VJLORS' STRIKE OFF

-llTCn SIX DAYS 20,000 GARMENT vonKEns wix their fight. Tlie Miners and Operators Doth Pleased -vrlth the Settlement of the Coal Dlcsers Difficulty IfW YORK, Aug. 3. Just at midnight. te slx-lay strike of the Brotherhood of Tailors was declared off. Leader Schoenfelit, representing the United Garment Yorkera of America, and Secretary B. Yltkowski. of the contractors' association, nt in the Astor House, where the representatives of the contractors association, after an investigation of the books containing the names of the contractors who had yielded to the demand of the strikers, formally declared the strike over and acknowledged the victory of the United Garment Yorkers over the contractors. After a careful perusal of the books and the bonded articles of the agreement. Secretary Wltkowskl exclaimed: 'We lay down our arms as did Xapoleon at Waterloo. Uq expressed a desire to meet the representatives of the Brotherhood of Tailors In secret conference to-morrow, for the purpose of ascertaining more fully th2 name3 of contractors affiliated with the organization, which he represented, who had gone around to headquarters and. signed the articles of agreement. Secretary Vitkoski will call a special meeting of the Contractors' Association on Monday afternoon to declare their acceptance of the terms demanded by the strikers and meekly submit to the requirements of the tailors. This action was brought aboutrRtta rat-etlnpf the Contractors' Association onfnc jnalter. late in the afternoon. The meeting at the Astor Hou3e between leader Schoenfeldt and Secretary Witkowski. at the head of the opposing factions, was anything but friendly. They-tried, but In vain, to assume an attitude of reconciliation, but It was evident after the introduction by ex-Assistant District Attorney Thomas J. Bradley that both men were stJJI defiant. "It is a grand victory," exclaimed Schoenfeld, "our cause Is fully vindicated." "I give you credit," rejoined the vanquished secretary of the Contractors Association. "I do not need to examine the boCids. as the evidence furnished me by the register is satisfactory, and I may add that a great number of those who had, as I now see. signed, took a prominent rart in the deliberations of our meeting this afternoon. We will get rid of them, I assure you. but there is no course open to us at present but to accept your term.". BOTH 'SATISFIED. ' Miners and Operators Jubilant Over the PlltIurr Agreement. PITTSBURG, Aug. 3.-Eoth the miners and operators of this district think they have the best end of the compromise wage agreement entered into yesterday. The operators are able to fulfill their contract and the miners arc Jubilant at the prospect of a uniform rate throughout the district after Oct. 1. The miners will prepare for an emergency by tightening their organization. National Organizer Fred Delcher started In to-day for a two months' campaign in the district. James O'Connor, Illinois State president, and M. J. RatchXcrd. Ohio State president, left to-day for their homes. Mr. O'Connor fears that the settlement arrived at here to-day may have the effect of cutting the wages of the Illinois miners. In that State the operators are paying better wages than are paid here, and his fear Is that iwhen they hear the fate ha3 not been advanced In the Pittsburg district, they will Insist on paying a lower rate until Oct. 1. Until that date the Ohio miners will not te affected and then the change will undoubtedly be a substantial advance. Strikers Run Ont a Reporter. DETROIT, Aug. 2. Details are being received by the Evening News to-day of the rough treatment given that paper's correspondent last night by the striking miners at Ishpeming. A crowd of . strikers Gathered at the "Western Union office, about 10:30 o'clock, and were threatening to expel the correspondent from the town. The Western Unlcn manager expostulated In vain. Rev. Mr. Coad, chairman of the union, entreated the correspondent to leave town for a time, and he consented. He continued, however, to write his dispatches until 11:15 o'clock, and then took the train -joo sji puBi5u:i oj 5iovq o9 pub osivj for Marquette, having been accompanied to the train by over Ct strikers.

