TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9,1890.

The Republicans were evidently present and voting in Maine yesterday. Rkei bad a quorum in bia district yesterday by a big majority.

Tim is an "off" year in politics bat it Beems tbe Republicans are away "on" top in Maine.

Wait till the West is heard from. Then reform of the tariff will be put to a practical tost.

Now that Speaker Reed has doubled his majority, tbe question arises, which is the greater man with his party, Reed or Blaine?

Tub Express encountered Mr. King in caucus. It baa preserved a dignified silence since the meeting Sunday night. The Express knows better than to monkey a second time with a buzz-saw.

Tub Morning Misinformed was repreresented at tbe caucus wHich attempted to muzzle Councilman King, and engaged in the effort to convince him that he should vote with his party. The caucus muzzled the party organ it could not make a tool out of the self respecting representative from the Second ward.

THE

Morning Misinformed, the.second cl«.,lr awl dav after the Law and Order meeting was (j^pasture altogether respens hie lor the generally bad

day after the Law and Order meeting was held, comes to the front with a second publication of Colonel li. W. Thompson's speech. It says in it's headline that "the general feeling was that individual reform was demanded." The Misinformed was ruled by the caucus which endeavored to control Mr. King. It is propable that a caucus was b*j'd and the paper charged with instructions to follow this tack. Nothing more could be expected of a paper that favored the suppression of gambling and advocated the all-night and Sunday saloon. "^Councilman

King

struck a popular

chord ia his address for tho enforcement of the law. Those who read his remarks in The News of last evening could not fail to be impressed with the arguments which were used. The "politicians so called," aa Mr. King puts it, were not pleased with the addross. This was not to be expected. They are intolerent and maiutain that a man must subserve bis party rather than his convictions. If a mau dare assert his independence ho is condemned. However, lb© voters are impatient under machine and caucus rule and it ia not surprising to find that Councilman King has endorsement from all quarters.

Conouersman Boooksiure should be more guarded in making his assertions regarding the tariff, using tbe price paid labor a basis. In his speech at Brazil last night he said that hoop iron that could be purchased for $1 in England would cost the consumer $2.03 in this country, because of the tariff of $1.03 on such iron manufactures He attempted to make his point more effective by stating that, if a man earned $1 per day, he would be required to work an extra day in order to pay the tariff on that iron. l4ibor in the Eighth Congressional district commands more compensation than a dollar a day. The Congressman used the statements for the sake of argument, but such argument is not worthy of a political speaker when it attributes $1 as the price paid to labor. In this day and age of the world, labor should receive living wages and 100 cents per day will not provide any too well for the necessities of a family, saying nothing of little luxuries which tend to make If© more bearable.

Si'kakkk Rkkd won a magnificent victory yesterday. That he should be returned to the house by an increased major! to is an hooof to turn and to bia bull* dosing tactics. However, the fact cannot be evaded, that the speaker won a signal victory. The campaign was one in which there wi national interest. Isadora of the Republican party lent their assistance to tbe campaign. The result shows effective work. The election may be significant in tbe Ecst, yet In the groat West the tariff question still remains to be tested. Tho Reed and McKinley idea of tariff, it is not sate to predict, will receive such endorsement from tbeagricuK

HERE AND THERE.

•There is no use talking," exclaimed a certain busy housewife last night,' these dairymen are making up their cost oi license on consumers with a vengeance that is startling. Wby, I twed to get twenty quart tickete for$l right along. When the license ordinance went into effect then the milkmen organized and provided that a fine should be imposed on any one of their number who should give over sixteen quarts for $1. .Now that was all right, but when they go still further and adopt a standard quart measure which holds just exactly and only milk enough to fill a pint cup (and I mean a cup which holds exactly one pint) it is time for consumers to organize. I took occasion this evening to measure a pint of milk received from my dairyman, and in a cup that is standard it made exactly one-half pint. The dairyman bag a right, I suppose, to chaw fi for a pint of milk, but if

be gets

his dollar

the consumer should rea-ive an b°Q^ pint, and if the milk dealer fails to give the monev's worth as he professes, he is simply a swindler, nothing

more

less, and tb§ law should reach out and punish him as it does any other person who stoops to frand

