Considerable Interest is manifested in the appearance of Miss Isadore Rush, of Roland Reed’s Company, in the costume of Rosalind. She is said to very dainty and exceedingly attractive in the dress of the character. She promises to cause somewhat of a flutter among feminine hearts with her new gowns. She has designed them herself, as, in fact, she does all her gowns, which is sufficient guarantee that they will be attractive. Miss Rush has real talent for the art of dressing. She is’ original in everything, her personality being marked no less than is that of Mr. Reed. Her most striking success in dress was her costume .In “The Politician,” where she acted the new woman. Miss Rush is emphatically feminine in her tastes, and bloomers were too masculine for her. Still she had to be manish. She fejl back on her own ingenuity, and designed a costume with a narrow skirt, provided with side pockets, into which she thrust her hands in a most fetching imitation of masculinity. Her new dresses bear the marks of her careful study. There has been a good advance sale for “A Man of Ideas” with which Roland Reed s engagement at English’s opens to-night. This play is said to equal if not excel anything Mr. Reed has ever attempted. One of the prominent features of the performance to be given at the Park to-day and for the next three days by Gus Hill’s World of Novelties is the act of the three Nevaros, Jacques, Alexander and M’lle. Irma, whose fame as acrobats is continental. For many months they entertained the patrons of the big music halls in Berlin and St. Petersburg, coming from Europe to join Gus Hill’s forces. The programme contains ten other vaudeville acts and the performance is high-class, admirably suited to the Park Theater patrons. The Bon Ton Burlesquers open at the Empire this afternoon for a w’eek. The company is composed of pretty girls, comedians and up-to-date specialty acts. The scenery, costumes and electrical effects are features Coilier, sister of Willie Collier, the well-known comedian, is in the cast of “pie Electrician,” coming to the Park the last half of this week. Helene Mora’s first engagement at the Park Theater, which begins next Monday, will give ladies a chance to see and hear this magnetic vocalist, whose baritone voice has such a charm.

Noted of the Stage. Many good stories are told of Dan Hart, the old minstrel, who is now at the city hospital, at St. Louis, and reported to be in a bad way. Dan never laid much store by the proverb that to live long one must live slowly. But the ills of the flesh have been but a small part of the minstrel’s troubles up to this time. If stories are to be believed he was the victim of a hoodoo; his life was a Jonahed one. Billy Rice, another old-timer, who is now playing at the Fourteenth-street Theater, tells several amusing anecdotes of Hart’s career. "Hart was a man who stuck to the old standards of minstrelsy. He believed that It was a iank solecism to use anything but the negro dialect while blacked up. As for .he new-fangled idea of introducing Japs, Arabians and the like into a minstrel per-, formance, he was against it. But Dan was unlucky. Very few of the companies he went out with lasted through the season. On one occasion. I remember, Dan found it necessary to leave a hotel quietly, and agreed with his room-mate that they throw their grips out of the window. Before doing so they tied them together with a stout cord. In the darkness they did not see the hotel proprietor s dog lying beneath the window. The grips were thrown out, but the cord fell across the Newfoundland's back, and he got up and carried both satchels Into the barroom, wffiere Mr. Landlord was drinking a hot Scotch, preparatory to going to bed. Exposure followed, of course, and there was no end of trouble before they caught the company again. "At another time Dan had a trunk full of newspapers that he used to send to the hotel. A careless porter dropped it one day, and the lid burst open. ’Ha ha! What Is this I see?’ exclaimed the boniface, indignantly. “ ‘Only my press clippings,’ replied Hart, as cheerfully as possible. "Hart was stranded in a town in southern Arkansas once, and the manager telegraphed to the manager of the theater at the next stand, and asked him to guarantee the hotel bills, so that the company could fill Its date. A favorable reply was received, and an hour later, just as the train was to start, another telegram was received. ’House all sold. Come sure.’ That put the disheartened minstrels in a fine humor. Delicate children! What a source of anxiety they are! The parents wish them hearty and strong, but they keep thin and pale. To all these delicate children Scott’s Emulsion of Cod-liver Oil with Hypophosphites comes with the best of news. It brings rich blood, strong bones, healthy nerves, and sound digestion. It is growth and prosperity to them. No matter how delicate the child, it is readily taken. joc. and fi.oo, ail druggists. •COTT k OWNI # Chamlata. N'wYork

