Wnx rclice board overlook gambling? 8u±/ 'P tendent Da*is has utterly failed to suppress it. He has violated hia instructions. What action will the palico cotntniwioners take?

The difference between the old election law and the new ia that it required "atampa" of the boodle variety to carry on election under tbe former and stamps on the ticket now to el«ct men to office,

Ex-Postmaster General Clarkson says tho man does not live who would refuse tho presidential nomination, and that if Mr. Blaine were tendered it he would undoubtedly accept. I, Mr. Clarkson, would not refuse.

Wiu, the Express join Tub News in a fight for the suppression of gambling? Tiik Newh' morning contemporary is presumably against gambling. The present affords an opportunity for tho demonstration of its sincerity in advocating the closing of gaming room*.

CongKaea has adjourned at last. The crowning act was the passage of tho MeKinley tariff bill, a meaiure unjust in many particulars, one that offers protection where it is not needed. The rushing through of tho measure in the closing hours was characteristic*of the session's work. The tariff bill bad to be passed and passed it was. The country will now be relieved, at least for a short time of the work of congress

There Is a purpose on the part of some of tho niombors ot tho council to change tbe contract with th» water works, whareby tho council may lo o*H«r woi^« It J« proponed that the company be made the victim ot tho caprice, or worse, of tho crank or corruptlonlst once a year.—Morning Misinformed.

Will Tun News contemporary advocate the binding of the city under a thirty-one years' contract with the water works monopoly? Will it uphold the extortionate charges which have been made? That the compauy is desirous of continuing ne^ler tho present contract is not to be wondered at. It realizes that eorao sacrifices can be made in order to obligate the city as a patron for tho next third of a century. The fact of the mattor is, tho contract is valuable one—valuable because it plaoe§ tho city in the grip of the company fo" the next thirty-one years. It is absolutely necessary that readjustment of rates should take place every few years, A schedule that would be considered just to-day would not bo equitable five yeant hence. There is no occasion for tho establishment of a tariff that will continue over a period of thirty-one years. Annul the contract.

THE ADVANCE IN COAL.

The coal barons have advanced the price of coal. When patrons apply for a ton they are now informed that the price has advanced 10 ccnH per ton. When niked tho reason, the dealer simply says that the operator* pat up the price and that the retailer wsi forced into making a corresponding advance. The retail dealer is not to blame for the advance— tho operator is responsible. But has any increase in wages been granted to the miner? None whatever. He receive* the same for his work as before. He receives no benefit from the advance. The incroaw goes inf? the pockets ot the coal baron, and ot nobody else. He doe* not_share his profit* with his workmen unless ho is compelled to do m. It is just such combination^ for the purpose of forcing the consumer to pay extortionate prices that are a fruitful source of labor trouble#. When a miner teea the product advanced and no increase in wages it causes discontent. It is natural for him to demand better compensation for h» labor. When there Is no disposition shown on the pari of the operator to share? his profits with his men, there is just cause for a grievance, The employe objects to the employer enriching himself out of the fruit# of th* former*# toil. The consumer rebels against p*vin« exorbitant prices because he ia well aware that the man who digs the coal ia not to be benefited financially. There would be little complaint if the increase in price went into the pockets of the miner*. The public is weary of paying tribute lo corporations that fom a combine and pot up the price of commodities for their own individual benefit and the impoverishment of labor. The system is pernicious and sboukl be checked.

"If everybody followed my example," remarked an enthusiastic local temperance advocat?, "ever/ saloon would be closed before the end of the month," '•How's that?" asked a Weet Side law yer with mbicnnd face. "They would close from lack of patronage, sir. I never drink." •it see. I can go you one better, though. If everybody followed my ex ample every saloon "in the city would cloee before next Saturday night. "How's that?" asked the temperance advocate, eagerly. "They would run out of •'stock."

Joseph Blake, proprietor of the street car line running from the limits to the fair grounds, says that he was in a meas ure misrepresented by the statement recently published wherein he was de clared to be constitutionally opposed to policemen. "I am not unfavorably disposed toward members of the police force," said be to a Sews reporter "nor do I object to their riding on my cars free of charge, provided tbev have business where they are going. I? they have not I fail to see why I should consider it my duty to permit their gratuitous transportation Furthermore, if an officer is receiving the benefit of my generosity in that he is riding on my cars for nothing, I believe he should attempt to quell any disturbance that may am«*. This the gentlemen to whom I objected did not do. I think as much of any policeman as of any other individual, but submit that he should do his duty."

