It is a most deplorable state of things, because with relief comes demoralization, and the whole thin might have been easily prevented had the advice of tho-e who understand the question been taken last year." GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. European Princes Not Ahore Hiring Themscire Out for Advertising Purposes. London, March 25. The question asked in Parliament by Mr. Labouchere, relative to the steamers between Great Britain and the continent for conveying: distinguished persons has brought out the interesting fact that do charge whatever is made for snch conveyance, but that, on the contrary. the various steamship lines are eager rivals for the honor of con veymgroyal and princely rersonages without any charge whatever, t is said that at least one of Queen Victoria's German impecunious sons-in-law has turned a quiot penny by favoring a certain line of boats in his journeys between England and the continent, his arrangement or implied understanding with the company being that he shall make himself and the princess as conspicuous as possible daring the voyage, thus advertising the steamship lines. , Mr. Mori e j on the 'Witness-Stand. Cork, March 25. During the second day of the trial to-day, Miehael O'Brien Dalton and others who are charged with riotous conduct at the time of the trial at Tipperary of Messrs. William O'Brien and John Dillon, Mr. John Morley was one of the witnesses examined. Mr. Morley deposed that the action of the police, under Colonel Cadd!l, who was In command of the detachment of constabulary at Tipperary npon the day of the riot, was a most unwarranted attack upon the people. The Tipperary court - house, said Mr. Morley. was, comparatively peakingvempty when the people outside attempted to gain admittance with the view to being present at the examination of Messrs. O'Hrien and Dillon, In spite of this, added, Mr. Morley, and apparently without any just reason, the police on duty refused to allow even the most respectable and well-known people to enter the court-house. Mr. Morley declared that there was no stone-throwing or violence. In an amusing cross-examination, Mr. Morley said that, judging from the English standard, the crowd was harmless. Ills Judgment Was1 Poor. Gibraltar, March 25. The Marine Court, which has been inquiring into the loss of the Anchor line steamer Utopia, which sank in Gibraltar bay during the night of March 10, after, having been impaled on the spur cf the ram of the British war ship Anson, decided to-day that Captain McKeafjue, commander of the Utopia, was gui'.ty of a grave error of judgment in Attempting to enter the anchorage behind the new mole witboat knowing what vessels were there at anchor. The conrv also decided that Captain MoKeague was guilty of a grave error of judgment in attempting to turn the Utopia out of the anchorage across the Anson's bow. The Marine Court was unanimously of the opinion tn its decisions given above sufficiently marked the court's rinding. Therefore, the court came to the conclusion that it was not necessary to deal with the question as to whether or not Captain McKeague's certificate as master should be suspended or canceled. Uealy's Teeth Knocked Out. . Cork, March 25. It now transpires that Mr. Timothy D. Healy'a injuries, resulting from the asult made npon him on Monday lastin the dressing-room of the Victoria Hotel by Mr. Michael O'Brien Dalton, are not confined to the damage done to his right eye by th breaking of his spectacles beneath Mr. Dalton's blow. Mr. Healy, it seems, has also lost live of his teeth from a second blow received from his assailant. While Mr. Alexander Blane. Parnelhte member of Parliament tor South Armagh, aud a number of other I'arnellites were go Ing to Duuamore to-day to attend a meeting there of Mr. ParnelFs supporters, they were mobbed by a crowd of Nationalists.

They were followed by a storm of hooting and jeering upon the part of the Nationalists. . Are the Talleyrand Memoirs Rogjns? Paris, March 23. The novelist "Gyp" Comtesse De Martel do Join ville, and her mother, Comtesse Mirabeau, declare they assisted their relative, M. Bacourt, to arrange a copy of the Talleyrand manuscripts. which would have filled fifteen volumes. They state that M. Bacourt admitted that it was impossible to publish this matter until the statesmen of his generation were dead, and regretted that be himself could not live to witness the explosion which their publication would cause. The two ladies ridicule the idea that the recently-published Tallyerand 'memoirs" are genuine. They are of the opinion that the original materials were altered by Admiral and Cnatelin, to whom M. Bacourt left them. They absolve the Duo DeBrogle from blame in the affair.

