CLEMENTS AND GARRETT.

Two Mem of Individuality Their Relation! to tb. Balttmor and Olli Railroad. Philadelphia rress. The career of William M. Clements, who, sa announced yesterday, will leave the management of the Erie Express to become the general manager of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad east of the Ohio Hirer, has been a remarkable one in many respects, and he certainly is a remarkable man In every respect Trior to the war he was a freight conductor on the Baltimore and Ohio, and he first met John W. Garrett, then president of the road, near Wheeling, "V. Va. Three rear cars of Conductor Clements' train were derailed one day near Wheeling, and Clements took the red signal and went back to flag an express which he knew was following. He Bent the engineer and fireman ahead to stop all trains coming from that direction and to get assistance, hurriedly calling oat to a stupid brakeman : "Pell the train ahead about 100 yards." The rear cars had com xnenced to burn from the broken stove in the caboose, and Clements wanted to save the valuable freight in the others. The brakeman climbed aboard the engine, bat was too stupid to open the throttle. The whole train was burned, causing a loss of over $73,000. Wnen Clements returned to the scene with some of the passengers from the express, which he had stopped half a mile away, he looked at the burning cars, and, stepping up to the stupid brakeman, floored him with one powerful blow. A stout, quiet-looking passenger walked up to Clements and said : "Why did yon desert your train? Yon should have sent that man back with the Hag and saved these cars yourself. It seems to me that you don't know your business." Clements is a broad-shouldered six-footer, and when he glared at his audacious critic many people supposed there would be an other knock-dorn. "Why, you d f ool !" he replied, contemptuously, "do you suprose I was going to t ust that man? I new he was a fool, like yon. and that's the reason I let him monkey with the cars while I went back to look after human lives." "Conductor, do you know who I am?" "No, and I don't care a d !" "J am John W- Garrett" "Well, I don't care if you are. If you value freight more than human lives, I don't And I will barn np a dozen trains before I'll let one of your Cheap John brakemen kill a few dozen people. Clements stalked away and busied him self directing the wrecking crew engaged m clearing the track.1 Old man Garrett looked quietly on without uttering another word. The following week Clements was made a passenger conductor, whereas everyone supposed that he would be discharged. He rose steadily until he became master of transportation of the whole road. In this position he was noted all over the country for his ability and independence and his absolute defiance of every other man's ideas. His subordinates said that he could "get there" quicker than any other man, and that he was the only chief of department in the Baltimore and Ohio service who did Dot tremble when Garrett came along. He was notoriously profane, and it was hinted that he even "cussed the old man" on several occasions. In 1330, just about the time your.; Robert Garrett commenced to be prominent in his father's road, Clements had a serious falling oat with the elder Garrett, which made things unpleasant for the next two years. Fin illy, when General Manager Dunham was brought to Baltimore from the west ern division of the road and commenced to interfere with Clements an explosion quickly followed. Clements had always been a great stickler for promotion, and was wonderfully popular on "this ac count with ms subordinates. When a vacancy occurred in an important offica in Clements' department he recommended the next highest official, and Dunham named a friend from a western brancbof the road. Dunham's man go c the place. and Clements went right in and told Robert Garrett then vice-president and practical manager, that he wouldn't allow Dunham's man to serve nnder him. "But, Mr. Clements, discipline must be maintained," said Garrett 4 Well, you can keep discipline, but you can't keep me on these terms. This estern man is a dude, and has neither railroad sense, common sense nor horse sense. I won't have mm, sam Clements, natiy. His pro fanity at this time was lurid and in tri cate. Dunham insisted cn his point Mr. Garrett upheld him, and Clements forthwith resigned. The knowledge that .Clements had been making a tight in their interest made the employes of the road idolize him. They gave bim a magnificent Bolid silver service, worth $2,500, and it was soon admitted that Mr. Garrett had made a mistake. John Kin?. Jr.. of the l.zie, who had left the second vice-prtsi-deccy of the Baltimore and Ohio under prf tty much the same circumstances, Knew ClemenU' abilities and brought him to jewiorKona oig salary, rue return of the bluff railroad man to the Baltimore and Ohio in a Ligber capacity and at a larger salary than formerly shows that Mr. Garrett, whatever his motives in alio vice his father's old favorite to resien, has never aoubttd Clements ability. This will serve as an introduction to another story