drawn to-day, and it would requiro but very littlo rubbing of the hair tho wrong way to get up a first-rate fight betweon the two factions. THOUDLE OVXn THE RESOLUTIONS. Tbo fight camo up again unexpectedly last ovening at tho meeting of the Committee on Resolutions at tho Republican Club in Twcnty-eighth street. John A. Knsson, of Iowa, who is set down as a Blaine mnn, was selected for Chairman of tho committee, but when "Joe" Mauley, Blaine's right bower, emboldened by this seeming victory, insisted that Blaine's views on tho tariff question, as expressed in his Paris interview on President Cleveland's message, bo adopted bodily as the sense of tho convention, no wns met by an opposition unlooked for by the Sherman men. The Ohio men advocated tho adoption of a set of platitudes meaning nothing and strad. dling tho question completely. The opposition was strong enough to refer the whole matter to a committee of Chairman Kasson, Editor Emory Smith, of the Phila delphia Preti, Col. John Atkinson, N. V. 8perry, of Connecticut, and Congressman Ilouck, of Tennessee. E. II. Algor, of Michigan, was chosen Chairman of the Permanent Organization Committee, Senator 'William E. Chnudlorof tho Committee on Rules, U. I. Batchellor of the Committee on Credentials, and James Boyle of the Committee on League Club Or ganization. Tho Committeo on Resolutions bad another hard tussle over the nttempt to say something definite on tho saloon question. Col. Mauley fought an unti-saloon resolution and it was left in abeyance. NEW TOhK DELEGATES BQDAIinLlNO. Previous to the reassembling of the con vention tho delegates from this State held a rather Btormy caucus in tho gallery. Mr. E. T. Braokett, who is a member of the machine State Committee from tho Saratoga District, presided. Tho represantathes of tbo various clubs throughout tho State de sired to have a meeting. "We should get together for tho purpose of coming to some conclusion about voting as a unit or otherwise," shouted a Herkimer County farmer. That's so; that's so," chorused fifty dole gates. A motion was mode that tbo New York del rgates should meet immediately after tho ad journment of the morning session. Ex.Aldcnnan James w. Hnwes oftered an amendment. He wanted tho meeting to take place at G o'clock this afternoon, About a dozen delegates tried to get the at tention of Mr. Brnckctt. It was finally de cided to assemble immediately after tho morning Bosnian. Then a tight occurred over tho placo of meeting. Alderman Alfred It, Couklittg, of tho Seventh District, a nephew of Hoacoo Conkllng, moved that the caucus bo held at Wallace's, in Fifth avenuo, near Nineteenth stroet. KO SALOON IN ills. Wallace's was about to bo accepted when a haymaker from St. Lawrence. Comity naked if Wallaco's was a hull or a town meeting place. Uo was told that it was n restaurant. Is it a Baloou demanded tho haymuker. This question caused a rumpus. No saloon," come from a number of tho delegates. It is a restaurant," yellod Aldormau Conkliug. Is liquor sold there was tho question next fired at him. Mr. Conkling admitted that liquor could be obtained there, but vouched that Mr. Wullaoe kept a very respectable place. Most of bis customers are Republicans," added tbo Alderman, and his sally was greeted with laughter. It 1 convenient to this hall," continued J nnsT novsn von snr.u.uA. tho Alderman, that is tbo only reason I suggested tho place." Tho rural delegates, howovor, decided against meeting at Wnllaro's, and it was agreed to hold tho caucus at tho rooms of tho Thirteenth Assembly District Republican Olub in tho Grand Opora-Ilouso Building. Tho caucus is to fix np n plan io organizo tho Now York clubs into a Stato League. ItEABflEMIlLINO OP TUB CONVENTION. Tito Chlokcring Hall Convontion was to reassemble at 10 o'clook this morning. At that hour there wero only n fow delegates in the hall. Thu delegates generally "saw tho town" last night