"Don't overlook their spurs, said I. "Th?y ain't rot none," said he, "except those you lend er,i." We returned to a table palled by Bullen dread dread of m, anger bgainst Iominfck, who. In the course of his ignorance of the conventionalities which restrained them, had taken, the thort. straight cut to rne end peace. And, as veterans in the no-quarter warfare of ambition, they knew I had granted him peace on no less terms than their heads. They had all, even Roebuck, been drinking freely in the effort to counteract the depression. But thechamane seemed only to aggravate their rloom except in the ca.se of young Jamieson. He had just succeeded through the death of his father, to the privilege of levying upon the people of 11 counties by means of trolley franchisee which the legislature had granted to his father in perpetuity in rturn for financial services to "the j.arty." It is, by the way, an inter--sting illustration of the hnman being's lack of thinking power that a legislature could not give away a email gold mine belonging to the public to any man for even a brief term of years- without causing a revolution, but could and does give away far more valuable privileges to plunder and to tax. and give them away forever, without causing any real stir. However young Jamieson's liquor, acting upon a mind that had not had enough experience to appreciate the meaning of the situation, drove him oa to insclent taunts and boasts, addressed to his neighbors but intended for me. I ignored him, and, when the -coffee was served, rose to depart. Roebuck urged me to stay, followed rue to the cloak-rcom, took my coat away from the servant and helped me with it. "I want to see you the first thing in the morning, Harvey, said he. 'I'll call you up if I have time,"j

said I.

We came out of the cloak-room, his

arm linked in mine, and crossed the corner of the dining-room toward the

outer door. Jamieson threw up his

arm and fluttered his hand in an irr.

pertinent gesture of farewell. "So

long. Senator Swollenhead," he cried In a thick voice. "We'll teach you a lesson in how to treat gentlemen." The last word gentlemen was just clearing his mouth when Dominick's tea-pot, flung with all the force of the ex-prize-fighter's big muscles and his big body, landed in the midst of his broad white shirt-bosom. And with the tea-pot Dominick hurled his favorite epithet from his garbage barrel of language. With a yell Jamieson crashed over backward; his flying legs, caught by the table, tilted It; his convulsive kicks sent it over, and half the diners, including Dominick, were floored under it. All this in a snap of the finger. And with the disappearance of the physical semblance of a coirpany of civilized men engaged in dining in civilized fashion, the last thin veneer over hate and fury was scraped away. Curses and growling roars made a repulsive mess of sound over that repulsive mess of unmasked, halfdrunken, wholly infuriated brutes There is shrewd, sly wisdom snugly tucked away under the fable of the cat changed into a queen and how she sprang from her throne at sight of a mouse to pursue it on all fours. The est of us are, after all, animals changed into men by the spell of rea son; and in some circumstances, it doesn't take much of a blow to dissolve that spell. For those men in those circumstances, that blow proved sufficient. Partridge extricated himself, ran round the table and kicked Jamieson in the head partly in punishment, perhaps, and because he needed just that vent for his rage, but chiefly to get credit with me, for he glanced toward me as he did it. Men, sprawling and squirming side by side on the floor, lashed out with feet and fists, striking each other and adding to the wild dishevelment. The candles set fire to the tablecloth, and before the blaze was extinguished burned several in the hair and mustaches. Dominick, roaring with laughter, came to Roebuck and roe standing

at the door, both dazed at this magic shift of a "gentleman's" dinner into a bear-pit. "Granby's ghost is raisin hell," said he.

But I had no imp-ise to laugh orJ

gloat. "Good night,- said I -to Roebuck, and hastened away. It was the end of the attempt to mine the foundations of my power. But I did not neglect its plain warnin?. As soon as the legislature assembled, I publicly and strongly advocated the appointment of a joint committee impartially to investigate all the cities of the state, those ruled by my own party no less than those of the opposition. The committee was appointed and did its work so thoroughly that there was. a popular

clamor for the taking away of the charters of the cities and for ruling them from the state capita'.. It Is hardly necessary to say that my legislature and governor yielded to this clamor. And so the semi-independent petty princes, the urban bosses, lost their independence and passed under my control; and the "collections" which had gone directly to them reached them by way of Woodruff as grants from my machine, instead of revenues of, their own right. Before this securing of my borne power was complete, I had my counter-attack upon the Burbank-Goodrich combine well under way. Immediately on my return to Fredonia from the disastrous dinner I sent for the attorney general of the state, Ferguson. He was an ideal combination of man and politician. He held to the standards of private morality as nearly as it is possible for a aiaa in acJv public life to hold to them far more nearly than most men dare or, after they have become inured, care, to hold. He always maintained with me a firm but tactful independence; he saw the necessity for the sordid side of politics, but he was careful personally to keep clear of smutching or besmutchlng work. He had as keen an instinct for popularity as a bee has for blossoms; he knew how to do or to direct unpopular things on dark nights with a dark lantern, how to do or to direct popular things in full uniform on a white horse. I have never ordered any man toa task that was not morally congenial: and I was careful to respect Ferguson's notion of self-respect. I sent for him now, and outlined my plan to bring

suits, both civil and criminal, in the federal courts in the name of the state, against Roebuck arid his associates of the Power trust. When he had heard, he said: "Yes, Mr. Sayler, we can break up the Power trust, can cause the Indictment and conviction of Mr. Roebuck. I can

