THE HORSE WAS SOT WHITE

Previous Stories About the Animal That Carried Cronin to His Death Denied. It Was a Spjcaled Gray, itli Dark Legs, According to a Witness Who Saw the Doctor Driven Awav An Alibi for Coujhlin. f Chicago. Xov. 21 ratrick Dinuu, livery Btable keeper aud owner of ihe famous rhite horse, was the first witness in tho Cronin case to-day. His' testified that his Lorse was in a dime museum in" this city, and had been for three weeks. This, he said, was the same horao that he had let C'oughlin's friend have on the evening of the mux if r. Then Louis Budcnhender, of lloboken, N. J., was called to the witness-chair. He testified that hewas arealestate agent, and that he had lived in Hobokcn for twentynine years, with the exception of theperiod between Aug. 0. 1SS8, and May 21.1SS9, when Le lived in Chicago. During that time he lived near the "Windsor Theater, in a flat in which Dr. Cronin lived with the Conklins. On the evening of the murder the witness "was in Jeckel's cigar store, opposite Dr. Cronin's residence. He was positive that ho was in the cigar store at 7 o'clock, and may havo remained there until 8 or 9 o'clock. After ho had been there a few minutes, he noticed the horse aud buggy in front of Dr. Crouin's oPJce. It was an ordinary side-bar buggy, and had the top up. The witness then continued: 'I saw Dr. ?roniu and another man come from the house, and 6tart to the buggy. The driver started for the torse, while the Doctor started towards the buggy. There was some man sn'the sidewalk near the house line, who called to Dr. Cronin and attracted his attention, for the Doctor turned around, but still kept going towards tho bngy. Theij the driver went to the horse's head and unhitched the hors( went to the buggy nnd got in. and sat on the west, aide. Then Dr. Cronin got in. He was talking to this man all tho while. I could not hear anything he said from that distance. Then they shifted their eeats and this man got in tront of the Doctor, and then they sat down and went off." The witness also testified that Dr. Cronin had what appeared to be a small chest or box. which might have contained his instruments or medicine. The witness was standing in the door of this cigar store looking at tho Jj or se for about fifteen minutes: and saw it boforo the men came down, and all the incidents of their departure. "What vraa the color of that horse?" asked the lawyer. "It was gray, a speckled gTay, with dark legs. The horse which I saw yebterday at the Dime Museum was not the horse that irove Dr. Cronin away, and did not reaeinbTof jt fhefhorso 1 saw yesterday is a "white horse, but the horse I saw take Dr. Cronin away on the night of May 4 was a speckled if ray. The legs of the horse that, took Dr. Cronin away were dark, while the' legs of this horse are white." The cross-examination of the witness was then begun, and the first question asked the witness after ascertaining that ho left Chicago May 23 was whether the finding of the body of Dr. Cronin had anything; to do with his departure. The witness said no, and tho counsel for the defense called upon . the court to protect the witness from such questions. The witness said that ho had known Dr. Cronin by sight for several months. He could not say who pointed him out to him. He could not describe how the man was dressed who was talking with I)r. Cronin when he saw him. Marshall D. KlwelL who took a deeree of doctor of medicine at the Rush Medical College, and who is now professor of law in the Northwestern University, at Evanston, was the next witness. He sdhI he had given lectures on tho subject or microscopical examinations since 165J. He was a fellow of the General Microscopical Society, of London, and various other societies in ' this country. To his knowledge there was, in the present state of science, no means. by which . human hair could be certainly distinguished from, any other hair, and there is no way by which it can be scientifically ascertained that two given specimens of hair came from the same head. The witness also testified that there were no difl'ereuces in ihe structure of the hiir of ilitierent people, and that the microscope was of no service in the