nnd, as they struggled in this morning, their hollow eyes and wrinkled brows boded ill for harmony. Senator Evarts got u seat on thu platform without npplnuse, and Col. Fred Grunt was almost unknown und hardly noticed on tho platform. Joe Manly woro ntboughtfnl, business-like air, and Senator Chandler evidently thought something was going to happen." Temporary Chairman Ryan nipped with bis Savel and obtained order at 10.30 o'clock, nnd lhairman Chandler read tbo report of tho Committee on Rules and Order of Business, as follows 1. That tho unit of representation when a roll call Is demanded by the chairmen of rive Btates or Territories (hall be that ot the club, each olub to have one vote, to bo determined by a majority of Its delegates present. L Each State Khali have a Chairman, who shall atoerwin and announce tho vote or the various clubs of the Htalo subject to a demand for a roll- call of tho clubs for thst State by any one of Us Clubs. 8. The order of business shall bet (I) Reports of committees. (2) Cre initials. (3) Permanent or ganization. (1) Extension ot the club organiza tions, and (5) ltesolntlons. 5. No porson shsll bu permitted to speak on any pending question more than five minutes without the consent of the convention. Tho report was adopted. AITLAUBE ron BLAINE AND grtEnMAN. Oen. G. S. Bntchelor presented the report on Credentials, and the Secretary road the official list of clubs represented in tho Con vention. During the reading thero was frequent ap- lauso. Whon a club bore tho utuuo of inooln or Grant or Logan thero was especial applauso and sometimes faint cheering. When tho "James G. Blaine Club," of somewhere, was called, there was a tremen dous cheer, long prolonged, aud cat-calls and yells. Every eye turned instantly toward tho Ohio men under tho gallery, and they were found to bo clapping their bonds and cheering and laughing. But the laugh was rather mechanical and their huzzas wero faint. It took onlv an in stant for them to compose their features into soberness and sobriety again, whilo the friends of Blaine laughed and folt good for an hour. The Sherman Club, of Mansfiold, brought ont hard slapping from scattered enthusi asts all all ovor tho houso, but an effort to raiso a hurrah was a blank failure, and tho Ohio men grew mora solemn and severe of meiu. A little later tho followers of the Plumed Knight rubbed it into their foes at the all of n Blaino club of Philadelphia, yelling, clap ping hands and stamping on the floor for dear lifo for five minutes. And tho Ohio men smiled not. There was uo applauso for Garfield Clubs at all, although thero woro half a dozen iu the list. SENATOR EVARTS PERMANENT CHAIRMAN. Senator Evarts was then introduced as Sermauent Chairman and began a speech do ning the principles of the party. Over Twelve Hundred Students at Yale. isrrcuL to Tn wobld.1 New Haven, Doc.

Within a short time it will bo possiblo to reduce letter postage to ono rent nu ounco without involving a serious loss to tho Gov ernment. To mnko tho chango now would probably ereato a deficiency of some $10,000,000 a yiar. Tho champions of n perpetual war tariff see in this another opportunity to spond tho surplus, and therefore sumo of thorn favor a reduction in postago at onco.

Tho Commission appointed by tho Legisla ture to report on tho most Immune method of capital punishment" is understood to bo in favor of somu oloctrical modoof executing death sentences. Tho murderers themselves aro not given to selecting thu "most humane method" of despatching their victims; but society owes something to itself. And hanging is cer tainly a coarBo and brutal method of execut ing a criminal. It would undoubtedly bu loss shocking to kill by a shock than by hanging. Mr. Ltncii says that in Mississippi when tho Domocratio convention adjourns tho election is over." It is just so in Pennsyl vania and Vermont and Iowa when tho Republican conventions adjourn.

