The Republican Convention is being ex
celled at Chicago this week just as the
Republican party will be eclipsed in No
vember all over the country.
The Onondaga Indians held a conven
tion at Syracuse, N. Y.,. last week. It
was not a Presidential convention, hence
they did not nominate Butler.
Senator Mahone has not much of a fel
low feeling for poor Sambo after all. He
had the colored party who stole his whisky
fined 110 by the Police Court.
The greatest mistake of Prince Bis
marck’s life was when he raised such a
row about American pork and made no
objection to the American pie.
Our esteemed contemporary, the Macon
Telegraph and Messenger, says that it is
advisable to prepare to meet the cholera.
Yes, Macon needs a revival every once in
awhile.
There is a good deal of lagging and
bluffing going on in Chicago this week,
but it is gratifying to note that so tar there
has been no buying, blackguarding and
bull-dozing.
Capt. Ericsson estimates the heat of the
sun at its surface to be 1,303,640 degrees
Fahrenheit. Col. Ingersoli had not seen
these figures the last time he preached an
infidel sermon.
The most hospitable town on the glori
ous Fourth was Pottsvill*, Pa. Even the
city guard house had the thrilling word
“Welcome” in heroic sized evergreen let
ters traced above the door.
Asa failure, the firm of Grant & Ward
made the greatest success of the age. It
was a great firm, founded on a great
name, managed with great shrewdness,
anil ended in great villainy.
Some of our Macou newspaper brethren
may get off on a frolic some day. At any
rate, it looks cruel for them to tell about
Preach Hardeman playing off as a single
man when he was at the Rome encamp
ment. __
Senator Sharon, though a Republican, is
said to be actively advocating the nomi
nation and election of Judge Field to the
Presidency. This is the worst thing that
has yet been developed against Judge
Field.
The new directory of Cincinnati shows
an increase of 11,500 names over that of
last year. The Cincinnatians now claim
a imputation of 300,000 tor the city proper.
This is a pretty good showing for Cincin
nati in a flood and riot year.
A female reporter of San Francisco has
discovered the smeret of Mrs. Langtry’s
beauty to be We have sus
pected as much ever since her picture has
adorned patent &oap advertisements al
ternately with Henry Ward Beecher’s.
The most difficult thing of the week to
understand is how Gen. Butler can sup
port the Democratic nomination, as he
pledges himself to do, and at the same
time support tho nominee of the Green
back, Anti-Monopolists and other parties
who have nominated him.
An embargo against all vessels coming
from JCurope might prevent the lodgment
of cholera on this continent, and it might
bo less injurious to commerce than the
cholera would be. No ordinary quaran
tine requirements probably will avail
much against the introduction of the
cholera. ;
A Republican paper, triumphantly al
luding to the fraud of 1876 and the Inde
pendents ot this year, says the bolters
from Blaine “strain at gnats and swal
low camels.” That may be true, but the
trouble seems to be that they won’t take
in the whole menagerie—the vulture,
tattooed man, and all.
Thomas N. Bailey, who has charge of
the government works in our river and
harbor, and also at Charleston, anil who
is so well and favorably known in this
city, has been promoted and confirmed as
Captain of Engineers U. 8. A. His con
firmation dates from the 16th of last
March. _____
South Carolina tea cured in a fruit
evaporator has been pronounced by Lon
don experts equal to any Assam, Indian
or Ceylon teas. It is thought that with
experience in its preparation it can be
made equal to the best Chinese tea. Let
those who haVe tea plants continue their
experiments. There is great hope of tea
raising in the South.
Cases of cholera have already been re
ported in New York and Washington, but
both cases proved to be merely cholera
morbus. The former city has an epidemic
of measles, however, which is no light
matter. Last week over 150 cases were
reported on the east side, and there were
30 deaths from the disease. Measles are
also prevailing at several orphan asylums
in that city.
Mrs. Langtry has made another cap
ture. This time it is a Chinese boy 13
years old, the son of a wealthy Chinese
merchant of San Francisco. Mrs. Lang
try has adopted this celestial youth for
the purpose of educating him, and they,
-with Mrs. Leßreton, the Lily’s mother,,
will sail for England on the 2fith inst. It is
supposed that she will leave her cowboy
in the West.
If the New York detectives would let
the petty Chinese gamblers alone, and go
to raiding 6ome of the high-toned gaming
houses of that city, they would show a
greater respect for justice. There are
many Fiiarisees of the present day, who
take tithes of mint and anise and cumin,
and overlook more important matters,
and almost every city in the land contains
some of them.
The question as to whether figures will
lie is again coming before the country.
“Mr. Allison handles the figures of the
appropriation bills so as to make them
aggregate more than those of last year.
Mr. Randall, on the other hand, takes the
figures jus* as they are and makes them
show a very handsome reduction from the
expenses of last year.” There must be
some lying done somewhere by somebody.
The Banner of Light explains scientifi
cally how investigators who grab false
mediums and expose their tricks are
themselves deceived. It says: “What
-was intended to be a materialization at
the outset only reaches a transfiguration
of the medium's body. Thus a corporeal
form is made to take on the semblance of
a departed person.” That’s just about
what the public think about it, with the
exception that the medium’s body is
sometimes disfigured instead of transfig
ured.
tThp Situation at Chicago.
The convention docs not work rapidly.
The outlook for an early adjournment is
not promising. Five candidates —Bay-
ard, McDonald, Thurman, Carlisle and
Cleveland—were put in nomination yes
terday, and it is probable that others
will be named to-day or later in the
week. There will hardly be any
balloting to-day. No ballot is to be taken
until the Committee on Resolutions makes
a report. When that committee will re
port is very uncertain. A sub-committee
of eight to frame a tariff resolution was
appointed only last night. It is certain
never to agree. Butler, Burke, Davis and
Converse are protectionists, and of the
other four Morrison and Watterson, and
perhaps Morton, are lor tariff-for-rev
enue-only. Hewitt is a tariff reformer,
but he is not in lull harmony
with either the protectionists or the
revenue tariff members. It is not im
probable, therefore, that the sub-com
mittee will present to the full committee
three tariff resolutions. The revenue
tariff men claim to have two
majority in fall committee on
the tariff issue. If they have
the report to the convention will be in fa
vor of a tariff for revenue without any in
cidental protection nonsense. But whether
they have or not there is pretty certain to
be a minority reiort, and it is not improb
able that there will be three reports and
that the convention will have to under
take the job of framing a tariff plank.
If the convention becomes engaged in a
tariff discussion there is no telling when
balloting will begin. The Tarnma
nyites still keep up their fight
on Cleveland. Evidently they think that
delay is damaging to him. The West and
South are by no means satisfied that he
can carry New Yore, but enough
delegates from those sections may
be secured for him by the
arguments of bis New York backers
to give him the nomination. He certainly
leads all the other candidates at present,
hut it isn’t safe to predict that he will be,
nominated.
The German Vote.
The Republican leaders are beginning
to exhibit some alarm about Ohio. If
that State should happen to go Demo
cratic in October Blaine’s.prospects would
be seriously damaged. In fact a Demo
cratic victory in Ohio in October would
mean Republican defeat in November.
Ohio is regarded as a Republican State,
and under ordinary circumstances is a
Republican State, but at present it
doesn’t look as if the circumstances
