Now Miss Cisneros should hurry up and get on the stage.

Twenty poker players were arrested in Nashville. The hand of the law won.

After all it looks as though the Hon Dick Croker might as well have stayed England.

It is dollars to doughnuts that Weyler asking the Lord not to be oil General Blanco's side.

The Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse seems to be made of much better stuff than her hu man namesake.

Uncle Sam's chances of getting Hawaii are beginning to assume the stable charac teristics of a lead-pipe cinch.

If those 400,000 men go on strike in Eng land it will be one more startling reminder of the evils of protection.

General Gomez announces that he will take great pleasure in filling General Blanco's days in Cuba, with excitement.

Mr. Bryan has been accused of being "dry." This fault should not appear in his speeches while he in Kentucky.

Captain General Weyler is now getting tome little notion of how it feels to be "thrust out into the cold, cold world.

If Henry George is elected mayor of Greater New York Tom L. Johnson will fasten on to several large hunks of the swag.

The Texas college boy is somewhat of a hoodlum but he does not appear to be in with a student of an Eastern theological sem inary.

With all the stirring up that is being done in a political way in Kentucky let us hope that Joe Blackburn will not be disturbed.

The New York band which succeeded in shutting off Mrs. Lease could get rich by touring the country. It must be a wonderful organization.

Ex-Queen Lil has been offered $2,000 to preside over a Kansas carnival. Of course this isn't «. queenship, but it looks like a Job that Lil would better accept.

Now that Mary Lease is opposing the candidacy of General Tracy, about all the Republicans of Greater New York need is to get Helen Gougar to doing the same thing.

Illinois Bryanites are talking of Altgeld lor the seat in congress made vacant by the death of Congressman Cook. Well, Altgeldism and Bryanism ought to mix all right.

A German editor has been sentenced to eight months' imprisonment for slandering King Leopold of the Belgians. The lese ma Jeste business is a good deal safer in the United States than it in Europe.

Bismarck declares that one of the chief regrets of his old age is that he cannot ride a bicycle. Since the grizzled statesman has never tried to learn to ride a wheel he of course does not know what he has missed.

The glib way General Blanco has of talking about "ending the war in Cuba" gives rise to the suspicion that early in the future he will make a second and more accurate estimate of the job he has on his hands.

Inasmuch as Queen Victoria has never allowed hereelf the enlightenment of a visit '.o the United States her despondency as to the future of this country can be excused. The good old woman simply does not know whet she is talking about.

The beloved Rockville Tribune thinks The Express has been guilty of a species of sacrilege in referring to the author of "Proress and Poverty" as a "wild-eyed theorist." If Mr. George's style of political economy does not belong to the realm of theory, and wildeyed theory at that, will the Tribune kindly locate it?

PRINCIPLES BURIED.

If the dickerings between the agents of Henry George and those of Seth Low are not Sisgraceful it would be difficult to state why. The alliance between the single taxer and ihe puppet of the Mugwumps can be nothing else than an alliance for the sake of the lpoils. Their principles, so far as either may be presumed to have any in this campaign, ire not harmonious. The George platform endorses the Chicago deliverance in its entirety and the Low people are on record as

friends

of sound money. Had not the exigenqj canvass now going on in Greater1

New York suggested a union of the resources of these two candidates, it is beyond the limits of reason to suppose that tney would ever have dreamed 9? such a thing.

It has becoES perfectly r-iain that the Low people are in the fight to win at least a partial victory at all hazards. They would like to have the mayoralty and every other office, but doubting their strength singlehanded they have seen fit to enter into petty haggling wi'h the leaders of the George movement. Principles have been utterly forgotten by these political traders. Bossism hai been exemplified by them as never before in this country. They have consulted nobody but themselves in regard to a single proposition that has found its way into their councils. Unrestrained, undirected, irresponsible, these men have met and cast lots, as it were, for the spoils attaching to the administration of the affairs of Greater New York. In the outset Seth Low boasted that he was a Republican, but since then he has given the lie to that impudent and meaningless assertion. He is not a Republican, or, if he is, he is a Republican who has turned upon his party as a traitorous enemy.

