The result of the Indianapolis municipal

The Philadelphia Inquirer says: “It is
always well to hoar both sides I efore de
ciding.” Why don’t you give your readers
a chance to hear both sides of southern out
rage stories?
Gen. Mahone told a Philadelphia drum
mer the other day that he felt tolerably
certain of being elected. The candidate
who says he feels only tolerably coitainof
success must have a hopeless case.
Supt. Bell, of the railway mail service,
has been trying to explain why he has made
so many removals. He says that the serv
ice was crowded with democratic political
heelers. Mr. Bell went to work and
crowded it with republican political heelers.
He hasn’t improved the service.
Afier stating that tho best, republican
sentiment of the country is kindly aud con
siderate toward the south, the Philad, lph;a
Press says; “If there are implacab oi on
the one side, as on the other, who preserve
sectional bitterness, their feeling is not
shared by representative and responsible
republicans.” This lets the Press out of the
list of representative and responsible re
publicans.
Mr. George W. Cable does the south jus
tice for once since he turned bis back on
her in order to popularize himself with
northern people. In a letter to the New
York Tribune, he says that he did uot de
clare at Chautauqua that the southern states
were doing little or nothing for the educa
tion of the colored population. He even
admits that they are doing a great deal in
that direct ion.
The Second Adventists in New Jersey are
said to have looked very melancholy the
other day because the world did not come
to an end Oct 7. as they predicted. The
Rev. Ezfk Wolcott, however, advised them
not to take the disappointment to heart, as
the day for blasting the wicked and crown
ing the righteous as not far distant. Mr.
Wolcott refused to name the day, but he
will not be surprised at any time if he bears
Gabriel’s trumpet.
Gen. Boulanger has retired to the He ot
Jersey, where he may meditate upon tho
fickleness of Frenchmen; but if reports are
true, he will not long meditate upon any
subject. Just now he is said to be planning
a great coup d'etat. He will make a sud
den landing among his friends in France, it
is said, and will issue a manifesto calling
upon the people to join him, and will raiso
bis standard, appeal to the army, and
march toward Paris with ull speed. A
London cablegram puts it this way: “He
is playing for great stakes—power or
prison.” He will probably laud in prison if
be attempts this little game.
Mrs. Frances Hodg-on Burnett is recov
ering from the effects of her recent acci
dent in England, and it is stated that in a
few days she will reply to the charge of
plagiarism recently made against lmr. This
charge was made by Mrs. VVinthrop, of
Baltimore. Mrs. Winthrop says that some
years ago she wrote to Mrs. Burnett for
advice concerning the publication of a book;
that Mrs Burnett very kindly advised her,
and that she sent her manuscript to Mrs.
Burnett to read. Mrs. Burnett kept it a
considerable time, and finally returned it
with the statement that a cursory reading
showed it to be a very good story. After
ward “Little Lord Kaunlleroy” appeared,
and Mr*. Winthrop says that pm ts of it
were taken almost literally from tho manu
script she se.it Mir. Buruott. Some of
those who have road tha two stories, how

The Public Schools First.
The refusal of the House to pass Dr. Ful
ton’ - bill appropriating $15,000 to the statu
university, from the income to be derived
from the next lease of the Western and
Atlantic railr al. indicates very clearly
that it is the policy of the legislature to
provide a good system of public schools be
fore giving any additional assistance to the
higher educational institutions. There is
no doubt that this policy is the correct one.
Although $15,000 would not be a great
deal to take away' from the public schools,
the loss of it would be felt by those schools
in some way. The chief objection t> the
bill, however, was that the making of the
appropriation asked for would have indi
cated a policy different from that which has
been adopted wit’s regard to educational
matters. Tie appropriation would have
been a precedent for other and larger ap
propriations for higher cducatioa. In fact,
the friends of higher education would have
made the precedent, in all probability, the
basis of a demand for a pretty fair division
ol the money for educational purposes be
tween the higher ed national institutions
and the public schools.