Judge Eggleston probably never devoted himself particularly to a study of the natural history of the animal kingdom—his profession would scarcely have permitted that—but he does pretend to possess an exceedingly profound knowledge of, and intimate acquaintance with the_goose. "Do you know," said he to a fellow lawyer yesterday, *'tliat oue goose may be readily distinguished from aHother?" "I know that I can tell a goose from a gander," responded the student of Black stone "but I know equally well thai ordinarily I could not distinguiih one gander from another or one goose from another." "It can be done," said the judge, decidedly. "Can you do it?" "It

One of tho warden?, who is au artist in his way, is illustrating the text. Eyraud has made a rough sketch indicating the relative positions of the victim, of himself and of Gabriells uipard, his accomplice and mistress. The latter is playfully putting the nooae around Goulfe's neck, while Eyraud is in the rear. Gabriella is living high in prison. Her meals, which are seut in from a restaurant in the Place St. Michael, by order of M. Garonger who brought her back from America, costing twenty francs a day. This includes a bottle'of champagne for her dinner, the prison rules allowing any kind of wine, and Madamoiselle Bompard finds that champagne takes away low apirits. Eyraud's food consists mostly of boiled beef and vegetables with half a pint of red wine with each meal, Tht trial of the couple has Iwen fixed for tho first week in November.

In the closing scene Mis* Mather stabbed herself with a dagger. She formerly used a triclc unrre wblch closed up when the blade struck, but it had been lost and a genuine dagger substituted. Mies Mather forgot about the change made and plunged the weapon into her side. She uttered a suppressed scream and fell, but finished her part aud dragged herself over to the body of her lover aa the curtain fell. An examination revealed the fact that, she had a narrow escape from serious if not fatal injury. The blade penetrated the clothing and coiaet, and struck the sixth rib about an inch below the heart, making a slight th»sh wound,

(Copyright. AU rights reserved.J CHAPTER VH. Two, years jwast 'l rapidly and Gunhar became proficient in English. He took a leesou of one ho.ir every evening from his landlady's daughter,-the charming Mathilda, who, when the student with tbe beer base had taken French leave (neglecting to settle his board bill), pitied the solitary young man from the backwoods, and taught him a variety of things besides English grammar. She was a curious mixture, this fascinating Mathilda, mid Gunmir, though not lacking in common sense, found himself unable to judge her. Two attributes, however, he learned to distinguish in her. He took her to be adorably simple and kind hearted and full of good impulses. But he could not deny that she was an outrageous flirt. He imagined, too, that she put up with him sometimes because she pitied his loneliness, and at other times for want of anybody more desireable. When you can't get tobacco to smoke, they say in Norway, moss is a fair substitute. Anything of the masculine gender was fair game for Mathilda, and her time hung heavily on her hands when no masculine creatures were about. Her mother affirmed that a flirtatious disposition was so deeply ingrained in her nature that it was useless to blame her for it. She had, the same authority asserted, winked at the doctor when she was born.

One would have supposed that Gun nar, armed with this knowledge, would have been proof against her blandish ments. But no knowledge is a protection against that kind of assaults. There was to him a delicious thrill of danger ill the situation which to her was entirely absent. She had seen more of the world than he, and sometimes, in order to tease him, gave him grandmotherly advice, She wormed his innocent secrets out of him, and obtained finally a confession of all liis misdeeds. He felt so desperately wicked in having won the love of Ingerid, and then spurned it, that it was a great relief to him to be able to call himself hard names in the presence of a sympathetic listener. He did not fail to perceive that Mathilda, while condemning his faithlessness, looked upon him with a livelier interest after this confidence, and he could not help feeling darkly heroic in the midst of all his wickedness.

What a lovely character, he argued, this gentle maiden must have to forgive all his past, and treat him with such kindness and sweet consideration. Why, knowing how disinterested she was, should he hold back from her his other and far more important secret? He had repeatedly hinted at it in her presence, and though her curiosity had been vaguely piqued she had failed to rise to •the occasion. She treated his mysterious allusions as if she only half believed them, and replied to his dark observations with an absent minded vi vacity which tried him sorely. He felt at last that his self respect compelled him to reveal the plot of which he was both victim and author. He was irritated beyond all endurance, and anticipated with a morbid satisfaction the sensation he would make when he should explode his bomb. But here ho was again destined to disappointment. The shrewd Mathilda betrayed no great astonishment. He saw by the glance she gave him from under her long lashes that die thought he was romancing, but was too considerate to tell him so. He had then no choice but to produce his proof, and when Mathilda finally had no choice but to believe him he could no longer charge her with indifference.