Seth Low should be buried in the wreck of the ragtag and bobtail opposition to General Tracy. He should go down with Tammany, free silver and unprincipled. Mugwumpery. If there was ever any virtue in him he must have lost it. If his conscious was once a sensitive thing it is, nojy benumbed. If he started out under, the'impression that he was a savior he must'liay^ long since' lost that feeling in the light of the truth. If he accepted the nomination qt the Citizens' Union with the understanding that his friends were after purity In politics and nothing else, surely he has learned better, and if he was an honest man then he is a hypocrit now.

General Tracy is the clean candidate and the only clean one. His record remote and recent is blotless. He stands for definite principles and would scorn to Join a reckless and graceless scramble for swag. The people of Greater New York will honor themselves and demonstrate their sound sense by electing him.

TURPIE AND MATTHEWS.

Both Will Probably Be Candidates for United States Senator.

Ex-Governor Matthews and Senator Turpie have failed to come to an understanding in reference to the United States senatorship, and it seems certain at this time that both will be in the race next year, says the Indianapolis News. Soon after the senator's return from Washington, after the special session of congress, the former governor invited him to come to Vermillion county for a visit. The senator accepted and a few days ago returned from the outing. The story comes from the western part of the state that the senator and the ex-governor while fishing in the Wabash, talked over the situation without reaching an understand ing. The talk of the senator, is said, indicated that he intends to ask to be returned to the senate in the event the Jegis lature be Democratic.

Several months ago the ex-gov.?rnor was half inclined to step aside unless be had a clear field, but his friends throughout the state were unwilling that he should an nounce such a decision, and have been insisting that he shall stay in the race no matter what the seiiator Intends to do. Within the last two months the ex-governor has been visiting different sections of the state, and his friends here understand rbat he is satisfied with his "fences." It has been .suggested that he could well afford to ask the state convention to indorse his candidacy, but, it is stated that he will not consider such a thing unless Senator Tur pie and other candidates, if there be any, express a desire that the convention shall point to the man that is to go before the general assembly. John W. Kern of this city is still being suggested as a candidate, and the best informed politicians are in clined xo believe that he will enter the con test liter on.

The Republican newspapers! in the Tenth congressional district are "booming" J. Frank Hanley for United States senator. The politicians &rei nclined to believe that he may come to the legislature with several votes. In discussing his candidacy, the politicians are remarking that Lieutenant Governor Haggard, who edits a paper at Lafayette, is placed in an embarrassing po sition. On account of the "geography" of the situation he is in duty bound, it is said, to support Hanley, notwithstanding the election of Governor Mount to be senator would make him (Haggard) governor. The lieutenant governor'^ friends here say they will not be surprised if he throws the "geography" of the situation overboard and con tinues to shout for the governor.

NEW ALBANY BANK TO CLOSE.

Light Demand for Money Makes Business Unprofitable. Special to the Indlacaoolis News.

New Albany, Ind., Oct. 14.—The board of directors of the First National Bank have decided to wind up the affairs of the bank and retire from business. The reason advanced is that, owing to the small demand for money Hind low 'Fate of interest nothing can be made- ill' the business. The stockholders will act on the directors' decision at a meeting to be held October 26th. Since the bank wag" established, in 1865, over $1,200,000 ill dividends has been paid. The bank has been carrying a reserve fund of 80 per cent for the past year, and all depositors will be paid on demand. Samuel A. Culbertson is president and Jesse J. Brown vice president of the bank.

MISSING SINCE MONDAY.

George Hull Has Not Been Seen or Heard of Since Then. Special to the Indianapolis News.

Frankfort, Ind., Oct. 14.—George Hull of Milford, 111., is missing from his home and no little uneasiness is felt by friends and relatives in this city as to his whereabouts. Last Saturday he purchased a meat market in this city, and Monday morning left Milford with over $700 in cash, intending to come here and take possession of his property. Since then he has not been seen or heard from. It is feared that he met with foul play, either at Hoopeston, 111., or on his arrival in Frankfort on a night train. The missing man is an Englishman by birth, 60 years of age, and had been doing a prosperous merchant tailoring business at Milford.