The Morning News has insisted, and
still insists, that it is the duty of the state
to provide a good system of common school
education for the childr n of the masses
before undertaking to build up institutions
of higher education, which can only be en
j >yeil by a few. Tuere is no doubt that
Georgians feel a deep interest in the welfare
of the state university, and would like to
see it grow and prosper, but very few of
them are willing that money that can be
spared for educational purposes shall be
given to the university rather than to the
public schools.
There is an awakening throughout the
stale with regard to public schools. Thou
sands of people who a few years ago were
indifferent about them are now their most
earnest advocates. It would be a mistake
not to enc mrage this awakening, and the
only way to do so is to use every dollar
that can be spared in perfecting the public
school system.
The state is bound to give a reasonable
amount of support to the technological
school for boys which it has established,
aud it is probable that it will have to sup
port in the near future a similar school for
girls. Public sentiment seems to favor a
training school for girls, and there is no
reason why they should not be dealt with
as liberally as the boys. These training
schools must be cared for before the work
of building up the state university by state
aid is seri usly entered upon.
The legislature, however much it would
like to do something more for the state
university," must be guided in its acts by
public sentiment, and it is certain that the
people want the public schools and training
schools provided for before any more help
is extended to higher education. It is time
the university wus leaning a little more
heavily upon the rich members of itsalunmi,
and it is probable that it would receive a
great doal of help from that source if it
were not a state institution.
A Suggestion for the Alliance.
A communication in yesterday’s Morn
ing News contains a suggestion that is well
worth the careful consideration of the
alliance cotton planters. It is that jute
bagging shall be used by members of the
alliance instead of cotton bagging this
season, and that t he 75 cents a bale that will
thus be saved by them shall be contributed
to a fund to build jute bagging factories
to be controlled by tho alliance.
It is a question whether the jute bagging
combination can be bealeu if the alliance
persists in using cotton bagging. The agree
ment is quite general among cotton fnc ors
and exporters that such cotton bagging as
that which is being used this season w ill not
answer tho demands of commerce. It does
not afford cotton a sufficient protection.
The loss of cotton covered with cotton bag
ging is very great, because that kind
of bagging does not ro-ist the rough
handling to which a cotton bale is subjected
from the time it leaves ttie plantation until
it reaches its Anal destination in the cotton
mills. Much of tho cotton packed in cotton
bagging tliatreaehes this market is virtually
without auy covering at all. It must be
apparent to any one that cotton in that
condition must lose a great deal in weight
on aocount of the droppings from the bales.
There is another thing that must bo taken
into consideration. It is that it costs more
to handle cotton packed in cotton bagging
than that packed iu jute. The stevedores
are threatening to raise the price of stow
ing cotton packed in cotton bagging. Tne
increased cost of handling and tiie increased
10-b from wastage must eventually come
ont of the pockets of the planters. The
spinners will only pay tho market price of
the cotton they actually receive.
The duty on jute butts is not a burden
some oue, and if a determined effort should
be made next winter lo have it removed
co: cress might lie induced to remove it.
Whether t! e duty is removed or not, tho
alliance planters can save enough probably
on this year’s crop, by using jute bagging,
to build jute bagging mills that will pro
duce more than enough bagging to cover
their cotton next year. Their savings may
not be sufficient to buiid the mills without
other help, but they will give them a con
trolling interest in them.
This matter is worth tho careful consider
ation of the alliance planters. They must
know-that the factors and exporters are
their friends, and are ready to favor them
in any way they can. If cotton bagging
promised to be a success, the factors and
exporters would gladly encourage the man
ufacture of it, and would do all they could
to promote the use of it. As yet, however,
they do not see in it any advantage to the
plauters.
The plan pointed out in the communica
tion referred to in this article appears to bo
a feos.ble one to defeat the jute bagging
combination, and a great feature of it is
that it will cost the planters nothing beyond
what they will lose if they continue to use
cotton bagging. Why not give it some at
tention ?
The Altoona (Fla.) Ilegistcr —one of the
brightest weeklies in Florida, by the way—
agrees with the Morning News that Gen.
