The Extra Session Question.
It was stated a few days ago in tho dis
patches that the President was opposed to
an extra session of Congress. It is doubtful
if ho has yet given the matter much serious
thought. If he were to consult his inclina
tion alone it is probable that there would be
no extra session. It may be made to appear
to him, however, that the test interests of
the country require an extra session. In
that event it would bo called, since the
President is always ready to do xviiat is test
for the country.
Whether or not an extra session is neces
sary is a question concerning which there is
a very great difference of opinion. Several
Congressmen have expressed their views
in Washington lately with regard to it, and
they are opposed to it. Congressman
Singleton, of Mississippi, said that he did
not think that anything would be accom
plished by calling Congress together in
October. The members wouldn’t settle
down to work before December, and the
two months before the opening of the regu
lar session would be wasted.
Congressman Norwood, who was also in
terviewed at Washington, is reported to
entertain the opinion that there will be no
extra session. He believes the situation
which confronts the Democratic party,
however, to be a grave one, and that it will
require wise .statesmanship to handle suc
cessfully the questions which will come
before the present Congress. The Demo
cratic leaders understand that the accumu
lation of the surplus in the Treasury pre
sents a problem that must be solved
at the earliest possible moment,
and they recognize the difficulty
of solving it. The Republicans don’t care
to have it solved. They know that if the
surplus is not disposed of in some way there
is pretty certain to lie disastrous financial
disturbances, and that such disturbances
would injure the Democratic party and
jeopardize its chances for success in isss.
What is to be done? The Democratic
party must harmonize. It must agree upon
some plan for reducing the revenues.
Mr. Norwood thinks there will be a caucus
of the Democrats for this purpose
as soon as Congress meets, but, of course,
he cannot say that there is a fair prospect of
an agreement being reached. There appears
to be only one way in which there can be
harmonious action, and that is for the mi
nority to yield to the majority. Four-llfths
of the party want the tariff reduced, and
one-fifth wants the internal revenue taxes
repealed. The minority, tiding strong be
cause it is backed by the Republicans, pro
poses to force the majority to come to its
position. Will the minority, led* by Mr.
Randall, still continue to fight against tariff
reduction? If it does there will be little
chance for an early solution of the surplus
problem.
Mr. Norwood says that the Democrats
will make a mistake if they enter upon the
work of the regular session without some
plan of action. Of course they will, but
that is what they are going to do unles Mr.
Randall gives up his ambitious idea of try
ing to make Democratic party stand on
a Republican platform.
The President’s St. liouis Visit.
There is some trouble in St. Louis In con
nection with the proposed visit of the Presi
dent to that city. He was invited by the*
Grand Army of tho Republic, which is to
have a national encampment there in Oc
tober, and by the citizens of the city. He
made no reply to the Grand Army invita
tion, but accepted that tendered by the
citizens. A portion of the Grand Army
wants to entertain him, and another, but
much smaller portion, doesn’t want him to
come at all. It seems that some of the
Grand Army jieoplehopeto get a resolution
adopted by the national encampment con
demning the President's veto of the dependent
pension bill, and they feel that their scheme
will be greatly interfered with by the Presi
dent’s presence. Ot course their purpose is
to influence the ex-soldier element in the
next Presidential contest. 1
The citizens say that the Grand Army
need not bother itself about the President’s
visit. He will be their guest, and they will
look after his entertainment. A movement
has already been started to have a committee
of citizens appointed to make all necessary
arrangements for tho visit.
•Of course it will be annoying to the Presi
dent if his A’isit causes ill feeling. If the
trouble threatens to assume such proportions
as to attract wide attention, he may not go
to St. Louis at all. It is probable that he is
not so anxious to go there as to run the risk
of interfering with the plans and purposes
of any considerable number of those who
may be assembled there.
Those of the Grand Army who want to
use that organization as a political machine
ought to be given back seats. If they want
to condemn the President’s pension vetoes
let them do it at their respective posts. The
efforts thus far to secure an expression of
condemnation of the pension vetoes from
Grand Army Posts have not teen very suc
cessful. In fact, about as many |>osts have
approved as have condemned them. If the
truth were known it would appear,probably,
. that the majority of the ex-Union soldiers
approve them.
Mother Cowles, of Oakville, Conn., spends
most of her timo writing to lawyers urging
them to give up tbeir profession, and to
clergymen praying them to hold a conven
tion to reform the world. Hhe tells the
lawyers that they will all eventually be
damned. She says there is a chance for
newspaper men if they will publish nil her
sayings, do what they can to help on her
work and stop working Sundays. The re
form Mother Cowles has undertaken is ns
hopeless as that undertaken by the McGlynu-
Georgo Anti-Poverty Society.
The gentlemen comprising tho Board of

THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, JUNE 4, 1387. 1
Vigilance the Price ot Safety.
The dispatches from Key West indicate
that the health authorities there are prepar
ing for an old time yellow fever epidemic.
There are thousands of unacclirnnted people
in that city, and it will therefore be ex
tremely difficult, if not impossible, to check
the disease. The chances are thought to ho
that it will not disappear until it has run its
course through the entire city. There are
many eases of the fever at Havana, and
while it is not declared epidemic there the
probability is that it will become so.
Under the circumstances tho health an
tliorities of tho South Atlantic and Gulf
ports have a very grave responsibility rest
ing upon them. Since the establishment of
strict quarantine regulations tho yellow
fever has made its appearance in these ports
much less frequently than teforc that time,
and when it has made its appearance in
them good reasons have existed for thinking
that it was imported. The prevailing opin
ion is that the disease d'x>s npt originate
anywhere in this country. If this opinion
is correct, too groat care cannot be taken to
guard against its importation.
Tho people not only of the ports, but of
the interior towns, depend upon the health
officers who have charge of quarantine mat
ters for protection. Vigilance of the strict
est kind alone will satisfy them. They will
not overlook earolessness of any sort, par
ticularly if it results in the introduction of
the disease.
With a strict quarantine and good sani
tary regulations, conscientiously and fear
lessly enforced, the people feel in a measure
secure- There are those, of course, in every
exposed locality who will disregard all laws
for the preservation of the public health if
their interests would be advanced by so
doing. They should he made to understand
that no individual interests will be permitted
to endanger the welfare of a whole com
munity.
The reports that there has not been a
strict enforcement of the quarantine laws
at this port are. at the request of the Health
Officer, to be investigated. Let the investi
gation I>e a very thorough one in order not
only that justice may be done the Health
Officer, but that the other Southern ports
and the country tributary to Savannah
may fee! certain that there will he no care
lessness hero in quarantine matters.
Quarantine in Florida.
Jacksonville has taken precautions against
the introduction of yellow fever into that
city. She has established a conditional
quarantine against Tampa and two or three
other places on the Florida coast, and an
unconditional quarantine against Key West.
She now proposes to have the Key West
mails fumigated.
It seems that the action against Tampa
was taken because of the belief that the
quarantine regulations there were not
strictly enforced. A traveler from Havana
told the Jacksonville authorities that he had
no difficulty in leaving Havana and in land
ing at Tampa. It was on this information
that the Jacksonville Board of Health acted.
It is stated that if the board had not
established the quarantine that it did New
(Means would have quarantined against the
whole of Florida. The board’s course was,
under the circumstances, a wise one, whether
there was a necessity for it or not. Tho
temper of tho people is against holding free
communication with those communities
which are indifferent about keeping them
selves free from infectious diseases.
A Isindon tt Ingram to tho Now York
World says that the “American Indian,”
Red Shirt, visited the Savage Chib on Sat
urday night in full war paint. There were
also present Fly Above, Little Bull, Col.
Cody, Mr. Burke, Broncho Bill and Wilson
Barrett. A pipe of peace was smoked. Red
Shirt promised to send tho historical calu
met to the club on his return to America.
He alluded to the members of the Savage
Club as “brothel’s,” and returned thanks lor
receiving the warm hand of friendship. Col.
Cody also made a brief address, speaking of
the kindness with which he aud his com
panions had been received everywhere since
their arrival in England. The fact that
Col. Cody anil his showmen have been so
cordially received by the Edglish, from the
Queen down, while hospitality was denied a
Georgia military company, is a curious
commentary upon English wavs.
The New York World tells rather a queer
story about Congressman Tim Campbell.
He went to Congressman Crain, of Texas,
one day, and said: “Billy, I will make a
fair exchange with you. The people in my
district have not an inch of ground on
which to raise flowers and vegetables. I
will give you an order on the agricultural
and horticultural bureaus for all the seeds
coming to me, if you will give me some ap
pointments in the Brooklyn navy yard.
You can get three or four fellows a job in
the Brooklyn navy ye rd. You can say they
live in New York, but have relatives in
your district who are friends of yours.”
According to the World, Congressman
Campbell worked about a dozen Southern
Congressmen on this plan. He borrowed
seeds from Congressmen of Philadelphia,
Boston, Chicago and other large cities to
meet the extra demand.
The New York Times says that Mr.
Hyatt, the new United States Treasurer,
has made an unfortunate innovation upon
the careful business methods of his prede
cessors by permitting the interest checks is
sued by him to go out without his autograph
signature, the checks being stamped by a
fac simile rubber representation of his sig
nature. It is claimed that Treasurer’s
checks are atiout the only documents ema
nating from tho accounting or disbursing
officers of tho department which have not
such a multiplicity of initials and signs to
countersign upon them, as to make their
forgery a practical impossibility. Mr.
Hyatt pleads pressure of business and lack
of time as the reason for adopting tho stamp
process. lie promises to abolish the prac-,
tieo.
Mre. Rogers, the wife of William K. Rog
el’s, alias William Kissane, tells a curious
story about tho warfare on him. She says
that Gen. Dnrr and his wife were the guests
of herself and husband at Sonoma, Cal., and
that Mrs. Dnrr secretly examined the furni
ture of the house and made an inventory of
it. Bon. Darr made a demand upon Rogers
for $115,000 in behalf of the New York Chem
ical National Bank, whereas tho bank
claims only $4,300. It is supposed that the
suit recently instituted by the liank will
bring out the whole truth about this now
famous case.

