AFFAIBS OF TIIE" BAILWAYS Negligence Which Will Result In Dismissal from Service. The general passenger agents who irere in the city on Saturday said that the placing of mileage books at 2 centa per mil on sale on the 20th did not mean a freer uao of the mileage book and helping the ticket calpers out of a tight place, as was evidenced from the character of the ticket put on sale and the safeguards against its abase thrown around it. Much more responsibility in the matter is thrown on the ticket collector or conductor than in any former issue of tickets, over which the ticket collectors and conductors are somewhat exercised. One of the passenger conductors said on Saturday that under tnerulesa conductor, if he doubts & person who oners a mileage book being the original purchaser, he must pull the man out of his berth and examine his clothing to see if the name on the clothing corresponds with that on the mileage book. To show the position the ticket collector or conductor bears to the holder of the mileage book, below is published a private circular sent out to the conductors on the Pennsylvania and the Vandalia lines: The regulations regarding the acceptance of mlleajre tickets for passage must be strictly enforced, without fear or favor. Conductors muit be particular to know that each person presentleg a non-transferrable signature mileage ticket U the veritable person named on the same; and theymtust adopt every special and reasonable method for ascertaining whether or not mileage ticket are presented by the original purchasers. They must require each person presenting a . mileage ticket to identify himself thoroughly by the signature, and the conductors must compare the sitrnatures. and If they Hud mileage tickets have been transferred ami are presented by others than the original purchasers t the parties who properly Identify themselves, they must lilt such ticket, collect full fare, and report tha transaction in the usual way. Furnish each passenger conductor running on the lines referred to above with a copy of this order, and take a receipt for the same, with a statement that he understands It. and end the receipt under personal cover to me by first train after they have been signed. Disregard of this order, in any respect whatever, will subject the offending conductor to dismissal from the service. Charged with Dealing with Ticket-Scalpers. Competitors of the Big Four are disturbed over the discovery in the ticketscalpers' offices of large holdings of tickets of the Big Four. The discovery is the more of a surprise from the fact that in times past the Big Four has steered clear of scalpers and bitterly fonebt them. Should the discovery of these tickets in such number lead to an ugly rate war between the Big Four and the Pennsylvania, the Cincinnati, Hamilton &. Day ton and the Louis ville, New Albany fc Chicago, it need not be a surprise. The Pennsylvania people, especially, are aroused over the matter. ttlg Four Earnings. Secretary S. B. Liggett, of the Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis railway, has issued the December statement of business. As compared with December, 1889, the reDort shows a decrease in gross earnings of 21.0C5.G9. a decrease in expenses of $20,705.51), an increaso in net earnings of $15,G3S.S0. The twelve months of 1890 compared with the same period of 1889 show an increase in gross earnings of $1,417,205.37, increase in expenses of $1,014,700.63, an increase in net earnings of 402,504.74. Why So Little Was Accomplished. It baa leaked out that the reason the meeting of passenger men in this city on Saturday was so much of a failure was that James Barker, general passenger agent of the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago, refused to become a member of the organization, and instructed that none of the representatives of the Monon attend the meeting, saying that he wants nothing to do with an organization which is the least tainted with the Central Traffic. Association. t Personal, Local and General Notes. Charles Watts, superintendent of the Chicago division of the Pennsylvania lines, was in the city Saturday on official business. F. A. ITusted, superintendent of the Dayton & Michigan division of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton lines, spent Sunday in the city. The Ohio & Mississippi, copying after the Big Four, has placed cn sale excess baggage books which represent $15, and will sell them at $12.50. The Lake Erie & Western earned in the first half of January l00,4.09: decrease as compared with the first hf teen days of January, 18C0, $5,248.67. C. J. Kingsbury, who has represented the American Express Company in Cleveland, to-day takes hold as general agent of the company at Cincinnati. G. W. Barnhart. formerly with the Wabash road, has been appointed general