The miners convention adjourned, after adopting a resolution not to work for less than GO cents, which Is a breaking away from the agreement arrived at In Pittsburg yesterday, which made the differential price in this State 51 cents until Oct. 1, and 60 cents from that time until Jan. 1. The convention r also ordered that the men in the Clinton district be ordered out, but It i3 doubtful If they will come out. They have been working for 51 cents under a special .permlsrelon because they are in close competition with Grape Creek. 111., where the price is 47Vi cents. The operators have called a meeting for next Tuesday. Striker Sue for lllgr Money. XV!S FRANCISCO, Aug. 3.

KANSAS GRASSHOPPERS. Tielr Comlnjr and Gotns ns Told by : . Governor 3XorlI," ' J ! ' Kansas City Times. Governor Morrill's favorite story is about the Kansas grasshoppers. Here it is: VUp to 1866 there had been no grasshoppers seen irr Brown counts. The county had been settled twelve years, and our people were In blissful ignorance of the existence of this plague. In the latter part of August of that year reports were brought In by settlers on the frontier that they had reared there In immense numbers, and vere very destructive. Day by day rtports came that they were drawing nearer, and tbout Sept. 8 they reached the western line of the county, moving from three to twelve miles per day. "On Sept. 10 the Immense army, which no man could number, reached Hiawatha, devouring every green thing from the face of the earth. The cornfields were literally ctripped. leaving the bare stalk with the cars hanging to it, and the latter often badly eaten. The corn was too far advanced, however, for them to Injure It very crrlously, and the only real loss from them that fall was in the destruction of forage. They deposited immense quantities of eggs, which hatched out in tho latter part of April and early In May. This young crop was, of course, obliged to feed upon whatever was within their reach until they were large enough to travel, and whenever they hatched in large numbers near fields of small grain there vrz no possibility of raising it. The beaten palhs and roads and the newly broken prairie seemed to be favorite locations for periling their eggs. Many fields of small craln rvere entirely destroyed that spring. rhlle many others escaped unharmed. The corn was not much injured, though in Svine ZcsJIties the early corn was destroyed. Atcut June 20 they left, and were not again r::n during the season. But a small pori'.z. of the country was under cultivation thrn. and the total loss was small cora--:r:d with that of 1S71. " "In the fall of 1SC3 they again appeared. " :i far less numerous, and causing far less z. Their appearance at this time caused 77 little excitement, and but slight imT.ce was attached to it; a few eggs deposited, and the following spring a -.j rarder.s were Injured, but not much atl;n was paid to it. . 7 the early par: of August. 1ST!, they - a appeared. At this time the country Xros much better settled, and the rail:;i:t rating to tha Roclty mountains,

brcu-ht the netri of tha approaching tests while they were hundreds of miles away, and weeks before they reached here. The season had been a very dry one, with frequent hot south winds, so common an attendant of droughts and so exceedingly dis

agreeable. The corn at best would have been nearly- a failure, but what little there was of grain or foliage speedily disappeared. Trees were stripped of their leaves., Apple and peach orchards could frequently be seen loaded with rich fruit, but without a leaf to protect It from the hot sun. In many cases the fruit was much Injured, and it was a common sight to see peach trees hanging full of pits, the meat of the fruit having been neatly nibbled off. In some cases the bark was eaten from trees. Nothing escaped, for they seemed quite Indifferent as to the quality of their food. Tomato plants, onions and even tobacco plants were utterly destroyed. "Again they laid their eggs In Immense numbers, the- ground being literally perforated by them. Heavy freight trains on the railroads were frequently delayed for hours by their gathering on the track in large numbers, the wheels crushing them and forming an oily, soapy substance. "The next spring but little apprehension of much damage was felt, and the farmers put in an unusual amount of small grain. When the warm days of spring came the little pests hatched out numbers far exceeding anything before experienced. The season was unusually favorable for small grain, and on May 1 there was as fine a prospect for an abundant harvest as was ever known. .Ten days later the myriads of little hoppers, fast developing, were sweeping it, away, and on June 1 but few fields pf grain were left. The corn -was much injured; nearly all the first planting was utterly destroyed. Many replanted at once. without waking until they had passed away, and again lost it all. In-one case a farmer planted two hundred acres four times. "Those were Indeed dark days for the rarmers. All hope for raising anvthlng for the season was well nl?h gone. The middle or June came, and still the hoppers tarried, me farmers, with wonderful courage and patience, had plowed ud their young grain lleM where The crop had been destroyed, and were busily engaged in planting com. rrom June 12 to 20 an immense amount of corn was planted. In an ordinary season this would have been too late to make any cr0P. but the season proved most favorable. About June 20 the-grasshoppers commenced leaving and by the 2Cth not one could be found. "If ever men showed true pluck undr discouraging circumstances, the farmers did during the spring of 1R73. Braver men never lived truer-men never bit bread. "The season .continued favorable, and an immense crop of corn and vegetables was rajd. "The plague has not visited Kansas since."