would be ordinary. It is admitted
that the Germans hold the bal
ance of power. They have always
been counted on to vote the Republican
ticket. At the last State election they
executed a complete somersault and
landed in the Democratic camp. They
dropped Democratic votes in the ballot
boxes by the thousand. The cause of this
change in the German vote was the legis
lation of the Republican Legislature
against the free sale of beer anil other in
toxicating liquors. The result of the
change was to elect Hoadly, a Democrat,
Governor by a majority of 12,000.
Garfield carried the State by a
majority of 30,000 four years ago.
Will the Germans vote with the Demo
crats this year, or will they go back to
their old al lies, the Republican s ? That is
a question that cannot be answered with
any degree of certainty. The indications
are that they will vote with the Demo
crats. One of the strongest indications is
that all the newspapers published in the
German language in the State have de
clared against Blaine and Logan. There
are seventeen of these papers and they
exercise a very great influence among
the Germans. It is not improbable
that their influence will be
sufficient to give the German vote to the
Democrats. The Republicans have rea
son to be alarmed. Unfortunately for
them the disaffection among the Germans
is not confined to Ohio. It is cropping out
in Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and other
Western States. The Blaine managers
have work to do, and with not the most
encouraging prospect that their work will
be successful.
Confederate and Federal Memorials
of the Civil War.
A committee of three gentlemen, rep
resentatives of the Army of Northern
Virginia and of the Army of the Tennes
see, have been appointed by the manage
ment of the Southern Exposition at Louis
ville, Ky., which opens on August 16 and
closes on October 25, to collect specimens
of all articles of manufacture, either for
war or domestic purposes, arms, uni
forms, flags, books, newspapers—in fact,
everything used or produced by the South
during the war, together with portraits or
photographs of distinguished citizens,
and manuscripts or papers that will rep
resent the genius and heroism which has
given birth to the energy of the New
South of to-day.
The Southern Exposition is to be con
ducted on a much grander scale than
it was last year, and it is proposed to
make these Southern relics of the war a
feature ot it. There is a great deal scat
tered about the South, which, if collected,
would tell the story of the trials, triumphs,
sufferings and patriotism of the war period
more eloqueutly than it has ever been told
with the pen. The committee which has
charge of this matter appeals to all per
sons w ho have such articles, whether they
reside in the North or the South, and are
willing to loan them, to communicate with
the committee. There is a similar com
mittee on Federal memorials, which will
endeavor to make a collection similar to
that of the committee on Contederate me
morials. The two collections can hardly
fail to attract great attention.
Fogs Threatened.
New York, Brooklyn and Jersey City
are threatened with fogs like those which
at times make London a place to be avoid
ed. Those who have never had any expe
rience with a London fog can form very
little idea of it. It is so thick that travel
and traffic are in a great measure sus
pended while it envelops the city. The
darsness of a stormy, moonless midnight
is much preterable to it. In the darkness
the street lamps are a guide. In the fog
the street lamps are practically useless.
Xew York doesn’t want tobeafflicted with
such logs as London is (doubled with;
but it is believed that it will have to con
tend with just such fogs in the near fu
ture. The London fogs are believed to be
caused by the consumption of soft coal.
New York is rapidly becoming a large
consumer of soft coal. A view of the
city from an elevated position shows this
to be the case. Black smoke now issues
from thousands of chimneys, where less
than a year or so ago only gray smoke
was seen. The cause- of this is that
bituminous coal has lately become cheaper
than anthracite. The anthracite is pre
ferred, but preference gives way to cheap
ness. It is estimated that in the three
cities, New York, Brooklyn and Jersey
City, 1,000,000 tons more of bituminous
coal were used this season than ever
before. This does not indicate tbe in
crease in the consumption of coal, but the
extent to which bituminous has sup
planted anthracite coal.
It is to be regretted that Herr Koch,
the distinguished German physician, who
chased the cholera germ in three conti
nents, takes such a gloomy view of the
outlook in Europe. There is hope, how
ever, in the fact that celebrated doctors
make mistakes about as often as their less
prominent brethern. After all, the doc
tor’s famous discovery of the cholera
germ may not be a matter of much mo
ment. He may have only run across a
new kind of frog spittle.
Judge Gresham, the best Postmaster
General the Republicans ever had, is to be
permanently provided for by President
Arthur. The report that he is to succeed
Judge Drummond of the United States
Court is again repeated with emphasis.
There are several other members of the
administration that haye claims on the
President, and whom he will probably
house on the country, if possible, before
his time expires.
The New York World says that George
W. Cable is a Creole of the Creoles. The
World must be mistaken. The New Or
leans Creoles appear to think that Mr.
Cable is a Creole of some other tribe.
The March of Monopolies.
The manner in which great syndicates
are monopolizing nearly all the important
business interests of the country Is be
coming more alarming every day. It has
liecome a difficult thing for men of mode
rate means to embark in any enterprise
with reasonable prospects of success, be
cause they are at once forced to fight
competition from established concerns
that can control trade through their
agents and the power of capital, and
force weaker enterprises to the wall.
The account in a New York paper of
the organization of anew company in
that city for the purpose ot conducting
another great cattle ranch in the south
western portion of New Mexico, shows
that the cattle raising business of the
West is fast going out of the hands of the
people into those of corporations. This
company has a capital of $1,500,000, and
its range is sixty miles long l>y forty miles
wide. The States and Territories of the
West are thickly dotted with these cor
poration ranches, and no doubt their num
ber will increase very rapidly as the pro
fits of cattle raising become better known.
Farming is about the only domain of
business that has not been invaded by the
syndicates to any great extent. It seems
unnecessary, however, for them to enter
this field, controlling, as they do, the
markets in which the farmers buy their
supplies and sell their products. Occa
sionally companies have attempted to
conduct immense farms, but in nearly
every instance such ventures have ended
disastrously. The farming corporations,
however, have been very successful as
landlords, and rarely do tenants prosper
under such landlords.
Railroad and steamboat lines must
necessarily be owned and operated by
strong companies, but it is an evil day for
the country when ordinary business pur
suits are seized upon and monopolized by
gigantic corporations.
The growth of the power of corporations
is almost entirely due to the fact that they
have been fostered by the government
and granted extraordinary privileges and
subsidies at the expense of the people.
The fight against the system by which
they have gained this power will be a long
and bitter one, but the people are bound
to win in the end. It would be well for
monopolists to be warned in time, for if
they continue to oppose the reasonable
demands of the people and to heap griev
ous burdens upon them the day will come
when they will regret it. The people
may be driven to desperation and may
sweep the oppressive monopolies out of
existence. Such things have happened
in the past, and they may happen again.
The Queen has presented copies of her
book to all the English hospitals. Fewer