STACE KISSING. .i "Huch kisses," said tho ltttlo actress scornfully, shaking her golden curls nud arranglug her rosy llpa Into a delightful pout, "uro not wortli having, lu fact, they aro nothing more nor leas than a hid eous parody on the genuine article." Now, to anybody who did not know tho subject of uur conversation, such a remark as that Just made, would huve becu startllug. I should really bo seriously embarrassed If I were nut permitted to'uxplaln mutters, because, as I was the only per son present at tho tune my little sunny-haired friend gave vent to this sentiment, you will readily see that 1 might subject myself to unworthy suspicions. Tho fact Is that wo wero merely discussing tho stage kiss, lu which auscoptiblo thcatro-goera aro deeply Interested, audi wssendcavonngtu extract a little Information about It from the dainty little lady who vv us only too willing to glvo IL "The audience Imagines," she said, "when they sco a handsomely dressed young man, good looking, well mustucbed aud altogether Btyllsh I hntu that word, don't you t ferveutly embrace the leading lady of tho company that the kiss, even though It may not be given with gonulno feeling, must, nevertheless, bo agreeable. Oh, my dear boy, do, If you can, contradict this for my sake. Never was there so fatal an error or u supposition su stupidly unwarranted by the real facts ut the case." Sue was evidently deeply In earnest, and earnest peoplourounviijs entitled to profound attention, so I became ptufoundly attentive. I must make a coufesslou," she Bald, In more BUbdued toues, "aud tell you everything. The first time I knew I had to boJcissed on the stage by the goud-lookliig leading man ahl you would bo surprised if 1 tuld you his name I admit that I was dellghicd. Yes, I was by no rocana averse to It. I knew that tho rule culled fur tbo kiss and I vvaa satisfied, bliull I ever forget that kiss I I think not. I found a face beside my own, ao besmeared with rouge, to lucruned with powder, so moist with cosmetic, that 1 assure you It didn't look like a face. As 1 said, this was really my first stage kiss. I don't say It was my first kiss, mark you well, because well, I have three brothers. Hal nal" She laughed provoklugly, and I felt vexed with out knowing why. "Ills awful face," ahe went on, "was pressed close to mine, aud It positively sickened me. Tbo leading man was French, und he had dined elabor ately on food exceedingly flavored with garlic. I remember I had to spring back after the embrace and exclaim, How dare you Insult roe with your kisses, (live them to her who will appreciate them.' "I made that speech from my heart. I thor oughly meant what I sjld, aud the effect npou the audience was excellent. Only, for tbo life of me, I couldn't think uf any one who would appreciate such kisses. I wouldn't havo offered them to my bit terest foe." She laughed at the recollection and then went oni "Stage kisses aro generally disgusting. Of course, sometimes thero aro merely make-believe kisses, but when you ate right In front of the audl enco that Is Impossible. The audience may some times bo shocked ut tho apparent warmth uf a stage kits, but they would bu more shocked If It were not given. A man who is su enveloped lu paint Isn't a a man. You aro merely kmlng a painted doll, with u mustache so colored by cosmetics that you are to mortal 'ugom list It leave some trace on your III). white skill. Oh, yesl" she added, tmlliug, "many are the 'property' mustachtt I have loathed for that reason. Then she uttered the remark it hlch embarratased me at thu beginning, Do yon krow," she said, beaming seraphlcally, that at oue time I was ao utterly alck uf auge kissing, and 11 became so revolting to me, ttat I really ihoug.il yes, I did, honor bright 1 that 1 should neve.-again be able to tolerate kissing off tho stage." alan Dale. m1. sijifcVAy5tttiA31atJdt521iuji!

His roof afforded them homeliko hospitality until they could find their friends or start on their journey to tho West, and his oheery'voico followed them iu tones of benediction aud encouragement. No wonder that tho women looked linger iugly on tho still faco, so changed from tho roscato hue of jocund health which tho good priest woro in lifo, although a quiet smile Btill plays nbout the cold lips so used tu smiling on tho buffering noedy.