SPUR ON THE POLICE

31ns. coxxEirs iiusdaxd will take OCT A WARRAST FOR HOLMES. Lawyer Capps After a Talk with Con -rlct, Allen Believes the Latter 4 Knout Little of Value. CHICAGO, Aug. 3. L L. Conner, formerly the husband of Julia L. Conner, who was mysteriously disposed of with her daughter in the "castle" of H. H. Holmes, will swear oit two warrants Monday morning. One wily be for the' arrest of Holmes on the charge of murdering Mrs. Conner and her daughter Pearl, and the other will be for Patrick Quinlan on the same charge. Mr. Conner's determination to take the course was reached to-night after an unsatisfactory attempt to discover Just how' far Quinlan is Implicated with - Holmes with the disappearance of this mother and child. Mr. 'Conner's action in taking out the warrants will also serve to spur the police to new effort to conclusively prove that Quinlan. undeY the conspiracy law, Is equally cuilty with Holmes in the blotting out of existence of a half dozen people now missing and last seen within the walls of the castle. x CONVICT ALLEN POIPED. Knows Xothlnf? That Would Help to Hn njr Holmes. LITTLE HOCK, Ark., Aug. 3. Attorney W. A. Capps, of Fort Worth, was in the city, en route from Chicago to Fort Worth, the object of his visit here being to see "Mascot," or Allen, the convict, and as certain what he may know that will throw any light on the Holmes mystery. He is interested in a civil suit over the title of the Williams property in Fort Worth. As Allen, or "Bond," was the person to whom the property was first transferred, the con vict is considered a valuable witness in the case. Mr. Capps presented to Governor Clarke a letter of Introduction from States Attorney. J. J. Kern, of Illinois, authorizing Mr. Capps to represent him as State's at torney In his talk with the Governor. Mr. Capps was Interviewed by a press representative arter his talk with the convict. He said he does not believe Allen knows anything of Holmes's crimes that would hang him. "He may know something of Holmes's swindling operations," said Capps; "I am positive he aoes, but that is the extent of his knowledge. He could not be pardoned unless he possessed knowledge which would hang Holmes, but whatever he might say would have no weight unless corroborated. I think he has told all he knows and is now only bidding for cheap notoriety and immunity from labor, which is accorded him by frequent interviews." "Do you believe his story that Minnie William was alive six months ago?" "No; the Williams girls are both dead. While in Chicago I traced them up to within a few days of their disappearance. Nannie was murdered July 5, 1893, and Minnie between June 20 and July 5, tho same year. Allen may believe Minnie still alive, and, I doubt not, he could produce letters reputed to be from her, but I am, confident that they are forgeries, ' for which Holmes Is probably responsible, or of which he is cognizant. Mrs. Pat Quinlan recently confessed that she attested a deed in Chicago as Minnie Williams. He may be able to throw some light on the identity of this woman who Is masquerading as Minnie Williams, but beyond that and a knowledge of other frauds he cannot go." "Is the title to the Fort Worth property held by Holmes valid?" "It is a forgery, and absolutely valueless. It was originally transferred to A. E. Bond, a mythical person, and afterward to Holmes, or Pratt, as he was known there. I am absolutely sure Allen was in Fort Wcrth at the time he claims. The report that he was In. the Tennessee penitentiary at that time Is not true. He was he 'Mascot' of whom so much is said. While I had Quinlan in the sweat box at Chicago, I cornered him. and made him confess that he went to Fort Worth at the instance of Pietzel, who had paid him J35. At Fort Worth Quinlan met Allen, or 'Mascot. " Deputy Rae, of Fort Wortli, was with Mr. Capps when the Interview with Allen took place. ' ' , THOUGHT II K HAD A CLEW. A Colnmbm Mnn Turns lp with a. Story of Holmes nnd a Trunk. Charles H. Thorpe, of Columbus, has been one of the many to Inquire for Detective Geyer since the latter