They reached the new stand at sundown. There was a big bus at the depot, and Hart climbed up on the seat with the driver. As they toiled up the hill toward the town Dan exclaimed: ‘Ah, but that’s a magnificent sunset.’ ‘Sunset your foot,’ replied the driver; ‘that is the opera house burning up.’ St. Louis Globe-Democrat. During the past three months Dame Rumor has been extremely busy with the names of De Wolf Hopper as well as that of his pretty wife, Edna Wallace-Hopper, and the former soubrette of the Hopper Company, clever Della Fox. From all acccunts the average theater-goer might be led to believe that Mrs. Hopper is not with the Hopper organization this season, and that she has been replaced by the winsome Delia. On the contrary, the clever little woman is still largely in evidence, appearing at every performance of “El Capitan,” for she still remains one of the potent factors of her husband’s company, while Miss Fox is starring in “The Wedding Day” with Lillian Russell, and will be seen at English’s soon. In all probability “El Capitan” will be produced in London next spring by De Wolf Hopper and the members of his present company, Including every member of his chorus, as negotiations are now pending for Its presentation at one of the leading theaters in that city, but there is r.o likelihood whatever of the charming Delia Fox being a member of the comedian’s company during a run in London of “El Capitan,” as has been reported in New York. This announcement comes direct from Mr. Hopper’s manager. James A. Herne has been fortunate in having many of the eminent literary workers of the day among the enthusiastic admirers of his play “Shore Acres.” James Whitcomb Riley has been to see the play several times, and has written a poem about it. To him ‘‘Shore Acres” is something Wore than a play. He loves to go behind the scenes and talk to the children or chat with the players about the parts they are impersonating. Eugene Field was an equally sincere admirer of the play. Hall Caine, the novelist, saw “Shore Acres” at Toronto two years ago. and was so well pleased with it that he asked for an introduction to the playwright. He told Mr. Herne that he considered it the best pastoral play in the English language, and that he believed that it would run in London for a year. William Dean Howells wrote a long review of the piece for Harper’s magazine, in which he declared it to be the representative American play.—Detroit Journal. The honeymoon of Playwright Martha Morton and Herman Conheim, of New York, had not passed before Olive M. Salonde had brought suit against the fair comedy writer’s husband for SIO,OOO for breach of promise. Martha Morton is author of the successful plays “Brother Johnathan” and “A Bachelor’s Romance,” given by Sol Smith Russell, and of “A Fool of Fortune” and “His Wife’s Father,” played by W. H. Crane. W. A. Brady will hereafter be the general director of the Schiller Theater, in Chicago. The stock company that has been playing there for some time will be disbanded, and Mr. Brady will make some productions of his own. Elita Otis, the star of the Schiller Company, lias already gone to a Denver stock company. Miss Irene Rooke, of the "Sign of the Cross” Company, has a musical voice, with a pleasing English accent, which, together with her grace and beauty, have helped her very much in winning the hearts of her audiences in America. Emile Gautier, the sensational horseman, who performs the most marvelous feats on a platform only fifteen feet In diameter and elevated ten feet from the stage, is the big feature of a vaudevi.le show in the East. A letter from Otis Skinner, at Duluth, announces that he has rewritten all of the first act of his new play, “Prince Rudolph,” making it much stronger than when first produced in Chicago recently. Joaquin Miller, “the poet of the Sierras,” who has been in Alaska as a newspaper correspondent, will make his debut as an actor in “The Heart of the Klondike” Nov. 8 in New York city. Olga Nethersole, whose London season will begin next month, has been requested to appear in "Denise” before the Prince and Princess of Wales at Sandringham Palace. E. M. Holland, who has been out of the cast of “Never Again” for some time, rejoins the comDany, and will play his original role of Ribot. The many friends and admirers of E. S. Willard will be glad to learn that his new play, “The Physician,” is a decided success. A NONOGENARIAN DEAD. Lewis French, in Whose Shop Rev. T. A. Goodwin First Preached. Lewis French died yesterday morning at the age of ninety-three years, after a short illness, the first of any consequence he ever experienced. Mr. French was born In Hartford, Conn., In 1804, and came to the Ohio valley with his parents when he was a small lad. His parents lived In Cincinnati for many years, and were carried away by the cholera, along with many of his relatives, in 1846. Mr. French was married In 1828, and his wife survives him. She is eighty-five years old. They recently celebrated the sixty-eighth anniversary of their marriage. They had one child, a son, who died thirty-six years ago. There are three grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren and three great-great-grandchildren. In 1850 Mr. French moved from Cincinnati to Edinburg, Ind., where he followed his trade as cabinet maker and coffin maker. It was In his shop that Rev. Thomas A. Goodwin, of this city, preached his first sermon. James Grigsby, who died a few days ago at the age of ninety-five, and Mr. French were friends from boyhood and were neighbors in the late years of iheir lives. Tne funeral will be conducted Monday afternooft at 2 o’clock by Flanner & Buchanan at the family residence, 210 Trowbridge street. The burial will be at Edinburg Tuesday.