SUICIDE FOR SCIENCE.

Doctor Bleeds to Death Asking Another to Take Notes. Atlanta. Ga., Oct. 13.—One physician watched another bleed to death in the Hotel Aragon under horrible circumstances. The man who died was Theodore Todd Munroe of Union, S. C., a doctor, with a large practice and rich. The solitary spectator was Jerome Going. ,•

The two came to Atlanta to consult physicians- regarding Dr. Munroe, who had become a slave to morphine. They sat talking in their hotel room until late at night. One of the physicians suggested that If ever

a physician Intended to commit suicide, he could make the performance of lasting value to the profession by doing it in the presence of fellow practitioners.

Dr. Munro retired, but had not been in bed a moment when he called Dr. Going to him. The latter saw the bed" clothing stained with blood, and, pulling off the sheets, found that Dr. Munroe had severed arteries in different parts of his body with a keen edged pocket knife.

The injured man looked at his friend with a smile, and said: "Now take notes." Then he closed his eyes and passed gradually into unconsciousness.

Dr. Going worked with all'his strength to save the life of bis friend, but failed. Dr. Munroe died twenty minutes after he had used the knife.

MATTOON'S BIG STREET FAIR.

Two Miles of Booths With Exhibits to Be Seen Without Cost

Matloon 111., Oct. 13.—Today was the opening day of Mattoon's big free street fair. The fair was placed on its feet by liberal subscriptions from the businessmen of the city, and liberal premiums were offered in all the departments, the same as the regulation county fair.

A| street fair is naturally an enigma to most people and the Mattoon fair, which will stand as a representative example, is thus described: Along the center of the principal paved street of the city for a distance of a mile a double line of booths has been erected, thus making two miles of booths. The booths stand back to back, facing out, leaving a good walkway on both sides of the street, and are covered with canvas ahd lighted by electricity. In these booths are exhibited the business displays, many of which are decidedly of the exposition order, and are placed the exhibits of departments that may be made in the open air. Other departments, such as art, culinary, etc., and the University of Illinois exhibit find places in the city building and business rooms, where they may receive protection.

In all departments the number of entries is remarkably large and special attention is attracted to the fine display in the live stock departments. For the interest of the public, a regular programme of attractions has been arranged, for instance, ball games, horse racing, trick bicycle riding, band concerts, jubilee concerts, trapeze performance, vitascope views, balloon ascension, etc. So that it is one big continuous show, and the attractive feature of the whole buisness to the average citizen is that it is wholly and entirely without prlct.

A BOY'S SUICIDE.

Was Infatuated With a Little Girl, Who Loved Him Not.

Parkersburg, W. Va., Oct. 14.—George H. Shrader, a boy 17 years old, committed suicide near his home, on Wolf Pen creek, four miles from Ravenswood. The boy had become infatuated with Bertha Laughty, a young girl of 15 years, living near his home. A day or two before the suicide the boy told the girl if she could not return his love he would kill himself.

Nothing was thought of this threat until about noon, when a gunshot was heard in the woods near the house, and search was made, resulting in the discovery of the dead body of the boy. He had. blown his head to pieces.

Youthful Elopers Married,

Lexington, Ky., Oct. 14.—Miss Lida Horsney, age 14, took her school books yesterday morning, and, instead of going to school, she met her lover Ernest W. Frazer, age 18, and they were awaiting the arrival of a train to go to Paris and be married when the girl's father arrived on the scene. The girl broke away from her father and later in the day met Frazer, and they boarded an afternoon train. The father reached the depot too late, but sent a bicyclist across town to the Fourth street crossing, where the train was haled and searched, but the elopers had locked themselves into a small room and escaped. They were married at Paris last night.

Roetgen Kays Find Nothing:. The experiment in the Case of John Hanley of this city, which a number of lo^al physicians Conducted by the aid of the Roentgen rays, revealed nothing. Mr. Hanlev's right arm, where originated the distress which he has so terribly suffered of late, was placed under the strange light, but nothing wrong could be discovered, except a possible dislocation of the elbpw. Another operatiorf will be performed upon the jaw of the un fortunate man soon.