From the Boston Courier.
How much a nmn is like his shoes!
For instance, both a soul may lose;
Both have been tanned: both are made tight
By cobblers; both get left and right.
Both need a mate to lie complete;
And both are made to go on feet,
They both need healing; oft are sold.
And both in time will turn to mold.
With shoes the last is tirst; with men
Tlie first shall lie the last; and w hen
The shoes wear out they’re mended new:
When men wear out they're men dead, too!
They both are trod upon, and both
Will trend on others, nothing loth.
Both have their ties, anil both incline,
When polished, in the world to shine;
And both peg out. Now, would you choose
To be a man or be his shoes?
“Mohair” Shoes.
From the Boston Hearld.
A lady went into a small shoe store not a
thousand miles from Boston, last week, to be
fitted to some boots, and while waiting for the
attendant to attend glanced about at the shelves
and boxes with thetr tempting and uncomfort
able contents. On one of the boxes was printed
"mohair shoes.” “What are mohair shoes?”
she inquired. “I never heard of them in Boston
or New York.” “O,” said the proprietor gra
ciously, taking out of the box a pair of stunning
high-heeled shoes, "they are called mohair lie
cause of these big buckles." “Don’t you mean
Moliere ?" asked the customer. "No, I don’t.
Jimmy wrote it. He sgid it was something