examination of the color of hair, but that, on the other hand, It was misleading. Tho testimony of this witness was continued at length, aud was of a derided technical character. Dr. Harold M. Mayer, lecturer on physiology at Rush Medical College and esc6unty physician, was the next witness. His testimony was to the same general effect as that of Dr. Elwel. His examination occupied the remainder of the forenoon session and a considerable time in the afternoon session. He was followed by Dr. Lester Curtis, a microscopical expert, who has made a special study of hair. He corroborated the preceding witness as to the impossibility of distinguishing human hair from all other hair, or determining that two specimens of a hair have come from the game head. There is, he said, no known way of scientifically determining that certain fibres, taken from a lloor, for instance, mingled with blood, are fuzz ,or lunago from a human body. At the conclusion of his testimony the court adjourned till to-morrow. A Good Witness for Coughlin. Chicago, Nov. 21. Just as- Judge McConnell was about to enter the court-room this morning hewas met at the door by a man who introduced himself as J. S.Martin. Mr. Martin said he had knowledge that was of value to one of the defendants in the Cronin case Daniel Coughlin. He did not want to be mixed up in the Cronin case in any way, he said, and for that reason had not spoken before. At this stage of tho case, however his conscience would notlet him rest till hehad related what he. knew. He acted only in the interests of justice, ho said, and not knowing just what to do, concluded to see Jndgo McCounoll. His story was that hehad seen Daniel Coughlin between 9 and 10 o'clock on the night of May 4 attheChicago-aycnue police station. Before going on with the proceed ings. Judge McCounell called the State's Attorney and Mr. Torrcst to the bench, and informed them what Martin had related to him. Martin's sfory, if true, corroborates the testimony of oSicer McDonald, who swore he saw Coughlin enter tho Chicagoavenue station about 9 o'clock that night. Martin will probably he placed on the witness-stand to-morrow. The TlatfleMOXcCor Feud to Be Ile3nd' Huntington-. tY. Va Nov. 21,-liig Al Blumheld and Heart Dingis, cousin of little Al Murufield, who, with his wife, was murdered by Wilt Haley and Pete McCoy in the Hatfield-McCoy vendetta, arrived at liarboursvillo yesterday. They are heavily armed, and have warrants for tho arrest of several members of th McCoy and Runyon families, alleccd to be concerned in the killing of old Mr. and Mrs. Paris Hatfield, in Lincoln county, last week. The wargrants are issued by Justice of the Peace Tom Blumfield, and he says he is going to have the men arrested if it takes all the lilumfields and Hatlields in Lincoln county to capture them. Tho McCoys will not give the men up, for it i certain that they will be butchered liko Nathan A. Farmer, Edwin and Peter McCoy, the twoCaines and Charles Lambkin were after tho Blumtields taught them. This new move in the feud will rt-open the war, and a succession of bloody tragedies may be expected. Senator Formally Elected. Bismarck. N. D., Nov. 21. Gilbert A. Pierce was formally elected a United States Senator for North Dakota, at the joint session of the Hon to and Senate, to-day. As soon as tho joint assembly dissolved, tho Johnsou men in the House attempted to force a vote tor the second Senator, but a motion to adjourn prevailed by a vote of to A Republican conference committee has been appointed to call a caucus, bat in all probability the second senatorhip will be fought out in the Legislature. m m Died from Hydrophobia, MarhIjEIIKAD, Ma.s., Nov. 21. John Williams, about twenty-three years old, was taken violently ill yesterday with hydrophobi t and died this morning, afr-reuf-ixiinz tcxriblo agoxyr. Ajouag tojt W.

A. Belt was alo attacked by the disease yesterday. The boy is alive this morning, out can't recover. Williams was bitten by a mad dog two months ago and the boy about six weeks ago. The same dog that bit Williams also bit hir brother and several other persons, but they have shown no signs of the malady as yet. ENGLISH FARMERS.