She betrayed an alacrity and an in dignation on his behalf which were extremely flattering. He felt with gratified vanity how immensely he had risen in her esteem. Unsophisticated though he was he observed that she dressed with more care for their lessons and exerted ail her arts to please in a way which formerly would never have occurred to her. It was an intoxication of bliss to sit at her side on her sofa, while her hair grassed his cheek and her hand sometimes by somo vagrant impulse stole into his, and her dark blue eyes suddenly flashed upon him a glance full of tender meaning. She could put on a look of such appealing innocence that Gunnar had to exert all his self restraint to keep himself within bounds. A wild desire seized him more than once to clasp her in his arms and cover her face with kisses, but at such moments his fancy would conjure up the sweet face of Ingerid with tearful eyes and lips quivering in infantine distress, and the sense of his own baseness would overwhelm him and sober his passion.

Gunnar saw Mr. Norman almost daily during these two years. He had an idea that Ills chief watched him, and during his constant unannounced rounds through the factory paid special attention to his work. He saw him frequently speak to the foreman of his division, and twice, after these conferences, Guncar was promoted aud his pay increased. When Mr. Norman addressed him, ho occasionally did. it was usually to ask him how he was getting on with his English. One day, when the had rung and nil the other hands were hurrying away. Gunnar was so engrossed in a delicate piece of work which had been intrusted to him that he could not tear himself away. Suddenly, as he looked up, he sa the chief riding with hia hands on his hack mirat him. As Gunnar paused, Mr. rr .-in took up the piece of metal at he had b«su filing and examined riucaJly. "Look here, Finn Varsko," isaid* "pan arc not a hod workman."

Gtmaar blushed with pleasure. He had never heard Mr. Norman praise any *me*befor?«

"Well, do as you like You may give me your answer to-morrow. When he gofc home that night Gunnar expected to bo praised for his(self denial in refusing tho rich man's invitation, for he hoped Mathildft would divcio that it was out of regard for her that he had foregone so great an advantage. But to his surprise the young lady called him a dunce, and told him, almost in so many words that in looking out for his own interest he also served hers. She felt apparently so sore of him that she was more than willing to run tho risk of separation. It was of herself she was in doubt but this doubt ho could easily dispel by a great stroke of business like the one which he had confided to her. By getting Mr. Norman in his power (of which he had a far better chance when living in his house) ho could make his everlasting fortune, and she hoped sincerely he would show that he had the grit of a man, and would allow no foolish mollicoddle sentiment to interfere with his plan. When he had ascertained beyond the shadow of doubt that Mr. Norman was the same as Hans Matson, then was his opportunity. He must then threaten disclosure and make the best terms possible for pledging himself to silence.

Be it said to the credit of our hero that he rebelled against this project. It was justice he wanted, justice for his deluded, sorrowing mother, who had been cheated out of her life's happiness by this man's duplicity and cruelty. To make money out of such a transaction seemed to him sordid, base, infamous. He came near quarreling outright with Mathilda, who with all her cleverness was not clever enough to discover that she had made a fatal mistake in affording him so deep a glimpse into her hard and mercenary little heart. She had to resort to tears and caresses in order to obliterate the impression, whereupon she overwhelmed him with reproaches for having thought her capable of the very schemo which she had a moment ago developed. And he, poor fellow, kissed her and begged her forgiveness for having misunderstood her and imagined that very likely his intellect was not sufficiently subtle to comprehend the fine gradations of meaning conveyed in this exquisite creature's speech. Ho was so preposterously happy at the privileges she now granted him that he could not have found it in his heart to blame her if 3he had proposed to him a systematic transgression of the ten commandments, beginning with the first and ending with the tenth.

After this delightful reconciliation Gunnar accepted Mr. Norman's offer and installed himself in two pleasant rooms overloolsing Lake Michigan. And Mathilda, who perhaps overestimated her hold upon his affections, resolved to postpone the execution of her plan until a more favorable moment.

All Furls Astonished.

A few ohoice, spirits in the Parisian fashionable world are wearing flannels, with straw hat and chamois leather shoes, in town this summer, just as they would at the seaside. The daring innovator who conceived this brilliant idea showed himself for the first time in tliis guise in the Jardin de Paris t\V£ weeks since, and was much complimented by his friends, who immediately made up their small minds to follow his lead. What fun for the street boys! The fin de siecles shame the women with their love for fine clothes. Colored coats have quite taken the place of blaclr for balls and parties with the younger members of the .community. The latest fashion in coats is olive green, with crimson facings.

But not content with getting themselves up like gaudy parrots or performing monkeys, they must do the clown also. Their coats are of one color and lined with another, and so made that they can bo turned inside out. In the middle of the evening, when the girls may possibly be tired (they think) of ad miring their faces or their green get-up. they disappear, turn their coate, and reappear in vieux rose or "Eiffel" red—a transformation which earns them the applause of their own clan, and a fresh batch of admiration from their partners —poor dears—who are so simple that they do not notice how much their own toilets lose by not having the usual black background.—Table, v,

Tho Robber's Dog Was Tagged. Chief of Police Speers received a letter from the chief of police at Kokomo, Ind., stating that a daring burglary had recently been committed in that town. The robbers who did the work, the letter stated, had a dog with them, and there was also a dog on the premises of the man whose house was burglarized. The two dogs got to fighting, and the robbers* was killed and its owners left its carcase in the yard where it felL

WEALTHY BUT INSANE. |gg

Millionaire Lebrnts'i Luxurious A partes cots lu liteomlagdala Asylum.