about the late John W. Gar rett the great president of the Baltimore and Ohio. If there ever was an autocrat he was one, and he never could become reconciled to the liberty of a newspaper .cuttiDghis manuscript or printing things that did not suit his taste or convenience. One summer while he was at Deer Park a Baltimore reporter was sent to interview him, and was insfucted not to 'eturn un til he did get the interview. He went to Deer Tark and saw Mr. Garrett. The first result was a blank refusal to say a wor i. I he reporter merely replied: "well, Mr. Garrett. I am instructed to remain here until I get something from you; good day !" He went back to the hotel, and as he was comfortably accommodated in a very pleasant resort he did not mind any amount ox ceiay. He saw Mr. Garrett ev cry day, but did nothing except speak or atk him in a half jocular way, "Are yoa ready to be interviewed? As the days passed on Mr. Garrett's de-

' termination gradually wilted before the reporter's staying powers, and at last he t sent for him. He took him in his library and closed the door. Then he broke oat into a speech that was phenomenal for its vigor and its adjectives. The reporter took it pood-naturedly, and he even smiled, f jr he knew that his purpose was as good as accomplished. "And still you are going to stay bere unt'l ou cet that icterrew'.'" asked Mr.Garlell at v5tThoee are my instructions and I don't eee why I should disregard them, especially aa this is such a very pleasant place." 'My young friend," said the president "I must jsay that I honestly admire yoa. If yoa show the sane pluck and the same determination throrgh life you will be a great man. 1 will give yon that interview, but mind this: If you do not publish it word for word, without change or addition, never come near me again." The report promised that as far as was In his power he would publish every word of it He would not change a syllable. Mr. Garrett called In his stenographer and the interviewer asked a few questions. The magnate talked beautifully and fully, but he eluded every important point and ended up every paragraph with a eulogy of the Baltimore and Ohio. In vain the reporter sought to corner him. ne always got around the question. It was a contest between two shrewd intellects, and the railroad man won. Then he emphasized the promise that the reporter had made and bade him good-bye, with the self-con-jrratulatory, smile of a victor. Mr. Garrett edited the manuscript when written out by the stenographer, and sent it over to the reporter, who took It and went to Baltimore by the next train. He had given his promise and had beD caught, but he carried it out He arriTed at the oiUce and gave the manu

script to the editor, implorinz him to use

every word of it. The editor, however. blankly refused, saying it wouu oe a waste of space to print all that matter. He cut out the uninteresting parts and published, all told, about one-tenth of what Mr. Garrett had said. The next morning, when the editor arrive' at his orlice, he found this telegram, dated Deer Park: "Please send that young man oaffS to Deer Park; I want to interview him." It was signed by John . Garrett ihe young man was sorry, but he couldn't go. IMMORALITIES OP THE BALLET. L. SI. Aleott Enters a Protest Agftnst the Half-Naked Franc. I Boston Transcript. As the subject of the ballet has been recently brought before the public and much private discussion has followed. I desire to enter my protest, with that of my friends, against the introduction of indecent dances into otherwise unobjectionable spectacles for the young. Last Saturday afternoon a party ot little girls were taken to see "The Katcaarmer," the pretty story of "The Pied Piper" being considered a pleasant and proper one for cbildien to enjoy. The play itself was harmless, the tuneful charmer well acted, the rats and peasant children highly satisfactory, but the ballet spoiled the entertainment for more than one party, as was plainly shown by the disgust of the ladies and comments of the children. Young as they were, the ages of our three ranging from seven to ten, the instincts of these buds of women were quick to Bee and feel the immodesty of "the pink ladies," who ''didn't have enough clothes on, and kicked about in the improperest way before ever so man v men." The innocent amazement ot these babes was not the worst feature of the case, bowever. A row of lads just in front were evidently takiDg their first lesson in modern morals, and the grins, nudges and remarks of these boys were a sad comment on the carelessness ot parents, the blindness of public opinion, the folly of trying to keep boys clean-minded when such temptations are set before them and indorsed by their elders. The flock of girls catin? candy all about us and surveying the most audacious poses of the ballet with calm interest made it impossible to help wondeiing what sort of wives and mothers they would become if at sixteen they could see, without blushirg, teveral hundred halt naked girls prance before them, as in the "Black Crook," could laugh at the vulgar wit of that silliest of all plays, "Adonis," and