agent of the Cotton Belt nt rort worm, Tex., vice J. II. Harris, resigned. S. 8. Parker, division passenger agent on the Louisville Mash ville road, is to be put in charge of the passenger department of the Kentucky Central, recently acquired by the L. & N. people. George Boyd, assistant general passenger agent of the Pennsylvania lines east of Pittsburg, states that the passenger earnings of these lines for 1S90 were over $2,000.- , 000 in excess of those of 18S9. D. L. Roberts, general passenger agent of the Chicago &. Erie road, is in the Southwest establishing agencies. Last weeK he fitted np tor T. G. Davidson, late with the Mackey line, a handsome offioe in Kansas City. Those who are acqnainted with the. financial situation of the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago are not inclined to believe any of the reports tloating around to the eilect that the road is to pass into the hands of a receiver. E. D. Chadwick and F. S. Gowen have been appointed receivers of the Choctaw Coal & Kailway Company. This company has a contract for 100 cars per month with the Indianapolis car-works, which had but partially been tilled. At the national convention ot the Brotherhood of Telegraphers, held in Chicago last week, thirty-two lodges were represented. The brotherhood expect to be admitted into the Federation of Railway Organizations at the meeting in Jnne next. - The local passenger agents at Cincinnati will hold a meeting to-day. Some of the roads are placing their tickets on sale In music stores, drug stores and saloous, and the better class of passenger men propose to stop this mauuerof doing business, if possible. This is the object of the meeting to-day. Judge E. C. Field, general solicitor of the Louisville. New Albany & Chicago, is doing good service in adjusting suits against the company. Last week he compromised the Grant, Johnston and Rose suits for $.",0,000 by paying tho sufferers $4,500. Tho cases were to come up this week for hearing. An application will be made to-day for a receiver for the Marietta & Georgia road. The road is 223 miles long, extending from Knoxville, Tenn., to Marietta, Ga. It has a $4.0G0,0u0 debt hanging over it, and is but partially completed, it parallels the East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia road from Knoxville to Atlanta. On Jan. 1 a home for disabled railroad men was opened at Chicago, and has already received a number of inmates. The officers of the home receive no salary, and the institution isto be supported entirely by voluntary contributions, which have thus far Wen sufficient to support the charitable enterprise. General Manager Bradbury, of the Lake Erie3L Western, will to-day receive Grand Chief Arthur, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, and a committee of engineers ot the road. As iu the case of the Big Four, the engineers are said to want the pay of engineers equalized, but to bring about the equalization they want the wages of the lowest paid engineers advanced to those ofthe best paid. A railroad official remarked yesterday that the Indianapolis Freight Bureau, recently established, wonld do well to copr after tho Cincinnati Freight Bureau, which has been longer in existence. On Saturday, at a full meeting, the following resolution was paused: . Resolved, That this bureau recommends to its xneuiDers, the ChamDer of Commerce and cJtlreu generally, tho pursuance ot a liberal policy to all railroads terminating In this city. In nflord!ng them all reasonable and possible privileges lu the Improvement and extension of their terminal facilities within the city limits, and tenders Its services in the promotion of this Idea. The Atchison, Topeka &. Santa Fe has opened an outside ticket-office in Peoria,

which is a new thing for that point. The Wabash people are greatly disturbed over the matter, and claim it is in violation of the agreement of the Western Passenger Association, and they will withdraw unless the bSnta Fe closes its office. The latter say that the Wabash has been cutting rates, and the Santa Fe now proposes to have some of the business.

