Naturally Mr. Cleveland is opposed to
the republican propensity for frying the fat
out of people, because he is a somewhat fat
man himself.
Republican papers that made so many
jocular remarks about democratic “getting
together” will now observe that the “un
terrified” have “got together” in rather
large numbers in congre-s.
Some people are born great—like the baby
elephant; some achieve greatness—like
Grover Cleveland, and some have that
same greatness thrust upon the back of
their neck—like Charles Dana. Of the
•whole assortment the last is said to be the
“most uncomfortablest.”
Brer Dana may snicker at the Hon.
Grover Cleveland's rotund proportions and
cavort around and shout for the Hou.
Davey Hill just as much as he likes. But
as long as the Hon. G. Cleveland stands in
the presidential alley the Hon. D. Hill can’t
get by. lie may just make a sniail geo
metrical calculation on that fact. Cleve
land got there first, and he just about
snugly fills up the aperture.
At a recent meeting of the board of
directors of the Rivermont Hand Company
of Lynchburg it was resolved to make a
donation to the trustees of Randolph-Macon
College of twenty acres of ground for the
location of a female college, and *40,000 in
money and *60,000 in paid up non-assossible
stock bonds on condition that the trustees
shall agree to establish a woman’s college
on the ground at a cost of *IOO,OOO, and
raise SIOO,OOO additional for the en
dowment ( f the institution. Educational
institutions appear to be keeping abreast of
industrial progress in Virginia.
'Work on the Federal building at Texar
kana is to begin within a few days. Stone
for trimming is to come from Recos, Tex.,
the granite from Dakota, and the terra
oottafrom an eastern state. St. Louis will
furnish the brick. The building will stand
on the state line, half in Texas and half in
Arkansas. The portion standing on the
Texas side will be one story high, and used
as a postoffice for Texarkana, Tex., while
the Arkansas part will be two stories high,
the first story to be used a* a postoffice for
Texarkana, Ark., aud the second story as a
United States court for the Texarkana di
vision of the Eastern division of Arkansas.
W hen complete, it will be a very peculiar
•tructure.
Official financiers in Waskiington express
the opinion that the expenditures for pen
sions during the fiscal year will amount to
at least $140,000,000, to cover which less
than $100,000,000 was appropriated at the
last session of congress. Pension bu mess
Is a progression. Each quarter the ex
penses increase. Since the Ist of July,
$64,000,000 have been drawn out of the
treasury for pensions. About $19,000,000
have been drawn during the present month,
ar.d tfco treasury department has a faint
hope that that sum will not be t pent at
once, but will last until the Ist of January.
I bus there is likely to be a deficiency in
the appropriation for the present fiscal
year on account of pensions of $<6,000,090,
to be appropriated by the next congress.
Just here it is interesting to note that
k Corporal Tanner’s fees as a pension claim
■ agent since be was displac and by Commis
sioner Raum .n the pension office foot up
over $'.97,000. Only a few of his fees have
bf on above $lO. So it seems that the pro
fessional corporal and veteran wail can rob
the old soldier with the best of them.
Can He Cure Consumption 7
Nearly the whole civilized world now has
its collective eyes fixed upon Dr. Koch, the
eminent German physician who proau-as
a genuine and permanent remedy for pul
monary consumption. His statements con
cerning it snow him to be a true scientist
and a very conservative and c ireful inves
tigator. Hence his assertions and promises
have been uniformly gourde 1 and modest.
And fcis researches seem so thorough and
systematic as to inspire general confident:).
Every stage of the development of his
wonderful cure has been and will be
watched with the deepest interest.
Whea he started out to find a positive
cure for this dread disease, which has bafflqd
the combined skill and experience of tne
world of medical science for ages, he went
about it io a methodical manner. By a
series of experiment) he first definitely as
certained the cause of consumption. Then
