Justice Field Said to De Causing the Delay Ills ItcnsonH. WASHINGTON', Oct. 12. -An explanation of the delay of the Senate committee of Judiciary, in acting upon the nomination of William B. Hornblower, to be an associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, may possibly be found outside of the facts that Senator Hill is a member of the Judiciary committee and that Mr. Hornblower Is a friend of President Cleveland. It has been developed, since the nomination twas sent to the Senate, that Justice Stephen J. Field, of the Supreme Court, was a bitter and persistent opponent of Mr. Homblower's appointment, and It Is possible that hevhas not yet become reconciled to It In August last, when the announcement was first made that Mr. Hornblower would probably be the choice of President Cleveland for the vacancy caused by the death of Justice Blatchford, Judge Field opened his batteries on him, and used every endeavor to convince the President that Mr. Homblower's appointment would not be a proper one. Judge Field wrote letters to Chief Justice Fuller, Secretary Gresham, Don M. Dickinson, and other clDse friends of Mr. Cleveland, urging them to prevent the contemplated appointment. If possible. The chief point in Justice Field's attack was that Mr. Homblower's law partner, Mr. Barstow, Is retained by the Illinois Central Railroad Company, to secure a reopening of the celebrated Chicago lake front case, which was decided by the Supreme Court, adversely to the company, last spring. In his letters, Justice Field pointed out that, as Mr. Barstow had taken a heavy retainer fee from the rail?vad company, his law partner, Mr. Hornblower. would, necessarily, be inclined to lean towards the corporation side of the lake front case, should It come before the court again, as It probably will In the course of time. These letters of Justice Fill's have been preserved, and, possibly, they are responsible, jn a measure at least, for the failure of the Senate to act on Mr. Homblower's nomination, notwithstanding the very great importance of havingr a full bench at the present session of the court.

A Story of Poet, Poet-Sonts and "Wild "Western Playfulness. Opie Read, In Fetter's Southern Magazine. Capt. Jack Crawford, the poet scout; Col. Will Vlsscher, a poet without being a Bcout; and Wild Bill, a scout without being n poet, were playing cards in a Black Hills saloon, when a swashbuckling bully from the plains entered the place. He had Just broke a faro bank, and was therefore wealthy; he had Ju3t shot out a man's eye, and was therefore gleeful. When he entered the place he struck the bar with his hit, and swore that every man must take a drink. Wild Bill said that he didn't mind taking something, and Visscher made no objection whatever, but Crawford remarked that he did not drink. "But." said he, "to be sociable, I will take a cigar with you." Tha swashbuckler looked at him scornfully and said: "No, you'll, not take a cigar." "Well, then, I'll take a lemonade." "You'll not do that; you'll take whisky." "Rut," Crawford protested, "1 never took r. drink of whisky In my life." "Well, then, it's time to take one.' Come on here," and he laid rude hands on Crawford's garments. Then Wild Bill mildly protested. At this the terror of the plains Hew into a fit of fury. "Do you want to take it up?" he howled. It was cvMent that he was not personally acquainted with BUI. "Well, yes, as I haven't anything else on hand at present, I believe that I feel a little like taking it up;" and with that he knocked the fellow down.. And now the swashbuckler, though on the floor, was in bis plory he had an excuse to indulge his sentimental yearning for slaughter; and he reached for his pistol. But with a nv ;cment flash-like in its quickness Bill had 1 .m covered with an iron that had killed twenty men. At this moment a man who had just entered the saloon quietly remarked: "Helloa, Wild Bill's got another sucker." "Hold on!" the terror howled. "Are you Wild Bill T' "That's what they call me." "Well now, I want to say that your friend may take wa what he pleases. And to show you that I'm sorter sociable inclined I'll take a lemonade myself." This incident appealed to the quick Instincts of Visscher. He