THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1G95.

crsthirTj pot cf discontent as that brewed within the few hours that Intervened between the hour of recess of the convention an! the meeting of the various committees. Up to the hour of convening it was supposed that the plan of representation adopted by the Kings county people was the plan favored by the leaders, and would be adopted In the case of the New Yoric contest. But men with Tammany badges were showing discontent, and the result was that when the convention adjourned there was no certainty that there would be any acceptance of the plan. At t.ic head and front of the revolt against the plan favored by Senator Hill and exGovernor Flower were Senator Murphy. el-Polico Commissioner Martin. ex-Senator Grady, ex-Mayor Gilroj and Lieutenant Governor Sheehan. The latter was inclined to 1 conservative, and was strenuous in his denials of a story to the effect that at the meeting of the State committee, this morning, he had declared in the presence of Senator Hill that any man who voted for the admission of the State Democracy people waa a traitor to ' the Democracy. I never was before the committee," he said, "and never expressed my views except to Senator Hill personally. ' " MURPHY DIFFERS FROM JIILL. Dut Senator Murphy spoke differently. He said: "Senator Hill end those who favored the admission of these people are greatly in the- wrong. The proper place fov them to show their strength and fight their battle was In the primary. They were Invited to take part. They declined. They therefore have no standing here. I am op- " posed to admitting them. If they are good, conscientious Democrats, they will not vote ' against the Democratic ticket," Police Commissioner Martin had a talk with ex-Governor Flower thl3 afternoon, and some very hot words passed. Flower . was in favor of harmony at any cost, and Martin was Just as sure that-lhe State Democracy people should not be treated with, as they did not come regularly as contestants. The two leaders disagreed so badly that they lost their tempers and left each other without coming to a settlement. Martin went at once to the Vanderbilt Hotel and called a meeting of the Tammany committee. He presided himself, and upon motion, appointed a committee to appear before the committee on contested teats, and argue against any representation for the State Democracy. Th significant feature of this move was the fact that Thomas F. Grady, who is well known to be a deadly enemy of the State Democracy, iwas made chairman of the delegation. One of the significant features of the day "was the absence from the convention of very leader, except Roswell P. Flower. Senators Hi. 1. and .Murphy, did not come. Leaders Martin and -Grady, of Tammany, -were not there. John Boyd Thatcher waa at the Yates, in Mr. Hill s room, end exLieutenant. Governor Sheehan was at the room of Senator Murphy. Mr. Gilroy stayed with Senator Murphy for some time, -but as he had a resolution to present, he strolled Into the convention in the middle of Mr. Belmont's speech. r Another of the features of the day was the cutting by Mr. Belmont of thatipart of his speech denouncing third term presiden

tial aspirations. Some of the Tammanyites, wnw iihu prepareu 10 receive mis part or tne' tpeech with applause were disappointed. Referring- to the matter this evening, Mr. Belmont said: "My speech In general pointed to that Idea, butdld notdeem it wise to make any great move in criticising the administration's attitude In that direction; Personally, howtver, I am willing to be quoted as against a third term." The many booms for offices have been pushed this afternoon with a persistency that is amusing. There are at least a half dozen men who are sure of the nomination for Controller. General interest centered about 'the committee on resolutions, where the excise plank was being discussed In' executive session, and about the committee (on credentials, where the New York and other contests were to be decided. It was 'voted to reserve the -matter of the New York and Kings county contests until the tettlement'of the others. The chairman announced that the contests In the First, Second and Third districts of the county of Queens was before the committee. Senator Hill moved that the sitting delegates of three districts be declared entitled to their eats. The mo lion ,was adopted. , FAIRCHILD WAKES UP GRADY. m When the committee oncontests' tpok up tho New York Stato Democracy contest "Charles N. Falrchild spoke for the contestants. It had not been the purpose "of tho State Democracy, he said,-to fight for admission at this convention, but rather to abldo by the decision of last year's convention. The underlying principles of tho party were now in need of support and he would propose a plan for a proper dis tribution of party sentiment. The question for this committee to consider was whether the sentiment of their people was entitled to representation at party councils. Tho Democracy , did not care to' enter in any discussion of the merits and demerits of the Tammany Hall organization. It must be decided whether the