No Hope In the Democratic Party for Negroes. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal; The appointment of Dr. S. A. Elbert to the pension board is an assurance that the claims of the Indiana negro on the Republican party will be recognized as soon as expedient by the administration. There has been some manifestation of impatience on the part of the colored leaders as to the rights considered belonging to the race. This originated not from any sincere distrust of Mr. Harrison not dealing out to them political favors, but rather in the outgrowth of a fear that the race in Indiana would be shelved for members in other States. The Indiana negro has been, and is, a Republican, though time after time inroads have been attempted on a division of his vote. The appointment of Dr. Elbert is most opportune, and. withal, a most creditable one, since there is no qnestion as to his ability to discharge the dnties of the position. Amongst the leaders of his race there is nothing but words of praise for the happy selection. and there are none but are ready to ascribe to the administration a sense of just treatment. The Democratic party has nothing in store for the negro. This is evidenced in the present General Assembly as regards the treatment of the negro Democrats who have asked for minor positions. They have been iziven to understand that there are no positions at the disposal of the party that coaid be doled ont to colored aspirants. One or two. before the election, were deceived into the belief that if the party of "reform and free trade'1 succeeded in seenring control the "colored boys'' would come in for a fair share of the spoils, eating at the first table. Thus misled, a few of the "colored boy a" yelled, drank Democratic whisky and lived in ecstatio expectation. They even went so far as to "knife" a very worthy member of their own race in order to "eat at the first table." Well, the party is in, as we all know, and the negro not only does not eat at the first table, but does not eat at all of Democratio food. If the Indiana negro has wisdom he will hold steadfastly to his old and tried friends. It is a vain hope expecting consideration at the hands of an avowed opposer of the race as evinced in all legislation that has arisen In the Nation relative to the granting of their rights as citizens. There is no measure in the Indiana Statutes to-day affecting the welfare of this people but is there by Refmblican conception and execution. There s no defeated legislation on the journals of Indiana legislation abridging and denying this people the boon of citizenship unfettered and uncircumscribed but what is there contrary to the strenuous ettorts of the Indiana Democracy, The negro, I say, should be wise and not allow himself to be led astray from his only political friends by sweet talk and sugared promises. The recent appointment of a worthy man is evidence enough to convince the most skeptical that the very fair and just thing will be accorded the negro for party loyalty if he will only exercise that patience which is requisite to insure proper respect aud consideration. Nella. Is di ANATOLI, Jan. 17. Grade Crossings of Railways, To the Editor ot the Indianapolis Journal: Nearly every morning paper startles ns with the announcement that some one or more persons have met death under the wheels of some flying train. These accidents occur at crossings, on bridges, or along the track. There is not a railroad thirty years old that has not caused enough accidents of this kind to make every mile of its length a tombstone. How long will this fearful waste of human life continue before the public will demand such legislation as will stop this slaughter of human beings? During six weeks' travel in Germany I did not hear of one such' accident. Pome may have happend, but the railroads in that country are so carefully managed that such accidents are rare. Every public crossing of much importance is over or under the railroad. All other crossings are strictly guarded. No one is allowed on the railroads, or to cross them, except at such crossings as are guarded; indeed there are no other crossings. The guard keeps the time of each, tram, and sometimes before the train is expected the guard shuts the gate and stands before it till the train passes. The gate is then opened to permit any one to cross till the next train is ' expected. This guard has care of the track a certain distance each way.and can arrest any one found on the track, or who attempts to cross it. The expense attending this care over the roads is less, it seems to me, than it would cost to pay for everyone who would be killed if the roads were managed as onrs are. These railroads belong to the government, or companies under government grants, and the owners of the roads are responsible to the people for all dam ages; they have authority to forbid anyone walking on the tracks or to cross them in any way than the one they specify. When our laws give the people proper protection by imposing proper penalties on the railroads for running over persons, and give the railroads a right to govern their roads in their own way. this shocking waste of human lives will cease. With such laws all much traveled highways will go over or under the tracks, as is the case in most of Europe, and the others will be safely guarded. J. W. Hervey. Indianapolis, Jan 17.

The rivalry between the trade and the literary interests in Chicago has been wonderonsly keen this t inter. Prof. Fowtwinc. the most eminent of our statisticians, figures that we now have in tho midst of ns either a poet or an author to every square yard within the corporate limits, and he estimates that in ten years' time we shall have a literary output large enough to keep all the rest of the world reading all the time. Our trade has been increasing too. Last September SS2.09S cattle were received, against 330.9SM in September of 1SS0. So far this year the increaso over 1SS0 in , the receipt of hogs is 2,000.000.

FREE-TRADE RUBBLE BURST.