A CIGAR LI ft CUSPIDOR Brought Oat a Str Fall of Fire Apparatus aa* ’icemen. About 4 o’clock . *ate'day morning fire alarm box No. 47, it '.ne corner of Capitol avenue and Washington street, was pulled and about two-ftitids of nhe fire apparatus, including the water tower, responded. A score of policemen also hastened to the placa It was found that a little paper and sawdust in a cuspidor in Michael Finn s saloon, at 311 West Washington street, was responsible for the alarm. A cigar stump, dropped into the cuspidor probably several hours before, imd igmted the sawdust and produced a large volume of smoke with but little fire. It was as safe as if it were in a stove The room was full of smoke, however, and it was some little time before the firemen realized the situation. Several Views of a Bird. Yesterday being a day that was cold and wet and dreary a number of young men found it comfortable to stay indoors, and a dozen of them were lounging about Navin’s drug store at 11 North Illinois street, damning the weather and discussing politics and such matters, when one of them discovered what he took to be a large bird sitting on a chimney of the Windsor block. One said it was an owl, but Homer June insisted that it was a parrot. “What do you know about parrots?" demanded "Jim" Eden. "You wouldn't know a parrot from a rabbit if you were to meet them on the street.” “Is that so? I trust I’ve got the finest bird in the parrot line in this part of the world,” replied “Fop, jr,” and he went on to dilate upon the beauties of the bird which he claimed was the “gabbiest” one of its kind and the best educated. “That thing up there is a parrot, and you can’t make me believe it am t.” “Don't tell me," interrupted Russell Eckman. “It’s an owi. iou can tell by the way it bobs its head.” The rain was coming down in torrents, but the bird seemed not to mind a little thing like that. It continued rocking itself to and fro. Finally a vote of those present was taken and the prevailing opinion was in favor of the owl. Eden was claiming a victory when "Bear,” one of the leaders of the late and lamented "Red Clouds,” came along looking for shines, and it was agreed that his decision should be final. He refused to act as referee on saeh un important point without getting a better view than could be obtained at an angle through a plate glass window. He went farther up the street and returned in a minute. “Huh!" he said. “Youse is a gay lot of buggers. I’d hate to chuse youse guys out

to the bird store to buy me an owl or a parrot. Dat ai’> - *io owl and it ain’t no parrot, and, to teli de truth, I tink de whole gang has been up aginst a booze game dat got de best of you. Dat’s only a piece of tin.” And the referee was right. A piece of tin covering for the top of the chimney had by some means broken loose and raised upright. From the angle of the drug store it looked in the misty light just like a large bird, and the wind blowing it gently back and forth gave the appearance at times of a bird picking his breast feathers. A SHIPPING CLERK’S ARREST. Fred C. Mayer Charged with Robbing Charles Mayer A Cos. Fred C. Mayer, shipping clerk for Charles Mayer & Cos., was arrested last night on a charge of grand larceny. The young man was called at a late hour to the office of Harold Taylor, attorney, in the Stevenson building. He was there confronted by members of the firm that employed him, and after some pressure admitted his guilt. He confessed to having swindled his employers put of about S3OO worth of goods, but the supposition is that the peculations will amount to several thousands. The scheme by which, it is claimed, the young man robbed his employers was a novel one. He had a confederate in Louisville, who was on the books of the firm as a regular customer. The Louisville man seemed to make a specialty of perfumery and sent in frequent small orders for fine perfumeries. It was the custom of Mayer, when filling orders for his confederate, to ship a great deal more goods than were ordered. The frequency of the orders and the fact that the Louisville man was willing to pay freight and express on a number of small orders when the goods could have been shipped at much less expense in larger quantities first aroused suspicion. Then the stock was watched carefully, and finally a case of goods was opened and it was discovered that the order was more than doubled. When this had been learned young Mayer was called to the attorney’s office and confronted with his offense. He at first denied everything, but when convinced that he was found out confessed. The police have the name of the Louisville man ajid he will be arrested. Mayer lives at 177 North Pine street. FAIR AFTER THE RAIN. Forecaster Wnppenlian*’* Weather Predictions for Indianapolis.