was a tenderfoot, and was thtrefore Impressionable. A few days later he was In a mining town, broke. Honor could take care of itself, but appetite must be humored. The truth is, he wanted a great deal of "llcker," and he wanted It at once. He went to several saloons, but no one asked him to drink, and he was too proud to' hint that, he ought to be Invited. That was where honor was the enemy of appetite. A thought struck him; an Idea nimbly tripped across his poetic fancy. He recalled the Wild Bill Incident, and he would turn it to account. He went Into a saloon and sat down near a table; he threw himself back and began to talk. "Fine lot of people out here," he declared. "Gallant and determined gang of men. I saw a rough just now force a poor fellow to take a drink of whisky. I'd like to see a man try that game on me; catch me pouring ptuff down my throat merely to gratity the whim of a fool. There's nobody in this town that can make me take a drink. I've come here to foster the Murphy movement." A lank cowboy turned from the bar and gave Visscher a searching look. "My friend," said he, "ain't you putty bold?" "You bet I'm bold." "And you won't take a drink?" "No, I won't." "Do you want to know what you'll do? You'll just take six right now. Coma here." He drew his revolver. Visscher began to stammer. "My friend," said he. In the hope that the fellow would make It twelve, "I never took a drink In my life." "That so? Well you'll take six right now. Barkeeper, put six drinks on the bar, Just a foot apart. And when the barkeeper had done this the cowboy added: "Now, Mr. Plnkfoot, you begin at that end and drink your way down here." Visscher mumbled that he had left his pistol at the hotel. "I don't care anything for your pl3tol; drink your way down her?." Visscher made the journey, with but a breath between each nlass, and the cowboys roared with laughter; but a chill f?U ujon their mirth when Vtas-char remarked: "Gentlemen, If you'll have thene glasses filled asaln I'll drink my way back."

TOORHEES SUCCUMBS Conclnded from First Puge. a quorum, if the Senate was duly constituted. Vice President Stevenson ruled that the Senate, as constituted, was composed of eighty-five Senators, and forty-three was a quorum. Mr. Wolcott appealed from the decision. Mr. Hale promptly moved to lay the appeal on the table. The appeal was tabled CS to 5. Messrs. Allen, Manderson, Martin, Peffer and Morgan voted in the negative. To obtain a quorum on the vote It was necessary for several Democratic Senators to break their pairs. The quorum question was disposed of a few minutes before 8 o'clock, and Mr. Allen rose, apparently as fresh and vigorous as when he began fourteen hours before. While he talked about the Shylocks and the Trojan horse, told of the voyage and landing of the Pilgrims on the New England shore, pictured the life of the Acadian peasants, sKetched the events leading up to the revolutionary war and told how that conflict was fought and won, the Senators changed their seat3 and the galleries took opportunity to change shifts. Those who had remained all night. Including the woman who had held her post with a persistence worthy of the sterner sex, moved out, but new watchers came la to take their places. Therf were at this hour about fifty people in the galleries, and the number increased gradually. While there had been a full quorum In the Senate at the last roll call, the seats were now almost vacated. Those who remained rubbed their eyes vigorously, pinched their ears In order to keep track of the Senator from Nebraska as he grew eloquent in his peroration, which was devoted to showing how England had gone on for centuries making her encroachments. It soon became evident, however, by a question from Mr. Wolcott, that all had not been successful in this respect. When Mr. Al!n was In the middle of one of his best sentences. Mr. Wolcott Interrupted him to ask from what he was reading. "I was reading." replied Mr. Allen, "from a slight production of my own." In the midst of a burst of laughter such as one would have hardly expected at the hour and under the circumstances. Mr. Wolcott said: "I like It extremely. I supposed the Senator was quoting from some distinguished author."