Mrs. John Henderson Injared. Mrs. John Henderson of Highland Place while out driving with some of her friends in Clay county yesterday was pitched out of the carriage by the shying of the teartl and severely injured. Her husband, who is employed at Hughes, Wolf & Miller's, was notified by telegram and left for the place at once.

Swore Before Another's Wife. John Hardesty swore out a warrant before 'Squire Brown yesterday for the arrest of James Robertson. The latter is alleged to have indulged in some sky blue epithets in the presence of Mrs. Hardest^

EXCHANGE ECHOES.

Springfield (Mass) Republican: It cost -the state of Pennsylvania $94,245 to maintain the troops at Hazelton in consequence of the recent miners' troubles. That was a pretty expensive order to fire which an overhasty sheriff gave his depu'tles last month, and the money cost only fefftly expresses the results. I

Boston Post: There is no coutt that the rational system of license and regulation established in Massachusetts was reached earlier and more surely because of the experience with prohibition Nor 16 there any question that the real temperance movements—those based upon what we coil "moral suasion" and personal Influence—have osen inspired to greater activity by the Urgency of the extremists for statutory prohibition.

Atlanta Constitution: fraternal sentiments have largely taken the p.-ace of sectional prejudice and naturally as the- result of this gratifying change our brethren of the North are beginning to appreciate more fully the extraordinary resources and possibilities of the South. With the utmost confidence in the geniafr quality of her climate and the labor enriching fertility of her soil, the South extends a cordial invitation to restless and dig* satisfied spirits in all sections to come into her midst and aid her In developing her. marvelous resources.

Memphis Commercial-Appeal: Governments are always reaching out and yearning for mortf power, are always invading the provinces of private enterprise, and it is a well-fcnowa fact that power once granted a government,' national, eta'te or iiunicipal, Is surrendered only after a fierce struggle. Against this communistic tendency toward centralization, democracy stand with uplifted sword, whil^ experience, pointing to the past, warns unthinking enthusiasts of the disasters which they must inevitably meet when once thet government Is made to usurp the functions o? the individual.

Kansas City Journal: When properly made the pumpkin pic is the embodiment, so to speak, of peace on sarth and good will to men. No man ever plotted treason or formulate* dark and damnable designs while filling his system with genuine New England pumpkin pie. Other pies may induce despepsU and the horrors of nightmare, but the genuine pumpkin pie may be eaten at the dread hoar of midnight without a tremor of fear. If the genuine, thick, creamp. sweet-scented pumpkin pie could be universally distributed it would banish pessimism and cause anarchy to take to the woods.

*.

That tonnty Building Sprang from the Fmlsciln lmms(lnatloR of .vlj Reporter. ii:~-

Here is a reportorlal emanation taken from ,the Gazette of Wednesday evening: Th^'brick building at 'the northeast corner of. Third and Poplar streets which is owned by th'* county, has, for some time past, been occupied by a lot of negroes of both sexes and their,-ponduct is said to have been Indecent is the extreme^ The men and women, none of thein married, mingled 'together and held drunken carousals almost nightly. The residents.'of that locality entered frequent ana vigorous protests against the dive, but* it was not until this week that the country commissioners consented to act and order the inmates to vacate. One of the women revisited the house yesterday r-,nd was arrested oy the police, but afterwards released on promise 'to stay away from the place. It is pertitinent to ask how the county commissioners rented the property.to such a disreputable lot of people.

The inference from the above is that good people have long been going to the county commissioners and beseeching them to get rid of their undesirable tenants. The inference is further that the county commissioners have turned a deaf ear to these appeals. Of course no such thing has ever happened. "It was not until this week that the county commissioners consented to act and order the inmates to vacate," says the budding H. Rider Haggard of the Gazette. The county commissioners "consented to act" week before this reporter dreamed that any lewd, characters had ever been in the county house. Furthermore, ihey "consented to act" on the same day they learned that there was any call for action—indeed, a very few hours after word of the state of affairs on the northeast corner of Walnut and Third streets reached them.