fIRHANGHA PASS TAKEN *- INDIAN TRIBESMEN AGAIN DEFEATED BY BRITISH TROOPS. ♦ Afrldls anil Ornkznis Now Rcpcntent and Anxious to Learn the Conditions of Pardon. ♦ SIMLA, Oct. 31.—According to a dispatch from Earappa the expected advance to Arhangha pass was made this morning. General Westmacott seized the villages covering the line of advance, and the artillery, brought into action at 8:30 o’clock, soon expelled the tribesmen from the Sangars. Only slight opposition was encountered. The crest was reached and the pass captured by General Westmacott at 10:30. The British sustained only a trifling loss. Captain Searle, of the Sikhs, was slightly wounded. The mullah of Saldakbar has fled to Jelalabad, and Sir William Lockhart is now descending into the Afride Tirah. The Ameer of Afghanistan received a deputation of the Afridis and Orakzais at Cabul, his capital, on the 17th of the month. In notifying the British agent to Cabul of the fact he wrote that the tribesmen “were full of alarm and repentence,” and asked him to submit their apology to the British government and to ascertain the conditions of pardon. - ♦ NOTES FROM THE ORIENT. American lujureil While Walking In His Sleep—Dysentery in Jupan. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 31.—The steamship Peru, from Yokohama and Hong Kong, via Honolulu, brought the following Oriental advices: On Sept. 9 Charles Carroll, an American, who arrived from Japan and Hong Kong by the Kaiser-I-Hind on the previous day, fell over a balcony in the Grand Oriental Hotel at Colombo and fractured his right leg in several places. The leg was amputated at the knee. Mr. Carroll, who is twen-ty-five years old, was on a pleasure trip around the world. It is believed he was walking in his sleep when the accident occurred. The cases of dysentery in Japan reported up to the end of last month totaled, according to the statistics compiled by the home department, 64,642. Os these 14,263 proved fatal. On the night of Oct. 2, at 9:45 o’clock, Yokohama was visited by a prolonged shock of earthquake. According to the observations made at Tokio the shock commenced at nine hours, forty-five minutes and nineteen seconds, and lasted three minutes and twenty-five seconds. The Japanese government is being urged to send a military commission to the Indian frontier to inspect the operations of the British troops against the Afghan insurgents. It is said that the proposed lease by Russia of Beer island for the purpose of constructing a coal depot there will be declined by Corea on account of the greater part of the island being already in possession of Englishmen and Japanese. The condition of Mr. Akiyama, counselor of the Foreign Office, w*ho recently attempted to commit suicide by hara-kiri, is said to be favorable and progressing toward recovery. The threads used in stitching up the wounds have already been removed. The death is announced at Hong Kong of George Reinhold Lammert, one of the oldest residents of the colony. An accident occurred to a service train near Oyama on the Tokaido Railway on the 3d inst., by which five railway employes were killed on the spot and fourteen more badly injured. Foreign postage rates from Japan have been doubled, and the government is considering the advisability of raising the domestic postal and telegraph rates 50 per cent, in order to obtain funds for extending telegraphic communication.

HAVANA, Oct. 31. —The Spanish cruiser Alfonso XIII, with Marshal Blanco, the new governor general of Cuba, on board, was sighted off Havana this morning at 5:30 o’clock. At 7 o'clock the Alfonso XIII entered the harbor and Lieutenant General Weyler. the Marquis Ahumada, Admiral Navarro and other high officers went in a special steamer to meet Gen. Blanco. After a long and cordial conference Lieutenant General Weyler yielded up his command to his successor. \At 10:30 o’clock Marshal Blanco landed.