FIRST VOTE TAKEN. Voorhees Forces the Rejection of PefTcr'a Amendment. At a quarter past 8 o'clock Mr. Allen concluded his long speech by saying that he yielded the floor to Mr. Martin, of Kansas. To this proceeding Mr. Voorhees took exception, and asked Mr. Allen if he proposed to farm out the floor. Mr. Allen declared he had no such Intention. Instead of permitting Mr. Martin to go on, Mr. Voorhees moved to lay the Peffer free-coinage amendment to the repeal bill on the table, and thus suddenly precipitated his era of business. Senator Aldrlch called for the yeas and nays. Mr. PefTer asked to be permitted to explain the amendment, but this privilege was denied, and the roll call proceeded, with the vote to lay on the table. There was considerable sparring during the taking of the vote, and when the result was announced It showed that the Senate was short a quorum by two votes. This was occasioned by the announcement of pairs and by the refusal of some of, the silver men present to vote. Mr. Vilas made the point of order that when a Senator was present he was compelled to vote, unless excused by the Senate. A roll call was ordered, and fortylive Senators, two more than a quorum, answered to their names. A second effort was then made to secure a quorum vote, on the amendment to lay the pending motion upon the table. The recapitulation of the vote showed only forty-one Senators present and voting. The result wa3 not announced at the time, and was delayed by Mr. Vilas's renewal of., his point of order that Senators were present who had not voted, and the rules required them to vote unless excused by the Senate. Senator Dubois being the first Senator on the list who had not voted, though present, Mr. Vilas directed his remarks to th.t Senator. The Chair asked Dubois to explain his refusal. This he did by saying that he considered the amendment too Important to be passed upon without debate. He said that Mr. Peffor had even been denied the privilege of explaining the amendment. He did not want to be a party to such a proceeding. On a motion to excuse Mr. Dubois the yeas and nays were called, and the vote resulted: 21 yeas and 23 nays. Mr. Dubois' name was then called and, notwithstanding the vote of the Senate, he did not respond to the roll call. Here followed a discussion as to whether Senator Dubois could be compelled to vote, In which some technical parliamentary questions were Involved, but the point was quickly dropped. Mr. Dubois sat In his seat all the time, but his name did not appear In the list of the voters when announced, as did not the names of several other Senators on the silver side who were present all the time. While this discussion was In progress the hands on the old Senate clock were moving on, and the hour of 9 o'clock saw several Senators present who had not been in the chamber for several hours, some of them not at all during the night. Many of them voted on the motion to lay the Peffer amendment on the table. When, therefore, at 9:15, when the vote was announcerf, the result showed that : there were fifty Senators voting, seven more than a quorum. The vote In detail was as follows: Yeas Caffery. Camden. Carey. Cullom, Dixon, Davis, Dolph, Faulkner, Frye, Gallinger, Gordon, Gray. Hale. Hawley, Hill, Hoar, Lindsay, McMillan, McPherson, Manderson. Mills. Mitchell of Wisconsin, Murphy, Piatt. Proctor, Quay, Ransom, Sherman. Smith. Squire, Voorhees, Washburn, Whit of Louisiana 33. Nays Bate, HeTry, Blackburn. Butler, Call, Cameron. Coke. Daniel, George. Hunton, Irby, Martin, Morgan, Pascoe, Peffer. Vest. WoIcott-17. When the Chair announced the vote and stated that the Peffer amendment had been laid on the table, Mr. Voorhees was recognized. He stated that the Peffer amendment to the Voorhees bill was the only one pending, except that offered by the committee on finance, which Is the Wilson, or House bill No. 1. He said, however, there were other amendments which had been proposed by Senators, but had not as yet been offered, but these would be in onlr when offered by their authors. He said the finance committee's amendment was now before the Senate, and asked that Mr. Martin, of Kansas, be recognized to discuss the question. MAXY ROLL CALLS. Mr. Martin nnil Other Speakers Given Numerous Rests. Mr. Martin got the floor at 9:30, and began a plea for the free coinage of silver. At frequent intervals he was interrupted by roll calls and delays, necessitated by tho absence of a quorum. During one of the intervals Mr. Stewart read a letter warning him to desist In "obstructing legislation," or he might be blown up with a dynamite bomb. There was some laughter at the letter, which no one took seriously. Mr. Martin then resumed, making an attack on the Eastern bankers, whom he called slave drivers and shylocks. He also declared that if the President had, during the recent campaign, written such a letter as he recently wrote Governor Northen, of Georgia, or had Democratic Senators, in that campaign, made such speeches to the people as they had made in the Senate