McKee is probably a relative of Baby
McKee, and that lie owes his appointment
as a receiver of public moneys 1 1 that rela
tionship. The Register says: “He m ist be
kiu to the McKee infant, else he would
never have been appointed to any office ex
cept a fourth-clans postmastership.”

TOE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1889.
Harrison’s Hand in Virginia.
The campaign in Virginia is increasing in
bitterness. Each part.’ is making a very
vigorous canvass, and serious trouble before
tho electi n is n>t unexpected. Mahone
is sparing no effort ani stopping at noth
ing to secure success.
Tho democ'ats regard with surprise and
feelings of resentment the admi.iistrati in’s
interference in the campaign in Mabone’s
behalf. They hardiy expected to have to
fight the administration as well as Mahone.
Assistant Postmaster General Clarkson had
a conference with Mahone in Petersburg on
Momlay. It is surmised that Mahone was
told that all the Virginia federal offices were
at his disposal, and that any appointments
he d-.sired would be made. Mahone expects,
with this patronage at his command, to be
able to rally all the republicans, except the
few leaders who have declared war against
him, to his support.
It is openly assorted that the republican
national commi.tee is supplying him lib
erally with monoy, as much as $25,000
having been olrea ly furnished him.
It seems rather remarkable that a re
former, such a* Gen. Harrison promised he
would be, should permit the federal offices
in a great state to be bartered away to
secure the success of his party in that state.
What has become of his pledge that in
making appointments he would be guided
by merit alone? The men whom Mahone
wants appointed are his strikers and heelers,
who will persuade, by methods best known
to themselves, the black voters to go to the
polls and vote the republican ticket. Many
of them, doubtless, have no fitness for the
offices for which Mahone intends them.
But what does the President care for that?
Ho wants his party to carry Virginia, aud
he seems ready to go to auy length to ac
complish that object.
Langston, the colored leader, has not
3’et taken the ‘ stump for Mahone. It is
understood that he will do so as soon as
the administration promises that it will use
all its influence to induce the republicans in
congress to give him the seat for winch he
is making a contest, and to which there is
reason to believe he has no valid claim.
Thus congress and the administration are
expected to prostitute their powers that
Mahone may triumph. What a spectacle!
Yesterday Morning’s Fire.
The fire yesterday morning, by which
two cotton presses, several cotton ware
houses, and about 4,000 baies of cotton wore
destroyed, was a very disastrous one, but
as far as known it was purely accidental.
The origin of it is unknown. It burst out
suddonly and spread with remarkable
rapidity. Tho watchman saw it when
it first made its appearance, but it
spread so rapidly that he had
no time to use the hose, which was close at
hand and ready for use, to quench it. The
fire department did what it could to stay
the flames, but it could do very little. The
firemen say that they had plenty of water.
When a cotton fire once gets fairly started
in a warehouse it is about impossible to
check it, however many fire engines there
may be, or however ample the supply of
wator.
The fire will not interrupt the cotton busi
ness of tho city. Thoro are cotton
presses which have been idle and which will
be put in operation at once, if they have n t
already beon. The cotton business will
move right along, just as if the fire had not
occurred. By Nov. 1 the Central Railroad
Company will have anew pre-s ready to be
operated, but there are enough presses with
out it to meet all demands for compressing.
The fire is greatly to be regretted, but
such accidents are to be expected. All that
can be done to prevent cotton fires, either
on shipboard or in warehouses and presses,
is done apparently; but,notwithstanding the
precautions that are taken and the watch
fulness that is exercised, they occur. It
isn’t often, however, that so disastrous a
one as that of yesterday occurs, and ihat
would not have reached such proportions
had not tho burned warehouses been so
situated that the flames leaped from one to
another.