left the city. Mr. Thorpe thought he had some Information which would lead to the finding of the body of Howard Pietzel. He was In Franklin last October, about the time the boy disappeared. Holmes and MLss Yoke came there tq visit the latters parents. Holmes had with him a trunk and a box about three feet square. lie remained there but a day or two, and departed without his baggage. Mr. Thorpe thought perhaps the box taken there contained the body of the boy. Investigation has been made at Franklin. Mrs. Yoke says the trunk contained her daughter's clothing and the box contained some newly-purchased linen. The box Is still preserved, and It is too small to have contained the body. Mrs. Yoke says Holmes spent several days at Franklin between October 1 and 10, and ehe cannot understand how he could have rented -a house in Indianapolis and spent much time in it. During that time Holmes is supposed to have made trips to St. Louis and Cincinnati, but it is not known that he did go, for it could have been possible for him to have spent the time in thte city and reported that he was somewhere else upon business. Trace of Holmes Erery-where. HALIFAX. X. S., Aug. 3. Police authorities are convinced that H. H. Holmes was arrested here ten years ago. The man arrested gave the name of James Holmes, and, his companion gave the name of WilNam Brecken. They were caught with fortyeight pounds of dynamite in their possession and Eoynton swimming suits. It was believed that they intended to blow up the British war ship Canada, which had Prince George of Wales on board. They were sentenced to one year In jail. While there it was given out that Holmes ad mltted that they intended to blow up tl-vs war ship, for which job they were to bo well paid. Holmes came from Philadelphia, and the detectives found out that he was a swindler. His picture resembles those of 11. 11. Holmes. Geyer Holds to His First Opinion. PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 3. Detective Geyer, who was ordered home for a consultation In the Holmes case with District Attorney Graham, arrived to-day. The con ference with the district attorney will be held Monday, and his future movements will be governed accordingly. Geyer believes that Howard Pietzel was burled somewhere In Indianapolis. He places ome credence In the stories which come irom Chicago of Holmes's movements, but thinks that they are more highly colored than the actual facts warrant. THE 'ART OF SWIMMING. Rales in n Xatshell for the Benefit of Deelnners. New York Ledger. Swimming Is a little hard at first. All one wants is to get used to the water first, for when he gets a mouthful it distresses him. A good swimmer will throw it-out, turn over on his back and will be all right in a moment. Tho best way to pick up swimming is to go Into the water up to your arms and strike out, keeping both feet off the bottom. - Mind., don't let one drag. Just think you won't go under and you will be all right. In striking off. the beginner should fall upon the water gently, keeping his head and neck . perfectly upright, his breast advancing forward in unison with the legs. The back cannot be too much hollowed or the head too much thrown back. The hands should be placed Just in front of tho breast, the fingers pointing forward and kept close tPcether, with the thumbs to the edge of the"1 forefinger; the hands should be made rather concave on the Inside, though not. too much. On the stroke f the hands they , should be carried forward to the utmost extent; they should next be swept to the side at, a distance from but as low as the hips, and should then be drawn up again by bringlns the arms, toward the side, bending the elbows upward and the wrists downward so as to let the hands hang, down while the arms are raising them to the first attitude, and so on; The legs should be moved alternately with the hands. They should be drawn up with the knees Inward and the soles of the feet Inclined outward. They should be thrown backward as widely apart from each other as possible. These motions of tha tiztz and lc3 r.17 ta.rractlcci cut