Indications of Returning Sanity Among People Who Were Crazy in November. Joseph Nimmo, la New York Tribune. The Democratic leaders and the Democratio press of the country are exhibiting an intense nervons solicitude lest the political panic of last November shall fail to be regarded as the deliberate judgment of tho country upon the taritf question; and they have abundant reason for such solicitude. The apprehension of a rise iu prices as a result of the enactment of the SlcKinley bill was undoubtedly tho cause ot tho astonishing success of both the Democratic party and the Farmers' Alliance. 1 have just returned from a journey extending to the Pacific coast, and from Montana to New Mexico. In the course of this journey I have discovered what appears to me to be a perfect solution of the political phenomenon of last November. My information is derived from commercial travelers, who constitute in the aggregate about 50 percent, of the railroad passenger traftic of this Western country. These sharp-eyed commercial itinerants tell me that when the political campaign opened retail merchants all over the country had just laid in their fall and winter stocks of goods, and that from the trade instinct alonethey caught on to the cry, "Goods are going up in consequence of the McKinley bill," merely as r.n argument to work their goods off at the earliest possible moment. Republican in common with Democratic retail merchants all over the. country resorted to the trade stimalus. and every man of them was thus unconsciously and without the slightest political intent a more effective orator in turning votes and in keoping Republicans from voting than was the roost eloquent free-trade speaker on the stump. It was an argument which touched the pocket nerve and reached every family in the land. The result of this outcry, with the single motive of expediting sales, was as much a political casualty as was the fatal alliteration which fell from the innocent lips of Dr. Burchard in 184, but a hundredfold more effective. To-day the same venders of goods iind it answers their purpose to proclaim exactly the opposite story, "No rise in goods in consequence of the McKinley act," in order to work off" stock which is getting old. The political panic of last fall is a bubble which has burst, and the Democratic leaders of the country recognize the fact with unmistakable apprehension. Certain of the vagaries of thehort-lived craze which have come to my observation may be worth mentioning. While I was in Spokane Falls the McKinley bill ''struck the woodpile." A man who for years had brought wood down from the mountains at the usual price of $4 a cord announced one morning that the price had risen to $.'). When asked why, he answered, 'Well, yon know everything is gene np since the McKinley bill." But a few days later his sales fell off, aud he was glad to get back to the old price of 84 a cord. While I was at Tacoraa a dilapidated specimen of humauity, who had evidently been on an all-night debaucji, staggered one morning at daybreak into a low restaurant which runs all day and all night He called for coflee and doughnuts. From the time when a drunken roan's memory runneth not to the contrary four doughnuts had constituted a portion. But this time the waiter appeared with a cup of coffee and three doughnuts. "What do you mean by bringing me only three doughnuts!" exclaimed the surprised customer. "Why, sir," stammered the waiter, "you see since the McKin " Up sprang the irate customer, and seizing the waiter by the collar, exclaimed with an oath: . "Boy, if yon undertake to work that air racket on to me I'll knock your two eyes into one. Bring me that other doughnut." And the other doughnut came. My in formant assures me that no further attempt has been made to raise the price of doughnuts inTacoma. But already the country is awake to the realities of probably the most remarkable political delusion which has ever seized upon the minds of the American people. - I have to-day been informed by the two leading dry-goods lirms of Chicago, Marshall Field & Co. and C. B. Farwell & Co., that the price of cotton and woolen dress goods is almost exactly the same as at this time a year ago. Blankets and tianuels are also just about the same in price as last year. No rise. The cry of a rise in prices last fall for a short period caused a slight rise; but prices soon fell back again. Why. even the American tin-plate-maker is already able' to "smile superior to the Briton," and to the American free-trader, and to set the New York World in a towering rage. The patriotism of America is affronted by such ill-tempered efforts to deny the successes of American enterprise. - Edward Atkinson, the ablest statistican In the United States, whose facts are always on the side of protection, although in his dreams he occasionally smiles upon free trade, declares that the prices of goods have not advanced, while wages are now at the high-tide mark. Such early exposures of the utterly illusive character of tho November result have thrown ex-President Cleveland back upon his favorite and rather comical protest the immorality of a protective tariff and that, too, upon the occasion of a tribute to the memory of Andrew Jackson. It is only now and then that some scholastio doctrinaire attempts to extract a moral issue out of either protection or free trade; but these men always make themselves ridiculous, for tho tariff' question is evidently one of economics, giving rise to questions of expediency and not of ethics. If Mr. Cleveland is honestly befuddled on this point, and is sincerely desirous of being a follower of Andrew Jackson, he will gain much light by turning to President Jaokson's message to Congress of Deo 7, 1800. He will lind that the putative father of the Democratic party then and there distinctly declared that the power and the right to impose duties