Senator Ingalls is not modest. In a re
cent letter to a friend he says: “It is due
mo that the legislature should return me to
the Senate. Who has dono more for Kan
sas than I? Where would Kansas staid in
the councils of the nation if I had not repre
sented her in the Senate? I have brought
her into prominence by my attacks on men
and mea-ures. The Senate never had a
better prestdi ig officer than I have been. I
have given the slate a standing at Wash
ingtou and before the country which enti
tles me to a re-election, aud I propose to
have it.” Ing ills has given Kansas an un
enviable noto ielv. Ho has never given the
state “standing,” and he would uever do so.
He ought to bo put gently “iu the soup.”
By the way, won’- Senator Plumb object
to Ingalls’ remarks?
One of the republican speakers in the
recent Dakota campaign was Mr. Good
rich, who was defeated for congress in
Florida last fall, and who is depending
up >n a republican congress to seat him.
Mr. Goodrich is represented as having said
in Dakota that during his congressional
campaign he had to carry two pistols and a
shot-gun t.o protect himself against demo
crats. He is said to have referred to tho
democrats of Florida as “hellions.” Good
rich is evidently very angry because he was
defeated, and he is getting himself in trim
for a regular boo ly shirt oration when he
is allowed to present his side of his contest
before congresi.
A Pennsylvania firm is manufacturing
steel ties for the Chicago and Western In
diana railr ad. Steel ties have been used iu
Europe and India for some years, but the
designs for them there were costly,
and unsuitable for American roads.
The ties being made in Pennsylvania are
said to be cheaper than the wooden ones,
aud it is believed that they solve the ques
tion of the highest speed with the greatest
safety. With this tie, the spreading of rails,
resulting iu serious railroad accidents, will,
it is claimed, be imp issible. The patent is
owned by a New York cimpany.
As stated ia our Atlanta dispatches the
other day, Mclver, the colored representa
tive in the legislature from Liberty c cunty,
made his maiden speech upon the bill to
protect roads and bridges against heavy
lumber wagons and the dragging of logs.
The Atlanta Journal siys that tho speech
was listened to with flattering attention,
and that at its close thire was hearty ap
plause. Mclver is quite popular with the
members, whom he treats with the utmost
courtesy.

CUBBBNT COMMENT.
Slowly Learning.
Worn the Baltimore Hun ( Dem.).
The colored people are said to be slowly but

licans only vole them a cattle, and care no
mpre for tuein, if as much, than their political
opponents,
A Humiliating Position.
Pr im Vie New York Star <Dem.\
Gen Harrison’s position in regard to the
vacant commiasiooership of pensions could
scarcely lie more humiliating than it is. He
does not dare to make an apjiointment that is
not agreeable to his arch enemy, Gen. Alger,
and the Grand Array of the Republic.
Was It the Australian System?
Prom the Philadelphia Record (Dem.).
It has been asserted that money enough was
sent to Montana to buy a complete republican
victory, it having been annulled that the pur
chase of votes in Montana would not prove
more costly than in Indiana or West Virginia.
The result Is disappointing. The democrats
have wiped out the republican majority of 5,000,
and carried the state, except for congre sman.
The stumbling block m the pathway of the
vote-buyers was the Australian ballot system.
The Future of Civil Service Reform.
From the New York Evening Post (Dem.).
Civil service r-form is ultimately to be
achieved through the education of the young.
The older generation of men, who were brought
up to believe in the spoils system, are for the
most part hopeless, but the young voters oaly
need to have the truth properly presented to
start out in politics on the right road. The
great advantage which the reformers enjoy is
that they have a cause which thrives upon pub
licity aud discussion, while the spoilsmen hate
not dng so much as to have light thrown upon
their methods.

Savs an American tourist, writing from
Rome: "We went to St. Peter’s twice on Sun

there is one among them who has a phenomenal
soprano voice. He is called ‘The An el of St.
Peter's.’ If I had not looked right at him when
he was singing, 1 should not have believed that
the voice was a man's.”
Mr. Gladstone on one occasion in a speech
told a story illustrating the want of humor
among Englishmen. According to the ex-pre
mier, a ball and concert were gotten up by a
clergyman in order to provide the parish with a
hearse. This has been nearly outdone by a ball
which was held at Dingwall, in Ross-shire, Scot
land, in order to provide an o)ieratlng table for

No woman Is less known to the newspaper

6ympathy for Burglars.