troop eagerly to see "Camille," the courtesan, die in lace and white cashmere. The ministers, when asked their opinion on this subject, either condemned thejitage entirely, professed otter ignorance of the ballet or approved it, and the matter dropped, as so often before, to the great disappointment of many anxious parents who hoped that these keepers of souls would manfully wage war against one of the crying evils of the day. Therefore it becomes such persons as are interested in public morals and tue guardianship of the young to take up the question, and try to purify the stage of this abomination, making it what it should be, a source of Instruction as well as pleasure. Let the managers who get up the brilliant spectacles remember principle as well aa profit and provide harmless plays for young and old, with less glitter and more decency, fewer false wives and rakish husbands; wholesome home scenes, not dress parades and poor acting. The good old fairy plays always drew. "Joshua Wb.itcomb" fills any house, and the "Rivals" still eDjoya a green old age. In heaven's same, then, let the playwrights fall to and give us something sweet, and true to human nature, or let there be brought back the best dramas of other days to teach us what to like! Let the parents who are responsible to God for the children they bring into the world lock well to their own ways, to do all that in them lies to make it a safe home for these innocents, and set examples fit to be followed, lest when the wild oats are sowed, the sad harvest will bring them the bitterest of remorse. This is a matter in which women may froperly move, since they rule society, are iberal patrons of the theater, and universally allowed to be by sex, education and the grace of God the most moral half of creation. Dear mothers, sisters and teachers, let the cults you love go for a little wbile, and, taking a hint from Browning's innocent Pippa as she passes unharmed through scenes of love and sin and death, help to keep these little girls of ours as safe through ignorance as she was, and able to siDg with her "God is in his heaven. All is well wltn the world." As they go about the wholesome work and play fitted to their yearj, or, learning from the heathen Bud i ha that chastity is one of the cardinal virtues which shall bring a man's soul safe to Nirvana in the end, see that your sons be not tempted to foreet it by these allurements of the flesh. These boys and girls are to be the parents of the coming generation, and makers of the happiness of home, the honor of the city, the prosperity of the State we are so proud of. Let us remember this and begin early to make them virtuous as well as brave and beautiful; to teach them that the true conduct of life is the highest culture, and that a wide legislation which nips vice in the bud is a better economy than building prisons and hospitals to heal and reform souls and bodies which might have been saved by care before ignorance and temptation ruined them. Cease remonstrating against the withholding rights so many of us are not vet ready to nse, and earnestly profit by one of the tew conceded to us. Be what you are to often called, the good angels of home. the keepers of men's conscience, the mothers of the race, and do your duty in this matter, both for the sake of your own children and those poorer ones who lead a dangerous life for their daily bread and your dangerous pleasure.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

An Attempt Upon His Life In 18G': The Kidnaping Conspiracy, IWheellng (W. Va.) Register. 1 "I am reading with a great deal of intertst Nicolay and Hays' life of Lincoln in the Century," said Mr. John W. Nichols, ex-president of the Omaha Fire Department, to me. "The chapters that will most interest me will be those relating to his career from 1802 to 1805, and particularly the history of the assassination, it is not generally known that more than oris at tempt upon Lincoln s lite was mala in Washington, but such is the 'act." Mr. Mchols statement Interested me somewhat, and I asked him to explain. He then went on and told me substantially the following story: In August 1302, Company K. One Hundred and Fifth Pennsyl vania Volunteers, of which Mr. Nichols was a member, was detailed aa bodv-euard of President Lincoln. Up to 1861, owing to the vigilance of the guards, Mr. Lincoln escaped all attempts at violence. The back of the Confederacy was broken, a good feeling pervaded all Washington, and vigilance "was considerably relaxed. It was then conspiracies were hatched and Conlederates ran the city unmolested. The President and his family spent the sum mer months at the boldiers Home, about three mfles north of the city, whither the tody-guard accompanied them. It was the custom of the President to remain late at the War Department and after his work was concluded he would ride on horseback out to the home. Tuat summer he bad persistently refused an escort imagining h niself perfectly secure. Une night, about the middle oi August, Mr. Nichols was doiDz sentinel duty at the large gate to the grounds of the home. About 11 o clock he beard a