J., Aug. 31.—William Harrity, who is here with his family, showed no dismay over his defeat. He said: ”1 am not greatly disappointed at the outcome. When I recall that during the campaign ol last year the names of such Democrats as 'William C. Whitney and David B. Hill were hissed in meetings held in Tammany Hall because of their refusal to acquiesce in all of the declarations of the Chicago convention I find it quite easy to be philosophical over the situation. The action of the committee and of the convention is to be regarded as a disapproval of my refusal, to believe in the free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at the ratio of 16 to 1 without waiting for the aid or consent ot any other nation. But it will not change my opinion in that respect. In my judgment the time is not far distant when the Democracy of Pennsylvania will recede from its present position. It must do so if it desires to win victories in Pennsylvania.” As to his position in the Democratic committee Mr. Harrity said: "That will be a matter for the Democratic national committee itself, which is the only body authorized to act in the premises. I will dispute the right of any claimant to membership in it from Pennsylvania until the committee itself has passed upon the subject.” biiyamsm repudiated. Virginia Popoerucy Deserted l>y Gov. Charles T. O’Ferrnll. WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.—The Post tomorrow will print a lengthy and important interview’ with Governor Charles T. O’Ferrall, of Virginia, who last fall declined to support the nominees and platform of the Chicago convention, and the recognized head of the gold Democrats in Virginia, Governor O’Ferrall talks with great plainness as to his present position and his future action. He announces his determination not to support, under present conditions, the Democratic state ticket recently nominated at the Roanoke convention and gives his reasons for reaching this decision. He criticises in emphatic language the conduct of the leaders at that convention for indorsing the Chicago platform and also pays his respects to the free-silver Democrats, who have made him a target of abuse, claiming that they have taken advantage of his position, knowing that he could not answer them, and charging them with attempting to seek notoriety through hurling epithets at him. He reiterates his charge that Bryan had made every arrangement to enter the State in 1893 and make speeches in behalf of the Populist who was running for Governor against him and gives additional evidence to substantiate his assertion. He speaks of Senator Daniel as having presented in the Senate a resolution indorsing Cleveland’s action regarding the Chicago strike and yet w’ith having voted in the comnrittee on resolutions in the Chicago convention denouncing Cleveland for the very act which the senator had previously commended. Governor O’Ferrall also defends his course In ordering out the military to prevent lynchings and calls attention to the fact that although there were sixty-two lynchings in the State from 1880 to 1894. there have only been two during his administration. He says that he has no apologies or regrets for his course in politics and intimates that if,Bryan is renominated .on another Chicago platform Virginia may go Republican in 1900. REPUBLICAN LEAGUE. Meeting of the National Executive Committee at Chicago. CHICAGO, Aug. 31.—The first formal meeting of the executive committee of the National Republican League since the convention at Detroit in July was held at the Auditorium to-day. The following members of the executive committee were present: C. M. Wilcox, Minnesota; L. W. Blllingsly, Nebraska; Senator J. M. Thurston, Nebraska; F. L. Edinborough, Michigan; D. H. Stine, Kentucky; F. R. Conw'ay, Iowa; George A. Kurtz, Indiana; Melville Hayes, Ohio; J. C. Napier, Tennessee; A. M. Milan, Indian Territory, and President L. J. Crawford, Kentucky. Notwithstanding the fact that elections are still some distance in the future, a plan of action was draw'n up and agreed to relative to the state elections in Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio, lowa and Massachusetts, this fall. After a warm debate it was also agreed that an attendance of seven members at any regularly called meeting of tnA executive committee will be sufficient to constitute a quorum to act for the whole body. Senator Thurston announced that the representatives of the league In Nebraska would have everything in order for the next convention in Omaha in June. At that time the trnnsmississippi exposition will open in Omaha and President McKinley will set the machinery in motion. The exact date of the convention was left for Chairman L. J. Crawford to