From Texas Siftings.
Rev Hugh O. Pentecost makes some remark
able statements regarding burglass in a recent
sermon. It is, perhaps, to be expected that the
sentimental clergyman should strike the bur.-lar
wih the soft end of the broom, but Pentecost
almost w.-ars the hard end of the broom out on
the police, on society, on the man who is
"burgled." while he has nothing but kind words
for the deserving burglar. Among other things,
Parson Pentecost says: "If I knew a burglar
was in my house, I would go to him, with a
light, unarmed, and talk to him as a friend
whom I wished to help," etc., etc., ad nauseam.
If Pentecost keeps on. his congregation may
be prepared to bear him say, some Sunday:
“Beloved brethren, it will be twenty-five years
tomorrow since poor, red handed Mike cracked
his first crib. I rise to suggest that we take up
a collection to buy him a silver jimmy as a
jubilee present.”
Gen. Cameron’s Wise Advice.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
“Don" Cameron is as cold as ice. and when a
visitor has the rare good luck to see him, he
often wishes he hadn't lieen so successful. The
deceased Cameron, who was the friend aud at
times the patron of democrats and repubdeans
alike, conciliated everybody with wh m he
came in contact. Some years ago, in Pennsyl
vania, Don, who was begintdng to run tilings
with the dynastic force of the family, told his
father at Donegal one day: “I’m going to put
my man in as temporary as well a- perma lent
chairman of the republican state convention to
morrow ’’ “Don’t do it,” said Simon; “why
not conciliate the other faction by letting their
man go in as temporary chairman; it can’t do
you any harm, and when the time for real work
comes your man will go in gracefully.” Don
refused to heed this sapient counsel, anil vowed
he'd have both places. “All right," said the
old gentleman, '‘Lava your own way, but if
your man gets licked don't you come to me for
sympathy.” Don persisted, and his candidate
for permanent chairman did get badly licked.
“Den ” said his father that night, ns they took
a glass of wine together: “Don, when you die
you’ll be richer, probably, than I will, but you
won’t have half as big a funeral!”
Put Him ia a False Position.
From the New York Tribune.
Gen. Sheridan, in his latter days, was rather
peppery, aud oftentimes it required consider
able diplomacy to deal with him. When in his
moods his language was frequently of a sul
phurous nature. The “boys” around the office
were iu the habit of discovering, if possible, iu
advance the temperature of the general’s pri
vate office before doing business with him unless
the exigences of the case demanded it. One
dayace. tain well-known correspondent chanced
to bo in the office when Sheridan w is delivering
in his breezy way a criticism on a chromo whic j
some proud publisher had sent to him repre
senting the general ri ing down the line after
the disaster at Cedar Creek with a regimental
flag in his right hand and followed by an
enormous staff.
“Now just look,” said Sheridan, “and see
how blank ridiculous that man has made me
appear. Here lam represented as riding down
the line with a flag iu my band and a whole
regiment of cavalry as my escort. Why.
blank, blank, blank, I am maue to aupear like a
blank fool. Now the truth is, I rode down the
line with ‘Tony’ Forsyth that was ail there was
to it. No flag, no escort except Forsyth.”
The mlx l day a verbatim account of Sheri
dan's conversation, adjectives and all, appeared
iu print. He was furious.
“I wouldn’t have cared so much about it ex
cept that makes me swear so. People
will tilinx. lam in the habit of swearing. Why,
blank, blank, blame, you know that isn't so!”
Whims of the society Actress.
From the Philadelphia Times.
“A young woman of wealth and social posi
tion was about to make her debut under my
management,” said a well-known theatrical
manager. “The play was bought and tho com
pany engaged. One day she ran into my
office in a great state of agitation.
“ ‘O, Mr. Blank,’ she cried, tugging at her
little valise, from which she drew out a tiny
ribbon, “here’s the color of the dress I am to
wear.’
“1 was dumfounded for a moment.
