The Pall Mali Kudget has ceased to be, notwithstanding that it was paying its way. and Mr. Astor had a number of offers to purchase It. All of the.e were refused and the reason assigned by the press is that thfl Budget was the late Mr. Astor's favorite paper and its appearance was painful to her family. Mr. Astor, therefore, so soon as he could terminate contracts, allowed the paper to disappear from London journalism.

PHOEBE'S LOVE AFFAIR. Bliss Conxion's Correspondence with the Late Ex-Senator Fair. ST. LOUIS, April 6.-The full correspondence, between James G. Fair and I'hoebe Couzins, upon which the latter bases her contention that an engagement . of marriage existed between her and the . millionaire, has been made public. The first Intimation of matrimony, Miss Couzins asserts, was lit a newspaper dispatch handed her one day. by Fair, narrating the conjugal misery that followed the wedding of an "Ideal" man and an "Ideal" woman, the judge who finally granted them a divorce remarking: "The first requirement for an ideal wife or husband Is a wicked rartnor." The correspondence began July 7, 1892. and continued to May 31,. 18S3. In none of the letters, seemingly, Is Fair affectionate, though always courteous, kind and encouraging. It shows tnat he loaned Miss Couzins money, and told her whenever she needed moie to call on him. All his letters are answer.? to hers, apparently, and no mention of marriage or love appears to be made in any of them. His last note to her was written from the Grand Pacific Hotel, Chicago, May SI, 1831. and is signed "Mst respectfully." it was when Fair reached this hotel at that tl.no, Miss Couzins asserts, that he said to her: "I have come to claim my reward."

Clausen, formerly park commissioner, and ' at one time president of the Department of Public Parks, and ex-Park Commissioner Nathan Straus were the first to reach police headquarters. Police Captain Millilea arrived soon afterward." The next to reach headquarters was ex-Park Commissioner . Abraham B. Tappen. He was followed shortly afterwards by the other indicted men, patrolmen Hugh Cassidy, Edward F. MUey and John H. ThalL The prisoners remained In the building but a few minutes and then left for the office of the district attorney. When they reached the district attorney's office the prisoners were taken at once before ball clerk Anderson when bonds were prepared for their release. Justice Ingraham had. previously named the amount of bail in each case. The specific charge against ex-Park Commissioners Clausen, Tappen and Straus was that of conspiring to spend the amount appropriated by the board of estimate and apportionment under the $1,000,000 act of 14. Patrolman Cassidy was indicted on evidence furnished by Hans Beattie, excommissioner of street cleaning, who was arrested by Cassidy in Harlem on the night of March 14. The indictments against Patrolmen Thall and Miley are based on the same complaint. Police Captain Killilea wa3 charged with having received a bribe of $100 In connection with the Yale-Princeton football game of Thanksgiving Day, 1892. The indictment against Thomas J. Brady, ex-superintendent of the department of buildings, was for bribery. The charge was based on the information that Brady received a piano from Justus J. Smith, of H. M.

The list was furnished yesterday and was discussed at the executive session by the board. At that time the Superintendent was directed to suspend from duty all men against whom indictments may be found. FAILED TO CONVICT. Government Defeated In Attempt to Punish A. R. V. Strikers.