decide. He was instructed to make the date that on which President McKinley will visit the exposition, so that he may attend the gathering of young Republicans. The financial discussion was given a sensational turn, it is said, by ihe threat of Secretary M. J. Dowling to resign unless satisfactory means for the maintenance of the organization are provided. He was persuaded to withdraw his resignation, but not until a resolution presented by Melville Hayeg; the Ohio member, was adopted, authorizing Pdesident Crawford. Secretary Dowling, Senator John M. Thurston, I. M. Hamilton of Illinois, and Mr. Hayes to make such arrangements with regard to finance as they deem proper and to call upon the national committee and tender that body the servlet's of the league. Secretary Dowling’s resignation hangs on the report of this committee. Mr. Dowling refused to say anything about his effort to resign, but it was lee.rned he wished to give up the place because the league has forced upon him the burden not only of getting along without salary, but of bearing also the expense of maintaining headquarters. It is understood when he took the position the league should be made an adjunct of the national committee and look to that body for both funds and directions as to policy and work in off times as well as during campaigns. v Nebraska Popoernt*. LINCOLN, Neb.. Aug. 31.-There Is no doubt in the minds of the delegates to the free-silver state convention that the freesilver Populists, Democrats and Republicans will unite harmoniously to-morrow and agree upon nominees for supreme judge and two state university regents. Wm. J. Bryan said to-night: “The three parties will certainly get together in fusion,” and his opinion was the sentiment of the delegates on every hand. The hotels are filled to overllowing and a conservative estimate places the number of delegates at 2,500. There is no hall in the city large enough to accommodate them in a single convention, so a separate convention will be held to-mororw afternoon by each party, all three convening ut 2 o'clock. Setli Low for Mayor. NEW YORK. Aug. 31.—The executive committee of the Citizens’ Union, at a meeting to-day, decided to formally announce in the name of the organization the nomination of Seth Low, president of Columbia College, as its candidate for the first mayor of Greater New York. The announcement w ill not be made until after the second meeting of Lemuel E. Quigg’s conference committee, which thus far the representatives of the Citizens’ Union have refused to attend, although they have friends among the regular Republicans. Senator Lindsay's Prediction. Bt>eetal to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON. Aug. 31.—Senator Lindsay, of Kentucky, who is in Washington to-day, says it is his belief that the soundmoney Democrats of his State will cast 75,000 votes at the coming election. He does not say in .so many words that the Republicans will elect thedr ticket, but there is no escape from that conclusion if his 75.000 estimate of the sound-money Democratic strength proves to be correct. McLuurin Probably Nominated. COLUMBIA. S.

The moon shone faintly through the mist and it seemed to trouble the boy who was locking at it from a window. "Papa.” he said at last, "if they can’t mukf it look any brighter than that 1 should think the oificers would get after the moonshiners.” For a long time the father was undecided whether the boy had got off a good thing unwittingly or whether the germ of the professional humorist had taken root in the bov *.nd needed to be w haled out of him.

MR. RUSH HAD MANY SINS FAIRMOUNT MAN’S CONSCIENCE FORCES MORE CONFESSIONS. North Vernon Now Owns Its Water Works and Electric Plant—l’ressedAVarc Scale Signed. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. FAIRMOUNT, Ind., Aug. 31.—There is still much excitement and much speculation as to what will be the outcome of the recent confession made by AV. C. Rush implicating a score of citizens in dynamiting a saloon. The men accused are in a waiting attitude and saying nothing. There is little probability now that proceedings will be commenced in court, as Henderson Oliver, who had been retained as attorney for Morris, admitted to a newspaper man that a compromise might be arranged between Luther Morris and the men who are charged with wrecking his saloon. Mr. Oliver stated that all he and those associated with him w’anted, as the case stands, was to be reimbursed for the losses sustained. If his client is not reimbursed he will talk of prosecution later. A. M. Pressnail, whom Kush implicated, enters an emphatic denial to the charge. He says Rush’s attempt to implicate him is the result of resentment growing out of matters both of a business