on imports for' protection to American industries was an essential attribute of State sovereignity, which upon tho adoption of our national Constitution passed to the general government. President Jackson treated with ill-concealed scorn the very doctrine now attempted to be promulgated by Mr. Cleveland, by declaring that if the general government were denied this right and power "our political system would present the anomaly of a people stripped of the right to foster their own industry, and to counteract the most destructive and aeltish policy which might be adopted by foreign nations." President Jackson also declared that in this view of the power and right of the national government to protect American industry by duties on imports he was sustained by the opinions of Presidents Washington, Jefferson, Madison and Monroe. The Republican party stands true to these views of the right and the duty to afford protection to American enterprise, as proclaimed by Andrew Jackson, and this doctrine will assuredly be inscribed upon its banners in 1802. Chicago, 111., Jan. 8. THE VICE-PRESIDENT. nis Close Attendance in the Senate Ills Appearance and Manner, T. C Crawford, in New York Tribune. Vice-president Morton is nearly always to be found in the chair in the Senate. He attends closely to bis duties tnere. This is contrary to the usual custom. A Vicepresident generally takee things easy. William A. Wheeler used to be away months at a time. He would have a President pro tem. elected, and then he would run away to some part of the country for a visit, lie was fond of fishing. Nearly every paragraph mentioning hitf departure from Washington would announce that he was going on a fishing trip. This was not always true, but it was the easiest way to explain his continued absences. There has been a littlespecnlation concerning the position of Mr. Morton upou some of the disputed questions in the donate. There should be no reason for this. There is no mystery about Mr. Morton's views. Naturally his position and education make him opposed to the free coinage of silver. Those who have represented him as being opposed to the elections bill were in error, lie was not in a position to advocate it; but from the vote of yesterday, if the passage of the bill should depend npon his vote in a tie contest, the measure would be passed. He believes in the harmony of his 'party and has never in the past acted outside of it. Mr. Morton n prompt in taking his place in the Senate. He comes in about four minutes before the Senate opens and generally holds a quiet levee before the Chaplain begins. Mr. Morton is tall, with a slight stoop. He has tne manners of a diplomate and is one of the most carefully dressed men in the Senate Chamber. He looks very much like his father, the Rev. Daniel Morton. His face issmooth-shaven, his eyes are a clear light blue, his nose is Koman, bis month is large and firm in its lines. His black frock-coat tits him with military precision and is buttoned up always tightly against a dark

cravat and high colar. He is precise in his manners, with something of the formality found in diplomatic life. Yet, in spite of this slight formality, he is popular through his wide hospitality and kindly appreciation of his associates. The entertainments given by the Mortons aie upon a scale of Sreat liberality, and the gatherings at their ouse in the winter are considered as enjoyable as any of the entertainments under any of the previous administrations.

INFIDELS IN POLITICS. The Leaders of the Kansas Revolution Are Mostly Non-Delievera. Topeka Correspondence Philadelphia Press. There are certain charactenstiss of the leaders of the People's party movement in this State which make their success in the recent campaign all the wore surprising. The rank and tile aro years behind the leaders in every principle of the movement. Kansas has heretofore been a State of intense religious feeling. The churches have been prominently identified with politics and the pastors have thought it incumbent upon themselves to deliver political sermons. The Methodist Church has formed the great strength of the Republican party. The German Catholic has been and is Democratic. This was due to the stand taken by the two old parties on the prohibition qnestion. All of the Protestant Chnrches, more especially in the cities, were forced to espouse the cause of the Republicans on account ot their advanced temperance ideas, and the Democratic light was necessarily directed against them. The men and women who sprang into prominence and managed the campaign for the People's party are, for the most part, free-thinkers and infidels. Some of them belong to the Unitarian Church and have such libberal ideas on orthodox questions that they have been led into a denunciation or the interference of the church in political matters, and consequently into a fight on tho chnrches themselves. Jerry Simpson, who made such a wonderful campaign in the Seventh congressional district, bad all of the power of the church directed against him. He did not attempt to conceal the fact that he is an unbeliever, but on the 6tump publicly declared that he gave religious questions no thought whatever, but addressed himself to those which he could nnderstand and htped to change. Mrs. M. E. Lease is an inhdel, and she is proud of it. She was by far tho most important factor in molding public sentiment in the campaign, and her philippics against the old parties stirred up the masses to such an extent that a calmer discourse would not be listened to. "The day has passed." she said, in conversation with a newspaper correspondent, "when it is a disgrace to be an inhdel. It means now that one is a broad thinker, and the people to whom the term is applied represent the advanced thought of the age." Mrs. Annie L. Diggs, the associate editor of the Alliance Advocate, belongs to the Unitarian