They Hare a Very Hard Time and Want Protection for Their Products. Letter In Philadelphia Frew They are not the owners of the land they cultivate. They have topav as rent for ordinary farming lauds from $3 to $10 per acre, and when near town and cities from $4i5 to $.j0 or moro per acre. They can't, in many instances, clear as much as they have to pay for rent. Bnt their troubles don't end here. They are taxed in numerousother ways for the supportof highways, etc.. and then tho abominable tithe system still obtains here, in one form or another, where one-tenth of what is raised, or its value, goes to the church, which, perhaps, the fanner never attends. I was surprised to? learn that this system of supporting the church still prevails here, Thelarmers are very hostile to it. On account of the hard times among them they are removing in large numbers to the various English colonies end to America. One. landed estate has thirteen vacant farms this season because the owners would not lower the rent. One of the chier causes, however, of the S resent unprofitableness of farming in reat Britain is the competition with other nations. Breadstnffs of all kinds are brought from the colonies and from tho United States. Freights are comparatively low. and the English tenant farmer who is compelled to pay $5 to $10 or more annual rent for his land has to come in competition with the farmers who own their lands and have no such tax to pay. They can't compete on eucL terms, and must go to tho wall. The farms must be abandoned or a much lower rent be required. Tho landlords fear if they put down the rent now they can never put it up again, and hence most of them aro firm in their demands. The lands, as a rule, are cut up into very email farms of ten, twenty, thirty or forty acres, rarely up to 100 acres; but in some instances and m some parts of the country the farms are larger whero stock-raising is carried on. Dairying is condncted to a considerable extent, but as we traveled over the country it was very rare to see more than six to ten cows on the dairy farms, and both butter and cheese aro made at these small farms; but the cows are good ones generally of the short-horu and Ayrshire types. They are kept in thex best order and are deep milkers. The dairy farmers complain bitterly against having to compete with cheap American cheese, selling at Liverpool at about 8 cents per pound. The fanner's wife or daughter on Saturday takes the butter and eggs to the market place in the nearest town, and stands there until all is disposed of. Instead of selling them to the country merchant she sells them direct to the consumer. Towards the close of the market hours, the merchants come round and buy at a little lower price any surplus that may remain. Eegs are always assorted, the larger ones commanding considerably higher prices than the smaller ones. Throughout Europe this assorting of eggs is practiced, and in some places we heard they were sold by the pound. In some sections we found large herds of cattle being grown for beef purposes. These were raised chiefly on farms where the rent is comparatively low, being quite distaut from largo cities. These herds of cattle reminded an American nf his own country more than anything else seen. But the English farmer complains loudly, for having to competo against American beef selling at Liverpool at 8 cents a poundcheaper, it is claimed, than it sells for in Chicago, but really at about the same prices. The entire, farmiug population want a high protective tariff put on all kinds of meats and breadstnffs that are brought into Great Britain in competition with their own. so as to get high prices for what they produce, while the consumers rebel against this, aud say they want cheap foods, and the consuming population outnumber the farmers and carry tho day. GIRLS AS GYMNASTS. They Should Be Careful When Exercising or They Will Hurt Themselves. New York Mail and Express. "Girls should never be allowed in a gymnasium unless they aro in charge of a thorough master of calisthenics anil gymnastics," said a professor to a reporter recently. "It may seem strange to say, but the girls are more daring and much moro reckless than boys when they get the athletic fever. It seems to be very catching nowadays. "Only a short time ago a young lady came into this gymnasium. Sho had never been in a gymnasium before. As soon as she got her suit on she was trying to pull herself up a horizontal bar, and before I could stop her she had strained the tendons in both arms and couldn't- come back to exercise again for nearly three months. "Girls have to take a much more systematic training than boys. They are not so strong, and have to be treated more tenderly. There are hundreds of tvays in which a girl can hurt herself in a gymnasium nnless she is very careful. She can strain her arms and hands by too much exercise at anything. She can sprain her back by jumping too far on the springboard. "I have known girls to sprain their toes in the running high jump even when the bar was only a foot from the ground. Highheeled shoes press the toes downward, aud girls who wear them always land on their toes when they jump instead of on tho ball of the foot." "What exercise should a girl practice at home?" asked the reporter. "Gymnastics, to be healthful, should only take a portion of the strength of one's muscle, and, the constant exercise of these muscles is what develops them. 1 havo seen some delicate girls exercising with live-pound dumb-bells, when some of the strongest athletes of the country only use two-pounders. A girl who wishes to expand her chest can do so if, each morning after her bath, she will stand erect, feet together, shoulders back, arms straight down, and take twenty-five full, deep breaths. Better begin fifteen times tho first week and then gradually increase it. Keep up the increase until it reaches the number of fifty. By that timeher lungs will be much stronger and the che st will begin to expand. A round-shouldered girl can become straight by moving the shoulders aud arms backward in regular motions until the elbows are only a few inches apartLet the first exercise bo twenty times, and increase it until 125 times can be dono without fatigue. The throat cau bo made round aud firm by judicious exercise of the head. I make my throat pupils throw the head far back and then forward slowly, and then from side to sid in the same way. ""There is no reason why any girl or woman not deformed, and about twenty-five or thirty years of age, should not have a graceful and well-developed figure, and gymnastics will give it to her, but not unless she is taught them properly." USES OF COFFEE. The Many Benefits Produced by This Valuable Plant. The Epicure. It is asserted by men of high professional ability that when the system needs stimulant nothing equals a cup of fresh coffee. Those who desire to rescue the drunkard from his cups will find no better substitute for spirits than strong, new-made coti'ee, without milk or sugar. Two ounces of coffee, or one-eighth of a pound, to one pint of boiling water makes a first-class beverage; but the water must be boiling, not merely hot. Bitterness comes from boiling it too long. If the coffee required for breakfast be put in a granitized kettle over night and a pint of cold water poured over, it can bo heated to tho boiling point aud then set back to prevent further ebullition, when it will be found that while its strength is extracted its delicate aroma is preserved As our conntry.consumes nearly ten pounds of coffco per capita, it is a pity not to have it mad" in the best manner. It is asserted by those who have tried it that malaria and epidemics aro avoided by those who drink a cup of hot cotleo beforo venturing into the momingair.