and political character. Rush asked for credit at his store, which was refused, and the former threatened to get even. Rush is a radical Prohibitionist, while Pressnall is a leader in Republican circles, and this also caused dissensions. Instances are given which tend to show that Rush has attempted to shoulder all the sins in this county. In experience meetings last winter he admitted that he has been swindling his berry pickers yearly by long measurements. Another given is that he went to the township trustee and confessed to have overcharged for damage done his sheep by dogs. He insists on righting a swindle worked in a horse trade fifteen years ago. The Marion Chronicle said, editorially, yesterday: ’’There should be a suspension of judgment in the matter of the confession of Walter Rush, of Fairmount, until his story is sifted and all the facts in the case are known. His story may be true, and, again, it may be the result of an abnormally quickened conscience and a mind perverted by religious excitement. Mr. Rush is understood to be in the confession business and telling that he has been guilty of infractions other than those connected with the dynamiting of Morris’s saloon. At the same time, it is evident that someone planted the dynamite sticks and ignited the fuse, and. so long as the story goes unchallenged, the disposition will be to believe Rush’s story’.” WRECKED BY THE SECRETARY. Receiver’* Report Show* Condition of Farmer*’ S. and L. Company. Special to the Indtanarolis Journal. £ORT AAAANE, Ind., Aug. 31.—Receiver A. A. Purman, of the Indiana Farmers’ Savings and Loan Associalton, has mailed to each stockholder a classified statement of the assets and liabilities of the associacondition. brought about entirely by the misappropriation and willful waste of funds by Carlos E. Rhoades, the secretary’, who absconded and is now supposed to be in Canada. Rhoades was in at the organization and owned a handsome residence on East Berry street, in one of the fashionable quarters of the city. He borrowed money from the association to pay for the house, but after occupying it for a year had to give it up and let the association take It. He was prominent in religious affairs arid was leader of the choir in one of the principal churches in this city. During the last presidential campaign he forced himself on the Republican committee of this county and insisted on making speeches in thy* country schoolhouses in this congressional district; but after making a few talks it was found necessary to pun him off the stump, as his work was proving a damage to the cause. About two years ago he secured a divorce from his wife, cruelly deserting her, and, while not actually compelling her to marry another man, he brought the affair about, by introducing the young man to her and keeping him continually about the house for a year before securing a divorce. He married again within two months, and the former Mrs. Rhoades married the young man that Rhoades kept about the house. Ail this rapidly lowered the standing of the Rhoadeses in East Berry-street society and he was soon compelled by ostracism and loss of property to seek less pretentious residence quarters. The secretary left the city hurriedly one night a month ago. and not the slightest trace has been lound of him. His wife left a few days after and was followed by officers to the home of relatives in Illinois, where she has remained ever since. Her mail is being w’atched, but nothing has come to her yet to give any clew to his whereabouts, so far as discovered. Rhoades’s entire misappropriation and money he took from the association amounts to nearly $24,000. Receiver Purman is winding up the affairs of the concern as rapidly as possible and his published report gives the condition of affairs in a nutshell. The liabilities are $96,473. The assets, assuming that all the mortgages can be collected and the real estate owned by the association is worth ti-° appraised value, amount to $66,740.50. Sc ne of the items w ill not pan out as much as their face value. Additional assets amounting to a large sum are practically worthless. Rhoades left unsecured notes to the amount of $18,298.51, besides misappropriating $5,522.14. The failure of this association will not in any way affect the other associations of this city. The last report of the auditor of state show’s them to be strong and most conservatively managed. TWO MUNICIPAL PLANTS. North Vernon Celebrate* Opening ol New Electric-Light System. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. NORTH VERNON,Ind.,Aug. 31.—This city W’as a scene of a great festivity last night, the occasion being the exercises connected W’ith the formal starting of the new’ electric light plant.