WOMEN ATTHEWORLD'SFAIE

Design for a Building That Will Cost Two Hundred Thousand Dollars. 3Ii8 Harden, of Boston, Awarded First Prize for the Best Plan Invitations to Make Displays Accepted by England and Spain. CniCAGO, March 25. For the woman's, world's-fair buildings thirteen designs by women have been submitted, and the selection has been narrowed down to three, all of the Italian renaissance style of architecture. They are said to be exceptionally fine. The cost of the proposed structure is fixed at $200,000. To-night the award was made. Miss Sophia G. Hayden, of Boston, wins the $1,000 prize offered for the best design for the woinans' building of the world's fair. Miss Louise Howe, also of Boston, takes second prize, $-"0, and Miss Laura Hayes, of Chicago, gets the $250 offered for the third best design. Miss Hayden is a first honor graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, aud Miss Howe is from the same institution. Miss H ayes is Mrs. Potter Palmer's private secretary. As soon as the awards were made. Miss Hayden was wired to come to Chicago immediately and elaborate her plans. Her design is one of marked simplicity. It is in the Italian renaissance style, with colonades broken by center and end pavilions. It is to be two hundred by four hundred feet, and fifty to the cornice. There is no dome. The chief feature of ornament is the entrance. Mrs. Palmer and her colleagues are well pleased with the results of the competition and feel sure the woman's building will be a very effective illustration of woman's ability to successfully design great structures. Jochi Takimine, of Tokio, Japan, wishes xo exhibit a Japanese tea-garden at the exposition, and he comes backed with $00,000 and the banking tin a of Mitsui & Co., of Tokio, to carry out the project. He asks the privilege of putting up a number of Japanese buildings, aud in the main one he will have a hall with suitable seating capacity. Here he proposes to have Japanese dancing girls ana Oriental exhibitions. In a restaurant will be served pure Japanese tea, birds-nest soup and other dishes of the empire of the Mikado. The grounds will be ornamented with Japanese plants and flowers, and in the buildings will be quaint and curious exhibits, Mr. Takimine was the Japanese commissioner to the -New Orleans exposition. It is a curious fact that the first action taken by any foreign nation in connection with ihe celebration of the four hundredth anniversary of the discovery of America should be by the republic of San Domingo, on which was located the first settlement of Spaniards in the new world. Honduras Will 3Iake a Display. Washington, March 25. Capt. Gilbert P. Cotton, of the United States army, special commissioner to Honduras in the interest of the World's Columbian Exposition, reports that after a ride of ninety-three miles on mule-back he reached Tegucigalpa, the capital, on Feb. 23, in company with the United States consul, was received by President Bogran. to whom he presented the invitation of President Harrison, and made an address explaining his mission. The President replied in the most encouraging manner, welcoming Captain Cotton to the republic, and expressing the interest of the government and people in the object of his mission. The President stated that Honduras accepted the invita tion of the President of the United States to participate in the exposition with tbe greatest pleasure, and that the rcpublio woula be represented at Chicago by a full exhibit of its resources and products. On the following day President Bogran appointed Dr. R. F. Fritz Gartner, the government geologist and inspector-general of mines, and a scientist of high reputation, as special commissioner for Honduras to the Columbian exposition, and gave him instructions to report at once a plan for a building and an exhibit for Hontluras,with an estimate as to the ainouut of money necessary. Dr. Fritz Gartner was tho commissioner from Honduras to the New Orleans exposition, and collected nnd installed the display made there, which was, next to Mexico, the finest of any of the American republics. He alno prepared the exhibit at the Paris exposition. Col. F. T. Hilder, a citizen of the United States, will assist Dr. Fritz Gartner. Germany Preparing: to Make a Display. Berlin, March 25, A conference in which anumber of prominent German manufacturers took part and at which the Chicago world's fair and the prospects of Germany being represented there were discussed, occurred here to-day. The manufacturers concurred in the belief that a representation worthy of the German empire could only be obtained if the government sent a commissioner to the United states' ith power to insure to the manufacturers of Germany who might contemplate exhibiting all .the advantages which German industry was entitled to. Another meeting will be held soon to arrange a plan for inakiug a complete exhibit. England and Spain Accept the Invitation. London, March 25.