It waa on Wednesday or Thursday of last week that the county commissioners learned for the first time that there was anything wrong with the inmates of the building in question. As soon as the information reached them they went at once to the scene of the reported scandal and found the house empty. The offenders had sniffed danger and cleared out. By a search the officials found two of the negro men who had been occupying rooms in the county building and these fellows were informed that if they did not vacate by the night of that same day the police would take them down where they could hear what the wild waves were saying.

That night watch was kept on the county house and it was still as death. The' negro mfen did not return and no more was seen of the dusky fairies who had been their companions. The disgraceful state of affairs was ended and it was not expected that the Gazette would ever hear of it. However, a week after the occurrences narrated, and when everybody else had about forgotten the incident, the West Side man for the afternoon exponent of Philadelphia journalism i^appened to hear of it and broke loose. •A1lt is pertinent to ask," says he, taking a concluding drag at the Republican board "it is pertinent to ask how the county commissioners rented the property to such a disreputable lot of people." Well, it may be "pertinent" to ask such a question, but nobody except a Gazette reporter would be likely to do it. A man of Just ordinary stupidity would know without asking any questions that the county commissioners would not rent a building to prostitutes and pimps.

But the Gazette must be borne with it is a childish old poke. The simple trui'ii about the supposed scandal is that the commissioners rented the building to a man whom they supposed reputable and he in turn allowed the slimy blacks to get into the upper rooms.

IN THE COURTS OF EUROPE.

Behind the Scenes With the Nobility of the Old World. While Humbert was absent with his troops »t Verona, Queen Margherita induced Duchess Helene of Aosta to stay with her at Venice during the duke's absence at Stockholm, and her majesty has exerted herself to the utmost to reconcile the lovely Helene to her lot, making much of her and petting her to an extent to which this French princess has not been accustomed since she contracted her unhappy marriage, says the itarquise de Fontenoy in the Chicago Record. Indeed, she has been somewhat neglected until now by Humbert and by his G^nsort, owing to her reluctance, on religious grounds, to stay at Rome. When the 1/alian crown prince married, and she was thus deprived not only of her rank as second lady in the land, but also of her prospects of becoming queen of Italy, the cup of bitterness was filled to overflowing, and she determined to leave her husband—one .Of the best-looking, but most thoroughly illconditioned princes of Europe, being illtempered, ill-mannered and without the slightest ideas of courtesy due to a woman, of of the obligations of fidelity toward a young and lovely wife.

Twice already has the duchess left Italy, vowing never to return, and it has only been with the utmost difficulty that Duchess Helene was induced to return. She could not have found any one better qualified to give her both sensible advice and sympathy than Queen Margherita, the early years of whose married life were rendered so intolerable by her husband's intrigues.

A great outcry is being raised at Paris over the announcement that henceforth the president of the French republic is to have a personal standard or flag of his own, which will be raised over the roof of every palace or house where he happens to be staying, and which at all reviews, military parades and analogous functions at which he appears in an official capacity, will be carried before him by a mounted trooper, in order to indicate his presence. Both the ultra-republi-can press and the royalist newspapers on the banks of the Seine point out that in so doing the president will be approaching one more of those

many

prerogatives of mon­

archy by which the chief magistracy of France gradually is becoming hedged, and it is alleged that ever since Felix Faure's return from Russia he has had the imperial bee humming in his bonnet.

Strangely enough King Humbert has just been doing the same thing—that is to say, adopting a personal standard of his own, having been until now the only sovereign In Europe without a distinctive emblem of that kind. While In Germany attending the maneuvers of the army of Emperor William as the latter's guest, he observed that the emperor was accompanied everywhere on the mimic battlefields by a colossal cuirassier, who bore aloft a dainty silk flag, which indicated to every one the presence of the kaiser. Immediately on hi* ieturn to Italy King Humbert determined to adopt the same kind of practice, for himself, and caused to be made a very pretty flag of light blue sillt, on which is emblazoned the eagle of Savoy with a cross hanging to its breast and surrouned by the odd-looking collar of the Order of the Annunciation. Throughout the maneuvers at Verona it was borne before the king by one of those magnificent cuirassiers, of whom his bodyguard is composed.