She was escorted outside the harbor by numerous tugs laden with the friends of the departing general and officers of his staff. An immense crowd witnessed the departure from the wharves. According to the official account, the people cheered for "Weyler, the pacificator.” General Weyler’s escort on the Monteserrat consists of 600 sick soldiers. Fears of a British Editor. LONDON, Oct. 31.—The Spectator takes a pessimistic view of the situation between the United States and Spain, and expresses the opinion that the chances are in favor of w’ar, “which would gravely concern England, because of the consequent rise in the price of wheat, and owing to the extent of British shipping. Dangerous marine questions in regard to privateering, the neutrality of search and the supply of munitions would arise, w'hile Spain’s insolvency would involve a grand crash in banking circles in Paris.” The Spectator also expresses the fear that the fact of war existing might have the same effect upon the strained situation in Europe as “shooting among gunpowder barrels.” THE PRINCETON INN. How Recent Falsehoods Concerning; It Obtained Circulation. W. E. Curtis, in Chicago Record. Some months ago a stranger appeared at the hotel and registered as J. Q. Thompson, of Washington. Soon after his arrival he went id the grillroom and called for a glass of whisky. He was informed that no liquor was sold there, but that he could have a glass of beer if he desired it. He insisted upon having whisky, brandy or some other form of firewater, and being unable to obtain it. went upstairs to his room. There he again called for a glass of w hisky. The bellboy explained that no liquors were sold In the house, and he insisted upon seeing the manager. When the latter went to his room he complained of feeling ill, anil asked if they could not give him some whisky. The manager then sent a boy to a neighboring drug store, purchased a small fiask of whisky and took it himself to Mr. Thompson's room, who told him to charge it in his bill The next morning Thompson left the house, and a week later the New York Voice, the organ of the Prohibition party, contained an elaborate account of Mr. Thompson's experience In the “rumhole” and “ginmili ’ of Princeton University, where h* cluinu and the students were being led to perdition by the faculty and the alumni of that institution. The article included descriptions of sensational scenes which Mr. Thompson ciuirns

to have witnessed In the grillroom, drunken orgies and carousals of a most depraved character. He asserted repeatedly that liquor was sold by the glassful in his presence over a bar to beardless boys, who went reeling back to their rooms. He also declares that he got all the whisky he wanted at the inn by asking for it, and illushis article with a picture of the flask that was purchased for him at a drug store. The whole article was a string of falsehoods. Scarcely a single statement in it was true, and yet the writer 1 said to be a clergyman and the Voice a religious paper. The drunken ruffians Mr. Thompson saw were a group of the older students, with a few of the tutors and younger professors sitting around tables, sipping beer, eating crackers, cheese and pretzels and singing college songs. Students will do those things, and it is the judgment of the faculty and trustees of the university that such a place as the grillroom, with attractive surroundings and associations, has been a wholesome restraint upon boys who would otherwise have sought disreputable scenes of dissipation. The grillroom is always closed at 11 o’clock, and the impromptu concerts given there by the students two or three times a week are very much enjoyed by the families of the faculty who reside in the hotel, as well as by transient visitors. GRIEF FOR*A LEADER. (Concluded from First I’age.) his evident grief at the loss of his old friend did not prevent the display of some characteristic flights of eloquence by him. Dr. McGlyn said: “We stand upon ground that is made sacred by the rema'ns of a man who was raised from among us by our Father in heaven to spread the messages of truth ancl righteousness and justice and peace to all. Ha died in a struggle for the cause of humanity, especially that of New York, but It was altogether too small for his broad mind and mdominable energy. He was simply a seer, a prophet, a forerunner sent by God, and we can say in all reverence and in the words of the Scriptures that ‘there was a man sent from God whose name was John. He was sent to bear witness of the light.’ I believe I am not guilty of any profanation of tne sacred scriptures when I say there was a man sent from God and his name w’as Henry George.” Dr. McGlynn was here interrupted by applause throughout the hall and seemed deeply affected. lie alluded to the touching eulogy bestowed upon Henry George by Dr. Abbott, as expressing what he thought of him as a friend and brother. "Henry George’s gentle heart,’’ the orator said, “was ready to break because he saw that nothing came from the professors of tne schools of political economy which could improve the condition of the people, because the limits of the knowledge of those economists was hardly to be considered within the bounds of science at all. Truly, it was aesigned by Providence to raise up such a man before the world to expose the fallacy and the injustice of their reasoning. Wherever word has gone that Henry George is dead his teachings live, and his voice is heard, though he lies still in death. His works have been read throughout the world, and in every language known in the universe George speaks to ail humanity today.” John S. Crosby, who has been one of the most active campaigners for Henry George, was the last speaker, and the only layman who spoka His address dealt more with the duty of the present, in accordance with the principles laid down by Henry George rather than with mere eulogy of the dead teacher, and evoked applause even more energetic, perhaps, than the remarks of Dr. McGlynn. The last address was concluded shortly after 6 o’clock, and the meeting was dismissed, with directions from a member of the committee as to the manner of dismissal from the hall. Nearly all of those present took advantage of the opportunity offered to view the face of Henry George, and the march past his coffin was continued as it had been in progress during the day.