he set to work to devise an effective rem
edy. Solving that problem could have been
no light undertaking. It required long and
patient study and thought, as well as much
careful experimenting. Even now he ap
pears a trifle loth to believe in his • wn suc
cess though repeated trials seem to have
proven the reine iy effective. His cantiou)
method of procedure aud mod -st abstinence
from asserting any great claims are the
chief reasons for belief in his ultimate suc
cess, if it has not already been attained.
“When the international medical congress
was in session in Berlin, last summer. Prof.
Koch enthusiastically declared that the end
of his researches had almost been reached in
the discovery of processes for arresting the
ravages of consumption. In his address lie
spoke of certain metallic preparations which
possess the quality of checking the develop
ment and spread of the micro-organisms in
consumptive persons. He also men
tioned the experiments in produc
ing tuberculosis. Kabbits, pigs and
other animals were infected with the dis
ease-bearing bacilli, or, in other words,
were inoculated with consumption. Con
sumptive animals were then subjected 1 1
the operation of the medicine. ‘ At the time
of the medical congress the experiments had
not proceeded so far as to operate on
consumptive men aud women. This final
stage has now been reached, and Prof.
Koch is about to announce its success to a
waiting world.”
Emperor William has summoned Prof.
Koch to an interview in order personally to
learn the results that have been obtained
from the new cure. It is said the Same im
pulsive sovereign has also made a personal
gift of $250,003 to Prof. Koch, and another
of the same amount to endow a national
institute for the production of the lymph
used in Koch’s process.
His theory is that the affected part is
infested with tubercular bacillii, and his
treatment is said to be inoculation with a
transparent yellowish lymph which emits a
slight odor of carbolic acid. Its action is
to throw off the bacillus by the necrotic
process. After the injection, the patient
becomes feverish, and the fever is followed
by chills and vomiting. But improvement
is almost immediate and very rapid.
This lymph, the Frankfort Zeitung states,
can be sold for 25 marks (about $6) for a
small vial. And Jit further declares that
“the success of the treatment is certain in
tubercular affestions of the skin, joints and
bones, and also in the early stages of pul
monary complaints by the lymph destroying
the tubercular bacillus.” Several authori
ties confirm the report of the cure by Dr.
Koch’s method of a case of lupus (cancer) on
the face and arms within five days.”
Prof. Koch has dismissed as completely
cured several of the patients whom he has
been treating for consumption.
By a late cable dispatch we are informed
that in accordance with his stntemeut that
he desires neither material advantages nor
pecuniary reward for his discovery Prof.
Koch will, in two or three days, publish a
full account of his researches in connection
with the discovery.
Further details of its development will be
awaited with no little impatience.
Urging Educational Uplifting.
Ohio’s great national hen professor ap
pears to faintly appreciate his own import
ance—or the lack thereof. While in the
historical library of the Johns Hopkins
University ex-President R. B. Hayes was
asked by l)r. Adams to say a few words to
the students on the subject of negro educa
tion in the south. He said: “My title to
such a recognition on your part is very
feeble. ‘What can we do with the negro?’
is a question of great interest to-day. Their
number is not over 6,500,090 in
this country, but it is a matter
of great importance bow to improve
their condition morally and educationally.
If there is any young colors! man in
the south whom we find to have a talent for
art or literature, or any special aptitude for
study, we are willing to give him money
from the education funds to send him to
Europe or to give him an advanced educa
tion, but. hitherto their chief and almost
only gift has been that of oratory. What
you find as historical students as to their
condition in the south, especially in the
‘black belt,’ is surely not encouraging.