■ “ ‘Well, Miss H ,’ I said, ‘I don’t quite un
derstand.’
“ ’O. yes,’ she ran on. ‘I shall have a dress
made of that material and cut decollete.'
“ ‘But do you know what the other ladies are
going to wear?’ I asked her.
“ ‘No, I don’t.’
“ ‘Do you know what the colors of the scenery
art, and teat it is customary to obtain informa
tion about these matters before deciding on a
dress? Now, I think a plush gown would be
just—’
“She roused in an instant.
“‘1 shan't wear plush! No, I’ll never put a
bit of it on my body. There, now! I’ll agree
to nothing but silk, sir, aud this color, too.’
“I told her the color would never and > (it was a
a bright yellow), but she insisted that she would
wear it.
" "Look here, miss, said I, for I was annoyed
beyond measure, ’do you imagine that I am
going to build a whole scene, with costumes and
all the rest of it, around that bit of ribbon?’
“It was enough. She left. By and by she
became a little more docile, and she wore
the right dress after all. I only mention
tins to illustrate that there is sometning else in
stage dressing than the mere selection of showy
ana expensive dry goods.”
She Has a Little List.
From (he Chicago News.
At a State street jeweler’s: “Here I've been
for two mortal hours trying to buy a wedding
present for Gertrude T with $25, aud posi
tively the only things I oau find that I really
like are a $lO fan aud a SSOO miniature!”
’’O, but haven't you seen her list?"
“No. What list?”
"You have evidently not been to call on her
lately. Why, sh -’s adopted a brand-new English
fashion, and has a list of all the things she
wants given her displayed on a small table iu
the drawing-room, so that all her visitors can
examine it for themselves and mark off the
articles they prefer to give. It is a strip of satin
paper about two yards long, and a gold pencil
lies beside it.”
“Are all the artioles mentioned expensive?”
“O, dear, no! So ne of them are. but others
are more trifles. It’s like this: A gold thimble,
a Stein way baby graud piano, a writing case, a
pair ot' sleeve links, a glove buttoner, a pearl
necklace, a lace handkerchief, silver forxs and
spoons, a gold pen.silver tea service, and so on.
Gertrude told me she’s nearly sure her father in
tends to give her the piano, aud she examines
the list first thing every morning, hoping to see
a cross against the ’baby grand, 'but it’s not
there yet.
"There's always a fashion in welding pres
ents. Last year was a lamp year. No bride of
1888 will ever need to buy a lamp if she lives to
be a hundred.
“And this year? Why, this year it’s candle
sticks. There is a flood of candlesticks of all
kinds and sizes and values. ’Louis XIV,’ ‘Re
naissance,’ Wedewooil. Leeds and Sevres, they
just pour iu on the brides, at least on those who
don’t follow the new fashion, and there are lots
of girls who won’t. They say it seems too
much like asking for things. Aud it’s true one
can't help having a little feeling of that sort.
But it’s foolish.”
Crape on the Door.
Crape on that dear old door!
Crape on that dear old door!
Tue dying sunlight’s softest, loveliest beam
Dropped on its somber f 'llls one golden gle im;
The evening dew-drops wet the mournful token.
Of lonely lives, of happy circles broken;
And tears fell from tbo vine that wandered o’er
The rustic trellis round that dear old door,
One cheerless wintry morn
That uark fabric swayed in the crisp air:
Again at autumn’s dawn
its folds unwelcome came and rested there.
Father and mother to the great unknown
Have passed in silence, we are left alone.
Crape on that dear old door!
We were so happy there in days of yore!
Here, father, mother sat;
At dusk their loving ciiat
Agaiu I hear: aud Bounds of mirth and gladness.
From romping girls aud boys, strangers to saa
ness;
Our mother's mild reproof. “The noisy crowd’ ’;
Our lather's smile when joke and laugh was
loud;
While sue with careful hand
Tied up a wandering flower's long slender
spray;
And he, proud of his land,
l’raised the rank waving corn and fresh cut
hay.