principles represented by him were worthy of consideration as . against those of a political, macslne. ' . Mr. Thomas Grady, for tho, Tammanyites, said the independence insisted on by Mr. Falrchild only existed when tney were in the minority. "This . is not a contest as the term 19 commonly understood,", saud Mr. Grady. "It simply presents to the. 105 delegates of New "iork city the proposiuon tnat tney may nave ine state sirengin in return for representation." . This independent spirit worked vicious sometimes. Amos J. Cummlngs had been' nominated for Congress. He was a defender of the flag and had twice neipea m tne election or 1 Cleveland. The voto had been of the Independent sort and a man out of a Job had been elected. "They say we Tammany men corae here to have our Own way and to Insist upon discriminating representation," said the speaker, "but look at those inatajia nnu cvino iieij viamvun wr , tv.oirnUlO'n with the scalps of such men as Cummlngs in their belts. rirt r tft vone frnttttienrv" ! shouted , Mr. Grady, pointing his finger at Mr Fairchlli and Wheeler H. Peckham, yfor you have no right here. We must have one party organization that will stand by party decroer that. will support party tickets instead of an orzanlzation that seis up the clamor of -Individual JuJgments in defiance and demands fits recognition in party convention. . If you persist in the vcuree yz'Jt are now pursuing you will x bring perpetual disaster on the Democratic party. Stand by the expedient rules and principles of true Democracy. Stand together!" ho- shouted. "Stand for the. right ycur consciences speak for and we shall find IGJ.000 Democratic voters of New York city waiting patiently and untroubled for the decision .of th!s committee." A perfectly deafening roar of applause followed Mf. Grady's speech. The hearing was declare J closed and the committee went into executive session. . ANOTHER, nXCISK PLANK. nue Lunuimicc vu vuiutsieu scats was hearing the contests there was a curious cro;vd about tho door from where the platform committee was In session. When that committee was called to order at 8 o'clock it founi confronting it about twenty exeise propositions from as many sources. Very nearly all contained the lccal-option clause, however, and so the Tt.l.t1. il I .... A A. A . A teal question to decide waa Just what . plain and not excitable language the excise plank could be drafted in. Herman Ridder. of 'the Staats Zeltung. and chairman of the German Reform -Association, was the lest one to prepare a plank. It read like this: , v "The lmocra tic party, belnff, as It ever has been, strictly in favor of respectful observance of Sunday, especially abstaining on that day. from all save. necessary labor and vocations, and yet mindful of the right of every citizen to the enjoyment of worship and comforts of recreation according to his own conscience and wishes, as far as compatible with due regard to the be- . lieTa ahd desires of others, we promise to endeavor to obtain from the coming Legislature a law which will enable each community to determine for itself by popular vote whether the pale of food, beverages and other necessaries shall beipermitted on the first day of tho week during certain hours and In a manner so restricted as not to interfere with religious observance, to be specified by statute." John R. Fellows, of New York, argued in favcr cf the plank that would favor abol ishing the prerent excise laws and substituting new ones that would be modern in tone and for the age in whleh we live, and not for- the dark ages. Then Governor Flower took a hand, and In a few and forcible remarks told his views In favor of liberality. The plank asked for by the Germans, he thought., met the requirements. Sunday was for the rich as well as the poor. The session of the committee, which was strictly executive, lasted until late in the night. The German plank and a substitute were voted lvwn . and after the majority of the delegates had decided that the Ger- , man reform plank in substance, with difit rent phraseology, should be inserted, a fpecial committee conslsiing of Messrs Hulzrr, Flower. Lynn. Sheppard and Lockwood was appointed to draft a plank. The committeeman credentials adopted a rtrolution by a vote of 22 to 17, making the r "recantation four-fifths of a vote for Tzrzrriy Hall and one-fifth for the State Jiz-zttrzcy. Jude Patterson, of XJrooklyn, 17 c:rrd a resolution, givlnj the State

Democracy a one-third representation. - A ote was taken and resulted, yeas 13, nays 33. The resolution adopted declares the Tammany Hall organization regular and entitled to scats in the convention and entitled to recognition at all future conventions as regular, its delegates are to be placed upon the. preliminary roll. They are to be the sole users of the party colors and emblem. In all contests that may arise Tammany Is to be treated as the party organization. But in. the interest of harmony the committee accords a onefifth vote to the contestants and four-fifths to Tammany. It is understood at this late hour that there will be a further conference prior to the convention to-morrow.