Church, and so does Frank Doster, who is being groomed for United States Senator. But the day has passed when either recognizes anything more in Christianity than a broad humanity, and both are ready at all times to detend their positions. Mrs. Diggs, next to Mrs. Lease, was the most successful campaigner in the People's movement. She is a member of the Women's Christian Temperance Union, differing with Mrs. Lease on the prohibition question. Mrs. Diggs believes temperance is a virtue, . but her temperance work is a secondary matter, and the religious features of it have no attraction for her. Henry, Charles and William Vincent, three brothers, who own and edit the Winfield Non-Conformist, and Cyrus Corning, editor of the Workman, an Alliance paper, published at Eldorado, are cf the same religious belief as Jerry Simpson. Corning and the Vincents have been labor agitators for years, and have from the first been recognized leaders in the farmers' movement. The appeals made by the Republican central committee to the churchgoing element on the temperance question and the ready response of the pastors brought to the surface the elements which war on religion. The persons mentioned are only a few of the more important, but they represent the brains of the new movement. A crusade t gainst the existing order of things had to e made general in order to be successful. The country preachers at first were very pronounced in their advocacy of reforms in politics. They were candidates for congressional nominations, and in the Sixth congressional district five out of the seven candidates before the Alliance convention were preachers. Bnt it was not this element of the party which came to the front as the campaign progressed. These same people with their liberal religious views are without exception single-tax advocates. A Few Recipes. German Toast This is a simple dish that many are familiar with. Cut stale slices of bread half an inch thick; dipping first iu milk, allowing each slice to remain long enough to soak up some of it, then dip in beaten egg and fry brown in hot butter. Sprinkle with suger and a very little powdered cinnamon. Veal Loaf Two pounds of Teal boiled tender and chopped very tine, removing all gristle and fat, half small cup of meat broth, one cup fine bread crumbs, one egg beaten light, salt to taste, pepper also. Mix thoroughly and press into a square mold or bread pan. Place in the oven, and invert another pan over it. Bake nntil a rich golden brown. When cold, slice thin and make into sandwiches. Peach Brown Betty Stew a pound of evaporated peaches until tender and plump; place a layer of these in the bottom of a pudding dish, sprinkle them plentifully with sugar, and stew them quite thickly with fine bread crumbs, scattering a little cinnamon over this: then put another layer I of peaches, more sugar, crumbs and spice. and so continue until the dish is full. Just before adding the last layer, which should be of crumbs, pour in as much of the liquor in which the peaches wero stewed as the dish will hold without "lloating" the contents. After the top stratum of crumbs is in place, dot it wilh bits of butter; bake it covered for half an hour in a moderate oven, uncover and brown. Eat with hard sauce. How to Bake Meat The most perfectly baked meats are cooked as follows: Heat the baking-pan on the top of the stove until smoking hot; lay the roaston it and let the cnt surface sear and slightly brown: turn, and sear and brown the other side also. Put in a hot oven and baste only with its own gravy. Salt toughens the meat and has a tendency to extract the juices, and should not be added until just before the meat is. done. If the temperature of the oven is just right when the oven door is opened a gentle simmering and sputtering will go on; if it is too hot the drippiugs will burn and tho oven will be filled with smoke. An even, steady heat must be maintained to bake a piece of meat properly. The best ribs of beef are tho third and fourth for a roast from seven to nine pounds, and the third, fourth and fifth for a larger roast. Never have the bone taken out and the meat rolled; the meat loses in sweetness. Let your butcher saw across the under part of the ribs in one or two places, so that after tho meat has been seared on the cut sides it can stand in the pan, with the rim of fat upward. The searing process hardens the outside and thus retains the juices. Madame Ilrocbard'a Peculiar Cult. Boston Journal. ' ' The will of Madame Brochard, a believer in the doctrine ot metempsychosis, was lately contested in a court at Vouvray, France. From tho evidence adduced it apE eared that the lady, who was a-widow, elieved tirinly that her husband's soul had passed into the body of an omnibus horse, and the animal in question was accordingly the object of her special veneration, and even affection. She had also visions of the periodical descents from heaven of one of her relatives, whom she believed to be engaged in fulfilling the humble but useful functions of a postman for the celestial hierarchy. Madame Brochard had a special cult for great men of the past, whose spirits she frequently evoked; held imaginary conversations with them, and wrote from their dictation several profound treatises. Other eccentric actions were revealed. Tho will was broken. Vengeful Time. Chicago News. Time is a vengeful old fellow. He has waited all these years to even up with Charley Farwell for the fight that was made on Ulysses S. Grant ten years ago. Scipio's ghost need no longer walk among us; the wrong has been squared with compound interest. We cannot excuse people for being crois when they suffer from colds. They are often too mean to nny a bottle of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup, which would restore their good nature. Important! Salvation Oil, the greatest core on earth for pain, U only 25 ceuU.