Again the Old, Old Story.
From the Atchison (Kan.) Globe.
The Chump Centre Clarion, which was issued
as a daily for the first time on April 10, con
tained the following in the salutatory: “This
venture is made in response to the clamoring of
many of <mr best citizens, and a conviction that
the growth and enterprise of Chump Centre de
mands a daily paper. Being thoroughly satis
fied that the people will stay by us and encour
age us in our innovation, we launch our daily
upon the sea of journalism without a fear for
the future. We have come to stay. Belah!”
The issue of yesterday contained the following:
“With this issue the Clarion becomes a thing of
the past. A great many of our best citizens
clamored for a daily paper, and when it was
issued they wanted it delivered free, and kicked
because the inside pages, which were filled with
plates, were not devoted to local news. They
advertised freely, but when the bills were sent
in they said they would see themselves jim
dasted before they would pay such bills. We
have therefore quit for keeps. Selah!"
A Boy’s Estimate of His Mother’s
Work.
From the American Farmer.
“My mother gets me up, builds the fire, gets
my breakfast and sends me oft," said a bright
youth.”
“What then?” said the reporter.
“Then she gets my father up and gets his
breakfast and sends him off. then gets the other
children their breakfast and sends them to
school, and then she and the baby have their
breakfast.”
"How old is the baby?”
“O, she is ’most two, but she can walk and
talk as well as any of us.”
“Are you well paid?”
“I get $2 a week; father gets $- a day.”
“How much does your mother get?”
With a bewildered look the bov said: “Moth
er: Why, she don’t work for anybody.”
“I thought you said she worked for all of
you.”
“0, yes, for all of us she does, but there ain’t
no money in it.”
Typical Southerners.
Loxgwood, Fla., June 2. ~~Kditnr Morning
Fetes: Apropos of your editorial, in a recent
issue, on the “Typical Southerner," I wish to
call your attention to the paucity of Southern
heroes in the novels of the day. There are
Southern heroines in plenty, but Ido not recall
any recent novel of any consequence, with the
exception of the “Bostonians, in which the
hero is from the South. The male characters
generally make no pretense of being anything
else than lay-figures, that are supposed to repre
sent sotne general type. There is hardly ever
the slightest attempt to give them any individ
uality of character; they are usually conven
tional, and never realistic.
Mr. Janies, in his Bostonians, has made a very
good study of our Southern type, and from this
has produced a real character. The character
is not altogether an admirable one. and he oc
casionally makes his hero do and say some
strange things; but it is the most successful at
tempt, nay, almost the oaly one, to maker a real
study of this type. In the same work he intro
duces some peculiar Boston types, and it would
be interesting to know what the Advertiser
would think to have theso types called "topical
Bostonians.” Windsor Smith.
Last Z xy of the Flea Market.
From a Copenhagen Letter.
Yesterday was the last day of the flea market.
The fifty-two old women whp have sat haggling
over their uncanny wares in the square by the
government pawn shop until the queer band had
become a part of the familiar physiognomy of
the city, had been told.that their time was up at
3p. m. sharp, and that the flea market would
then be a thing of the past. They had appealed
in vain to the Mayor, to the Minister of the In
terior. and, as a last resort, by deputation to the
King, praying that in consideration of their
great age they might keep their stands or move
them elsewhere until they could drop out to
gether, as it were. They were told that there
was no room for sentiment in their case. Per
haps the fleas had killed it. Their mixed stock
of second-hand clothes, old rags, felt shoes and
crockery certainly harbored a fair share. But,
then, it was a very cheap market—so cheap that
others than the very poor sought it for bargains.
No matter; they must all go together. Cus
tomers had come from far and near to the clos
ing sale until the square was black. So brisk a
trade tic* flea market had never known. In spite
of it more than one aged face was wet with
bitter tears as the hands of the old tower clock
pointed to 3 anil the word to move ou was given.
There was very little left to move that was
worth it: nothing more worn or shaky than the
old market women themselves. As they filed
out with their bundles, easting stolen glances
behind them, one of the characteristic tradi
tions of this old city went out with them and
became a thing of the past.
A Self-Made Lady.
From the Arkansaw Traveler.
‘You seem to be much attached to your wife,"
said the Governor of Arkansas, addressing an
old negro who had lust paid a tribute to the
ruler of his household.
“I is, sah, powerful. Dnt lady is one ermong
er thousand, an' does yer know dat she's er se’r
tr.ade lady?"
"A self-made lady?"
“Yes, sah. she's er se’f-made lady. When we

“How? By drawing the water yourself?" the
Governor asked.
“Oh, no. Kah: by srittin' er smaller bucket dat

It is generally supposed in this country that
Paris has finer spectacular plays and more bril

world. But M. Clarette, director of the Theatre
Francais, says that the London managers excel
all others in those particulars.
Two gypsies were married at Macomb, 111., re
cently. When the bridegroom was asked if he
took the woman to be his wedded wife he an
swered: “Just as you say.” After the ceremony
the man went out of one door and the woman
out of another, and they did not appear to be
in the least interested in each other.
Mbs. John Fanning found an egg on a fence
near her home at Millford, 111., which she took
to the house and cooked and ate. Alarming
symptoms of being poisoned soon came, and a
physician was summoned and with great diffi

fence for crows.

All the villagers near Baiiunda, west coast of

yard and stopping up all the holes in the graves
so that the spirits could not get. out to kill any
body—women fed it to their babies.
A German writer has found that the present
year is the 100th anniversary of the birth of the
waltz. In 1187 a Spanish composer named Vin
cent Martin had an opera performed in Vienna
in which there was a dance Which so captivated
the town that all Vienna took at once, to waltz
ing, or “valsing,” as it is now common to say.
The “tournante” is said to have been a rudi
mentary waltz, “expressive of innocent joy."
A short time ago a middle-aged gentleman in