on the financial question, the Democratic party, in the parlance of the day, would not have been la it. (Laughter.) Mr. Jones, of Nevada, expressed doubt as to the presence of a quorum, and but tnirty-seven Senators answered to their iiames. Senator Jones did not announce his presenca when his name was called. In fact, none of the Senators from what are called the silver States responded on any of the recent roll call3. At this time Senator Voorhees was taking advantage of every opportunity offered to secure rest, so as to conserve his powers a. fir as possible. There was some comment upon the fact that he was absent at two or three roll calls last night, and It was asserted that he had made an agreement with the silver men not to attempt to reach a vote during the night. With Mr. Allen constantly on the floor there would have been no chance to get a vote If he had been present all the time. It also appears that the attendants at the Senators room, when they found him there, muffled the call bell and thus prevented his being disturbed. At noon there was no perceptible change In the Senate. As the steam whistles and bell sseattered over the city announced the hour of midday Senator Martin still had the floor, and of the forty-seven Senators who responded to the call at half-past llbut eight were present. In the prallerien the night audience had disappeared and fresh faces greeted the Senators. The chamber bore evidence of the nocturnal struggle in its disordered state, and Instead cf the spick and span condition which confronts Senators ordinarily at that hour of the day the floor was literally covered with paper, and the senatorial desks presented an untidy appearance. When a quorum was rej cured Mr. Harris, of Tennessee, moved that 1 the order made after a prior roll call, dlt rcctlng the Sergeant-at-arms to request the attendanco of Senators, De rcscsnaed. The presiding officer, Mr. Faulkner, of West Virginia, being In the chair, in put-

tins the question, inadvertently" referred to Mr. Harris as the "Senator from Massachusetts." "From where?' asked Mr. Harris indignantly. "From Tennesse?," apologetically said the Chair, and the occupants of the galleries Joined in the laughter which the incident provoked among the Senators. There was another call of the Senate at ten minutes to 1 o'clock, and forty-four Senators responding, Mr. Martin resumed his speech. After the lapse of exactly thirty minutes Mr. Power rose, and, apparently tiring of suggesting the absence of a quorum, simply said: "Call the roll.' Wnen the result was announced. forty-thre Senators having answered, Mr. Voorheer arose and said: "Mr. President, it Is tvident that there is to be a call of the innate every fifteen or twenty, or at most thirty, minutes, with the notable absence of certain notabilities who are opposed to this bill, the object doubtless being to compel an attendance on the part of the friends of the bill all day while they are sleeping for to-night. Now I give notice that on every call for a quorum of the Senate, from this time on, I shall Insist on having the names of the absentees called and to compel their attendance. If we are to sit here all the time, subject to a call every fifteen minutes, they shall do the same as far as It is in my power to secure it" VOORHEES'S THREAT UNHEEDED. Mr. Voorhees's statement apparently had no terror for the opponents of repeal, and at 1:50 Mr. Jones ,of Nevada, called attention to the lack of a quorum. The Senators from- tho silver States did not answer to their names. A quorum was secured, nevertheless, and Mr. Martin proceeded with his speech. There was another call of the Senate at 2:25 p. m., and forty-flvo Senators responded. Mr. Martin declared his belief that if the question of unconditional repeal of the Sherman act were submitted to the people of the United States there would be a majority of millions against it He apologized for having allowed himself to be diverted from the logical order of his argument for an hour or so, and said he would now return to it and proceed in a quiet, orderly and methodical way for the next ten hours. (Laughter-) , , A Another call of tho Senate was had at 3:05 o'clock. Forty-eight Senators answered, and Mr. Martin continued. At 4:05 p. m. Mr. Martin said he would close his speech for the present.wlth the hope that he might continue the discussion at some future time, as there were many Important phases of tke question to which he had not alluded. Mr. Morgan gave notice of an amendment to the repeal bill prepared, he said, by Representative Turpin, of his State. The amendment provides for the conlage of silver dollars of 4124 grains, which, together with all silver dollars of like weight and fineness, are made legal tender, except where otherwise expressly stipulated. he Secretary of the Treasury is directed to purchase silver bullion at the market price, to be paid for In silver dollars, and to have it coined into silver standard dollars to an equal amount monthly and yearly with the gold dollars coined. Mr. Morgan