of v;ater, and U-'vcuIA be well to ' do to, and become familiar with the motions. When In the watr-r the learner should

draw In his breath when his hands are descending toward the' hips, and expel the air from the lungs when beginning the stroke with the tiandS.- ' Xext to swimming. Coating Is Just as needful. One tired out may turn over and rest. The position in the water is the same as that in swimming except as to the legs; the arms should be stretched out over the head in the direction of the body. If-the legs begin to sink you should throw cut your chest and keep the loins as low as possiDie. in tnis position tne numan uouy, which is SDeeiflcallv lighter than water, may float at your pleasure. In floating, the mouth should always be kept closed and respiration should be rapid. There are perhaps half a dozen strokes in swimming. The overhand stroke is the fastest, but then It Is tiresome. By far the het is the Archlmfdean or side stroke. One can make five feet at a stroke in a fair current. The body Is turned eitner on me left or right side, as the swimmer chooses. Tho ft nprfnrm tH usunl motions In this style of swimming. The arm from under the shoulder stretches Itseir out quictuy ai the same time the feet are striking. The other arm strikes at the same time as the impelling of the feet. The hand or tne latter arm begins its stroke on a level with th hpfld. while thp Kand is again brought forward in a flat position, and the feet are contracted: the stretched-out nana is, wnne working, drawn back toward the breast, but not so much impelling as susta-n!ng. Greater speed can be made on the side than in swimming the breast stroke, there being less resistance to the water. Tppa.iin? the watpr is easily learned. There are two ways. In the first the hands are compressed against the hips, and the feet describe the usual circle. The other consists in not contracting both legs at tne same time, but one after the other, so that while one remains contracted the other dearihM thA circle. In this motion the thighs are placed In distended position, and curved as If in a naif-sitting posture. THRICE HAPPY PAPA rRCSIDEXT CLEVELAND'S LETTER TO A FATHER OP FOUR GIRLS.

Kaplan, of Cincinnati, sent President Cleveland a blank book called "Baby's Biography," on the occasion of the. birth of each of his children, in which to record the early events In the history of the baby's life. The book sent recently elicited the following reply: "Buzzard's Bay, July 18. "A. O.

Is Reing; Discussed Largely Abroad. . NEW YORK, Aug. 3. Ex-Mayor Hugh J. Grant returned to-day from Europe, where he has been on his wedding tour with his bride, the daughter of Senator Murphy. To a reporter Mr. Grant said, referring to the leadership of Tammafli'JIalJ;, "It is -unusual 'to decline, to take something that has not been offered. I have given no Intimation to anybody that, I would take an active part In politics. I shall take enly an Interest In public affairs that every citizen ought to take. "Yes, I have heard about the rigid enforcement of the excise law here, and that on Sunday, New York becomes a desert. This liquor question was largely responsible for the defeat of the Liberal party in England. Nobody, can .dispute that a law ought