It is said, on the authority of “an American
railway engineer," that, low temperatures do not
decrease the strength of rails, as it is commonly
supposed, although it is true that accidents are
more likely to occur from broken rails in cold
weather. This is because when the ground is
frozen hard it loses its elasticity. Nevertheless,
something must yield when the train runs over
the road; it is the ground that yields in un
frozen weather; but during a freeee the ground
will not yield, and the rail, as being the weakest
part of the structure, has to suffer the conse
quences.
A few days ago a tortoise was found on the
farm of Mr. Henry M. Kepler, near Middletown,
Md., which had the “C. S.” and the
date “1781” cut ou the shell. This find caused
Mr. Kepler to look up his old deeds, and among
them he found one dated 1756, conveying the
farm to one Caspar Shoaf, and is now satisfied
that the initial on the shell of the tortoise are
those of this former owner of the farm. How
old it was when thus marked—l2o years ago—
cannot be known. The tortoise was again set at
liberty by Mr. Kepler, and in a few- hours there
after had disappeared.
Jabez Hall an aged and respected planter
living near Mariana, Ark., advertised for a wife
some time ago, and the answers were so numer
ous that he was at a loss how to chodSe. He has
since settled the matter, however, by a very
neat and satisfactory expedient. He gave each
applicant a number, and, writing the numbers
on separate cards, put them in a box and shook
them up well. Then he blindfolded his little
grandchild and had her draw a card from the
box. He is now corresponding with the lady to
whom the card had been allotted, and ’it is
probable that a wedding will result.
Mlle. Hele.ve de Rothschild, only daughter
of the late Baron Solomon, of Paris, is possessed
of an unconquerable resolution to marry Capt.
Van Smesseir, a young officer in the Belgian
army. The opposition of the lady's mother and
other relatives will prevent the ceremony from
taking place before August. Mile. - Helene
already possesses an immense fortune, and her
dowry will ultimately amount to $30,000,000. a
sum which her future husband has only read of
in romances. Mlle. de Rothschild has pi r 'based

Champs Elysees, as a future residence tor her

Prof. Trowbridge’s plan of subtra: ine tele
phony, in which speech was to be transmitted
between vessels at sea without the aid of any

practicable, as the system upon which Mr. Edi

promising of good results. In this system the
telephone signals by long and short explosive
sounds, instead of spoken words, and communi
cations have been successfully exchanged
through the water between vessels from three
to four miles apart, with the prospect that the
working limit may be increased with improve
ment in the apparatus.
There are still a few theorists who justi.y
polygamy on the ground that more women are
born into the world than men, but the theory
has long been exploded. Augnst Babel, in his
remarkable work, recently translated into Eng
lish, shows that in ten States, with a population
of 250.000,000, the excess of females over modes
was only 2,500,000: and when we remember the
extent to which men outnumber women in the
colonies, and the fact that in India there are
6,000,000 more men than women, the natural
infereneg is that if the inhabitants of the earth
were distributed according to the sexes men
and women would lie found to exist in about
equal proportions.

•To an of Arc still lives in the memory of her
fellow-countrymen, and the attempt made some
time ago by an erratic writer to deprecate the
fame of the Maid of Orleans was followed by
such a storm of indignation that the profana
tion is not likely to lie repeated for many a year.
The old town from which the savior of France
took her title is celebrating the four hundred
and fifty-eighth anniversary of its deliverance
from the invader with a series of splendid fetes.
The principal squares and streets are ablaze
with banners and oriflamnies; the air resounds
with the peals of bells and with martial music:
cannon are saluting the memory of the valiant
maid, and yesterday, in opening the festivities,
the Bishop of Orleans, holding aloft the stand
ard of Joan of Arc. which he had received from
the hands of the Mayor, blessed the kneeling
and enthusiastic population Torchlight pro
cessions and fireworks complete the programme
of a fete which has attracted to Orleans the in
habitants of the neighboring districts for miles
around.
Thkiik are more Carlyle letters In store, and
they are to Tie brought out, like the early letters
lately published, by Mr. Norton. The new
series will be of very especial interest, since
they.are letters of Carlyle to Browning. Such
a prospect may well make literary mouths
wafer. Carlyle and Browning were close friends,
and the former greatly befriended the latter
when he was a young man comparatively
unknown mid with nia way to make. This is a
fact not perhaps generally known. Carlyle has
been unfort nnato of late In the accounts given
of him to the public; hut hv degrees personal
testimony is being borne to the fact that he was
very helpful and kindly to many who needed
encouragement and counsel. It may in fact lie
said of him that his bar], was worse than his
bite. Very often after blurting fortha longtirade
in a tone of great excitement he would wind up
with a merry guffaw, as If to convey that he
knew perfectly well what extravagant things he
had been saying. The prophecy may safely lie
made that as time goes on Carlyle's mempry