They are seen most favorably in what is
called the’ Virginia land district of Ohio.
This tract of land between the Scioto,
Little Miami and Ohio rivers was granted by
the state of Virginia to its officers in the
revolutionary war, many of whom settled
there with their slaves. Most of these were
freed, and have increased rapidly, with a
corresponding increase in education. A
careful examination of that region will
show a considerable advance in the
good qualities of civilization uud a proper
appreciation of citizenship. Ida not
despair of the other negroes, but am rather
hopeful of their being uplifted in the fut
ure.” This is a living question, in which
the poultry professor is peculiarly inter
ested. It is to bis personal advantage io
vigorously wrassle with the|dark-caraplected
problem and hope hard. Unless you can
construct some sort of a tidy scheme that
will da that uplifting mighty quick, pro
fessor, we do most seriously apprehend that
some considerable of your fat speckled hens
will be “uplifted in the future.”
Very naturally Secretary Wisdom was
greatly gratified that his prediction that
uneasiness in Wail street would soon sub
side has been fulfilled. Still, to make very
sure that there should not be a return of
the panic he issued an order to the sub
treasurer at San Francisco to receive de
posits of money there for transmission to
New York free of charge. These deposits
are to be made immediately available at
the New York sub-treasurv. and placed to
the credit of the depositor at San Fran
cisco. By this act it is intended to put into
the market at New York all money now
held by Sub-Troasurar Roberts, and thus
afford still further relief. Yet that is not
one of the recognizsd duties of the United
•States treasurer.
THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1890.
A Law that Should bs Amended.
The anti-lottery law sh .uH b3 amended.
Its provisions are now more sweeping than
they were intended te bo. is purpose was
to prevent the uss of the mailt by lottery
companies. It does that, and a great deal
in Ye. It interferes with the publication of
what is legitimate news.
Eii'ionsof quite a number of papers have
been t .rown out of the mail) in differe it
parts of the country, because they
contained accounts of the results
of raifl * at church fairs,
or advertisements, intended t> promote
legitimate business enterprises, of schemes
in which tnere is an element of chance. It
was not intended, of course, that newspapers
should he restricted in this manner. The
only object was to prevent them from ad
vertising lotteries. The law is so broad in
its application, however, that it is a very
easy matter for newspapers to violate it un
intentionally, and wr.en the postofiicg au
thorities fail t> take notice of these
unintentional and minor violations the
enemies of tbe offending papers —and every
paper has enemies—are quick to inform
against them.
There may be congressmen who are glad
of having done something calculat'd ti
annoy newspapers, since there are very few
newspapers which have not annoyed con
gressmen at one time or another. There
ought to le enough congressmen, however,
wtio have such a high sense of duty as not
to permit themselves to be influenced in the
discharge of their public duties by a desire
to retaliate.
The newspapers are not the losers by hav
ing their editions thrown out of the mails.
The tne constituents of the
congressmen, are the sufferers, and if con
gressmen refuse to amend the law, so as to
limit it in its operations to the evil intended
to be remedied, tboy will injure the
readers of the newspapers, not the news
papers. One of the first things congress
should do on reassembling is to amend the
anti-lottery law.
Opposing Don Cameron.
One of the results of the election in
Pennsylvania indicates that there will be a
bitter contest for the election of a successor
to United States Senator J. liintid Cam
eron, whose term expire) March 3, 1821.
In P liladelphia the Me Manes, who bitterly
opposed Quay, are also opposed to Cameron
because of his intimacy with the former.
There is a prospect that at least eight or tea
members of the Philaielohia delegation to
the next legislature will oppose Cameron
for re-election. In Allegheny county,