to be enforced, 'but the excise law should be so changed as to permit the voters in the several parts of the State to determine whether liquor should be sold In their communities on Sundays." Regarding the proposed free coinage of silver. Mr. Grant said: ;i do not think it is now so disturbing a,' question asit was, but there is little Interest abroad In our free coinage discussions. The general question of bimetallic currency is interesting people abroad. There are many bimetallists In England. In Germany there is a marked willingness to enter into an international agreement forrthe coinage of both gold and silver. The holding of an international conference preliminary to such an agreement depends largely upon the action of Great Britain. The new British Ministry contains some ardent advocates of a bimetallic currency, ,, notably Mr. Balfour, and the new Parliament may contain more advocates of it han the previous Parliament, as the bimetallic agitators catechised all the candidates for election upon this matter." ...- INTERVIEW WITH GIBBONS. The Cardinal Admits the Church Has Abont Lost France." ?fEW YORK, Aug. 3. A World correspondent in London ca'bles an interview with Cardinal Gibbons, In the course of which the Cardinal says, concerning the Catholic Church in France: "The French church is very strong, but it seems to me that somehow the church In this country has got out of touch with the people, and, what Is worse, it manifests little .disposition to "get Into touch with them. The French church is helrarchial, rather than democratic." "When Leo XIII disappears, is there no likelihood of a reaction?" the correspondent asked. . . . . "I think not." observed ni3 imminence. "Progress demands a steady forward move ment, and the Catholic Church cannot go back. The advance of the last few years will not havo been futile. . The work of Leo XIII will not be lost." "And the effect of your . visit to Rome upon the American church?" queried the world correspondent. "We in America shall continue to work quietly and steadily as heretofore. We are making progress and are perfecting our organization. Naturally, the fact of being closely in touch with the head of the church cannot fall to render our task lighter nor Increase our zeal. , Borax ns a Fruit Preservative. Information. . Frank M. Smith' of California (known as the "Borax Kins"), has made an important extension of the use of borax. The utility of this substance in preserving fresh meat has been demonstrated. He has now tried it on fruit, with similar good results. Ills experiment was made with cherries, which were packed in pjwdered borax ana Kept ror three weeks, nneti thev proved to be as fresh and good as at first. Other cherries, exposed at the same time. were completely spoiled in thrae days. He then packed a quantity of cherries in a barrel of borax and sent them by slow freight to Chicago, where they arrived In perfect condition. This discovery may prove of much importance. Borax is cheap and abundant, and the same material can be used again and again. Private families and hotels, says Mr. Smith, could have borax bins in which fresh fruit could b kept long after the season, and they could enjoy "cnemes m the autumn ana Ees at Christmas."