William Fitzgerald then accepted the plant in behalf of the citizens in a neat speech, after which the machinery in the power house was inspected. North Vernon now’ owns her own water works and electric light plant. AVAL RILEY’S WIDOW Ask* SIO,OOO Damage* from the Alan Who Killed Him. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. new ALBANY, Ind., Aug. 31—The Grand Crossing property at Chicago, given in trust by Dr. W. L. Breyfogle for the benefit of the creditors of the defunct New Albany Banking Company, has been sold to Mrs. Henrietta Wilson, of Chicago, for $20,000, the amount of a claim she held against the property. When the bank failed in 1893, it w r as claimed the property was worth $2.i0,000 ar.d would pay all indebtedness, but an examination of the property caused it to dwindle in value. The creditors expected no dividends for the sale and therefore are not disappointed. Since the failure the creditors have only received 29 per cent, of their claims and nearly $109,000 still duo. As there are no further chances for dividends,'the criminal cases against President Winstandley and Cashier Frederick, charged with embezzlement, will be vigorously pushed at the next term of Circuit Court. A DOG’S GHASTLY FIND. Body of a. Dead Little Girl Found in a Fence Corner. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. VINCENNES, Ind., Aug. 31.—A farmer’s dog made a ghastly find at Sandborn today. A farmer was going to the village when his dog ran into a fence corner along the pubile roadside and began barking. The farmer investigated and saw a child’s hand sticking out of the ground. He secured assistance and the body of a four-year-old girl w T as exhumed and taken to Sandborn. The whole matter is shrouded in mystery, but it is thought to be the child of a gang of “campers” who were in that neighborhood recently. As the body show’ed no marks of violence it is thought the child took sick and died and the parents buried It to save funeral expenses. No trace of the campers can be ascertained. Their sudden departure can only be attributed to the death of the child. Murderer Boswell Captured. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

WICKLIFFE THINKS SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN TRIED. * Kentucky Postmistress Who Has Been Removed from Office—lndianapolis Democrat Restored to Place. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.—First Assistant Postmaster General Perry S. Heath is called upon to preside over an interesting case involving civil-service principles. The scene is laid in Louisville. When Dr. Baker, the new postmaster, took hold he found on the pay rolls as secretary to the postmaster a Mrs. M. F. Wfikliffe. The doctor forwarded specimens of her work to the department and asked for her dismissal on grounds ’of inefficiency. Yesterday Mr. Heath acquiesced in Dr. Baker’s recommendation and authorized him to declare a vacancy. For thirty-six hours hq has been flooded with telegrams from Mrs. Wickliffe and her friends protesting against the action. Mrs. Wickiilfe says she has never received notice of charges, claiming a right to trial under the President's latest civil-service order and charging that the real ground for her dismissal is the fact that she is a niece of ex-Senator Blackburn. She will have a trial, but the chances for her reinstatement may be considered nebulous. The case promises to be sensational from a civil-service point of view. ♦ THE NICARAGUA CANAL. Views of the Director of the Bureau of American Republics. WASHINGTON. Aug. 31.—The Bureau of American Republics will issue a bulletin on tho Nicaragua canal in a few days. Director Smith, the author of the bulletin, in reply to a question, said that he believed the present administration would prosecute the Niacargua canal enterprise. In concluding an interview Mr. Smith said: “It may be said, indeed, that every President of the United States from the time of Monroe has favored the construction of a canal across the isthmus under American auspices. A canal would be more beneficial to the commerce of the world than any one now thinks. Its importance to the world's commerce is obviously greater than that of the Suez canal, which has fully demonstrated its usefulness and its capacity to yield rich returns to the investors. The Suez canal is utilized chiefly for the commerce of Europe. The Nicaragua canal would not only bring Europe.much closer to the Pacific littoral of tne two Americas and the South Pacific islands, but would be of immense advantage in shortening distances between the eastern and western coasts of South America, the western coast of South America and the Wesetm shores of North America, besides making tributary to America the whole field of Japan. China, eastern Indio-China, Malaysia and Australasia. One of the most interesting facts in connection with the Asiatic trade is the remarkable advancement of Russia by means of the great Siberian railroad into the northern part of China. The completion of the railroad will give an immense impetus to Asiatic trade, from which the countries of the two American continents would undoubtedly receive great benefit by means of a shorter route to the Asiatic ports. The Nicaragua route offers to the commerce of the Eastern ports of the United States trading to the Pacific ports the advantage of from 3.000 to about 10,000 miles in distance saved, and to those of Europe from 1,036 to 6,100 miles. The distance saved from New York by water to San Francisco w'ould be 9,304 miles; from Liverpool to San Francisco, 6,996 miles; from New York to Hong Kong there would be a saving of 4.163 miles; to Melbourne, Australia, 3,290 milea These economies in distance might be multiplied almost indefinitely, and there seems to be no question whatever of the vast commercial importance of the canal.” Patents Grunted Indian inns.

The observations would be cabled over, thus proving a triumph for the American cable as well as American meteorology.