CURRENT COMMENT.
Democracy Is Immortal.
Xew York Sun ( Ind.).
No calamity can extinguish Democracy; no
error of those who are temporarily intrusted
with its leadership can break it down; it is
immortal.
Stars Not Spotless.
Xazhcille American (Dem.).
When Pagan Bob Ingersoll nominated
Blaine in 1876 he characterized him as “aman
whose political reputation is as spotless as a
star.’’ Our own sun is the only star within
telescopic range, and it is not spotless, neither
is it to be inferred the others are. Probably
Bob meant to say “as spotless as a star
router.”
Plenty of Good Material.
Boston Globe (Bern.).
The convention has plenty of good material
from which to select the party’s standard
liearer. Every candidate to be presented has
his peculiar elements of strength, while there
cannot be brought against any one of them
those serious charges of falseness to public
duty, anil of official untrustworthiness which
blotted the records of most of the candidates
before the Republican Convention.
Some Cause of Thankfulness.
Philailtlphia Record ( Ind.).
Now that Concrete has adjourned, in esti
mating its wort there is greater cause for re
joicing over what it refused to do than over
what it did. The possibilities of mischief are
always greater than the probabilities of satis
factory legislation. Let us be thankful that,
if little good has been accomplished, a thou
sand harmful projects have come to naught in
the clash of opposing political policies.
Let Us Have n Statesman.
Baltimore Day ( Dem .).
Leaving out the years when bayonets were
electors, the Democratic party has nominated
one Simon-pure expedient, tjvo military
chieftains and one politician ofjthe first order,
and the politician was the only candidate it
elected. From this fact we may justly appeal
to the common sense of our representatives
and ask them if 1884 is not a favorable time to
repeat the wisdom of 1876 by giving the grand
old Democratic party a statesman for its
leader. Expediency has been tried and failed
as oft as tried. If we may not have Bayard
let us have one of Bayard’s class, and then our
appeal will be aslirect one to the intelligence
and virtue of the people as against the poli
tics and politicians of the baser sort.