THE WORLD'S FAIR.

Reasons, More or Leas Weighty, Why New York Does ot Want It. Letter in Philadelphia Press. It is also likely that Mr. Piatt's visit to Washington was made the convenient occasion for sounding the administration upon the subject of the world's fair. Kight here it may be well to tell some facts about the world's fair movement which have not been made public here. The movement is apparently moribund; there is a heavy weight operating to suppress and crush out whatever enthnsiasui has existed, and this weight is composed of two elements One of them is the influence of fashionable New York society. When one of the partners in one of the largest dry goods houses in this country was requested to lend his name and aid to the fair, he asked at once, "what aro the Astors doing!" And when hewas told that John Jacob Astor had subscribed $25,000 he declared that that meant that the fair "would not go." To a man of such vast real estate interests as Mr. Astor the world's fair meant a good deal in the way of pecuniary profit,and 2.,000 wasa very small evidence of interest for that family to take in the project. "The fashionable people of New York." said this dry goods man. "don't want the fair, and if they don't want it. chances are that it will not come to New York." The other influence which is stifling the project is a political one, and it operates in a curious manner. It has been said all along that the Republicans were opposed to the fair because it was a Tammany conception, would be controlled y Croker and the rest of the Big Four, and therefore there would be from ten to twenty thousand persons employed directly and indirectly, who would be sure to vote the Democratic ticket at the next presidential election while the fair progressed. Some' pretty clear-headed Republicans took this view, and the night after the late election when Tammany was found to have swept the city again, a number of these men were in consultation with Mr. Piatt. At that time this very suggestion was made, and it . was proposed to make such representations to tho administration and tho majority in Congress as would kill the fair project so far as New York was concerned. It is understood by Mr. Piatt's ..friends that when he was in Washington and had his brief chat with Secretary Tracy and with one or two other Republican leaders there, that he suggested that the Republicans of New York were in favor of the fair provided Congress knew its business in preparing a resolution authorizing it. Now. the Tammany people have just got their eyes open to this aspect of the case and wo begin to hear expressions from them indicating their dread lest Congress should so control the business that the Republicans would operate the machinery of the fair. When this was suggested to -Mayor Grant he whistled m the low, long-drawn note indicative of surprise and meditation, while Mr. Croker, when he heard of it, pursed his lips, looked out of the window across the part from his office, and a moment after put on his hat and overcoat and went out. Mr. Croker is one of those silent men whose thoughts are to be judged only by his actions; but as he went o consult with Mayor Grant and Bburke Cockran.lt is probable that this report of the nature of Mr. Piatt's mission to Washington gave him some concern. With such influences as these pulling in a direction antagouistio to the fair, it will be seen th.re is good reason for the apathy that daily grows upon this subject. But wholly apart from tho political intrigues and other dangers which threaten the fair there exist social movements of an ominous tendency. To-day there comes to me an item of news which means more than all tho brass-baud proclamations in the papers. A few days ago a lunch party was given by one of the leading ladies of the city to a large group of lady friends. I cannot give the names, but if I were to do so it would be seen that the party was representative of tho dominant social forces of the city. In the course of the table talWhe conversation turned to the subject oJktie world's fair, and presently one of the guests proposed that the company take a secret ballot to show whether the ladies wished tho fair held in New York or not. No sooner said than done; and when the ballots were opened it was found that tho company had unanimously voted no. This anecdote is here printed for the first time, and it is only necessary to add that the husbands of these ladies are, in most cases, man of national fame, as well as members of the fair committee. This incident