rine-suot, and shortly afterward Mr. Lincoln dashed up to the gate on horstback, ihe President was bareheaded, and as he dismounted he said, referring to hh horse: "He came pretty near gettiDg away with me, didn't be? lie got the bit in his teeth before I could draw the rein." Mr. Nichols asked him where his hat was, and he replied that somebody had rl-ed a gun off at the foot of the hill, and that his horse had become scared and jerked his hat off. "Thinking the altair rather strange, said Mr. XSichols, "a corporal and myself went down the hill to make an investigation. At the intersection of the driveway and main road we found the President's hat a p ain silk one and upon examining it we discovered a bullet-hole through the crown. The shot had been hred upward. and it was evident that the person who had fired the shot had secreted himself close by the roadside. The next day I gave Mr. Lincoln his hat and called his attention to the bullet-hole. He remarked unconcerned ly that it was put there by some foolish gunner and was not intended for him. He said, however, that he wanted the matter kept quiet, and admonished us to say nothing about it we felt con htient that it was an attempt to kill him, and a well nigh successful one, too. The. affair was, of course, kept qui t in compliance with the President a request After that the President never rode alone." Mr. Nichols then went on to relate the circumstances of a kidnaping conspiracy which was attempted to be carried out the next fall. This plan was unknowingly frustrated by tbe body-guard, whose quar ten were immediately in front of thesoith poich of the Executive Mansion, e)al-di3 tant between that building and the Treasury, State, War and Navy Departments, Just to the east of the quarters was the euard-tent where a portion of the baivguard remained on duty. For reasons then unknown to the guard the tent was moved to the west end of the grayel walk ia the rear of the War Department Shortly afterward it was learned by the gaud tau on the very night the tent was moved a plan bad been laid to capture .be President as he should pass alone the walk, and carry him to the house of one Greea, a notorious rebel, on the bank ot the Poto mac, back of the White House groacda, and thence, when the opportunity offered, he was to be carried to Richmond and held as a hostage. It was always believed that the moving of the guard tent to the west end ot the walk frightened toe con spirators and thwarted their design. At another time, not long before th;s in cident, Bourke, the veteran coafvuin, who had served through two admiaistra tions at the White House, was taken sick. A stranger from Baltimore applied for the place and succeeded in securing it in trie absence of Bourke. He did not hold the place very long, however, as he became so domineering and important that he wis intolerable. Bourke was reinstated. O e night, not long after he had besn dismissed, the discharged coachman was dis covered sneaking about the stables, whi-.u were soon observed to be on fire. T.ie whole guard was called out and by gre it exertions saved the Presidential coach and team, but Tad Lincoln's pony aid (joionei nay a carriage team per ished. It was believed that a plan bad been formed for this man to fire the stables, and during the excite ment conspirators were to rush into the White House and murder the President Mr. Lincoln, however, rushed out with the rest to the scene of the hre, and thus frus trated any attempt at assassination. "What made this appear more evident, said Mr Mcbols, "was the fact that after tae in cendiary was arrested, he produced seral witnesses who were employed at Ford's Theater, and who testified thst he (the discharged coachman) was down in the city during the whole evening on which the hre occurred. These were the persons who, in my opinion, laid the final conspiracy that brought Abraham Lincoln to his grave. Alfred Soressos. CLEVELAND'S RENOMINATION. Why So Many Democrat Do Not Favor It Matwumpery In the Departments. INew York World Washington Special. I A prominent Southern member of Con gress, an enthusiastic lodorser of President Cleveland, returned to-day from New York city, where he had been for ten days, evi dently feeling that the outlook for a renomination of Mr. Cleveland is not tue most encouraging. To the World correspondent to-night he said: "I mixed around a great deal with the working Democrats while in Nsw lork, and to my astonishment I found but two or three men who indicated a willingness to enter the campaign favoring the President s re nomination. I had reasons to believe that there was considerable dissatisfaction, but I bad not the least conception that it was assum l ig so formidable a sbape. As a friend of th President and coming from a State that will send a solid delegation to the on vention instructed to support his renomin ation, I regard the situation as alarming, if I am to be guided in the least by the feeling which I found to exist With all this. however, I am of the impression that Mr. ripveiand will be renominated and re tltc'erl. though it is a bad sign to see so mucu d word at this early date."