The Platform. Following is the platform, so far as adopted by the committee to-night: "We hold that self-government Is the foundation principle of American liberty and of a true Democracy. We therefore oppose paternalism, socialism and the control of cne class by another. Each citizen has the right to order his own life,' provided he respect3 the rights of others of the commonweal, voiced in Just laws, and each community must maintain the same rltfht as the charter of its political wellbeing. , ' , '"We believe that , the political '.Ife of New York itate will be made healthier if our State officers and legislators shall honestly and competently govern the State rather than to strive to rule the nitlon or to administer the cities. We. therefore, uphold home rule for cities and other local communities throughout the State. "We advise voters to scrutinize most carefully the character, record and political opinions of candiJates for the State Senate and Assembly, and thus liberate our great State from such silent, secret and sinister Influences as dominated the . Legislature of 1&9T,. , "We affirm that self-government and heme rule In cities involve local option In excise and other regulations which require local public sentiment far their fair enforcement. The Republican policy of ruling New York and other great cities from Albany has utterly failed; It has corrupted the Legislature and demoralized the cities; its sole defense of uniformity of law throughout the State falls before the ridiculous fact that it is to-day a1 crime to sell a drink, but not a crime to shave at one end of the Brooklyn bridge, and a crime to shave, but not a crime to sell a drink at the other. - . "The Democratic party does not waver' In Its. hostility to. sumptuary legislation and to every interferance of the majority, however, benevolent or exalted their motive, with personal liberty, except when necessary to 'secure public order, or decency or the equal rights of citizens. To the liquor business, as to many lawful businesses, are applicable special considerations of public safety, order and quiet. We recognize, therefore, the necessity and the right of proper regulations for Sundays and other holidays upon which general business is suspended and -large numbers of people, erpecialry women and children, are passing in the streets. What special restrictions of this character are needful for each of the various and widely different communities , of this. Sjate should be left to its citizens to determine. -"We favor a sound currency and a safe banking system, which can be based only on an honest dollar of a single standard of value the standard of the civilized world. We oppose the free coinage of sixty cents worth of sliver into a dollar. The government should go out of the Hankincr business and should limit Itself to fafeguardlnjr banking methods which will extend throughout, the country the money advantages of the cities. The legal-tender notes, born of the necessities of a struggle for national existence, should be withdrawn. Their presence in the currency is a menace to the steadiness of business and prevents the due use of the silver dollars. already coined. "We believe the people will permit no steps backward in tariff reform. Reckless Republican legislation left to the Democratic administration a legacy of ills, culminating Just as a Republican President left office and long before any Democratic law had been passed In a disastrous crisis, now happily disappearing as the results of Democratic national administration becomes evident. Returning prosperity, reviving Industry and increasing wages prove that tariff reduction, meager though it has been, .and not the nostrum of 'cheap money is the true cure of the evils which extortionate taxation has brought, on our Nation, and we -congratulate the country that it has a Democratic President who will veto reactionary measures and will enforce for the next two years a truce In tariff issues. x "We commend our Democratic President fpr his wise steps to restore the public credit r.nd maintain the national honor, for his pioneer work in tariff reform, for his steady improvement, of the civil service,, fcr his firm stand in the maintenance of law and order when the public peace was In danger, and for his dignified policy, which secured American fights abroad, without yielding to clamor raised by selfish adventurers from embroilment in foreign relations. The State of New York rejoices In the honors paid to Its first citizen, twice President and thrice upheld by a majority vote of the whole .people, ani we bel!cve her electoral vote can be assured for a successor who will show tho cutroken courage and fidelity' which have made hfra honored and trusted by the people." s Hamilton County (O.) Repuliltrnnn. CINCINNATI, Sept. 24.