reveals tho state of feeling behind tho scenes. It shows why the rich men on the committee won't subscribe, and why they absent themselves from committee meetings, and why the project drags. Their wives aro opposed to the fair. To them it would mean a burden and a nuisance. It would involve fuss, would bring down upon them aruah of country cousins, would choke the park, would crowd the shops - and make tho Elevated more horrid than ever. If it so happened that the men themselves were eager for the fair they might risk a curtainlecture. But they, too, recognize that, in many respects, the fair would bo a bore. Moreover, "they feel that the project has been miserably botched. The attack on tne , park alienated their sympathy; the delay has cooled their enthusiasm and the management has fallen into hands' in whose intelligence and honesty they have no faith. Hence they are secretly against the fair, though making a show of wishing it well, so far as that can be done without subscribing to the fund. Oue who penetrates beneath the surface expressions of approval, and it is not hard to do this, will be astonished to find how generally the rich, powerful and typical New Yorkers are hostile to the fair. It was not so at the start, but it is so now. MR. ETARTS'S LITTLE JOKE. Why He Strenuously Objected to a Consul's Summary Removal. Washington Tost. When General Garfield's administration auspiciously opened, Mr.Blaine sat moro firmly intrenched in the ritate Department than any Secretary of State since the days of Seward. lt was evident that he was master of the situation. Ministers, envoys, consuls-general, consuls, and diplomatic agents moved at his nod, like pawns aud pieces on a chess-board beneath a master's band. One favorite theory of his. and a not unpopular o'tie, was in favor of limited tenures of service and rotation in ofiice. If a consul had slumbered through three administrations at some far-away post, in a dolce far niente of lotus-eating and salarydrawing existence, the keen Secretary astounded him by inviting a return to tho shores of America and the appointment of his successor. Mr. Blaine sat in his private office one day discussing affairs of state with his immediate predecessor, ex-Secretary William Maximum Evarts. "Now here," said he, "is a case in point. This man has been consul at Un Hung for twenty years. He went there during the war, ana has remained there ever since. It is time he returned home to be acquainted with his country before he grows a queue. If he stays there much longer he will have a Chinese bias in his sight. I shall remove him at once." "I wouldn't remove him, Mr. Secretary' replied Mr. Evarts. "Why not!" "I am afraid it will bo an unpleasant thing to do. To bo vulgar. 1 fear it will make a stink." "My mind ismadenp,"repliedMr. Blaine, "as eoon as I can find a good, live man to take his place, 1 shall remove him." "But I think you will have grave difficulty in finding a good, live man who would be willing to take his place" "I anticipate no such difficulty. But will you explain to me, Mr. Evarts. why you think there will be any difficulty, and 1 confess 1 fail to understand why it wiU, to use your expression, make a stink." "Because this man has been dead and buried these six months, Mr. Secretary." Fanners Not to Be Ilood winked Omaha Kepublican. The spectacle of a farmers' congress declaring in favor of protection is not very gratifying to our friends, the Democratic free-traders, but that is just what happened at tho National Farmers' Congress in session at Montgomery, Ala., last week. As this is the class which is presumed to bo the most oppressed by tho present tariff; their action was, to 6ay the least, rather surprising that is, if they consider themselves oppressed. The National Grange. Philadelphia Inquirer. The National Grange is an organization sufficiently powerful to command respect, and its utterances will bo received with attention, if not accepted as conclusive. Congress will bo moro or legs disturbed this winter by its demand for restricted immigration, American ships and small farms, and ita utterances ou the subjects of textile

manufactures, silver coinage, papermoney, etc. :, At tho same time, while the grange represents a considerable body of voters, it does not represent even all that it claims to speak for, and Congress, legislating for the whole country, will have to take into consideration the views of all, and not merely those of a class. The grangers are an important part of the body-politic, but they are not the whole.