The Interview lletween Salllran and Sir. Cleveland Tb Champion' Advice. Courier Journal Washington 8pec!aL The great hero of the reception at the White House to-day was John L. Sullivan. The President was scarcely noticed. Sulli van came to the Executive Mansion in a hired carriage, accompanied by Pat Sheedy, his backer. The two worthies swaggered into the Rast Room, whereabout 200 ladies and gentlemen were standing or sitting, awaiting the arrival of Mr. Cleveland. The prize fighters took on their bats and waited to the other end of the room, where they were soon surrounded by a number of news paper men, to whom bheedy introduced Sullivan. The President was a little bit late getting down stairs, and the delay gave every one ample opportunity to inspect the bstic champion, ihe men exhibited more curiosity than the ladies, although a few of tbe latter walked past the slugger at a respectful distance, and when they returned to their friends remarked that he didn't look one bit like a big prize-fighter. Sullivan took all the honors paid him as something he was used to, and he appeared to be making an effort to unbend sufficiently to meet the requirements of the occasion and the company be was in. Finally the President arrived. His coming was announced by throwing open the doors which cut the East Rjoui off from the private part of tbe mansion. Sullivan did not fall into the line of visit ors. He was too great for that, evidently. When he saw that the reception was to be in the nature of a procession, he stalked over to one of the sofas and sat down in gloomy grandeur, apparently determined to have a special interview or nothing, and even indicating that he would not think it much amiss if tbe President was brought over to him and introduced. Sheedy, who seems to be a very bright one, waited a fa vorable opportunity, and when there was a little thinning out of the line motioned to Sullivan to come for ward, and Sullivan did so. Standing to the left of his charge, Sheedy said to the President whose hand he took: "Mr. President, the reason for our coming to see you is that we heard you were getting a little too much flesh on you; I have brought Mr. Sullivan ud to give you a few rounds, if you desire it. He will put some of the 'Sullivan administration' into yoa." Mr. Cleveland dropped Mr. bheedy' hand and took Sullivan's, laughing heartily as greeted the champion, and then he said in a complimentary way : ' I don't think I would want more than one blow from him; that would be enough for me.'' Sullivan murmured something about the President looking well, and then he moved off, followed by an admiring crowd, who seemed to have forgotten the President entirely as they essorted the champion to the rront door, un the portico of the hue House Sullivan halted awhile, at his man ager's euggestios, and gave some of tbe bays bis impression of Cleveland. "When I shook hands with him," said Sail van, "I guessed he weighed two fifty, and that he was not In such bad condition as bad been reported. He seems to be all right and if he weighs more tban I think, ail be wants is a treatment of Turkish baths. He wants to let pastry and sweet things alone, be cause they make fat Whisky, did you say? That will do him good if he uses it properly. 15at 1, myself, can t fool with It" Sullivan was then asked about his arm. He lifted that member, and pulling up his coat sleeve with his right hand, showed his left wrist bandaged tightly in linen. "My arm is all right" said Sullivan; "so far as the Done is concerned, that is as goo J as ever, and I m not a bit afraid ot it. But there is a soreness about this wrist below the bieak, and I have blistered it with good effect The reason my wrist is sjre I . a ltl . account lorm tuisway: nen my arm was broken the only support my hand bad was the ligaments, the ulnar muscles. I tblnk. you call them, mat made a strain, and there is no treatment for that strain, while the arm was done up in piaster and tbe bone kniting. Now that I try to use my hand I find the weak spot is in the wrist, and not in tbe forearm, but with rubbing and an occasional blister it will come out all right. It does not affect my strength. It is simply painful. I am not in training at all," he continued, "but I ought to be, as I weigh about twenty-rive pounds too much. I haven't touched a drop of liquor since last July, and when I think It safe I will have no trouble in getting into good trim." When asked how far the combination expected to travel, Sullivan said they were going as far West as St. Louis, making one night stands in the smaller towns in Pennsylvania and Ohio. Then they would go to San Francisco and sail directly for Australia, to be gone a couple of years. Although Sullivan's eye is bright and clear, he does not look in good condition. There is a beenaess about his face and neck that makes tbe flesh roll into creases whenever be turns his close-cropped head, which shows a lack of exercise. His color ii rnt rtnnA Ka InnVi liVa a man whrt n!t up a good deal at night. There la a pallor and general stateness about bum van that ind icates his best days have gone by. "I never felt better in my life," he said to a reporter. "What is my programme? Well, just now I am on a three-months' exhibition tour. In Jane I shall meet Patsey Cardiff, and in September I sail for Australia. Two years from now, it yon want to look that far, I am going to quit the ring and retire on a fortune." "Where will you meet Cardiff?" "In Indianapolis." "Do you have any doubt as to the outcome of the fight?" 1 "None in the world. I can whip him and would have done it before If my arm had not broken. As to my other rumored fight, I can tell yon that the proposed match with Kilrain is off, and that Jim Smith is not coming oyer from England." "Have you any matches arranged in Australia?" "No, but I think some will be fixed up after we get there. I don't know how lODg I will stay in Australia." Sullivan weighs 235 pounds at present but bis flesh is so evenly distributed all over his body that be does not look as heavy as he really is. He will not train below 200 for the Cardiff fight.