prevent the United States attorney general from playing any of the usual tricks and defending the men whom the people think he is vigorously prosecuting. Hut " "But?" said I, encouragingly. "Is this on the level? If I undertake these prosecutions, shall I be allowed to push them honestly? Or will there be a private settlement as soon as Roebuck and his crowd see their danger?" "No matter what happens." I replied, "you shall prosecute at least the civil suits to the end. I give you my word for that." He thanked me warmly, for he appreciated that I was bestowing upon him an enormous opportunity for national fame. "And you?" asked I. "If you succeed In this prosecution, will you remain In the public service or will you accept the offers the interests will make, and remove to New York and become a rich corporation lawyer?" He reflected before i answering. "That depends." said he. "If you are going to stay on in control of this state, I shall stick to public life, for I believe you will let me have what I call a career. Put, if you are going to get out and leave me at the mercy of those fellows. I certainly shan't stay where they can fool the people into turning on me." "I shall stay on." said Ij "and after me, there will be Woodruff unless, of course, there's some sort of cataclysm." "A man must take chances," he answered. "I'll take that chance." We called Woodruff into consultation. . Although he was not a lawyer, he had a talent for taking a situation by the head and tail and stretching It jout and holding it so that every crease and wrinkle in it could be seen. And this made him valuable at any conference. In January we had onr big batteries

loaded, aimed and primed. e unmasked it. and Ferguson fired. I had expected the other side to act stupidly, but I had not hoped for such stupidity as they exhibited. Burbank's year of bathing in presidential flatteries and of fawning on and cringing to the multi-millionaires and their agents hedging him around, had so wrought upon him that he had wholly lost his point of view. And be let

his attorney general pooh-pooh the proceedings this in the face of the great popular excitement and enthusiasm. It was not until Roebuck's lawyers got far enough into the case against him to see his danger that the administration stopped flying in the teeth of the cyclone of lublic sentiment and began to pretend enthusiasm, while secretly plotting thr mistrial of Ferguson's case.

Repertoire at the Phillips. The regular weekly reception given by the Desmond Stock Co., was held Friday afternoon, after the performance, with a large attendance of the ladies and children in the audience.

Miss Desmond and her company are making many friends during their stay in Richmond, and it is certain that they are making good as actors. Next week they will present two very jopular plays. The first part of the week they will produce the thrilling comedy, entitled, "Lucifer the Detective." The latter part they will present that laughable comedy, "The Whole Darn Family." In her specialty for the first three days. Miss Desmond will sing an entirely new sony, entitled, "It's All for the Best," written by Chas. Towle, of this city. Several other specialties have been secured by Manager Murray for next week, and, taken as a whole, one of the best week of the engagement is expected. Tonight the final performance of "The Girl from Nevada" will be given.

Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription Is a powerful, invigorating tonic, imparting health and strength in particular to the organ distinctly feminine. The local, womanly health is so intimately related to th general health that when diseases of the delicate womanlv organs are cured the whole body gains in health and strength. For -weak and sicklv women who are "worn-out." "run-down" or debilitated, especially for women who work in store, orhce or schoolroom, who tit at the typewriter or sewing machine, or bear heavy household burdens, and for nursing mothers. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has proven a priceless benefit because of its Leaith-reotoring and strenth-givinc powers. As a soothing and strenethening nervine. -Faorite Prescription" is i!nequaled and is invaluable in allaying and ubduing nervous r xcitahilitv, irritability, nervous exhaustion, nervous prostration, neuralgia, hysteria, spasms, chorea, or St. Vitus's dance, and other distressing nervous symptoms commonly attendant upon functional and organic disease of the womanly organs. It induces refreshing sleep and relieves mental anxiety and despondency. Cures obstinate cases. "Favorite Prescription " is a positive cure for the most complicated and obstinate cases of "female weakness," painful periods, irregularities, prolapsus or falling of the pelvic organs, weak back, bearing-down sensations, chronic congestion, inflammation and ulceration. Dr. Pierce's medicines are made from harmless but efficient medical roots found growing in our American forests. The Indians knew of the marvelous curative value of some of these roots and imparted that knowledge to some of the friendlier whites, and gradually some of the more progressive physicians came to test and use them, and ever since they have grown in favor by reason of their superior curative virtues and their safe and harmless qualities. Your druggists sell the "Favorite Peescription " and also that famous alterative, blood purifier and stomach tonic, the "Golden Medical Discovery." Write to Dr. Pierce about your case. He is an experienced physician and will treat your case as eonudential and without charge for correspondence. Address bim at the Invalid Ilotel and Surgical Institute, Rnffalo. N.

WORK BETWEEN RICHMOND AND FORT WAYNE IS NOT AS PRESSING AS THAT FURTHER TO THE NORTH.

The gravel train and steam shovel, which have been working for the past several weeks at the Parry gravel pit northwest of the city on the G. K. .S: I., have been recalled by the officials

and the steam shovel has been taken to Wolcotville, north of Ft. Wayne.

that it may do duty on that section of the road. There are a number of

switches near Ft. Wayne which have to be raised and reballasted, while the embankments in several different sections have to . be reinforced. The crew which has been working in the local pit will assist in this work. The road is far more in need of repair along the northern division than that section between Richmond and Ft. Wayne, and it is supposed that the officials of the road decided to get it in shape there before operations were continued here. The work between this city and Ft. Wayne is not pressing and can be done at any time during the summer. Owing to recent heavy rains the local pit was partially submerged and this was one reason 'why the steam shovel and work train were recalled from this point. From Ft. Wayne comes the news that all three work trains on the road both on the north and south divisions, have been recalled and probably will not be placed in service again this summer. This, however, is not given credence by local railroad officials.

COMMITTEE CONSIDERING.

Some of the boys of the printing department at Garfield school are desirous of an arrangement that will permit them to continue printing during the summer vacation. It is not expected that a technical knowledge of the trade can be learned, but because of the valuable help afforded pupils in correct composition, it seems worth while to give the request of the boys a favorable hearing. The committee on general exercises has the matter under consideration and will repoit plans to council for the continuance of this work.