At a Unitarian Conference in Bernardston,
Mass., an address by a clergyman made ex
citement. He thinks that there is nothing
managed in such utter disregard of true busi
ness principles as the religious interest of this
country. He holds that every minister should
have at least 250 families in his congregation;
that a church with that number of families
can be run for about (2,500 a year.
DURING his sermon Sunday morning Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher, referring to cremation,
said that the idea of the resurrection of the
body would present a lasting objection to the
Pagan custom of burning the dead. There
might be'sanitary reasons in crowded popula

mation, but all the beliefs ol English and Ger
man-speaking people were violated by the
idea of such disposition of bodies.
Anew novel of Boston make has a heroine
who loses her beauty by disease and spends
years afterward in regretting and idealizing
the woman she was. She inspires a young
relative with this same regard tor her former
self, and between them they form the hy
pothesis that there is a separate immortality
for such stages of individual existence as she
passed through before she became plain and
old. They then seek to communicate with
the lost one through a trance medium, who
“materializes” the lost beauty before their
eyes; then the medium dies in the process,
and the materialized woman is taken home
by the heroine, who treats her as a sister, and
is engaged to marry the young man who has
invented this singular theory of separate im
mortality.
Boston has had in court the case of a gen
tleman of high social standing, the son of a
great jurist, and an eminent lawyer and
scholar, who had been imprisoned in an in
sane asvlum, but had regained his freedom.
His relatives wished to make his confinement
perpetual, and to obtain control of his prop
erty on the ground that he was a lunatic. The
only delusion under which he labored was his
belief that he heard incessantly the voices of
unseen speakers. Two men, he
declares, whom he had disobliged
hail conspired to annoy him in tills
way, and by means of electrical power con
veyed the sounds to his ear. He con
ducted his own defense, and made a plea
so powerful and scholarly that it convinced
his hearers of his sanity." He was dismissed
a free man. But he persisted on bis discharge
that the voices still sounded in his oars.
A Spanish writer goes into a calculation of
the cost of visiting a Paris dressmaker’s es
tablishment. His wife must have • modest
ball dress, not overgarniahed with hand
woven felicities, either; but this gown will
cost over (400. Now the husband is the owner
of a vineyard. Wine sells in the crude at
fifty cents the six gallons, and 4,800 gallons
will be necessary to purchase the garment.
Each acre will produce m the moderate sea
sons 600 gallons a year; therefore eight acres
of grapes will be required. But then consider
the digg ng, hoeing, rehoeing of the vine stock,
the sulphuring of the grapes, the salary of the
superintendent, the cost of grape picking, the
endless pruning, and tbe nurturing of the
vine sprouts. All this will cost perhaps (300,
so that the liquid product of the eight acres
will not, after all, be more than (100. Itisia
dispensable, consequently, that one should be
the propiietor of thirty-two acres of excellent
vines if one would give to his wife that dress.
The Sorthern division of the Spanish army
will this year execute some grand manoeu
vres, though, as the fnnds available are
limited, not more than 12,000 men will he able
to take part in them—about two divisions ot
infantry, a few regiments of cavalry and
some mountain artillery. King Alfonso will
take command of these ’forces, and he will be
accompanied by Marshal Qneeada. the Minis