-The Republican county convention hfcre to-day was presided over by Colonel Leopold Markbrelt, pub lisher of the Volksblatt. There was a very large attendance. ; Ex - Representative Walter Hartpence led in a fight on George IS. Cox, but Hartpence had only thirty out of the six hundred delegates with him, and the following ticket was nominated practically "Without opposition: For State Senators, Adolph Pluemer, Charles Flelschman, W. B. Shattuc and John W. Herrcn; Representatives, William Ituehrweln, Charles Robinson.T. C. Fosdlck, George Hafer, Henry Buschlng, C. C. Richardson, W. C. Rogers, Theodore Mayer, Levi C. Goodale, W. II. Parkham; auditor, Eugene Lewis; treasurer, Tilden R. French; commissioner, Henry Korb; surveyor. Benjamin W. Harrison;, infirmary director, George A. Turrlll. Greenhnlire Delegation Chosen. SPRINGFIELD. Mass.. Sept. 24. The Republican caucuses in western Massachusetts to-night .were rather disappointing to the friends of ex-Lieutenant Governor Halle, as the indications are that a large majority of the delegates chosen are favorable to Governor Greenhalge. Springfield, as was expected, elected a strong antlGreenhalge delegation. There was but one ticket in he field for delegates to the State convention in any of the wards, and this ticket was the one favorable to the A. P. A. The small towns of Hampshire and Berk, shire counties seem to have 'elected almost solid Greenhalge delegations, and the fact that in a great many instances the delegates are identified with those sent a year ago seems to strengthen the theory that they will vote to renominate the Governor. . Campbell Meets Insalls. CINCINNATI. Sept. 24. Ex-Governor James E. Campbell, Depocratic. candidate for Governor of Ohio, had a long interview to-day with President M. E. Ingalls, cf the Big Four. The fact of the interview is regarded significant, but the substance of it is unobtainable. Mr. Ingalls would only Say: "Campbell is in fine spirits and very hopeful. He and I were apart a few years ago, but wo are together this fall." TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES. The National Hay Association, organized at Cleveland last year, Is In session at Cincinnati. - The T. J.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON, Ind., Sept. 21. A desperate attempt was made at' an early hour this morning to kidnap the Bolton boys that arc In the custody of Superintendent John Kinyon at the county poor farm, three miles east of Anderson. They are witnesses in the Foust murder case. The boys sleep In tho second story of the large Infirmary building. About half past 12 o'clock last night Mr. Klnyon was awakened by the barking of hi3 dog. Taking his revolver he slipped quietly out and discovered a ladder standing against the house where the boys slept and a man near the top of the ladder. A confederate-who was secreted be hind a tree r.tepped in front of Mr. Kinyon, and placing a revolver In his face, fired. The ball tore through the top. of Klnyon's hat, the powder burning his face and hair. At the report of the guft the man on the ladder Jumped and started to run for the road, followed by the one who had fired the shot. Klnyon pursued and his second shot forced a scream of pain.

DEEPER WATERWAYS t i . ; - TUB IcilY OF PEOPLB WHO LIVE AOXG TUB GREAT LAKES. t

. - Convention at Cleveland for the Purpose of Considering Ways nnd ' Mens Scope of the Addresses. CLEVELAND. O.. Sept. 24. The delegates to the first annual convention of the Di?ep Waterways Association, which assembled here this afternoon for a three days Session, constitute a representative body. The American Congress, the Dominionj Parliament, big cities on both sides of ' thej international boundary, great universities and scientific associations, boards 0 tracesand organizations of engineers and vessel owners all forces in the commerce;! and civilization of the American ccntmtmt are represented. There are among the delegates men prominent In the scientific, educational, commercial, financial. aijd' industrial world and all are Inspired y a common purpose, to break the' fetters I which have heretofore bound the commeae of the great lakes by opening a deep, waterway to the sea. The convention m-iy not be able to provide the means for making the great national Improvement, jbttt it will discus's the ways and endeavor tb select the best. The convention assembled at 3 p. m. In Army jand Navy Hall. There , were present at the opening session about two hundred delegates ar.d three hundred visitors, who had been attracted to Cleveland by the convention. Gen. E. C. O'Brien, president o? the New York Dock Commission, presideid as temporary chairman. An address of welcome was delivered by Mayor McKisron, the responses being by President E. V. Smalley, of the , St. Paul Chamber of Commerce, and James Fisher,? M. P., of Winnipeg, Manitoba. Executlvej Secretary Flower also made an address. ' The evening session was opened with the annual-address cf the international president, C A. Rowland. M. P., of Tcronto, his subject being "International Comity and Co-operation." A