said that the only provision of the amendment which did not have his approval was that excepting the legal tender quality in cases where otherwise stipulated. Mr. Teller then took the floor, and resumed his speech against the bill began last week. At 6:20 Mr. Teller said he had an important appointment, which he was desirous of keeping, and, if agreeable Ao the Senate, he would now yield the floor, with the understanding that he could resume to-morrow. To this there was no objection, and Mr. Stewart was recognized. Before he proceeded, however, Mr. Dubois suggested the absence of a quorum. The roll was called, and forty-six Senators responded. Mr. Stewart then proceeded with his speech. - At 7:C5 p. m. Mr. Power Interrupted Mr. Stewart to call attention to the lack of a ; quorum, there being but two Senators on the Democratic side and not more than six on the Republican side. When the roll was called forty-two Senators one less than a quorum, ajiswered. The repeal forces were about to carry out the programme announced by Mr. Voorhee3, earlier in the day, of having the names of the absentees 'read preparatory to compelling their attendance, but several Senators appeared immediately after the Vice President announced the result of the call, and Mr. Faulkner did not press a request he had ' made that the names of the absentees be reported. Mr. Stewart had but expressed his regret at the lack of conception on the part of the administration Senators as to what bimetallism was and how to maintain the parity of the two metals, v hen Mr. Shoup interposed with the usual suggestion of the lack of a quorum. The presence of fortythree Senators was temporarily secured through the Instrumentality of the lately much Invoked roll call, and Mr. Stewart resumed his speech. He asked to have read a newspaper article, because it had something of the American rfrirlt about it. "It may not be from th? higher class," said Mr. Stewart, "because it is not fashionable to be American. (Laughter.) That is all English, doncher know." (Laughter.) Mr. Stewart spoke from Senator Colquitt's seat, the first in the front row on the Democratic side. Beside him sat his clerk who, every now and then, furnished the Senator with an admonition in the way of newspaper articles or books. COMPROMISE PROPOSITION. At 0:45 Mr. Dubois blandly suggested that only seventeen Senators were present. Forty-six Senators appeared. Befora Mr. Stewart proceeded Mr. Harris presented" an amendment which he said he would offer In due time. The amendment provided, first, for the coinage of all the sliver bullion In tha treasury, representing the government's 2lgniorage into full lagal-tender dollars at the rate of thre million a month; second, when this seigniorage shall have been coined, the Secretary of the Treasury shall purchase, each month, bullion sufficient to coin blank dollars, and to coin th bullion Into legal-tender dollars; third, that all paper notes or certificates of less denomination than $10 shall be redeemed and not reissued, and that national bank notes of less denomination than $10 shall be redeemed and th2 national banks required to substitute notes of that denomination; fourth, that the two-and-a-half and five-dollar gold pieces shall no longer be coined, but when r3ceived at the Treasury shall be recolned as eagles and double eagles; fifth, that the holders of standard silver ' dollars hall be abl2 to exchang3 such dollars on presentation, for notes of the same legal tender qualities as such silver dollars, which shall be hsld for their redemption. . This amendment created much interest, it being naturally assumed that it furnished, perhaps, the first concrete; and specific compromise proposition growing out of the continuous session. Mr. Allison remarked that the amendment, coming from such a distinguished member of the finance committee, was extremely significant. He wanted to know whether or not the omission in the second section of the amendment as to the number of dollars to be coined was not unintentional. Mr. Harris rcplisd, emphatically, that it-was not. The amount had been left blank in order that ho (Mr. Allison) or any other Senator might have an opportunity to test the sense of the Senate, v "-i vj,' It seqm 3 that Mr. Harris, for the Democratic free silver Senators, and Mr. Teller, for the Republican silver men, have been circulating this amendment as a basis for compromise, with what success cannot be learned. Just before the amendment was introduced Mr. Harris talked with Secretary Carlisle, .who came to the Capitol an hour ago, and has since been conferring with the Democratic reneal leaders in the appropriation committee room. Me?srs. Gorman. Gray, Faulkner, Camden, Cockrell and Ransom were present. It is understood that Secretary Carlisle was not yet satisfied that the repeal mc:i would have to capitulate, and urged them to continue the fight He v-.s willing, however, that the amendment should be introduced in case a compromise should become the only alternative except defeat. In this Indirect