CARRIE TEARFUL BUT FREE. 1 NOT TO BE TROSECDTED ON PAWNBROKER WEAVER'S CHARGE. Ml. Van Dcrknr to Mnke Restitution to Mr. Y'onng Tor the Latter' Loet Under Clothing Mother nnd Diumhler Wceplnar In Court Hlern Junllre Pntteraon Die. posed to bo rjevrre to tbe Young Woman. Of tears thero was a copious flood. They courted down tho chcoks of protty and potito Carrie Van Dcrkar and those of her equally pctito and onco pretty mother, mingling in glistening drops on tho elegant seal cloak of tho girl and tho more plain cloth jacket of tho mother. It was before the bar of tho lofforson Mar. ket Polico Court where Miss Van Derkar waa arraigned on tho chargo of larcony preferred by Pawnbroker Woavor, of 1G0 Ninth avenue Tho crime charged was tho redeeming from pledgo and conversion of $23 worth of undor. clothing, tho property of Mrs. AUco J.Young, of 214 West Fourteenth street. Justice Jako Patterson big and masslvo, looked dow n f rowningly upon tho dashlly nttircd littlo woman. Tno latter triod to be delimit, but tho arrogant air was a 'bin veneer for her womanly weakness. I Counsellors Joseph Stlner and Frank J. Walsh supported her on either side, whilo Denis A. bpcllisoy represented tho com plainant. Your Honor," commoncod Mr. Stlner, in porsuasivo tone, and ho pleaded that the complainant lx) allowed to withdraw tho com plaint, Mr. Spcllisoy, on behalf of the pawn, broker, nlio pleadod for tho girl. Lawyor Walsh suggested that thero seemed to bo a fair defense, as Miss Van Derkar J strenuously 'denied tbat sho taken tho under. clothing or represented herself as Dollie I Mitchell. 1 Tho big, bluff Justico paid no hoed to this suggestion, but Lawyer Stiner did, and turn, ing quickly to Mr. Walsh said: "For Hoavon'a sako don't press that. There's no dofonse at all. Sho was identified out of a thousand." I think this girl should bo taken care of. I Her parontfl don't appear to bo able to look after her, said tho Justice. I am informed that sho is away from homo for weeks at a time. Where's hor mother?" A little woman with trembling hand and lips stopped up to thu bar beside her daughter. At sight of her tho girl's defiant air disap peared, uud reaching out sho foil upon her mother, who caressingly pillowed the girl's head upon her shoulder, aud with tho excla mation, My poor child I minglod her tears with thoso of her daughter. Even tho stern Justice was affected by this scene, but ho did not allow his feelings to in. tcrforo with his duty. Isn't it tmo that this girl has been away from homo for weeks at a time asked he. Tho trembling mothor fiunlly managed to say that Carrie waa homo for a, little while every two or threo days. I nm afraid sho is a bad girl," continued tho Justice. "Shu tells stories of living on Fifth avenue and having coaches and maids, nud she must get her money somewhoro. I'm afraid you can't take caro of her." I'll try to, sir," murmured tho mothor. How nro you going to do it?" askod im plncnhlo Justice, I'll send her to hor grandparents in Mas. sachnsotts." Hero tho accused girl broko In and between her tears and sobs said: When 1 was-ns nwny-ny I was-as with my mint iu Brook-ook-lyn, and mamma knew whore I was," concluded sho hurriedly before another sob choked hor, and again sho pil lowed her head on hor mother's bosom. Tho trouble with Carrie is that she is sick and nervous nnd is not always in her right mind," appealed tho mother. Justice Patterson thought this plea the most satisfactory yet advanced, and said that it rather confirmed an idea ho had formed. He conferred with Elbridge T. Gerry, of the Society for tho Prevention of Cruelty to Children. Finally it was agreed that restitution should bo mado to Mrs. Young, nnd pretty Carrie was discharged with, Take your child away, madam." Tho father of thi girl. L. P. Van Derkar, has an office in the very buildiug where hla daughter was imprisoned, but did not go noar her. COMSTOCK ON FULTON'S BOOK. Uo Would Not Hnppre. It, But Sngge.ta Home Modifications lu It. Anthony Comstock was asked by a World reporter this morning what he intended to do in the matter of the Rev. Justin Fulton's book which Rand, Avery .t Co. refuse to print on account of its obsconity. "It is a matter which concerns tho District Attorney of Massachusetts. The book has not been printed hero, and from what I know of it, I shall tako no measures against it. I suggested to Mr. Fulton, who conferred 5 with mo as a friend, some modifications in 1 certain passages as expedient. "Col. Beecher's prcsonco in tho office yes. terdav with Mr. Fulton wns a coincidence. Cob Bccchor came by appointment without knowing that Fulton would bo here." It is understood tbat Mr. Britton. an official of tho Now York Society for tho Suppression of Vico, takes a different viow of Dr. Fulton's work. FIRE ALARMS RUNG OFTEN.