number of papers were $hen submitted to the convention. James j Fisher, of Winnipeg, tpoke on "Volunae and Value ef .Commerce Tribu-. tary t an Enlarged Waterway." The speakef began by showing the enormous traffic which has developed In recent years on thei lakes and rivers tributary to t'hem, and thp marvelous export trade which has developed In connection with the great inland as. "Let the- twenty-foot channels of the lakes." he said, Vbe extended from the fo-it of Lake Erie to the Atlantic and commence will receive an Impetus that will &Ive results -as Eitartling- as the unparalleled progress of the past. And it will result In a great development cf the rich Northwest on botih sides of the -Una. I care not In What direction you may reach Lake Ontario, whether It be by the Wriland and deepened to twenty feet or by a new channel through the State, ot New York, i the result .in either case will be the same. Give us the twenty-foot depth to the Atlantic and we will see the 'huge cargoes of Hour to seven thousand, tons that will bo floated on the completed Channels of the lake route from the far West to Buffalo, carried along In thev same, grade ships without break of bulk" . to tho ocean, perhaps, acrpsa the Atlantic to be Unleaded at Liverpool or Glasgow,." Denlsoi B. Smith, of the Toledo Producs Exchange, spoke on the 'necessities "and advantages ot a ship canal to the ocean." He said: "Two important topics now enpage the . commercial mind of the West. One is the deepening twenty feet of the connections between the lakes, thus Increasing the depth and the capacity of tho carries and decreasing the . coat of transportation. The- other is the project of a ship canal between the lakes and the sea of the world, and thus greatly reiuclng the cost Of reaching the old world markets with cur surplus food and manufactured products. , In the last two or three decades there has teen a decided awakening to the study of the transportation problem In a broader degree than has characterized public attention at any previous-period In history." After citing the growing interest manifested In canals In all directions, and the necessity fcr cheaper freight rates, Air. Smith demonstrated the . urgent necessity of deeper water and larger freight vessel. Touching the marine grain traffic, Mr. Smith said: "The. maximum capacity on 'ake vessels twenty years ago was oO.OCO hughe's of wheat or' 1,500 tons, while the present maximum cargo is more than 1C0.CC0 bushels of wheat, or- more than 3,OjO tons. Dut this cargo of 3,000 tons can be considerate and profitably increased by the, same vessels when our lake connections and harbor department has Increased to permit a draught of twenty feet, which is rontpmnlated bv the present harbor Im provement law. This depth of water will Increase the cargoes of the steamers to four thousand tons. Mr. 6mlth showed by figures that those countries which are obliged to buy grain are buying the bulk of it from Russia, Argentina, India, Australia and other countries. Then he continued: "I acneal to these statements as a grand summary of necessities for cheaper access to the consumers of the world. These adverse conditions will continue to augment. and must be met by such decrease in met t rparhinir the consumers as will dis courage production abroad while It expands tho area of onr own grain fields." Other papers were by J. it. van . iiise, or the University of Wisconsin, on "Tho Develonment of Our Iron and Mineral Resources;" by Hon. Martla Pattlson. of Superior, Wis., cn "Domestic Iron Mining;' by Arthur J.

St. Paul, , on "Lake Seaboard and Seaboard Cities;" by Charles Francis, Davenport, la., cn "Comparative Study, of Modern Ship Canals." It was the purpose to have a general discussion of these papers to-night, but owing to the time occupUd by the delivery of the president's address, it was decided to postpone the. discussion until no-morrow morning. Mr. E. V. Smalley. of St. Paul, and Congressman Towne. of Dulutn. addressed the convention brletiy, after which it adjourned. DISASTROUS FIRE. Philadelphia Wool and Rag Ware-' houses Suffer Heavily. PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 24. Shortly after 8 o'clock to-night fire was discovered tn the six-story brick building, Xo. 115 Chestnut street, occupied by Charles J. Webb & Co., dealers in yarns and . woclens, and within a half hour no less than six adjacent buildings were In flames. The district Is given up almost entirely to large wool and rag warehouses, and the Webb tuC King was flanked by the flve-rtory chemical works of Charles Leanig, at No. 112 South Front street. The inflammable sufcr tauce with which the structures were itored spread the blaze with amazing rapidi ty, end a general alarm was sent in. The Webb building had been gutted from rcof to cellar almost before the firemen could put the first, stream upon it, and their enari.'cs were then directed to saving the adjoining bulldogs.