BANCROFT LATER TEARS.

Ideal Life of the Aged nistorian In Ills Beautiful Home at Washington. The late George Bancroft's house at Washington is a beautiful home. The house is a three-story brick on 11 street, near that of the late millionaire Corcoran, and across the street from General Beale's. It is within a stone's throw of the White House, the Arlington and the Treasury, and is at the foot of fashionable Washington to-day. A wide hall divides the house, and on each side of thisare reception-rooms and parlors, and at the left end is the dining-room. The parlors are full of curious mementos from the different parts of Europe. There is a magnificent portrait of Kaiser Wilbelm, given to the historiau by tho German Emperor as a mark of esteem and affection. There below it is a present from Napoleon III. and beside this a little curiosity, which has the inscription, "Given to Mr. Bancroft as a mark of friendship;" and so it is throughout the several rooms. Another curiosity is Mrs. Bancroft's needlework and embroidery. One particular feature about this house of Bancroft's is its comfortable, home-like look. It seems as though it was made to be lived in and enjoyed. The elegant pictures on the walls, the plate-glass mirrors here and there do not give to it the cold and stately look you get from a visit to the house of many a shoddy millionaire. Hereevery thing seems for use, and the little home touches about everything throw a warmth about the whole. Bancroft's library is one of the finest privateollections in the United States. Every book of it is valuable, and it contains works in all the modern languages. There are over 12,000 volumes, and these are closely packed in the four large rooms which comprise the literary workshop of their owner. No display is made in the way of expensive cases for the books. They are kept in common shelves running along the wall, without covering of either glass or curtain. Here in winter, and at Newport in summer, the aged historian lived almost the ideal life, the routine of which was thus given recently by his valet: "Mr. Bancroft goes to bed very early, unless he is out at some entertainment, tie is generally asieep Defore 10 o'clock. He wakes very early, and works of ten before daj light. You seethe two candles on his night table. He commences work at 5 o'clock and keeps at it until breafast time, at 8:30, when he dresses and comes down stairs and has breakfast. Breakfast with him is a very light meal, consisting of some fruit, a cup of chocolate, an egg aud a roll. He eats nothing more until dinner, when he takes a good meal. He does hot think a man can do good brainwork on a full stomach. After breakfast he goes again to work and continues at it until between 1 and 2, when he receives his visitors. At 4:30 he goes out to ride, and comes back about 7. At this hour ho has dinner, after which he either chats, reads, or goes ont for the evening." He was fond of roses, and had some of the finest in the world. He loved books, painting and sculpture, and, above alL horse. Ho was an habitual and daring rider. Almost to the time of his death, Bancroft bad a frame of iron and a brain as bright as that of a youth. He was of middle height, lean and wiry. His thin, thoughtful face was lengthened by his long, silky beard of sable silver, and his thick gray hair was tombed back from a broad, high, brawny forehead. He had light-blue eyes and a complexion darkened by the winds of his daily horseback rides. He was, like most successful men, profoundly self-respectful. He liked to have people bow to him whether he knew them or not. Another thing that he was fond of was dining out. He was a welcome guest at any dinner-table in Washington, from the President's down. He had Sreat conversational powers and an abunant fund of anecdotes and recollections. He was entirely adequate to the entertainment of one end of any dinner-table. He told a story about a man who has been dead these fifty years as though he had been with us but yesterday. In the course of his long life he had held such positions at home and abroad as brought him into contact with the best, as well as the most prominent, men in the world. His memory was simply marvelous. It was full of well-arranged facta, faces and fancies, the accumulation of a busy, brilliant lifetime. GOULD AND HIS SOX. Pen Picture of the Two as They Appear on an Elevated Train. Blakeiy Hall. In Brooklyn Eagle. 