It is very evident that Emperor William considers himself above the law, for although it was he who secured the enactment of the Sunday rest laws, which forbids not only the labor and trade but even all kinds of sports and amusements, such as shooting. dancing, skittles, bowls, etc., on Sunday, yet he himself pays no attention to

these statutes and recently .has hieen entertaintaining large shooting parlies" at Rominten for battues oh Sunday '1 For this he has now been taken to task by the evangelical consistory of the province in .which Rominten is located, and which,

(with

a some­

what novel and significant spjrlt of independence, has passed a vote of censure against him.

Moreover, at the very frioment when the governor of the province of Westphalia, who is a strict sabbatharian, finding that the Sunday laws were not being obeyed, was issuing a proclamation recalling the pains and penalties for those who shoot, dance, buy, sell or indulge in any kind of recreation on Sunday, the newspapers were describing the various phases of the shooting party which Emepror Francis Joseph had been giving on the previous Sunday in honor of the kaiser. Indeed, the governor's proclamation and the description of the imperial shoot at Totis, in Hungary, appeared in parallel columns in the west German papers.

I may add that these laws are thoroughly obnoxious to the majority of Germans, who from time out of mind have looked upod Sunday not so much as a day of prayer as one of recreation. One of the strongest opponents of these Sunday laws was the present chancellor, Prince Hohenlobe, who denounced them in conversation as a gross infringement of the rights of a Germac citizen and growled that he supposed that the next thing the police would be doing would be officially to visit his kitchen for the purpose of taking official note of what was being cooked for his dinner.

Worthy of special attention art the persistent attempts which are being made to place Emepror William in a pleasing, light before the French people by means of the Parisian press, a large number of the editors and writers of which are of German nationality, although the fact sometimes is concealed by means of a French name. Thus, just at present, certain of the papers of Paris are publishing a ridiculous story to the effect that it was Emperor William's intervention alone which prevented Great Britain from suddenly declaring war against France in 1893. apropos of the Siam difficulty. A graphic description is given of the manner in which the emperor dashed his napkin on the table at the banquet of the royal yacht squadron at Cowes and hurried off to the presence of the queen at Osborne to protest against the action taken toward France by the Rosebery cabinet. It is hardly necessary to point out that it was not the Rosebery cabinet, but the Gladstone administration which was then in power, and that the only acute stage of the diplomatic controversy. between England and France came fully ten weeks after the kaiser had left Cowes.

Novelist W. D. Howells. who is now in Paris homeward bound from a German tour, said the other day: "1 think in Holland you feel the atmosphere of a former republic. The Dutch seem a very free people, and England excepted, I think one feels more at home there than ony other country in Europe.''

General Cassius M. Clay, whose marriage at 'the age of 80 to a blooming young bride was recorded some time ago, is renewing bis youth by having a cataract removfd from his eyes.

Some one has found out that "Tim" Campbell's famous retort, "Pshaw, what's the constitution between friends!" was anticipated 200 ye^rs ago, by no less dignified a personage than John Selden, the witty and learned English lawyer. His version reads: 'The hiu« of commons is called the lower house in twenty acts of parliament, but what's twenty acts of parliament among friends?"

WORK IN LITERATURE

IT IS BEING DONK BY THE TUKSDAY LITERARY CLUB.

Next tsar the Club Will Stndy th» Historical Novel Under the Direction of Mrs. Davidson.

This is the seventh year of the existent of the Tuesday Literary Clui of this city. During that time the soc'fty has giveu ic« attention principally to En»!ish and American literature. It s'.udied English history for a time and gaze oue year to tlio World's Fair. Six months of the latter tvvs •l"vt.terl to looking forwird and tha remaining *Ix months to look'.us backwarl. This yeai was much enj.iyr3 by tnc member.7 anl profited them a gr.^t deal. It ga4-* tfceui much deeper and more lasting understanding of the great show at Chicago than thej otherwise could have got.

At present the club is engaged on what it designates "a continuation of the study of English literature."