HOW KANSAS WOMEN VOTED.

rnbeard-of Scene at the Polls Division Between Ilosband and Wives. ILeavensworth (Kas.) Special to the World. Woman suffrage made its initial experiment in Kansas Tuesday. The reports from various parts of the State are strongly divergent, but a summary of the field seems to givejt he general conclusionthat the women added to the Republican msjorities. The registration was largely from the lower c'ass and moat general among the negroes. in some places where intense local interest proved the incentive, the better class of white women were represented but, even there, they were m the minority. In Leavenworth, where the fight was most bitter, and where the partisans of woman suffrage had masked their leaders, it would be difficult for an outsider to ap preciate toe intense feeling that was prevalent throughout the campa'gn and espe cially xo-aay. Fur four tntrs tbe city has been nomin ally under Democratic rule, although its ofncers were elected by Republican votes. and were really Independent. The Repub licans, led by Dr. Anthony, editor cf the Times, have been using the P'ohioit'.on faction to defeat the united Democratic and Independent parties. The woman suffrage movement, while an old question, owes its present impetus to tee prohibition feeling, ihe bill introduced in the Legislature, while zeneral m its municipal provisions, was intended to have special reference to this city. It is admitted that it added to the Republican strength here 2,000 women votes from the lower classes, 0(A) of which were colored and incapable of reading. Seven hundred women of the better clasäes, in view uf tut formidable organization, were induced to register and cast tbeir influence it!i tie better classes, but they are so far o i -weighed by tbe rougher element im .- duced that the election he People's ticket is a matter of great doubt The purifying influence of woman's vote has proven a deplorable failure here. Its introduction has been a disturbing element rather than a benefit The women brought to bear intiuence and pressure are as corrupting as are those of the male machine. Money has been used. Instead of lending a mining atmosphere to tbe election the contest has simply developed tbe less admirable qualities of the gentle sex. The greatest enthusiasm prevaileJ here amoag the women, who were the first at the polls this mornin. In one ward a line of fully 20 stood in place for over an hour. A fence divided the window of the polling places. On one side the women voted and on the other tbe men. Every available vehicle in the city was run for their accommodation. Each vehicle was in charge of a female enthusiast The wealthy ladies in a fit of desperation placed their private carriages at work. Early in the day a stampede occurred in one ward owing to the efforts of some women t ) influence the vote of another. The men quickly took part in the discussion, and several knock downs occurred in short order. The women fled preciptately. Three aires' were made, but not before Chief of Police Roberts, who led the squad in that parti .miar ward, had received a painful, though not dangerous gash in the right temple. At one poll a man and his wife advanced to vote. "What is the use in this?" the husband asked. "We are voting exactly opposite each other and one vote offsets the other." They argued not to vo'e and departed with the understanding that they were paired. In a short time the woman returned and deposited her vote alone. An emphatic example of tbe disturbing in licence of tbe new order of things was found in the fact that the police were called upon to interfere in a dispute between man aad wife. who began quarreling at the polls and were about to come to blows. The fact is undeniable, however, that the new element has proven a potent facto JSeedy. the people s candidate lor Mayor, bad a large majority at his election, and his popularity had increased, but the nw vote has made his re election so doubtful that his best friends claim a victory only day