Alas, alas, we never, nevermore
Shall gather at the dusk about that door.
Crape on that dear old door!
Some tender hand hung purple wild flowers o'er
Its aid funeral folds so dark and drear.
And from their blossoms—blessed was I to
hear—
An angel's hopeful voice;
It said: "Rejoice, rejoice,
In a fair land where brooks and birds are
singing.
Where summer smiles, where fadeless flowers
are springing.
You ail wid gatuer never more to roam.
Take comfort, evening bringeth you all home.
Homeward at close of day.
When shadows le ,gth n over sea and land,
Homeward you'll wend your way;
When cubing lidos break softly on the sand.
Iu anew home all, all will meet mice more,
Where never crape Is hung upon the door.”

Henry Tilford of Somers, N. Y.. captured a
young hawk during the breeding season last
spring. It was kept in his yard with a string
tied to its leg, and had become quite civilized.
A few days ago Tilford went to pick it up, when
the bird turned upon him without warning. It
buried its talons in tho back of his right hand,
lacerating the flesh terribly. The hawk will
never know what it is to hunt chickens, and
Tilford has sworn off trying to tame the poultry
snatchers.
Although a postal telegraph sys’em has
been in operation in England for so many years,
it is only during the current month that facili
ties for telegraphing money have been afforded
the country. Now in eighteen of tae largest
cities a money order can be telegraphed from
or paid at the postoftice, but already there are
complaints that no saving is effected by the
new system. Telegraphing is such slow work
in the old country, and the mail service is so
exceptionally rapid, that a letter often beats a
telegram in a fair race.
A year and A half ago Rev. John G, Fagg, a
young clergyman, and at that time pastor of
the Dutch Relormed church at Cobbleskill, N.

patch announced his marriage to Miss Marga
ret W. Gillespie of Jersey City. Mr. Fagg aud
Miss Gillespie were schoolmates, aud afterward
became lovers. They were betrothed just be
fore Mr. Fagg’s d-pirture for China. Oa Aug.
19 last Miss Gillespie started for Yokohama.
Japan, where Mr. Fagg was to meet her, and
the journey of BJO miles was traveled in safety.
A very peculiar care recently came before
the German courts. Two ladies of Wesel made
a complaint before a magistrate that one of
their neighbors was the owner of a rooster
whose loud crowing disturbed their slum!) rs
every night. Tho magistrate decided “that the
noise was disorderly, and fined the owner of tne
rooster because he did not prevent the animal
from crowing at night.” An appeal from this
decision was taken to the higher court, but
without success. Now, it appears, the oWDen f
ttie object tollable bird has appealed to the high
est triounal in the country. He argues that his
rooster only exercises its natural right when it
crows.
A dispatch from Chicago says: “A peculiar
accident occurred Sunday afternoon in the
Libby prison. Many persons were frighten -d,
and much confusion resulted. Resting against
one of tho pillars were a number of old war
muskets. No one was nearer than five feet to
them. Suddenly one of the muskets was dis
charged. the contents tearing a hole in the ceil
ing above. The report was terrific and several
people were greatly excited over its suddenness.
How the old musket was exploded no one can
explain. It had done service during the
late war, aud some soldier had loaded it iu
readiness to fire. The cuarge must have been
iu the rifle at least twenty-six years.
A well-known woman of Racine. Wis.. re
cently underwent two surgical operations with
peculiar result. She had been troubled with
severe pains in her left arm and right leg for a
long time, and treatments by various physi
cians afforded her no relief. Rome days ago
she consulted Dr. Senu of Milwaukee, who
opened the arm. He discovered a needle em
bedded in the tissues and muscles of the arm,
which he removed. The operation afforded the
patient temporary relief, but paius continued
in the right leg. Dr. Sena was again culled,
and operated on the leg. finding a second needle
embedded ia the tissues of that limb. The doc
tor says the case is a most peculiar one, es
pecially so as the patient cannot imagine
when or how the needles entered her body.
“The profession of the law,” a well-known
lawyer said the other day, “reaches its greatest
higl.ta and its lowest depths in Washington.