With All Her Queerne.n She Still Holds Her Audience. Philadelphia Telegraph. The cups, glasses, hot-water bags, and sofa cushions that were ten years or more ago such conspicuous features In the stage decorations whenever Clara Morris appeared no longer figure so striklnply in her performances. She played Sarah Multon at the New York Fourteenth-street Theater on Wednesday night, and, only once, when she drank something out of a glass durlnj the third act, was there any trace cf the medicines. Some of her other peculiarities were present, though. When the curtain rose on the third act of the play. Miss Morris was standing at the back of the stage, a splendid figure of melancholy resignation. It was a very expressive, significant attitude, and It must undoubtedly have had its effect on the audience. Miss Morris made a step forward, and it was immediately evident that something was wrong. She suddenly stopped In the midst of her scene with, the maid and left the tage. It waa apparent as she disappeared . that she was engaged In an emphatic talk with somebody off the scene. She reappeared in a ' moment, and It became apparent .what the matter waa. On one side of the stage was a straight-back white chair, and on the other was a large upholstered leather one. Miss Morris thought that the leather chair should stsjid where the white one was. and she - promptly proceeded to c.hange their positions, or rather have the actress who was on the tii.a Tfltti Ka 1rarr tfta rfiilr! Jrnnnil 1'Tlttl thev were Placed In accordance with her Ideas.- Finally It was accomplished and the play went on. But It succeeded In ending the illusion pretty thoroughly. Anoth-er-curlous habit of Miss Morris's Is the deliberateness with which she coughs or clears her throat. On the stage this sort of thing is usually gotten over with m lightly as possible, but ns8 Morris attempts nd concealment. "I've stopped acting now. I am coughing, and It has nothing to do with the play," she seemed to say by the deliberate manner In which she stops all pretense at acting ani simply ccughs. Then she clears her throat, takes a long breath and starts In again. Frobsbly Miss Morris's peculiarities have not grown on her. Her art may never have been fine, but to-day It retains In. astonishing fullness its power and force, marred by the same . characteristics that were present In it years ago. Rut to the rather rugged method of the actress her audiences still respond with a sympathy that attests her power. Miss Morris la little known to the theater goers of the present day, but she is worth their attention.' if only to observe a talent so unique as hers. There Is no woman on the American stage to-day who seems likely to take her place, and it is doubtful If in a new actress the public would respond to methods such aspewers still make their effect even, in plays that have passed as far out of the public taste as the pieces in which she acts. ' One of Jefferson's Stories. Philadelnhia Telegraph. TA.nnh TofTorcnr relates the frdlft wlntr Interestlng incident: "There is In the villafre of Catskili a Rip Van Winkle Club. The society did me the honor to Invite me to act the character in their town." said Mr. Jefferson. "I acepted, and when I arrived was met by the president and other members of the club,, among whom was young Nicholas Vedder, who claimed to be a lineal fWnriant if - the orlrinal Oid Nick I jvas taking a. cup cf tea at the table la the hotel," conunuea-Mr. jenerson, wnea I was attracted to the colored waiter, who was giving a graphic and detailed account of the legend of the Catskili mountains to one of the boarders who sat nearly opposite me. Yes, sab,' said the waiter. Rlp went Into de mountains, slep' for twenty years, and when he como back here in dis berry town, his own folks didn't know him.' Why said his listener, 'you don't believe the story's truer 'True? Ob course it 1st Why.' pointing at me." said Jefferson. " 'dat's !e man.' When I got to the ater,M. said Mr. Jefferson, resuming the siory.V"I could scarcely get In, the i.owl was s great about the door. During ts scene in the last act, when Rip inquires of the. innkeeper, 'Is this the village of Falling Waterr I altered the text, and substituted toe correct name, 'Is this the village ol Catskili? The crowded house almost seemed to hold their breath. The name of the village seemed, to bring home the scene to every man, woman and child that was looking at it. From that time on the interest was at Its full tension. Surely I had ncyer seen an audience so struck with tho play before! There was a reception held at the club after the play, and the president was so nervous that he Introduced me as Washington Irving." ' Duvls and Valet. Philadelphia Record. . The members cf the swell clubs have been talking 'and laughing over a gocd story that has to do with the young storywriter. Richard Hardihg Davis, Out at Rryn Mawr last week there was a horse show, which was attended by ail the fashionables. If being, therefore, an eminently fit and proper event for a young man of his celebrity to adorn, Mr. Rxhard Harding Davis went. He entered the Rryn Mawr Hotel, and with the quiet dignity whih so well becomes him. he opened the register and Inscribed: "Richard Harding Da via. Ksq., 'and valet."