by an equal number. At Lawrence, where one half the fall registration was women, the woman saf frage movement had probably one of the most important tests in the State. The day really began last night when the Re publicans held a mass-meeting at which 2,000 people were present, ner rly one-half of whom were women, it was one Of the most enthusiastic meetings ever held in Lawrence, Two judges, a colored woman, a prominent lawyer, and two well-known ladies of culture addressed the meeting. The speech of the colored woman, Mrs. SteeD3. was received with tremendous ap plause. The ladies have turned out in full force to-day and nearly all of tbe 1,104 reg istered women voted. A hard fight was made against Baker, the Republican candidate for Mayor, on account of his allegod immorality. The women, notwithstanding the charges against his character, elected him by the largest majority a Mayor ever received in Lawrence. Many amusing incidents occured. The white women came in tneir own carriages, but the colored dames and damsels rode at the expense of somebody In hacks and dressed in their very best rigs. They fully appreciate the dignity of their position. In a very few cases famines are divided. "There ain't no dinner for me to-day," remarked a colored pressman, "the old woman's gone to election," and he sadly scrubbed the forms, observing, "I tried to get her to pair off with me, since.we are for different men, but she said she was going to vote anyhow, because the preacher toll her she had to. in nearly every esse, however, the women voted as their hus bands told them to. Old colored women. being unable to read, in nearly every case brought with them some female friend to read their ticket to them. They were not willinz to trust the men. One old auntie said : "It 'pears to me sorter queer dat one dicket am Republican and de odder one Union. I thought de Republican ticket waa de Union ticket and dat de Democrat ticket was de Kebel ticket." The strict obsirvance of the fifty-foot law and the presence of ladies male the election an unusually quiet one. A chalk mark fifty feet from the polls at each voting place was the dead line over which no one dared pass except to vote and Immediately retire. Not a drunken man has been seen in the city to-day. The Republican ticket is elected for the first time in the municipal election in i twelve veara. The women have done it. because thev.are Republicans almost uniformly, and would not even scrach a ticket. Although Atchison is one of the largest towns in Kansas, only 33Q roters registered. Of these, over 100 were colored women, and tbe majority ot the others were widows or old maids. The women voted almost nnanimously for the Democratic candidate for Mayor and for the balance the Republican ticket The city ticket bore the names of three women, all candidates for theSbcool Board. They are undoubtedly elected. Many amusing incidents are reported. A woman who had voted for the Republican candidate for JMayor, returned and asked the judges if Bhe could not have back the ticket she had handed in, saying that she bad made a mutake and wanted :o vote for tbe other man. Upon being informed that it vfs too late to change her mind, she accused the judges and clerks of stiil desiring to oppress the women and deprive tbem of their rights. In some instances the ladies delayed their lines until they reached the voting window before preparing their tickets, and then they discussed the respective merits of tbe candidates with whom they were personally acquainted. Tbe day at Atchison was totally without sensation, and if the question of participatiug ia lutwi ttatf? a? ww hit Trrtä

the vomea withoat agitation, there would te a tlorongh abandonment of the privilege. In Wichita the experiment waa but little more popular. Scatierlrg returns from Kansas indicate that the municipal elections in general passed o3 quietly, and, as far as can now be judged, the introduction ot female suffrage does not work great change in tue character of results.