A dispatch from Madrid says Spain has also accepted the invitation. CAR-WHEEL-JIAKER5 IN TROUBLE. A Whitney & Son, of Philadelphia, an Old Firm, Financially Embarrassed. Philadelphia, March 25. The firm of A. Whitney & Son, car-wheel manufacturers, are financially embarrassed. The firm is now composed of John R. and James S. Whitney, the surviving sons of the founder. Rumors of the embarrassment of the firm were confirmed by James 8. Whitney. Air. Whitney declined to give any details of the matter beyond admitting the bare fact. He said that what details the public was entitled to would be given out in a few days. The car-wheel-works wero founded by Asa Whitney in 184S. When the works were built they were among the finest in tbe country. An immense trade was soon built np and the works were in a flourishing condition. The founder died, however, about ISTJ.leaving.an estate estimated at $1,000,000, and the management of the concern fell to three sons. George, John R. and James S. After the death of the father it was found that he had left a largo dower to his daughter who had married Bishop Howe, of Reading. This dower was secured in the manufactory. A couple of years or more ago, it was found that the interest on this inheritance had not been regularly paid and an appeal was made to the courts. An order was made awftesaing the unpaid interest and the plant is said to have been mortgaged to secure its payment. George Whitney died in 1&5, leaving an estate valued at j. OJ.000. John R. Whitney had also retired from the tirin. but at the time of placing tho mortgage ho was constrained to come back into it and is now the senior member. Since then tho works have been doing a fair business, but have been continually falling behind the younger establishments. They have not sold to the main railroad lines, but most of their wheels have cone to small Southern roads. Last year tho rating of the tirm by tho commercial agencies was cut down to between SC0O.0OU and $.300,000, but their credit was good at that amount. When seen to-day the members of the embarrassed firm declined to make any I i : a i : Jim... yv iiaiciuuud luiai uiuk men uiiucuiues. is was learned from authentic sources that a mortgage of SCOu.000 had been placed upon the plant to satisfy the unpaid interest or dower rights of the daughter of thefounder of the works, deceased. The plant.

which is a very extensive, one, is assessed at $410,000. A meeting or tbe firm's creditors has been called for next Tuesday. Quarreling Stockholders. Pierre. S. D., March 25. The Capital Investment Company, generally known over the State as the Woonsocket company, and whose influence was great in deciding the contest for the State capital, is in trouble. At the election on March 17 the old board and officers were routed and Car penter and Reed respectively elected president and secretary. They held proxies for a majority of the stock. Lumley nnd Erwin. former president aud vice-president, refused to give up office, claiming illegality, and still retain all books and records. The direct break was caused by the assignment of Carpenter's claim for &4.000 back wages to Bennett, an oiticer who has obtained judgment for the same. This judgment Lumley and Erwin will contest, aud further ask that a receiver be appointed. The company has stockholders all over the State. The stock was 810. divided into two classes A, paid up, and B, with 1 paid down. There are about nine thousand shares of this stock, upon which only $1 has ever been paid. Th assets of tbe company, as furnished by the new officers, amount to over $108,000; liabilities, 13,000. The assets include three hundred acres of lard in or near Pierre. Carpenter and Reed claim that the old officers Lumley, of Armour, president; Ryan, of White Lake, secretary; Erwin, of Gratan, vice-president, and Hinds, of Woonsocket. treasurer robbed the eompany of over $50,000 each, and are now attempting, to wreck it. Lumley and Ryan have published a notice warning the people not to payjany money to the officers. Poor Showlnjc of Assets. Louisville, Ky.. March 25. The official statement of Theo.

Norfolk, Va., March 25. The steamer which went ashore a mile below Chicamicomico life-saving station on the North Carolina coast yesterday morning is the British steamship Straitharly, bound from Santiago de Cuba to Baltimore. Out of a crew of twenty-six nineteen were lost, including all tho officers except the second mate. The steamer will be a total loss. It is difficult to imagine a more desolate coast than that upon which the unfortunate steamship Straithairly was wrecked. For a hundred miles south from Cape Henry thero extends a strip of sand cast up from the sea and separated from the main land by many miles of broad salt sounds. Sometimes this strip broadens to a width of a few miles and then shrinks to a mere thread of gray sand. The inhabitants are few in number, scattered in solitary dwellings and without means of communication with the world save the occasional oyster sloop or fishiugboat that at irregular intervals cruise along the sounds. Their living is derived from the sea and the strip is nearly barren of vegetation. On tbe sea side long sand-bars run out and reefs abound, so that the vessel wrecked upon this coast is sure to strike at a distance from the shore 'and be speedily torn to pieces by the tremendous Hatteras surges that nave made the vicinity the dread of navigators for a century and has strewn tbe white beaches with the timbers of Dumherless vessels and countless sailors. The life-saving service is of the best in the country, but owing to the character of the coast the most useful of their appliances the life-line thrown from a gun enn rarely be used, and the crews are ompelled to rely largely upon their surf-boats, which they manage to launch and land with marvelous dexterity in the fierce surf which constantly rolls up on the beaches and bars.