A Nbws reporter, in company with an officer, recently run tbe gauntlet of a thousand pestilential vapors" and passed through tbe alley extending all the way from Third street West to first street and between Main and Cherry streets. A rigid examination of garbage barrels and back yards was made, and the result was a sickening realization, impressed upon the mind with emphasis through the senses of sight and smell, that tbe board of health, the sanitary officer, his assistant or somebody had been outrageously direlect in tbe performance of a vitally important duty. Filthy and pestiferous garbage barrels filled almost to tbe rim, were giving off their death dealing odors. Seyera} rotten receptacles for Blop and kitchen offal had been overturned and the contents, scattered on the ground smelled to high Heaven. In the yard of the old St. Olair flats was a bitr barrel half sunken in the ground which Jjad not been emptied of its filthy contents, already moulded and festerioir, for one whoio Weep, further on westward tbrjugh the alley the condition of things was no better even worse. With the eingle exception of the yard in the rear of Barney Gregg's falnoii (which wa-i scrupulously clean) there was apparently a marled indifference on the ,/art of the householders a* to

tary condition of the city. One verv

marked

cause may

I

directly tr.u:e! down to the foolish act oi withdrawing Barney Dougherty from the sanitary force to which be was assigned exclusively, putting him to work in a patrol district »»d thus leaving toe sanitary inspection of the entire city to two men when, as a matter of fact, there should be not less than four men constantly employed in the arduous and ex_ tended labor of forcing indifferent and careless persons to keep their premises in a cleanly and healthy condition. It is time to draw the line. Somebody is responsible for a desperately poor condition of the city and that somebody should be brought up with a sudden jerk and made to account for their outrageous neglect of duty.

Tho Art of Feeding Horses. An English veterinary surgeon recommends that those who have charge of horses should bo taught that the stomach of a horse is not like the rumen of A cow, a mere receptacle for food, but an essential organ of digestion for a limited capacity, which does not need to be crammed in order to perform its proper functions, and that it cannot be so treats ed without danger to the animal and that tho teeth of the horse are provided for the purpose of masticating tho food, and that tho food .which does not require mastication should be sparingly, if ever used. He further recommends that no horse bo put to work immediately after a full meal, and when a horse lias dons a heavy day's work it should be allowed to stand in tho stable until it is cool and comfortable beforo being fed. A little water may be given, and if a little good hay be put into the rack it will occupy his attention, and besides requiring proper mastication will further have tho effect to slightly stimulate the stomach to secretion, and prepare it for the reception of the feed which is to follow. Should a horse require more food than usual to supply the extra waste of tissue caused by hard work, give it by all means, biit let it be in excess in its albuminoids, and let the horse be fed oftener and not increased quantities at a time,—Horse and Stable.

Bjr Ilaumior and Hand All Arts Doe Stand. The Blacksmiths' cup, which formerly belonged to the Blacksmiths' company, of England, was »tall cup of silver 11£ inches high, without a cover, the bowl engraved with the arms of tbe Blacksmiths' company and decorated with tooled granulated ornaments, the stem formed aa a figure of Vulcan standing by his anvil, on which is engraved the motto, "By hammer and band all arte doe stand," and round tbe brim inscribed, "The gift of Christopher Pym, upon his admission to the place of clerk of this company Tbe hall mark upon it is of 1635.

The cup was in the famous collection of Ralph Bernal, mid afterward passed into that of Mr. Dexter, and is described and engraved in Grippe' "Old English Plate." It weighs 80 ounces 4 pennyweights. It w*a recently sold and brought £533. When eold in tie Bernal collection in 1885 it was bought for £87 10 shillings by Gen. Lygon, who sold it to Mr. Dexter for £25, but in Mr. Dexter's sale, in 1873, it sold for £807 10 shillings.—Jew elexs' Weekly.

eleven

o'clock 8 ha jthe next ^morning

Martin

the detective arrived at Rush's lodgings. Hisappearance surprised Rush. He had expected to see a ferret eyed, bill dressed man, with short cut side whiskers and shorter hair—a veritable Sergt.

Bucket instead of* which he saw

a tall, slim man, with a delicate, foreign looking face, finely cut features, pale complexion, surling black hair, well kept beard and mustache, and large eyes with drooping lids—altogether a well dressed, fine looking fellow. Rush could hardly believe that he was the detective, but soon found out that he was, and they began at once to plan out a course of action. Martin had never seen the alleged murderer of Rose Elffington, but had a careful description of him, knew that his name was Costello, and that he was mixed up with mediums and freethinkers. This was clew enough for him. The man who had given him this information had been called out west on business, but wrote that he hoped to return in ti:ne to take a hand in the hunt.

Rush and t!u detectives vfsited all the mediums, astrologers and fortunetellers in New York in the course of a fortnight. They held conversations with the spirits of departed friends, had their horoscopes cast and their fortunes told. The detective palmed himself off as a medium, and exhibited thorough an acquaintance witl) the slang of the profession that Rush I1 suspicion he pust have practiced il (irtj some timo in his life.