THE ARKANSAS WAY

HOW ASPIRING MEMBERS OK THE LEGISLATURE ARE BRIBED. Mr. "Yancey Creates a- Sensation in the House of Representativea by "Giving- the Thing- Away." LITTLE ROCK, Ark.. April 6. A sensation was sprung In-the House of Representatives this afternoon when Representative Yancey, ofPhillips county," arose to a questtqp of personal privilege and told a story of alleged bribery in connection with the vote on the railroad commission bill in the House. According to Mr. Yancey's recital he was taken to the office of Dodge & Johnson, attorneys for the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern railroad, by Representative Roberts, of Madison county, and introduced to Mr. Dodge as a "friend who would vdte with us." Subsequently, said Mr. Yancey, T. L. Cox approached him and said he would send $300 or $400 over to Phillips county to elect Y'ancey to the Senate. After that Cox told Y'ancey he wanted him to oppose the railroad commission. Jblll. Yancey continued: "Cor at one time wanted to know what he could do to get me. In addition to promising aid for my election to the Senate he promised to fix it so that I could get $1,000 at the next session. I talked with Representative Wagner, of Frankton county, and asked If any one had approached him in regard to the railroad ' commission bill. Wragner said that Cox approached him and aski.-d him if there was anything that could be done to enlist him against the bill. Wagner and I agreed to see if Cox would give us $100 each. I saw Cox and told him I had decided to oppose the bill. I told him I could get Wagner for $100. He said he would see Wagner and pay the money. Cox, Wagner ana I met afterward and I told him (.Cox) we wanted $100 apiece.' Later I met Cox and he told me he .ww a little afraid of Wagner and would lather not let him be present when he paid me the $2ix and said I could deal witn Wagner. Cox told me to pay my bill where I was boarding, move to the Gleason Hotel and he would pay my board bill - and ' furnish me money to drink witb.,tht boys t Representative Jones, of Madison county, told me he had a room at Gleason's and was living like a kln&. Cox took me to Gleason's and went into a room where I was introduced to a man named Dean, who said he was at the head of the Iron Mountain road for Arkansas. He said they always made a clean canvass, did not pay anything down, but always took care of the boys after th fight was over. After that conversation I met Cox and told him I heard he had accused me of being a traitor. I told him he had not given me the $200 and told him he must put up $500 or I would give the thing away." Yancey then went on to tell that Cox gave him $10tf and' said " he would see that the other $100 was put Tip. When Yancey had finished speaking, the House was in a great uproar and finally a motion to appoint a committee to investigate the affair was carried. ' T. L. Cox, the man who was reported to have bribed Yancey, says that he gave Yancey $100 out of somo money which had been given him to tise in the defeat of the Monroe Philips county bill, in which Yancey was also Interested. He claims that he is not and has never been a railroad lobbyist. The investigation committee met tonight behind closed doors and examined two witnesses. The members of the committee refuse to divulge any part of the proceedings. The excitement created by the incident is intense to-nigJit and it is freely predicted that serious trouble will ensue.

Rumor and speculation were rife at the Auditorium to-night owing to the publication of the issuance, of a marriage license to Robert Seaman and Elizabeth Cochrane. The reason was that two guests of the hotel bore those names. For two weeks Robert Seaman, a New Y'ork attorney, has been at the house, and one of the permanent guests, since her arrival in Chicago, is Elizabeth Cochrane, who. Is better known to the public as "Nellie Bly." According to the records in the county clerk's office Mr. Seaman's age is sixty-eight and Miss Cochrane's is specified as "legal." Mr. Seaman left for New York late this afternoon and "Nellie Bly" was nor to be seen. Those who are well acquainted with "Nellie Bly" claimed to-night not to have heard oi her Intentions of marrying. Ernest Webb, an attorney, has been one of her most frequent callers at the hotel, and it is said he has been identified with her in business. At any rate, he claims to have her confidence. "If she has taken out a marriage license," he said, "it cannot be more of a surprise to any one than to me. i certainly think I should have known of It. She has not even Intimated such a thig to me." For the past eight months Mr. Seaman has been in Chicago very frequently, and he always has stopped at the Auditorium. He came here the last time March 25, and since then he has been seen with "Nellie Bly" almost every day. Such Is the statement of Mr. Kennedy, one of . the clerks at the hotel. This afternoon he paid his bill and left, saying he was going to New York.- Clerks and employes in the hotel claimed to-night that they had not seen "Nellie Bly" since early In the morning. Happiness Enough. New York Evening Sun. The small boy was in love. Not that he called it by any such grown-up term, but the elders of the family recognized the symptoms as unmistakable. He had come home one day from school full of the charms of a small maiden whose curls so said the small boy had bobbed up and down when she played "chaser" just like long, yellow shavings. After this any mention of the small maiden caused the small boy to blush a fiery red under his freckles. He also fell into a Mary's little lamb sort of habit of lingering about after school hours until the small maiden did appear, which made him unconscionably late in arriving home. One afternoon he didn't come home at all. At last, after supper, he came in, his face wreathed with smiles. Was he so very late? Why, he had just stayed after school to play "chaser" with the small maiden, and such fun as they had had. He had watched her bobbing curls to his heart's content, and they had raced and run all about the school yard and the neighboring block until they were thoroughly tired out. "And what did you do then?" asked the small bo 's mother. "Oh, then," replied the small boy, his freckles fairly blotted out beneath his blushes, while his eyes beamed ecstatically, "then we leaned up against the same board fence." . , - .i i. .Who Are Immortal? New York Evening Sun. Sorosis was in ft modest frame of mind yesterday. The question discussed . was: "What Constitutes an Immortal in Literature?" Mrs. Jennie C. Croly, who opened the debate, made a statement which no man would have been daring enough to propound when she said that there was no woman In the ranks of the recognized immortals. She left it to Mrs. Lozier to mention George Eliot, and even this speaker seemed to have doubts as to whether the masculine genius of this novelist placed her among those whose places are secure and permanent. But why did nobody think of Sappho, the Greek woman poet, whose work is extant only in a fragment of verse, and yet whose traditional personality has sCVfclved all these years. Then, too, what about Jane Austen, a novelist, who Is a supreme craftswoman, whose admirers are the elect of the earth, and whose form Is far superior to that of the author of "Mlddlemarch" and "Romola?" What about George Sand? She is even now entering upon a renewed popularity with those who have tired of the fetid unhealthiness of the realists, and want to get back to the open air and the smell of the grass. We certainly hold that Sappho, Jane Austen and George Sand are among the immortals. - s He Ought to Have a Million. Washington Post. "I was in the betting ring at Morris Park once," said Mr. Lum Pierson, a devotee of the turf "from Kentucky, "and I heard a sport, who wanted .to make a combination that included twelve horses, arguing fiercely with the fellow that wrote the combination tickets about the odds. The man offered him 750 to 1. but the sport wanted 1,000. and said he would put up $10 against $10,000. About that time the maker of the book came along and listened to the wrangle. Then he laughed a mighty laugh that was heard all over ttie ring. " 'What, not give him 1,000 to 1, Jimmie, when he proposes to guess twelve horses? Why. I've been trying all my life to guess one, and oouldn't do it. Give me your pencil. I'll lay him some odds that'll make his hair stand on end.' "Yvith that Mr. Bookmaker took the Faber from bis employe's hand and. rapidly filling the ticket, handed it to the bettor, who read It with bulging eyes. All the bookmaker did was to lay mm $100,000 to $1, or even $1,000,000 against $10. It nearly looked absurd, but the bookmaker was a level-headed man, and knew Just what he was doing. A mart who can guess twelve horses right Is entmed to a million any day." . Another Great Achievement. New York Weekly.