MRS. JOHN DREW DEAD AMERICA’S VETERAN ACTRESS PASSES AWAY AT LARCII.MO NT. Story of Her Active Stage Career, Extending; Over Seventy Years as Player ami Manager. NEW YORK. Aug. 31.—Mrs. John Drew, the famous actress, died at 3 o’clock this afternoon in her seventy-eighth year at the Bevan House in the Larchmont, where she has been spending the summer with her son John Drew. She was tak’en ill only a few days ago and sank rapidly. She had been suffering for several years, but not striouslyunlil May or June last. During the last few days it was apparent the ’end was not far off. Yesterday, however, Mrs. Drew seemed much better than for several days previous. This morning she seamed in good spirits and chatted with those about her. Mrs. Drew soon afterwards became unconscious. She lay in that condition for three hours, until about seven minutes before 3 o’clock, wh’eri she was taken with convulsions which lasted until the end came. She was in excellent health recently w'hen her granddaughter, Miss Ethel Barrymore, paid her a visit from London, where she returned to accept an engagement with Henry Irving. Mrs. Drew s last public appearance was during a brief engagement in "The Sporting Duchess” in this city a year ago. Mrs. Drew will go down to fame as the greatest Mrs. Malaprop of the American stage. This Is the character in “The Rivals” with which she had so long been Identified and in which she made her last appearance in this city in the great “Rivals” cast that played here at English’s at the close of the 1896 season.* She had played in Indianapolis countless times, almost, and was cherished no more highly here than in every prominent city in the United States, where the theater-going public knew' her so well. That famous tour of “The Rivals,” with Its cast of famous stars, including Mrs. Drew’, Jefferson, Goodwin, Crane, the two Hollands, Francis Wilson, the Marlowe Tabers and Fannie Rice, was Mrs. Drew's last public venture, with the exception, perhaps, of a benefit performance in New York the following summer, that gave her a stage career in America of sixty-nine years. Mrs. John Drew’s history is almost the history of the American stage. Her forte was high comedy parts. Some idea of the extent of her experience on the stage may be obtained when it is said that she was leading lady to Edwin Forrest as Julie De Mortimer to Forrest's Richelieu in the first American production of Bulwer’s famous play at the Walnut-street Theater, Philadelphia, on Sept. 24, 1839. It w’as six years before this that she played in Washington in the company, where Joseph Jefferson made his first appearance there at the age of four. Jefferson had really made a baby appearance the year before in Philadelphia. Mrs. Drew made her first American appearance at the Walnut-street Theater in 1827 as a child actress. She was the.n seven years old and her name was Louise Lane. She was horn in London, England, Jan. 10, 1820, her father being an English actor of no particular fame and her mother a dancer and singer. Her mother brought her to this country in 1827. Although Mrs. Drew had been taken on the stage at twelve months old in England, she always dated her first stage appearance seventy years ago the 24th of this month, w’hen she appeared in Philadelphia in Junius Brutus Booth’s Company. She made a great hit as a child actress and during her girlhood traveled all over the country. In 1835 she went to New Orleans and played “Lady Teazle in /‘School for Scandal.” She had previously made a trip to Jamaica and other West India islands and at the age of fourteen had played Julia in “The Hunchback” at the Boston Theater. She w r as three times married. At sixteen she married Henry Hunt, a veteran English opera singer. In 1818, after separating from Hunt, she married George Mossup, a young Irish comedian, who died the next year. In 1850 she married the great Irish comedian John Drew’ and together they toured the country. Mrs. Drew claimed recently that she never went to school, being brought up on the stage and picking up her education as she w r ent along. Three years ago she wrote a story of her career as follows: HER OWN STORY. “It was on Saturday, Sept. 26. 1827, at the Walniff-street Theater, In Philadelphia, as the Little Duke of York, in Shakspeare’s play of ‘Richard lII,’ and with Junius Brutus Booth, the great ‘elder Booth,’ father of the late Edwin Booth, as the crook-back tyrant, that I began my stage career, and, as I have been continuously before the footlights ever since, I may justly say that I have had a longer stage career than any of my contemporaries. I had appeared in Liverpool, in 1826, and also as a baby, but I like to date my stage life from the date of my first appearance in this country. Mrs. Vernon, at the time of her death, sorpe twenty-four years ago, was the veteran of the American stage, out she had seen only fifty-two years of service. Mrs. E. N. Thayer, who for two generations, was the delight of the theatergoers, died after fifty-three years of stage site. These tw r o women had a longer stage career than any actress Known to the American stage except myself. “My mother took me to New York early in 1828, and 1 made my first appearance in this city at the old Bow r ery Theater on Marcn 8, 1828, playing Little Pickle, “Tne Spoilt Child.” There was quite a rage for child actresses at that time, and on Jan. 5, 1829, I began an engagement at the Walnutstreet Theater, Philadelphia, in a play written expressly for me and called “Twelve Precisely; or, a Night at Dover,” in vvhl -h I performed five characters, ranging from a iittle toddler of two years to the Marchfinoss de Grenville, a fine lady of thirty-one. ‘‘l became a member of the stock company at the old Bowery Theater, New York, in 1833. There i played with all the great stars of those days in a constant round of legitimate pieces. In June, 183S, I accepted an engagement as leading lady at the Walnut-street Theater. Philadelphia, under the management of tho late Francis C. Weymlss, and it; was at that house, on Sept. 24, 1839, that I created the part of Julie de Mortimer in this country, the wily Cardinal Richelieu being impersonated by Edwin Forrest. That first American production of Bulwer’s successful play was a memorable one. The instantaneous success achieved by the play and bv Forrest in its principal character marked the beginning of anew era in dramatic history in this country, as well as in the career of the great tragedian. “It was at the old Chestnut-street Theater. Philadelphia, In the season of 1841-42. under the management of Lewis T. Pratt, that I played in the same company with Peter Richings, the father of the late Caroline Richings, who for many years was the idol of the American public as a prima donna in English opera, but who died several years ago in poverty and obscurity, entirely forgotten by those whose favorite artiste she had onco been. The plays presented were standard tragedies, dramas, comedies and farces. The performance began at halfpast 7 o’clock sharp and lasted until 11, often much later, especially on benefit nights. “Between the pieces—for there were always at least two. of which the latter was a farce—there would be a song or dance, so that there was never a wait nor a dull moment for the spectators from the beginning to the end of the performance, and people who afterward achieved fame as great actors and actresses began by thus filling In what would otherwise have been tedious waiting. Among such was the late E. L. Davenport, who when a young man. had a very good voice, and often sang between the acts. JOHN DREW’S GREAT HTT. “After an absence of several years I returned to Philadelphia with my husband, the late John Drew, in the season of 185253, and we were both engaged as members of the stock company of the old Chestnutstreet Theater, under the management of a Mr. Quinlan. Mr. Drew made his first how to a Philadelphia audience on Aug. 28. 1852, as Trapante in Cibber’s comedy of “She Would and She Would Not,” I appearing as Donna Hypollta. Mr. Drew made a pronounced hit. and later 1 i the season appeared as Dr. O'Toole, In the “Irish Tutor," and in the part gave that public an intimation of that delightful style of Irish portraiture which afterward made his reputation world-wide. "William Wheatley, who afterward made a large fortune while manager of Niblo's Garden, New York, by the production of Jarrett and Palmer’s “Black Crook," was then a dashing Juvenile actor and a great favorite with Philadelphia theatergoers.

Ha and my husband, anxious to try their hands at management, leased the Archstreet Theater. Philade’lphia. and opened it on Aug. 25. 1853, with Bulwer's comedy of “Money,” then highly popular. I made my first appearance under their management on Dec. 19 as Constance in “The Love Chase.” "Mr. Drew retired from management in 1555 and made a starring tour of England and Ireland which was phenomenally successful. On his return he again caught the managerial fever. He leased the National (afterward called the Continental) Theater, in Walnut street. Philadelphia, and opened it May 16. 1857, with the “Naiad Queen.” The company was an unusually strong one even for those days, and included Joseph Jefferson, the late Edwin Adams, the late Mary Devlin, afterward Mrs. Edwin Booth. George Boniface and others. The venture proved unfortunate, and the house was dosed after three months of losing business. During the season of 1857-58 my husband and myself were members of the stock company at the Walnut-street Theater, Philadelphia, then under the management of Mrs. D. P. Bowers. After a farewell benefit at that house in November, 1858, Mr. Drew’ made a lengthy tour of California and Australia, meeting with great success everywhere. After the retirement of Mr. Drew from the management of the Arch-street Theater his former partner. Mr. Wheatley, formed anew partnership with Mr. John S. Clarke, but they gave up the house at the close of the season of 1860-61. I then became the lessee of that popular old-time theater, and continued as such for many years. Mr. Dr‘*w returned from his Australian tour in 1862, and made his last appearance May 3 of that same year, and was taken sick immediately afterward. He died eighteen days later, when only thirty-five years old. “During my long managerial career, extending over a continuous period of moro than thirty years. I have seen the stocic company system pass through its palmiest days to give place to the present horde of wandering combinations or companies of strolling players, always “on the road.’* condemned to a wearisome round of performances of the same play night In and right out. deprived of a settled home, doomed. to play week after week of “on<x night stands,” and compelled to rise at all hours of the night and morning from uncomfortable beds in queer hotels to take trains on which they must travel all day long, and reach their destination barely lr time to appear supperless upon the stage.’* IHmliop Lemmon*.