One day Martin received a letter from their informant in the west telling them that he had heard of Costello being at a certain medium's on East Fourth street, and advising them to watch the place with the greatest vigilance. After this letter of information Martin and Rush walked over to East Fourth street, where on the front door post of No. they found this legend painted in white letters o» a black square of tin:

MAn 4 My. FANNY. COUNTESS DE PABI&

7i

CNEQUALED SPIRIT QUIDS

UNITES THE SEPARATED.

FRONT PARLOR DAJL7.

Martin found the janitress, and at once secured the back parlor of this miserable tenement, which was connected by folding doors with Mme. Fanny's front parlor. The two men had got themselves up to look like very disreputable fellows —Rush like a Bowery boy and Martin like a Spiritualist. Tho tatter's pale face and inky beard, and the peculiar expression of his eyes, helped him to carry out this disguise and he parted his rather long hair in tho middle, and wore a coat with a cape, and a big soft black hat. Rush could hardly contain himself when ho talked to tho mediums about the "control," fell into apparent trances and spouted the greatest lot of rubbish, ail of which was listened to with delighted ears, particularly by tho novices. The old hands knew it was only acting, just as their "trances" were acting.

In their back parlor Martin and Rush spent many long hours, the former beguiling tho time by telling thrilling stories of his detective work. He had had some wonderful adventures, and he sometimes named names when ho was telling them, names that were well known in New York, but about which few people knew that there were any suspicious circumstances.

Rush and Martin visited "Madame Fanny, Countesse de Paris," one day, to get a look at her room and see how the communicating door was fastened. It was not a very secure fastening—a bit of string tied around the two handles. A (harp knife dexterously thrust through the crack would easily cut the string, and the ill hung doors would roll open of their own weight. On the day of their visit to tho "countess," Martin introduced Rush as a young man who had been robbed of his watch in.the Bowery. It was a valuable one, and he hoped die would be able to tell him where to find it. As an inspiration to her trance, Mme. Fanny demanded a fee of one dollar in advance and then, talcing her seat in a shabby stuffed chair, she closed her eyes and waited for the trance.

The men seated themselves on an equally shabby sofa, and Rush watched the medium as she lay back with her eyes dosed. She was thin and pale, with sharp features and hair that had been toqehed up with dye and that waa still in curl papers. She wore a soiled wrapper, and the slippers on

her

feet had evi­

dently seen better days. Mme. Fanny herself looked as if she might have once been pretty. That she thought something of her appearance was seen by the attempt to take care of her hands. Her were not over clean, but tfac| were long and carefully trimmed, and Ser fin"gets, though thin, were well shaped.

By the time Ruali had made this taental Inveotoiy of her personal charms Fanny heaved a deep sigh and her lips moved. "Me see watch—pretty watch—

tfck—tieky—tick—gold watch. "gold watch and gold face, and fob

Yes," said

chain—watch with i«hain "Such a pretty watch! Numbers ia soM, too," she oootisaed, aot noticing 2fteta*errigXfca. -Pretty chain! see pretty things hanging on chain. Oh, he take "oo wfftch. 15»ere itkfk Thinetti^is hanging cut in frcet.\Old man ^bwrncee.

IS®

He got watch." Then, Bhuddering from head to foot, Mme. Fanny opened her eyes and looked around her. "Did you get the desired information?" she asked. "Yes," replied Rush "a little lisping child told us that the watch was a gold watch that I had been robbed of it and that the thief had taken it to a pawnbroker's." ,, "The 'control' is little Mamie die always tells these things correctly. If you search the pawnshops you will find your watch." Rush thanked her for her information and the two men retired to their room. "Did you ever hear such a pack of lies in your life?" said Rush, as the door closed behind them. "Hush! you will be heard," answered tbe detective. "Yes, of course I have, often, from tbe same class of people." "And to think that they can get any person to believe in them!" "I am not surprised that they can dupe tbe lower classes-rthe poor ignorant creatures that infest this1 neighborhood but they succeed in getting a presumably respectable, intelligent lot of patrons. Didn't you notice that nice looking turnout a few doors below here yesterday? Well, I saw a handsomely dressed woman, heavily veiled, get out of that carriage and come in here to Mme. Fanny's. She probably listened to just such drivel as you heard In there just now only, of course, it was about a love affair and she went home satisfied. It is a credulous world." "Yes, credulous where it should be suspicious and suspicious where it shquld be predulous," answered Rush.