It Is expe ste-d that t',e other roads will follow suit. In one of the mission Sunday schools last week there was a visitor in the primary class. This visitor was a small specimen of humanity. He cried when made to sit with the other children, and seemed quite unhappy. During the week the child , was taken to visit his grandmother. He told her of the school and that he had cried. He declared that he would never go there again. "Why not?" asked the grandmother. "Because there are bad ladies up there." "Why, what makes you think they are bad " "Beonuse" said he. assuming a - confidential ; tone, "they talk about Jesus Christ all the I time.". -

Some members of the Columbia Club last night tendered a reception to the eminent young tragedian, Mr. Walker WhiUslde, who has appeared in the role of Hamlet and other Spakspearan characters in the last three evenings at the Grand Opera House. The members attended the play last night and then repaired to the clubhouse where a banquet was enjoyed, followed by several toasts to the rising actor. Mayor Denny acted as toastmaster and after a few well-chosen words in commendation of the work of Mr. Whiteside, he called on Secretary of State W. D. Owen, who is a citizen of the city where Mr. Whiteside was born: Mr. Owen dwelt on the fact that the coming delineator of Shaksperlan characters is an Indianlan. Mr. Addison C.

One of the men had a knife in his hand and Highstreet received the blade. His lip was badly cut. Dr. L. &r. Elsenbeiss was called and dressed the wounds. Much has been said and written about men giving up their seats to women In the street cars. One evening last week in an Illinois-street car about 5:30 o'clock there was a crowd. There were men and women sitting and some standing. At Market street a woman with a big cape got on.' Near the door a young man was sitting trying to read a paper. He raised his eyes enough to see that a woman had entered, but went on reading, seemingly not noticing her. No ons gave her a seat, and so she caught hold of the strap Just above the young man's head. She was not very steady on It. and her cape kept hitting the paper. Finally she changed hands, and this turned her around, and the big cape swung right between the young man's eyes and the paper. Of course he could not read. Then he arose and offered her the seat. How much of the little comedy was intentional and how much was not may not be known, but it was as good as a play for those who saw it. Saved His Life by a fortunate discovery in the nick of time. Hundreds of Fersons suffering rom consumption have bad the progress of the disease stopped, and have been brought back to lite and health by the "Golden Medical ! Disco very" of Dr. x-iercc.