Itescaed in a Dying Condition. London, March 26. The steamer Don has landed at Plymouth the crew of the German bark Humboldt, who, when rescued, had suffered terrible hardships, and were in a dying condi tion. The Humboldt sailed from Alteta, Mexico, on the Gulf of California, in September last, bound to Falmcuth. On the voyage the crew was stricken with scurvy, and they became so weak that they were almost insensible. Their teeth loosened and their skins became swollen and livid. When spoken by the Don the Hnmboldt was in a disabled condition and sinking, and all her boats had been smashed. Two of the crew were already dead. The survivors were so exhausted that they ha'd to be hoisted aboard the Don. They had been ill for three months. . Movements of Steamers. New York, March 25.

The Company Says It lias Won a Victory and Has Enough Employe. New York, March 25. A representative of the Clark Thread Company at Newark, N. J., in conversation with a reporter today, said: "You would be justified in givmc publicity to the fact that the company has declared a victory over the strikers in the present troubles, and so far as the company is concerned the strike is at an end. The public may continue to support the old men in their idleness just as long as it sees fit to do so, but that they will ever come back to work in the mills under any circumstances is an absolute impossibility. The men who, for almost a quarter of a century, have earned a comfortable living out of this concern have thrown away their lust chance, and the mills will now go on as usual. We have all the spinners we can find room for, and the girls are at work on full time. In a few days the Jersey City police will be withdrawn, their presence no longer being considered necessary." Asked to Accept a Reduction. t Scottdale, Pa.. March 25. A sensation was created in labor circles to-night by the McClure Coke Company posting notices at all their plants in the region, that they desire their men to start to work in the morning at what is understood to be equivalent to a 7 per cent, reduction, with the assurance that the rate will not fall lower than 81 per hundred bushels. They offer a sliding scale and state that if the price of coke increases to $2.15, they will pay their men the old rates. This company employs 3.000 men and is the second largest concern in the region. Labor agitators are being sent out to admonish the men to refuse the offer which is peculiarly fascinating in view of the poverty stricken condition of the miners. . Weavers Qa it Work. Providence, R. I., March 25. The weavers in the Atlantio mill No. 16, complained of the new fines system to-day, and left their work, about 150 out of 187 quitting their looms. At 2:30 o'clock two hundred weavers left No. 2 mill. A meetings of weavers was held in the Olney Cadets' Armory at 2:20 o'clock. One of the Atlantio company's managers, when approached by the strikers, said that those who were dissatisfied could leave. The Rochester Lockout. Albany. N. Y., March 25. The State Board of Mediation and Arbitration to-day submitted a special report to the Legislature on the lockout of cutters by the Rochester Clothiers Exchange. They condemn the boycott and suggest that the laws should be amended with a view to harmonizing the relations of and dispute between employers and the wage-earning masses. Waylaid and Killed. Homer, La., March 2."). To-day, about noon. J. D. Tuggle and K. N. Glover were waylaid and killed at Beaver-creek bridge, three milts from this place. There is no clew as to the assassins. Hill's Offense More than a Crime. Is ew York Press. A correspondent who thinks that Mr. Hill is always right, asks us if we call it a crime to hold two offices simultaneously. We do not, but we think it is what Talleyrand considered worse than a crime a mistake.

CARNEGIE AND THE IS. X 0. He Would Not Accept the Presidency Under Any Consideration No Franchises Needed.