Lament of the Aged Citizen for the Days of . the .One-IUne Show. Providence Journal. "That piece about the sale of the old Baker brewery, on the corner of Pine and Richmond streets, made me think of the days when I was a boy, and went to Fuller's circus, where that Dronertv now Is." said the aged citizen, reflectively, as he smiled at the recollections the Incident had brought back. "The circus was here, I think, all the winter of 1833. I think it was '33, in fact, I'm sure It was. Fuller had with him the two Turners, Tim and Napoleon, sons of old Turner, famous circus performers, and the show they gave was great. "Circus performances ain't what they used to be, by a long shot. Nowadays they have three rings and a stage, and I don't know what all. A man can't watch them all at once, and what he sees ain't any good compared with what It used to be. These bareback performers are all right, may be, but give me the old show, where the country greenhorn from the audience tackled the trick horse, and shed 'stecn suits of clothes on horseback, until Anally he came out all pink and gold and did feats that make your nair stand on end. Those were good old days, I tell you." The old man laid back In his chair and said nothing for several minutes, while his memory carried him back to his boyhood days. Finally he commenced again: "That circus was a great show. They spent the whole winter here, but it didn't pay. Circuses didn't often pay in those aays, not even to the proprietors. Tney lett tenn one Sunday morning, and pretty near ly everybody was up to see them off. They left a lot of bills behind them. Circuses never paid bills then, and everybody letting them have anything took big chances and usually whistled for their money. Of course, the stablemen and the rest that they owed couldn't serve any writs on them on Sunday, but some one got a drum and neaded the procession, playing the 'Rogues March They were drummed out of town, and they never came here again. But that was a good circus, a great circus. I have never seen the beat of it yet. "Why, pretty nearly everybody went to see that circus.-and why they couldn't pay their bills I don't see. To show you the drawing power of a circus in those, days. and especially Fuller's circus, which was tne best there was, I'll tell you of what actually happened to them up in Maine. They went to a country town ud there one day, where they calculated they'd. have a certain number of people. They knew the population of the town and the country districts around it, and figured that they'd nave about people enough to fill threefourths of the seats. Maine wasn't much of a place for shows the people were too good to go or something and they expected to come out a little more than even on the show. "Well, sir, when the doors opened the ticket seller saw a crowd that nearly took his breath away. He couldn't sell tickets fast enough, and they had to start another man at It to relieve the crush.- The people Jammed in until every seat was gone, and there wasn't a corner left where any one could stand up. Old Fuller was tickled to death at the returns from the box office, but he couldn't make out where all the people had come from. There were more in there than the whole population of the towns, and he wondered and wondered where the rest of them belonged. "He had the crowd fast enough, and he gave ut wondering after awhile and start ed to count his money. After the show was over .the things were packed up and the wagons started for the next town. Then old Fuller found out where all those extra people had come from. On their way out they passed a large graveyard, - and as it was moonlight they could see in every part of the yard men and women going down into graves. That explained it all. The show was so good that even the dead wanted to see it and rose up from their graves to go. "Those were great old days," concluded the old citizen, as he lay back in his cnair. reflectively. v THE NEGLECTED SENSE. One Respect In Which Man Is an In ferior Being. Boston Transcript. Man must acknowledge, in spite of his conceit as a superior being, that he is hopelessly distanced in special faculties by many of the lower orders. Families of "the beasts that perish" excel him immeasurably In strength and elasticity, rapidity of motion and refinement of sensual perception. And if it were not for the compla cent characterization "instinct"-by which wo arhitrarilv differentiate their Intelli gence from our own we should probably have to confess that tneir more aeucate senses were often accompanied' with a higher, rather than lower, mentality, too. Whoever saw an animal scent the breeze with every sign of being stirred by definite and exciting conceptions, without a sense of envy? In many cases the human race has partially succeeded, by education, in attaining some of the finer sensitiveness which is the gift of the brute creation, or which has been developed therein by spe cial needs. Touch and taste, hearing and siffht. are cultivated to results or great power and delicacy. Why has the sense of smell alone been left to be the servant of instinct" instead of being gathered into the fair ' ministering group of the handmaids of reason? We know that when man's other senses are interrupted iy ac cident, under the stress of necessity, smell becomes like its xeuows in similar cases, a valuable guide, and develops wonderful and wholly unexpected capacities. But unless this enforced dependence exists we leave this great channel of communication to itself. Let us ask seriously. Why not have a training school for the nose, as well as the eye, the ear or the hand? The. obvious objection, that this world of ours has so many more bad smells than good ones, that It Is better this sense should be left alone, is one which many people will allege, but probably rot witn any great sincerity, as it proves too much. As we are. we are best on m making me xuiiest use or all our possibilities. We might as well com mit absolute suiciae as voluntarily or passively to allow the death or the decay of any faculty. . .. This particular sense of rmell seems the last, almost, that -rational, thinking beings should have left unfertile It is so very near the brain. What wonaerrui memories and affections lie waiting only to be revived by a scent! Nothing stimulates and excites many people nice toe pungent odors of marigolds or the tomato plant. Some persons' moral forces are altogether, betrayed by the intoxicating perfumes of the magnolia or the aromatic odors of Eastern gums. It seems almost an intrinsic quality of vice and virtue which U conveyed in the musk and heliotrope, or In the violet and orris.