The programme or general idea of the ma
noeuvres is ss follows: A French army is in

through the Pyrenees are guarded, it effects a

which is evacuated by the Spanish troops, the
main bodv of winch is concentrated between
Pamplona and Vittoria. The two armies
meet in the plain of Tolos, and after a bittle
extending over three days, the French are
beaten, and, fearing that the base of their
operation, will be cut off. they retreat upon
San Sebastian and succeed in re-embarking.

WASHING A WOODCHUCK.
Bennie Tells His Best Girl How He
and “Two Collidge Chaps” Performed
the Job.
Ed and Tom are two years along in col
lege, says the Boston Globe. When com
mencement week was over they felt “all
fagged out, you know,” and went into the
country tor vacation and rest. They tar
ried at the house of a farmer who had a
son, Bennie, of about their age. At the
end of a week, in which they got ducked,
scratched and stung after approved meth
ods, they found themselves rested enough
to go home, and went accordingly. The
night after their departure Bennie went
over to see his girl, and told her about
“them collidge chaps as was a staying at
our house.”
“They be mighty strange acting boys,”
said he, “and yit they baint no fools,
neither. That day, we went out a-holing
woodchucks, the puny one, the fellow
tother one called Ed, acted for all the
world like a horned ljiut for’s much as
five minutes, but he’s got grit In him for
all that.
“You see it was like this,” resumed
Bennie, “it was real late afore we went
out, and when we come to the clover
patch the woodchucks were in their holes
—bin to breakfast and turned in, you
know—so 1 see, sez I, ‘lts mighty warm
diggin’, boys, and it won’t do to go home
skunked, and let’s drownd ’em
out.’ They didn’t know how
’twas worked at fust, but I told ’em, and
we begun to lug water from the brook in
pails and pour it into a hole where I
knowed there was a big black one lived.
We kept at it and lugged an’ poured an’
poured an’ lugged, until it seemed’s if
we’d toted a whole well full, an’ still the
chuckker didn’t come up to blow. Then
we got some more pails and went at it
agin, and jist as we was pouring a triple
Scotch mist, when every drop was a
bucketful, in on that holfe, out comes Mr.
Woodchuck, a-drippin’ and a-winkin’ and
a-blowin’.
“See, he bobs up serenely,” said Tom,
standing there and letting the beast run
away without offerin’ to kill it. I waited
till I seed they warn’t going to do any
thing, and then I took my club and made
for him. Do you believe me, just as soon
as I did that, little Ed stepped in front of
me with his fist doubled up, and sez:
“ ‘lf you hit that woodchuck I’ll bit
you.’ ”
“He was a little fellow, an’ I could have
et him; but I didn’t want no row, and so
the woodchuck got away. When 1 come
back to where they was standing I asked
them how they was going tohave enny
tun acting like that. Then the little one
come up and put his arms around me just
like this (reaching out and clasping his
best girl to illustrate how it was done),
an’ sez to me, sez he: ‘You seen, Bennie,
I was brought up in the Baptist faith, and
when I saw that poor animal coming up
out of tbe water, looking so meek and
Eitiful, I couldn’t let you kill him. You’d
ad to kill me first.’ ” *