where the figures have soured the Quay
people mo e thin the nows of their
defeat, tney are indulging in wild talk
about getting even, and while the McManes
people in Philadelphia are opposed to
Cameron for supporting Quay, the news
from Pittsburgh) that the Quay people will
not support Cameron, because of his half
hearted support of Senator ’Delama
ter’s candidacy for governor. Penn
sylvania will have in the next legis
lature 156 republicans and ninety-eight
democrats on joint ballot, the Senate stand
ing thirty republicans and twenty demo
crats. Among the republicans are a num
ber of those who believe that it is time for
both Quayism and Cameronism to be rele
gated to the rear and new men brought to
the frout. While greatly rejoicing over the
election of Qov. Pattison, the demo
crats are evidently determined to
take advantage of every dis
ruption which may occur within
the ranks of their political opponents. With
this end in view, it is given out that ex-
Postmaster Harrity, who receives most of
the credit for Pattison’s victory, Chairman
Kerr and Willihm L. Scott of Erie, will
form a combination with the farmers’ alli
ance of Pennsylvania in order that, in suc
ceeding elections, by working harmoniously
together, they can secure control of the
legislature, and thereby enact such laws as
will serve the purposes of both organiza
tions. All of these schemes seem to be de
void of a thought for the vital iuterests of
Don, the senator who chipped in $109,000
to keep his party out of the soup. Of such
ingratitude are politicians made.
Wyoming’s first legislature assembled at
Cheyenne Wednesday last at noon. Per
manent organization was effected by the
election of O. P. Kellogg as speaker of the
House and William R. Schnitger for presi
dent of the Senate. Then the fight for the
United States senators began. Heretofore
the election of ex-Delegate J. M. Carey has
been regarded as certaiD. His chances are
now imperiled by the entrance into the race
of Gov. Warren, who had frequently been
charged with having senatorial aspirations
concealed about his person, but said
nothing. He is now in the fight to win.
lie lias the Laramie county and North
ern Wyoming members, but is bitterly
opposed by the Albany county and
Westorm Wyoming members. Albany
county members have united upon ex-Gov.
John W. Hoyt, and aro trying to bring all
of Warren’s opposers to their aid. Both
Carey and Warren live in and
the cry is raised that Cheyenne wants to
control the state. Opposition to the election
of two Cheyenne men is so bitter that the
fighting members threaten to bolt the
caucus and refuse to vote for Carey until
the other senator is named. Should Warren
bo nomiuated they will fight Carey, dospi.e
his accredited services in congress toward
gaining statehood for Wyoming. Through
the meshes of this diverting republican
tangle of heels and heads a democrat may
[lossibly manage to squeeze iuto the Senate.
Let them fight it out.
Election time3 are hard on the gentle
politician even in North Carolina. It had
been generally believed that the farmers’
alliance would support Senator Vance for
re-election to the United States Senate, but
the Progressive Farmer, an allianoe organ,
published at Raleigh an! edited by L. L.
Polk, president of the alliance, has declared
its opposition to the senator. It is reported
that alliance democrats will vote with the
republicans and elect Polk. Bat that doesn’t
seem likely. Just wait till “Old Zab” gets
among the grangers with his jokes.
Hearing of Succi in his great starvation
act, a young man has written to the New
York papers to offer his services as an ani
mated vacuum for ab*ut siiJo. Ho says be
has had some experience of practical fam
ine, but before starting in on this voyage of
emptiness he suggests that he would like to
hnve a slight advance of cash and a square
fill up. After that ha might ehanga his
mind.
In a recent interview Senator Sherman is
reported to havo said that the “only course”
for the republicans ito continuooa the lice
they “have pursued, in the hope that by the
next election the public will be convince!
by the test of time that the tariff will ad
vance prices.” No need for further tests,
senator. They are thoroughly convinced.