Tnere ar lawyers there who will not undertake
a case for a retainer of less than SI,OOO. Some
of the fees paid there are so large that when a
lawyer gets hold of one of them he is forever
unfitted tor ordinary work. The other extreme
is reached in the police co rt. I was a witness
in that court oi ce, and while I was waiting for
my case to come up, a lawyer, charged with
some sharp practice, was questioned lather
closely by the judge as to forms of practice iu
the court. He ratiier reluctantly admitted that
tti re were lawyers practicing in tho court who
would undertake the defense of a grand larceny
case for $5. and some who would take a case of
petit larceny or as-ault for $1 50. I think that
reaches the limit.”
A congress of chemists was held recently in
Germany in which several notable scientific
diversions were exhibit® I. Oue in particular
attracted special attention. Dr. Hoffman of
Cologne gave a short lecture enumerating the
difficulties experienced by students in remem
bering the constitution of organic compounds,
and proposed an original method of fixing the
formula' in their memory. A ballet then com
menced, in which the coryphees, dressed in
various colors, represented the different atoms.
Under the direction of the professor, the atoms
grouped themselves in different attitudes, rep
resenting the chemical compounds and their
reactions. Specially noteworthy were the com
position of benzole and aniline and its deriva
tives. On the formation of fuschtne, or any of
the coloring matters, brilliant lights illuminated
the groups. The representation terminated in
the explosion of one of the substances. This
"excelsior ballet" was the crowning event of
the evening.
The other day Messrs. Frank and Clark, two
Wyoming hunters, were passing along a thick
growth of willows on the Sybille, when they
heard a noise in the brush. They started to in
vestigate. when suddenly five beans rushed out
aud confronted thorn. They acted as quickly as
possible, and used their Winchesters with deadly
effect upon three. Five was tco.inany lor them,
however, an 1 tiefore they could open fire at the
remaining two the beasts were upon them. They
were three miles from catup anil literally in the
embrace of two bears. One ture w its arms around
Frank, who succeeded in slipping his head under
one of the bear's fore legs, so that the brute could
not attack it, and. obeying the instinct of self
preservation, reached round to his hip pocket
tor his knife. Th ' act was quickly int rcepted,
for the bear buried his teeth in his band and bit
it through. Meanwhile, Clark had succeeded in
freeing himself from the bear which had at
tacked him, and had dispatched it. He promptly
came to Frank's assistance, and shot in the back
the bear which clutched the latter. This so en
raged the beast that it immediately released
Frank and attacked Clark. Frank now turned
rescuer, anil, notwithstanding the severe injury
to his hand, succeeded in getting in a very good
shot, which struck the bear in tue shoulder, and
brought it to tae ground. Both men were
badly scratched and bruised, and their clothing
was torn.
While Mary Anderson is spending her holi
days with William Black in Scotland, "Brother
Joe" is living quietly in Hampstead with his
young wife only a few doors away from Step
fatner Griflio. Dr. Griffin sys that Miss Ander
son is as well as ever she was, and quite well
enough to act. Iu fact he se ms to be a litt’.e
bit disturbed that "Our Mar. " does not return
to tne boards at once. He intimates that she

"Rosalind,” a character that she has not yet
done i:i London. Joe Anderson has been pay
ing a small part in a "curtain-litter” at the
Criterion this summer, but without attract
ing very much attention. People
who have met Mrs. Anderson
in Hampstead like her very much. When her
father, Lawrence Barrett, stopped a* South
ampton for an hour on his way from Bremen to
America recently she went down with Joe to
see him. Joe tnoroughiv understands that he
has a better chance of getting on iu the the
atrical profession iu the United States than he
has in England, but the tact is that it is next to
impossible for him to live in America because
he suffers so much fro n asthma. Only a short
time after his marriage he had to sit up several
nights in a chair bemuse i.e could uot breathe
lying down. He finds that so far as asthma is
concerned, he can get along better in England,
though so far as acting goes a much brighter
career opens before him in America.