Descending to the first floor tho locked doors on the right of the parlor open upon the private suite of apartments occupied by the insane Chicago millionaire E. J. Lehman. Mr. Lehman was and is still the proprietor of the biggest retail dry goods store in Chicago.

Mr. Lehman is suffering from a form of paresis, and although he is but 43 years old there is not the slightest hope of his recovery. He lives like a king in his apartments, and his family pay for the luxuries with royal liberality.

He has three apartments, which occupy all the right side of the house on the lower floor. For these rooms and board alone he pays $150 a week. Then he has three special attendants who keep with him night and day. These cost $42 a week additional.

He keeps his horses and carriages and rides out once a day. One of the attendants does the driving, while the other two sit on either side of him. For the many other luxuries he enjoys Mr. Lehman pays out in all $400 a week. He pays more than any other inmate of the asylum.

While at times he is quiet and pleasant Mr. Lehman is one of the wildest men in the asylum when an insane fit strikes him. It is because of this that it is necessary to keep three attendants watching him. He has smashed thousands of dollars' worth of furniture since his incarceration. He is a tall, athletically built man, and is possessed of enormous strength when he becomes wild. Although his three attendants are all trained athletes they have great difficulty In holding him at times.

While he sleeps in one of the small rooms an attendant sits at his bedside and watches all night, while the other two sleep in the large room a few feet distant.

In addition to the usual iron gratings on the windows several strong bars have been placed. Several times a week the Chicago millionaire tries to break out of the rooms. He has almost wrenched the iron gratings from their places, and on one occasion almost succeeded in climbing up the wall to the glass transom above the top of the door and breaking through. To guard against a repetition of this the glass has been removed and wooden boards have been nailed in its place.

About once a month Mr. Lehman's wife comes on from Chicago to see her husband. Sometimes she brings one of her four children with her. She is not permitted to speak to him or allow him to see her.

While she stands in one part of the grounds he is driven past her in hi6 carriage, and in this way she is enabled to catch a brief glimpse of his face.

In his rational moments Mr. Lehman talks to his attendants about his wife and children. He says that he has the sweetest family in the world and that they all love him.

In his parlor Mr. Lehman has a handsomely carved organ. He is very fond of music and is a musician of no insignificant skill. Ho plays upon the organ at times half the day and completely enchants tho other inmates of the house.— New York Journal.

A Fortuno from Beans and Beef. Oliver Hitchcock, the Park row beans and beef man, has made more money from the sale of the two articles of diet mentioned than any man in the world. His fortune is estimated to be $750,000. He is said to own considerable stock in the New York Central railroad and to have a large sum invested in bonds and mortgages. He is a remarkably sturdy tnan for his age—he being 74 years old. Every day finds him behind his counter, at the corner of Beekman street, slicing the juicy cornbeef or ladling out the Boston vegetable. He works only four hours a day now.

Mr. Hitchcock began selling beef and beans forty years ago, and he has been at it continuously ever since. Somo of the moat famous newspaper men of New York city have dined at his humble restaurant. Horace Greeley was one of Hitchcock's regular customers. Hitchcock cannot remember"why he made a specialty of beef and beans, but he has tangible evidence that if these articles are properly cooked and decently served they will bring a handsome remuneration.—New York Journal.

Looking for Wealth.

The first question that an enterprising young immigrant asked at the barge office upon his arrival the other day was "Where is Gold street?" 'Silver street is a good deal nearer," answered a waggish officer.

But the young man had no interest iu silver. He wanted gold. When he was asked why he inquired for Gold street he assumed a mysterious air and declined to answer. The officer told him where the street was, and he went away satisfied. "Now, there's an instance of what they expect," observed the officer. "I suppose that young fellow thinks that all he has to do is to go to Gold street and fill his trunk with gold cobblestones.n

Electric Lights in a Theatre. An electrician who visited the Lyric theatre in London, xfhere a very complete electrical installation has been put in for theatrical purposes, says that the arrangetaents on the stage are perfect, and he has never seen any theatre in which the light from the battens can be varied both in intensity and color to so great an extent and with such ease. No limelights are Ttspd, the necessary effects being produced by portable arc lamps. There is not a single gas jet anywhere on or near the stagehand the plant has run for twenty-one months without toe slightest breakdown.—London Letter.