IOWA AND WEST VIRGINIA. A Contrast Between 3lethods tn a Republican and a Democratic State. Iowa State Register. The Philadelphia Press prints the following letter: To the Editor of the Press: Why 'don't you call attention to the contrast between West Virginia and Iowa! In both of these States the dominant party for many years has been overthrown. In West Virginia the KeJublican Governor-elect is denied his seat. In owa the Democratic Governor-elect will take his seat without question. Is this a free government that we live under! Lnwgxant. Philadelphia, Nov. 12. We don't wonder that Mr. "Indignant" feels moved to express himself in this fashion. The contrast between the nearly parallel cases of West Virginia and Iowa is a striking illustration of the difference, between the Democratic and the Republican party. The Republican party says that tho will of the people as fairly expressed at the polls shall prevail. The Democratic party says that the will of the people shall prevail if it's in favor of Democracy; otherwise it shall not, if it can prevent it. General Goff was as fairly and as certainly elected Governor of West Virginia in lfc8 as Mr. Boies was elected Governor of Iowa in 1SS9. Gen. Goff has been kept from his rightful position as Governor for almost a year. Mr. Boies will step into his position as Governor without hiudrance from any one, as soon as thaconstitutioual hour for tho change arrives. Republicans in - Iowa recognize the verdict of tho ballot-box as t supreme, whoever 'is benefited bjr it. Democrats in West Virginia reject the verdict of the ballot-box. when it is in favor of a Republican Governor, and spend months in hunting up technicalities4 and devising schemes for defeating that verdict. There is just as much reason for the Republicans of Iowa to oppose the seating of Mr. Boies as there has been for the Democrats of West Virginia to oppose the seating of General Golt. But the Republican party stands by a fair vote and an honest count, let the advantage bo where it will. The returns of the recerit election for member of tho Legislature from Monona county, show that the Democratic candidate was elected by barely one majority. But that one majority, if the voto was correctly reported, is as good for hi in as if it were one thousand. That is because this is Iowa, a State where tho Republican party has been teaching aud practicing, for more than thirty years, tho principles of political honesty and respect for law. Where is there a case on record of a Southern Republican elected by ono majority who has been given his seat in tho Legislature of a Democratic State? Take Democrats out of the political seats which they have stolen by force, fraud or, intimidation, and there would be more vacant chairs in the South than this country has seen for a long time. IN A BOX-CAR WITH A TIGER. A Keeper's Exciting Ride Across the Coantry With, a & mall Menagerie. New York Sun. There was a story in The Sun the other day about an elephant that got loose in Hobokeu and made things lively for a number of men who were trying to get him to the Adams Express freight depot at the Cortland t street ferry, lie was finally shipped to the winter quarters of Wallace fc Anderson's show in Peru, Ind., together with a car-load of other wild animals, and Edward Thieler, a young man in the employ of Charles Reiche and Brother, went in the car with them. Among the animals was a Bengal tiger, four years old, and of an ugly disposition. Young Thieler went all the way to Peru in the animal car, and returned to this city yesterday. "Everything went smoothly betweenhere and Philadelphia," he told-a reporter yesterday. "Just before we reached Harrisburg, about 2 or S o'clock in the morning, I noticed that the tiger was getting uneasy, and found that he had torn several of the iron bnrs out of the front of his box. He was trying to get at -the sacred cow, tied about four feet away. . "I drove him back with a pitchfork and moved the sacred cow out of reach. When I next turned my attention to the tiger he had forced his way out. I got back behind the elephant. Prince, when the tiger sprang for Prince's head. The elephant knocked him down with his trunk, but the tiger went for him again and the elephant dashed the beast against the side of the car and stunned him. "I went for Mr. Anderson, who was in tho smoker, and wo managed to beat him back into his box and fasten a wire screen over his eago. When we reached Harrisburg we got some boards and patched it up. "We lay over in Columbus on Tuesday night, and towards midnight I was awakened by the animals, aud found that the tiger was chewing the boards of his cage again. I got some more boards, but found that I had no nails, and so I put them in place and put my back a gainst them, braced my feet against the side of the car and stayed there with the tiger scratching away on the other side until 5 o'clock in the morning, when somo of the yard men came down. "The elephant behaved all right until the tiger attacked him and tore a big slit in his cheek. Then he got mad and raised the roof four or five inches. He knocked a hole in the roof, and most of the time traveled with his trunk sticking up through it. I thought every minute that a low bridge or a tunnel would take it oik" MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCES. Three Weil-Known People Who Walked .Away, Never to Be Seen Again. W. S. Walsh's Letter in Pittsburg Dispatch. , Ralph Keeler, a well-known journalist, was an assistant editor on the Atlantic Monthly in 1872. He had made all his arrangements to go to Cuba to write up that island for his superior, Mr. W. D. Howells; sent his baggage to the steamer, bade goodby to a large circle of friends, and started for the wharf. He never reached tho wharf; he has never been seen or heard of since. The husband of Mrs. Margaret E. Sangster, the present editor of Harper's Bazar, was a thriving lawyer and lived in Brooklyn. On July 4. 1870. he complained that the din of the firecrackers had given him a headache, and went out on the front stoop of bis house at ft in the evening to get a little fresh air. He was clao in dressing gown and smoking cap. As he remained out for some time Mrs. Sangster went out to the front door to call him. He was not on the stoop. He was never seen again. One might have supposed that the sight of a man on the street in a dressing gown and smoking cap would have excited some attention, yet no one could furnish a clew as to his whereabouts. This case is all the more striking because Harper's establishment contains another lady editor, Mrs. Helen S. Conant, who knows not if sho be wife or widow. Her husband, S. B. Conant. editor of Harper's Weekly, left his office for home one summer evening in the early part of 1S85. and was never seen again. Three weeks later a dead body was found in the Jersey swamps which was at first thought to be that of the missing editor, but the widow failed to identify it, and the best cflorts of the police were exhausted in vain. 4 Please Remember.