way It would seem the administration, so far as Mr. Carlisle speaks for it showed tho first sign of weakening. WITHOUT A QUORUM". At 10:13 p.m. Mr. Wolcott called for a quorum. Only 20 Senators replied to their names, and on motion of Mr. Voorhees the Sergeant-at-arms was directed to compel the attendance of absent members, but be-' fore it became necessary to act on the order four others came Into the hall, thus making the quorum, and Mr. .Stewart continued. Mr. Wolcott allowed his opponent just half an hour respite before he announced that there was a "conspicuous absence of a quorum," and asked for a roll call. Thirty-nine Senators replied, and upon the request of Mr. Voorhees the names of the absentees were read. Upon motion of various Senators Messrs. George, Walthall. -Gibson, Stockbridge. Colquitt, Dolph and Vance were excused from attendance on account of illness and fatigue. Those who did not answer the call wereAldrlch. Allen, Berry, Blackburn, Butler, Call, Cameron, Carey, Chandler, Cockrell. Coke, Daniel, Dubois. Hansbrough. Irbv, Jone-J (of Nevada), Jones (of Arkansas), Kyle, Martin. Mills. Mitchell (of Oregon). Morrill. Palmer, Peffer. Perkins. lVttlgrcw. Power, Push, Ransom, Roach. Sherman. Shoup, Teller. Vest. Vilas. White. "Wilson, and Wolcott. Tne los3 of a quorum for this length of time was generally believed to be the beginning of the end. The quorum was broken by the refusal of certain Southern Democrats to vote. At this hour it was thought that before morning the quorum would again disappear and that it could not be revived. Another call at ll:"i p. m. only brought four Senators to th? chamber. An hour passed and still the Senate was without a quorum. Mr. Gallingcr then arose. He stated that'

he had been continuously In attendance since Wednesday morning without obtaining any sleep. He now found the Senate without a quorum and without the likelihood of getting one. He asked Mr. Voorhees what the outlook was. Mr. Voorhees replied at length, explaining that he was aware of the suffering, but thought a quorum would appear. He was willing to take a recess, but did. not wish to break the continuous B2ssion by an adjournment. At 1:05 a. m. Mr. Blackburn came In and completed the quorum, and tae venerable Senator from Nevada resumed his speech. At 1:25 Mr. Wolcott made the point of no quorum. At 1:30 a. m. the Senate lacked five of a quorum, and the silver men said that another quorum could not be obtained. They declared that nothing was now left but adjournment At 1:40 a. m., the Sergeant-at-arms reported that two Senators were -absent from the city, twelve had been excused by the Senate, four answered the summons by the statement that they were too ill to attend, nine in the Capitol made no answer, and sixteen were reported as absent from their residences and could not be found. Mr. Voorhees Immediately arose and said: "Mr. Fresidsnt, I feel that I have done my duty In this matter, and. without comment, I now move that the Senate adjourn." The motion was unanimously agreed to, and in an instant the Senate chamber was deserted, aftr a continuous session of thirtyeight hours and forty minutes. ItAT IX A THEATER.

Women Fled In Fright and Toole Refuse on Balcony Chairs. New York Herald. A mouse is bad enough, but when a big black rat gets loose where there are women around there Is bound to be excitement That is what happened at the Bijou Theater a short time before the curtain was raised on "The Golden Wedding." Friday evening. Had the rat which then walked into the main entrance from Broadway appeared a little later, when the lobby was full of women, there Is no saying what might have happened. Tne rodent was first discovered by rather an unsteady young man, who saw the rat looking curiously around, as though uncertain whether to go on into the theater or not. The young man started in alarm, but was reassured when he noticed Its color, which was neither red, pink nor green. Then there was a scream. One of two young women, attended by an elderly gentleman as escort saw the rat as she entered. . "Oh, a rat! A horrid rat!" she screamed. The other young woman promptly caught up her skirts and ran. The first young woman jumped on a chair, which fell over, adding to the confusion. Policeman Cahlll was standing on guard alongside tho box office. He thought of his pistol, but seized a broom from the hands of a boy Instead. The rat started up the balcony stairs. Manager Rosenquest heard the noise and joined the chase. Half a dozen ushers followed. There were several women at the head of the stairs. They stopped to find out what all the racket was about. They heard the cry of "Rats!" and waited no longer. They caught their skirts closely about them, fled into the balcony and climbed on the backs of the chairs', to the wonder and alarm of those already seated. Some of the women in the balcony thought the climbers must be out of their senses, but when they heard the ominous shout from without of "Rats, rats!" they showed decided symptoms of uneasiness, and began to