A triumvirate of well known gamblers in
Minneapolis are in au unhappy state of mind
just now, says the St. Paul I*U)ncer Press.
Notwithstanding the vigilance of the police,
bese irresistible and speculative spirits man
aged to get a faro bank in operation in a very
-ecluded place. There was a good “bank roll”
be.iind the institution, although it was a very
un pretentious establish ment,
i haries L. Loomis, proprietor of the Mint
saloon on Washington avenue north, started in
to try his luck a few’ days ago. Tha most
hazardous member of the triumvirate was deal
ing. He kindly consented to raise the and
2') limit wh:cQ was tne rub in the house Mr.
Loomis seemed to have a “hunch” tnat things
vere going his way, and he Dlayed a very stiif
game. He played steadily for a couple of da vs,
'he interesting pastime being interrupt© 1 only
ror rma's. Tbe p aver’s roll increased right
along. He ha 1 puenomenal luck, and when he
concluded to quit he was nearly $1t.,000 abend
of tbe bank.
This is the greatest individual winning in the
history of Minneapolis. It is so very unusual
an occurrence that it brought consternation to
the losers. Mr. Loom s' good luck is the talk
in local sporting circles He does not propose
to venture any more, and will us** the monev in
some business enterprise. This, it semis, is'not
his only heavy streak of luck. Several years
igo he sat dow r n to some stiff poker gam*s and
won $5,0d0. That money was put into pi o
in £outta Minneapolis.
Finishing a Book.
Opie Read, the Arkansas Traveler, was being
congratulated in the rotunda of the Grand Pa
cific Hotel, a few evenings ago, says the Chi
cago Post, upon having finished his last and
most interesting novel, “A Kentucky Colonel,’’
the tent r of each congratulation being that the
author must breathe more easily with the re
sponsibility of writing another novel off his
nind. "Avery false idea,” responded Read,
releasing a cloud of smoke from Ills mouth.
A verv false Idea. When I wrote ‘finis’ to that
book I felt as if I had just parte, 1 with old
irlends—friends who during all the time 1 was
writing the book were with me throughout the
lay, whether 1 happened to be in a streetcar,
at home, in lied, or at dinner. They were at my
side, iu front of me, behind, talk
ing to me, to one ano her, and
again listening to me. Each had a (to me)
visible shape, and sometimes its face would
lighten with happiness or cloud with sorrow,
according to the strain of our conversation or
nature of our imaginary adventures. Toward
tlie last I took as deep an interest in them all as
were they human flesh and blood realities.
Evei y one had each duv something new to tell,
semething to propose, and together we’d chat
about it and work at the proposition. Before I
had finished my book I had about me a circle of
friends from w-hoiu X was almost as loth to part
as 1 would be from the friends of mv real life.
But I had to stop, and did so. Though when i
turned the manuscript over to the publishers 1
felt as lonesome as a man taken from his
friends and thrust among strangers,” and, re
placing his famous pipe between his teeth, the
traveler from Arkansas strolled out into the
night.
A Mixed Collision.
A drummer for a Buffalo house had observed
that he meant to buy an accident insurance
policy, but forgot it, says the New Y’ork .sun,
when the agent for a Wisconsin windmill re
plied:
“I had a little experience that w ay about ten
years ago, aud since I got well 1 preterto travel
on on my shape, watche i over more or less by
Providence.”
Of course we all wanted to hear the particu
lars. and he kindly continued:
“It was on the Illinois Central I got an acci
dent policy in Chicago, and started out feeling
that I had done the correct thing. Six hours
la er. just as the porter was making up the
first berth, we struck a horse on the track, ani
half the train went into the ditch.”
“You were in the half?” queried one of the
group.
“Of course. Our car turned completely over,
and fell or rolled down a bank twelve feet
high.”
“And all the passengers were killed or hurt?”
“No, sir. not a person was killed, and I was
the only one out of twenty who was hurt. I had
my skuil fractured, my leg broken, five teeth
knocked out, and a foot smashed, and not
another person could show a scratch.”
"How do you account for it?”
“I was the only one with a policy . ”
“But that couldn’t account for it.”
“Well, then, all the others bad just accepted
and were r.ading tracts just handed them by a
roving evangelist. I didn’t take one.”
“But that wouldn't explain it, either,” per
sisted the other.
”Oh, well, then. I had just called a chan with
whom I was playing euchre a uar, and t think
he aud X and the collision got mixed up
However, there was a mistake in the date of
the policy, and I got no benefit, and I want
nothing more to do with such insurance.
Makes a policy holder too reckless with his
moutb.”
Amenities of Fashion.
The niceties of fashion are both intricate ana
variable, says the New York Times. Two
handsome girls on the high scat of a mail phae
ton sped at a lively gait behind a fine pair of
dapple gray horses over the broad and smooth
road leading from Fifth avenue into Central
park. It was 1!
hind the girls sat a groom dretsed in quiet
livery. Afi this was iu the hast of taste as
fashion now decrees it. The tight, tailor-made
gowns of the girls, the large boutonnieres stuck
man fashion oa the lappels of their coats, their
tan gloves and their high collars did not carry
the suggest oa of vulgarity. These were
thoroughbred young women going for a very
quiet drive.
At 4 o’clock in the afternoon, while the park
was crowded with equipages, another finely ap
pointed mail phaeton, drawn by an irreproacha
ble team of bay horses, and containing two
young women whoso attire was in good taste
in spi*e of its smart ness, rolled swiftly along in
the parade and attracted marked attention
from all sliies. There was a clean and exlrem
ly elegant groom behind the young women, and
to the casual gaze'toe entire arrangement
girls included, was as dainty and proper as the
corresponding one of tbe morning. Y'et a great
difference was there, nevertheless, though not
apparent. The afternoon girls were of the stripe
that is not in tbe least thoroughbred
The unmistakable proof of this was to’
be found in the fact that they drove
in such style after midday. Cus
tom dictates with absolute particularity
the rules in the matter of walking and driving
in New Y’ork. A young woman may be as
horsey and ns showy as she chooses when she
goes into the park in the morning, but when
the afternoon drive is progressing she must
either recline in a victoria or be driven out in a
cart, accompanied by a gentleman. She can
not by any possibility drive her own horses at
this latter time without being looked upon as
“fast” by every one that is informed In the
etiquette of the lubject.