AN INGENIOUS AIR SHIP.
To Sail Through Space at 130 Miles an
Hour.
After spending thirty years in studying
and experimenting with balloons,
Philadelphia Record, Charles P. Fest, a
resident of Germantown, has at last, so
he believes, succeeded in perfeetiag a ship
which he claims can be steered at will
through the air.
Mr. Fest lives in a neat little cottage on
Stenton avenue, below Wyoming street.
He Is of German origin, a jeweler fay
trade, and. besides having an inventive
mind, also possesses determination, as is
illustrated dv the fact that his serial ex
■"periments have already cost him
$6,000. Mr. Feet has a great desire
to cross the ocean in an air-ship,
as he thinks that such a. feat would make
him famous for all time to come. He has
been granted nine different patents by the
United States Patent Office for as many
air-ships, but all previous efforts have
failed him in his purpose to go sailing
through the air. His present air-ship
was patented on March 18 last. A model
has just been completed at an expense of
S2OO, seven months of labor having been
expended on It. He had intended trying
it on Friday morning, but the demonstra
tion was unavoidably postponed on ac
count of his wife meeting w ith an acci
dent by a fail. This so upset matters that
the model was packed away, and the in
ventor was obliged to turn his attention
to his suffering companion.
The model is made of strong manilla
paper inclosed in a patent net of stout
twine. The body is cylindrical in shape
with cone-shaped ends. Hot air alone
will comprise the motive power. The ship
is thirty feet long, nine feet in diameter,
and weighs twenty-four pounds. Beneath
the bag is a small reservoir containing oil,
which is supplied by little rubber tubes to
two lamps at eitherend ot the bag. The
lamps furnish the hot air, and the size of
the flame and flow of oil can be regulated
at pleasure. The car will hang directly
under the bag. The ship is provided with
six valves, being arranged one at each
end and two on each side. The valves
may be opened and closed at will by cords
from the car. The ship is designed to be
steered by the opening and closing of the
valves. The highly heated air in the interior
of the bag will escape with much more force
through the open pipes to the outside, and,
in striking the cold atmosphere, will veer
the ship around in the right direction, so
Mr. Fest declares. He says that it is Im
possible for any air-ship to sail against
the wind, but he proposes to overtide this
trouble by ascending and descending in
slanting directions in about the same
manner as a boat sails against the wind
by tacking from one point to another. In
order to descend the valves need only be
opened and the flames in the lamps lower
ed. The escape of the hot air will permit
the 6hip to sink of its own weight. In
ascending the valves will be closed and
the lamps made to burn higher, thus
creating a quick supply of hot air. In
and about the lamps the bag is covered
with asbestos and silicate of soda to pre
vent it taking fire.
After this experimental ship has been
thoroughly tested Mr. Fest intends to con
struct a ship, 150 feet long and 40 feet in
diameter, which, with the car and all
other appliances, will not weigh more
than 250 pounds. Mr. Fest estimates that
it will carry 1,450 pounds, as it will be
provided with 8,650 cubic feet of hot air
space. It is in this ship that he expects
to cross the Atlantic Ocean. He believes
that he can attain a speed of from 100 to
120 miles an hour. In the big ship provi
sion will be made for carrying fifty gal
lons of oil, which will last nearly three
days.
Sir. Fest has constructed over 200 bal
loons in an eflort to devise a scheme which
would permit them to be steered through
the air. For a long time he tried gas for
inflating purposes, but so many of them
were destroyed by. explosions that he
abandoned gas and turned his attention
to electricity. This not proving satisfac
tory, he conceived the idea of burning oil
while in the air, as it could always be
depended upon for a fresh supply ol hot
air. It also obviates the necessity of carry
ing ballast, and thus makes the ship so
light that it can be more readily guided
through space. A rudder Mr. Fest con
siders useless for purposes ot steering.
He says the power to steer must come
from the inside and not from the outside.
The big ship will be covered all over with
asbestos and silicate of soda as a preven
tion against fire.
THE OTSEGO LAKE SUICIDE.
A Stranger States That it Was a Pnt-
Up-Job to Escape from Tliree Wives.
At Thayer’s celebrated game dinner
house, at Three-Mile Point, Otsego Lake,
to-day, says a Richfield Springs, N. Y.,
special of the 6th inst. to the World, were
a number of guests from Richfield Springs.
During a conversation with the host about
George Crocker, who was supposed to
have tied a boat anchor to his leg and
jumped overboard into the lake, a stran
ger supposed to be Walter Livingston, his
companion in the boat, stated that the
supposed suicide, having three wives and
expecting a lively time in a few days,
hired the man Livingston to go with him
at dark to cross the lake in a boat, and
late in the evening return with the details
of the suicide. The story that he left four
letters is verified, but it is impossible to
verify the story of the suicide, as the lake
at the place pointed out by Livingston is
over 300 feet deep. Efforts have been made
to drag for the body, live boats being em
ployed.
The story of the stranger, who refused
to give his name, that Crocker has for
some time been expecting wives No. 2
and 3, and, deciding to disappear, hired
this man to tell the story. The stranger
was slightly intoxicated and gave it
away to the guests and host. Crocker
evidently did not jump into the lake as
reported, but was rowed across by Liv
ingston and left on the opposite side of
Otsego Lake and then escaped into the
country. Every effort will be made to
verify the story of the suicide by the Rich
field Springs and Sharon Springs author
ities. The story is now becoming very
interesting to all the guests here and the
whole surrounding country.
A FEYV GOOD HITS.
Meditating on South America’s Trade.
During the Saturday night session of
the House, says a Washington special to
the New York Sun, by the time it got well
on toward Sunday morning, some of the
discussions became a little rambling, as
this episode in the debate on the consular
and diplomatic bill may suggest:
The Speaker—The gentleman has two
minutes of his time remaining.
Mr. Blount—l do not believe L will use
that.
Mr. Springer (to Mr. Blouni)—Give it
to me.
Mr. Blount—What side are you on?
Mr. Springer—On your side.
Mr. Blount—All right.
Mr. Springer—The gentleman gives me
bis two minutes’ time. I am quite as
anxious as gentlemen on the other side,
and a few gentlemen on this side, to have
the trade of South Carolina [laughter] —of
the South American republics. * * *
But you can send commissioners to South
America from now until the day of judg
ment, and you may drink barrels and
barrels of champagne with the people
there, and you can never sell a wool hat
to a single citizen of those countries
unti! you can sell it as cheap as or cheap
er thdn such articles are by the
countries of Europe.
Here the hammer fell, and just after
wards Mr. Eaton got the floor for half a
minute:
Mr. Eaton—One-half minute! I will
take just a quarter of a minute to tell my
friend from Illinois [Air. Springer] that
the champagne which he drinks, which
comes out ot barrels [laughter], is not the
kind consumed by the people in the coun
tries now under discussion.
A few good-humored hits of this kind
contrasted favorably with some of the
personalities resorted to in Sunday night’s
session.