ci-l:VinW ss symbols with more or less aptitude. Let anyone try for himself to arrange familiar smells, as they seem to express moral attributes and see how much easier and more natural their grouping

will be! Is not this a plea for the scientinc treatment of the sense, even though it should start from ' an arbitrary arrange ment of associations? Were we to make a children's spelling book of primary odors, where the simDler nualltles should be sym bolized, much would be gained. More subl connections with the more complicated emctions would follow and as music, which enters the ears as "the food of love," or sights which greet the eye like, "the happy antnmn flMd" mrfv themselves to the Impressions of the immortal words 6t seer and poet in the brain so the scent of the lily of the vaney ana tne. aroma ut ire nine mlcrht be esDoused in the fancy with the Idyll of the passion or the threnody of th naln.

One can fancy a trawler, with a store of little sachets or scent bottles labeled with the names of the dear absent ones, as ne snufli up tne appropriate perrume be. -fil ing to member arier membt; cf his beloved circle, with what keen Intensity the con ception of love or kinsman or friend comes Home to him. To all wno nave expenencea the sudden rush of memory which returns with a long forgotten odor, the idea will not be fanciful, but a very practical one. And If the heart yearns for the "sound of a voice that is 81111" in vain, the fragrance which belonged to the personality of one departed, would not be a mockery like the empty touch, but be a cultivated. Imaginative something of an actuA? presence. Though ft mieht tw impossible to construct such a positive science of odors as of sounds, why not suppose, with proper cultivation, a symphony of dainty smells, thematic, interweaviner. blending into its rich crescendo and bewllderinfr finale? The chief field for development, however, or course, lies In the sphere of association. This enor mously important factor, wnicn is leu to chance in all our sensual experiences, would be the first element -in the "nasal education." It would be no small part of its benefit to th8 race that this very influence of association, indissoluble from the sense of smell, should be thus more widely vaiuea in other connections. Old as the world is, we have not yet begun, while cramming the Intellect with a vast variety of foreign material, to educate, to educe, from the senses their potential powers, with their corollaries or varied, intense and compucatea enjoyment not servlne the srrosser appetites alone, but the highest resources of the im aginative faculty. .Not only so, dui Deyonu the refined sybaritic pleasures thus made possible, the passage is easy to the higher and spiritualized enjoyments which are so mysteriously implied when tne aposue declares "there Is a natural body and there Is a enirltua.1 bodv The fragrance of the prayers of the saints, the celestial har monies of th spheral music, tne Batisracuon of the sleht In the beatific vision, are the in satiable pleasures of that other body for which, as in all gooa tnings, mis present one. in which as yet we groan, is the school master. ' PARTISANISM IN THIS SOME IXSIDE AFFAIRS FROM THE OFFICE OF THE EXECUTIVE. Hott Governor Matthews Shows Ilia Love for the "Dear People" and for the Dear Democracy ' Governor Matthews Is nothing If not a partisan. Ho will protect the members of his party and, incidentally, the Interests of the State, but when It comes to seeing to the interest of the State when It ia opnosed to tho interest of his party, hft Is ready to close the eye that is devoted to the State. This was exemplified in four In stances recently. A member of the Legisla ture may not hold any other office during the term for which he was elected and still be a member of the Legislature, although his nrosDectlve duties with that body are fulfilled. The acceptance of any other office works a resignation as a member of the Legislature. A short time ago Senator Glfford sent an aDDllcatlon to the Secretary of State for a certificate as notary public. The commission was "duly made out and cent to Governor Matthews for his signature. As soon as the Governor saw the name he recognized that to sign It would make the office of Senator from Tipton vacant, and, under the law, he would be compelled to call a special election and put that district to an expense of several thousand dollars to fill the vacancy, all of which would rebound with great force against the Senator.

Certainly tha whole arrangement and grouping is an affair of the Judgment, since history may not be indiscriminate; characters differ with the epoch. That would be to make of Bayard a Don Quixote.

The Imagination and memory have an equal part. 1 am transported into t.Me psychological world of each individual; I absorb them; I adapt myself to the hurr.or and disposition of each, which is not always agreeable. Human passions exist diametrically opposed to my own psychological maiviauansm.

Therefore. I must be alone to write. Generally I walk about when composing, and for this reason 1 d better work in summer under the trees than In winter between four walls.

After the Bonaparte -cult not yet dead, but happily dying are we to have th Bismarck cult? It begins to look as if we were. Portraits of Bismarck In all th papers, each one more bulldog-like than the other; anecdotes, criticisms, accounts of his domestic life, his animals, his houso?, even of his flirtations, encumber the press. Tr.e object of popular adoration must still, it seems, be a man of violence a conqueror, a self-seeker. The adoration of the world for such men is like the spirit of a coued doff which licks & cruel master's hand the more it is beaten. We like a man of moral force, with good reason; we like to stc a man who Is capable of carryirg out a grf at idea even at the point of the swori, like Garibaldi.