Siberian posting stations, it must he remembered, are not wayside inns, and mate few pretensions to providing accommodations for travelers. As the sledges drive up to the bare—and to the foreign eye, at least, uninviting—log building, the traveler can form a fair estimate of the probable accommodation he may expect from the size and surroundings of the dvsolate-look-ing spot. On dismounting he will be ushered at once into the guest room, which every station can boast, and which, in the average post station, is the only one at the disposal of travelers. He will find the apartment thoroughly and characteristically Russian of the rustic variety. The room may be large, but It is never lofty, and he will find it singularly bare of everything which in any other part of the world is associated with ideas of comfort. Clean and bare, with few seats of any kind, and those of the plainest, its principal featflre the huge oven-like stove in the center, and its only attempts at ornament the "loon.” or image of the Virgin, with its little lamp or candle burning before it, in one corner, and the equally omnipresent portraits of the royal family scattered here and th’ere about the walls. In this room the traveler waits, and usually eats, during the delay occasioned by getting a change of horses, and snouid he b‘e unfortunate enough to b compelled to wait over a night before he can procure them, he sleeps here also, finding his own bedding and wraps as a matter of course. 11‘ere and there, indeed, a. more extensive establishment may be met with where there are three or four gu'jst chambers, but even in such cases they aro no more than repetitions of the on'c described. These larger establishments generally boast separate accommodation for the yemsehiks. who otherwi&v have to find accommodation with the family of the station keeper, not infrequently in a single apartment. The posting yemschik, or driver, it must lie understood, is, iik'c, the relays of ponies, attached to his own particular station, and passes away with his horses on receiving his drink money of 10 kopecs—a little more than 5 cents—to be relieved by anew one belonging to the next stage. He reflects the various tribes and nationalities that inhabit the country, and may be a Russian, a Cossack, a member of almost any of the eastern tribes, or even, on occasion, a Manchu or a Mongol. It matters little, however, what his nationality may be; in appearance this mummylike figure is very much the same. Our N'eurer Klondike. M. G. Mulhall, in North American Review. The annual product of precious metals in the Pacific States since 1890 has averaged 55 tons of gold and 1,800 of silver, worth $100,000,000. which exceeds the value of precious metals that any country has yet produced in the history of mankind. If tile agriculture of the whole Union were on the same footing as in the Pacific States tha improved area under farms (at seventyfour acres per hand) would reach 615,000,000 acres, or 70 per cent, more than at present. This shows how efficient and economical Is the labor applied In these States, where a machine, with a couple of men, cuts, threshes, winnows and bags sixty acres of wheat In a day. The largest farms on the Pacific slope are In Nevada, averaging 1,300 acres, the smallest in Utah, average 126 acres. In tho latter State the numoer of improved acres gives only thirty-nine acres to each farmhand, which shows that the labor of two Mormon farmers is required to produce as much as one ordinary hand, not for want of industry on the part of Mormons, but because small farms are illsuited to labor-saving machinery of the newest kind. There is an immense field for agriculture, as yet undeveloped, the Pacific States having only 6 per cent, of their area, under farms (even including lands that are unimproved), whereas the farming area of the Union is 20 per cent, of the superficial extent. In whatever aspect we may vlc-w the Pacific States, their progress must appear marvelous. Although of such recent formation that most of them have sprung Into existence since 1860, they possess more miles pf railway than any European state except France or Germany, and their wealth exceeds that of Sweden, Norway and Denmark in the aggregate.