While Rush was doing this detective work he was almost isolated from general society. There was some excitement to be got out of it, but lie and Martin were rather holding back until the arrival of the man Johnson from the west. Martin thought and expressed his suspicions to Rush, that Johnson bad been in love with Rose Effington, and had been cut put by Costello, who was reported to have strange fascinations for women. Johnson had not the time or tbe money to spend in ferreting out tho proofs of his suspicions, and was obliged to take The Dawn into his confidence. He bad not seen Costello many times, and although he declared that he would know him again if he saw him, he felt surer of recognizing him by his voice, which he said was indescribable, but peculiar and never toMbe forgotten.

Rush longedj^gie Helen with an irresistible longing, to which he gave way one evening. Leaving Martin on watch, be went to his lodgings first and dressed himself, and then walked around to the Academy. The opera was "Faust," again. Helen sang divinely. Rush adored every note of that beautiful music, and be was lifted out of himself by Helen's exquisite performance. Marguerite was admitted to bo her best part, and she certainly gave an ideal interpretation of it Dear girl, how ho loved her! He forgot the tenor, who was acting in his most impassioned manner he forgot everything but Helen and when she appeared at tbe window in a flood of moonlight, her dark eyes intensified by her golden hair, and sang the exquisite duet, he actually weighed in his mind tho probable result if be should clamber over the foot lights and fold lier in bis arms. "Here I sit," he thought, "a passion of love tearing me in two and yet I suppose 1 look as calm and as unruffled as that venerable banker in his box."

His only relief was to join in tho outburst of applause that broke from all parts of the house. He never liked to go behind tho scenes between the acts when Helen was singing "Faust," because she was so absorbed in the part that he felt it was profanation to bring her out of it so he wandered about tbe lobby, hoping that he might meet some one whom ho know and who knew ber. He did meet some one very soon. West Hastings was out there, looking very blase, and talking with two or three dub friends about his projected trip abroad and the good time he intended to have. Then he came across Mr. Archer, who insisted upon his going up to the box. "Bessie has that O'Hara there, and he bores the life out of me with his insufferable affectations. I don't like the man, and yet I have no right to take so violent prejudi against Uim. It would be a great relief to me, however, if you should come up, and I know Bessie would be glad to see vou. We haven't seen you for a long times, What has been the matter?*' Mr. Archer asked, as be conducted Rush to his box

Rush explained that lie was working up a special case for The Dawn and was unusually busy. As they neared tbe box, they saw O'Hara bending

low

over

Bessie from his seat above. They could almost see the pupils of his cat like eyes dilate as he talked to her in his slow, peculiar voice. Mrs. Archer looked at him and shuddered. She could only catch a word of his conversation now and then, and that more than satisfied her. He was talking uponP a subject she disliked. "Whether one believes in spiritualism or not," O'Hara was saying, "he must admit that there are some wonderful things done in its name- I should like you to meet a little woman down town —a medium, 1 suppose she calls bersdt She would tell you things that would set you to thinking. If you want to make an appointment to meet ber, I will arrange the meeting, sad get Mis. Pryor to chaperon us. It's not an attractive place, but is perfectly reputable or you may be vara I shouldn't suggest your going there,"

All this was (aid in a low voice, so that Mia. Archer did

not catch

enough of the

conversation to know what it was about Hadabe known, sha would have spoken out plainly. O'Hara seemed to speak behind his fcop^ue, and it wa«i qufie difficult to understand him antes* yea gave your ain4 to^ ihe dlort. lifts impedi1M, i* impekrae* it eooU be called, made him apeakfeowly, anfi P& *&"'

ness gave a certain impressiveness to the simplest remark he made. Mrs, Archer greeted Rush with the greatest cordiality. Ho seemed like a whiff of fresh country air after a breeze from Hunter's Point. Bessie also was pleased to see him. Though she was very much interested in what O'Hara was saying, she found the man rather oppressive, and there was something about his dilated pupils that she didn't altogether like.

When Rush entered tbe box, O'Hara went out, and Mrs. Archer seemed to breathe more freely. Tho conversation was lively and general until the curtain was rung up again. Then they listened with breathless, interest to the beautiful music. Rush could not help contrasting his present surroundings with those of a few hours before and a few hours hence. On every sideof liini were youth, beauty, refinement and wealth. The woman he adored was before his eyes, singing as no one else could sing. "Oh. to soo her, hear ber staging.