New York, March 25. Andrew Carnegie was interviewed here to-night concerning the B. & O. scheme and said: "By the exchange of Pittsburg & Wr stern and Baltimore & Ohio stock the latter company did obtain a through linsr ficm Baltimore to Chicago much shorter and better than the Pennsylvania, and it needs no additional franchises from Pittsburg, as it already has a bridge over the Allegheny that connects its line with the Pittsburg & Western. The line is ready to begin handling through freight. An for my accepting the presidency of a railroad or anything else, when I do so it will be accounted for by one thiug, softening of tbe brain. 1 would not be president of anything 1 did not own or control. 1 would not be the servant of any corporation. I am glad, however, that this exchange has given the Baltimore . & Ohio an alliance with the principal manufacturing firms of Pittsburg. They will do all they can to promote the interests of the new line.( The B. & O. has at last found an able president in Mr. Mayer and as long as he can be induced to serye it is not likely that any change will' be made. Let it be understood that this movement is in no way inimical to the Pennsylvania. There is plenty of room for both. The trouble is that the Pennsylvania simply cannot do the business. Tbe distance fiom Pittsburg to Chicago by tbe B. & O. is the same as the Fort Wayne road, the distance from Pittsburg to Baltimore is seventy miles shorter than by way of the Pennsylvania. PAI I0UR TAIL0JL Gentlemen Who Failed to Do So Held Up to Ridicule Unpaid Bills Sold at Auction. New York,' March 25. There was quite an exciting scene at the Real-estate Exchange in this city to-day when Martin F. Hatch, acting for the Merchant Tailors' Society, stood with gavel in hand before a crowd of several hundred prominent business and society men and sold to tbe highest bidder about thirty-five unpaid tailor bills. These bills bore the names of wellknown New Yorkers, and those who did not seize the opportunity to pay up before the sale were held up to public ridicnle. The lucky lellows who could settle up had their names stricken from the list. The ridiculousness of the sale can be realized when several bills amounting to seven hundred odd dollars were sold in a bunch to a Jew tailor for $1. FATAL RAILROAD COLLISIONS. One Man Killed and Five Seriously Injured in a Wreck at Racine, Wis. Milwaukee, March 25. A serious wreck occurred on the Northwestern road at Racine Junction, last night, by which one man was killed, two dangerously hurt and three others more or less injured. A mail car, baggage car and five freight cars were destroyed by fire. The pecuniary loss is estimated at $50,000. The collision occurred at midnight between a north-bound Chicago & Northwestern passenger train and . a south-bound freight train on the same line. The latter train consisted of sixty-four cars, and was under such headway that it could not be checked sufficiently to allow side-tracking. Both trains came together on the main track at the depot, with the above result. Following is a list of the victims: Willis Andrews, of Fond du Lac, fireman of the freight train, killed; John Grobben, of Milwaukee, passenger fireman, scalded so badly that he died a few hours later; Martin Rao, of Milwaukee, freight engineer, probably fatally injured; Dennis . Burke, of Milwaukee, passenger engineer, dangerously injured, and there is but little hope of his recovery: L T. De Silva. of Chicago. ..express messenger, badly bruised; J. Bower, m ty a. 111 : -a " 01 .cvausiou, iii., ussiBi.au ii express messenger, burned and cut. In tbe safe of the American Express Company was 10,000 in currency, for Northern banks, from Chicago. So intensely hot did the fire become that when the safe was opened at noon, to-day, half the currency was found burned to ashes and the other half partially burned. The express company will lose about $5,000 of the money. Enough can be saved out of tbe other half to insure its redemption. Several thousand dollars of jewelry was melted and run into one lump. The United States Express Company also lost a large amount of money. Not a pound of express or mail was saved. Collision During a Snow-Storm. Sutton, Neb., March 25. The "flyer" on the Burlington road crashed into the rear end of a stock train, four miles east of town, at 4:30 this morning, whilerunningat the rate of fifty miles an hour. It was snowing hard at the time and the "flyer" bad two engines pushing a snow-plow. The stock train was not seen by the engineer of the passenger until the trains were twenty feet apart. The snow-plow ran under six cars loaded with cattle, throwing them to the rightandleftof the track. The seventh car landed on top of the engine. The second engine was thrown twenty-five feet to the side of the track and fell on its side, crushing and instantly killing engineer Roberts, of Flattsmouthv Henry Udell, his fireman, was caught in the wreck and steam literally cooked his legs, arms and back. The passenger coaches left the track, but were not overtnned, and none of the passengers was injured. It is said tbe cause was the wrong order given by the traindispatcher. The cattle in the car which landed on top of the engine were released by building a bridge twenty-five feet long and driving the animals down. Only one steer was hurt. Two. Firemen Killed. Richmond, Va., March 25.