BRAyCIT HOUSE, TTNIQ2T THE VICE OP BAD STREETS. Th Condition of City Street. In Europe and America Compared. New York Evening Poet Mr. Andrew D. White in his comparison between New York and Constantinople has exaggerated nothing. He initfht have pone further into the Orient to rind a parallel to the habitual coudition of our side streets. He might have taken Smyrna or Bagdad for example without doing any violence to the truth. Except Ilro3dway and Fifth avenu and the cross streets in . the wealthy quarter where private enterprise supplements the efforts of the street-cleaning forces, the streets are grimy and unsightly in dry weather, inky and pasty in wet weather, and unwholesome in all weathers, just like the alleys of Turkey, Persia, and Morocco. It is certainly not moro difficult to keep the East Side of New York in good condition than the east end of London. Yet the streets of the east end of London are kept clean. Whatever may be said of the interior of the houses, the thoroughfares are always lit for a civilized people to walk or drive in. And yet London has more dirt to contend with than we have, because she uses soft coal, and has a moist climate, and she uses less water per capita. The combination of soot and fog peculiar to that city adds much to the difficulty of keeping t he etreets clean, yet the difficulty is overcome not merely in the aristocratic quarters, but in all the quarters of that mighty metropolis. The cities of the continent are even better swept and garnished than London. The vice of bad streets is an American vice. Some of our large cities are more tidy than New York, but some are worse. Boston is an example of the former and Chicago of the latter. Taking the country as a whole, dirty streets are the rule and clean ones the exception. We had best acknowledge the truth that wo are lacking or lagging in civilization. Our . want of appreciation of street cleanliness is akin to our want of appreciation of the fine arts. As we discourage systematically the importation of pictures and statuary oy onerous taxes, imposing for example, a fine of $15,000 for the intro ductionofa portrait by Kembrandt and $40,000 for the "Angelua," not for any purpose of protection, bnt for sheer barbaric spite, it is no wonder that the same animus should make little account of muddy boots and should look upon clean ones as a reproach to democracy. . . Modern Newspaper MEnterprie.w Troy Times. Two women are racing around the world, having started from Kew York last week. Nellie 131y left on an ocean steamer going east, and will attempt to show that the trip can be made in less than Jules Verne's famous eighty clays, and M 1X8. Elizabeth li island packed up at a half-hour's notice and took a train for San Francisco, where she will take a steamer for Ja'pan, and so continue westward in an effort to beat Nellie'a time. All of which is interesting, perhaps, but of precious little value except to advertise the publications represented by the two ladies. When Ballots Were Written. Boston Journal. The Lowell Critic is informed by a venerable man, with a long memory, that prior to all ballots used throughout the States were written, and he recalls pinfnllv his cramped ringers and aching bauds in the Boston city campaign of l&ft, when he was one of the clerks in the ofiice of a candidate, and had to write out the ballots. The first printed ballot was nsed in 1&0 by David Hcnsuaw, aud was refused. It took a decision of the Supreme Courtto establish its validity. ' Awful Waate of Money. Chicago Tribune. Eminent Society Reformer (glaring wildly at the audience) Two million five hundred thousand dollars of the hard-earned monev of the people of Brazil paid to hire an old Emperor to abandon his throne and leave the country! What does that money represent, my friends! What would &1500,00u of clean cash great heavens! what would it mean for you and me, my countrymen? Audience (rising as one man) Beer! An Unkind SacsrtIon. riI!alelpb!a Times. . f !om of trio preachers are complaining that Christianity is making greater progress in heathen Japan than in Christian New York and Brooklyn. Perhaps if the preachers who have been making converts of tho people of Japan were to try their bauds on New York and Brooklyn things wight he different.