“Yes, sir; certainly, sir. We have built

“Such a line of policy, X take it,” said

BAITING WIIjD BEASTS.
A Patriotic Entertainment in Dr. In
galls' State.
The first genuine bull fight ever held on
the North American continent, says a
Dodge City, Kansas, special of the sth
instant to the Philadelphia Press, took
place yesterday in this typical town of
the Southwestern frontier. The gamblers
and wantons who have for years diverted
themselves by plundering the cowboys of
Kansas, the Indian Territory and the
Panhandle of Texas, have found anew
amusement which furnishes plenty of
blood. The idea of .the bull fight was
conceived some two months ago by A. B.
Webster, a Pennsylvanian, who is Mayor
of Dodge City.
A fair is being held, and the Mayor, be
lieving in making as many additions to
the attractions as possible, had a large
bull ring and amphitheatre laid out and
one of the finest half-mile tracks in the
West built, the whole enclosed by a huge
board fence. The fighting was done by
twelve wild Texas bulls and five mata
dors, who arrived three days ago from
Mexico. They were all fierce looking,
and when Jesu Mori y Balle, a Mexican
bov, climbed up the fence to look at the
bulls and fell over they gored him nearly
to death. Ten thousand dollars in pre
miums were offered,and the eowbovs swore
there should be no hippodrome. Two men
were beaten and one killed in a house of
evil repute Thursday night, and Friday
morning the whole town was agog.
PREPARING FOR THE FIGHT.
In spite of the prohibitory law in Kan
sas, Dodge City has alwavs kept its sa
loons open. To-day beer at fifteen cents
a glass and whisky at twenty-five cents a
drink were dealt out in large quantities.
The dance halls did an immense business,
and gaudily dressed women arrived in
droves. Of the thirty business buildings
in town, nineteen are occupied by dance
houses, gambling halls and saloons. Some
of the most noted characters in the West
ern country reside here, among whom arc
the Masterson boys, three in number, and
long the terrors of the border. But Mas
terson, formerly Sheriff of Ford county,
has a record of* having killed twenty-two
men. Mayor Webster has only killed
three men, but is highly respected. Every
body who dies a natural death here is bu
ried in the cemetery called Gospel Hill,
the others are planted in ‘-Boot” Hill.
THE SCENE AT THE BULL RING.
By 3 o’clock yesterday the crowd began
to assemble in the amphitheatre. In a
short time every seat was taken, and the
excited crowd began crying first for more
room and then for blood. A heavy enclosure
had been built about a large area, arrang
ed as a bull pit, and into this the bulls
were shot from a chute one at a time. At
4 o’clock the manager of the bull fighters,
Capt. Miard, of Paso del Norte, Mexico,
addressed the audience. He was cut
short in his speech by yells for the fight
ing to begin. To the sound of music and
the shouts of 10,000 hoarse voices the
Mexican matadors bounded into the arena.
They were gaily costumed in bright
colors, and presented a brilliant appear
ance. The matadors were particular? ap
plauded by the ladies, and were in reality
fine-looking ieilows. They seemed to per
fectly understand their business and say
they have been engaged in it since boy
hood. They inspected twelve bulls and
pronounced them fierce and very danger
ous. The bulls had been kept in confine
ment for some time, and rendered as fierce
as possible.
As soon as the matadors took their sta
tions in the arena, the first bull, a savage
black, was let in. He was immediately
infuriated by flags, banners and sharp
darts; little spears were thrust into his
flanks. The beast was chased about the
arena in a wild frenzy, his tormentors
having several narrow escapes while pur
suing him.
THE SLAUGHTER OF THE SURVIVOR.
Finally, when all the sport was worried
out of the bull, he was lassoed and drag
ged trom the ring. Three more bulls were
treated in the same manner, the excite
ment each time growing more intense.
The crowd was now' worked up to the
proper pitch, and the last bull was let in.
He was the fiercest of the lot, and made a
hard tight between the picador on horse
back, and the matador, on loot. Goaded
to desperation, the beast made a plunge
at one of the matadors, w'as pierced by
the picador’s lance, and then stabbed in
the neck with a short sword, and fell
dead. At the sight of blood the audience
shouted vociferously. The matador him
self was badly w'ounded about the ribs,
and was rolled over and over in the saw
dust.
Then the first day’s fighting was de
clared over and the crowd of strangers
poured itself out into the town. They
were hospitably received, and sought out
the sights, gazing, among other things, at
the depot, w'hich has been literally shot
full of bullet-holes. In the gambling
houses all kinds of games w r ere going on,
Spanish monte, keno, hazard, chuck-a
luck, roulette and poker. The games
where a dealer is required were presided
over by women. The stakes ran high,
and it was not uncommon to see $25,000 to
$50,000 change bands at one table. Money
seemed to be as plentiful as water.