FORTY DAYS WITHOUT EATING. Faith-Curist Beats the Record by Fasting and Working at the Same Time. Pittsburg, Pa., March 25. Eva Brannock, a faith-curist, "and incidentally a teacher of music in the Bethany Home, has just finished a successful forty days' fast. This lady, who is a religious enthusiast, was struck by the fact that whenever and wherever she opened the Bible there was found a command to fast. This coincidence proved too much for either her superstition or religion, and she began a forty-day fast, which differed from all others in that she attended to her regular duties as teacher and keeper of a certain number of rooms in the home. Her fast ended to-day, and yesterday, the thirty-ninth day, Miss Brannock gaily walked to the market and purchased a feast, which she as joyfully cousumed and which did not harm her in the least. There is no doubt as to the lady's having lived forty days on nothing but water, as the story is substantiated by such prominent people as Mrs. Frances Swift, of tbe National W. C. T. U., Rev. and Mrs. Morrow, and others who have had opportunity of seeing for themselves. In opposition to this is tbe case of Elmer Collins, who fasted thirty days in a theatre here. He is no believer in faith-cure, and is now in a dangerous condition from over-eating. FELL FIVE HUNDRED FEET. Horrible Death of Four Men in a Kansas Salt Mine prashed Into Palp.

Dark Outlook for Bachelors. New York WorlJ. The recent uprising in Kansas has turned the Female Thinker loose. She takes all tbe credit to herself for the political revolution, and the farmer who did the voting simply did as she told him to. Thero his responsibility ends and he can, betake himself attain to his bees and cows. The Female Thinker now talks of tbe marriage relation and the possible effect her "new emancipated condition" will have upon it. In her opinion men will have great trouble hereafter to get wives. For instance. Susan B. Anthony says: "The woman of the future is not going to snatch at everything that passes for a man because it draws a salary." Lillie Deverenx Blake says: "Woman's progress interferes with marriage and .makes stria fastidious." aa4

Prohibition Prospects In New York. Philadelphia Press. The prospect of an agreement In the New York Legislature as to tbe time of submitting a prohibitory constitutional amend xnent to a vote of tbe people in that State does not appear bright. The resolution, as it passed last year, named the 12th of April. 1S91, as tbe date for the election, but as no appropriation was made tbe election cannot beheld unless the present Legislature) votes the necessary money. Tbe Republican Senate passed a bill for this purpose some time ago, but the Democratio Assembly will not consent to appropriate money unless the date for tbe election is changed to next November. The Democrats hope to gain a political advantage in the gubernatorial campaicnof this year if they can succeed in postponing or defeating the amendment election. They will probably succeed in preventing any vote being taken, and the political Prohibitionists will repay the Democrats by continuing to run separate tickets in all close b tales and legislative districts. What Great Britain Would Do. Ex-Mlnister Phelps, In April Harper. If the case of tbe Alaskan seal fishery was reversed: if Great Britain was the proprietor of it. and American poachers wero attempting its extermination, as a pretended incident to the freedom of tbe sea; if a remonstrance addressed to our government had elicited tho admission that tho acts complained of ought to be restrained, but that tbe government, for political reasons was unable to ellect it, it is perfectly certain that the subject would pass very speedily out of tbe domain of speculations in abstract international law, nnd our government would be apprised that if unable to restrain its citizens from an outrage upon British rights which it did not assume to defend, the necessary measures would be taken by the injured party to protect itself. Homes vs. Saloons. Kokomo Gazette-Tribune. Tbe Democratio Legislature had the choice of an increased saloon tax or an increased home tax, aud chose tbe latter. Tbe SState tax might have been decreased 0 cents on the hundred, instead of increased that amount, if tbe Democratic Legislature had felt less regard and reverence for the saloon. One of the Ilesnlts. Boston Globe. The young German Emperor is to publish the life of bis grandfather. What floods of nauseating llattery and hypocrisy this will call for on the part of the Uermaa book reviewers who, sitting in tbe shadows of jails, are bound to see tbe young man through. Pleasures of Imagination. Ne-w Tort Prews. Well, old fellow, how are you and how la yoni- health!" ... "I felt first rate an hour ago, but Iv'e just been reading a patent medicine advertisement and I feel now almost at death1 door." The World Will Now Ureatha Easier. Springfield Republican. It is necessary for a complete chroniele of the events that are shaping political history, to record that Cleveland has finally congratulated Gen. Palmer on his election to the Senate. i i That's What Cincinnati Would Do. Chicago Inter Ocean. A New York paper wants a beer garden built over the water reservoir. Why not substitute the beer vat for tho water tank! The Man McKlnley Wants, Washington Post. Major McKinley told a Rochesterroporter that Hon. Ko-er Q. Mills is hit choice for Speaker of the next House