BODY TAKEN TO BROOKLYN. Funeral Procession Was Small, bnt the Streets Were Crowded. NEW YORK, Oct. 31.—The procession 'which accompanied the remains to Brooklyn was in many respects the most remarkable ever witnessed in New ‘York. The catafalque was a magnificent creation of black broadcloth, and at the base was twelve feet wide. There were five steps leading to the top. The horses, of jet black, were covered with black silk netting and were led by sixteen grooms. The only emblem on the top of the casket was a small white wreath. The organizations that paid honor to Mr. George by following the funeral car fell into line from the side streets off Madison avenue and below Forty-second street. There was some disappointment In the small number of followers, and It was conservatively estimated that when the party passed Thirty-fourth street on Madison avenue there were less than 2,500 men in line. There were marks of respect all along the line. Bared heads were the rule on both sides of the street, and many men and women were noticed to be crying. When the open space In front of the hotels in Twenty-third and Twenty-fifth streets w r as reached there was an enormous crowd. There were a number of old men here who seemed to be greatly interested, for they stood with bared heads from the time the police appeared till nearly all the procession had passed. When the south side of Union square was reached the band that had preceded the catafalque fell out of line and, taking a stand on the sidewalk, played a dirge while the remainder of the procession passed. It was 8 o’clock when the head of the column rounded into Broadway again from Fourteenth street. An expectant crowd of George worshipers flanked Broadway at Canal street. Here it was also noticed that there was much weeping. The procession from that point to City Hall Park was without incident save for a repetition of the scenes of grief which had been manifested along the entire route. Simple private services will be held at 10 o’clock to-morrow at the family residence. Revs. George and Lattimer. of Philadelphia, cousins of the deceased, and both Episcopal clergymen, will officiate. The body will be carried to Greenwood, to be interred in the family lot on the Ocean hill, looking on the Atlantic. DR. FELIX ADLER’S TRIBUTE. George Likened to a Greek Rnler Who Died on the Eve of Victory. NEW YORK, Oct. 31.—At the conclusion of an address on “Present Political Conditions” before the Society for Ethical Culture at Carnegie Hall to-day, Dr. Felix Adler paid a glowing tribute to the memory of Henry Georffe, He said: “At the point in the great campaign for the people, when the excitement was tensest, the weird light of a tragedy illumine© the field. His friends and opponents —foes he had none—have joined in a tribute to his memory’- In reviewing his career we recognize three distinct services he rendered to humanity. He did the most of any man to make the readers of the two continents realize the problem of poverty. His claim as a writer is secure, and he stood as a great popular leader. An old Greek philosopher, when asked whom he considered the happiest man, named a ruler of Athens who lived at a time when Athens was in her glory, who had a family to continue his work where he left off, and who died on the field of battle just when his army was on the point of achieving a brilliant victory. The same might be said of George. All these conditions apply, and he died in the midst of a great fight for the people, whom he loved, oh the eve of a glorious victory. It was his sincerity that the people loved. They realized his great love for humanity and respected him for it. Whether or not they approve his idea of reconstructing society, they loved and admired the man.” “A Martyr to the City’a Honor.” NEW YORK, Oct. 31.—Rev. Heber Newton preached at All Souls’ Church to-day on “The Ethical Issues Before the City.” He said: “The tragedy w T hieh has befallen our city within the last few hours ought to decide the Issues in the heart of every honest man. A great-minded, noble-hearted man has fallen a martyr to the city's liberties, the city’s honor. Conscious of his physical weakness, yet following the call of the city to him, he plunged into the thick of the fight, regardless of himself, though with the presentiment in his soul which he expressed in that pathetic word of his Cooper Union addres-s: ‘I accept your nomination and will remain in the fight to the end. though I die in it.’ Os all that I have said as to the ethical aspects of the issues, he was the living embodiment. The intense earnestness of his moral nature led him to plunge aJmost recklessly into the battle for the people's rights and liberties. He could not be apathetic. He could not be indifferent when the fate of a city of three million souls hung in the baiance. This intense earnestness was one secret of his strange power over the masses of men.” More Henry Georgea Needed. NEW YORK, Oct. Sl.-“An Ideal City” was the subject of the sermon delivered today by Rev. Minot J. Savage in the Chu-rch of the Meesiah. During his discourse the