1 have read a good deal in the papers about Mr. Gould's ill health and general physical decay which had set in with him, and when he entered an elevated train yesterday and sat down opposite me with his son George, I looked at him with some curiosity. He has grown thin and old in looks. There is no doubt about that; but he has gained a look of alertness and a quickness of movement which formerly did not distinguish him. The sinister look has disappeared from his face entirely, aud his rapidly whitening, beard and hair gave him almost a benevolent countenance. He smiled frequently and with great good humor as he talked with his son. The latter has grown stout and is a perfect counterpart of the Cubans, whom one sees behind cigar stands. He is stocky, powerfully built and solemn. The oontrast between a profound and thoughtful looking son and the amiable aud chatting father was very strong. Mr. Gould only came a shade above Georgo's shoulder and George Gould is very short for a man. The great millionaire nodded in a goodnatured fashion to half a dozen brokers in different parts of the car. The brokers who had all been waiting for recognition with breathless anxiety took off their hats and bowed with extreme respect. After they had taken off their hats clear from their heads and put them on again Mr. Gould touched the rim of his own nat with his finger. The action was significant It seemed to say to everybody that ho did not care to have men raise their hats to him, but that he would acknowledge the courtesy in kind, if it was necessary. Everybody seemed to know Mr. Gould and bis son. The railroad guards threw the gates open and stood aside and the passengers waited nntil they had passed out, and even the necessity of catching trains at Forty-second street did not lead commuers to rush in front of the two tranquil little men. Everybody whispered "there goes Jay Gould and his son George," and then people stood still and watched them pass by. There is no doubt that our aristocracy will be one of money if we ever have one in America. E3IMA ABBOTT'S CHARITY. An Instance Where Iler Kindly Ministrations Gave New Hope to a Fellow-Creature. . Chicago News. In his eloquent sermon in Central Music Hall last Sunday eveuiug the lie v. Dr. Guusaulus narrated a timely aud afiecting incident. He told of the case of a young woman who called upon him for consolation and encouragement, tihe had been indiscreet, but not bad, yet her indiscretion had made her the target of cruel and slanderours tongues, and the pastor found her wellnigh heart-broken. IS'o words he could tied to say seemed to assuage her grief, yet the girl's case was so peculiarly sad that he determined to continue-his visits, in the hope that his honest sympathy and interest might in time have the consolatory effect he desired. One day he found this girl a changed creature. She was smiling and happy. A new life, a new hope appeared to have been breathed into her. "I have been visited," she said, "by a woman who talks like a saint and sings like an angel." Upon further inquiry the pastor learned that the woman who had called to succor the fainting spirits of the wronged girl, and who had by the sweetness of her ministrations effected tbe cure he had so long and vainly sought to effect, was Emma Abbott, tho opera-singer. Many, very many incidents similar in character to that narrated by the pastor of Plymouth Church might be told of the dead singer. Emma Abbott's life was asfnllof charitable deeds as her beart was full of sympathetic impulse. She did in secret, and rejoiced in the opportunity of giving succor in such wise as neither to wound the pride of her beneficiaries nor to dull the purpose of her charity by ostentation. Emma Abbott wears in her coffin a part of the handsome veil which in tbe last ten years she was wont to wear in her performance of Juliet This veil she bought in Paris, and she thought much of it. It was white, tine net. spangled with gold, and, presumably, the wearer kissed it a thousand times in the famous balcony scene. She used to call it her mascot, for the reason that fortune favored her from the moment she possessed herself of the article. After Miss Abbott's death half of this veil was used to deck her for the grave. The other half was cut into fragments for distribution among the members of her opera company. Each of her old associates now has a tiny" bit of this gossamer veil as a precious souvenir of the departed singer. Bimmoxr Liver Regulator has never known to fail to cure sick headacne. been