consider the best way of getting on the backs of their own chairs themselves. An usher ran out just in time to Intercept tho now thoroughly frightened little animal at the head of the stairs. He gave it a kick and the rat turned upon the broom brigade. Everybody hit at the sametime, and hit everything and everybody except the rat. The rat made its escape between the legs of Its pursuers Into the lobby. Another party of women had just entered. One of them saw the rat making straight for the protection of her skirts. She threw her arms around the neck of her escort and tried to get behind him. He saw the brooms but not the rat. and was somewhat surprised until the other members of his party began to scream. All ran out of harm's way into the parquet. The rat was tiring fast, but was game still. He evaded the kicks and blows aimed at him, and finally reached the balcony stairs again. Mr. Rosenquest struck a vicious blow with his broom just as an usher leaned forward to dispatch the rat with a stick. The broom caught the usher in the back of the neck. The rat at the same moment leaped Into his face, but, fortunately, didn't bite. The usher's teeth rattled like castanets. To policeman Cahill belonged the honor of getting in the first solid blow. Mr. Rosenquest followed with a poke of his big broom, and the rat was carried into the street In triumph. ; It was not'until an usher made an official announcement to the women in the balcony that the rat was dead that their alarm subsided. Some of them were uneasy, however, all the rest of the evening, and looked around fearfully every time they heard a noiS3 as though the expected more rats. STARTING A BALKY HORSE. An Incident Showing; Some Horses Have ns Mncli Sense as Some Men. New York Herald. An old white horse attached to an empty express wagon balked at the corner of Twenty-sixth street and Broadway the other day, and for three-quarters of an hour successfully resisted every attempt to make him move on. The driver belabored him with a whip, tugged at the reins and yelled, but to no purpose. Then a crowd gathered and began to give advice freely. One man seized the horse by the ears, another grasped the bridle and began to pull, while two or three others braced themselves against the animal's hindquarters and tried to push him forward. The creature didn't move a foot One wise fellow blindfolded the horse with tho driver's coat, after which he declared the animal would move right along, but the plan was a dismal failure. Another1 insisted that If a plug of tobacco were forcad into the cieuiure's mouth he would be all right, saying which he thrust a big piece of navy twist between the horse's jaws. The stubborn beast enook the dose from his mouth, and remained Immovable. Meanwhile the crowd continued to grow, and every newcomer bad a plan of his own for solving the problem, which by this time had effectually stepped the movement of vehicles in Broadway for two or three blocks in either direction. The horse was apparently there to stay. The driver was in despair. The four or live policemen who had been drawn to the scene by the gathering crowd looked sheepish and puzzled. A lady vho had watched the scene from the window of a neighboring cafe finally turned to the gentleman accompanying her and said: Go and start that horse. These men never can do it. They don't understand. How shall you do It? Simply take a halter, walk up to the horse quietly and hitch it to his bit ling. Take the other end in your hand, speak to the horse gently but firmly, and lead him away." The gentleman went out and borrowed a hitching strap from a hackman, and the crowd jeered him as he approached the balking horse. He attached the strap to the bit ring as directed, patted the animal kindly on the neck and took the end of the halter in his hand. With a word of command, he started to lead the way, and the horse followed as promptly and obediently as if that were exactly what he had been waiting for all the while! The crowd stood back in wonderment and admiration. Some of the superstitious cne declared that the animal had been hypnotized. "There is no trick about it," explained the little woman, laughingly, to her friends, as the gentleinr.n rejoined the party In the cafe. "With all those halfwitted men fooling around him the horse probably felt that he knew as much as they did. What he nee-Jed was neither beating nor yelling, but the presence of a master. To ta horse, as to other animals, the hitching strap, rope or chain is the token of his own subjection. The sight of it will subdue him when all other means have fall?d. Horses are a good deal like some m?n you may lead them easily, but you can't drive vthem. TO KEEP THE HOY OX THE FARM, Gov. Flower Tells the Dutchess Comity Farmers How to Do It. New York Recorder. There were 18,000 people at the Dutchess county fair, Xaw York, on Governor's day. Governor Flower talked to the farmers on "How to Kp the Hoy on the Farm." Among other things he said: "Our high-priced lands yielded over J23 an acre in corn, on an