preacher said that Henry George was a man who through life consecrated himself to the welfare of the people. “He poure* out to the people.” said Dr. Savage, "the sympathy of his heart, as well as his physical strength, and he died literally a martyr to his cause. He is a man to hold up for emulation in the magnificent spirit and consecration with which he gave himself, heart and soul, to his cause. If we only had ten thousand men who cared naif as much for the city’s welfare as Henry George did it would be one of the most glorious cities of the world. We need men who appreciate the importance of making this glorious city.” Siing Ills Favorite Piece. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 31.—Metropolitan Temple was crowded at noon to-day at the memorial services for Henry George, held under the auspices of the Single Tax Society. President Manzero, of that organization, was chairman of the meeting. Miss McCloskey, a cousin of Henry George, sang “Flee as a Bird,” said to be a favorite composition with the economist. She broke down during its rendition and most of the audience was similarly affected. Congressman James G. Maguire ret ailed many personal reminiscences of the author of "Progress and Poverty,” and ex-Judge Robert Ferrel, who nineteen years ago was associated with Mr. George In the publication of the Evening Post here, spoke of the dead man’s journalistic experience. Other eulogistic addresses were made by James H. Barry, editor of the Star, P. J. Hea’y and Chairman Manzero, the latter dismissing the audience with a substitute for the orthodox benediction. BIRTH OF THE PILLMAN CAR. Veteran Railroader Sayn They Were in Is* as Ea-rly as 1857. Pittsburg Dispatch. “It sounds queer to me to hear 1863 named as the date when Pullman cars came into service, when I had the comfort of riding in Pullman sleepers as early as 1857,” said John Paul Jones, a veteran newspaper man and railroader, who in the fifties wn's connected with the old Galena <& Chicago Union Railroad, yesterday. The cars were used then on a road running between Chicago and Dunleith, opposite Dubuque, la., a line then thought to be the great overland route to California, The berths were first made in half space®, so if a passenger wished a single space he secured it by taking one-half the room called a berth. “The first sleeper owned by Pullman ran out of Chicago over the Galena Railroad, as is well known by any surviving employe of that road. Woodruff sleeping cars were in use on the Michigan Central Railway previous to Pullman’s appearance as a sleeping-car man. Before that time the socalled sleeping coach, with high-backed seats, in use by some railroads just previous to the advent of the regular sleeper, was advertised as a desirable aid to comfort for night journeys by railroad, very much as chair cars are now r . In this connection It might not be out of place to say that Mr. Pyllman was a well-known figure about the offices and car shops of the Galena road while his first cars were being built, and every well-informed railroader recognized the importance of the proposed convenience or luxury of a sleeping car, which was hailed as a blessing to persons compelled to travel at night. “Well do I remember standing in the old Galena Wells-strect passenger depot one summer day In 1837 or 1858, talking with Hugh Gray, the superintendent of the car shops, when Mr. Pullman passed along, with his coat over his arm, on his w r ay to dinner, after a faithful morning’s work at the shop a few blocks west of the passenger station. His greeting was cordial, as was his custom to friends and acquaintances, and after ho passed Mr. Gray, a sturdy old Scotchman, remarked: ‘Mr. Pullman is about to place sleeping cars on on. line, as you know, betw r een Chicago and Dunleith, which, if patronized as he expects, will make him, If adopted by other railroads, one of the richest men in America.’ He spoke truer than he then thought, as Pullman’s millions attest.”

BELLE BOl’D. A ‘Noted Rebel Spy and Her Advent tures Daring the Great War. Louisville Courier-Journal. Virginia’s illustrious daughter of the long ago, the Confederate heroine. Belle Boyd, of Stonewall Jackson and Shenandoah valley fame, and best known as the “Rebel Spy,” had a pleasant evening with the executive committee of the Confederate Association of Kentucky last evening in the parlors of the Fifth-avenue Hotel. Those present were John H. Leathers. Gen. Basil W. Duke, Capt. John H. "Weller, Maj. John B. Pirtle. Messrs. Samuel Murrell and Thomas D. Osborne. Although this famous woman is now past fifty, she does not. look more than twenty five, as she thrillingly talks of the men who wore the gray. She had just finished her schooling at Mount Washington, near Baltimore, when the war of the States began. Capt. John H. Leathers knew her in her early girlhood and last evening they talked of the older times in Martinsburg, Va., where her father, Benjamin Reid Boyd, joined the first “Stonewall Jackson brigade,” and where, a little later. Belle Boyd, loving her native South as Joan of Arc loved France, risked her life to aid her father's general. The right before the first battle of Front Royal, Virginia, May 23, 1882, Belle Boyd rode fifty-four miles to carry dispatches to General Stonewall Jackson, and becoming possessed of more information of great value, she ran across the great battle field to deliver it to Jackson. So grateful was Stonewall Jackson for this act that during the lull in the battle he sent her an autograph note of thanks. Not long after the battle she was captured and taken to the old Capital prison, at Washington, where after a few months’ stay she was exchanged for Colonel