JOHN D. MORRISSEY. Outline of tbe HUtory of a New Light in the Sporting World. IXew York Special. When the race-horse. Montana Regent. was purchased for $10,000, a year ago. Eastern turfmen were anxious to know the new owner of the colt. It was generally understood that ex-Governor Pinchback, of Louisiana, was the purchaser. Turfgoers in the Last had settled down to that conviction, when it was announced tbat John D. Momssey had bought the colt. Then everybody in the East wanted to know sonietmng about Momssey. Tu f men had not heard ot bim before. While speculation as to his identity wag going arouad, Mr. Momssey purchased other race corses, and followed the matter up by an offer to race Montana Reeent against Lucky Ualdwin s great hone, olante, the champion of the Pacific coast and the equine pet of many Eastern turf-oers. It was Vo!ante that won the chaniDion stakes at Moamouth Park las: Saturday, and by the by, he was named to win by Black and Blue. I.ucky Baldwin won't allow anyb dy t. deny the merits of Volante, uo when Momssey talked about Montana f;.eut. Baldwin promptly offered to race Yoli-n'e ajjaiait him for $10,000. Baldwin, in ti'.b ibal ei ee, made no conditions, o3eriLg t( alluw Morrissey to name the disia: o fcd anange other particulars, only .-- t r im mat tbe race should be run .v. . rck adding the greatest amount of money. Morrhsey, instead of accepting this sweeping challenge of the California millionaire and ranchman, responded by offering to race at Memphis during the latter rart of this month when he wll knew Volante would be in California. This angered Baldwin, and he offered to race Volante against any horse in America at a mile and a half for any money. Morritsey, iD stead of declining or accepting this challenge, responded by offering to race Montana Regentat two and a quarter miles aga nst Volante for $23,000 a side, at or aft-r the Chicago meeting, Morrissey knowing full well that this was not only an evasion of Baldwin's manly challenge, but was ridiculous, also, from the fact that Volante woi Id be filling engagements in the East when Morrissey wanted him to race In tbe West All turfmen agree that Morrissey wanted to bluff Bild win, and that he failed after tbe manner of Mr. J. B. Ilaggin last year. Baldwin Is a thorough sportsman, and would run his borse on three legs after giving his word for a race. All this talk has led to inn airy about Morrissey. He has had .lots of eod fortune, and as he will be prominently before tbe public, bis life is worth writing about He is an Irishman under forty years of age, with a good deal of native tact and little education. A tew years ago be was glad to get $1 a day In a Leadville mine. His income now is more than $1,000 a week. When he arrived in Leadville about eight or nine years ago, he could neither read nor write. His illiteracy did not trouble him much until he began to climb the ladder to wealth, and was forced by circumstances to mingle with the brains, culture and capital of the great carbonate camp. Then he employed a private tutor and studied hard until he was able to sign his name and read the signatures of others. Morrissey'a ascension to alllnence was rapid. He learned practical mining at Georgetown, Col., and was working as a miner in the Crowi Point proprty at Leadville when it was offered for sale by disgusted stockholders. One of tbese was Joseph Reynolds, of Chicago, who was known to fame as "Diamond Joe" and the "steamboat king." Horrisey whispered something to him and Reynolds said. "Go ahead ana you will receive one-third of all the ore you turn out." Morrisey went ahead, and after working hard for six months uncovered the richest body of wire silver-bearing ore ever discov ered in the State. From ttiat msment fort une smiled on him. As fast as he made money he invested It The Crown Point is still pouring out wealth for him. and he receives a share of the output of the best mines at Aspen, Red Cliff, Sowbelly Gulch and other points within 100 miles of Leadville. He has always been a lover and promoter of square sports. When a worklug miner he was prominent in the wrest- . i , . . i nrg ana Dozing maicnes neia aimosi aaiiy at Leadville, and as his fortune increased he rede his hobby higher. Fall of Oost and Mad. lAugusta (Wis ) 8pecial.l About an inch of snow fell here last nipht. tbe surface of which is covered with a thick layer of what seems to be dust or ashes. The whole country, so far as heard from, is covered with the same yellowish snow. It is a strange phenomenon. I Chippewa Falls Special.! A strange freak of nature exhibited itself in this city last night in the shape of a mud storm. During the night there was a slight fall of snow, and in the morning the top was covered with a thick coating of mud. Nothing of the kind has ever taken place here before. Good Advice. "My son," said the old man, "do yon remember what 'Polonius' said jn his parting advice to I.aertes' 'neither a borrower nor a lender beV " "Yes, father," replied the young man, thoughtfully, "and I think Tolonius' was just about half right" INDIGESTION. . "I suffered for more than a year with indigestion, and during the last six months I was very bilious, occasionally having a dumb chill followed by levera, which prostrated me for weeks. I took Simmons Liver Regulator and for several months I have been as stout and hearty as any man could desire to be. . I am thoroughly satisfied it is all it is recommended for indigestion and bilious comDlaints, for mine was certainly a stubborn case. I have heard many of my friends speak of it aad all agree that it possesses all the virtues you claim for it" A. H. Hightow er, Conductor on M. and W. Railroad. "Mv husband being blind, requires him to lead a very sedentary life, and, consequently he suffers greatly from indigestion. Havirg heard of Simmons Liver Regulator he commenced using it regularly. The indigestion has left him and.be is now enjoying better health than he has known for years." Mrs. Stephen Menari, Macon. Ga. This trade mark Z la red on front of wrapper is your protection.