Some of Miles Standish’s old chums organized

country. The ninety-fourth annual supper of
the organization was recently given. Tne

officers are running the society to-day. Iu its
career of ninety-four years it has lost but one
horse, and tor the detection of the thief who
stole, this animal two years ago over $2,000 has
been expended. The hunt is still going on, as
the old farmers who comprise toe society would
rather divide aud squander all they have than
admit that they are beaten.
Since the murder of Chief of Police Hennesey,
forty or fifty Italians have been arre ted in
New Orleans for the crime, many of whom

This is said to bean indication of the Mafia, us
its members are believed to hu e their murders
done for them. The Italian colony in New Or

American cities. It is variously estimated to
number from 15,000 to 25,000. Persons in New

A writer in Figaro says the asp has been such
a success in Bernhardt’s “Cleopatra" that
it has, offwill, strike for the honors of capital
letters on the playbills and posters. Tue line it
wishes in capitals is this: ‘‘The Asp, M. Viper,
of Egypt.” Lucy Hooper had been to see Bern
hardt in the new play, and her description of
the death scene is interesting: “Cleopatra’s
action and gestures in this scene aro of an un
impeachable modesty. She does not opeu her
tunic, but slips the snake iito it from above,
pressing her hands upon the imprisoned reptle
as she calls upoa it to ‘bite—bite again—bite
harder'—and one gets cold chills down one's
back while contemplating her. Then, when she
dies, stie falls upon her back, so as not to hurt
the hidden serpent.”
Col. Frank A. Burr of Philadelphia is in
London, writes Eugene Field, full of business.
He has been commissioned to prepare a series
of magazine articles upon a subject which I
am not permitted to divulge, and in addition to
this he is gathering material for a series of
newspaper articles on the subject of American
writers übroad. T.e number of these writers
is very large; more prominent among them in
London I recall at this moment Mrs. MeultoD
Miss Gurney. Mrs. Burnett, Isaac Henderson ’
Thomas Nelson Page. Harold Fred-ric, Sidney
Luska, Arthur Warren and Bret Harte. 1 see
that Whitelaw Reid is collaborating with a
Frenchman in preparing the letters of Tailey

Phil. B. Thompson, whose friends in Ne.v
Y’ork, says the World, are nearly all friends of
Senator Joe Blackburn also, has reassured
many of them in tbe last day or two about the
puysical w-elfare of that handsome Kentucria i
whose buggy played him false some days ago!
Mr. Thompson, who is a connoisseur himself in
that art of living well, of which Mr. Blackburn
has long been a distinguished supporter, de
clares that the fail was not, in reality, so serious
as at first reported, and that “Handsome Joe”
will, in a short time, be restored to the full
measure of his wouted activity. Senator BlacK
burn’s physioian had. some time ago, prescribed
to his patient a stricter diet than any gentle
man from Kentucky is inclined to fancy. But
the result wa-, fortunately enough, most bene
ficial, when, after the accident, broken bones
and bruised tissues began to heal, and Mr
Blackburn may. before a long while, it is said’
drink a toast with his friends and admirers as
of old.
Marie Roze announces that she will make
her farewell appearance next season, says the

Henry Mapieson, his cruelty and violence hav

Roze says that she intends to make her home

of the seneme that Christine Nilsson, Mrs. Ber
nard Beere and Marie Van Zandt made up to
visit the United States together next winter.
That would have been a flue old trio to foist
upon a young and impressionable public! Nils
son’s reputation in Paris is pretty salty, and as
for Mrs. Uertard Feere—well, her individuality
is not such that good then should admire or
good women emulate it. 1 see that the latter
lady is engaged at toe Criterion Theater, so I
take it for granted that she has abandoned the
idea of crossing the ocean next winter.