Gentleman—-There is some mistake in
this gas bill.
Gas Collector—No, sir, the bill is all
right. It is according to the meter.
Gentleman—lt’s very strange; I cer
tainly burned more gas than that last
month.
Gas Collector—Wh-wiiat’s that, sir?
Gentleman (emphatically )—1 say I cer
tainly burned more gas than that last

Gas Collector (turning pale and edging
tow'ard the door)—Very well, sir, very
well. Don’t get excited, sir; keep quiet;
calm yourself. Everything will be made
all right, I assure you, sir.
The collector then bounced down the
stairs and shouted for help. Four police
men responded, and moving cautiously up

got him safely to a lunatic asylum. But
little hopes are entertained of his re
covery.

First of all, Let Us Talk Hosiery.

And any quanity of Hosiery in Silk, Lisle
and Cotton at equally low figures.
Now We Shall Speak of Handker
chiefs.
We have too many kinds in Silk, Linen and
Cotton to be enabled to enumerate and specify
each style, but this we assure you: we have
made immense reductions in these goods; for
example, we oiler a nice Fancy Bordered
Handkerchief at 2c.; a Pure Linen at 5c.; a
nice quality, all Linen, Hemstitched at 10c.;
in fact, you can’t afford to purchase Handker
chiefs elsewhere, for you would be losing
money.
We Will Now Tell You About Our
Laces and Embroideries.
At the prices we have put them we can
verily say we are .giving them away. We offer
Hamburg Edgings at lc., 2c., 3c., 4c., sc. and
so on as has never been equaled; in fact, such
bargains you have never seen liefore, the same
holds good with our Lace stock, such as Laces,
All Overs, Curtain Laces, Fichus, etc.
Just Think, We Offer Our Elegant
Farasols at Half Price.
Yes, we have reduced our Parasols and Um
brellas just one-half, come and judge for
yourself. If they are still too high, we will
lower them further, for they must go. Now
do not come too late, when they are all picked
over, for bear in mind, we aniicipate a great
rush and naturally they can’t last all the time.
It is Very. Warm, So W*e Must Talk
to You About Fans.
We have all kinds, from the humble but use
ful Palmetto Fan at lc. to the very finest style
and quality. These goods were purchased
this week from the Assignee of the importing
house of Nathaniel Bloom in New York at
one-third its actual cost, hence these unex
ceptional bargains.
Now a Word or Two About Onr Gloves.
We have them in Silk and Thread, in Jersey
style, Foster Hook and Button, in black and
in white, and every imaginable shade; also, a
full line of Silk Mitts, and have made prices
to correspond with the rest of our stock, very,
very low indeed.
bear in mind that these Goods at these prices will be sold only whilst they last.
We cannot duplicate them at these prices, and as we expect a very large rush, they can’t last
very long. If you do not wish to be disappointed call early, or else do not blame us if you
find the pest bargains gone.