average, from 1870 to 1SS0. and only $1S an acre from 1?0 to 1590. The average value of our wheat " ield from 1S70 to 1S?0 was ZiO an acre, and" between 1S& and 1O0 It had fallen one-quarter, to $15 an acre. "I know some farmers' boy3 In another part of the Stats who make $50 an acre by raising sweet corn for canning purposes. Why cannot a number of farmers club together and establish a canning factory, out of which they can make large profits in furnishing the vegetables or frult.i? "Xo better apples, no better peaches, no better berries, hardly any better grapes, are grown anywhere than th03e grown in New York. L,ess than fifty years ago a fn.it groAver near Keuka .Lane broke the New York market by a shipment of thr?e hundred pounds of grapea. In 1800 there was shipped from this peme part of the State 40,000,000 pounds, and from the whole State Ci,(A.0,00o pounds. "Another suggestion in this line. Ilulld cold-storage houses If you can afford them; If you can't, get a number of your neighbors to join v.'ith you and build one, charging each farmer who uses It a small price In proportion to the extent of his use. Then put in this cold-storage all the fruit 3u

can't dispose of during the season, and along in tne winter or spring bring out that fruit and sell It at the fancy prices which will then prevail in our city markets. I know farmers who keep apples in this way, and along in the winter ship them to London for splendid prices. "Out at the world's fair. In June last, I saw HO varieties of New York apples wnicn had been kept sound and hard in a coldstorage house since lat September. I saw also a great many varieties of grapes preserved in the same way. "The demand for fresh egg3 and chickens for food is almost unlimited. Get the boy an Incubator, and let him hatch chickens by the wholesale. Give him all the profits he makes, and you won't had him anxious to leave the farm. "Many of you farmers, I dare say, have a cold spring on your farms. Utilize it for trout ponds. This Is splendid work for your boys. You can get plenty of trout to stock it with from the State Fish Commissioner. After the ponds are once built and stocked they will not be much care. Your boy can catch a fine mess of trout now and then, pack them in ice, ship them to New York and get a fancy price for them. COUXT OF SOME ACCOUNT. He Differed from Others In that lie Slurried u Poor Girl. New York Press. The general impression In regard to European counts is that they are a set of worthless fellows, bent on marrying rich young wemen as a business transaction and to recuperate wasted fortunes. All counts, however, are not of the quality described. The suicide of Count Kudolph Palffy, near Itahway, N. J., on Monday last, has brought out a story showing that even counts are capable of disinterested love and honorable matrimony. Count Rudolph, It appears, was a member of the princely Hungarian family of Palffyd'Erdoed. lie fell In love with a pretty Swiss girl whose social station was not equal to his own. According to the rule prevalent among European princely families, he should have regarded his love affair as merely a passing adventure, and abandoned the young woman at the first opportunity. Hut Count Rudolph did not take that view of his obligations as a nobleman .md a wearer of one of the most ancient titles In Europe. He actually asked the girl to become his wife, and she consented. Of course, there was a storm. The Idea of honest marriage to an holiest woman without wealth or noble pedigree was contrary to xall the traditions of Hungarian high life. The Count had deliberately thrown away the . great chance of his career. His family might have ignored the pedigree, perhaps, if the wife had only brought a sufficient dowry; but to marry a poor woman without title was something they could not forgive. Had the Count not heard, they probably asked, of rich Americans willing to exchange their daughters and dollars for a mortgaged castle and a crest? Had he not heard of Coionna and Hatzfeldt and other noblemen with tall titles and flattened purses who had netted fortunes by American marriages? But the young Count was deaf to every appeal. He adhered to his wife, threw up his commission In the army and came to America. So far Count Rudolph had given an excellent example to his kinsmen at home, dancing attendance on court and playing at military maneuvers. But at length the nobleman broke down under the test of ordinary hard work for a living. He killed himself, but to his credit be it said, his final utterance was an expression of love for his wife. Count Rudolph displayed some inherent nobility of character. He proved that a count could marry for love, and for love alone; but he failed to bear up under the burden of supporting a wife. For thl3 weakness, grave as It was, there is some extenuation, In view of the limitations of his training and education. Insomnln Contests ut Washington. Chicago Record.

The Democratic Congress cannot and ought not to defer the Imposition of new taxes until the new tariff is passed.