Corcoran, late general of the Irish Brigade. On her return to Richmond she was adopted as the child of the army and given a captain’s commission in the Confederate army. In May, 1864, after passing through many perils, she was directed by Jefferson Davis to run the blockade with important papers. She sailed from Wilmington, N. C., on the Greyhound on the Bth of May, but was captured after the steamer passed Fort Fisher and was brought to Boston, tried and sentenced to be 6hot. President Lincoln commuted the sentence to banishment, and she finally arrived in Europe and delivered the dispatches. She did not return to America until after Lincoln’s death and President Andrew Johnson had issued his amnesty proclamation. Miss Belle Boyd—who is now Mrs. Nat R. High—is accompanied by her two accomplished daughters. - WOMAN’S AMIABILITY. Proof tlmt Americans Possess This Desi ruble Quality. Leslie’s Weekly. American women are proverbially amiable. Their amiability, indeed, is more universal than their beauty, and they are surely the most beautiful women in the world. As to this pleasing amiability, which contributes untold blessings to American homes, there Is no better proof than the fact that one million American women belong to women's clubs. This is not a prima facie case at all, but the truth of it is easily proved. In the current periodicals there are several articles on women's clubs, and a particularly luminous discussion of them by Mr_. Helen Waterson Moody in the October number of Scribner’s Magazine. Now, from these various articles we learn that women go to their clubs to be preached at, to be instructed in one thing and another, and to learn how bettfar to act their part in tho complex civilization of which they are a most important part. The exorcises at these clubs, we believe, usually consist in the reading of papers by persons who forego other employments so as to find time to spoil good paper with faint ink. In all tho things that humans have to submit to at one time or another there probably never was any one thing so tiresome as the listening to papers on subjects about which the authors know little or nothing, except that more fearful experience of listening to papers by experts who know all about one thing and precious little about anything else. To read a paper is to be a bore; to listen to the reading of a paper Is to be bored. And yet we are told that one million of our American women do this very thing every week, and actually pretend that they like It. Is this not conclusive evidence of impregnable amiability? A mere man looks upon tiresomeness as something more fearful even than immorality. He will not stand a bore; he will from the paper-reader and the pedant as though pestilence were near. But the women, heaven bless them, not only stand the bores, but encourage them and make much of them. This is nothing save sublime amiability; a beautiful virtue, in this instance sadly wasted. We fancy that when these sweet and charming creatures learn whither their emancipation Is leading them they will take anew tack anti Convert their clubs into those more like to what a man’s club is -a {date for recreation and pleasant fellowship. \\ hj Bicycles Wear Out.

quently complain of the giving out of their wheels and throw the blame upon defectiv* construction, when the rwl trouble lie* la the unnecessary hardships which the bicycles have had to suffer. One point, for instance, upon which many riders are careless is neglecting in wet weather to wipa off every trace of dampness from the machine. If one has been caught even in a slight shower she ought, when her destination has been reached, to go over every part of the wheel carefully with a cloth, not leaving: the smallest spot where rust could collect. If one has time, it is a good plan to rub the metal with a iittle oil, too, but if properly done, the dry-cloth rubbing will be sufficient. A further precaution against danger from dampness should lie taken by seeing that the place where the bicycle is kept is perfectly dry. Another and quite different way in which wheels are injured is by being racked unmercifully over all sorts of rough ground, no effort being made to lessen the shock* In any way. It Is a mistake to coast on a. road which is stony or full of ruts. By tha harder jolts which she herself receives tha rider can tell that the strain on the machine is much greater than if she kept her feet on the pedals. Nuts and holts are loosened and the entire frame Is jarred to Its ctrtaJn disadvantage. In ordinary riding, too, as well as in descending hills, a skillful cyclist will ease her machine over rough places by bearing less weight upon the saddle and more upon the pedals, and by slacking speed. The Original “Dark. Horse.** Boston Transcript. People are always talking about “the dark horse,” but we wonder how many nowadays read the following passage which gave the phrase Its origin; “The first favorite was never heard of, the second favorite was never seen after the distance post, all the ten-to-oners were in the rear, and a dark horse which had never been thought of and which the careless St. James hal never even observed in the list, rushed past the grand stand In sweeping triumph.” This is from the late Lord Beaconsfleld'* “Young Duke,” a novel which once had a tremendous popularity and which -can be read to-day with satisfaction by all with % taste for epigrams.