Scarce I know which ia divlnest,"

quoted Rush. Then his thoughts wandered back to tho miserablo tenement in East Fourth street where he was to spend the night, with poverty, wretchedness and crime on every side, and ho himself on the track of a murderer. The Bfe of a journalist has variety in it, if nothing el$e. Then -ho lookod about liiui, at tJie "glittering horseshoe the delicate perfume of tho flowers that lay upon tho railing of the boxes was wafted to his nostrils, and he was intoxicated by the scene. His reverie was broken in upon by Mr. Archer, who tapped liini on the shoulder. "Just look at West Hastings," said he. "That fellow is more in love with Helen than I gave him credit for being. He has not taken his eyes off ber once since she came upon the stage."

Sure enough, there he sat in his proscenium box, alone, his eyes riveted on the lovely face of Helen Knowlton and his ears drinking in every note of her voice. This was not a pleasant sight to Rush, and it sent him back to his tenement house watch in no happy frame of mind. But hi3 work grew more interesting as time went on, and he soon became completely absorbed in picking up the threads of evidence against the mm*derer of the unfortunate actress

CHAPTER XV.

1

O N Hurlstone was very much disturbed in his mind. He was in love with Leoni the dancer, a

had promised to marry Ainy Bavliss, the rector's daughter. li, worst of it was that ho was ypry fond pf Amy,ana he [did not want to treat her unkindly. But he was determined

..

to marry Leoni. On that point he was strong though on most others ho was weak. Ho would still let Amy believe tha{ they were to bo niarried in the, fall. f*erbaps in tho meantime hei could think of a good excuse for breaking off tho match. He might pretend to be. jealous—to believe that slie didn't love him. Not only was John disturbed on this account, bu^ tbe state of affairs of tho Mutual Dividend Mining company did not tend to make him happy. Col. Mortimer was drinking heavily and playing high—two sure signs that he was losing faith in the continued prosperity of the company, and there were some ugly rumors afloat that reflected upon tho company's credii

John, too, feared a day of reckoning, and he followed tho example of hiscliief in the matter of drinking and high play. His letters to Amy became less frequent, and his visits to Leoni more so, Ho was, infatuated by the Italian's beauty and her passionate love for him, and ho could not keep away from her. Two or three times he had gone to see her while feeling the worse for liquor. Sh,e was terribly shocked but be explained the circumstance as an accident, an4 sho wgs quite willing to accepi the explanation. One day, after a

matinee,Joe

called for

her at tho stage door of thd Academy to take her homo in his carriage. She refused to go with him at first, because her mother was not with her but John argued so eloquently that she yielded. Were they not engaged to be married? Indeed, they wero really aa good as husband and wife. It waa only a question of a few words of ceremony. Moreover, he had something rf great importance to s%y to her, §nd ha must say it to her alone.

So Leoni got into tho carriaga John spoke a few words in a low tone to his Italian valet, who sat on the box with the coachman, and sprang into the carriage, shutting the door after him with a bang of victory. As the horses dashed up the street he took Leoni's hand and kissed it deferentially, and held it in his own while he talked to her as he could so well talk to women. John had beep drinking, but not heavily, and not enough for Leoni to notice only enough to make him determined to accomplish his object, to which end he brought all Ms eloquence to bear. He told Leoni the story of his kve for her—a story she never tired of hearing: and then he asked her if die really loved him. Her wards were few, but their emphasis and tbe look in her eyes satisfied him. Then to told her that lie was going to pot ber love to tho test—that he waa going to ask ber to marry him, and to marry him that vety afternoon. Circumstances which be would explain to ber some day made it necessary for their marriage to

^Ifheamld have be wtfmid like it to be proclaimed from tbe house tops and cried through tbe streets. He was proud of his love, and he wanted the world to know of it, but adverse fate jvould have it otherwise. If they were to be married at all, it must be privately. Leoni face grew pale at tbe "if," and she pressed John's band that held hen with an energy that gave "I was so sure that yap would say yes, darling, that I brought this ring, and I have ordered tbe coachman to drive us to tho house of a rentable clergyman, who will perform oereanouy as ft should be performed, making thee mine and roe thine beyood filled

One of the most dangerous and unpleasant evidences of the existence of hereditary scrofula is glandular swellings and painful ulcers which accompany it and render life a burden to the sufforar and to those about him. Sore eyes, scabs on the head, pimples on the face, salt rheum* and the like, are all caused by impure blood. There is but one way to banish ^"these offensive symptoms, and that is by the use of tried and trusted remedies to strike at the root of the trouble. Dr. Cobb's Vegetable
